Master... Yu Xiaogang!

"Everyone, please remain calm!"

The majestic voice carried a hint of aloofness, with an almost imperceptible touch of warmth.

This highly penetrating voice quickly calmed the audience.

They turned their heads and looked towards the highest private box.

In front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, a dignified and upright figure stood there, holding a microphone-like object.

"Is that... Prince Xiao Pu?! He's here too?"

Most of the audience were from the Barack Kingdom, and many recognized the future heir of the kingdom.

Regardless of the common people's impression of the prince.

His status alone, second only to the king and above tens of thousands of people, made the audience dare not act rashly in front of him!

Lin Ziyi, in the VIP section, also noticed him and was a little surprised!

He hadn't expected that the major shareholder of the Meow Meow Auction House would be here, and also the prince of this kingdom!

No wonder his demeanor was much better than that of most nobles.

In that case, wasn't Tushan Lingling's identity already seen through by him?

He wondered if the prince would expose him and Tushan Lingling's cheating to the public for the sake of these gamblers...

Prince Xiao Pu's gaze swept across the crowd below with authority.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he smiled with satisfaction and spoke again under everyone's watchful eyes:

"The two contestants in the arena are both people I know.

"I can attest that their true strength is at the Soul Emperor level!"

Upon hearing this, the gamblers in the audience immediately showed expressions of despair!

Even a royal figure like the prince had come out to debunk the rumors, what else could they say!

The ten Gold Soul Coins that most people had bet were essentially gone, and countless families would be shattered because of this!

After all, in the eyes of these gamblers, this was a sure win.

Who would have thought that someone would actually emerge to end Ye Zhiyuan's winning streak!

As expected, the ultimate outcome of gambling was always a complete and utter loss!

Just as everyone was sighing, Prince Xiao Pu suddenly changed his tone:

"However... considering that over a thousand people bet on Ye Zhiyuan this time.

"Many of them bet ten Gold Soul Coins or their entire fortunes...

"It is an undeniable fact that you have lost...

"But to minimize everyone's losses, I have decided to return half of the bet amount to everyone free of charge!"

Hearing this, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers!

The sound was thousands of times more intense than when they were cursing the two on stage!

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Long live His Highness the Prince!!"

This cry then spread like a plague, and the audience collectively shouted Prince Xiao Pu's honorific title!

Lin Ziyi looked at Prince Xiao Pu, who had a smile on his face, and couldn't help but clap his hands. Under Babitt's confused gaze, he sighed with emotion:

"As expected of His Highness the Prince, with just a few words, he can kill two birds with one stone and achieve two goals at once!

"Not only did he win over the hearts of the common people through this method, but he also did me a favor.

"This art of rulership... he's learned it well."

Hearing the young man's words, Babitt, being a businessman, naturally understood what he meant.

"So, this Prince didn't betray us, and we can still make a huge profit?"

Lin Ziyi nodded with a wry smile.

Although he didn't want to get involved with royalty, as it meant inevitably getting entangled in politics!

But for his own purposes, it was fine to interact a little with these "official" people.

Of course, this was on the premise that it wouldn't affect his own plans and pace; otherwise, he wouldn't take this so-called favor seriously.

"Let's go, time to collect our money."

Lin Ziyi stood up, patted Babitt's shoulder, and was the first to walk out of the VIP box.

The VIP lounge on the third floor.

Lin Ziyi rubbed Tushan Lingling's delicate ears, which were hidden by the illusion technique, on her head, and praised with a smile:

"You worked hard, I'll reward you with a good meal tonight!"

Tushan Lingling endured the sensitivity of her ears, chuckled with a blushing face, and leaned her head affectionately on the young man's shoulder.

"It's not hard work~ Lingling is happy to complete Husband Brother's mission~"

As the two chatted, the door suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man in black, with a stubbly beard and a buzz cut, walked in silently.

The moment Lin Ziyi saw him, he was shocked!

This person's appearance... how could he look so much like Master Yu Xiaogang?! Why was he here?

As Lin Ziyi looked at him, the middle-aged man also looked at him.

The two made eye contact for two seconds, and the latter suddenly nodded at Lin Ziyi. Without a word, he walked to the empty sofa and sat down.

He then took out a notebook from his bosom and quietly began recording something in it.

Lin Ziyi silently watched the man, his emotions complex.

Because of the original story, and because of Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong's relationship, Lin Ziyi had no good feelings towards this man!

He only knew how to avoid things when it came to relationships, lacking any of the responsibility a man should have.

When faced with his own lagging talent, instead of diligently seeking opportunities to change his fate, he researched unreliable invincible theories...

But... Lin Ziyi couldn't openly criticize him.

Because he hadn't experienced the situations the man had, he couldn't guarantee that he would do better than the man if he encountered the same things...

Therefore, Lin Ziyi's attitude towards this man was the same as towards Tang San: as long as the man didn't provoke him, he wouldn't deliberately torment him!

True powerhouses never bully the weak!

Moreover, deliberately tormenting them wouldn't bring him any tangible benefits for now.

Instead, it would create an adversarial relationship with Tang San, the son of destiny of this world!

He would consider such matters once his strength was sufficient.

At this moment, besides Lin Ziyi's master and servant and Babitt, only Yu Xiaogang was in the room.

Looking at it this way, the third person who had bet on Tushan Lingling at that time must have been this Master!

He didn't know what gave the man the confidence to bet on his little fox.

It seemed that after decades of research, the man had indeed figured out some things...

Before Lin Ziyi could think further, the door opened again.

The gentle and refined Xiao Pu walked in, accompanied by the expressionless Nuotian De.

Lin Ziyi did not get up, merely looking at the two calmly.

Nuotian De, who was already displeased, couldn't help but angrily reprimand Lin Ziyi upon seeing his attitude:

"How dare you not rise and salute when you see His Highness?!"

Before Lin Ziyi could respond, Xiao Pu quickly glared at Nuotian De:

"Brother Tiande, it's just one loss in a Soul Fighting match, why so much hostility?

"I've already said, I'll cover the money you lost!"

Seeing Xiao Pu say this, Nuotian De could only suppress his displeasure and say no more.

Lin Ziyi watched the two play good cop, bad cop, and secretly chuckled, but didn't expose them.

They wanted to establish an image of gentleness and magnanimity in front of him...

But since he wanted to get money from them, he had to pretend to be the "ignorant one."

At this moment, Nuotian De took out three transparent crystal cards from his embrace and threw two to Lin Ziyi:

"Here is your principal and the winnings.

"Our Great Soul Arena cooperates with the Martial Soul Hall within the Heaven Dou Empire.

"You can withdraw the Gold Soul Coins at any Martial Soul branch within the Heaven Dou Empire."

Lin Ziyi steadily caught the two cards and saw the numbers "three thousand five" and "five thousand" displayed on their surfaces.

It seemed the Great Soul Arena's 1:100 odds included the principal.

Just as he was about to hand the card with five thousand Gold Soul Coins to Babitt beside him.

Babitt suddenly reached out and took the card with three thousand five hundred!
