Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 760 - 759: The Bet

The final round of the fifth competition promptly started, marking the last match of this grand event.

By now, tens of thousands of spectators had gathered in the square, none wanting to miss the most exciting final round.

Xu Ping’an took a quick look and saw that a total of eight people had made it through this round.

Apart from him, the other seven were exactly who he had expected.

They were Dongfang Qingxue, Ji Zhong, Chi Yun, Yao Feifei, Wu Bing, Zhang Zhantian, and that Liu Han.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an stood side by side with the seven others on the square, eliciting countless cheers from all around.

In Divine Artifact City, an Immortal Instrument Master capable of Refinement of Superior Grade Immortal Artifacts, already commands supreme status.

However, all eight standing here are the incredibly young generation, each with boundless potential.

It’s very likely that among them will emerge Divine Artifact Refiners, and possibly more than just one.

Therefore, for geniuses like Xu Ping’an and the others, it was undoubtedly a cause for widespread admiration.

Xu Ping’an felt indifferent to the admiring gazes from all around. After all, with the memories of his past life, he was already accustomed to such attention.

But Chi Yun, Yao Feifei, and the others displayed overt pride, their demeanor excessively proud.

"Xianlan, did you know all along that he was Xu Ping’an?" Gongsun Yao asked with a hint of frustration, looking at Xu Ping’an on the stage.

At this moment, she was standing with Yu Xianlan, who was all smiles, devoid of her previously sorrowful appearance, immediately letting Gongsun Yao know that Yu Xianlan had already learned of Xu Ping’an’s identity.

"Mm, my mother figured it out. We’ve known since the first round of the competition," Yu Xianlan said with a smile.

"The first round? Then why didn’t you tell me?" Gongsun Yao asked with a face full of surprise.

"My mother forbade me from telling you. If I had told you, would you still have sought him out to cure your poison?" Yu Xianlan asked with a smile.

"So you knew from the start that I would go to him for the antidote. You’re not upset?" Gongsun Yao asked, frowning.

"Why would I be upset? Since he could save your life, that’s a good thing. I know what you’re thinking, Yao Yao. Xu Ping’an has never belonged to just me. Even when he was in the Mortal Realm, he already had three beloved women. Even if I were upset, it wouldn’t be my place, and besides, I haven’t confessed my feelings to him yet," Yu Xianlan explained.

"But I sought him out for the antidote. You really don’t mind?" Gongsun Yao asked, biting her red lips.

"Don’t worry, I won’t mind. Even if you became his woman, I wouldn’t be angry. On the contrary, this would make us truly sisters," Yu Xianlan said with a laugh.

Having decided to follow Xu Ping’an, she was his from this life forward.

If Xu Ping’an didn’t want her, she would wait forever until he agreed.

Gongsun Yao fell silent, not saying anything else. However, it seemed as if a weight had lifted from her heart.

If Xu Ping’an were to cure her, would she resist?

In that moment, Gongsun Yao found her answer.

No!

Not only was Xu Ping’an handsome and gifted, but he also possessed an excellent temperament.

A genius like him would be hard to find a second time in her life.

So within her heart, she didn’t resist Xu Ping’an.

She’d always admired the strong, and Xu Ping’an was more than strong enough.

"I hope you take first place so that my poison can be completely cured. Then, I’ll give myself to you completely," Gongsun Yao silently mused as she watched Xu Ping’an’s figure.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these thoughts, as he was currently chatting with Zhang Zhantian.

"Qin Feng, you’ve kept me in the dark for so long. It turns out you’re also a Superior Grade Artifact Refiner," Zhang Zhantian said with a laugh.

"Didn’t I say I was going for the championship?" Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

"Championship? Do you mean to say you can refine a Semi-Divine Artifact?" Zhang Zhantian asked, astonished.

Xu Ping’an was about to respond with a smile when Chi Yun next to him scoffed and coldly interrupted, "Hmph, as if he could refine a Semi-Divine Artifact? Dream on."

Liu Han also chuckled coldly alongside, clearly thinking it impossible for Xu Ping’an to refine a Semi-Divine Artifact.

Among them, truly capable of refining a Semi-Divine Artifact would definitely not exceed three.

And Qin Feng was definitely not included.

Xu Ping’an chuckled and suggested, "How about we make a bet? If I truly can refine a Semi-Divine Artifact, what will you do?"

"If you can refine a Semi-Divine Artifact, I’ll call you daddy. If you can’t, you hand over your Chaotic Flame to me," Chi Yun said with a sneer.

The surrounding crowd all turned their attention toward Xu Ping’an.

They were clearly interested in Xu Ping’an’s Chaotic Flame, curious to see whether he would accept such a wager.

"If I win, you only call me daddy once, and I’m at a loss. That’s hardly a fair bet," Xu Ping’an said, chuckling lightly.

"Then what do you want?" Chi Yun asked coldly.

In his view, it was absolutely impossible for Xu Ping’an to refine a Semi-Divine Artifact.

So any bet was inconsequential.

"How about this: I’ve heard you’re betrothed to the Fairy Dongfang. If I win, your fiancee is mine. How’s that?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingxue next to him was startled, looking incredulously at Xu Ping’an.

The crowd was also surprised.

Xu Ping’an was actually suggesting Chi Yun wager his betrothed.

If Xu Ping’an really won, Chi Yun would be branded with immense humiliation.

Chi Yun clenched his fist, his eyes filled with boundless rage.

"Fine, I accept," Chi Yun immediately replied.

Hearing this, Xu Ping’an broke into a smile.

Dongfang Qingxue, on the other hand, frowned deeply, her eyes conflicted.

She couldn’t understand why Qin Feng would propose such a bet.

Nor could she contain her disgust for Chi Yun for agreeing to it.

"I hope you won’t go back on your word," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, I’m more worried you’ll back out. The Chaotic Flame is mine," Chi Yun retorted with a cold sneer, a hint of greed in his eyes.
