Cult Leader Gou: Even if I’m a sister-in-law, I’ll be #1

Things were finally livening up at the Martial Arts Conference.

“Next match is Tang Nuo from the Nine Underworld Tower versus Si Tubai from the Southern Sword Sect! Place your bets!” 

“Who should I pick?”

“Tang Nuo is the youngest child of the Nine Underworld Tower’s Sect Master! Although he didn’t participate in the conference 5 years ago for some reason, he must have received a true inheritance! He’s a notable personage on Bai Xiaosheng’s Ranking of Heroes and his odds of winning seems good.”

“And I heard Tang gongzi is, well, not so gifted. At least compared to his elder brothers and Senior Brother, there’s nothing special about him and he is often chastised by Sect Master Tang.

On the other hand, Si Tubai is also a Sect Master’s son but his track record is much better. I heard he is quite talented and his sword dao is of the same origin as Sect Master Si Tu. He definitely won’t be weak. I’ve also seen his performance from 5 years ago. He may not be as remarkable as his Senior Brother, but he had the heroic spirit. I’m sure he has improved over the years. My bet will be on him!” 

“There’s still a short while before betting is closed for the round. Heroes who still haven’t placed a bet, make haste!”

The sounds of excitement from outside reached all the way inside the arena.

Si Tubai was fanning Gou Liang while looking around bitterly, “Senior brothers and sisters, I can understand the skepticism of outsiders, but Tang Nuo has never been able to beat me before. This kind of bet that’s sure to make money, you guys should at least show me some support.”

Gou Liang was sleeping soundly, using Yue Qian’s arm as a pillow. The wind blew and stray strands of his hair fell on his face. Yue Qian saw this and helped him tuck them behind his ears. He completely ignored his third junior brother’s complaints.

Cao Gengwu, however, chuckled, “All my wealth is managed by your sister-in-law. I really have no money at hand.”

Si Tubai didn’t believe him. Lin Xiuniang smiled and said, “We all believe you will win. Not to mention…” She glanced at Gou Liang who was fast asleep and ended up whispering, “Earlier, Junior Sister wheedled 100 taels of silver out of Master and placed it on you.”

Si Tubai was finally appeased.

He went up, full of confidence, but out of his expectations, it was a close battle! 

His sword was fast; and luckily fast enough. Otherwise, in the situation where he could neither see Tang Nuo’s concealed weapon nor understand the trajectory of his attacks, he would’ve ended up in an even more miserable state.

Gou Liang opened his eyes. He looked at the two people on stage engaged in a cycle of defensive and offense, and furrowed his brow.

“What’s wrong?”

Yue Qian asked. 

“Who do you think will win this round?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Even Yue Qian couldn’t see through Tang Nuo’s moves or his concealed weapon, showing just how impressive this hidden ace up his sleeve was.

Gou Liang sneered. He took a sip of water and leaned in beside Yue Qian’s ear. “His ‘concealed weapon’ is the wind. It’s the first style in the ‘Nine Dark Arts’…though, sadly, he’s only imitating it at best. If your third junior brother could outlast his opponent’s reserve of internal force, victory is at hand.”
