Chapter 102: Bet
Just when Feng Xue was about to explode, Snowy patted her shoulder and stared at Xian Bu Yu with the same indifferent look.
"What bet?"
The smiles on Xian Bu Yu's face became bigger as he said, "There are a total of four tests in the examination and if you are as talented as Senior Siter Feng claimed you to be, I believe that we both can pass to the fourth test. How about we compare who got the best results in each test, the one who gets the better result in the most test will be the winner."
"There are only four tests. What if we tie?" asked Snowy.
"The one who gets the best result in the fourth test will be the winner, how do you think?" replied Xian Bu Yu.
"Fine," Snowy nodded.
"Great! If I win you will let me take off your veil, what do you say?" said Xian Bu Yu gleefully.
The crowds suddenly turned quiet. They just realized that they were used out of malice and immediately felt regret.
If Xian Bu Yu only wanted to prove that Snowy was unworthy to associate with Feng Xue, they will support it wholeheartedly.
But it was naked to the eyes that Xian Bu Yu's purpose was to humiliate Snowy.
For a woman that voluntarily used a veil, only her lover had permission to saw her face. To reveal her face in public, it will be very shameful for her.
If Xian Bu Yu successfully winning the bet, it means that Snowy will belong to her according to the traditional sense of virtue.
They suddenly felt awkward to indirectly become his accomplice in his evil deed.
Feng Xue's face had turned red due to anger. She couldn't watch anymore as Snowy humiliated in public.
But, just like what happened when Snowy was battling Demon Prince Ming, the fact that she willingly accept the bet meant that she had her own plan.
Feng Xue could only swallow her rage and let Snowy proceeded as she please.
"What if I win?" asked Snowy calmly.
Xian Bu Yu was a little bit surprised by Snowy's nonchalant response, but he didn't think much about it and only considered it as Snowy didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
He joyfully offered, "How about I give you 1 upper Earth-rank weapon or treasure?"
"Not enough," said Snowy casually.
Xian Bu Yu slightly frowned, "How about I add 1 earth-rank Golden Core Congealing pill?"
"Not enough," Snowy still rejected.
"You only offer her 1 earth-rank treasure and 1 earth-rank pill to see her face? What a joke," Feng Xue burst into laughter when she heard his offer.
'She was a goddess who casually gives out Heaven-rank Technique and refine Heaven-rank medicine, you want to bet with her with such trash?'
'What a joke!'
"You, do you think you're the most beautiful girl in the world that your face was worth more than that treasure?!" Xian Qingruo fumed in anger and shouted at Snowy.
"If it was your face even a profound-rank treasure had already too much! Don't compare yourself with Snowy! It's like comparing ugly duckling with a great swan!" sneered Feng Xue in disdain.
Feng Xue's words instantly startled the crowd. If what she said was true, it meant that Snowy was at least as beautiful as Feng Xue.
Although they didn't agree with Xian Bu Yu's viciousness, the curiosity got the better of them and silently rooted for Xian Bu Yu's success so they could see Snowy's face.
Xian Bu Yu's heart was shaken by Feng Xue's statements, 'Is she as beautiful as Senior Sister Feng said?' He became more determined to make Snowy accepted his bet.
"What do you want if you win?"
After pondering a bit, Snowy pointed her finger at Xian Qingruo, "I want her to walk naked around the town while barking for a whole day."
'Damn, what a ruthless woman!' everybody shuddered when they heard Snowy's demand. Especially the women cultivator, their face was blushing feverishly.
"You!!" Xian Qingruo's face turned pale and nearly spat out blood out of anger.
"I just want to see your true self," Snowy said while shrugging her shoulder.
"Don't you think you're going too far?" said Xian Bu Yun; his complexion had turned ugly.
"Why? Are afraid that you can't win? Or, are you afraid to let your cousin down?"
Xian Bu Yu felt that his cheek became hot from an imaginary slap.
He got countered by the same reasons that his cousin used to corner Snowy and Feng Xue.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. We'll do it your way!"
"Xian Bu Yu! How dare you!" Xian Qingruo looked at her cousin with disbelief. He ruthlessly used her as a bargaining chip without her permission.
"Don't worry cousin. We won't lose!" said Xian Bu Yu with confidence.
"You must definitely win! I don't need to remind you what will Uncle do if you lose!"
"Alright. Just wait and see."
The two of them were now in the same boat and could only advance and retreat together. They had no choice but to stake everything in this bet!
"It means it's a deal?" Snowy asked.
"Deal!" Xian Bu Yu replied with viciousness in his eyes. "No one can back down after this, are you agree?"
"Are you sure?" asked Snowy calmly.
"Of course,"
"Okay,"
"Okay, let Aunt Master Lan be the witness then," said Feng Xue.
"No problem," Xian Bu Yu felt a little bit uneasy but quickly agree to Feng Xue's suggestion. They had arrive at this point without a way to retreat anymore.
Elder Lan who quietly watching with interest felt a little bit annoyed that she suddenly involved in this troublesome matter.
But, considering that one was personal disciple of the First Elder and the other one is the niece of the Second Elder, there was nobody more fitted to oversee this matter other than her.
She also had an option to interfere before the matter developed in this way, but there was no way she would miss anything this interesting.
She also curious about the girl that accompanied her Martial Niece and even got approval by the First Elder.
She had grown quite bored of cultivation in the sect lately.
She faked her anger and yelled, "You think this examination is child play?! How dare you to make this examination a betting event!"
"We also don't want it but we are forced to," said Feng Xue with a fake "helpless" expression. She had lived with her Martial Aunt since she was still a child so she know her mischievous nature, her anger most likely a façade. So she played along with her.
"Hmph I don't want to be involved in this messy matter but because the agreement is already made, obviously both of them couldn't take their words and the sect integrity won't be violated. I got no choice, I'll preside over this matter," Elder Lan harrumphed 'indignantly'.
Everybody present forced their laugh inside their heart.
'Who is this old girl trying to fool,'
The image of cool seductress from before easily crumbled and changed into immature overaged girl.
There were also some people who looked at her even more affectionately. The young boy who asked the question to her was one of those people. He looked at Elder Lan with an infatuated gaze, iron out his mind to get the place in this selection and become the disciple of this childish elder to get closer to her.
