Chapter 4303
“I’m quite interested. Pavilion Master Qian, please show us the way!”
Kai was eager to discover just how many people were placing bets on his victory!
“Mr. Chen, if you see the bets, try not to get upset!”
Pavilion Master Qian smiled faintly and led Kai and Ji Yun to the gambling house where Wantong Pavilion was acting as the banker.
Kai was aware that plenty of people would be wagering on Mu Qing to win. After all, the disparity between his realm and Mu Qing’s was substantial!
As soon as Kai and his companions arrived at the gambling house and approached the entrance, they were greeted by a cacophony of voices from inside!
“I’m betting everything I own on Kai to win! If anyone believes in me, place your bets!”
People were shouting enthusiastically, some even laying their clothing on the table as stakes!
“Mr. Chen, look at how many people are backing you!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yun glanced at Kai with curiosity!
He wondered who in Nanjin City would be such a strong supporter of Kai!
Even Pavilion Master Qian was momentarily taken aback. He hadn’t expected to see someone so firmly in Kai’s corner!
Kai smiled knowingly, recognizing Shen Jizi’s voice among the crowd!
“Shen Jizi, your ragged clothes aren’t worth much, and you’ve even pawned them!”
“Exactly! Betting all your money isn’t enough; you’re throwing in your clothes too? Kai is practically your father—why the loyalty?”
“Shen Jizi, Master Mu Qing is already at the first level of the Mahayana realm and is rumored to be on the verge of breaking into the second level. How could Kai possibly compete?”
“You’re just a con artist trying to swindle people into betting with you. Who would be foolish enough to fall for that?”
The crowd erupted into laughter and jeers directed at Shen Jizi!
Shen Jizi had a bit of a reputation in Nanjin City, and many recognized him as a swindler, making it unlikely that anyone would take his claims seriously, let alone bet alongside him!
“Don’t underestimate appearances! You can’t gauge a person’s worth by looks alone, and you can’t measure the ocean’s depth with a ruler. Kai will win for sure!”
“He and I share a lifelong bond. I know his strength better than anyone. Believe it or not!”
Shen Jizi stood confidently, clad only in a pair of oversized shorts!
Keep in mind, this is Nanjin City, known for its extreme cold, yet here he was, just in shorts!
While monks can harness spiritual energy to fend off the cold, it’s only effective for a limited time. Prolonged use can lead to exhaustion!
That’s why many monks opt for animal skins; they provide warmth without relying solely on spiritual energy!
Moreover, animal hides can be valuable resources for cultivation, which explains why Shen Jizi was willing to stake his clothes!
“I’ll take you up on that bet…”
Just then, Kai stepped into the gambling house and announced loudly!
Shen Jizi turned towards the voice, his eyes lighting up with joy upon spotting Kai, but a single look from Kai silenced him!
Kai wished to keep the competition under wraps to avoid unnecessary trouble!
Although many in Nanjin City knew of Kai’s name, few had actually seen him in person!
Understanding Kai’s gesture, Shen Jizi quickly said, “Young man, you have a keen eye. Bet with me, and I’ll ensure you gain wealth and glory!”
Kai reached into his pocket, pulled out a bag filled with purple gold spirit coins, and tossed it onto the gambling table!
“I’m betting that Kai will win…”
Kai declared calmly!
The onlookers’ eyes widened in astonishment as they stared at the bag of purple gold spirit coins!
Pavilion Master Qian observed this scene with a smile, choosing to keep Kai’s identity a secret. No matter how much Kai wagered, Pavilion Master Qian wouldn’t intervene. After all, their Wantong Pavilion was the banker, ensuring they’d profit regardless of the outcome!
