Chapter 8, The Bet

Lu Xiaofeng and the other two turned to look in the direction of the sound

Jiang Qingxia immediately sneered and took action.

However, the celestial being that Sikong Zhaixing stole was not particularly difficult; it all depended on whether Sikong Zhaixing could recognize the ready-made sword technique that was right before his eyes

She is ranked eighth.

Therefore, just when Sikong Zhaixing was pointing at Jiang Qingxia, preparing to deceive Lu Xiaofeng in order to escape, Lu Xiaofeng would instantly realize that Sikong Zhaixing was lying.

Although Sikong Zhaixing is known as the King of Thieves, he possesses an exceptional character

Yet Jiang Qingxia, feeling grateful for Jiang Chongwei's kindness, was also unwilling to remarry, so she chose to become a nun

Jiang Qingxia turned out to be the person in the red shoes

Just half a month ago, in order to defeat Lu Xiaofeng, he practiced somersaults for six months, ultimately forcing Lu Xiaofeng to fulfill the bet and go dig up six hundred and eighty earthworms

As the two merely brushed past each other, Lu Xiaofeng seized Jiang Qingxia's foot, removing one of her outer cloth shoes, revealing a red shoe underneath

Zhou Yi stared at Sikong Zhaixing, a smile flickering in his eyes: "I want your lightness skill"

Speaking of which, he was not the least bit surprised in his heart regarding Sikong Zhaixing's agreement to his wager.

He will only take action if he is willing to steal something himself

He began to ask Sikong Zhaixing to steal the celestial being from beyond the sky, and indeed, Sikong Zhaixing refused. However, when he proposed to bet with Sikong Zhaixing on the art of thievery, Sikong Zhaixing immediately agreed.

As someone who has read the original works of Gu Long and possesses the innate talent of a delicate and refined heart, I have vividly recalled each word of the original text in my mind.

Thus, Zhou Yi used the gambling nature of Sikong Zhaixing as bait to calculate his trap.

When Zhou Yigang arrived at the temple courtyard, he happened to see Lu Xiaofeng, Xue Bing, Jiang Qingxia, and Jiang Zhongwei engaged in conversation

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, Sikong Zhaixing was taken aback

That is so interesting

However, Lu Xiaofeng lamented, "Your robe is too short to conceal that red edge, and naturally, it cannot hide the red shoes tucked beneath the cloth shoes"

Since death is inevitable, it is better to die early than to die late, so you might as well kill me now

He is truly familiar with the character personalities in the world of Lu Xiaofeng

Is it really that difficult? Zhou Yi asked淡淡.

Although their actions are impulsive and capricious, their disposition possesses a certain chivalrous spirit

It is because anyone who engages in theft in this world must feel guilty, and those who feel guilty cannot withstand the deception of others

Then... Xue Bing was taken aback

However, Jiang Qingxia's intention was not to harm Lu Xiaofeng; she merely sought to extricate herself.

Sikong Zhaixing stood in place, watching Zhou Yi's back, and thought to himself: "After all, my lightness skill is nothing remarkable. The fact that I have reached this level relies entirely on my exceptional talent. If I end up losing to you, it won't be a big deal."

Sikong Zhaixing truly pondered while stroking his chin: "I don't know, both of them are the pinnacle swordsmen of this era, yet they have never fought against each other, so it is indeed difficult to say who is more formidable."

Alright, I will take this bet with you. What is the stake?

Are there hidden weapons in the world that can harm Lu Xiaofeng

He found that after awakening a part of his Linglong Dao Heart talent, he became increasingly suited for engaging in these schemes and calculations

Upon hearing the words "red shoes," both Jiang Chongwei and Xue Bing's expressions changed.

Zhou Yi's gaze flickered: "Why don't we make a bet?"

It is you, said Lu Xiaofeng

Zhou Yi said: "The celestial beings flying from beyond the heavens are not the stars in the sky"

Sikong Zhaixing lowered his head and sighed

However, he was unaware that Zhou Yi's talent was not inferior to his own, and in fact, surpassed it several times over

In this way, he cannot incur any losses.

Lu Xiaofeng said with a bitter smile, "I didn't see it either"

When the hidden weapon was released, distracting the opponent, she swiftly used her lightness skill to leave the area

He prides himself as the king of thieves, convinced that if he cannot steal something, no one else is capable of stealing it either

Jiang Qingxia, whose identity has been exposed, gritted her silver teeth at this moment and said: "Damn little thief, take this hidden weapon."

Sikong Zhaixing blinked and said: "Well, it depends on what you want. Do you want the stars in the sky? I could steal those for you too, couldn't I?"

Zhou Yi smiled as he walked into the nunnery

In comparison, is Sikong Zhaixing's lightness skill more difficult than this

This woman is named Jiang Qingxia, and she is the sister of Jiang Chongwei, the commander of the guards at the Pingnan Wangfu.

Jiang Chongwei is the person who witnessed the embroidery thief with his own eyes

To be able to appear silently behind Lu Xiaofeng and oneself, such strength is rare to find anywhere under heaven.

"In any case, I cannot do it. You either kill me or let me go!" After Sikong Zhaixing finished speaking, he shook his head and continued, "I absolutely cannot go to steal the celestial being from the heavens."

Although this is a nunnery, it is not inhabited by nuns, but rather by a female Taoist priest.

How about this: I will steal the swordsmanship of Ximen Chui Xue, and you will steal the swordsmanship of Ye Gu Cheng, and then we shall see who succeeds.

Sikong Zhaixing cautiously asked: "What bet are we placing?"

Then, he laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting"

It is precisely because Lu Xiaofeng and the female Taoist Jiang Qingxia share a certain degree of ambiguity in their relationship

What poisonous eyes!

Sikong Zhaixing's eyes flickered: "Deal."

Sikong Zhaixing closed his eyes, embodying a moment of heroism akin to that of a brave warrior willingly facing execution

However, this woman is actually Jiang Chongwei's wife by marriage

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhaixing felt a stir in his heart. He had already personally experienced the strength of this mysterious young man. Although it might not be as strong as that of the two top swordsmen of the age, apart from those two individuals, this person's strength could almost be said to be unmatched.

Oh?

With the endowment of a delicate and refined heart, none of this is a problem

In Zhou Yi's gaze, a glimmer of light flickered, "Since you say that stealing the sword technique of Ye Gucheng is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, then the sword technique of Ximen Chui Xue, which shares the same reputation, should be equally so"

After saying this sentence, he stepped towards the nunnery.

However, after all, human hearts are made of flesh. A woman who has long been confined to her boudoir, especially in this cold and desolate temple, naturally finds it difficult to endure loneliness in her heart

If I remember correctly, this Xue Bing is also one of the people from the red shoes

She indeed wore a pair of red shoes over her cloth shoes

Jiang Qingxia's expression changed immediately, and she instinctively tried to hide her shoes

"Just kill me now," Sikong Zhaixing said weakly.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng stared at Jiang Qingxia's feet, deep in thought: "Why is there a red edge showing on your shoes"

Apart from stealing, his greatest pleasure in life is to bet with others, especially enjoying betting with Lu Xiaofeng

Moreover, she encountered a man like Lu Xiaofeng

The term "Lingxi Yizhi" is not merely a name without substance

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Asking me to steal the sword techniques of Ye Gucheng is no different from asking me to go to my death"

Thus, obtaining the commitment of such a master is undoubtedly a great bargain

If he does not want to steal something, even if you lock him in a cellar and let him starve for several days and nights, it will not change his mind

If you manage to steal it, I can grant you one request, help you with a task, or assist you in killing someone said Zhou Yi

If it is truly successful, then Sikong Zhaixing would indeed like to ask Zhou Yi to handle a matter

Such a person is, after all, very attractive to women

Zhou Yi said with a faint smile: "Then, it means that the difficulties of the two are about the same."

Xue Bing praised, "You have such sharp eyes; I didn't even notice that her cloth shoes had red edges showing."

At this moment, he still miscalculated

Martial arts have never been the most formidable; the most formidable is the person.

With a single sound of "clang," Zhou Yi sheathed his sword

At that moment, a voice approached them

After all, he is a natural prodigal son, the protagonist of this world, blessed with fortune, and coupled with his outstanding personal charm, he is extremely pleasing to girls

It is indeed Zhou Yi

Stealing the "Heavenly Fairy" from Ye Gucheng is no different in difficulty from plucking a star from the sky

Zhou Yi smiled gently: "What, the legendary King of Thieves, also has things he cannot steal?"

One month later, at this very place, we will verify each other's capabilities

At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly changed the subject: "Which is more difficult, stealing the swordsmanship of Ximen Chui Xue or stealing the swordsmanship of Ye Gu Cheng"

Zhou Yi, however, turned to Xue Bing

Zhou Yi stepped towards the nunnery

Only because Jiang Zhongwei is inherently unable to engage in marital relations, and does not wish to delay Jiang Qingxia, they have chosen to live apart, instructing her not to mention their marital relationship to outsiders. When asked by others, they only state that they are siblings

Zhou Yi's ambition is to create a perfect swordsmanship that surpasses the Dugu Nine Swords.

Xue Bing noticed the look in Zhou Yi's eyes directed at her, and recalling Zhou Yi's earlier words about those who have a guilty conscience being inherently uneasy, she immediately felt a sense of discomfort in her heart

This is a person who has turned theft into an art form and has a great fondness for betting with others. Therefore, Zhou Yi approached him from these two angles and easily ensnared this king of thieves.

However, in the entire world, there are probably very few who possess the strength to kill Lu Xiaofeng

He considers himself to have a deep understanding of Jiang Qingxia, and therefore concludes that it is absolutely impossible for Sikong Zhaixing, under her instruction, to steal that piece of evidence

Zhou Yi looked at him淡淡的.

At that moment, these thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, yet his expression remained unchanged. He then asked, "If you manage to steal it, does that mean I have to give you something as well? What do you want?"

There are hardly a few women in this world who have an untainted relationship with Lu Xiaofeng

Everything is within his plan

Sikong Zhaixing clapped his hands and laughed.

In this world of martial arts, few men do not aspire to be a carefree rogue like Lu Xiaofeng, and naturally, few women do not wish to be associated with him.

No weapon can escape the gentle pinch of his index and middle fingers

However, Lu Xiaofeng was ultimately still too confident

What do you mean?" Sikong Zhaixing asked, puzzled.

The embroidery thief personally took away the eighteen bright pearls from before him and blinded his eyes with embroidery
