Chapter 13: A Must-Win Gamble

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shined through the window, full of warmth sprinkled in Xia Fan's bedroom, illuminating the originally dark and dark bedroom.

Although he sat cross-legged on the bed and didn't sleep all night, Xia Fan still stretched out very refreshed, and then slowly opened his eyes.

After moving his stiff bones and making a crackling sound, Xia Fan muttered comfortably, and it didn't seem that he felt tired because he hadn't slept all night.

The reason why human beings need to sleep is to recover the fatigue and wear and tear of the body and brain, but for martial arts cultivators, as long as the cultivation of the mind is on the right track, then it can also have the same effect.

The difference is that the process of sleep itself is a kind of enjoyment, but to recover through the cultivation of the mind is extremely painful!

Therefore, even though all martial arts cultivators know very well that the time spent sleeping can actually be completely saved and replaced by the way of cultivating the mind, what can really be done is still rare!

Some people may be able to do it for a few days, a month, or even a year, but for the vast majority of people, this almost ascetic practice is nothing less than whimsical.

Laziness is a nature.

Xia Fan in the previous life, if he hadn't been stimulated by the tragedy of the family's annihilation, he would definitely not have been able to persist like this.

So much so that later, this insistence completely became Xia Fan's habit and instinct......

However, the phoenix's immortal body is indeed magical, although one night's cultivation has only allowed Xia Fan to improve from the level where he was only able to run a whole week to about a week and a half, but the quality of the vitality in his body is actually twice that of a first-grade martial artist!

Purely in terms of the quality of the vitality, this has already reached the level of the peak of the second-grade martial artist!

It's just that Xia Fan's realm is still just staying in the first product.

Coming out of the bedroom, looking at Ya'er, who had already started to set up breakfast in the living room, Xia Fan said hello with a smile, and then asked Ya'er to sit down and eat breakfast together.

Ya'er was quite restrained at first, but after eating for a while, she found that Xia Fan was not as arrogant as before, and the whole person was very gentle, so Ya'er gradually relaxed.

When he was about to finish eating, the two blood servants who had been brought by the old butler yesterday walked in side by side.

One of the blood attendants handed a large stack of ledger-like things to Xia Fan with both hands, and as Xia Fan took it, he spoke: "Young Master, this is what you want, I and Bloody Hand visited all the relevant stores in the city last night, and then singled out every account recorded in those stores and related to your Hundred Beast Garden, and they are all here." ”

"I didn't let anyone find out."

Xia Fan looked at it and asked casually.

"No, it's just ordinary shops, and it's impossible to detect me and Bloody Hand."

The tone was very flat, without any emotional fluctuations, but Xia Fan still heard a faint dissatisfaction.

Although the blood servant had tried his best to hide this emotion, it still did not escape Xia Fan's ears.

Keen observation is the basic quality that a good killer needs to have.

Xia Fan closed the account, raised his eyes to look at the blood servant in front of him, and then looked at the blood servant standing at the door, and then said with a smile: "What?" Out of sorts? Do you think that as the most powerful force agency in the family, I let you do this kind of stealing and touching of dogs, which is really an insult to you? Do you think I'm not giving you the respect you deserve? ”

The blood servant standing in front of Xia Fan was slightly suffocated, and the expression on his face loosened.

However, he still reacted quite quickly and said, "Blood River doesn't dare." ”

"If you only say you don't dare, but you don't say you don't, then I'll guess correctly."

Xia Fan stood up as he spoke, and threw the account book in his hand to Ya'er on the side, and then looked at the two blood servants with slightly narrowed eyes.

The two blood servants bowed their heads slightly at the same time, but they did not open their mouths to defend themselves, but only put on a tacit posture and made silent protests.

"I really don't know where you inexplicable pride comes from, it's just a mere martial artist, at most on the way to martial arts, it's a first glimpse of the doorway, what kind of martial arts dignity do you talk about? It's like a craftsman with clumsy skills, claiming to be a master in front of a group of people who don't know anything, and then he must be respected and treated like a so-called master! Don't you think that's ridiculous? It's no wonder that all of you are just martial artists, although the family has tilted a lot of resources towards you and devoted all their resources to training, you still can't cultivate even a single martial artist! With such a complacent mentality, is it great to think that being a martial artist? A bunch of idiots who sit back and watch the sky! ”

Xia Fan's tone was full of sarcasm, although the tone was quite peaceful, but the content was extremely sharp.

The two blood servants' faces changed when they heard this, this was too serious, even the head of the family would never show such an attitude towards them.

"A martial artist is really nothing remarkable, but it's better than really wasting a lot of the family's resources and just being a first-grade martial artist!"

Blood River couldn't help but retort angrily.

The bloody hand standing at the door was startled by the reaction of the blood river, and hurriedly took two steps forward and pulled down the blood river.

Although what Xia Fan said was very excessive, and the bloody hands were also extremely angry, Xia Fan's identity was the young master of the Xia family after all.

Although the status of the Blood Servants was very special in the Xia family, it did not mean that they had the right to commit crimes.

"Huh? Yes, yes, you can't help but refute my words, proving that you are at least shameful, and not hopeless. In that case, do you dare to make a bet with me? ”

Xia Fan still squinted his eyes slightly at the blood river and said with a smile.

This reaction was very unexpected by the blood hand, originally in his mind, Xia Fan should be furious because of the offense of the blood river, after all, the second young master is rumored to be not a good-tempered master.

"What don't you dare! What do you want to bet on! ”

Blood River said with a stiff neck.

Seeing that Xia Fan didn't take the opportunity to attack, the bloody hand no longer stopped the blood river, but just looked at Xia Fan with some curiosity, guessing what the hell the second young master was fighting with the rumored second young master.

"Bet on what? Kindness...... Since you think I'm not judging you fairly, let's make a bet with this. Blood River, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a fifth-grade martial artist, and it has been a five-grade martial artist for a long time, but you have never been able to break through to the sixth grade, I don't know if I'm right? ”

Xia Fan asked with squinted eyes.

The situation of the Xia family's blood servants is not a secret to Xia Fan. In the previous life, before the destruction of the door, Xia Fan had already begun to contact the core of the Xia family, as the most powerful force institution of the Xia family, no matter how uninterested Xia Fan was at that time, it was bound to be firmly remembered.

"That's right, I have indeed stopped at the level of a fifth-grade martial artist for more than a year."

Xuehe thought that Xia Fan wanted to continue to taunt him, so the tone of his reply was much more rushed.

Xia Fan nodded disappreciatively, and said with a smile: "The content of the bet is very simple, give me three months, and in these three months, you must train exactly according to my requirements." After three months, I guarantee that you will be able to reach the level of a nine-rank martial artist! If you reach the level of a nine-rank martial artist, then I won, and it also proves that my evaluation of you is not biased. Of course, if you don't reach the Ninth Rank Martial Master after three months, I will lose, and I will express my most sincere apologies to you for my words. ”

"Nine Rank Martial Artist? Trimester?! ”

Xuehe looked at Xia Fan in astonishment, he felt that there must be something wrong with his ears, or something was wrong with the second young master's brain in front of him!

Bloody hands also opened their mouths wide, looking at Xia Fan blankly, never expecting to hear such nonsense.

"It can't be! How many martial arts cultivators can't be promoted from a fifth-grade martial artist to a ninth-grade martial artist in a lifetime! I know my qualifications very well, and if I continue to cultivate, I may be able to reach that level one day, but this time is definitely not three months! Even thirty years is hopeless! ”

Blood River said, shaking his head.

"Whether or not I can make you reach the Ninth Rank Martial Master, that's my business. All you have to do is tell me if you dare to make this bet. ”

Xia Fan looked at the river of blood and continued very seriously: "I am very sober, and I know what I am talking about, you don't need to look at me with such eyes as if you are looking at a madman, tell me, dare or not?" ”

"Humph! Even if I agree to this bet, and wait until I don't reach the ninth rank martial artist in three months, you can still use my inattentiveness and deliberate artificial delay in the cultivation process as an excuse to excuse yourself. ”

After frowning and thinking about it, Xuehe snorted coldly and spoke.

He felt that this should be Xia Fan's plan, and he couldn't help but despise Xia Fan in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not so shameless, and in the same way, I won't doubt the loyalty and character of the blood servant, I believe that as long as you agree, then in these three months, you will definitely cooperate with my request meticulously, you don't have to worry about this."

Xuehe didn't expect Xia Fan to give him such an answer at all, and after being stunned, he looked at Xia Fan's playful eyes, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and nod and said, "Bet, bet!" ”

"Very well, Bloody Hand, you will be a witness to this bet. Of course, I hope that this bet will not be known to anyone other than those present, whether it is the content of the bet, or the process. ”

Xia Fan said with a smile on his face.

Let a fifth-grade martial artist reach the level of a ninth-grade martial artist in three months, this kind of thing naturally has to be kept secret, otherwise once it spreads, it will inevitably cause a lot of chaos.

However, in the eyes of Blood River and Bloody Hand, Xia Fan's advice was completely to save his own face.

If the content of the bet is not circulated, even if he loses at that time, Xia Fan only needs to apologize to the two of them. If no one else knows, naturally there is no face to lose.

Doesn't that make sense......

Blood River and Blood Hand glanced at each other and nodded with a look of understanding.
