ater, a clicking sound echoed in his mind, followed by a surge of true qi within him that exploded like a bomb, becoming countless times stronger than before.His entire aura surged, every cell brimmin...After the simple consultation was over, everyone packed up their camping gear and put it in the car, then began to tour Lake Smoke Wave.
As dusk approached, they returned to the Changsun residence. At this time, Changsun Dongju and Ouyang Lan had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. The family gathered together for a meal.
After dinner, Ye Bufan came to the study of Cang Song, the eldest grandson of the family. At this moment, Dongfang Jianye, the head of the Dongfang family, and Sima Pingcuo, the head of the Sima family, were already waiting here.
Seeing him enter, Dongfang Jianye said anxiously, "Xiaofan, do you know about the battle proclamation under Yunxia Mountain"
Ye Bufan nodded. "Understood."
" Sima Pingcuo also said nervously, "What should we do How can we cope They're said to have brought a Celestial Realm expert. Even if we wanted to ask for help, we couldn't find someone of that caliber."
Changsun Cangsong also frowned, his hands clasped behind his back as he paced the room: "Xiaofan, this time things are a bit too big."
"Uncle, Head of the Eastern Family, you both needn't worry. It's just Mount Yunxia, nothing to be alarmed about."
"Xiao Fan, have you figured out a way" Dongfang Jianye said with surprise.
"Indeed," Sima Pingcuo chimed in, "If there's anything we can do, just let us know."
"Indeed, there are some things that need your help," Ye Bufan said with a slight smile.
Changsun Cangsong said, "Xiao Fan, as long as you can get through this current tribulation, just tell me anything."
Ye Bufan said, “All three families have a say in our industries. Let’s open the market now.”
Oriental Construction was a little taken aback: "What do you mean"
"Don't you understand" Ye Bufan laughed. "Tomorrow is the day of the big battle, such a good opportunity, how could we not make a fortune."
Changsun Cangsong asked, "Do you mean we should set up a gambling game for the Yanbo Lake battle tomorrow"
Ye Bufan nodded. "That's right."
Dongfang Jianye shook his head: "Xiao Fan, what time is it now Why are you still thinking about money If you lose, what use is there for more money"
In his view, Ye Bufan should have known he was bound to lose, so he wanted to make a profit from this battle.
Sima Pingcuo said, "Furthermore, in a battle that can be seen to have a clear winner at a glance, even if we open odds, we will ultimately only lose our principal and make no profit."
Ye Bufan was first slightly taken aback, then he smiled.
"Don't you have faith in me I let you set the stakes and didn't say I was betting on losing. We win this duel AND this wager, a double victory wouldn't that be nice"
"This..."
Upon hearing his words, the three patriarchs present were somewhat stunned.
Changsun Cangsong asked, "Xiao Fan, are you serious This is not a time for jokes."
"Of course I'm serious." Ye Bufan said firmly, "Believe me, we have a surefire chance of winning this battle."
"Really That's wonderful!"
The three of them were immediately overjoyed. You have to know that Ye Bufan now represents their three great families. Once this battle is lost, I'm afraid their three great families won't be safe either.
Originally, after receiving the news this afternoon, the three of them had been frowning. Now, after hearing Ye Bufan's words, they were instantly invigorated, as if they had become ten years younger.
After the excitement subsided, Dongfang Jianye asked: “How should we open this market”
"Yunchia Mountain won at odds of 10 to 1, I won at odds of 2 to 1."
"What, that odds doesn't seem right"
Sima Pingcuo said, "Nowadays, the outside world is generally optimistic about Yunxiashan. If we continue to set odds like this, I'm afraid the betting market will be one-sided, with everyone betting on their victory."
Ye Bufan just smiled faintly, without responding, picked up the teacup beside him and took a leisurely sip.
Sima Pingcuo was a little stunned, Dongfang Jianye patted him directly on the shoulder.
"Brother Sima, you're being stubborn as ever. I told you this battle was guaranteed to be a victory, and that's why we need such a lopsided betting line."
If someone lets us win, wouldn't we lose out on a profit
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so happy! Just a little confused for a moment."
As the head of the household, Sima Pingcuo was naturally not a fool. He immediately understood the ins and outs of the situation.
Then he excitedly said: "By the way, I have another great idea. Tomorrow's battle at Smoke Wave Lake, we completely blockade it and then sell tickets for viewing, charging 100,000 each, and we can still make a fortune."
"This method is not bad, let's arrange it now..."
The Three Great Families were excitedly discussing, but Ye Bufan ignored them all and left the study.
Inside the Xuanyuan Pavilion, when Situ Changkong came back after making a phone call, with Huo Dongping's treatment, the swelling on Huo Jian's face had subsided considerably, but his internal injuries were still there and he needed to recuperate for some time.
Seeing him enter, Huo Jian's face contorted as he yelled, "That bastard, when is he going to come and apologize on his knees"
At this moment, Situ Changkong felt a surge of disgust towards this second-generation ancestor. However, there was nothing he could do but suppress the anger burning within him.
Ho Dongping asked, "What did that kid say"
"That...Xiao Fan, he refused..."
To prevent himself from being asked about Huo Dongping again, Situ Changkong didn't tell Ye Bufan everything.
"Refusal Do you have the guts to refuse" Huo Dongping sneered, a hint of disdain in his voice. "Wanting to act tough requires actual strength. Facing an emperor, what other choice does he have besides death"
Arrogant and clueless kid, I'll see how long he can keep this up. He'll be crawling to me begging sooner or later.
In his view, Ye Bufan's toughness was just temporary. To resolve the crisis of Yunxiashan, he would ultimately have to come crawling to him.
Huo Jian shouted fiercely, "I hope he never comes back, dying at the hands of Hong Sihai."
Although Ye Bufan didn't move a single finger against him, he held all the resentment in his heart towards the other party, gritting his teeth with hatred.
Sithu Changkong and Ando Quan, the two of them, let out a long sigh. At this point, they were completely at a loss, unsure what to do. They could only wait and see what happened next.
Just then, the butler rushed in from outside again.
Sima Changkong glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong again"
The housekeeper said, “Elder, I just received news that the three major families in the imperial capital have jointly launched the betting odds for the battle at Smoke Wave Lake tomorrow.”
What on earth is Xiaofan trying to do He's still in the mood to open a shop even at this time
As elders of the Xuanyuan Pavilion, Situ Changkong and An Daoquan naturally knew who was behind the three major families. All this should have been orchestrated by Ye Bufan.
Huo Dongping let out a cold laugh: "Arrogant and ignorant kid, he's still unaware even as death approaches. Does he think he has a chance of winning against a Royal Realm expert"
"This…"
Sistur Changkong and An Daoquan remained silent, obviously they also had no confidence in Ye Bufan.
Ho Jian asked, "How was the opening price set"
"That…" The butler hesitated for a moment and said, "Yunxiashan wins, one to ten. Ye Bufan wins, one to two."
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jian arrogantly burst into laughter. Although he had been cultivating in the Heavenly Palace, he still knew what these odds meant.
I never expected that Ye Bufan would set such a high payout for Yunxia Mountain, while I only have a two-to-one payout.lled. He felt a little more confident and said in a fierce but cowardly voice: "Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me. It's your sister who has her eyes on my money. What does it have to do w...
