Chapter 226 Who knows how much she hates her?
Xu Yan chimed in, "Yes, I'll bet some more; I bet too little before."
Chen Xinlan explained, "We all bet on you, as well as Senior Brother Mei and Junior Sister Long. We're all family, so we have to show some respect. We can't leave without betting on anyone. Well, well..."
Zhong Lingxin laughed and said, "That would be too embarrassing, wouldn't it? Don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you, and I will never let you down."
Zong Lingyun also laughed and said, "Even the sect leader bet on you. I think every senior brother and uncle in the sect affairs hall bet on you. However, they didn't bet much."
Zhong Lingxin felt a warmth in her heart.
Everyone bet on it, many people knew they would lose, but the sect still bet.
This is simply to tell all the disciples that the sect believes in you.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived at the main street of Qingling City.
Several casinos were packed with people.
Above the casino, the odds were displayed.
It's currently the time for Nascent Soul stage matches, so the odds for Nascent Soul stage matches are placed in the most prominent position.
When Zhong Lingxin and the others looked, they saw that Nangong Yike of the Beast Taming Sect was at the top of the odds list, with odds of 1:1.
The second-ranked player on the odds list is Sheng Xiaofeng from the Taixu Sect, with odds of 1:1.5.
The third place goes to Chu Xiyue of Chaoyuanzong, with odds of 1:2.
The three from Qingyun Sect were all ranked last, the last three.
Chen Xinlan explained, "They said that Senior Brother Mei and Junior Sister Long got into the top 30 by luck. Junior Sister Zhong, you were scared out of your wits in the last round, and it won't be easy for you to regain your composure. So no matter who you draw in this round, you will definitely lose. Besides, you drew Nangong Yike."
Zhong Lingxin nodded: "Let's go, let's go, hurry up and place your bets, don't bet too late, the odds have changed."
Zhong Lingxin and the others squeezed to the front and quickly placed their bets.
The casino staff in charge of the betting had seen a lot of big events these past few days and didn't care about the bets placed by the group. In their hearts, they were cursing the few idiots from the Qingyun Sect for coming to give them spirit stones.
After leaving the casino, when everyone looked back, Zhong Lingxin's odds had indeed changed to 1:10, and she had broken into the top ten.
The odds for Mei Yuqing and Long Ling'er remained unchanged, still hanging at the bottom of the pack.
Long Ling'er hugged Zhong Lingxin's arm: "Master, I'm penniless, you have to support me!"
Zhong Lingxin was half a head taller than Long Ling'er. She raised her hand and stroked the top of Long Ling'er's head, just like she usually stroked Huanhuan's head: "Good girl, Master will take care of you!"
Everyone laughed.
Enraged, Long Ling'er grabbed Zhong Lingxin's arm and shook it vigorously.
As everyone was laughing and joking, their path was blocked. A shrill soprano sneered, "Oh, isn't this the Qingyun Sect? What, no one's buying your stuff, so you're buying yourselves! I heard the Qingyun Sect is so poor they can't even afford to distribute cultivation resources, yet they still come to the casino. What kind of magic treasure are they selling to save face?"
Long Ling'er angrily let go of Zhong Lingxin's hand and was about to rush forward.
Zhong Lingxin grasped her hand and laughed, "Who is this? Don't you know a good dog doesn't block the way? I'm willing to buy myself; this opportunity to make money doesn't come every day. Ling'er, do you recognize this dog blocking the way?"
Long Ling'er suppressed a laugh: "I don't know it! I wonder whose dog got off its leash and ran into the street."
The female cultivator opposite screamed in anger and raised her hand to swing her beast-taming whip, intending to strike Zhong Lingxin and Long Ling'er.
A giant hand reached out from mid-air and shattered Long Ling'er's beast-taming whip. A voice rang out over Qingling City: "Those who disrupt the order of Qingling City will be dealt with according to the city rules!"
Soon, a patrol of city guards arrived, seized the female cultivators opposite Zhong Lingxin, and without saying a word, lashed them ten times. They also warned them that if they dared to lay a hand on them again, they would be lashed a hundred times and expelled from Qingling City.
At the same time, the patrol team leader sternly reprimanded Zhong Lingxin and the others, telling them not to disrupt the order of Qingling City, or they would suffer the same fate.
This was handled very fairly.
None of the cultivators from any of the sects dared to speak when they saw it.
When the rebuking voice rang out, Zhong Lingxin recognized it as Uncle Feng Yu's voice.
She also realized that when Uncle Feng Yu shattered Nangong Yike's beast-taming whip, he struck with tremendous force.
She knew that Uncle Feng Yu was helping her. Nangong Yike's beast-taming whip was connected to her divine sense, so she was bound to get injured.
She was extremely grateful to Uncle Feng Yu, but it wasn't appropriate to see him right now. Ever since Qu Xin's incident, it seemed that Feng Yu was very unfriendly towards her. She would visit him another time when she had the chance.
After the little incident involving Nangong Yike, everyone lost their mood for shopping and quickly returned to the Qingyun Sect's residence.
Sect Leader Lu rushed over to see them, pulled Zhong Lingxin aside, and carefully instructed her to avoid appearing in Qingling City. He said that Feng Yu, the president of the Law Enforcer Association, was Qu Xin's father, and who knows how much he might hate her.
Zhong Lingxin whispered to Sect Leader Lu, "It's alright, Sect Leader Lu, don't worry about Feng Feng. Just now, he shattered Nangong Yike's Beast Taming Whip. President Feng is an upright person."
Sect Leader Lu looked at Zhong Lingxin and saw only calmness in her eyes.
He shook his head, recalling the legend that Feng Yu's Daoist partner, Yu Wuqing, was a close friend of Qingyang Venerable Saint. It seemed that there must be something he didn't know about.
However, he is happy to see things as long as they are good.
The competition for Nascent Soul stage cultivators resumed the following morning.
Zhong Lingxin stood on the arena, facing Nangong Yike.
Nangong Yike stared viciously at Zhong Lingxin, then raised her hand and released her three contracted beasts: a unicorn dragon, a red-eared ape, and a golden eagle.
Zhong Lingxin smiled faintly.
Nangong Yike didn't use Golden Eagle in the first two matches, so it seems she has a lot of contracted beasts. She used five in total over the three matches, so it seems there are still more hidden.
Nangong Yike sneered, and with a wave of her hand, another beast-taming whip appeared in her hand. She cracked the whip loudly in mid-air: "Zhong Lingxin, don't you have a divine beast? Take it out, and I'll show you what true beast taming is."
Zhong Lingxin slowly summoned Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, and sighed softly, "My great-aunt, my great-aunt died a long time ago, the grass on her grave is already three feet tall!"
Nangong Yike was used to referring to herself as "Grandma," but when she was cursed to death right away, she was so angry that she lashed out with her whip, aiming it at the face of Zhong Lingxin, whom she hated the most.
She had heard that in the first match between Nangong Yifeng and Zhong Lingxin, he was so attracted to Zhong Lingxin's face that he didn't go all out, which led to his crushing defeat.
She's not a man; she wouldn't show mercy to a vixen.
Especially a vixen who had made a contract with a nine-tailed fox.
She once longed to contract a nine-tailed fox, not only because the nine-tailed fox was a divine beast, but also because legend had it that the nine-tailed fox was a bewitching charm that could charm all men.
She wanted to charm all the men, leading them as they sat atop a host of demonic beasts, roaring freely through the mountains and forests.
