Chapter 1066: Xiuxin’s Turn!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


And the match of formations after that…The Thousand Mountains Sect had never lost to anyone when it came to formations, even when their opponents were the few higher-ranking sects with lower-class Celestial Luck Banners. As for the match of pillar forces and free will…the wicked plan of their sect leader was plain to see. From all of the above, the outcome was predictable.


“We bet on Thousand Mountains Sect! After all, it is a time-honored sect!” Ding Buke and You Buneng made up their mind.


Huo Yunfeng flew into a rage instantly. “You can’t bet on Thousand Mountains Sect! Are you trying to bankrupt me? You ungrateful things! You’ve just won over a hundred pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade from me, and yet you still want to take advantage of me? Do you still take me as your brother?”


Both men felt dizzy when they heard that.


“You will still bet on Residence of Nine Supremes this round!” Huo Yunfeng decided for them. “Each of you will bet sixty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. It’s settled. I have the final say!”


They were struck dumb, and it was a long time before they said, “Boss, you can’t do that to us!”


“The odds are two to one!” Huo Yunfeng gritted his teeth.


“No, no, we won’t play even if the odds are two to one!” They shook their heads repeatedly.


“Three to one! This is my bottom line! If you still refuse to play, forget it then! Hmph! Looks like this is the end of our thousands of years of brotherhood!” Huo Yunfeng’s face turned blue and he was obviously very angry.


Ding Buke and You Buneng sighed helplessly. “What should we do?” They gathered together to discuss.


“He’s clearly trying to win back his spiritual jades…”


“Who doesn’t know that? Can you just tell me what we should do?”


“Aye…why don’t we just let him win back his spiritual jades? Otherwise, when we get back, we will have to look at his dark face for dozens of years. After all, the three of us spend most of the time together…”


“Alright. We’ve rejoiced too soon today.”


Everything was great about this Boss, and he was loyal to his brothers and always took care of them. But, he was overly obsessed with wealth. His mind was always occupied with spiritual jades and precious treasures, and would immediately become hot-headed whenever he saw them.


When the two finished their discussion, they turned around and agreed to play the game. “Each of us will bet sixty pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade! Boss, remember the odds are three to one!”


“Of course!” Huo Yunfeng beamed with joy instantly. With the winning cards in his hand now, the odds of three to one did not matter at all. It was merely a decoration.


“Boss, if we win, you have to pay 180 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade to each of us!” Ding Buke reminded as he was still not convinced. He had to make it clear. Otherwise, with Boss’s temper, the odds of three to one might change to one to three.


It was a painful lesson both of them had learned in the past.


“Gambling is all about fairness! Why would I want to cheat you?” Huo Yunfeng said angrily. “If Residence of Nine Supremes wins, I’ll pay each of you 180 pieces, and if they lose, each of you will pay me 60 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. That’s the deal.”


“Your 180 pieces must be of supreme-grade as well,” You Buneng pointed out. “You’ve only said 180 pieces but not supreme-grade spiritual jade. What if you pay us 180 pieces of inferior-grade spiritual jade when we win?”


With an embarrassed expression, Huo Yunfeng said, “Damnit! You just don’t trust me, do you?”


Both men stared at him with a knowing look.


He ground his teeth for a while and said, “Fine, fine, fine! You win the bet as long as Residence of Nine Supremes wins the challenge, and I’ll pay each of you 180 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade! But you lose if Residence of Nine Supremes fails to get promoted, and each of you will have to pay me 60 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade. Are you satisfied now?”


“It’s a deal!”


The discussion between the three brothers finally came to an end and a new round of gambling was made official. But, Ding Buke and You Buneng suddenly felt worried. Although they knew the odds of them losing were higher, it was not necessarily hopeless. And once they won…


Their boss, Huo Yunfeng, would become bankrupt straightaway. The 120 pieces from the previous round plus the 360 pieces of this round equaled to 500 pieces of supreme-grade spiritual jade, which was almost an astronomical wealth…


What should they do then…?


Both Du Yangfan and Yun Yang were staring at the high stand from down below, their faces suspicious.


What was the matter with these three executive officers? Why did they whisper to each other before every challenge? It was their battle and had nothing to do with those three. They were just the nominal hosts of the challenge.


What was the reason for all the delay?


The first match was between the disciples. Yun Yang turned to the side with a smile and said, “Sect Leader Du, my sect is new here and knows nothing about the mode of disciple match. May I ask how the match should be carried out? Is it one-on-one or a scuffle? Is it the best of five sets, three sets, or even seven sets or nine sets? We have no problem with all that. You can choose a mode that you feel more confident in. It really doesn’t matter, as we can accept all the above modes!”


A roar of laughter broke out all over the place.


Yun Yang was clearly jeering at Du Yangfan for not daring to fight him head-on and making every effort to avoid the strong while only targeting the weak.


Du Yangfan’s face turned red instantly. After all, he was the leader of a sect, and he had the dignity to take care of. “I think it’s better for you to tell me which mode you prefer, Sect Leader Yun,” he said coldly. “We’ll fight according to your choice. Thousand Mountains Sect has never feared any enemy.”


Yun Yang laughed. “In that case, Yun Xiuxin!”


The little girl had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so she stepped forward and said, “This disciple is here!”


Her voice was clear and crisp, but also mixed with a childlike tone that could not be concealed.


“Go and experience the skills of the senior brothers from Thousand Mountains Sect, lest you be so arrogant in our home like a frog at the bottom of a well,” said Yun Yang with a straight face.


“This disciple understands!”


Yun Xiuxin had a petite frame, and she was dressed in a cloth white as snow, with only a lilac belt around her waist. When she walked down the stands, she looked like a fairy who was gracefully descending from a cloud, beautiful and elegant.


In spite of the appearance of such beauty, all the people present except Residence of Nine Supremes sighed at the same time.


Why did they send such a delicate little girl…


Judging from her appearance, she was not even fifteen years old, was she?


Why did Residence of Nine Supremes send her? Could it be that they had already given up the first match?


On the opposite side, several disciples of Thousands Mountains Sect were eager to fight the match. This kind of little girl was definitely the best opponent!


‘If I am chosen to fight this match, I will definitely show mercy and not hurt her. Moreover, during the fighting, I must try my best to show my generosity, so that I will be adored by her when I win. And maybe in the future…’


“Please let me fight this match, Master!” The lead disciple of Thousand Mountains Sect, Han Kongqun, said with a serious face. “Residence of Nine Supremes came prepared. I don’t think they will send an ordinary disciple for no reason. We must not be deceived by her appearance. We can’t take this match lightly.”


What he said was very reasonable, and it seemed that he, as the lead disciple, should be sent to fight this match no matter what.


However, all the other disciples were twitching their mouths.


‘Damnit! Who are you showing this hypocrisy to? We are all from the same sect, and we know each other well enough. Who doesn’t know you are a goat who wants to push every beautiful girl onto your bed? And yet you still have the face to put on that righteous look…’


‘Who will believe you aren’t trying to take advantage of that little girl?’


All the disciples looked at him with disdain.


“Alright, Kongqun will fight this match,” said Du Yangfan. “As you said, there must be a reason why Residence of Nine Supremes sent this little girl. We must not be careless. This match must be won!”


Han Kongqun could not help but beam. In a voice thick with joy, he said, “Understood! This disciple will do my best to complete the task.”


But, he thought in his head, ‘This is going to be great! The match is certainly important. It goes without saying that I will become famous in front of all the heroes later, and maybe I can even earn the admiration of many beauties…At the very least, this little girl should be able to sense the mercy I show her during the match. A beauty like her should not be a fool!’


‘She’s really good-looking…hehehe…If only I could hold her petite body in my arms and enjoy it at night, inch by inch…How wonderful!’


With the reverie in mind, Han Kongqun moved. His body floated as he stepped out, his hands clasped behind his back and his clothes waving in the breeze as he drifted out elegantly.


His levitation technique was indeed amazing; he was drifting forward slowly in the air as if something was holding him from beneath. Coupled with his tall and slender stature, black hair, face as fair as jade, gentle and warm eyes, prominent nose, and the black clothes he wore, he looked like an immortal.


“This disciple of Thousand Mountains Sect does have an excellent appearance and demeanor,” Yun Yang praised. “He is truly a man of striking appearance.”


His voice was loud and could be heard by all.


Naturally, Han Kongqun, who was in mid-air, heard that too. His cultivation of the levitation technique was surely incredible, as he suddenly turned in the air and cupped his fist while smiling, “Thanks for Sect Leader Yun’s compliment. This disciple is Han Kongqun, and I have a lot to learn from Sect Leader Yun.”


Yun Yang nodded slightly and said, “And you are humble and well-mannered. Good, good! Sect Leader Du, I really envy you for having such an extraordinary lead disciple.”


But, Du Yangfan’s face grew dark.


‘What are you doing, Han Kongqun? You should be fighting the match and not showing off! This is not the place for you to show off!’


‘You’ve wasted part of your mystical Qi to show off even before the match begins…Do you know the cultivation base of your opponent? How could you be so careless!’


His heart was filled with mixed feelings when he heard Yun Yang’s compliment, but to maintain his demeanor, he could only clench his teeth and say, “You are flattering him, Sect Leader Yun. My disciple is merely showing off in the presence of all the experts here and making himself a laughing stock. Your disciple, on the other hand, is the real talent, a lovely girl who everyone likes at first sight.”


While smiling, Yun Yang said, “As the saying goes, one night’s romance with a gorgeous girl, a happy death thus deserved. I didn’t expect Sect Leader Du to also be such a romantic man. No wonder…Like master, like disciple!”


Du Yangfan almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.


In the field, Han Kongqun smiled and said, “If I heard it correctly, you are Yun Xiuxin, aren’t you? What a good name! The beauty in the cloud(Yun), pretty(Xiu) in appearance and clever in mind, and with a good heart(Xin) too. An excellent name!”


Yun Xiuxin was stunned. ‘What’s wrong with this guy? Is he here to fight? Why is he behaving so strangely? We are enemies, so how can he be so careless as to put his hands behind his back and expose his chest? Is he really so confident?’


She was only thirteen years old now, so how could she understand the passion men felt for women or the fact that he was trying to pick her up? Her head was filled with only victory or defeat, and how she was going to brag when she won the match later. Now, as she saw her opponent in such a relaxed state, she could not help but overthink…


“Yes, my name is quite good, but your name, Han Kongqun…this name doesn’t seem very good.”


Han Kongqun felt his heart melting when he heard Yun Xiuxin’s crisp and childish voice as he stared at her delicate little face from a close distance. “Why?”


“Your name is Han Kongqun. Does that mean you are a cruel man? Because of your cruelty(Han), herds(Qun) of wild boars in the woods are gone(Kong), either frozen to death or caught and eaten. What’s so good about this name? It is an ominous name.”


The little girl shook her head repeatedly and looked at Han Kongqun with sympathy. “Senior Brother, you better change your name. Even Han Er sounds better than Han Kongqun.”[1]


The corner of his mouth twitched as he said. “Junior Sister Xiuxin is so funny, haha!”


Yun Xiuxin’s patience ran thin. “Let’s begin!” She drew her sword and cried out.


But, Han Kongqun was still smiling. With a hand rested on the hilt of his sword, he said, “Junior Sister Xiuxin, how old are you now?”


“What’s wrong with you?” Yun Xiuxin growled. “Do you want to fight or not? Why are you uttering so much nonsense?”


“Why can’t we just talk first? It’s not too late to fight later.”


Yun Xiuxin rolled her eyes. “I don’t have the spare time to talk! If you don’t want to fight, I’ll do it!”


Before her voice had died away, her sword stirred a ripple of sword light and she flew up into the air. Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from within the sword light, piercing through the air like a beautiful shooting star.


The ray flashed and then vanished, never to be seen again.


Yun Xiuxin had already attacked, but Han Kongqun was still showing off. His pair of bright eyes were gleaming on his handsome face, and the look in them was the gentlest. Coupled with his waving clothes, he had the look of an immortal.


With the look alone, common girls and women would have been enchanted by him and thrown themselves into his arms, even inviting him to share their beds.


In fact, it was with this good appearance of his that Han Kongqun had taken many beauties in the past. But now, he had miscalculated in this match, and that brought him his total defeat.
