Elder Dai of the Botong Martial Arts School, as mentioned by the above-mentioned nobles, was once a master on the third floor of the Dengxian Pavilion and an experienced veteran in the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena.
Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he also knows how to make good use of terrain to earn points from his opponents.
Therefore, most of the regular guests at the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena unanimously believed that Lao Dai would win.
However, when Zhou Xingyun learned everyone's opinions on today's group competition, he was so happy that his mouth burst into tears.
1.5 to 0.8! The opening odds of Xiao Suyao and Lao Dai are actually 1.5 to 0.8!
How could Zhou Xingyun not burst into laughter when he saw this?
The spectators who followed Zhou Xingyun's footsteps and came to Tianshu Peak from Kaiyang Martial Arena saw Wei Suyao's odds and were very hesitant in their hearts.
We are not fools. Just look at the odds and you will know that Wei Suyao, the 'weather vane' of the martial arts arena, is very unfavorable.
What's more, the man who just said, "I simply admire her" acted very honestly when he placed the bet. A large silver ingot weighing fifty taels directly beat Lao Dai to win.
Although he admired Wei Suyao very much, no one would have trouble with money. He felt that Lao Dai could win, so of course he would spend a lot of money to buy Lao Dai to win.
After all, they all felt that this game was very profitable. Lao Dai actually had odds of 0.8, which was incredible to them...
From their point of view, under normal circumstances, when Wei Suyao and Lao Dai fight, Lao Dai's odds should be 0.5, or even lower...
Perhaps it was because Wei Suyao performed very well yesterday and she was a newcomer with twenty consecutive wins, so the organizer increased the odds for Lao Dai.
The crowd all discovered that Chang Lianke at the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena was not optimistic about Wei Suyao. Everyone placed big bets on Lao Dai to win, which made things difficult for everyone.
After all, Zhou Xingyun has been encouraging everyone to bet on Wei Suyao's victory all the time.
Confused, hesitant, confused, for a while, many people didn't know what to do. Should they believe Zhou Xingyun?
However, just when everyone was at a loss, a guy who was more honest than the previous guy appeared.
Qin Shou took out his pants and pocket, turned himself upside down, and finally put all his savings on the gambling table: "I bet Wei Suyao...all of it!"
Qin Shou didn't have much money with him. He only had a few taels of silver in his pocket, which was incomparable to the fifty taels of silver ingots owned by the man opposite him.
However, Qin Shou, who had the courage to gamble heavily and lose all his money on Wei Suyao, was more courageous than the man who bet fifty taels of silver.
It was not a question of more money or less, but Qin Shou's fear of missing out on the opportunity to be reincarnated, which ignited the masses' confidence in Wei Suyao.
So, everyone thought in their hearts that the copper coins they won in the morning were all thanks to Zhou Xingyun. Let's bet now. If you win, you will make money, and if you lose, you will not lose.
It is true that there are some people who are sincerely optimistic about Wei Suyao and increase their efforts to buy her to win. On the contrary, there are also those who beat Dai Dai to win!
In short, before the competition between Wei Suyao and Lao Dai started, the handicap was in full swing, and everyone participated very enthusiastically.
"What day is it today and why are there so many people here?"
A voice came from behind, and the young masters and eldest ladies who were waiting for the arena competition to start all turned their heads to look at the incoming person.
"Master Sui is here? I have a seat here, come and sit."
"Let me tell you, someone played a 40-game winning streak in Kaiyang Wudou District this morning. As a result, it attracted people from small villages and towns on the outskirts of Wuwei City."
Someone briefly told the situation in Kaiyang Martial Arts District. They won some coins in Kaiyang District, and now they came to Tianshu Peak to join in the fun.
It costs ten cents to enter Tianshu Peak to watch the arena match. Usually no one wants to come, but now it's like being treated to a treat, so they naturally come to watch.
After all, Zhou Xingyun will continue to compete in the ring in the afternoon. They can just follow Zhou Xingyun and continue to make a small amount of money in the afternoon.
"Stop talking about this, Mr. Sui, are you also here to see the beauties of foreign races?"
"That's right. Didn't you tell me yesterday at the restaurant that there was a very powerful newcomer coming to the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena? You recommended him so highly, of course I wanted to come and take a look."
"What a pity. She was unlucky and met the gatekeeper in the first battle at Tianshu Peak."
"Is your opponent Lao Dai? That's true..." Mr. Sui suddenly became speechless in the middle of his words.
Young Master Sui wanted to say, 'It's really unlucky,' but after he saw the woman beside the ring clearly, he immediately asked, "Who will you place your bets on to win?"
"Of course it's Lao Dai! It's clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak in this arena today."
"Uh...well...you are right, it is indeed clear at a glance." Mr. Sui looked at Wei Suyao and the silly boy standing next to her, and felt a cool breeze on the back of his head.
However, just when Mr. Sui was about to say something, another voice came from behind them: "It's rare to see Mr. Sui come to the martial arts arena to watch the game alone. Isn't the prince with you?"
The beautiful woman holding a sandalwood fan walked leisurely in front of Mr. Sui.
"Dignified guests have come to the Nanwang Mansion, and the Crown Prince is busy socializing, so I am the only one here to see the new martial artist who won twenty consecutive victories yesterday."
"Have Master Sui seen her? What do you think of her strength?"
"Well... this... I can't comment." Mr. Sui said vaguely.
Who is Young Master Sui in everyone's mouth? He is none other than Sui Teng, the follower of the Crown Prince of the Nan Palace. This guy once offended Zhou Xingyun for not having eyesight, but Princess Yongming came forward in person, blamed him for the following offense, and gave Sui Teng fifty royal sticks.
The moment Sui Teng saw Zhou Xingyun, there was a cold wind on the back of his head, and there was a dull pain in his butt and buttocks.
Since Sui Teng didn't know why Zhou Xingyun, a dignified king of the North, and Wei Suyao, a dignified first-class lady, came to watch the tower martial arts arena to fight in the ring, so... he didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that their identities would be exposed and Zhou Xingyun would be in trouble.
trouble.
The Crown Prince of the Nanwang Palace had some conflicts with Zhou Xingyun in the past. Of course Sui Teng was loyal to protect the Lord and clamored for Han Dongchen. Now...
Han Dongchen narrowly escaped death and Zhou Xingyun was kind to him. Of course Sui Teng would not and did not dare to continue to be hostile to Zhou Xingyun.
The fifty imperial sticks he received at the beginning was a lesson learned. In short, Zhou Xingyun was someone he could not afford to offend. Therefore, Sui Teng had to be careful not to interfere with Zhou Xingyun's parade in disguise.
"Oh... Mr. Sui, do you want to place a bet? This handicap should be pretty good for you." The beautiful woman induced Sui Teng to place a bet.
The beautiful woman is the top person in charge of the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena. She has not only been paying attention to Zhou Xingyun, but also paid great attention to the young men and ladies in front of her.
After all, Sui Shao and others are frequent visitors to the Wanglou martial arts arena, and they like to watch martial arts and bet on the outcome.
The beautiful woman planned to use the match between Wei Suyao and Lao Dai to get a small sum of money from them, but... Sui Teng's previous reaction aroused the beautiful woman's interest.
Sui Teng seemed to know Wei Suyao. The moment he saw her, his face twitched involuntarily and turned into a very interesting expression.
So the beautiful woman came out to say hello to him and even persuaded him to place a bet and play.
If Sui Teng bets on Wei Suyao and wins, it will just verify the beautiful woman's idea. He really knows Wei Suyao.
If Sui Teng bets on Lao Dai and wins, then the beautiful woman will make a fortune and will definitely not lose.
Therefore, no matter how Sui Teng chooses, she will be the one who makes the money.
"No, I tripped over the threshold when I went out today. I feel like my gambling luck is not good." Sui Teng casually found an excuse to dodge.
"Then I'll do it next time." The beautiful woman patted her sandalwood fan and smiled softly. Sui Teng actually didn't place a bet. This uncharacteristic behavior showed that there was something wrong in his heart.
The beautiful woman gained something, joked with everyone, and left the audience.
The auditorium is for everyone, and the beautiful woman has her own exclusive viewing platform, where she can have a panoramic view of the mountains and all the competition venues on Tianshu Peak.
"You little girl with yellow hair from a foreign race, this is not the place you should come to."
Sooner or later, Wei Suyao's opponent in today's arena competition arrived at the competition venue as promised.
Lao Dai, the elder of Botong Martial Arts School, is a strong man in his mid-thirties with a long beard.
He was wearing a simple brown cloth coat and black ribbon trousers. The sleeves were rolled up to his arms, revealing his arms with swollen muscles and even visible blood vessels.
Zhou Xingyun and others initially observed that Wei Suyao's opponent should be a boxer.
"Junior Wei Suyao, I have the honor to meet my senior. I would like to ask my senior for your advice today."
Although Lao Dai spoke very rudely to Wei Suyao and opened his mouth like a yellow-haired little girl, everyone knew that Wei Suyao was a good girl with a big heart that could tolerate Zhou Xingyun's unbridled mistakes. Normally she would not be angry.
"..." Lao Dai was quite surprised. He didn't expect Wei Suyao to be a well-educated person and respectfully bowed to him with clasped fists. This was different from the rumors he had heard...
Recently, many foreign warriors have come to challenge the Wanglou martial arts arena. They show off their power in the six martial arts areas outside Tianshu Peak. They do not take the Central Plains warriors into consideration and act extremely arrogantly.
Today, Wei Suyao is very well-behaved and polite. He can't even find fault with her every move...
Ever since, Lao Dai nodded to Wei Suyao and was about to jump down from the audience seat and enter the competition venue.
Wait! The harsh talk session before the game ended like this? No way! It can’t be like this!
Seeing Lao Dai and Wei Suyao preparing to enter the competition venue, Zhou Xingyun rushed forward to stop them: "Wait, wait! I still have something to say!"
"Can't we wait until the competition is over to say something?" Wei Suyuan looked at Zhou Xingyun's cheerful face and had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Zhou Xingyun ignored her protest at all, rushed straight to Lao Dai, and asked himself: "Hello, senior! It is said that you are a master of the Wanglou Martial Arts Arena! You must be very powerful!"
"I don't dare take it." Lao Dai said modestly while stroking his beard: "There are many great talents in the world, and there are many people who are better than me in martial arts."
"That's right! Senior, you are absolutely right! Just like your opponent today, her martial arts is definitely better than yours!"
"You boy!"
Zhou Xingyun's operation was so disrespectful that Lao Dai immediately glared with anger.
"Senior, calm down! I don't mean to offend you, but... do you know who she is?"
