Chapter 268 – A Gamble (2/2)
Li Qingshan asked, “What do you want?”
Qiu Haitang said, “Are you bold enough to gamble against me?”
Li Qingshan said, “You really do know how to joke around, sect master Qiu. You’re a mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator, so how am I capable enough to gamble against you?” If he could transform, he had some confidence in himself, but in human form, it was impossible for him to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Qiu Haitang said, “The person who will face you in the gamble obviously won’t be me. His cultivation will only be lower than yours. Are you bold enough to gamble with me?”
Li Qingshan said, “If we’re gambling on who’s better at embroidery, needle-threading, or birthing children, it’d be a certain loss for me.”
Han Qiongzhi broke into laughter. She never knew that he was a bit of a flippant rascal too.
Hua Chengzan smiled too, but he could see that Li Qingshan really was interested in gambling, so he did not stop him. While he had promised Gu Yanying to take care of him, he was not a babysitter. Men obviously had to make their own decisions.
Li Qingshan was indeed interested. He completely refused to believe that a few words from Hua Chengzan could stop the Sect of Clouds and Rain from seeking revenge against him and make them give up on Xiao An. At most, their disputes would be temporarily repressed, which would erupt again in the future. He could only depend on himself.
Even if the Sect of Clouds and Rain were willing to drop this matter, it would depend on whether he was willing to as well. If he did not grab these sexual predators and whores by the neck and beat them to a pulp, he refused to be called Li. Once he went through his heavenly tribulation and became a Daemon General, he would go through all four debts with the three mountains and the Sect of Clouds and Rain one by one.
Qiu Haitang said, “We’ll obviously gamble on what men are best at.”
Li Qingshan asked, “What is it?”
“Drinking, strength, and fighting.” Qiu Haitang named three areas.
Li Qingshan almost burst out laughing. He just happened to be adept in these three areas. He looked at Qiu Haitang and thought, You’re just begging for defeat now. However, he remained composed on the surface and asked, “What’s the wager?”
Qiu Haitang extended a slender finger at Li Qingshan. “You.” Then the finger slid over to Xiao An. “And her!”
Li Qingshan said, “If I lose, you’re more than welcomed to take my head.” He rubbed Xiao An’s head. “But I’ll never wager her, unless sect master Qiu is willing to wager yourself.” But he shook his head soon afterwards. “No, even that still wouldn’t be worth it.”
Qiu Haitang’s expression changed drastically. It had already been an insult for Li Qingshan to label her as a wager, but with a quick twist of his words, he basically told her to her face that even if she was willing to wager herself, in no way was she equal to Xiao An.
This was a stark-naked insult directly to her face. Despite her identity as the sect master of the Sect of Clouds and Rain and her cultivation at Foundation Establishment, she was not even as great as a little girl?
The disciples of legalism were thrown into an uproar. They were familiar with Qiu Haitang, so their gazes towards Li Qingshan became even more hostile.
Wu Gen said, “This kid’s in big trouble.”
Han Qiongzhi praised inside, Nice one, kid. Does this whore really think the world spins around her? You know embarrassment now, don’t you?
