Chapter 267: It Wont Take Long (1)

Lin Shen was puzzled. He sized the person up a few times, but he couldnt remember where he had seen the man before.

He didnt think he knew this person at all.

It was Qu Ke who took a step forward and frowned. Kuang Hai, what are you doing?

Others might not know, but Qu Ke knew that one of the three Xuandu Tokens was originally meant for Kuang Hai.

Because of the intervention of the Military Department, that Xuandu Token went to Lin Shen instead.

Kuang Hai had appeared here at this time and specifically asked for Lin Shen. It was obvious that he was here to cause trouble!

As expected, Kuang Hai looked at Qu Ke condescendingly and said coldly, Its none of your business, Qu Ke. Dont be a busybody!

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the ashen-faced Qu Ke and continued to look at Lin Shen and Shen Zening. He snorted coldly.

What, you dont even dare to admit your name?

How could Lin Shen not tell that this person had ill intentions? However, he didnt panic. He calmly took a step forward and smiled faintly.

Im Lin Shen. Why are you looking for me?

Kuang Hais gaze immediately locked onto Lin Shen, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

So youre Lin Shen. You dont look impressive. Do you dare to have a gambling battle with me? If you lose, give me the Xuandu Token!

As soon as he said this, Qu Ke and Shen Zenings expressions changed.

One of them was an inner sect disciple, and the other was the chief disciple of the upper house who had many connections with rhe sect. Naturally, they knew what a gambling battle was.

Shen Zening couldnt oppose an official disciple, so he couldnt say anything. However, Qu Ke didnt have such worries. He immediately reprimanded him.

Kuang Hai, dont be unreasonable. The decision of the Xuandu Token was made by the inst.i.tute heads of the Military Department. If youre dissatisfied, just go and complain to them. Arent you afraid that 1 11 tell the Disciplinary Department that youre coming after Junior Brother Lin in private?

However, these harsh words didnt intimidate Kuang Hai. Instead, he only snorted.

The sect has a rule that disciples can freely initiate gambling battles. The Nine Yang Academy is also a part of the sect. Why cant I initiate one with Lin Shen?

At this point, Kuang Hats tone changed, and he looked at Lin Shen disdainfully.

Of course, if you dont dare to accept my challenge, feel free to reject me. Ill know that the peerless genius that the sect is talking about is just a coward who doesnt even dare to accept the bet!

You!!!

Qu Ke was furious, but he couldnt refute it.

The sect didnt explicitly mention that gambling battles couldnt happen between official disciples and disciples of the academy. Technically, Kuang Hai wasnt violating the sects rules.

Thinking of this, Qu Ke could only say, As an inner sect disciple, you took the initiative to challenge the academys disciples. You actually have the cheek to do such a thing!

Kuang Hai didnt care at all. Instead, he pointed at Lin Shen and laughed. Whats wrong with that? Hes a genius who severely injured a cultivator master when hes only at the Bright Aperture Stage. How many inner sect disciples can do such a thing? Isnt it natural for me to initiate a gambling battle with him?

Although she was praising Lin Shen, her tone was filled with mockery.

Qu Kes expression froze when he heard this.

In fact, although the news of Lin Shen severely injuring a cultivator master spread like wildfire in the sect, most people didnt believe it.

Qu Ke included.

Of course, the incident might be exaggerated, but Lin Shens strength was still recognized by many people.

In the eyes of many, Lin Shen was no longer treated as an ordinary academy disciple.

They felt he was stronger than Shen Zening.

Therefore, just as Kuang Hai had said, even if the news of him starting a bet with Lin Shen spread, he would most likely not be criticized too much.

Lin Shen already realized what was going on.

Back then, Si Yuanpei had said that the three Xuandu Tokens had already been distributed.

Since Lin Shen could obtain one, someone must have lost the opportunity.

And now, this victim had come knocking on his door.

Its Xuandu Tokens fault.

Lin Shen shook his head.

Even so, he didnt feel guilty.

After all, he had risked his life to obtain the Xuandu Token.

Even if Kuang Hai was dissatisfied, he should complain to the heads of the Military Department.

After all, they were the ones who had intercepted the token, but they hadnt given Kuang Hai enough compensation.

Kuang Hai didnt complain to the heads but came to find trouble with Lin Shen. He was purely bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!

Thinking of this, Lin Shen couldnt help but smile and say, If you want to gamble, 1 wont object.

As soon as he said this, Qu Ke and Shen Zening were shocked.

Kuang Hai, on the other hand, was overjoyed. His eyes flashed with a smile as if his scheme had succeeded.

Qu Ke couldnt help but say, Junior Brother Lin, you actually dont have to

Lin Shen waved his hand and cut him off. He smiled and said, Thankyou for speaking up for me, Senior Brother Qu. However, its getting late. Instead of letting him keep pestering us, its better to resolve this issue as soon as possible so that we can get on our way.

The calmness and confidence in his words stunned Qu Ke

Kuang Hais face became extremely gloomy.

He wasnt stupid, so how could he not tell that Lin Shen was looking down on him? He was immediately filled with hatred. He made up his mind to not hold back when they fought later. He wanted to severely injure Lin Shen. Not only would Lin Shen lose the Xuandu Token, but he would also have to recuperate in bed for a few months!

Just as Kuang Hai was thinking maliciously about how to deal with Lin Shen, he saw the latter turn to look at him.

You said you wanted to use the Xuandu Token as a bet.. I can agree to it, but what do you plan to use as a bet?
