Chapter 2473 Man-to-Man Defense

Ye Bufan looked at him and smiled faintly, "What, is there a problem?"

"That… no problem, but I need to ask the Grand Manager for instructions."

If Ye Bufan was still placing small bets, the attendant could make the decision, but once such a large sum had to be paid, not only he, but even the counter staff, could not make the decision.

"Young Master, please wait a moment, I'll go invite the Grand Manager right now!"

The attendant finished speaking and ran like a flash towards the back hall, quickly returning with a middle-aged man, who was Baili Chengye.

Hearing that someone had won 2.4 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones and wanted to cash out, the guests in the gambling house gathered around.

They had never seen such a big commotion.

"Grand Manager, this Young Master wishes to cash out his winnings."

The attendant said, introducing the two.

Ye Bufan flicked the contract in his hand, "Any problem?"

Baili Chengye said, "Are you sure you want to take it all?"

"Of course, this is money I won, so naturally, I'll take it all." Ye Bufan looked at him with a playful smile, "Your gambling house wouldn't be trying to renege or say you can't afford it, would you?"

"How is that possible?"

Baili Chengye's serious expression instantly changed, breaking into a brilliant smile.

He faced the crowd and said loudly, "Our Holy Dragon Gambling House is one of the largest gambling houses in Holy Dragon Imperial City, an imperial property, and we value our reputation the most, besides having immense financial strength.

As long as you can win, we can pay; there will never be any mistakes.

This Young Master won 2.4 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones; the amount is indeed large, but we will not be vague in any way, not a single one will be missing, and we will pay immediately."

With that, he directly took out a Storage Ring and handed it over, "Please check, Young Master."

His declaration immediately won the applause of many gamblers, and for a moment, thunderous applause erupted.

"The Holy Dragon Gambling House is indeed excellent, they're not vague about such a large bet…"

"As expected of an imperial property, reputation first, truly admirable…"

"What a grand gesture, I won't go anywhere else from now on, I'll just play here…"

A hint of pride curved at the corner of Baili Chengye's mouth, although paying out so many Spirit Stones was truly painful.

But the Prince's method was not bad, earning the Holy Dragon Gambling House unprecedented prestige.

Ximen Feng's expression shifted, and her gaze towards Ye Bufan held a few more traces of awe.

This Young man not only had great talent and his cultivation soared like a rocket, but he also predicted things like a god; the opponent's reaction was exactly as he had anticipated.

The Holy Dragon Gambling House indeed paid the money and took the opportunity to run an advertisement.

Ye Bufan took the ring and swept his Divine Sense through it; it was full of High-Grade Spirit Stones, exactly 2.4 billion, not a single one less.

Baili Chengye asked again, "Young Master, how is it, is the amount correct?"

"Good reputation, indeed not a single one missing!"

Ye Bufan gave him a thumbs-up, a playful smile appearing on his face.

He naturally knew what was going on; now it was about reputation first, and he estimated they would come to kill and rob him that night.

He then left the gambling house with Ximen Feng, and the smile on Baili Chengye's face instantly vanished as he rushed towards the Divine Martial King's Mansion.

Although these decisions were made by Baili Xingkong, he still had to report paying such a large sum of money in a timely manner.

In the study of the Divine Martial King's Mansion, the bruised and swollen Baili Hongjun was currently in a rage.

"Damn Ye Bufan, I will make him die, I will cut him into a thousand pieces, I will tear him limb from limb!"

He had never suffered such great humiliation in so many years, and his heart was filled with hatred.

"Alright, don't worry, I will handle this matter."

Baili Xingkong finished speaking and looked at Baili Chengye, who had just entered, "Why are you here?"

"Your Royal Highness, I'm just here to inform you that the Young man named Ye just took 2.4 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones from us."

"He really deserves to die!"

Baili Xingkong was filled with uncontrollable killing intent, "You go back first, that Young man will definitely die today, and we will recover every single penny of that money."

"Yes!"

Baili Chengye agreed and exited, while Baili Hongjun gritted his teeth and asked, "Royal Uncle, how do you plan to deal with that Young man?"

"What else can I do? I'll go personally and kill that Young man directly!"

Baili Xingkong's expression was grim, "Also, there's Li Miaozhen; I've already contacted her before, and at that time, Cold Sword Immortal Sect will act with us!"

Baili Hongjun's anger subsided a bit, "Will Cold Sword Immortal Sect agree?"

Baili Xingkong said, "Does she have a reason to refuse? We all belong to Tiansheng State; we prosper together, and we suffer together.

Moreover, by killing the Young man named Ye, Leng Qingqiu will have one less trouble tomorrow and will be one step closer to the overall championship."

"That's great, I want to go too, I want to personally cut that Young man into a thousand pieces!"

Baili Hongjun's eyes were full of hatred.

Baili Xingkong waved his hand, "In your condition, it's better not to go; just recuperate at home.

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

This kind of thing is ultimately not good to be made public; we still need to do it secretly. Only Mahayana Stage and above cultivators will go!"

Baili Hongjun sighed, "Alright then, Royal Uncle, you must bring that Young man's head back to me; I want to keep it at home to kick around like a ball, only then can I vent my hatred!"

"Don't worry, I've got everything covered."

Baili Xingkong finished speaking and glanced at the hourglass on the table, frowning, "It's already this time, why hasn't that woman Li Miaozhen made a move yet?"

He knew very well that Ximen Feng and Ye Bufan were very close, and he was afraid that the other party would come out to interfere with his good deeds, so he felt that bringing Li Miaozhen, having two Major Achievement Peak cultivators, would give him more certainty.

Thinking of this, he took out a communication jade slip again and sent a message.

On the Cold Sword Immortal Sect's side, after returning to their residence, Li Miaozhen said, "Qingqiu, you rest well and adjust your state; I won't disturb you."

"No!"

Leng Qingqiu pulled her back, "Grand Elder, the finals are almost here, and I'm afraid some shameless Sects might target participating Disciples. I just feel unsafe.

Please be my Protector here, otherwise, I won't be able to Cultivate."

After saying this, Li Miaozhen's face felt hot, feeling as if the other party was talking about her.

But then she thought it was unlikely; her previous contact with Baili Xingkong had always been through sound transmission, and no one else knew.

She smiled and said, "Qingqiu, you're just overthinking it. This is our Cold Sword Immortal Sect's residence; who would dare to come here?"

Leng Qingqiu's tone was firm, "But I just feel very flustered. You can't leave me, otherwise, wherever you go, I'll go too."

At this point, Li Miaozhen finally understood; even if the other party hadn't heard her speak, she had guessed some of the reasons, which was why she was staring so intently at her.

But she had no choice; she really couldn't do such a thing in front of Leng Qingqiu, otherwise, the other party would immediately fall out with her.

At that time, let alone winning the championship, she wouldn't even participate in the competition.

Helplessly, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Alright then, you Cultivate in peace, I'll be your Protector right here."

According to Li Miaozhen's plan, she wanted to sneak out later when she found an opportunity.

But she didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to sit directly at the door, her eyes fixed on her, completely man-to-man defense, giving no chance to leave at all.

Seeing this situation, she sighed and finally had to abandon her previous plan.

And just then, her mind stirred, and she received a message from Baili Xingkong.
