The banquet came to an abrupt halt, and Qin Xuan slightly raised his head to look at the other party.
The young man in front of him was clearly a Disciple from a small Family, and at this moment, he was staring at Qin Xuan with an excited expression, clearly wanting to use Qin Xuan as a stepping stone for his advancement.
Could this be a scheme from the City Lord's side?
Qin Xuan frowned slightly, sneering repeatedly in his heart.
Yuan Hao shouldn't be that foolish.
After all, trying to deal with him with just a few people would only be self-humiliation.
Just as Qin Xuan was about to refuse the challenge, Li Tai, the eldest Young Master of the Li Family, stepped forward.
"Wanxing, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Your amateurish skills aren't enough to make the Saintess and Daozi laugh."
Hearing this, the Disciple named Wanxing immediately flushed red and retreated with his wine cup.
However, Li Tai did not sit back down; he looked at Qin Xuan indifferently.
"Qin Gongzi, last time you and my younger brother had a bet in the beast arena, you won our Li Family's Spirit Beast and made him suffer the humiliation of kneeling between your legs."
Upon hearing the words "humiliation of kneeling between your legs," Xi Jungan and Xiao Ruyan, who were seated at the head table, immediately stopped and looked over with interest.
"A bet? What are we betting on?"
Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
"Of course, it's a beast battle bet. To welcome the two distinguished guests, several beast battle performances have been specially prepared this time. How about you and I each bet on one?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Last time, Li Miao and Qin Xuan had a beast-taming duel.
The result was that Qin Xuan won.
Now, Li Tai wants to compete with him in beast taming again?
"Oh, how do we bet?"
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Li Tai smiled smugly.
What he worried about most was that Qin Xuan wouldn't bet with him.
Now that Qin Xuan was willing to bet with him, he felt confident.
"It's simple. We each place our bets and see whose chosen Spirit Beast wins. How about that?"
"As for the stakes, Spirit Stones, weapons, Cultivation Techniques, anything is fine. Of course, other things are also acceptable..."
At this point, a sinister glint flashed in Li Tai's eyes.
"Since Qin Gongzi made my brother suffer the humiliation of kneeling between his legs last time, that naturally can also be a stake."
Listening to the sharp confrontation between the two, the others immediately became boisterous.
Many of them were there to watch the show, not caring about the trouble, and now that it involved the humiliation of kneeling between legs again, they naturally wanted to see it once more.
Not only them, but even the Shindao Sect Saintess and the Daozi of Shinto Sect looked over with great interest, clearly wanting to see how this confrontation would unfold.
"Hmph!"
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, his gaze icy as he looked at Li Tai.
This Li Tai, it seems he truly wants to trample him underfoot!
"Good, since you've said so, then let's have a good bet!"
Qin Xuan laughed in extreme anger.
This Li Tai truly doesn't know what's good for him, actually wanting to compete with him in beast taming?
Ridiculous!
The beast-taming methods of the Upper Realm are countless times more profound than those of his Li Family!
Soon, two Spirit Beasts were brought up.
"Two Level 3 Spirit Beasts, the Li Family really put in a lot of effort!"
Looking at these two Level 3 Spirit Beasts, many people present spoke in surprise.
They hadn't expected that the Li Family had gone to great lengths this time to please the Daozi of Shinto Sect and the Shindao Sect Saintess.
These Spirit Beasts were their trump cards.
"A Wind Beast and a Gold-Swallowing Wolf. Qin Gongzi, which one do you want to bet on, and what do you want to bet?"
Li Tai stared at Qin Xuan with a fake smile.
After glancing at the Spirit Beasts below, Qin Xuan casually pointed to one of the wolf-shaped Spirit Beasts.
"This Gold-Swallowing Wolf will do. As for the stake..."
Qin Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a Spirit Stone and placed it on the table.
"One Spirit Stone?"
Li Tai looked at Qin Xuan and sneered.
"What's the point of betting on one Spirit Stone? Is that all Qin Gongzi has?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan sneered.
"Too little? You didn't say there was a minimum stake. Since you think it's too little, then let's add a bit more."
Qin Xuan stroked his chin, sneering, then threw a qiankun ring onto the table.
"How about this, ten High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Even for a large Family like the Li Family, it wouldn't be easy to produce one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Now Qin Xuan actually proposed to bet one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones right from the start.
"This, you..."
Hearing this number, Li Tai's face immediately turned pale.
"What? Can't afford to bet? If you can't, then don't boast!"
Hearing Qin Xuan's sarcasm, Li Tai could no longer endure it. He clenched his fists and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
However, in the end, he still took out one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones to bet against Qin Xuan.
"You dare to bet one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones? I'd like to see how many Spirit Stones your Qin Family still has!"
"Begin!"
Inside the beast arena, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf and the Wind Beast began to fight.
Both of these Spirit Beasts were Level 3 Spirit Beasts, and the Gold-Swallowing Wolf seemed to be stronger than the Wind Beast.
"Could it be that Qin Xuan will actually win?"
"Perhaps the Li Family dared to let Qin Xuan choose the Spirit Beast first because they had their own preparations."
The surrounding crowd kept discussing, and hearing this, Qin Xuan merely sneered.
Does this even need to be said?
Since the Li Family dared to bet with him, they must have pulled some tricks to increase their chances of winning.
However, Qin Xuan didn't even care about the tricks they played.
Qin Xuan naturally had ways to deal with the tricks they played.
Indeed, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf initially had the upper hand, but not long after, the Wind Beast's combat power suddenly surged, directly suppressing the Gold-Swallowing Wolf.
And as the fight continued, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf's injuries became more and more severe.
At this point, Li Tai was clearly relieved.
"Qin Xuan, it seems I'll be gladly accepting your ten High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Of course, if you're willing to kneel and kowtow to me, I can also forgo your Spirit Stones..."
Listening to Li Tai's smug voice, Qin Xuan merely sneered mockingly.
"Isn't it not over yet? Why are you jumping out so eagerly? Or do you have absolute confidence from the start?"
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Li Tai snorted coldly.
"Good, I'd like to see how long you can keep up this tough talk!"
After speaking, Li Tai gave a meaningful look to the side.
A member of the Li Family understood and immediately went down.
Subsequently, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf, which could barely hold on, suddenly stumbled and was torn open from the back by the Wind Beast.
"Rip!"
Blood spurted out.
"It seems Young Master Li is going to win. Now, I wonder how their Qin Family will respond!"
"How to respond? What else can they do but give the Spirit Stones? Surely, the Young Clan Leader of the Qin Family won't kneel."
"Heh, that's not impossible either!"
"It would be good if we could properly deflate the Qin Family's arrogance. Their Qin Family has been too arrogant lately; we must properly deflate their arrogance."
Many people whispered, and at this moment, everyone present thought that Qin Xuan was bound to lose.
No other reason, with such severe injuries, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf looked like it was going to lose no matter what.
Before, it was just at a disadvantage, but this time it was truly severely injured, and defeat was only a matter of time.
"Heh, now let's see if you're still so stubborn!"
Looking at the injured Gold-Swallowing Wolf, Li Tai smiled smugly.
He just wanted to see Qin Xuan lose.
"Really, are you that eager?"
Just then, Qin Xuan snorted coldly, then he calmly looked at the Gold-Swallowing Wolf and the Wind Beast.
At this moment, the Wind Beast was continuously tearing at the Gold-Swallowing Wolf's body with its sharp claws. The Gold-Swallowing Wolf quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage, seeming as if it could die at any moment under the Wind Beast's claws.
Just then, Qin Xuan calmly transmitted a message towards the Wind Beast.
The Wind Beast's sharp claws, which had just been raised, stopped, and it looked over in disbelief.
The Wind Beast had absolutely not expected that someone could interfere with it using Mental Energy, and it immediately stopped.
"Idiot, keep attacking!"
Seeing this, Li Tai growled impatiently.
Although victory was now within his grasp, it wasn't over until the Gold-Swallowing Wolf was killed.
But the moment his words fell, the Gold-Swallowing Wolf suddenly moved, violently rearing its head and biting towards the Wind Beast.
And the Wind Beast's reaction became incredibly sluggish, getting bitten on the neck.
"Rip!"
The Gold-Swallowing Wolf bit off the Wind Beast's throat, and before the Wind Beast could make any other move, blood instantly spurted out, splattering everywhere.
