Chapter 1113 Love Turns to Hate
In the lobby of the Cai family, Cai Fanghai, the head of the Cai family, looked grim.
It was no wonder that the always cunning Cai Fanghai was so depressed. It was because of the changes that the Cai family had encountered in recent days that even he was a little unprepared.
Challenging the Xiao family was a test by Cai Fanghai.
He did not expect that the Xiao family actually agreed!
But what happened next made Cai Fanghai overwhelmed.
First, the only son Cai Luojing was severely injured by Xiao Mian. Although his life was not in danger, he would definitely not be able to fight with others in a short period of time.
Then two guest officials died in the Xiao family, and the only survivor Zhai Chong took the initiative to leave the Cai family and stay away from Tiandu City.
Then, Hua Mancheng, who was worshipped by Cai Fanghai, also fled upon hearing the news.
Finally, the head of the Chen family, who had always been in harmony with the Cai family, also sent a message to say that the cooperation with the Chen family would be discussed after the family challenge.
What's even more ridiculous is that Tongbao Pavilion is looking for trouble and opened a handicap!
Opening a handicap is fine, but they even set the odds of his Cai family as high as those of the Xiao family. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Cai family?
Could it be that these people think that the Cai family will lose! ?
Humph!
Although he was quite disdainful in his heart, Cai Fanghai was still a little anxious.
Now, he is the only quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator in the Cai family.
If he can't find a suitable guest to join the Cai family in a short period of time, he, the head of the family, may have to go on stage to compete with the young men of the Xiao family.
Others are fine, only Xiao Nantian...
Damn it!
Cai Fanghai was certainly in a state of panic, but Chen Shide was also cautious.
In a secret room of the Chen family, Chen Shide stood beside a girl.
"Stupid! Stupid beyond belief!" The girl's tone was calm and beautiful, without any worldly air, but her words were extremely sharp: "Just because of Xiao Nantian's nonsense, you ran to the Cai family and arbitrarily put aside the cooperation with the Cai family?"
"I... I also saw that the Xiao family was strong..."
"Strong? Humph! How strong can a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator be? If he can kill a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator, can he also kill the Nascent Soul ancestor?"
"But I heard that the ancestor of the Xiao family..."
"Who did you hear that from? It's Xiao Nantian again? One-sided words are not trustworthy. ? Xiao Nantian? Damn it! Why did he come back at such a critical moment? He is much harder to deal with than that idiot Xiao Nanming..." The girl's eyes turned darkly, her words were clear and sharp, and she murmured to herself: "I originally thought: as long as Xiao Nanming took the position of the head of the Xiao family, I would be able to trick him out of the Xiao family's secret treasure with a little trick! Now it seems that good things will take time..."
"Ling'er! What should we do next?"
It turned out that this girl was the one Xiao Nanming was obsessed with - Chen Yuling!
Looking back at Chen Shide, Chen Yuling smiled faintly.
"Father just said: Tongbao Pavilion opened a handicap for the challenge between the Cai and Xiao families, and the initial odds were 1:2?"
"Yes! I don't know what Tongbao Pavilion thinks..."
"I wonder what the odds are for the two families now?"
"It seems that they are still evenly matched!"
"Interesting! It seems that many people in Tiandu City don't want the Cai family to win! Humph! Father! Go to the Cai family again and just tell them so!"
"This... Ling'er, are you sure you want to do this? In this way, won't you and Xiao Nanming break up completely?"
"Xiao Nantian is back, what's the use of Xiao Nanming?"
"..., I understand!"
Nodding, Chen Shide walked out of the secret room.
In the huge secret room, only Chen Yuling was left, thinking.
No matter how everyone planned, time waits for no one.
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the end of the year is approaching.
In Yinhu City, on the White Tiger Altar!
The challenge between the Xiao and Cai families was held as scheduled on this day.
On the Xiao family side, there were only four people: Xiao Nantian, Xiao Qingxia, Xiao Nanming and Xiao Bailu.
On the Cai family side, there were many people.
Cai Fanghai, the head of the Cai family, led the way, followed by many guests who either belonged to the Cai family or were hired by the Cai family with a lot of money. There were at least 20 to 30 people, all of whom were Jindan cultivators, and three of them were at the top level of Jindan.
The cost of these foreign aids alone was very expensive.
With this lineup against the three people of the Xiao family, even if Xiao Nantian could win one game by chance, the other two games would definitely be in the pocket of the Cai family.
Until this time, many spectators and gamblers regretted betting on the Xiao family.
Some of them were even impatient and turned around and ran to Tongbao Pavilion, intending to make up for the Cai family.
When these people arrived at Tongbao Pavilion, the odds had been closed.
What made them even more frustrated was that before the odds were closed, someone took action and swept the odds.
The odds of the two sides, which had been deadlocked, changed dramatically in the blink of an eye when everyone arrived at the White Tiger Altar. The odds of the Xiao family winning soared to 1:10, and accordingly, the odds of the Cai family winning naturally plummeted.
Although in this way, if the Xiao family really wins, those cultivators who bet on the Xiao family to win will get a greater reward.
However, the sharp increase in odds also indicates that the probability of the Xiao family winning has plummeted!
No matter how the Tongbao Pavilion changes, the White Tiger Altar will follow the routine.
The Cai family and the Xiao family have reached this point today, so naturally there is no mercy.
Therefore, the two sides started the fight neatly.
In the first round, the new head of the Xiao family, the eldest son Xiao Nantian, stood on the stage with a bit of impatience.
Looking at Xiao Nantian standing proudly on the stage, Cai Fanghai looked gloomy.
Although the Cai family had no shortage of Jindan cultivators, there was no quasi-Yuanying cultivator except for him, Cai Fanghai, the head of the Cai family.
Even if Cai Fanghai went up, it was not certain whether he would survive.
Could it be that he would lose to the Xiao family in the first round?
But at this moment, a figure in white appeared beside Cai Fanghai.
"Head of the Cai family! A few days ago, Hua had something important to do and left without saying goodbye. I hope you can forgive me!" It was Hua Mancheng, wearing a flashy white dress, bowing to Cai Fanghai to apologize. Cai Fanghai was stunned, then happy, and then grabbed Hua Mancheng's sleeve, smiling: "I knew it: Mr. Hua is definitely not a dishonest person!"
"Okay! Okay! I take money from people and help them get rid of disasters. I still have some morality!" Nodding, Hua Mancheng changed the subject: "But I heard that a few days ago, Xiao Nantian killed two quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators in one fell swoop. This kind of tyrannical opponent is quite different from what the Cai family master said before!"
"This... I didn't expect that Xiao Nantian is so strong! But Mr. Hua, don't worry! I know what to do!" Taking a step forward, Cai Fanghai gritted his teeth and took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Hua Mancheng's sleeve. Hua Mancheng suddenly straightened up and laughed: "Let me, Hua Mancheng, go back and forth with Xiao Nantian!"
At that moment, Xiao Mian and Hua Mancheng fought together.
Although the two people in the duel knew the result, the spectators didn't know!
Even Cai Fanghai, who was killed temporarily, didn't know!
The duel on the White Tiger Altar was so fierce that no one suspected that Hua Mancheng was a stooge invited by Xiao Mian under coercion and inducement.
At this time, Hua Mancheng not only offered a six-foot peony scroll, but also flew out a large number of black and white exquisite chess pieces.
After that, Hua Mancheng pulled out the hairpin that tied her hair.
As her black hair fluttered, the hairpin turned into a guqin.
The white jade-like fingers slid down the seven strings of the guqin one by one, and a sound wave rushed towards Xiao Mian on the opposite side of the White Tiger Altar like a sharp sword.
The guqin is called Qiqi, and Xiao Mian was shocked by the blow.
Good Hua Mancheng!
Waiting for me here!
You kid think I'm easy to bully if I don't use my signature skills?
Humph!
With a cold snort, Xiao Mian wandered in the narrow space formed by the six-foot peony and the black and white exquisite chess pieces, while his spiritual consciousness was fully displayed.
Suddenly, waves of Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword rushed out of his body.
Hua Mancheng's Qiqi Guqin was originally customized to match his Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword. The sound waves emitted from each string were like a Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword.
The two sides came and went, seemingly careless.
In fact, the entire White Tiger Altar was covered with invisible Seven Emotions Heart Demon Swords.
Ordinary cultivators had no way of noticing this. Only cultivators with extremely sharp spiritual perception or cultivators who had already condensed their spiritual consciousness could experience the dangers of the White Tiger Altar.
A little carelessness can lead to eternal damnation!
In the end, Xiao Mian was superior in skill.
Relying on his spiritual consciousness, which was much stronger than Hua Mancheng's, and superimposed with the heaven-defying amplification of the Imperial God Mirror, Xiao Mian forced Hua Mancheng to defeat!
In the first game, the Xiao family won!
Cai Fanghai's face was not very good, and Hua Mancheng's face was also very ugly.
He always thought that if Xiao Mian could defeat him, it would not be so easy if he had to hide his true identity.
Who would have thought: Xiao Mian used his secret skills of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace to defeat him, who was an outstanding disciple of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace!
This matter, if it is told out, it is too embarrassing!
In the second round, the Xiao family sent Xiao Bailu.
On the Cai family side, Cai Fanghai's expression was uncertain for a while, and he resolutely gave up his old face and went on stage in person to fight against Xiao Bailu.
This time, everyone was shocked...
Xiao Bailu, but just formed a pill, and has been practicing Taoism for only 30 years.
Cai Fanghai, a dignified quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator, has been practicing Taoism for more than 400 years.
This is really - people are shameless and invincible in the world!
Everyone was talking among themselves, but Xiao Mian couldn't sit still.
"Wait a minute! Master Cai, are you really willing to lower yourself and fight with my little sister?"
"I am also a disciple of the Cai family, why can't I go on stage?"
"That's not what Nantian meant! But since Master Cai is so embarrassed to stand on the stage, Nantian has nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"What did you say?"
"Admit defeat! In the second round, my Xiao family will take the initiative to admit defeat!"
When Xiao Mian said this, Cai Fanghai stood there in a daze, and even the other spectators were stunned - defeated without a fight!
But on second thought, it would be better to admit defeat than to let Xiao Bailu and Cai Fanghai fight!
Only Cai Fanghai was annoyed.
Although the Cai family lost the first game, in the second game against Xiao Bailu, the Cai family could easily win with a top-level Jindan cultivator.
Why should he risk the notoriety of bullying the weak and go on stage?
No matter what, now that both sides have won one and lost one, it all depends on the third game!
In the third game, Xiao Nanming represented the Xiao family.
Although Xiao Nanming is only at the middle level of Jindan, while Xiao Qingxia is at least at the high level of Jindan, it is naturally safer for the latter to fight.
But if he faces the top Jindan cultivators of the Cai family, even Xiao Qingxia, who is at the high level of Jindan, will lose.
In this case, it doesn't matter who is sent to fight.
However, the one who came on the stage of the Cai family was not the top Jindan cultivators, but a young girl with a veil.
Xiao Nanming and the girl met on the stage.
When their eyes met, Xiao Nanming trembled all over.
Just when others were confused, the breeze blew on his face, and the veil on the girl's face was blown away by the wind, revealing a breathtaking and beautiful face.
Looking at the girl's face, Xiao Nanming was full of disbelief.
Even Xiao Bailu, who was in the audience, couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the girl's appearance, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Although Xiao Bailu's exclamation was barely audible, Xiao Mian was right beside her, how could he not hear it?
Xiao Bailu was clearly calling out - Sister Yuling!
Chen Yuling!
Miss Chen, who was mentioned many times and said to be Xiao Nanming's childhood sweetheart, stood on the White Tiger Altar, opposite Xiao Nanming.
Xiao Mian raised his lips.
This is good!
It saves trouble!
But in this way, the Seven Emotions Heart Demon Sword that he had planted in Xiao Nanming's body seemed a bit redundant...
