Chapter 60: Nine Dragons Contest for Supremacy (5)
Just before the match began, I called over Myohyang and the Bookie.
“You bet on Geum Pil-dae?”
“Yes!”
“How much?”
“One shot for the lady. Hehe.”
Cheongso-so laughed like an idiot.
Seeing that, a sigh escaped me involuntarily.
Everyone was predicting Baek Muha’s victory, so why bet on Geum Pil-dae?
“Let’s hear your reasoning.”
“It’s a secret.”
Cheongso-so lifted her head and whispered in my ear.
“Look at Geum Pil-dae’s hands.”
Following her words, I turned my gaze and saw his hands had turned red.
“Reddening of the hands and feet is a classic symptom that appears for about a month after taking the inner elixir of the Ten Thousand Year Flower.”
“Couldn’t he have taken another herb with the same symptoms?”
“Things that cause the same symptoms are mostly poisonous herbs or weak medicines. Would the eldest son of Geumryongdang really take something like that? What do you think? Isn’t this enough evidence?”
You bet it is.
After all, the news was that Geum Pil-dae had consumed the inner essence of the top-tier elixir, the Ten Thousand Year Flower Root.
“That makes sense.”
“Heh heh heh, I’m Qingchao, the third-generation descendant of the Life-Death Divine Clan.”
I didn’t know why the Life-Death Divine Clan came up here, but I let it slide.
It was time to hear Miao Xiang’s story.
“What about your sister?”
“She’s pretty, right?”
“That’s it?”
“Just kidding. Others bet on the White Dragon Sword’s advantage.”
