Chapter 120: Betting with Eldest Senior Brother
Receiving no response, Cheng Hui withdrew his hand.
Lin Qingyue wore a shallow smile on his face, talking to Ye Jingxian and Wen Hongyu but completely ignoring him.
Hmph, he wasn’t some benevolent person who didn’t hold grudges. There was no rule that an apology had to be forgiven.
Lin Qingyue watched the competition for most of the day out of boredom, discovering that the sword techniques of each peak in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had their own characteristics.
For example, the biggest characteristic of the main peak, Taichu Peak’s sword technique, was its gossip-like (Bagua) quality, observing the origin of heaven and earth, the two polarities of Yin and Yang.
Yu Qianqian’s Duanyue Peak (Peak of Broken Mountains) focused on strength. Conversely, Qingming Peak (Clear Underworld Peak) represented speed. Xuanshu Peak (Mysterious Pivot Peak) combined sword formations, ever-changing and very interesting.
After watching the sword techniques of all the peaks, Lin Qingyue discovered a very interesting issue: as long as one understood their sword techniques sufficiently, one could find corresponding countermeasures.
He leaned into Ye Jingxian’s ear and whispered, “Eldest Senior Brother, each peak has its advantages and points to breach. In the end, it also depends on whose cultivation is higher, who has more spiritual power, and who can see through the opponent first.”
Ye Jingxian smiled. “Everyone’s sword technique is different. Understanding them indeed makes it easier to defeat them, but has Little Junior Brother ever considered that if others can see it, do they know it themselves?”
Lin Qingyue: “They should know, but no one is without flaws, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Seeing the flaws in everyone wasn’t difficult; he could see through them at a glance.
Ye Jingxian didn’t refute him upon hearing this, knowing he could see it. Coincidentally, on Competition Platform One, disciples from Duanyue Peak and Qingming Peak came up. The gap in their cultivation was small, with the Duanyue Peak disciple having slightly lower cultivation.
“Little Junior Brother, how about a bet?” Ye Jingxian suddenly asked.
“A bet? Bet on what?”
“Let’s bet on this match—which peak’s Junior Brother can win. How about it?”
Ye Jingxian pointed at the two and looked at Lin Qingyue. “You go first. Who does Little Junior Brother think can win and advance to the next round?”
Lin Qingyue followed his gaze. It happened to be Senior Brothers from Duanyue Peak and Qingming Peak. He examined the two carefully. He knew that Senior Brother from Duanyue Peak and had seen his sword technique. In the end, he chose the Senior Brother from Qingming Peak.
Ye Jingxian smiled and said, “Since Little Junior Brother chooses Qingming Peak, then I choose Duanyue Peak.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, since we’ve chosen, what are the stakes?”
Since they were betting, how could there be no stakes? That would be boring.
“What does Little Junior Brother want as a stake?”
Lin Qingyue thought for a while but couldn’t find anything he wanted at the moment.
“How about this? The loser unconditionally agrees to do three things for the winner or agrees to three requests. As long as it doesn’t violate the Dao of Heaven or human ethics.”
Hearing this, a light flashed in Ye Jingxian’s eyes, and a smile hung on his lips. “Okay.”
Seeing the two betting, Wen Hongyu interjected, “Little Junior Brother betting with Eldest Senior Brother, promising three conditions right off the bat—truly bold because of high skill.”
Lin Qingyue: “Second Senior Sister, do you know some inside information? Hurry and tell Junior Brother.”
Wen Hongyu smiled ambiguously. “Did you know that when Eldest Senior Brother bets with people on who wins or loses, he has basically never made a mistake?”
“However.” She changed the topic. “Eldest Senior Brother let you choose first. If you seize the opportunity, you can make Eldest Senior Brother agree to three conditions.”
Lin Qingyue: “Senior Sister, what do you think my chances of winning are?”
Wen Hongyu: “I really don’t know about this.”
“I stand with Eldest Senior Brother.” Luo You silently added from the side.
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue looked at the two on stage again. There was some gap in their cultivation.
But he knew that Senior Brother from Duanyue Peak. His sword technique had a great sense of power; the only drawback was that his speed wasn’t as good as the Senior Brother from Qingming Peak. Even if he was superb in other aspects, and improved his speed, he still wouldn’t match the Qingming Peak Senior Brother.
This Qingming Peak Senior Brother happened to be a talent type in sword speed, and his cultivation was a notch higher than the opponent’s. No matter how one looked at it, his odds of winning were the greatest.
Even now, looking at the two fighting, it was back and forth, and the Qingming Peak Senior Brother obviously understood his opponent too, dismantling his moves bit by bit.
Watching the Duanyue Peak Senior Brother gradually losing ground, Lin Qingyue felt he shouldn’t have bet wrong.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I didn’t see wrong. Unless the Senior Brother from Duanyue Peak is hiding his clumsiness (hiding true skill), or breaks through his cultivation on the spot. Otherwise, he will really lose.”
So he still felt his probability of winning was high. From his observations up to now, he had basically made no mistakes.
Ye Jingxian handed over a plate of spirit fruits. “They still have to fight for a while. Little Junior Brother, no need to rush. Why not wait a bit longer?”
The Qingming Peak Senior Brother pressed continuously. Every sword strike was fast, and while fast, the sword’s power was also great. The Duanyue Peak Senior Brother was already injured and somewhat powerless; it looked like he was about to lose.
Although Lin Qingyue wasn’t 100% certain he had won, he felt it was extremely likely that Ye Jingxian would have to fulfill the promise.
“Eldest Senior Brother, get ready. You might owe me three requests.”
Ye Jingxian’s expression was calm and unchanged; he just smiled. “Little Junior Brother, perhaps you spoke too soon.”
Seeing the Duanyue Peak Senior Brother about to lose, Lin Qingyue was very curious why he was so certain.
However, just when the Duanyue Peak Senior Brother was about to lose, a turning point appeared in the match.
The Duanyue Peak Senior Brother used the disadvantage of his speed being inferior to the opponent’s and turned it into an advantage. He lured the person to the edge of the competition platform. When the opponent attacked, he used his strength to change the situation, catching the person with a backhand and throwing him off the stage.
It happened too fast. The match reversed instantly, and naturally, Lin Qingyue saw it too.
It was true that the Duanyue Peak Senior Brother’s weakness was grasped by the opponent, but he also grasped the opponent’s weakness. He deliberately magnified his own weakness from the start, making the opponent underestimate him, and finally found the opportunity to counterattack.
Lin Qingyue laughed. Playing mind games with him, huh? The reason he lost the bet to Eldest Senior Brother was simply that he thought he understood them and believed their competition wouldn’t have so many twists and turns.
He had also underestimated the enemy.
“Heh!” Lin Qingyue looked at Ye Jingxian. “Eldest Senior Brother, I lost. I accept the loss. You can make any request. I will agree to three things and will absolutely not break my word.”
He understood Ye Jingxian. The requests the other party would make wouldn’t be beyond what he could accept, and certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
Therefore, Lin Qingyue agreed very readily and could afford to lose.
“Eldest Senior Brother, is there anything you need me to do?”
“No rush. I don’t have anything I need Little Junior Brother to do right now. Let’s leave it for now.”
Ye Jingxian didn’t say, just letting it be for now. Lin Qingyue nodded. “Alright. Tell me later when you need me to fulfill them.”
Ye Jingxian’s eyes were full of smiles. He had already thought of the first request in his heart. But now was not the time; he still needed to wait.
