C9 Open one

When a group of people gathered together, it was very lively. Anything could happen at any time.

"Bro, why don't we take a gamble?"

It was unknown who shouted.

"Betting on what?"

Someone immediately asked.

"A bet, of course it's a bet on who wins!"

The person who suggested this gave a straightforward answer.

"Haha ?"

Everyone began to laugh, because they knew that this was just an unsuspenseful smurf.

However, after the laughter ended, the atmosphere turned cold.

No one wanted to follow up on his words. No one wanted to be the manor.

Normally, the odds were set based on the odds that the bet would be won or lost.

In the gambling house, the dealer should be one of those people who had a win-win situation.

No matter which side won, he would use the money from the other side to compensate. The rest would be his personal income.

Right now, no matter how many odds they offered, no one dared to do so.

Everyone was thinking, "No matter who wants to become the manor, I will put my entire fortune into it."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Shi Chou knew that if he did not step in, no one would.

Shi Chou thought: "A bunch of cowards. They're so scared with just a little money."

It seemed that only he would have the courage to do so in such a situation.

"Alright, since everyone is unwilling to do this, then I must do something for my brother when he fights on stage."

"Now, let me open a match for everyone. It doesn't matter if you bet more or less, as long as you're happy."

"We bet 1: 99 on Shi Hao and 101: 1 on my brother. What do you think?"

Amongst this group of people, Shi Chou was indeed the richest.

"Good, you truly are Shi Xun's brother. Lending me your treasured land, I will bet on your brother's victory."

The first one to bet on Shi Xun winning was a fatty called the Stone Toad.

He rummaged through his entire body and found ten taels of silver.

He had originally planned to borrow some from the people next to him, but it was obvious that he had underestimated the intelligence of others.

"Brother Shi Chou, quickly write it down, it's my 10 taels."

For a child who wasn't part of the main family like the Stone Toad, having 10 taels of silver was considered not bad.

Hearing the toad's words, Shi Chou gave it a disdainful look.

"You're so nervous, it's only 10 silver coins in the future. I can't possibly eat your food. Besides, I can still afford to pay you this little amount of money."

Shi Chou did not show any mercy at all when he spoke.

"Of course, of course. I naturally believe in Big Brother Shi Chou."

The Stone Toad quickly followed Shi Chou's words.

However, the person standing behind the toad was about to flare up.

"Rock Toad, don't embarrass yourself again. Once you're done, hurry up and scram to the side."

The person who spoke was a skinny young man.

His name was Shi Mou, the eldest son of Shi Dingdi.

This person had an explosive temper. Anyone who didn't like him would be chased away.

Shi Mou looked at the Rock Toad that was unwilling to part with the 10 taels of silver, staring at it with its spicy eyes.

As he spoke, he pushed the stone toad to the side.

"Sorry, sorry, Brother Shi Mou, I'm leaving now."

When the Stone Toad heard Shi Mou's voice, it was so scared that it quickly and consciously moved to the side.

"Brother Shi Chou, is it okay to bet as much as you want?"

Shi Mou asked.

As the eldest son of the Third Master, Shi Mou was slightly older than Shi Chou.

"Of course, if you dare to bet, I will compensate you!"

Shi Chou was extremely magnanimous.

"Since that's the case, I'll first bet a thousand taels."

"Can I tell little brother to go back and get more?"

Seeing such a profitable business, Shi Mou of course wanted to make as much money as possible.

"Forget about going home. Otherwise, if you move all of San Ye's family over, how would I compensate you?"

Shi Chou was actually not stupid, the reason for the beginning was just for a moment of face.

He was still a little afraid of the punch he received from Shi Hao back then.

Since Shi Xun was now willing to compete on equal footing with Shi Hao, it would be good if he could scout out a path for himself.

Moreover, based on the current situation, everyone believed that Shi Xun could win.

He might have to make a huge profit this time.

However, the risk was huge. If it was too big, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Everyone, let's just all suppress our bodies and treat it as a game. Let's just forget about getting the money when we go home!"

Shi Chou shouted to everyone.

"Alright, I have fifty taels!"

"I bet two hundred Shi Xun s on it!"

"Brother Shi Xun, I believe you, I will bet five hundred gold."

In an instant, Shi Xun was the one being suppressed.

In front of Shi Chou's table, one side was filled with silver, while the other side was empty.

Seeing the situation, Shi Xun laughed.

"Haha ?" Did you see that? "

Shi Xun smiled at Shi Chou.

"Second Brother, you're going to suffer a huge loss today. How are you going to compensate me for so much? Do you want me to help you out?"

Shi Xun turned and asked Shi Chou.

"Big brother, don't worry. I can afford it."

Shi Chou was not afraid either.

"Shi Hao, how do you feel? Do you want me to give you a hand?"

Shi Xun began to increase his self-confidence.

However, it was true that he had the strength. In this martial field, no one was his match.

"No need!"

Shi Hao did not give him any face.

"Then this time, I'll go and bet as well. I'll bet one tael on your victory."

Shi Xun said to Shi Hao in a mocking tone.

But Shi Hao still maintained a calm face, quietly stood on the stage, and waited for the competition to begin.

Seeing that, Shi Xun took out a few taels of silver and threw it at Shi Chou.

"Okay, I will remember. I will bet a tael, Shi Hao wins."

After Shi Xun finished speaking, the stage was once again filled with laughter.

At this moment, a little boy appeared from the crowd.

His name was Shi Xiaobai, Shi Mou's younger brother.

He was about eight or nine years old and still had some traces of childishness in him.

"Big brother Shi Chou, can I bet?"

He walked over to Shi Chou's table and asked.

"Of course you can, but I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Shi Chou was very polite to him.

"En!"

Shi Xiaobai said and started flipping his body.

He randomly found six taels of silver and held it in his hand. He looked at the table and hesitated.

"Little brother, if you want to win, then bet with everyone."

Shi Chou urged.

"But, but I want to win more."

Shi Xiaobai's attention was uncertain.

"Then bet on me. Later, I'll let you win by ten times."

Shi Hao saw the situation, and spoke to his little brother sincerely.

"Alright, I'll bet on you. You have to do your best, this is all I have."

Shi Xiaobai finally put the six silver on the other side.

"Little brother, don't bet on that side. We will lose."

"Little brother, bet with us. Only then will you win."

Everyone present at the scene were sweating profusely as they hurried to persuade Shi Xiaobai. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

From this moment onwards, Shi Hao would have his only spectator.

Shi Hao looked at this situation and his heart was filled with anxiety.

Originally, he had wanted to bet on it himself, but he was too embarrassed to do so.

However, as he thought about it, there was a method that he could try.

"Shi Chou, I plan to use this information to win against myself, what do you think?"

Shi Hao asked tentatively, he believed that Shi Chou would definitely not reject.

"Any kind of news? As long as it's something I want to know?"

Shi Chou thought that it would not be bad if he could get his hands on that secret so easily.

"Anything is fine, you give me an estimate."

Shi Hao replied with certainty.

"Alright, how about this. I'll give you a hundred silver for each piece of news."

Shi Chou knew that Shi Hao definitely lacked money, so the other party had to agree to it.

"A hundred liang, then. Although it's a bit less, it's fine."

Shi Hao had been planning to fight for nothing, so how could he have any news?

Seeing that everyone had finished discussing, Shi Xun looked at everyone.

"Uncle Zhong, please bear witness for us. In a match on the stage, fists and legs have no eyes. It is possible for him to be injured or crippled."

Shi Xun planned to attack ruthlessly. Usually, a little bullying was a small matter, but he could not overdo it.

Now that he was on the arena, he stared at them for dozens of years.

As long as he didn't break the rules, no one could do anything to him.

Seeing that, Shi Hao understood Shi Xun's plan, and thought about how to deal with it.

Although Uncle Zhong was an outsider, but the family head, second master, and third master had all learned martial arts from him, so there was still a certain position in the Shi family.

Although he was used to the various disputes within his family, he still couldn't bear to see such a situation unfold.

"Since you are competing in kung fu, I shall be the witness."

"But, everyone just wants to compare who's stronger and who's better. Just point it out and it won't hurt our friendship."

Zhong Qiang could only advise him otherwise. There was no point in saying too much.

To the two on the stage, there was no longer any need to be friendly.

Not only the two people on stage, even the people below the stage all felt that Zhong Qiang was just saying those words.

Now that he was a witness, he had to do what he had to do.

Zhong Qiang stood at the side of the fighting arena and glanced at Shi Xun and Shi Hao.

"Is everyone ready?"

Seeing that both sides intended to start a fight, Zhong Qiang asked.

"I'm ready!"

"It's done!"

The two of them replied without hesitation.

"Three... Two... One... "Begin!"

At the same time Zhong Qiang shouted "begin", he held both hands together and raised them above his head, taking the opportunity to press down.

Seeing Zhong Qiang's hand gesture, the two of them immediately went into battle mode.

At this moment, the battle was completely different from before. Both sides had entered a state of extreme focus.

Shi Hao was actually very clear that since Shi Xun was the strongest within this group, there must be something special about him.

Shi Xun's original plan was to only humiliate them, he never thought that Shi Hao would agree.

If Shi Hao was not an idiot, he must have a life saving technique.

Since he'd gone up on stage, who could say for sure what was going on in the arena?

Therefore, Shi Xun's current plan was either to not fight or to kill him with one punch. He could not go back on his words.

As a result, both sides stared at each other. No one planned to make the first move.

The people below the stage were all dumbfounded.

What's wrong with this Shi Xun today? Could it be that he felt pity for him and did not plan to teach him a lesson?

"Why don't you do it? Is it interesting to keep staring like this?"

Within the crowd, someone said something, and the others started to discuss as well.

Normally, no one would dare talk about Shi Xun.

"I guess, Shi Xun must have seen that we were all betting on him, so he didn't plan on winning anymore."

"You mean, he's going to fake it? You want us to lose? "

"Holy shit, no way!" So shameless? "

After all, Shi Chou is his own little brother. If he wins, Shi Chou will lose!

Seeing that, some people started to curse Shi Xun for being shameless.

When Shi Xiaobai heard their conversation, his heart moved. Was he going to win?
