Chapter 135: Mine

Shaking her folding fan, Zhao Luran deliberately provoked, “Of course I dare, even if it’s one million taels per formation, I dare! It’s just that I’m afraid the girl won’t be able to afford the silver then! And I don’t want people saying I’m bullying a little girl!”

To her, one million taels, ten million taels, were just a few pieces of paper.

She didn’t care about it at all.

What she didn’t lack most were silver notes.

However, silver notes were no different from waste paper to her, but to others, they were real gold and silver! Something they couldn’t get enough of.

Zhao Luran looked towards Wen Yuanqian and Li Wenhao. Today, she was here to avenge her humiliation!

She would earn a large sum of silver from the Chu people and crush the useless formation masters of Chu.

After she broke the formation, she would take off her mask and let them know who the person they admired at this moment really was!

And laugh at them mercilessly!

Hearing this, Xingnong put on an air of “who’s richer than me” and said, “Alright! One million taels per formation, who’s afraid of who! It’s not like I can’t afford it! My dad has plenty of silver!”

The people below the stage heard this and said, “Master Tiger, she has plenty of silver, what are you afraid of?! One million taels per formation, we support you! Go! Defeat her and win until she cries for her father and mother!”

“Yes! Master Tiger, agree! This duel is about strength, she’s the one who proposed one million taels as a wager, you don’t have to worry about being accused of bullying her! We’ll testify for you, if she loses, she must pay you the silver! Go, Master Tiger!”

“Go, Master Tiger! We support you! ……”

Hearing everyone’s words, Songbai covered his mouth tightly, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and retort, alerting the enemy!

Miss Xingnong was really too good at acting!

Even he felt that she was an innocent, ignorant, and spoiled girl.

Wen Yuanqian couldn’t help but advise Xingnong from below the stage, “Miss, ten taels is not a small amount, those Three Great Formations are not as easy as you think. One million taels is too much, if you lose, your parents might break your legs if they find out!”

Li Wenhao nodded, “Children should know their limits when they come out to play, don’t empty your family fortune and still not be able to pay, with a few million taels, even a wealthy family could be bankrupt overnight!”

“Exactly, ten taels is enough for fun!”

This little girl probably didn’t know how much silver one million taels actually was, right?

Less than one in ten families in the capital had a family fortune of over one million taels.

Even if those aristocratic families had this much wealth, most of it was accumulated over hundreds of years by several generations.

Ordinary people couldn’t earn one million taels even in a hundred years.

Xingnong waved her hand nonchalantly, “No way! I won’t lose! Don’t worry, everyone says I’m a little genius.”

After saying that, Xingnong looked at Zhao Luran again, “It’s settled then! One million taels per formation! Everyone be my witness, don’t go back on your word then! Alright, let’s begin! After I finish breaking these Three Great Formations, I’ll continue with the Five Great Formations. Today, I’m going to break through all Eight Great Formations!”

The people from Zhao couldn’t help but laugh, immediately adding fuel to the fire:

“Haha, the little girl is really ambitious, go for it! We support you! We’ll be your witness!”

“Little girl, you will definitely break through all Eight Great Formations today! I believe in you! Go, win against Master Tiger!”

Everyone started saying inflammatory words.

Anyone who could boast about breaking through all Eight Great Formations was definitely an idiot!

Zhao Luran shook her folding fan, her lips curling into a smile, “Since the girl is so confident, it would seem like I’m stopping her from getting rich if I refuse! Then let’s make it one million taels per round! I’ll consider it as giving the girl some silver! It just so happens that I have nothing but silver.”

She didn’t expect to encounter the ultimate idiot, today’s four million taels were definitely a sure win.

After getting the four million taels in silver notes, she would drop by the various Chu money banks on her way back and withdraw some silver, exchanging all four million taels into real gold and silver to bring back.

Emptying the Chu money banks of their cash!

Xingnong immediately said, “You’re straightforward, sis likes that! I’ll give you a little discount when I win!”

Leaving her a couple of copper coins for travel expenses!

Lest she stay in Chu and never leave!

Saying that, Xingnong continued walking forward.

Zhao Luran smiled and followed.

The two went to the formation grounds in the backyard together.

Songbai was so excited that he almost jumped up!

Success!

He couldn’t help but whisper to Chu Tiankuo, “Master, Miss Xingnong is ruthless! She’s simply inhuman! So inhumane! She’s going to scam people to…”

Sensing a slightly cold gaze directed at him, he immediately changed his words, “Miss Shen is really good at making money! Just as capable as Master! You two are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven, the student surpasses the master, hehe.”

✿✿✿

This money-making method was truly surpassing the master, equally inhuman, equally ruthless, equally merciless!

So inhuman!

Chu Tiankuo withdrew his gaze and walked towards the direction Xingnong had left.

Songbai hurriedly followed.

Everyone also followed to watch the excitement.

The Three Great Formations were set up in the backyard.

The formation grounds in the backyard were very large, with high viewing platforms set up around them for the convenience of the guests.

The Three Great Formations were arranged on an open ground, one was the Boulder Formation, one was the Stone Forest Formation, and one was the Peach Blossom Formation.

The Peach Blossom Formation was designed by Old Master Tang.

Old Master Tang had a special fondness for peach blossoms.

The peach blossoms in this formation bloomed all year round.

Xingnong chose the Peach Blossom Formation first.

Naturally, Zhao Luran would choose whatever Xingnong chose, so she could see if she had any real skill.

The two entered the Peach Blossom Formation one after the other.

As soon as they entered the peach grove, pink petals fluttered down, creating a beautiful scene that was captivating and enchanting, causing one to lose themselves in this beautiful rain of flowers for a moment.

Xingnong was instantly attracted by this beautiful sight, reaching out to catch the petals with a look of intoxication, she walked forward without thinking.

The peach blossoms around her bloomed and fell, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they sprouted, grew leaves, bore fruit, and the fluffy little fruits gradually grew larger, ripened, and turned into tempting peaches.

Zhao Luran stopped as soon as she entered the peach grove to judge the direction.

She saw Xingnong being mesmerized by the beautiful scenery as soon as she entered, walking forward foolishly, and even picking a peach and stuffing it into her mouth.

She sneered: Idiot!

As expected, she didn’t understand anything.

She ignored her, thought about her master’s guidance, and walked in a certain direction.

The Peach Blossom Formation was Old Master Tang’s formation, and Old Master Tang’s formations were known for confusing people’s minds and trapping them.

Twenty years ago, Old Master Tang cooperated with the Changping Army of Chu, trapping their 30,000 strong Zhao army alive in the formation.

But Old Master Tang’s era was over!

Seven years ago, her master had joined forces with the soldiers of Zhao and wiped out the 100,000 strong Changping Army!

Chu had become a subordinate state of their Zhao, paying tribute every year, and the princesses of Chu had been reduced to playthings for their Zhao people.

Now their Zhao’s formations were streets ahead of Chu’s!

Chu would never be able to rise again.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Luran realized that she had actually lost her focus and unknowingly went the wrong way!

Old Master Tang’s formation was truly mind-boggling.

She immediately gathered her thoughts and stood there, trying to find the way.

The people in the audience saw Xingnong wandering around, how could that be called breaking a formation? It was simply a mess!

The people in the audience shook their heads, “That girl is simply messing around, it’s obvious she’s just walking around randomly, a mess! She’s definitely going to lose!”

“Is she breaking a formation? She’s just going to admire the flowers, right?”

“That little girl is squandering money! I wonder whose daughter she is, what a sin! I don’t even know if she’ll have enough to pay after emptying her family fortune this time!”

Chu Tiankuo: “Mine, enough to pay.”

That person: “…”

As expected, she was spoiled!
