Chapter 3743: Intelligence of the Zhao Family

The Shopkeeper was slightly stunned; three million middle-grade celestial crystals was a large wager even for the entire gambling house.

"Are you two sure? You're both betting on Han Lingduan?"

"Absolutely, we're only betting on Young Master Han and nothing else!"

Ling Jianfeng and his companion were extremely decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well, please follow me."

With such a large wager, the Shopkeeper himself didn't have the authority to handle it. He led the two men to the back counter and issued them the gambling house's contract.

After everything was settled, Ling Jianfeng and his companion hastily left the gambling house.

Upon returning not far from the inn, they went back to the secluded corner from before, removed their black robes, and returned to their original appearance.

After completing all this, Ling Jianfei let out a long sigh.

"Father, are we rich this time?"

"Not exactly rich. The odds are too low. Three million only gets us a profit of three hundred thousand."

Ling Jianfeng shook his head slightly, seemingly a bit dissatisfied with the result.

"It's a pity, our Lingyun Sword Sect only has this much money. It would be great if we had more.

After all, this kind of thing is like picking up money for free. No matter how much we bet, we only profit and never lose."

Ling Jianfei said indignantly, "It's all that Ye's fault for being so greedy, taking our Lingyun Sword Sect's money and not even sharing some of his huge profits with us.

Thankfully, Father and I secretly kept some, otherwise we wouldn't even have the current wager."

Ling Jianfeng said, "That person does have some ability, but he's too greedy and doesn't know when to advance or retreat."

Ling Jianfei nodded, "Exactly. I don't know who gave him the guts to provoke the Four Directions Sword Sect and the two great families. Isn't that clearly seeking death?"

Ling Jianfeng sighed, "Tell me about it. Thankfully, he finally left. He's probably found a place to hide and won't dare to show his face again.

From now on, Father and I are truly free. The Lingyun Sword Sect is still ours."

Ling Jianfei asked, "Father, why did that guy run off by himself and not bring any of the women with him?"

"Who knows."

Ling Jianfeng shook his head, "Perhaps his women are too beautiful, making it inconvenient to hide wherever he goes, so he didn't care about anything else to save his life.

Or perhaps those women didn't want to go with him. After all, the Hundred Champions Competition has already begun, a rare opportunity in ten thousand years.

They might even be noticed by a major Sect. Who would be willing to miss such an opportunity?"

Ling Jianfei nodded, "That's true. If it were me, I wouldn't wander the world with him either."

"Alright, let's go back. Today's matter must be kept secret. Don't tell anyone."

Ling Jianfeng finished speaking, and the two walked into the inn.

Behind them, in the darkness, several shadows flashed out consecutively, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

Inside the Zhao Family's main hall, Zhao Xingfeng stood cautiously with his head bowed before Zhao Qinglian.

"Elder, I failed to bring back the nine nether blood lotus. Please punish me."

Zhao Qinglian's expression was gloomy, "What exactly happened? You couldn't even handle such a small matter?"

"It's all that Ye's fault…"

Recalling Ye Bufan, Zhao Xingfeng gritted his teeth in hatred, recounting the entire incident from beginning to end.

"Elder, I was about to get the nine nether blood lotus, but that Ye Bufan jumped out and caused me trouble.

That guy is truly despicable. He simply doesn't put my Zhao Family in his eyes. He must be cut into a thousand pieces!"

As the two were speaking, a Black-Clothed Man walked in from outside.

These past few days, Zhao Qinglian had tasked Zhao Xingkong with tracking Ye Bufan, and this Black-Clothed Man was one of his capable subordinates.

"Elder, Young Master asked me to report an important situation to you."

"Speak!"

Zhao Xingfeng was also a Core Disciple of the Zhao Family, so Zhao Qinglian did not ask him to step down.

"It's like this: just now, Ye Bufan attended the Star Plucking Tower's auction…"

The Black-Clothed Man had always been responsible for the Zhao Family's intelligence work. He spoke concisely, knowing what to say and what not to say, and quickly recounted the entire incident.

Zhao Xingfeng angrily said, "This Ye doesn't put our Zhao Family in his eyes, and now he's provoked the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family. Is this guy crazy? He truly doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!"

Zhao Qinglian frowned slightly. He had personally seen Ye Bufan today. During the group stage, everything seemed to be well-planned, not like an impulsive person.

Now, an auction had provoked three major forces, there must be a reason behind it.

He asked, "Have you found out why that guy did this? What was his purpose?"

The Black-Clothed Man said respectfully, "Young Master Xingkong also felt something was off and immediately sent people to investigate.

The specific situation isn't clear, but after that guy went there, the Star Plucking Tower added two void flying snow to the auction.

After the auction, Ye Bufan didn't leave directly but met with Grand Manager Miao Jiuxi again.

Based on these deductions, those two void flying snow were very likely brought by him for auction, which is why he successively raised the price twice, offending the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family."

"If that's the case, it makes sense."

Zhao Qinglian nodded, while also internally shocked, wondering where Ye Bufan had obtained these two treasures.

"Where is that guy now? Where did he go?"

The Black-Clothed Man said, "He has already left Yuangu City, leaving very hastily, looking somewhat flustered."

"So that guy ran away?"

Zhao Xingfeng's eyes immediately gleamed with excitement. If Ye Bufan were in Yuangu City, their Zhao Family wouldn't dare to touch him.

But once he left, his death was certain.

Zhao Qinglian always felt something was off, "He just left like that? Does that mean he's not participating in the Hundred Champions Competition anymore?"

"Elder, isn't that normal?"

Zhao Xingfeng said, "He's just a small Great Luo Immortal. Once he faces Han Lingduan, he has no hope of winning, and he might not even keep his life.

Now that he has the nine nether blood lotus, plus so many celestial crystals, he must be looking for a place to hide.

He probably had this plan long ago, otherwise, how would he have the courage to offend our Zhao Family, the Han Family, and the Four Directions Sword Sect?

I can guarantee that after this guy leaves, he will immediately find a place to hide and won't dare to show his face for ten or eight years."

Zhao Qinglian stroked his beard, feeling that what Zhao Xingfeng said made sense, but he still felt a little uneasy inside.

At this moment, the Black-Clothed Man added, "Oh, and Grand Manager also has one more thing to report to you.

After Ye Bufan escaped, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sword Sect, Ling Jianfeng, and his son went to our family's gambling house…"

To avenge himself, Zhao Xingkong had been closely monitoring Ye Bufan's movements after the group stage.

The Zhao Family had many experts and ample manpower, so they also kept an eye on those around Ye Bufan, with informants stationed around the inn.

It was precisely because of this that every move of Ling Jianfeng and Ling Jianfei, including their subsequent conversations, was clearly heard and observed.

Now, through the Black-Clothed Man's relay, everything was told exactly as it happened.

After listening, Zhao Qinglian's last trace of doubt vanished, "His subordinates are coming to our gambling house to place bets, so it seems that guy really ran away."

Zhao Xingfeng said, "Elder, Ye Bufan ran away and won't show up for the Hundred Champions Competition, so he'll be directly judged as losing.

Those two guys bet three million in our gambling house. Doesn't that mean we have to give them three hundred thousand for free?"
