But that was under the prerequisite of Mo Jun Ye’s cultivation being weak. How would Zhan Qing Feng know that Young Master Jun’s cultivation had already reached such an unimaginable level as to completely disregard this ‘sinister trap’ that these youths had designed so painstakingly? This huge misjudgement was enough to completely eclipse all of Zhan Qing Feng’s guesses!
Because no one would have imagined that this youth with a seemingly ‘trash’ level of cultivation would actually be a super mega expert!

What’s there to not understand? Brother Zhan, your analysis was based on the angle of logical reason. However this time, it’s simply this Mo Jun Ye’s actions being too illogical! Haha…
Another black robed youth laughed.

Illogical? What do you mean?
Someone asked.

My guess is that this Free and Natural Physique genius of ours is most likely not even aware of what a heart’s demon is yet, due to his trashy cultivation! How would he be afraid of the devil’s bite?



The black robed youth smirked and said,
The heart’s demon is a type of mental barrier that only appears when one’s cultivation reaches a sufficiently strong level! But with his current level of cultivation…

He furrowed his brows and a conflicted expression appeared on his face as he wondered aloud.
I’m not sure if he’s currently at the Golden Xuan level? Or was it Silver Xuan? … Perhaps he’s at the initial Xuan Qi level Seven, level Eight, or level Nine?

After saying that, he directly clutched his stomach and roared with laughter.
The crowd also burst into wild laughter, cheering and mocking happily. Quite clearly, everyone agreed with this reasoning.

It can’t be!
Zhan Qing Feng raised his head and furrowed his brows with deep thought.
Even if he doesn’t know, would Saint Emperor Cao also not know? With Senior’s cultivation, the first lesson he would give upon taking a disciple would definitely be to emphasize the importance of guarding one’s heart! Besides, he still has two senior brothers held here by us. Their lives are in our hands, but he simply said he’s not coming… This matter is illogical. There must be a deeper reason!


As to what deeper reasons there are, I’m not interested in guessing around here with you. But Young Master Zhan, shouldn’t it be time for us to resolve that bet of ours!
Miao Xiao Miao looked coldly at him and said.
For some reason, these outstanding youths in front of her suddenly all looked exceptionally irksome to her eyes, with none being the exception! Why was it that all of them seemed so shallow? Compared to Mo Jun Ye, it was truly like the difference between the heavens and the earth.

Bet?
Zhan Qing Feng couldn’t help but to lift his head with annoyance as he was interrupted from his thoughts.

Yes! Our initial bet was that you all will not succeed in humiliating him! But now, he didn’t even show up. Regardless of the reason, him not showing up means that you’ve failed to humiliate him. In that case, it naturally means that I’ve won!
Miao Xiao Miao had a hint of a smile on her face as she said that.

Little sister Miao’s words are interesting. The bet hasn’t even begun, so how can you say that you’ve won?
Zhan Qing Feng haven’t spoken, but Zhan Yu Shu instantly cut in and said with a cold smirk.
Besides, it’s Mo Jun Ye who broke the appointment today, not us who’s trying to be dishonest. For little sister Miao to claim your victory now, I’m afraid it’s still a little early?




Broke the appointment?
Miao Xiao Miao scoffed coldly and rolled her eyes.
I wonder where Second Young Master got the words ‘broke the appointment’ from? Which one of you here made an appointment with him to meet here? I seem to recall that none of you have even met him before, so how could there even be an appointment in the first place? At the end of the day, today’s matter is nothing more than a one-sided fanciful wish on your side to arrange this meeting. But when the other person didn’t show up, it becomes him who’d broken the appointment? Is there such a line of reasoning in this world?

Miao Xiao Miao gazed disdainfully at Zhan Yu Shu.
Zhan Yu Shu, it seems that you are quite well practiced with such one sided affairs like this. It can’t be that you make all your ‘appointments’ like this right?!

Zhan Yu Shu’s ears turned red and he raised his voice.
No matter what, wanting to obtain the precious slot without even a proper competition is too overboard! We are not trying to back out shamelessly, but no matter what, everything should wait until after the competition. That would be the only way for this to be fair!

Hearing that, Miao Xiao Miao laughed coldly.
Then, may I please ask when Second Young Master Zhan’s ‘after the competition’ is? Zhan Yu Shu, those words of yours are truly ludicrous. The other party hasn’t turned up even until now, and your opportunity to humiliate him has already passed. Even if you are unwilling to give up and insist on continuing to challenge him, you still need to seek another opportunity. And this opportunity can be tomorrow, the day after or perhaps next month. It’s not even impossible for this match of yours to take place next year! But the bet I had with your brother is to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens in five days time! Zhan Yu Shu, perhaps you think that we’re betting on the slot to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens in 100 years time?

Zhan Yu Shu’s entire face turned red, and he couldn’t say anything.
At this time, Zhan Qing Feng laughed lightly, absolving his younger brother’s situation.
Little sister Miao, the bet is important to you, and this elder brother has no wish to be deliberately dishonest with you either. But don’t you think that doing it like this is somewhat unfair?

Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes widened. Looking at that warm and gentle smile on Zhan Qing Feng’s face, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

A bet naturally has the principle of determining a winner and a loser. But right now, both sides hadn’t even begun the competition, and you want to claim the prize… keke, little sister Miao, although I am a generous person, it’s still not to such an extent yet.
Zhan Qing Feng continued with a bitter smile.
Hearing that, Miao Xiao Miao instantly grew angry!
To think that even this had been predicted by Mo Jun Ye!


Her original intention in coming here this time was to cancel the bet. Towards this slot, she no longer held any hopes in her heart. Although she felt some regrets and reluctance, it was a much more comforting result for her.
The reason she’d mentioned the bet in the first place was simply to find an excuse to initiate cancelling the bet, and let the Zhan Family owe her a large favor… even if they didn’t owe her a favor, they could have simply treated the bet as a joke…
But who would have thought that before she could even mention that, the other party would start acting so shamelessly!
With Zhan Qing Feng’s identity as the number one Young Master of the Misty Illusory Manor, he actually was willing to stoop to such a level! Furthermore, he was doing it in such a righteous manner. In his eyes, one would not even be able to see a hint of guilt!
Full of righteousness and a clear conscience!

He could actually be like this? How could he be like this?

Could it be that words that’d come out of one’s mouth could be taken back? Eating one’s own words… can actually be done with such righteousness?!
Miao Xiao Miao’s heart instantly grew disappointed, and she couldn’t help but to remember the words the Mo Jun Ye had spoken to her before she left.
The so-called ‘willing to bet, willing to lose, everything depends on the will of the heavens’ are actually just beautiful words that people say on the surface. Most people will only admit their loss if one side is overwhelmingly stronger than the other, forcing them to honor their bet. But if the benefits of either side are very heavily involved, it is not an impossible thing for one to go back on their words. Thus, Miss Miao should not place too much importance on this kind of bets. In this world, it’s more often the case that the higher your hopes are, the greater the disappointment will be. There are often things that do not go the way we hope in life. If you treasure something too much, it won’t be good…

At that time, she’d only given him a perfunctory smile and left in a hurry. From her point of view, this Young Master Mo’s literary talent was indeed good, but his continuous attempts to slander Zhan Qing Feng were somewhat unbearable, and she could not help but lower her evaluation of him by a bit. In fact, she felt somewhat disappointed in her heart. If a person’s heart and mind were so narrow and unforgiving, though his talent may be great, his character would not much to admire.
But faced with this situation right now, those words indeed seemed much more reasonable!


Time changes many things. In just a short moment, those slanderous and morally low remarks had suddenly become truthful words of wisdom!
In that moment, the results were already clear, yet Zhan Qing Feng refused to admit his loss. Then, even if Mo Jun Ye were here and had thoroughly defeated every single one of them, they would likely still not admit their loss! Just as Young Master Mo had said, in front of great benefits, all the so-called morals, promises, and justice, were not even as thin as a piece of paper!
Moreover, this concerned an extremely important entry slot to the Spiritual Herbal Gardens which would guarantee the preservation of one’s family for thousands of years!
Right now, though Zhan Qing Feng had lost, he could simply choose to deny it. There was nothing she could do. But if it was her who lost, they would definitely sink their teeth into her, refusing to let go. They would use all kinds of methods to force her to accede!
Miao Xiao Miao could even foresee that if their positions were switched now, they might even go as far as to force her to marry Zhan Yu Shu… since they were capable of such methods, what kind of hopes could she still hold for them?
Miao Xiao Miao smiled faintly, her eyes instead turning calm. For some reason, she actually didn’t become angered. When she thought of Mo Jun Ye’s plain and straight face, she couldn’t help but to sigh in her heart. You were right. I’ve misunderstood you because my eyesight was too short!

Mo Jun Ye had clearly seen through these things and had even gone to great lengths to warn her sincerely. Yet, she’d misunderstood him… In that moment, Miao Xiao Miao felt exceedingly disappointed in herself… No wonder Young Master Mo seemed a little hesitant when he said those words. It should be because he’d already guessed my reaction. But after some thought, he still chose to say it…

If not for that reminder, allowing her to have some preparations in her heart, wouldn’t she be consumed by anger now?

Young Master Zhan is indeed full of wit and schemes, having fully considered every single aspect of the bet. Whether it be advancing a step or taking a step back, you can do it with such great ease. This little sister had been too naive to have trusted in this so-called bet. Hur hur…

Miao Xiao Miao raised her chin calmly.
Since that’s the case, is there still any point in talking about the bet? Against a person like Young Master Zhan, this little sister dares not be impetuous. Let’s forget it.
