365 A Bet

When Gao Shun saw Ye Xuan was targeting his only son, he immediately panicked.

"Junior Brother Ye, such accusations require evidence. Even if our two peaks have always had some conflicts, there's no need to frame us."

"Hehe! Does Senior Brother Gao really want the evidence?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan sneered.

"If I really find evidence, as the law enforcement elder of the Great Wilderness Divine sect, Senior Brother Gao should act impartially, right?"

Gao Shun instantly broke out in cold sweat, and he threw a pleading look at Gongsun Shouyue.

Seeing this, Gongsun Shouyue shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

It was unexpected that the law enforcement elder of the Great Wilderness Divine sect, an expert who had been in charge of Hidden Sword peak for hundreds of years, would be toyed with by a young man.

However, Ye Xuan had also gained Gongsun Shouyue's admiration.

As for Gao Tianyu's matter, how could Gongsun Shouyue not know?

However, because the other party was Gao Shun's only son, he chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, those mortals without any cultivation talent were nothing more than ants in their eyes.

Gongsun Shouyue looked at the clouds in the sky, then at Ye Xuan.

"Junior Brother Ye, I can see that Cloud Sky peak's spiritual energy is extremely abundant. There's a spiritual vein on this mountain, right?"

"It's no wonder Martial Uncle Tian Xuan has been staying on Cloud Sky peak all this time."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan took a deep look at the latter.

He naturally knew that Gongsun Shouyue was deliberately changing the topic to suppress the Gao Tianyu incident.

However, Ye Xuan did not go too far.

After all, completely falling out with Gao Shun was not a good thing.

Gao Shun was a mystic lord realm cultivator, and Ye Xuan was not his match just yet.

In any case, it was not like Gao Tianyu's crimes had disappeared. He could find evidence against him at any time.

"Senior Brother Gongsun's eyes are really sharp. You've discovered the mystery of our Cloud Sky peak. I'm really impressed!"

Ye Xuan smiled and let it slide.

Hearing this, Gongsun Shouyue displayed a satisfied expression, and then said with a smile, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I came here with Junior Brother Gao for the Seven Peaks competition that's going to be held soon."

"Will Junior Brother Ye's Cloud Sky peak be participating?"

The Seven Peaks competition was the biggest event organized by the Great Wilderness Divine sect, so it was naturally important.

From Ye Xuan's memory, Cloud Sky peak had not participated in the competition. Tian Xuan himself had always been a loner, and had no disciples before Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan himself had not bothered with the competition this entire time as well.

However, now that he had a disciple, and the system had awakened, it was a good chance to show off, and also earn some possible benefits.

"Of course. Since Senior Brother Gongsun has come to invite us personally, Cloud Sky peak will definitely participate."

When Gao Shun heard that, he displayed a disdainful smile.

Among the seven peaks of the Great Wilderness Divine sect, Cloud Sky peak had the least people. The other peaks had countless disciples.

Furthermore, those who were qualified to participate in the Seven Peaks competition were all peerless geniuses who had been selected through many rounds on their own peaks. Each and every one was quite powerful.

Because of this, the Seven Peaks competition was also known as the trial of the Great Wilderness Divine sect's geniuses.

Even if Zhuge Yueyue was talented, she was just a disciple who had just entered the sect. Among the many peerless geniuses, she was just an ordinary person. What kind of ranking could she obtain?

The weakest competition participant in the past had been a divine mystic realm cultivator.

Some of the more talented cultivators had even broken through to the materialization realm!

Zhuge Yueyue was merely a fourth-level mystic meridian realm cultivator. There was no way she would end up anywhere but at the bottom of the heap.

'Hmph! Since you dared to participate in the Seven Peaks competition, then don't blame me for targeting you!'

Gao Shun smiled coldly, already looking forward to seeing their defeated expressions.

Furthermore, he was going to use his position as the law enforcement elder to make some arrangements to have Zhuge Yueyue eliminated in the first round.

At that time, he would be able to mock Ye Xuan mercilessly.

Ye Xuan saw the change in Gao Shun's expression, and said meaningfully, "Seeing Senior Brother Gao's expression, could it be that you think that Cloud Sky peak's participation will end badly?"

"Since that's the case, why don't you and I make a bet?"

"What sort of bet?"

When Gao Shun heard that, he was immediately interested.

Zhuge Yueyue's loss was already set in stone. Now that this fellow had chosen to dig his own grave, he would naturally not miss this opportunity.

"It's very simple. Let's see which of our disciples gets a better ranking."

"Whoever wins will receive a top-grade earth-rank magic artifact."

"What do you think, Senior Brother Gao? We can have Senior Brother Gongsun bear witness to this."

When Gao Shun heard that, he was inwardly overjoyed.

Was this guy's brain damaged?

In case Ye Xuan suddenly went back on his word, Gao Shun agreed without hesitation.

"Since Junior Brother Ye has suggested it, how can I refuse?"

"Senior Brother Gongsun, please bear witness to this to prevent anyone from going back on their word."

Gao Shun chuckled as he looked at Gongsun Shouyue

366 It's Time To Show Off

When Gongsun Shouyue heard this, he first looked at Gao Shun and then at Ye Xuan.

"Since that's the case, I'll bear witness to this."

However, he was also rather puzzled. Where did Ye Xuan get his confidence from? Why would he compete with Gao Shun in this manner?

Throughout the entire Hidden Sword peak, the strongest cultivator was undoubtedly Gao Shun's son, Gao Tianyu.

Although that kid was indeed a scumbag, thanks to Gao Shun supporting him with cultivation resources unreservedly, his strength had already reached the first level of the materialization realm.

!!

Among the younger generation of cultivators in the Great Wilderness Divine sect, he was the strongest after Hua Rufeng.

Hua Rufeng would not participate in this year's Seven Peaks competition, so Gao Tianyu was basically a shoo-in to become the overall champion.

"Junior Brother Ye, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The champion of this year's Seven Peaks competition will be our Hidden Sword peak."

After seeing Ye Xuan agree to the bet, Gao Shun's mouth curved into a cold smile.

Ye Xuan looked at it indifferently, and then his eyes fell on Zhuge Yueyue.

"Yueyue, it seems like your Martial Uncle Gao is looking down on you. You have to work hard on your cultivation. Give Martial Uncle Gao a surprise."

"Ah."

Zhuge Yueyue knew that her teacher was placing all of his hopes on her.

She felt nervous and pressured, but also excited that her teacher trusted her.

"Teacher, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard in my cultivation and give Martial Uncle Gao a wonderful surprise," Zhuge Yueyue said with a determined look.

"We'll see about that! You only have three months left, so you should treasure that time!"

Gao Shun did not take Zhuge Yueyue's words seriously at all.

"No worries! Three months is enough!"

Ye Xuan looked at the latter indifferently.

After that, Gongsun Shouyue gave a few more instructions and then brought Gao Shun to the other chiefs' peaks.

After the two of them left, Zhuge Yueyue finally could not hold it in anymore and hurried over to Ye Xuan's side.

Zhuge Yueyue felt a little regretful. If she had not offended Gao Shun just now, perhaps her teacher would not have been forced to such a point.

"Teacher, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Teacher wouldn't have to do this." ƒrēewebnovel.com

"I swear that I'll definitely work hard in cultivation in the future and win back the magic artifact if I lose."

Ye Xuan looked at his disciple, who was on the verge of crying, and found it a little funny.

"Yueyue, you're overthinking things. I didn't do it for you."

"Eh?" Zhuge Yueyue was dumbfounded.

However, after a moment of confusion, Zhuge Yueyue had it figured out.

"Teacher definitely did it for me. He's just saying that because he doesn't want me to feel bad."

"Teacher is such a kind person."

Thinking this, Zhuge Yueyue felt her heart warm up.

Was this the feeling of being protected by others?

"Teacher, I know that you would never provoke Martial Uncle Gao for no reason.'

"I know that you're doing all this for me, and I know that it's my fault."

"I will always remember your kindness and will work hard not to embarrass you in the Seven Peaks competition."

"Even if I lose, I will lose with dignity!"

Ye Xuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

He had already placed his bets on her. She should not jinx things by saying that she might lose.

Still, his mouth spoke contrarian words.

"Remember this clearly. No matter what the result of the Seven Peaks competition, just do your best. Don't be burdened by expectations."

"Do you think I care about my reputation?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan got flashbacks to what he had experienced in the Great Wilderness Divine sect for the past hundred years, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

While the system was dormant, his mediocre talent had been ridiculed by everyone in the Great Wilderness Divine sect. Everyone knew that Cloud Sky peak was home to a useless cultivator and chief.

However, since the system had already awakened, it was not impossible for him to help her win the Seven Peaks competition.

'It's time to show off!'

Ye Xuan stood on the peak of the mountain with a smile on his face.

Just then, Ye Xuan turned around to look at Zhuge Yueyue.

"Yueyue, I want to see how your cultivation has progressed over the past four days."

Ye Xuan then headed over to the courtyard, and Zhuge Yueyue followed close behind.
