Chapter 38

A few days passed quickly.

During these days, Xu Wuzhou lay on a recliner every day, a book covering his head.

Qin Qingmou was very puzzled. Why had Xu Wuzhou suddenly become so well-behaved? In the past, when they were together, he always harassed her.

In these few days, Xu Wuzhou spent his days with her in the library, and as soon as her father returned to the mansion, he would disappear.

Another day, while Qin Qingmou was reading in the library, she saw Xu Wuzhou suddenly jump up from the recliner.

"Almost forgot, today is the day I agreed to battle Xie Guangping."

Xu Wuzhou suddenly slapped his forehead and said.

Seeing Xu Wuzhou about to leave, Qin Qingmou quickly said, "Father said you are only at the eighth level, you are no match for Xie Guangping. Don't take the risk."

"That won't do! The first young master of Lin'an City must be me, and can only be me.

You, the first beauty, should match with me, the first young master. That's fitting."

Xu Wuzhou continued, "Today, you will follow Uncle Qin. No one can harm you as long as you are with him."

In these few days, although the Mao and Li families had not sent anyone to cause trouble, Xu Wuzhou did not dare to let his guard down. If Qin Qingmou were attacked and killed, it would be too late to regret it.

"Don't..." Qin Qingmou wanted to say more, but Xu Wuzhou stood in front of her, his hands on her shoulders, straightening her body. He stared directly into her eyes, his gaze deep and serious: "Trust me, wait for good news at home."

After saying this, Xu Wuzhou reached out and pulled Qin Qingmou into his arms.

The sudden embrace caught her off guard. Qin Qingmou could even feel his warm breath on her face, and her cheeks flushed red.

As Qin Qingmou tried to push Xu Wuzhou away in panic, he had already let go of her.

He left with just one sentence: "I'll be back soon."

"Asshole!"

Qin Qingmou, her face red with embarrassment, couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

...

"Ridiculous, self-important, arrogant, and overconfident..." Qin Li, upon learning that Xu Wuzhou had gone to the gambling match, scolded him repeatedly.

This boy doesn't know his limits. He is only at the eighth level, how can he possibly stand against Xie Guangping, who is at the ninth level? The ninth level is a crushing advantage over the eighth level.

Is he looking for death by going now?

"A good-for-nothing troublemaker!"

Qin Li roared. He had received news that the Mao and Li families were planning a major move today, and he had many things to do, which left him in a frenzy. Yet this boy still went to cause trouble for him.

Qin Li really didn't want to deal with this guy, but he is Xu Dage's blood, and he couldn't just let him be beaten to death.

"Qin Yunjie, notify several of the Qin family leaders to come with me."

Qin Li, his face ashen, instructed Qin Yunjie, thinking that after the Qin family's affairs were settled, he would send this guy out of Lin'an, out of sight, out of mind, and have nothing more to do with him in the future.

Thinking about the busy days, Qin Li felt a bit dazed.

At this moment, Qin Yunjie muttered, "It would be best if he were crippled. At least he wouldn't cause trouble, and the Qin family could still support him."

Qin Qingmou heard Qin Yunjie's muttering and glared at him, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

No matter what, he is still family. You should be praying for his victory."

"How can he win? Do you think Xie Guangping's title as the first young master is for nothing?"

Qin Yunjie muttered.

This sentence made Qin Qingmou feel a bit embarrassed. Xu Wuzhou had always said he wanted to take the title of the first young master, and it was all because of her.

Qin Qingmou thought about the bet with Xu Wuzhou. Was he really just being arrogant?

In these few days, she had the most contact with Xu Wuzhou. Although he was always lying around lazily, there was something different about him compared to before.

"Father, is it possible that Xu Wuzhou can really match Xie Guangping?"

Qin Qingmou asked.

"Sister, are you really confused? Even I know that the difference between the eighth and ninth levels is too great. This is a sure loss.

If he wins this, I'll kneel and lick his feet."

Qin Yunjie said.

"Enough! Go to the scene and stop him!"

Qin Li shouted, as he also did not believe in Xu Wuzhou's chances.

...

The news of Xu Wuzhou's challenge to Xie Guangping had spread throughout Lin'an City.

The most useless person in Lin'an City challenging the first young master of the city was a highly talked-about topic.

In these few days, many people had been discussing this matter.

Of course, the vast majority did not believe in Xu Wuzhou's chances.

Although there were rumors that Xu Wuzhou had hidden his strength and might have reached the ninth level, even so, everyone believed that Xie Guangping would surely win.

Xie Guangping had always been the first young master of Lin'an City, and his reputation was well-established.

Despite the recent reports of Xu Wuzhou's various impressive feats, most people in Lin'an City still remembered him as the notorious waste. Therefore, subconsciously, everyone felt that Xu Wuzhou was far inferior to Xie Guangping.

Especially after the news that Xie Guangping had mastered a third-level combat technique.

Everyone felt that Xu Wuzhou was just asking for a beating.

"Old Wang, aren't you running a casino?

Why aren't you taking bets on this match?"

"You scoundrel, are you trying to trick me?

What kind of bet can I take on this match? The result is obvious. If I open the betting, I'm bound to lose."

"You could open a bet on how many moves Xu Wuzhou can last. Even though he will lose, how many moves he can last can still be bet on.

Hehe, the fallen Zhao family is said to have opened such a bet."

"Can the fallen Zhao family even open a betting pool?

Ha ha, are they not afraid of losing their last foothold?"

"So, they opened a betting pool.

The odds of winning or losing are as low as 100 to 1, and the odds of how many moves Xu Wuzhou can last are much higher."

"Are they even daring to open the odds of winning or losing?

Ha ha ha, although 100 to 1 is low, even a small amount is still something. Why not take a sure thing? Ha ha, let's go and place a bet."

"..."

At the gambling site! The place was bustling with people, especially the many young ladies of Lin'an City, who occupied a large area.

As the first young master, Xie Guangping held a high status in the hearts of the women of Lin'an City, being the dream lover of many. However, he rarely appeared in public, so these women couldn't resist coming to see him display his prowess.

Xie Guangping stood on the stone platform, and even though he was just standing there, he received waves of cheers and screams.

Of course, Xu Wuzhou's long absence also made these women increasingly impatient.

"What is he, to make Master Xie wait for him?"

"Yes! I heard he even went to a brothel on his wedding night. How disgusting. I wonder why Master Xie agreed to fight him."

"It must be because of that fox Qin Qingmou. I don't know why Master Xie would like her."

"Yes.

That fox Qin Qingmou should be with a waste like Xu Wuzhou. Master Xie is ours."

"Ha ha ha, if Master Xie beats Xu Wuzhou, that fox will become a widow."

"..."

These women spoke with a sour tone, jealous and envious of Xie Guangping's affection for Qin Qingmou.

At this moment, Xu Wuzhou walked over slowly, also hearing these words.

He felt very uncomfortable inside. Damn it, what is Xie Guangping, does he deserve Qin Qingmou?

What first young master, I'll beat you into the ground today! Let's see if these girls still like you.
