The next day, the Flower Hairpin Tournament began as usual, except that the topic of discussion among the young disciples changed from which faction would win to who could catch the small silver snake worth a hundred gold.
In the morning, all the disciples put up a notice at the door of their rooms, saying that a certain disciple of the Lize Palace has lost his spirit beast Silver Snake. He grew up with the snake and has a deep relationship. It cannot be found anywhere, his heart is extremely anxious. It is said that he offered one hundred gold taels to anyone who could bring back the snake.
Originally, many disciples from different schools came to watch the battle, and there were many people who had nothing to do. They heard there were a hundred taels of gold to get, and everyone was eager to try. Yu Sifeng’s room has not been empty since early in the morning.
“What if we find the snake, but you can’t give us the gold, what then?”
The person is from the Xuan Yuan Sect and has been in Yu Sifeng’s room for a long time.
Ling Long, who was already disgusted with the Xuan Yuan Sect, saw that they had been entangled for the whole morning and shouted, “Find them or leave! Don’t waste time!”
Yu Sifeng waved his hand and said, “As long as we can find the Silver Snake, I’ll pay half of the deposit.”
With his wrist raised, he took out a small flat box from his sleeve and opened it gently. It was covered with a layer of light blue velvet, and on it was a light green bead the size of a little finger. It was crystal clear and very beautiful.
He twirled the pearl and winked back at Zhong Minyan, who immediately understood, covering all the windows with a black cloth and darkening the room.
Strangely, however, another pale green light, softer than daylight and brighter than moonlight, shone out from Yu Sifeng’s hand. He rolled the pearl in his palm, and the greenish glow reflected on his face, and his eyes were crystal clear.
“South China Sea, deep down, the night pearl.” He whispered, “Market value, gold, sixty-eight taels. Take this as a deposit!”
As soon as they saw the Night Pearl, their eyes lit up, brighter than the Night Pearl. One of them stretched out his hand to touch it, but Yu Si Feng covered it with a smile – “If found, the silver snake, before I could present it.”
They nodded their heads and wanted to fly out and catch all the snakes right away.
Just as they reached the door, they heard a man laughing and saying, “Ugh! Slow down! As the saying goes, “You can’t let your water flow to others”, but since this is our territory, we should be the first to find it.”
The people at the back said yes.
When Ling Long heard their voices, she couldn’t help but smile. It’s Second Brother and the others are here!
A few young disciples of the Min Generation entered the room, including Chen Minjue, Fourth Brother Feng Minsheng, and Fifth Brother Ouyang Minyi.”
Chen Minjue is still holding on to the two Xuan Yuan Sect disciples who were trying to get out earlier. “Slow down. Man, you are stupid. Shaoyang Mountain is such a big place, there are so many forbidden places, if you break our rules, you’ll be in big trouble, right? Why don’t we work together? We’ll show you the way, you find the snake. We’ll split the reward fifty-fifty,” he said.
The two men were about to go into a rage, but when they heard what he said, they felt that there was some truth in what he was saying, and they threw away his hand, and said, annoyed, “Let’s talk, but don’t move a muscle. We’re at a disadvantage if it’s fifty-fifty. At least it’s thirty-seventy.”
When he was a kid, Chen Minjue was a gangster who had seen it all, and was as good a talker as any. He then laughed and said, “You’re so greedy, man. If you don’t find the silver snake, you’ll end up in the forbidden land, and I don’t care!”
They hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well, then, I’ll take forty- sixty; fifty-fifty is definitely not acceptable.”
Chen Minjue was about to argue again. However, when he heard a clamour outside the door, a voice said in a loud voice, “I want ten points only.”
The crowd turned around and saw Wu Tong leaning against the door, smiling, and the onlookers made a way for him.
In the second round of the contest, Wu Tong is said to have won the first prize, against a disciple of the Xuan Yuan Sect. Pian Pian and Yu Ning, who were considered the most likely to win the tournament, are now less popular than him, as some people are convinced that he will be the winner.
When Chen Minjue senses that the fish he is about to catch has taken the bait, he smiles and says, “Who is it? It’s Mr. Wu Tong from the Dianjing Valley! Now that you are here, there is no room for us to argue.”
He waved his hand to his two younger brothers, and they walked out of the room with a show of resentment.
The two of them were still hesitating, but they saw Wu Tong smilingly walking over to them, looking at the Night Pearl and saying, “Not bad! But I’d like to know what kind of beast is worth a hundred taels of gold?”
Before Yu Sifeng could speak, the two Xuan Yuan Sect members said, “Why are you asking so many questions? If you don’t do it, don’t get in the way of other people’s business!”
When Wu-Tong turned around and gave them a quick glance, they immediately shut up.
“I’ll take the job. Please leave. Or maybe we can have a sparring session sometime to see who is more suitable?”
His faint words quickly made the two of them leave in shame.
Seeing him so arrogant and angry, Ling Long said, “I don’t want you to pick it up! You hurt my sister yesterday, and I’m still coming after you!”
Wu Tong is stunned and realizes that the two little girls sitting behind Yu Sifeng are the same two girls from yesterday. When he sees the exquisite face of Ling Long and the vile language she uses, he smiles and says, “Is the beast yours, Miss? Otherwise, what’s it to you?”
Ling Long raged, “Of course it’s not mine! But my best friend’s! We don’t like you. Go away!”
Wu Tong’s eyebrows raised: “Miss, that’s not true, of course, this kind of work is for those who can afford it, is there anyone more suitable than me?”
Ling Long wanted to say more but was interrupted by Yu Sifeng, “I know, this brother. I heard that he won yesterday and today in a row. Ling Long, he’s the only one who’s here and he’s the most capable. It’s important to find Xiao Yinhua.”
Ling Long was furious and pulled Xuanji up and said calmly, “It’s your snake anyway, find whoever you want! What’s wrong with me not wanting to see him? Xuanji, let’s go!”
She dragged Xuanji out and around the corridor. When they saw no one around, they both laughed out loud and clapped their hands together.
“Successfully hooked.”
According to Sifeng, Wu Tong is a man with a strong sense of victory and defeat, and looking at his face, he is suspicious. If he recognizes Linglong and Xuanji, he will be suspicious, so he decides to reveal their identity first, which is called “winning at risk”.
Since this person has the victory in mind, it proves that he is a mundane person who will definitely interfere with such a thing. He might have been hiding outside for a long time, and then he came in to make sure it was not a scam. After all, a hundred taels of gold is too much of a temptation for poor cultivating disciples like them.
Now that everything is going according to plan, it’s time for Sifeng to make his move. He will use his secret voice to send the Xiao Yinhua to lure Wu Tong to the trap in the back of the mountain, and then it’s time for a good show!
Linglong and Xuanji looked at each other and smiled. They both thought it was so much fun that they hurriedly packed up and went to the back of the hill to wait for the show.
