C40 Stimulus
After one day of fermentation, the news of Ma Xiaoyi inviting Tang Yi had spread across the entire Immortal Tracer Forest. On the second day, near noon, wherever there were people, they would discuss the Life and Death Stage incident in two days, and also discuss who Ma Xiaoyi and Tang Yi were.
Along with some well-informed people, Ma Xiaoyi's identity slowly revealed itself. A peak late stage Holy Heart Stage disciple of a small town with a special title of genius had already revealed himself to be at the age of eighteen, so entering the Holy Profound Stage before the age of twenty was only a matter of time.
On the other hand, Tang Yi's information was a bit less, but through some people, they still understood that he was just a piece of trash. Right now, he was almost eighteen, and his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Holy Heart Stage.
While everyone was thinking nothing of this battle, a shocking piece of news spread out. Tang Yi once defeated one of the top ten inner sect disciples, Hao Yue, and even defeated the outer sect disciple number one, Xian Qin, yesterday.
Fun people had even set up bets outside to bet on Tang Yi and Ma Xiaoyi, who would be the final victor, with a ratio of two to one. Although Tang Yi defeated Hao Yue and Xian Qin, those who didn't see it with their own eyes always felt that it wasn't very reliable, and many people didn't think highly of Tang Yi's victory.
"These people are crazy!"
Tang Yi knew what was going on outside, so he directly said: "I haven't even said I'm not going. They already started gambling, what are they gambling on?"
"I heard that if you win the bet, you will lose two gold coins!" Qiao Mann, who couldn't sit on a chair due to being injured, suddenly said: "If we can get 10,000 gold coins, then we can earn 20,000 gold coins. It's a pity, I don't have any money, or else I'll go and bet."
"One to two?"
He lifted his finger quickly, not knowing what to count, and the look in his eyes became more and more brilliant. While Lee Yingying and the others were curious about what he was doing, Tang Yi waved his hand and said, "I've decided, two days later, I'll fight with Ma Xiaoyi and get me tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"You idiot!" Before he could finish his words, Lee Yingying patted his head, "If you want money, you'd rather die. It's only a few tens of thousands of gold coins and you have to go to a life and death battle with Ma Xiaoyi. Don't forget that whether you fight against Hao Yue or Xian Qin, you got lucky.
"I'm telling you, I forbid you to go!"
"Hey, don't go too far!" Tang Yi didn't get used to Lee Yingying this time, so he blocked her hand and said: "Give me the slave contract, I don't know when I'll be able to get my freedom. Now that I have some savings, when I'm really free, I'll be in my seventies or eighties. What should I do then?"
"Brother Tang Yii, you're so greedy!" Qiao Rou blinked her eyes with an expression of disbelief.
"That's right. You just can't understand how hot I am with money!" Tang Yi nodded with certainty. Seeing that Lee Yingying's expression was getting more and more unsightly, he said in a weak tone, "Lady, please let me go. If I win, how about I use ten thousand gold coins to buy you a small spirit beast as a pet?"
Although Tang Yi appeared to be greedy for money, he had another way of thinking. If warriors did not advance on the road, they would retreat, and if he was standing at the peak, of course he would not need to deal with any matters regarding the competition, he was only a practitioner of Holy Heart Stage right now. If they retreated because of the opponent, how could he improve?
"No, I won't allow you to go!"
However, Lee Yingying remained unmoved. She stood up and walked outside, using determination to respond to Tang Yi!
Tang Yi opened his mouth wanting to say something more, but it was useless for Lee Yingying to say anything more. He helplessly lowered his head. He did not feel angry, only helpless. Did Lee Yingying care about him too much?
Qiao Rou could tell that Tang Yi was not in a good mood, so she comforted him, "Brother Tang Yii, if you don't want to go, then don't. Sister Yingying must be concerned about you. Although the money is good, but there's only one way to live."
"I..." In the end, not only could he not go, but he was also misunderstood by Qiao Rou that he was greedy. Tang Yi really lost his temper and was no longer in the mood to explain himself.
"Xiao Ke, are you sure?"
In a cave near the elder's residence in the outer sect mountain range, Ma Xiaoyi looked at her sister with a strange expression. She had just brought news that Tang Yi had once defeated Hao Yue and Xian Qin.
"Basically." Ma Xiaoke nodded and told him what she had just heard, "It's said that Tang Yi accidentally barged into the inner court elder Jia Shisan's courtyard and plucked his Message Spirit Beast. Afterwards, Hao Yue found him and started a fight, but in the end, Hao Yue was defeated."
"And Xian Qin was defeated on the day of your declaration of war. It is said that he injured a friend of Tang Yi!"
Perhaps Ma Xiaoyi didn't care about what others said, but now that they were talking about her sister, Ma Xiaoyi became more serious by two points. Although she kept telling herself in her heart that she was lucky when Tang Yi defeated her, hearing that Tang Yi defeated Hao Yue and Xian Qin who were stronger than her, she felt that her confidence was lacking.
Wu Tie stood at the side with a slightly unnatural expression. He hoped that Ma Xiaoyi and Tang Yi would ascend to the Life and Death Arena. However, it was inconvenient for him to speak up at this moment.
"What? Does Young Master Ma want to beat a retreat?"
Just as Ma Xiaoyi was in a dilemma, the silhouette of a woman came from the entrance of the cave. The woman looked over and frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Niu Qing was not the least bit displeased by Ma Xiaoyi's unkind attitude. She, Ma Xiaoyi, and the dead Qi Ye were known as the geniuses among the younger generation of Countercurrent Town, and everyone had a different attitude to begin with: "Hearing that you want to fight to the death with Rubbish Tang, I naturally want to come over to watch, so I don't have to see you again in the future."
"You have to know that I bet 1000 gold coins on Tang Yi. I'm going to collect the money when you die!"
"Niu Qing, watch your words!" Ma Xiaoke said those words the moment she saw Niu Qing. She had always been unhappy with this woman who was better than herself, so she immediately jumped out, "I'll tell you, if my brother really goes to fight, he can definitely beat Tang Yi. Moreover, it won't be a problem to kill him."
"Just wait for your 1000 gold coins to be wasted!"
"Hmph, you will definitely be defeated, completely killed. I wonder who was the one that was beaten by Rubbish Tang twice?" Niu Qing maintained her arrogant attitude from the beginning to the end. She glanced at Ma Xiaoke with an indifferent gaze. She knew that Ma Xiaoke had a lot of opinions against her. After all, they were all young mistresses from aristocratic families, but her aura was much brighter.
"Yeah, who doesn't know how to boast?" Yuen Shanshan, who was always following beside Niu Qing, also added, "Young Master Ma, I bet five hundred gold coins on Rubbish Tang. When the time comes, you have to take it easy, don't let me lose these five hundred gold coins!"
"Otherwise, I will hate you!"
"Scram!" Currently, her heart was already in a mess from the news that Ma Xiaoke had brought back. Niu Qing and Yuen Shanshan even came together to attack her, but Ma Xiaoyi still forcefully endured the fact that Niu Qing's strength was about the same as hers and that Yuen Shanshan of the same cultivation level was beside her.
"It seems like Young Master Ma doesn't welcome us!" Niu Qing giggled and pulled Yuen Shanshan's hand as they walked outside, "Shan Shan, you don't welcome us here. Young Master Ma is not a merciful person and saves some money for us, so we'll go find Rubbish Tang and ask him to work hard and help us earn some money!"
"I've decided that no matter what it is, I will ascend the life and death arena!"
Looking at the two women walking away, Ma Xiaoyi, who was still hesitating in her heart, punched on the wall. With a determined look, she said with killing intent, "No one can look down on me. Anyone who looks down on me will have to pay the price!"
