The onlookers understood and burst into laughter again.

They knew it was impossible to be that lucky. How could a nobody at Bright Realm sixth level engrave the lowest quality Green Jade Slate?

It must have been, as the beautiful shop assistant said, some trick to fake success.

Slap!

Suddenly, Lu Zhao moved, slapping the beautiful shop assistant hard across the face.

Holding the Green Jade Slate, his whole body trembled as he said, "Shut up!"

The beautiful shop assistant screamed, clutching her face and stunned on the ground. Why did the Pavilion Master hit her?

The onlookers were also shocked. Had Pavilion Master Lu gone mad from the Green Jade Slate and started attacking indiscriminately?

The next moment, Lu Zhao rushed in front of Sikong Jing, his lips trembling as he spoke, "Young hero, how much are you planning to sell this Green Jade Slate for? Let me privately assess if I can afford it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

What nonsense was Pavilion Master Lu spouting? He was asking if he could afford it? And he wanted to buy it privately.

Why?

Even if he wanted to buy it privately, as the branch master of Heaven Martial Pavilion in Yunye City, how could he not afford it?

However, no one knew how excited Lu Zhao was at this moment. The martial skill engraved within the Green Jade Slate was indeed only Yellow Grade High Tier, which was shocking enough. But it also contained... Martial Intent!

What was Martial Intent?

It was a profound and mysterious power, a deterrence possessed only by the strong.

Any Martial Intent engraved on Green Jade Slate, Green Jade Paper, or even Green Jade Tube could greatly benefit other martial artists, its value immeasurable!

Most importantly, anyone who could engrave Martial Intent must be a terrifying existence who had broken through to the Heaven Realm and reached the Five Transcendent Realms.

At this moment, Lu Zhao's gaze towards Sikong Jing had changed. This young man in front of him was not at Bright Realm sixth level at all, but a Transcendent expert. He was disguising his aura, deliberately playing the pig to eat the tiger.

No wonder he wasn't afraid of Chu Bo. No wonder he succeeded in engraving on the first try.

Damn it, did he offend him with what he just said?

Lu Zhao's mind reeled, his heart pounding faster as he stared at Sikong Jing, fearing he might just slap him.

But Sikong Jing was surprised. The martial skill he engraved was only Yellow Grade High Tier, which shouldn't be enough to make a branch master this excited... However, when his gaze fell upon the Green Jade Slate, his eyes flashed.

So, he had accidentally engraved Martial Intent.

Although Sikong Jing was cultivating again, he had only lost his most basic true qi. Everything else, including Martial Intent, was still there.

After a moment of thought, Sikong Jing replied, "According to Heaven Martial Pavilion's highest price for Yellow Grade High Tier, that will be fine."

Martial Intent was an unexpected bonus. Sikong Jing hadn't expected to be able to engrave it after restarting his cultivation.

But now, it was not suitable for him to reveal too much.

"What did you say?" Lu Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief.

A Green Jade Slate with Martial Intent, priced only as a common Yellow Grade High Tier martial skill. Was this a pie falling from the sky?

"What? You don't want it?" Sikong Jing narrowed his eyes and asked.

Lu Zhao was stunned. The opportunity was not to be missed, so he quickly nodded like a pecking hen, "Of course I want it, but this..."

Before he could finish, Sikong Jing leaned close to Lu Zhao's ear and said coldly, "Don't ask too many questions about some things, lest you invite a killing disaster. What's inside the Green Jade Slate was purely because I didn't control it well."

After speaking, Sikong Jing took a step back. "Oh, and give me another hundred Iron Crystal Plates. I don't like owing money."

Turning around, he looked at Chu Bo, who was still kneeling on the street, unable to move...

Before Sikong Jing could speak, Chu Bo weakly said, "Quick, quick, tell me the terms of the bet. I can't take it anymore."

During the transaction between Sikong Jing and Lu Zhao, the searing pain in his knees had tormented Chu Bo to no end. Now, all he wanted was to quickly fulfill the bet, but he had forgotten the terms of the bet that Sikong Jing had mentioned.

Sikong Jing's lips curved slightly as he heard this. "Say three times, Su Yuexi is the most beautiful woman in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Bo repeated it three times without hesitation, his eyes almost bursting as he stared at Sikong Jing, "Quick, quick, help me remove it. I promise I won't retaliate."

However, Sikong Jing just smiled and replied, "Wait a moment. I still owe you a hundred Copper Crystal Coins."

The three Green Jade Slates were paid by Chu Bo, and this was to be repaid.

"No need to repay, I beg you, don't repay it."

Chu Bo was on the verge of tears. Why had he tried to trick someone?

At this moment, Lu Zhao also came back to his senses and quickly ordered someone to bring a hundred Gold Crystal Coins and a hundred Copper Crystal Coins.

After receiving them, Sikong Jing casually threw the Copper Crystal Coins to Chu Bo, then kicked him twice to relieve his intense pain. However, Chu Bo did not stand up. Instead, he collapsed onto the ground and fainted.

Sikong Jing naturally ignored him, took the money and two blank Green Jade Slates, and left directly.

With the money in hand, it was time to go back and tell Su Yuexi the good news.

Watching Sikong Jing leave, the Heaven Martial Pavilion was silent. The next moment, the beautiful shop assistant let out a scream, "Young Master Chu!"

She quickly rushed over. After checking that Chu Bo had only fainted, she said to Lu Zhao, "Pavilion Master, Young Master Chu's pain has been relieved. You don't have to be afraid of him being crippled anymore. Hurry and capture that fool!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers exchanged glances.

Suddenly, all eyes turned back to Lu Zhao. Could it be that Pavilion Master Lu agreed to all of that fool's conditions and even gave him money, not because the engraved Green Jade Slate was impressive, but because he feared Young Master Chu would have his legs crippled?

That must be it; even Young Master Chu had begged for mercy just moments ago.

"Pavilion Master, shall we take action?" the Heaven Martial Pavilion's guard captain asked, his eyes glinting coldly.

Given their experience, they still believed it was impossible for the most inferior Green Jade Slate to be engraved with something worth one hundred Gold Crystal Coins.

Unless it was a transcendent martial artist who had broken through to the Heaven Realm, but that person just now was only at the sixth level of the Bright Realm.

Lu Zhao's mouth twitched, and he fell silent once more.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it either. Recalling Sikong Jing's final warning, Lu Zhao said in a deep voice, "No need. Send Young Master Chu back to the Chu Family; they will handle it naturally."

After speaking, he couldn't help but think maliciously that if the Chu Family dared to seek revenge, they would surely be doomed.

"Exactly, exactly! The Chu Family will definitely tear that fool into pieces," the beautiful shop assistant nodded vigorously.

However, Chu Bo's servant asked with an angry expression, "Who exactly is that dog, and where does he live?"

To seek revenge, they first had to know who the person was.

The crowd looked at each other in confusion, and even Lu Zhao couldn't help but slap his thigh, realizing he had forgotten to ask for the young hero's name.

"I know! He is the son-in-law of the Su Mansion."

Suddenly, a bystander shouted out. As the crowd looked on in confusion, the man explained, "Have you forgotten the wager he made Young Master Chu shout out just now? Su Yuexi is the number one beauty in the world."
