I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 31 I, Chen Zhian, can also carve my name on the Tiger Cub Monument
Chen Zhian asked Xu Xiyue, and Xu Xiyue looked at Chen Zhian helplessly.

"Could it be that Master Chen wants to use these herbs to break through to the True Essence realm?" Xu Xiyue thought to herself, "Those herbs really weren't given to Master Chen by others, but he wanted to use them himself."

Xu Xiyue was about to answer when suddenly applause came from a distance.

Then a clear voice came into their ears.

Xu Xiyue and Chen Zhian looked up and saw a noble young man's face appearing in an elegant seat on the second floor of the pleasure boat.

The man had a slender figure, snow-white clothes and black hair, with brows lowered, looking at Chen Zhian with interest.

"I was really wrong. I didn't see the real you that day in the courtyard of Qihuang Street."

The noble young man's voice easily penetrated the spring storm and the noisy voices and landed in the ears of the two: "As expected of the blood of the Li family, even though he grew up outside, he still has many surprising qualities."

Chen Zhian looked up and saw a familiar face.

This person is none other than Si Hougui of the Si family in Xuantianjing.

Si Hougui was very excited, and even had some surprise in his eyes: "Chen Zhian, you can deceive my eyes, I don't believe you are a fool who would seek death on impulse!

I came to Jiangnan this time just to travel, but I never thought I would meet such an interesting person like you! "

Chen Zhian looked up at Si Hougui, who was dressed elegantly in brocade clothes, had a handsome face, but his every move was somewhat deliberate, and he felt speechless.

"This guy is even more pretentious than me."

He shook his head and had no intention of paying any attention to this noble young man from Xuan Tianjing. What's more... the past between the two of them was not pleasant. Just because Chen Zhian didn't talk about it on a daily basis didn't mean that he had forgotten it.

So Chen Zhian turned around and was about to get off the pleasure boat.

But Si Hougui, who was sitting on the second floor, was still in high spirits. He leaned on the railing with both hands and smiled, "It's just that Chen Zhian... although I think you are not seeking death on impulse, it is indeed unwise for you to challenge a cultivator of Zhenyuan Miaoshu with your Qi cultivation level.

You are not someone who can be included in the Young Tiger List, and you are not from an aristocratic family or a Taoist sect. The Qi-nourishing Technique that you have cultivated in an unconventional way can easily kill you with a hammer, not to mention practitioners at the True Yuan realm, even the Qi-nourishing warriors from aristocratic families and mansions.

If you think about it carefully, this is because of your narrow vision, which made you misjudge yourself and the True Yuan cultivators. "

When Chen Zhian heard this, he suddenly became interested and looked up to ask, "Mr. Si San, can the people on the Young Tiger List kill with their true essence by nourishing their qi?"

Si Hougui raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You showed me a good show today, which made me not so bored. It's okay for me to answer you."

"Although the tiger cub is young, it is still the king of beasts and has its own extraordinary qualities. Those who have been awarded the tiger cub monument are all top-notch figures of the younger generation. It is not impossible for them to kill ordinary true essences with their peak Qi cultivation."

"Do you know me, Dayu Kuixing? He was once the top one on the Young Tiger List. He obtained the magical power of the lower Dao. He once killed Yuque with his innate power. And it was not just any Yuque. From this, we can know what a genius the person whose name is engraved on the Young Tiger Monument is."

"Praising yourself?" Chen Zhian shook his head and suddenly remembered the principle he adhered to very much.

——When you meet a fool, make something from him.

Then Chen Zhian suddenly smiled. He looked up at Si Hougui, ignoring Xu Xiyue's strange look, and said, "Since Third Young Master Si has seen a good show, why not add some excitement to it?"

Si Hougui looked at Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian said, "Mr. Si San is the person whose name is engraved on the Young Tiger Monument. He must be very accurate in judging people, but I, Chen Zhian, just don't believe in evil. How about this... I will also make a bet with Mr. Si San. In the fight to the death in seven days, if I win, Mr. Si San can give me some prizes."

Si Hougui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will just die." Chen Zhian said calmly, "Mr. Si San will be very happy to see me die. If I die, it will be a big bonus for Mr. Si San. I think it will make him happy for several days."

Xu Xiyue's eyes wandered between Chen Zhian and Si Hougui. She didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but she vaguely guessed Si Hougui's identity from their conversation.

"There aren't many people with the surname Si in Dayu. The only one with the surname Si and whose name is on the Young Tiger Monument is the descendant of Si Yuanyan, the Marquis of Buddha's slayer... This Third Young Master Si is from the Si family." "But Young Master Chen has lived on Qihuang Street since he was a child. How did he get entangled with the young tiger of the Si family in the capital?"

Xu Xiyue thought secretly.

After hearing what Chen Zhian said, Si Hougui smiled even more: "What you said makes some sense, but... Chen Zhian, I'm not Zhou Xiujing. It's not easy for you to get something for nothing from me.

If you die in a fight to the death, I won't get any benefit, but if you survive by chance, I will give you some rewards? You are really calculating."

Chen Zhian was exposed by Si Hougui, but he still didn't feel embarrassed at all. He said, "Mr. Si San is indeed extraordinary. He is not an ordinary person. In this case, Mr. Si San and I will make some other bets besides this death fight. The stakes of this death fight will also be counted as the stakes of the second bet. How do you think?"

"It's still a free-for-all." Si Hougui shook his head: "If you're dead, where would the second bet come from?"

He saw through Chen Zhian's tricks, but still lowered his head and said, "But... I am quite interested in the second bet you mentioned. Why don't you tell me about it? You were born to leave the capital with your father, and you came from far away to Sunan Prefecture. What exactly do you want to bet with me?"

Chen Zhian's eyes flashed, "Just now Third Young Master Si said... Each of the characters on the Young Tiger Monument is extraordinary. They are true geniuses and prodigies, and they are top-notch figures among the younger generation.

"I am not talented enough to know that this Tiger Cub Monument has only existed for a dozen or twenty days, but I feel that... the Tiger Cub Monument is not something that is beyond my reach. One day, I, Chen Zhian, will be able to carve my name on the Tiger Cub Monument!"

After Chen Zhian finished speaking, Xu Xiyue and Si Hougui both fell silent.

After seven or eight breaths, Si Hougui laughed softly, "It's really quite fun."

"For the sake of fun, I'll give you some prizes. If you don't die, I'll give you a long sword that has been tempered a hundred times! It's much more valuable than the two hundred taels of gold that Zhou Xiujing gave you."

"But Chen Zhian, it would be fine if you died at the hands of Zhou Xiujing, but if you don't die, what if you can't be enshrined in the Young Tiger Monument in the future?"

Chen Zhian said casually: "If I can't get on the Young Tiger Monument, I will no longer be named Chen!"

Si Hougui's eyes lit up, as if he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to humiliate Chen Shuijun.

At this time, Chen Zhian asked again: "If I go up to the Young Tiger Monument, what will the Third Master Si want as a promise?"

Si Hougui thought for a moment and said, "If you can climb the Young Tiger Monument, I will give you a thousand-forged sword!"

Chen Zhian's smile widened: "A thousand-forged sword is too expensive. Why don't you do the same as me, Third Young Master Si, and no longer be named Si?"

-

Chen Zhian and Xu Xiyue walked side by side along the Qingshui River.

Xu Xiyue was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the doubt in her heart: "Mr. Chen, are you really sure you can climb the Tiger Cub Monument?"

But Chen Zhian shook his head: "I don't even know the height of the threshold of the Tiger Cub Monument, how can I be sure?"

Xu Xiyue was very curious: "Then why did you want to gamble with Mr. Si San?"

Chen Zhian didn't care at all: "Let's cheat him out of his bet first. How much is a hundred-refined sword worth?"

"At least three to five hundred taels of gold." Xu Xiyue answered, and then asked: "What if you can't get on the Young Tiger Monument in the future, and the Third Young Master Si investigates..."

"Then I will change my surname to Li." Chen Zhian said casually, "My mother's surname is Li, and my father used to say that he wanted me to take my mother's surname, but my mother didn't agree.

My father doesn’t care, so I don’t care either.”

"It's a pity that Si Hougui only promised me a thousand-forged sword, but didn't agree to change my surname. Otherwise, if I really climbed the Tiger Cub Monument in the future, I would have a lot of fun."

Xu Xiyue remained silent for a long time before she said quietly, "Master Chen, the nineteen medicinal herbs can be collected in three days at most."
