The Xiao family is known as the largest martial arts family in Lianyung City. There are many talented people and masters in the family.
What made Wang Yiming a little strange was that the Xiao family was a martial arts family. How could Xiao Fan, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, come to Lingwu Academy to study? This made him a little curious.
Although Wang Yiming was usually arrogant and domineering, he came from a famous family after all, so he did not dare to ask more questions. He just smiled and said without revealing anything: "Master Xiao entered Lingwu Academy in such a low-key manner. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to us?"
Which beauty from Lingwu Academy wouldn’t be perfect?”
As soon as Wang Yiming said this, others also laughed. Although Wang Yiming respected the Xiao Fan in front of him, most people did not see the clues, let alone compare the young man in front of him with the Xiao family.
Get in touch with the young master.
After all, the Xiao family is the most serious wealthy family in Lianyun City. Compared with the Xiao family, the three major families in Xinpo Town combined may not be as powerful as the Xiao family.
Xiao Fan smiled at Wang Yiming, "You're right, I did hear that there is a stunning beauty in the Swordsman's Court of Lingwu Academy. Although she is still young, she is tall and graceful, and she looks like a beautiful woman.
It’s just that I’ve been here for almost half a month, but I haven’t been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her beauty, which is really a pity!”
Wang Yiming's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively: "I wonder what the name of that stunningly beautiful girl that Young Master Xiao mentioned is?"
"Well..." Xiao Fan scratched his head and looked like he was thinking. After a while, he said, "I heard it was called Ruoling. I wonder if Mr. Wang has seen it?"
After hearing Xiao Fan's words, other people around him thought to themselves that it was not good. No one in the Swordsman's Court knew that Wang Yiming was one of Ruo Ling's suitors.
Xiao Fan actually said Ruo Ling's name bluntly in front of Wang Yiming. With Wang Yiming's character, I'm afraid he won't let it go.
Seeing Xiao Fan looking at him with a smile on his face, Wang Yiming's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten, and then slowly relaxed.
"Hahaha, look at what Mr. Xiao said, this Ruoling is the undisputed number one beauty in the Swordsman Academy. I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Lingwu Academy who can compete with Miss Ruoling. How could I not recognize her?"
"Oh...that's right. Hehe, would you like to make a bet, Mr. Wang?"
Xiao Fan had already seen Wang Yiming's reaction just now, but he still looked at Wang Yiming with an evil smile and urged him to place a bet.
Wang Yiming frowned. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Fan, he was the eldest son of the Xiao family after all, so Wang Yiming had no choice but to endure it.
"Okay, what are you betting on?" Wang Yiming asked with interest as he glanced at the piles of spiritual crystals and densely packed names on Xiao Fan's table.
"It's very simple. What we are betting on is whether Ling Chen can reach the top fifty and advance successfully tomorrow. Betting on Ling Chen to advance is a three to five odds, and bet on Ling Chen not being able to advance is a five to one odds. How about that?
, do you want to try it?”
Xiao Fan looked excited, as if this was something fun.
Wang Yiming chuckled and asked with some disdain: "This Ling Chen is a waste. How could he enter the top fifty tomorrow? This is obviously impossible. Knowing this, Mr. Xiao deliberately pushed Ling Chen
If you set the odds of not being able to advance to 5 for 1, aren’t you just spreading money in disguise?”
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes, smiled again, touched his nose, and said: "Young Master Wang is right. In fact, I also think that Ling Chen may not be able to enter the top fifty tomorrow. If I do this, it is true.
I want to spread the wealth to the big guys."
Wang Yiming frowned. Xiao Fan didn't seem to follow the rules when talking and acting. He didn't think that Xiao Fan would be stupid enough to give his own money to these unrelated people.
Seeing that Wang Yiming didn't seem to believe it, Xiao Fan explained with a smile: "After all, I am new here, so of course I have to find a way to have a good relationship with everyone, so I came up with this method, which can not only entertain everyone, but also make people happy."
They make a small profit, so why not do it?"
"Haha, is that so? It seems that the Xiao family is really financially strong, and they actually find ways to spread their wealth."
"Hahaha... Mr. Wang is overrated, but you are right. Our Xiao family is not only the number one martial arts family in Lianyun City, but also the number one richest man in Lianyun City. Mr. Wang will not know this.
?”
Listening to Xiao Fan's slightly showy and sarcastic words, Wang Yiming couldn't help but feel a little angry, but it was hard to get angry.
Smiling unnaturally, Wang Yiming took out a middle-grade spiritual crystal from his arms and placed it on the table.
"Since Mr. Xiao has said this, I won't be polite. I'll bet Ling Chen not to be among the top fifty for ten thousand low-grade spiritual crystals!"
A sneer flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he put away Wang Yiming's middle-grade spiritual crystal, and then said with admiration: "Young Master Wang is so generous. He gave away 10,000 low-grade spiritual crystals in one move. Xiao really admires it."
"Master Xiao smiled. I just hope that Master Xiao will not pay too much. If I win, Master Xiao will have to pay me 50,000 low-grade spiritual crystals."
Xiao Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's natural. I never trick anyone."
This time, those who were still watching were completely excited. Since even Wang Yiming bet that Ling Chen would not be in the top fifty, it must be true. Some people who had not dared to place bets before started to
There was crazy betting, and some people even kept raising their bets.
Seeing more and more people placing bets, Xiao Fan felt happy. As more and more people placed bets, Xiao Fan had to ask two people to help him write a list of bettors.
Wang Yiming saw that Xiao Fan didn't seem to be interested in him, so he didn't stay any longer and turned around and left.
The news about Xiao Fan gathering people to place bets in the backyard soon spread in the Swordsman Academy, attracting other disciples of the Swordsman Academy. Even He Xin, the dean of the Swordsman Academy, also learned about it.
When He Xing heard that someone was gathering a crowd to place bets, he couldn't help but became furious and threatened to expel the bettor from the college.
However, when he heard that the person who gathered people to place bets was Xiao Fan, He Xin's face suddenly stiffened and his brows knitted together tightly.
If it had been someone else, he would have expelled him from the Lingwu Academy without hesitation, but this person was Xiao Fan from the Xiao family, which made He Xin have to suppress his anger for a while.
There is no way, the Xiao family is known as the largest family in Lianyun City, and no one dares to compete with it.
Although Lingwu Academy is quite prestigious in Xinpo Town, Lianyun City, if it really offends the Xiao family, I'm afraid it's time for Lingwu Academy to be destroyed.
Xiao Fan suddenly came to Lingwu Academy half a month ago. The person who accompanied Xiao Fan was the chief steward of the Xiao family.
What surprised He Xin most at that time was that the chief butler of the Xiao family actually had the cultivation level of the Sword King, which really shocked him.
