Chapter 33: A Shocking Gamble
Yan Dansong had been watching Yan Peng's expression coldly. Although he is not accustomed to Yan Peng's ruthless methods, at a young age, he can always maintain a calm mind at this glorious moment of his life, and he really admires it in his heart.
In this competition, Yan Dansong still has considerable confidence in his son's strength. In order to ensure that the step-ancestor won the first place, he even gave him a medium-grade spiritual weapon that he had used in his early years.
However, as the patriarch, he can't help his own children too much, except for this spiritual weapon, Yan Dansong did not give more help to his step-ancestor.
Now that the first place is next to Yan Peng, looking at the dejected appearance of his step-ancestor, Yan Dansong is also extremely annoyed in his heart. Raise your breath and raise your voice: "The ranking of this trial has been decided! You clansmen can have objections, if not, now start issuing rewards for this trial!"
The rankings of the trials over the years were jointly reviewed and agreed upon by a group of foundation building cultivators, and there would be no objections at all. Yan Dansong's words are just clichés accumulated over the years, and on such an occasion, no one will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and openly express dissent.
This year, however, there was an exception.
"Wait!"
As soon as Yan Dansong's words fell, he heard a loud shout coming from a distance, and saw a black-haired man of sixteen or seventeen years old parting the crowd and slowly walking towards the altar.
The person who came was Chu Yun, this kid was still in the audience just now, but he didn't know what he was doing outside the crowd?
Yan Dansong's eyes flashed, couldn't this kid be angry with Yan Peng's actions and come here to make trouble? Anyway, this Yan Peng's character is too inferior, just using Chu Yun's tongue to expose his shameless methods.
As long as Chu Yun does not have any particularly excessive behavior, the old man should secretly defend one or two. So he pretended to reprimand: "Who is coming, and what objections do you have? If you make trouble for no reason, you need to be careful about the old man's family rules!"
As he spoke, Chu Yun had already walked to the bottom of the altar, and when he saw the encouraging eyes of the patriarch, the certainty in his heart increased a little more.
"That kid is Chu Yun?, that spiritual root super garbage guy?" Chu Yun had faded out of the sight of the Yan Relics people for many years, and at this moment, he suddenly appeared in a high-profile manner, which immediately attracted the attention of the Yan Relics.
"Yes, it's him, the bad ruffian back then, and now he's grown up!"
"I heard that this guy is a good gambler, and he wins nine out of ten bets!"
Everyone was talking, and in the crowd, a green-shirted girl looked at Chu Yun with her head up, her eyes full of affection.
Chu Yun, a gambler who has accumulated years of experience, has a very good ability to figure out people's hearts. Seeing the patriarch's smiling expression, he knew that the other party secretly supported and connived, so he immediately bowed down and replied: "Hello patriarch! Hello clansmen! Boy Chu Yun is the cousin of Yan Peng, the first winner of the trial. Our brothers have been very affectionate since childhood, and now that my cousin has won the championship, how dare the kid have any objections, this time I came here to congratulate you!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Yun raised his head and said: "Cousin, we are like brothers, today my cousin won the first place in the trial, if we don't celebrate well, wouldn't we be sorry for the deep friendship of our brothers, cousin, do you say this is the truth?"
"Brotherhood?" The muscles in Yan Peng's cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore: Chu Yun, you bastard, you have caused Lao Tzu to be grounded for several years and live a hellish life, and you still shamelessly say anything about being like a brother!
Endless anger surged into his heart, and Yan Peng wanted to say something cruel. But as soon as he saw the other party's signature pit expression, he calmed down in an instant. Secretly wondering why Chu Yun has always held a grudge against himself, why is he so enthusiastic today?
Could it be that this guy knows the reason why his aunt was injured? In this case, this guy must have come from a bad person and made trouble. In front of so many clansmen, I, Yan Peng, can't lose my demeanor.
With vigilance in his heart, Yan Peng smiled and replied loudly: "For my brother's luck to win, I will definitely drink and celebrate with my brother when I have time." However, today is the trial award ceremony, and it is very rude to interrupt the patriarch's speech, so don't retreat quickly, be careful of the clan rules and punishment!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Peng turned around and bowed deeply to Yan Dansong: "Patriarch, Chu Yun is young and doesn't know the strict rules of the clan, please don't care about his reckless crime!"
This guy was so scheming, he kept begging the patriarch not to deal with Chu Yun, but he directly convicted him of recklessness, and tried in vain to force the other party to retreat.
What kind of person is Yan Dansong, an old monster who has lived for nearly 200 years, how can he be confused by such a little trick? With a stroke of his long beard, he said happily: "It's okay, it's okay! The brotherhood is deep, and it should be vigorously rewarded! Chu Yun's reckless action is showing his innocence, but what kind of crime is there. Such sincere brotherhood is the most precious thing in the world. Yan Peng, you have to cherish it!"
Yan Dansong's last sentence is not simple, listening to the ears of those who understand, it is clear that he is comforting Yan Peng to cherish his brotherly friendship, but secretly he is not without reproach for his cold-heartedness. It seems that the patriarch doesn't have much affection for this Yan Peng.
Yan Peng opened his mouth to argue, but Yan Dansong didn't even look at him, he flicked his sleeves and turned to face Chu Yun, and said with a smile: "Chu Yun, you come to the stage to speak." You kid has always had the most ideas! The old man is very curious, what kind of trick have you come up with to celebrate your cousin this time?"
Seeing that the patriarch was secretly helping him, Chu Yun was secretly grateful, quietly winked at the patriarch, and said loudly: "Patriarch, Chu Yun has not been able to cultivate since he was a child, but he has a little bit of luck, and he has accumulated some spirit stones in his hand in the past ten years. However, in the hands of laypeople like us, the spirit stones are like pearls secretly cast, and they can't play a role at all, so I want to find an opportunity to give these spirit stones to my cousin. ”
Chu Yun talked eloquently, and when his fake self-humility was a little bit lucky, all the Yan Relic Clansmen present showed a look of disdain.
Yan Dansong also laughed and scolded: "Where is your kid a little bit of luck, it's just a flood of blessings!
Spirit Stone, this is the most important cultivation material, not only useful for Qi cultivation disciples, but also an indispensable treasure for immortal cultivators in the foundation building period.
Hearing that, Chu Yun had saved some spirit stones, which immediately attracted the attention of all the immortal cultivators present, this kid was as cunning as a fox, and there were many immortal cultivators present who were deceived by him, but they didn't know how many spirit stones this kid had saved.
Chu Yun bowed and replied, "Patriarch Hui, the kid has saved a mere forty-two spirit stones over the years. ”
"Forty-two! Oh my God! There are so many spirit stones, has this kid discovered a new spirit mine?" Forty-two spirit stones is not a small number, if it is exchanged for gold, it is enough for an ordinary family to use for ten thousand years.
Chu Yun actually had such a wealth at such a young age, not only the ordinary Yan Relic clan was greatly shocked, but even the immortal cultivators who participated in the trial, and even Yan Dansong in the Jindan stage were also greatly surprised.
To Yan Dansong, forty-two spirit stones was not much, but for a mortal who could not cultivate, it was really an incredible thing to be able to accumulate such a number of spirit stones before the age of twenty.
Seeing the shocked appearance of everyone, especially the greedy eyes of a capable Qi cultivator, Chu Yun's heart was greatly affected. A treacherous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Cousin won the championship today, Chu Yun and Youyan were honored, I wanted to give these spirit stones away, but my cousin has always been high, and he will never accept this meager gift! Cousin, do you say yes?"
Hearing that Chu Yun was going to give these spirit stones away, Yan Peng's heart was greedy, "Cousin, you are too polite, although your cousin is tall, he is still young, and it is inevitable that his mind is not strong, if you really insist on giving them away, how can your cousin not give you face." I almost blurted it out.
Forty-two spirit stones, enough for me to successfully build a foundation and completely stabilize the realm within the year! Seeing Chu Yun snatching out a handful of spirit stones from his waist, Bai Huahua's eyes were so dazzling, Yan Peng only felt that his throat was dry, and he couldn't help but purse his lips, pretending to be indifferent and said: "What my cousin said is extremely true, as the saying goes: No merit is not lost, I, Yan Peng, will never be born with these spirit stones!"
"It just so happened that my cousin won the championship today, and I made a special trip to take these spirit stones, and I was going to make a bet with these spirit stones! As long as my cousin wins, these spirit stones will all belong to my cousin!"
Seeing Yan Peng's greedy face, Chu Yun secretly laughed in his heart, turned his head to the Yan people in the audience and said with a smile: "Gambling is the most enthusiastic activity of my Yan Relics, and the trial is even more of a grand event of Yan Relics! Everyone said, on the day of my cousin's victory, what other way to celebrate, more exciting than a big gamble!"
The Yan Relics are good at gambling, and for high-level monks, a gamble of more than ten spirits is nothing. However, for ordinary clansmen, such a gamble of more than forty spirit stones can definitely be regarded as a shocking gamble.
The remnants of the Yan clan suddenly became excited, and shouted one after another: "Bet, bet, bet!"
