"Shut up! Who gave you permission to talk about Xiao Wu like that?"
Chapter 37 Who else could it be besides that old schemer?
Tang Shan suddenly turned his head and glared angrily at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
Although he was furious, he would never allow anyone to say a bad word about Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked at each other, wondering why he had reacted so strongly to what they had said, even though it was harsh.
"Mistress, we were too nosy."
Dai Mubai, being a worldly man, realized that Tang Shan was truly angry, so he quickly stopped while he was ahead, saying, "If you don't like hearing this, we won't say it again."
He quickly tugged at Ma Hongjun's sleeve and gave him a wink.
Ma Hongjun could only reluctantly mutter, "Yes, mistress, it was my fault. I shouldn't have spoken such blunt truths. Don't take it to heart."
It seems that Tangshan has been stabbed again.
He forced himself to remain calm, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and decided not to pursue the matter further.
After all, now is not the time for infighting.
Only Oshka, whose presence was always low, had his gaze fixed on the direction where Ning Rongrong disappeared from the very beginning. His soul almost flew away with her, and he didn't even notice that the people around him had almost started arguing.
With their own thoughts, the group entered the noisy and bustling arena.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were quickly assigned to match sessions.
Jiang Yunzhou rushed to the betting point immediately.
He now carries a huge sum of over four thousand gold coins, a wealth he has never experienced in all these years!
Looking at the odds for the two players, the odds for the newcomer are quite high, with both being 1:2.
Thinking that he would soon be able to rummage through his little stash of money, he was so excited that his hands trembled slightly.
The first match was Zhu Zhuqing's game, and he chose to place a bet without hesitation.
"Hello, placing a bet. Code name: Bamboo Leaf Green. Bet four thousand gold coins on her to win."
When he pulled out the heavy money bag, his face was clearly filled with pain and reluctance, as if he were handing over not gold coins, but his lifeblood.
Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in betting and had already gone directly to the waiting area.
Ning Rongrong simply didn't care about such a small amount of money. She was afraid that if she bet too much, the Soul Arena wouldn't be able to afford to lose it, so she went to the waiting area with Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu, standing beside Jiang Yunzhou, looked at the glittering gold coins with an eager expression.
"Brother Yunzhou, are you placing a bet too?" Xiao Wu asked curiously as she approached him.
Jiang Yunzhou turned his head and saw it was her, raising an eyebrow: "Why did you come along too? Don't you need to prepare for the competition?"
"Hehe, it's not my turn yet!"
Xiao Wu said with a grin, "I saw you walking this way and guessed you were here to place a bet, so I followed to see what was going on. Who are you betting on? Rongrong?"
"Of course, bet on both!"
Jiang Yunzhou confidently assured him, "Listen to me, you won't go wrong, it's a sure win! Do you want to place a bet? I'll make you rich!"
Xiao Wu was well aware of Zhu Zhuqing's capabilities, but she wasn't particularly obsessed with making money.
But seeing Jiang Yunzhou's enthusiastic expression, he became interested as well: "Great! Then I'll bet on Zhu Qing and Rong Rong to win too!"
She took out her empty money bag and carefully counted out one hundred gold coins to place her bet.
One hundred of those gold coins were deliberately given to her by Tang Shan; it's unclear whether she's finally seen the light.
She noticed that Jiang Yunzhou's gaze was fixed on her meager purse, and she immediately felt embarrassed and awkward, her cheeks burning slightly.
She thought to herself: "Brother Yunzhou, what does this mean? Does he look down on me for being poor?" But his eyes didn't seem to convey that meaning!
Young girls are sensitive and easily become shy at times like this.
"Brother Jiang, please don't laugh at me, this money of mine..." she tried to explain, her voice growing softer and softer.
Jiang Yunzhou interrupted her directly, his tone filled with genuine surprise and a hint of envy.
"I didn't know you had so much secret money, Xiao Wu! That's amazing! With so many gold coins, you can buy so many delicious things!"
"When I was your age, I often didn't have enough to eat!"
Xiao Wu was taken aback. This reaction was completely unexpected and seemed to be different from the dislike she had expected.
"Alright, betting complete! I'm going to watch the game, you go and get ready too," Jiang Yunzhou said in a good mood.
"okay!"
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously, "Then I need to go prepare for my match too! Brother Yunzhou, remember to watch my match!"
After watching Xiao Wu leave, Jiang Yunzhou went straight to the audience seats.
He had just sat down in an inconspicuous spot when a feeling of unease began to rise within him.
His intuition told him that a hostile gaze was fixed on him.
This feeling is very unsettling.
Jiang Yunzhou frowned slightly and glanced around without making a sound.
Unfortunately, the scene was bustling with noise and crowds, making it difficult to immediately pinpoint the source of the view.
And whenever he tried to look, the feeling of being spied on vanished instantly.
After his search yielded no results, he temporarily put aside his thoughts.
No matter who it is, in the face of absolute power, they are nothing but clowns.
As long as he can ensure the safety of his two precious disciples, he can deal with anything else as it comes.
Right now, making money is the priority.
However, that's often how things are; the more you try not to be bothered, the more trouble comes knocking.
As he intently awaited Zhu Zhuqing's arrival, the feeling of being watched returned!
This time, Jiang Yunzhou was on high alert in advance.
Sure enough, at the corner of a corridor on the side, he caught a glimpse of a fleeting black shadow!
He narrowed his eyes slightly. It would have been fine if he hadn't noticed, but now that he had, he absolutely couldn't ignore it.
We must nip all potential dangers in the bud.
He immediately got up from his seat and quickly walked toward the corner of the corridor.
Upon arrival, I only saw a corner of a garment disappear around the next bend.
It felt as if someone was deliberately guiding him, revealing a clue at just the right moment when he was about to lose sight of his goal.
"Heh~ Interesting." Jiang Yunzhou sneered.
He already knew that someone was deliberately trying to lure him away from the arena.
To be able to act so stealthily and conceal one's aura so well, one's strength must be considerable.
In a place like Soto, there are very few people with such strength.
But would Jiang Yunzhou be afraid? Absolutely not!
He simply followed them openly, wanting to see what they were really up to.
He gradually lost patience with the trick of catching a glimpse of a figure "just at the right moment" every time he turned the corner.
"Damn it, if you want to lure me to a deserted place, just say so! No need for this weirdo!" Jiang Yunzhou shouted directly into the empty corridor.
Sure enough, as he turned the last street corner, deep in a dark and secluded alley, an exceptionally burly figure stood with his back to him.
The newcomer wore a tattered hooded cloak, shrouding his entire body in shadow, exuding an aura of vicissitude and danger.
Jiang Yunzhou instantly guessed the identity of the newcomer from that classic 'tattered cloak' skin.
Who else could it be but that old sly bastard?
Chapter 38: To teach Jiang Yunzhou a profound lesson
Jiang Yunzhou knew that this person was there to avenge his son, but he hadn't targeted the son at all.
Could it be that they noticed Xiao Wu's unusual behavior?
It's not impossible that he might be trying to warn himself, or perhaps he wants to kill himself?
Before the other party could even open his mouth and start showing off, Jiang Yunzhou preemptively said with a mocking tone, "Old man, you've deliberately lured me out, so you'll have to pay for your trouble!"
The one in front of me is a genuine titled Douluo.
Jiang Yunzhou could vaguely sense the powerful aura emanating from the other party, making him the strongest person he had ever encountered.
But far from being afraid, he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement and fighting spirit.
"Little thing, you've got some nerve."
A hoarse and authoritative voice came from under the hood, "It was indeed me who lured you out."
"Oh? I thought you were going to deny it!"
Jiang Yunzhou curled his lip. "Speak, what do you want? And do you have any money on you? Please settle the consultation fee, the guide fee, and the compensation for emotional distress."
The person who came was naturally Tang Hao.
His purpose in coming to find Jiang Yunzhou was very simple.
Give him a beating, make him admit his mistake, and force him to leave Soto City, so as not to continue affecting his son's state of mind and cultivation.
He wasn't sure if Jiang Yunzhou knew Xiao Wu's secret, but since this person's appearance had shaken Xiao Wu's character and even made him seem to have a tendency to turn away from Tangshan, he had to give him a warning.
He wouldn't hesitate to kill if necessary.
He couldn't kill anyone while in the city; his only goal was to teach Jiang Yunzhou a lesson.
"Hahaha~ You ignorant brat, you're so young and don't know the dangers, but you'll have to pay the price!" Tang Hao's voice turned cold as he slowly approached Jiang Yunzhou.
His steps were heavy as mountains, and his gaze, hidden in the deep shadow of his hat brim, revealed a cruel chill.
