Chapter 1266: Baller Palace Lord
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bets below were too loud, so the spectators naturally heard them.
The Palace Lord curled her lips. “Ling Yin, bet 5,000 taels of silver on the successor of the Jin family!”
Ling Yin whispered, “Palace Lord, are you sure? If you lose…”
The Palace Lord said, “The Hundred Flowers Palace has plenty of money. We can afford it!”
The Assassin Alliance did not bet on this round.
It was not that they did not have money, but in their opinion, there was no need to bet on such a disparity in strength. There was no suspense at all.
Xiahou Qing did not bet. He was the dealer.
“Who did Jin’er bet on?” he asked his adopted son, Xie Jinnian.
Xie Jinnian said warmly, “The descendant of the Jin family.”
“Oh?” Xiahou Qing was a little surprised. “Why her?”
Xie Jinnian said, “Her medical skills are not bad.”
Xiahou Qing said, “It’s not about medical skills in the arena.”
Xie Jinnian smiled without saying anything.
Xiahou Qing glanced at him and said, “You’re more willful than your brothers.”
Second Brother was the gentlest of the brothers. He was obedient and got along well with others.
His uniqueness would only be revealed inadvertently.
Like now.
Saintess Red Lotus clearly had victory in hand, but he insisted on betting on the successor of the Jin family to win.
Ji Minglou and Madam Ji also placed a bet.
Madam Ji bet 1,000 taels of Red Lotus Saintess.
When she saw Ji Minglou bet 1,000 taels of silver on the descendant of the Jin family, her face turned green.
He knew that he would lose, but he still bet!
A thousand taels was a small sum for Heavenly Jade Hall, but she just couldn’t stand Ji Minglou’s unwillingness to give up on Yun Shuang.
Chu Feifeng sat beside Madam Ji and poured her a cup of cold tea.
She was actually a little worried about her sister-in-law.
She had been on the island longer than her sister-in-law and had seen Saintess Red Lotus sparring with the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Hall. Saintess Red Lotus was indeed a rare martial arts genius among her peers.
At the observatory next door, the Palace Lord asked Ling Yin to invite Granny Nie over.
The few of them greeted Granny Nie.
Granny Nie sat down.
Lu Aotian said, “Granny Ghost, I saw that you placed a bet just now. How much did you bet?”
Granny Nie asked, “How much did you bet?”
Lu Aotian waved his hand. “I don’t have money, so I bet 500 taels.”
Ling Yin asked curiously, “But when I went to bet for my Palace Lord just now, I saw that there was 250 taels behind your name. Who did you bet on with the other 250 taels?”
Lu Aotian cleared his throat. “Ahem, I bet on Saintess Red Lotus.”
Ling Yin was speechless.
Ling Yin glared at Lu Aotian in disdain.
Xing’er ignored him and took back the jelly beans she had fried for him.
“Hey!”
Lu Aotian went to snatch the jelly beans but missed.
“Granny, how much did you bet?” Ling Yin asked.
Granny Nie said calmly, “Not much, 2,000 taels.”
Ling Yin finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Including the bet by the Palace Lord, Second Young Madam has more than 7,000 taels…”
Granny Nie said, “I bet on Saintess Red Lotus.”
Ling Yin was speechless.
And so was everyone else.
Su Xiaoxiao knew nothing about everyone betting.
Saintess Red Lotus’s posture on the stage just now was handsome and valiant. It was obvious that she had top-notch qinggong.
She would not snatch the limelight from her.
One who knew how to race would not compare her shortcomings to the other party’s strengths.
Su Xiaoxiao put on her veil and walked up the stage from the steps at the back.
This action attracted a commotion around.
“This so-called descendant of the Jin family doesn’t even know qinggong!”
“You even learned to wear a veil like Saintess Red Lotus. Are you so ugly that you can’t see anyone?”
“Nonsense, Saintess Red Lotus is clearly as beautiful as a fairy!”
