Chapter 283 A Different Opponent
Master Xiao Yan smiled knowingly and communicated with her telepathically.

"Don't worry, I'll go find someone to place a bet right away. There are plenty of people around waiting to place bets."

How many spirit stones are you willing to bet?

Jiang Wan took out a storage bag and gave it to him.

"that's it!"

Master Xiao Yan scanned the storage bag with his divine sense and thought, "This is too much!"

"One million high-grade spirit stones, are you sure?"
"These are top-grade spirit stones, a million of them! You're carrying so many spirit stones on you while traveling. If someone with malicious intent finds out, they might rob you. Don't tell anyone about this so easily in the future."

One million high-grade spirit stones—even a Golden Core cultivator like myself would be tempted. This little girl really thinks highly of me.

Jiang Wan smiled at him and waved her hand.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm still waiting to count the spirit stones!"

Upon seeing her actions, Nangong Xiang immediately addressed the other Golden Core cultivator beside him:

"You place a bet on me too, I want to bet on Nangong Cui to win."

He looked at Nangong Cui as he spoke.

"I bet a lot of spirit stones that you would win. If you lose, hmph, you'll be in big trouble."

Jiang Wan was actually very curious.

"What's this beautiful lady's name?"

Nangong Xiang: "Her name is Nangong Cui."

Jiang Wan looked at Nangong Cui and then at Nangong Xiang.

"You all share the surname Nangong, so does that mean you're family?"

Nangong Xiang arrogantly raised his chin and pointed his nose at Jiang Wan, saying:
“Although we are all members of the Nangong family, the Nangong family is divided into different classes. As a member of a collateral branch, she is only fit to be my guard. I am the one who carries the pure bloodline of the direct line of the Nangong family.”

I'm speechless. This is ridiculous.

"So that means your blood, if sold, would be the most expensive?"

Nangong Xiang: "Selling blood?"

You brat, you're still as annoying as ever.

"What do we, the prestigious Nangong family, lack? Why would we need to sell our blood?"

As he spoke, he turned to Nangong Cui and said:
"Give her a good talking-to later!"

Nangong Cui bowed respectfully: "Yes!"

This is even more disgusting than the imperial class. They are all one big family, yet they still divide them into different classes. This kind of family is like a big tree that is rotten from the root.

Unfortunately, the female cultivator named Nangong Cui seemed to harbor a great deal of hostility towards her.

The group waited there while the Golden Core senior reopened a new arena.

Two more people approached side by side in the distance.

Jiang Wan frowned as she looked at the people who came over. Why were they all from the Nangong family?

The person who arrived was none other than Nangong Shuyin, who had a grudge against Jiang Wan.

This Nangong Shuyin had also reached the Golden Core stage. When she saw Jiang Wan, she narrowed her eyes.

"Why does this little girl look so familiar? Oh, it's that little brat who's grown up. I think you were only three or four years old when I last saw you."
"You're already seven or eight years old, and in just three short years, your cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"

We really can't let you continue to grow like this!
As Nangong Shuyin was thinking this, she heard Nangong Xiang say:

"Sister, she's already at the early stage of the Golden Core realm!"

Nangong Shuyin: "What did you say?"
Who has reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm?

Nangong Xiang nodded towards Jiang Wan.

"Who else could it be but her!" Nangong Shuyin looked at Jiang Wan with a questioning expression, her divine sense scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and flicked her consciousness away.

"Are the people of the Nangong family so ignorant of etiquette?"

Her voice sounded childish, but her spiritual sense just now was definitely at the Golden Core stage.

Nangong Shuyin had to admit a fact.

"You've really reached the Golden Core stage?"
You were only three or four years old when we last attended the banquet, and now you're only seven or eight. In just three or four years, you've already reached the Golden Core stage?!
Haha, I've never heard of anyone in the entire cultivation world who has cultivated this fast.

Kid, you didn't use some underhanded methods, did you?
"Let me tell you, if you used any methods, you'll be considered a demonic cultivator or an evil cultivator. You'd better honestly explain why you've cultivated so quickly!"

Nangong Shuyin stepped forward, her imposing aura pressing down on Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan frowned, and also stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and stomped her feet, reflecting all the pressure that she was being exerted on her back.

Nangong Shuyin involuntarily took a step back.

Jiang Wan raised her chin slightly and snorted:
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm a genius, do you understand?"
Geniuses can't be compared to ordinary people like you, humph!

Nangong Shuyin's face was contorted with rage; she was furious, she was about to explode with anger.

How can such a little kid cultivate so quickly?

"What genius? I think you're a monster!"

Jiang Wan made a face at her.

"Hehe, did I eat your rice?"
"Only mediocre people aren't envied; you're right to be envious of me."

The old man who had gone to prepare the arena returned and said to them:

"The arena is ready. You may go up and compete. But I must make it clear that while you are competing, you must not cause any loss of life."

Nangong Shuyin glanced at Nangong Cui, then suddenly said to the old man:

"What if we want a deathmatch?"

The old man raised an eyebrow, stroked his beard, glanced at Jiang Wan, and concluded that Jiang Wan was the one who had been bullied.

Shaking his head, he said, "No, this is the birthday of Venerable Luo Chen of my Xuantian Sect, a joyous occasion. Setting up an arena for you all to enjoy yourselves is not an option."

If someone dies, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Venerable Luo Chen and a loss of face for our Xuan Tian Sect?
"If you have any grudges or disputes among yourselves, once you leave my Xuantian Sect, I won't interfere even if you fight to the death. But on this arena, that won't do!"

Jiang Wan looked at Nangong Shuyin with a half-smile.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I was originally going to have a showdown with her. Now that you're here, and your appearance is making me very unhappy."

Then you can take over. How about we go up there and have a match?
"You're not afraid, are you?"

Nangong Shuyin narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.

"Who says I wouldn't dare?"
"Then I'll go up and fight you!"

The young boy, Nangong Xiang, stood to one side with his arms crossed.

"Sister, I believe in you. You can beat her. She's only at the second level of the Golden Core stage, while you're already at the fourth level."

You are the pride of the Nangong family, and now that she's in your hands, don't beat her too badly!

Nangong Shuyin smiled smugly when he heard his younger brother say that.

She lifted her skirt and strode confidently onto the ring.

"Don't worry, I will definitely show this little girl today what it means to be outmatched and have a world beyond your reach."

So what if you can cultivate quickly?
If her foundation is unstable and weak, she will ultimately be the one who suffers.

Jiang Wan followed him onto the arena.

I must be incompatible with the Nangong family, otherwise why would we always clash like needles and wheat awns every time we meet, with neither of us liking the other?

Not wanting to waste words with Nangong Shuyin, he directly bowed to the old man.

"Senior, you may begin!"
