Chapter 5151: Accidentally falling for it

Translator: 549690339

Wu Zhiyi’s mouth was wide open as he stood there in a daze. He stood behind Ling Chuxi and did not see that the great pure Dao heart furnace was as good as before, but just by looking at Xu Ziqing’s excited look, he knew that Ling Chuxi was not lying.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“How is that possible? Xu Ziqing had invited so many armament Masters to help him but was still unable to fix the pill furnace, but Ling Chuxi actually managed to fix it. Her armament refining skills are actually above Zhan Tianhong!” Wu Zhiyi’s face turned red.

Just a moment ago, he was still doubting Ling Chuxi’s ability to repair the pill furnace and why she was hiding in the equipment refining room and dawdling about. Who knew that in the next moment, someone would place a completely repaired pill furnace in front of her. Wu Zhiyi felt as if he had been slapped. He was burning in pain.

Zhan Xucheng and his nephew were also shocked and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

“Zhan Xucheng, didn’t you ask me what I was doing in the artifact refining room? Do you want me to demonstrate it to you again?” Ling Linxi said sarcastically. As soon as she finished speaking, she smacked her forehead and said in realization,”no, no, you’re goading me. I can’t fall for your trick. You’re clearly goading me to demonstrate it again so that you can secretly learn my weapon refining skills.”

“Ling Chuxi, you’re talking nonsense. I’m not an armament master. Why would I secretly learn your armament refining skills?” Zhan Xucheng was embarrassed, but when he heard Ling Chuxi’s sarcasm, he was even more enraged.

“Oh right, you’re not an armament master, so you can’t secretly learn it even if you wanted to. That means that there’s an armament master who wants to secretly learn my armament master skills.” Ling Chuxi’s gaze turned towards Zhan Tianhong and she deliberately put on a cautious look, like a hen protecting her little chick.

“Ah … Martial uncle, I’m not talking about you.” Zhan Xucheng then realized that he had accidentally dragged his martial uncle into this, so he quickly explained.

“Let’s go,”he said. Zhan Tianhong’s face darkened as he turned around and walked out.

The other people from the Xu Ming Supreme Manor looked at each other. They knew that they would definitely not be able to obtain the Black Tortoise stone today, so they quickly followed.

Although Zhan Tianhong did not lose his temper, he was almost exasperated. Xu Ziqing could not ask him to stay.

“Wait, young master Zhan, have you forgotten something? don’t tell me you want us to go to the Xu Ming venerate residence to collect our gambling debts?” Everyone was in a state of extreme shock and had yet to completely recover from their shock. They seemed to have forgotten about the bet, but Qi Tian did not forget. He called out to Zhan Xucheng with a smile.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Zhan Xucheng snorted coldly and threw out an interspatial ring. The others had really forgotten about the bet, but he had not. He had wanted to leave quickly while no one remembered, but he was embarrassed to go back on his word when Qi Tian mentioned it without any mercy.

If they really came to collect gambling debts, and with Xu Ziqing and Wu Zhiyi as witnesses, he would become a big laughing stock in the venerable realm.

However, to be honest, he still felt a bit of pain. Twenty million spirit stones was not a small amount even for the Xu Ming venerate residence. The venerable Supreme residences were different from cultivators who could feed themselves without going hungry. In order to have a long history and a deep foundation, they had to have a prosperous population. However, with a prosperous population, there would be more idle people, and many times, they would be more moderate in spending money.

He had accidentally lost more than 20 million in a bet, and he didn’t know how to explain it when he went back.

“Uncle-master, I really wasn’t talking about you just now.” Zhan Xucheng explained to Zhan Tianhong as they walked out of the door.

Outsiders all thought that he was the young master of the Xu Ming venerate residence. However, ever since he had been frightened and crippled in that aspect, many of the branch family’s descendants had set their eyes on this position. Naturally, he did not dare to offend the second elder, Zhan Tianhong.
