My Master Knows It All-Chapter 505 - 182_2

"So much..." The owner of the gambling house showed a look of surprise on his face when he heard the number, "Cao Zhen actually has so much money... A reincarnated great ability, he must be a reincarnated great ability, otherwise, he wouldn’t have so much money.

Betting so much, is he certain he can take first place? If he wins, we will have to pay out triple, a vast sum of money."

The gambling house’s boss furrowed his brows tightly.

In the room, besides the boss, there were two other cultivators. The slightly younger man upon hearing this, gently shook his head and said, "There’s no need to worry so much. You are not a cultivator, so naturally, you do not understand many of the cultivators’ ways.

I can tell you, cultivators are all filled with confidence in themselves, especially the more powerful and talented cultivators have even greater confidence.

Cao... Peak Master Cao is a reincarnated great ability and is naturally extremely confident. If not for that kind of confidence, he would not have reached the level in his previous life to reincarnate.

For him to bet on himself is only natural, and moreover, I can assert that after some time, many other geniuses will place bets on themselves too.

They bet on themselves because of their confidence. Without that kind of confidence, they would not become geniuses, not become strong.

But, them betting on themselves does not mean they are certain to win."

Now that Cao Zhen is confirmed to be a reincarnated great ability, it is inappropriate to call him by his name directly anymore.

"Indeed." The other, slightly older cultivator next to him took over the conversation, "In our world of immortal cultivation, many times when two individuals compete in magic, they will bet on themselves to win.

But in a competition, inevitably one will lose. They bet on themselves because of their confidence. So there is no need for alarm."

The opposing boss, however, furrowed his brows and lightly shook his head, saying, "Confidence is one thing, but to bet so much...

Moreover, now that Cao Zhen has taken out such a large sum of money and placed a bet on himself to win, it has thoroughly confirmed that he is a reincarnated great ability.

As another reincarnated great ability, his odds are so much higher than Star Lord Hao Yue’s, which also seems unreasonable. But we cannot have his odds be as high as Star Lord Hao Yue’s, after all, Star Lord Hao Yue has already revealed the Cultivation Base of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, whereas Cao Zhen has not."

He thought for a moment and instructed, "Change Cao Zhen’s odds to one pays two and a half."

"Yes." The shopkeeper quickly departed.

After leaving the Tongbao Gambling House, Yi Sheng seemed very eager and asked, "Master, what was the meaning of that betting method you used just now? Can you explain it to me in detail... Our family’s betting shop is on this street. With Master’s permission, we can inform my father, and then, let Master take a cut."

"Alright, let’s go to your family’s betting shop." He wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to make money.

Yi Sheng’s Xing Kui Betting Shop was indeed on this street too, but it was not close to the Tongbao Gambling House, one being at the southern end of the street and the other at the northern end. In terms of size, both betting shops were quite comparable.

Cao Zhen swept his eyes over the betting shop. The odds at Xing Kui Betting Shop were nearly the same as those at Tongbao, and many of the odds could be said to be identical.

Under the guidance of Yi Sheng, Cao Zhen entered the inner parts of the betting shop, where he was greeted by Yi Qiancheng, who was in charge of the establishment, and also a man who looked about seven or eight years older than Yi Sheng and resembled Yi Qiancheng somewhat.

When Yi Sheng saw this person, he instantly revealed a look of surprise and called out, "Third brother, what are you doing here?"

While speaking, Yi Sheng turned to introduce to Cao Zhen, "Master, this is my third brother, Yi Jin."

Then, she introduced to Yi Jin, "This is my master, the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak from the Hundred Peaks Sect."

Although Yi Jin had some resemblance to Yi Qiancheng, he was much taller, almost catching up to Yi Sheng’s height. He also knew of Cao Zhen’s presence and quickly gave a respectful bow to Cao Zhen, greeting him with honor, "It’s an honor to meet you, Peak Master Cao."

After greeting Cao Zhen, he turned to Yi Sheng and explained, "Little sister, once father heard you were back, he said it has been too long since our family gathered, so he immediately sent a message for us all to come back.

Not just me, but I expect that big brother, second brother, and fourth brother are all on their way too."

Cao Zhen could see that, although Yi Jin and Yi Sheng were half-siblings, he was very affectionate towards her.

He knew Yi Qiancheng, as the wealthiest man of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, naturally wouldn’t have just one child like Yi Sheng, but the total number of Yi Qiancheng’s children was unclear to him. However, he had once heard Yi Sheng mention that she was the only daughter of her father and her mother had only one child as well.

In any case, being the only daughter in the Yi Family, she naturally became the family treasure.

Yi Qiancheng showed a look of surprise when he saw Cao Zhen arrive, "Peak Master Cao, what brings you here? I thought you had already returned to your residence."

He wasn’t surprised by the fact that Cao Zhen and Yi Sheng had left the arena, clearly, their Xing Kui Betting Shop also had people by the arena who could get the news from the arena at the first opportunity.

Yi Qiancheng looked at Cao Zhen with a warmer gaze than the first time they met, even his eyes contained a slight hint of ingratiating themselves.
