Chapter 991 Talk
In the end, Xu Chuniang took Xiao Bai to stroll around the floating jade city, nothing to buy, both returned to Gong Lao’s small courtyard.
Xiao Bai around the courtyard around a circle, muttered in a low voice, “This mansion looks nothing special, how come it is sold so expensive?”
Xu Chuniang smiled, “Floating Jade City has an immortal vein, the lot is naturally more expensive, practicing here for a day is worth three or five days of practice in Zhangwei Mountain.”
“Even so, I still think it’s expensive.”
Xiao Bai shook his head and didn’t continue this topic, instead asking about Xu Chuniang’s errand.
“Sister, will it be hard and dangerous for you to work under that big shot’s hand?”
Xu Chuniang thought briefly and followed Xiao Bai’s words, “Yes, a little bit, but it’s still within my reach, and that big man sees my potential, and won’t assign very dangerous things to me.”
Hearing this, Xiao Bai was finally quite relieved and did not ask any more questions.
Xu Chuniang was originally thinking that she had earned Immortal Crystals, and this time when Xiao Bai came to Floating Jade City, she would take him for a stroll and taste the food delicacies of the Jade Spring Building.
Nay, she was unwilling to tell Xiao Bai everything about the fighting arena, so all of this could only be postponed for the time being.
The two of them chatted in the hall, and it wasn’t long before Gong Lao returned from his errands.
He swept a glance at the two of them and sat down on the other side of the case table with a natural look, fished out a wine pot from his arms and poured himself a drink, with an appearance of being in a good mood.
“Did Elder Gong’s errand go well?”
“Not bad, as usual.”
Gong Lao hemmed and hawed and looked meaningfully at Xu Chuniang, “How are you adapting to working under that ‘big shot’?”
“Everything is going well, that ‘big shot’ appreciates me a lot.”
Xu Chuniang looked calm, not the slightest bit embarrassed, “Speaking of which, it’s thanks to you old man, if it wasn’t for you introducing me, I wouldn’t have been able to find such a good errand.”
Gong Lao stared dryly, the wine in his hand was a little too much to drink, but in front of Xiao Bai, he didn’t have the good sense to say anything else, and only grunted lightly.
“I heard that you are now great, you can earn a thousand immortal crystals a month, than the old man I’m not bad it, owe me that bit of immortal crystals, it should return to me, right?”
Xu Chuniang smiled, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Gong Lao.
“Gong old man does not say, this immortal crystal I also intend to return to you, even with the capital and interest is a total of eight hundred and four, the extra sixty is a little bit of my heart, I hope Gong old man do not want to be too little.”
Gong old man took the immortal crystal and weighed it with satisfaction, “Not bad, sixty immortal crystals is enough for me to hit two pots of good wine, haha!”
After paying off her debt, Xu Chuniang took out her only hundred Immortal Crystals and handed them to Xiao Bai.
“I’m working under that ‘big shot’ in Floating Jade City, I don’t need Immortal Crystals, take this money.”
Xiao Bai originally wanted to push back, but Gong Lao smiled and pressed his hand, “If your sister tells you to take it, then take it, she has a good job now, she doesn’t need Immortal Crystals.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai had no choice but to take the Immortal Crystal.
Gong Lao shook the wine gourd, the wine inside was already empty.
He threw the wine gourd towards the desk table and looked at Xiao Bai with a smile, “There’s an Immortal Brewery over on West Street, when your sister took you around the city in the daytime, did she go there?”
Xiao Bai thought back for a while and nodded his head affirmatively, “I’ve been there, A-sister also said that your old man especially loves to drink the wine brewed out of that brewery!”
Gong Lao pointed to the wine pot on the desk, and took out another thirty immortal crystals to hand over to Xiao Bai, “Hehe, since you know I love it, then please bother to run a leg, and help me fetch a pot of wine to come back, it should be the signature Seven Day Drunk.” Xiao Bai didn’t doubt it, took the wine pot and immortal crystals and went out the door.
Floating Jade City had strict laws, very few people dared to cause trouble in the city, whether it was day or night, it was very safe.
After Xiao Bai left, Elder Gong narrowed his eyes and sized up Xu Chuniang, nodding in relief.
“Not bad, only a month and a half, you have been promoted from a Class D Fighter to a Class C Fighter, your strength, is stronger than I thought, this path of the fighting arena, is not a wrong move.”
Xu Chuniang smiled and said modestly, “I’m just lucky.”
Elder Gong hummed lightly, not commenting.
Although he hadn’t seen Xu Chuniang’s bout with his own eyes, he had heard of quite a few related events.
“Why do I feel that you’ve been acting strangely in your last few bouts? It couldn’t be that you’re deliberately hiding your clumsiness, right?”
Xu Chuniang didn’t hide it from Elder Gong and frankly admitted, “Yes, a little bit, if not, the odds are too low to earn a few Immortal Crystals.”
In fact, after a few bouts, the arena party had similar speculations, so the odds for her last bout, slightly rebounded.
“Tsk tsk tsk, old man I really did look away.”
Gong Lao stared at Xu Chuniang with a complicated mood, originally thinking that the other party was just a bit strong, but now it seemed that she was unknown how many times stronger than herself during the same period.
Gong Lao sighed, “If I had known, I would have stayed in Floating Jade City for the past month or two, casually pressing some immortal crystals on you is better than me toiling in the mountains chopping down trees and making incense.”
Xu Chuniang was dumbfounded, “It’s not too late to place a bet now, huh?”
Elder Gong glared at her in dismay, “It’s different now, after you advance to become a Grade C Fighter, the opponents you encounter will be stronger as well, so how can you still be sure of victory?”
Xu Chuniang spoke calmly, “What if I say there is?”
Seeing that the expression on her face did not look like she was joking, Gong Lao’s heart stirred, “Is this true?”
He has always been aware of the fast money in the arena, but the money comes fast and goes even faster, and there are many people who lost their bets in the arena and lost all their money, selling their family’s assets at all costs.
Xu Chuniang did not persuade, only said, “Gong old if you do not believe, you can first watch a game or two, and then make a decision.”
This kind of thing, always have to Gong old man himself to make a decision, no one can do it for him.
Anyway, it’s the immortal crystal of the fighting field, not earn white not earn, she brought Xiaobai just came to Zhangwei Mountain, Gong Lao has helped her a lot, now such a good opportunity to earn immortal crystal, she is also willing to tell Gong Lao, just to see if he believes her.
Gong Lao thought for a while, and finally nodded, “OK, when is your next match, I will first observe a match, and then decide if I want to place a bet or not.”
Xu Chuniang informed Gong Lao of the time of the next bout, urging him to buy his ticket earlier, “This is my first bout after advancing, it will attract quite a few people to come and watch, if you don’t do it earlier, you’ll have to pay triple or even quintuple the price of a ticket from someone else.”
“Don’t worry, I have it in mind.”
Gong Lao’s heart sighed with emotion, more than a month ago, when Xu Chuniang planned to enter the fighting arena to fight for her future, he was actually not optimistic.
But how long had passed since then, the other party had already made some name for herself in the fighting arena, and in time, she would be the one who would be favored by certain great powers, and brought to the Second Heaven, or even the Third Heaven, which was not known.
It seemed that he had done the right thing by pulling her along in the first place.
