Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1351: Goodness and Wickedness



Chapter 1351: Goodness and Wickedness

Le Tian sighed with a smile. “Sigh, how would I know that she would come? But that’s fine. Accidents are a part of the gamble and the best part too. Won’t we be fine as long as we involve her?”

“What are you on about? Junior sister Ruan will gamble with you?”

“Hehe, trust me. There are neither people who don’t like gambling in the world nor people who never gamble. Get ready. The gamble is about to begin very soon.”

Le Tian cleared his throat. “I was tasked with this, so I hope you can respect that, junior sister. The entrance test has always been about eliminating the inferior. You don’t have to worry either. Massacres won’t happen. The Myriad sect is still an orthodox sect after all, so how can I just disregard that? I can guarantee you that as long as they can make it out of the mountain, I’ll gift a piece of magnetic ferrum to every single person so that they’re guaranteed to pass the test.”

“Alright then!”

Ruan Yaozhu sighed. This was all she was capable of. The rules of the Myriad sect forbade them from interfering with the tasks of other direct disciples unless there was a good reason. Hopefully, the situation would not turn out too horrendously.

Pi Yangqiu blinked his eyes. “Oh my, junior brother Le, what makes you so confident that you can win against us this time?”

Ren Aoyou said, “Tell me, what are we gambling on this time?”

Leng Yuan said nothing as if he was in thought.

“You must have guessed around with your intelligence, seniors and juniors. It’s very simple. We’ll gamble on the first, second, and third place this time. None of us know any of the people here. The information I possess is no different from you. For the sake of absolute fairness, so that no one gets cheated, the odds will be determined by what we wager.”

Pi Yangqiu said in thought, “If we go with that, the strongest person will obviously place first. However, Magnetic Field mountain has drastically levelled out everyone’s differences. It’s added countless other factors to consider.”

Ren Aoyou said, “Hmph, even under the influence of Magnetic Field mountain, Soul Nascence cultivators are still Soul Nascence cultivators. How can they be threatened by others? These factors aren’t worth considering at all. The person who places first will definitely be among them.”

Leng Yuan said, “I know.”

“That’s correct. If they all mess up out of carelessness, what’re they still cultivating for?” Le Tian smiled. “If you’ve made up your mind, then let’s place our wagers! We’ll go with the same rules as before. Junior sister Ruan, are you really not going to join in?”

The four of them deliberated at first and made their choices before tossing out great handfuls of Green Jade bookmarks. Every single Green Jade bookmark represented a tremendous amount of resources. In comparison, the bit of magnetic ferrum he would be offering up to ensure all the cultivators that emerged from the mountains would pass was basically spare change.

Even as a direct disciple as well, such a hearty gamble made Ruan Yaozhu’s heartbeat speed up slightly as she watched on from the side. She was unable to understand exactly why these men would do something like that.

By the time the truth was unravelled, there were a total of five choices, and the four of them actually chose completely different people. Three pairs of eyes gathered on the name that Le Tian had chosen at the same time before all frowning. They wondered whether they had missed something or not.

Ruan Yaozhu said in surprise, “Li Qingshan!” Then she questioned in doubt, “Why?”

That was exactly what the three of them wanted to ask too.

Le Tian smiled. “He’s a kid of unknown origins. Don’t you know? I love betting on the dark horse.”

Ren Aoyou said, “Stop posing around already. Tell us, exactly what part of Li Qingshan caught your attention?”

Logically speaking, he was the least likely to win. Even the female cultivator that no one chose had a greater chance at winning than him. The final victor of this game would definitely be the strongest, most vicious, and craftiest person.

Le Tian grinned. “Because he’s the most wicked!”

Ruan Yaozhu furrowed her brows and rebuked him. “How’s he wicked?”

Le Tian pointed at his eyes with his fingers. “I can notice these wicked people who have no regard for their own lives that can wager everything they possess on the gambling table without any hesitation with a single glance. Sigh, there really are fewer and fewer people like that among cultivators nowadays. It’s all a bunch of overcautious and indecisive people. My luck has come this time. As long as it’s necessary, someone like him is capable of doing anything. Even if he carries out a massacre inside, I wouldn’t be surprised!”

Ruan Yaozhu said firmly, “You’re wrong. He’s not that kind of person.”

“Oh? You know him.”

Ruan Yaozhu said, “I met him recently. I lent him the Green Jade bookmark that he used to participate in the test. I know what kind of person he is. He’ll never take the possessions of others for his own needs.”

Pi Yangqiu sighed. “You probably gave it to him originally, right? Only you would do something like that. If it wasn’t for the fact that I understand what kind of person you are, junior sister, I’d basically suspect you’ve taken a liking towards this kid.”

Ren Aoyou laughed. “Then I’d be heartbroken. How’s that, junior brother Le? You’ve been careless this time.”

Le Tian touched his thin lips, revealing a sharp smile. “Then are you bold enough to place a wager on your choice, junior sister Ruan?”

Ruan Yaozhu shook her head. “I only know he is not a wicked person as you said he was. I don’t know if he can place first.”

“Then we won’t gamble on first place, only on whether he’s good or wicked! If you win, I’ll give all the Green Jade bookmarks I win from this gamble to you. If I win, you’ll pay me the same amount.”

Ruan Yaozhu said, “I don’t gamble!”

Pi Yangqiu smiled. “That’s too crafty of you, senior brother Le. If you lose, you don’t have to pay her anything.”

Ren Aoyou said indifferently, “You act like you’ve already won. Aren’t you lookin down on us a little too much?”

Leng Yuan directly tossed out a handful of Green Jade bookmarks. “If she wins, it’s her victory. If she loses, it’s my defeat!”

“Interesting. Count me in.” “Me too!”

Immediately, the amount wagered doubled yet again. The value it represented was enough to tempt Human Immortals.

Ruan Yaozhu became rather uncertain. “You… I don’t gamble…”

The nine-coloured deer suddenly called out, “Let’s just gamble, Yaozhu. Don’t you believe in Qingshan? I’m sure he’s definitely not a wicked person. Who knows, he might have never even stepped on an ant in his life. He’ll never steal from others.”

Haha, with so many people covering the risk, it’s a free gamble! We’ll be rich if we win! Damned brat, if you dare to make me lose, I’ll never spare you.

Le Tian smiled. “You, oh you. You just want to rip me off viciously! Are you aware that failure often arises from false hope in gambles? Alright, I am someone who accepts all gambles, so I’ll take you on!”

Pi Yangqiu said, “It’s easy to distinguish first place, but how do we decide on being good or wicked?”

“Don’t you know who I am? Since I’m bold enough to propose the gamble, I have something I can rely on! And the essence of the gamble lies in the process. If we just wait around here, that’ll be far too boring.”

Le Tian took out a map and unfurled it slowly. It emitted light, projecting the entire Magnetic Field mountain immediately. It included every cave and every person and was so detailed that it even showed every single rock.

Whispers rang out from the map like the buzzing of mosquitoes, but upon listening closely, it was possible to make out many voices. With this map in hand, all of the sights and sounds occurring in the region were displayed before them.

Pi Yangqiu said in surprise, “This is a copy of the Map of All-seeing and All-hearing. Where did you get it from?”

“I won it of course. It’s just an inferior copy, an inferior copy!”

Le Tian’s gaze gathered on a person on the map. He said with an extremely nauseating tone, “Qingshan, oh Qingshan, my fine horse. You better not disappoint me!”
