Beauty and the Bodyguard

Meng jueguang was overjoyed-he wouldn't have had the confidence to do this if he hadn't scouted the tenth Kuangqu before, but he was sure that Lin Yi wouldn't be able to find anything good now. It was obvious that Lin Yi would be embarrassed in this situation, and the more people there were, the better it was. He yelled, "I'll introduce him to the other disciples who don't know what's going on. This is our GreenCloud Pavilion's new disciple, Lin Yi. He promised us that he'll be able to dig out some good Jade from the tenth Kuangqu today. If you don't have anything else to do, you can come and witness it!"

"You can dig out good Jade from the tenth Kuangqu? Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?" The other people who were attracted over immediately sneered.

"That might not be the case! Didn't you say that someone dug out a lot of good Jade from the tenth Kuangqu a few days ago? could it be this guy?" Someone in the crowd retorted.

Meng jueguang turned to the man and laughed disdainfully."Then, do you want to make a bet with me? If Lin Yi gets more than three pieces of good Jade today, I'll lose ten spiritual jades to you. But if he doesn't get three, you don't have to give me ten spiritual jades, just five-oh no, three will do! How was it? Do you dare to make this bet?"

"I, I don't want to bet." The man backed off-he'd only heard about Lin Yi's success in Kuangqu area ten, and he didn't dare bet his hard-earned money on something like that.

"Tsk! Since you don't have the guts, why are you clamoring, you coward!" Meng jueguang sneered, causing the man's face to turn red. He then pointed to another man and shouted,"You! From your expression, you seem to believe that Lin Yi will be able to dig out a good piece of Jade. Do you want to bet with me?"

"I wouldn't dare ..." The man pointed at by Meng jueguang quickly shrank his neck, causing the others around him to burst into laughter.

Meng jueguang's mouth twitched in disdain, and then he pointed at the others."You! You! And you! Do you dare to bet with me? Three Yuan and you can win ten Yuan, it's a rare opportunity, but you won't get it once you pass this village!"

The people Meng jueguang had pointed out all cowered in fear, not daring to make a sound.

What a joke! For people like them who worked hard mining, they could only earn three spiritual jades after a month's hard work. Who would be so stupid to spend a month's hard-earned money on a stranger like Lin Yi?! Digging out more than three pieces of good Jade in the tenth Kuangqu, this kind of bet that was obviously a sure-lose, whoever agreed would definitely be an idiot!

"A bunch of balls-less cowards!" Meng jueguang looked around smugly, and his eyes finally fell on two people. He said jokingly,"Xiao ran, Qiao hongcai, aren't you two Lin Yi's supporters? don't you want to bet too? Could it be that you're looking down on your boss Lin Yi and want to turn to Meng Tong now? Although it's unpleasant to hear, it's a wise choice. I won't stop you!"

After being called out by Meng jueguang in public, everyone's eyes instantly focused on the two of them. Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai were suddenly at a loss.

The two didn't sign up for Kuangqu area, so they wouldn't appear here under normal circumstances. Meng jueguang had specifically asked Meng Tong to call them over so that they could witness Lin Yi's tragic state. To put it bluntly, it was a warning to the monkeys!

Since this was the order of their big senior brother, Meng jueguang, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai didn't dare to disobey. Besides, Lin Yi's incident in the Kuangqu had been a hot topic these days. As the saying went,"seeing is better than hearing." As Lin Yi's gang, it was reasonable for them to come and care about Lin Yi's situation, but they didn't expect this to happen!

Meng Jue was forcing the two of them to make a stand in front of everyone-it'd be embarrassing if they cowered like the others and said they didn't want to bet, and it'd chill Lin Yi and even their Shixiong's heart!

It was all thanks to Lin Yi that the two of them could have their cultivation homes. If they didn't stand up and support Lin Yi now, they'd be an ingrate! Was he really going to join Meng Tong's sect as Meng jueguang had said?

However, they didn't have the capital to make a bet. Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai only had two pieces of spiritual Jade in total, and that was the one that Meng Jue had given them previously. They had almost used up all the spiritual Qi in the world. If they lost the bet and couldn't take out the spiritual Jade, wouldn't they be giving themselves up to be threatened? When that time came, no matter how Meng jueguang wanted to deal with them, they wouldn't be able to say a single word of complaint!

Plus, judging from Lin Yi's current situation, if he agreed to this bet, he would lose for sure. There was no chance of him getting lucky at all!

He didn't have the capital to gamble! If you don't gamble, you'll be ungrateful!

For a moment, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai were in a dilemma.

Meng Tong chuckled as the crowd looked on with a half-smile,"Although both of you are trash and even your eyes are stupid, but for the sake of being brothers and for ninth cousin's face, I can reluctantly accept you. In the future, just be more diligent and bring me tea every day! Wahahaha!"

Bring tea and water? This was something a manservant should do! As Sky Class Masters, they were respected by everyone outside-they wouldn't just be servants, not to mention that there was no way they'd ever make peace with Meng Tong!

The whole Hall burst into laughter. Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai's faces turned red instantly. They wanted to refute, but they didn't know what to say. After all, they didn't have spiritual Jade on hand. Even if they wanted to fight, they didn't have the confidence.

Seeing that they were about to be humiliated, Xiao ran and Qiao Hong were about to clench their teeth and endure the humiliation when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside,""You guys bet with him. If you lose, I'll pay for the spiritual Jade."

The crowd suddenly burst into a commotion. After seeing the face of the person who had come, Xiao ran and Qiao Hong were overjoyed, while Meng jueguang's face suddenly turned gloomy."I was wondering who was so boastful. So it's the miserable Junior Brother!"

The miserable senior brother walked over and said to Meng jueguang,""Senior brother Meng, it shouldn't be a problem for me to pay for the spiritual jades they made a bet with you, right?"

Meng jueguang was immediately amused. He curled his lips and laughed."Of course, no problem. Since Junior Brother is so eager to give me spirit Jade, I'm more than happy! But no matter what, you're still a Senior Steward. Since you're going to step forward to be their backing, a 3:10 bet is too low! How about this, I'll take care of you this time. The odds are five to fifteen. You just have to pay five pieces of spirit Jade for them, and if you win, you'll get fifteen pieces of spirit Jade. How about it?" (To be continued.)
