"No, I can't! No! I can't lose my arm!" The old man surnamed Li shook his head after hearing Su Mu's words.
Then, he hugged his chest like a frightened little girl.
"This old man's abilities are all in these hands.
If I don't have an arm, how can I divine for others?!”
Then, he turned to Shangguan Haitang and begged,"
"Manor Lord, save this old man. This old man can't lose his arms!”
"Young Master Tianji, you should be merciful.”Hearing this, Shangguan Hai Tang immediately cupped her hands towards Su Mu and pleaded for the old man named Li:
"Old Man Li's body is in his hands. If his hands are cut off, his life will be ruined.
At that time, Old Man Li might not be able to take the blow and commit suicide."
"What does this have to do with me?" Before Shangguan Haitang could finish, Su Mu interrupted her with a cold smile and pointed to Xiaobei:
"When this old thing attacked Xiaobei, his fate was already decided!”
Then, he looked at Shangguan Haitang coldly and said in a flat voice,"
"Manor Lord Shangguan, how long has it been since you last roamed the Jianghu?
Have you forgotten that the pugilistic world is filled with bloodshed?
Some people would fight to the death just for a word!”
Then, he pointed at the panic-stricken old man named Li and said,
"Not only did this old thing slander my reputation, but he also injured my beloved disciple.
I'm already being merciful by only asking for his arms.
If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless!”
As he spoke, his right hand gently rested on the hilt of his sword as he expressionlessly looked at Shangguan Haitang.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng also flashed to Su Mu's right side, holding his finger and staring at the two of them casually.
"Hu!" Shangguan Haitang looked at Lu Xiaofeng warily and let out a long breath. She looked at Su Mu sincerely and said:
"Young Master Tianji, you have already won.
It won't be long before you'll be known as the best fortune-teller in the world. It can be said that you'll gain both fame and fortune.
Old Man Li had ruined his reputation today, so he would be despised by the people of Jianghu because he went back on his word today.
At that time, he would definitely lose his reputation!
You've already taken advantage of him, can't you let him go?”
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand, which had been covered by her sleeve, and a few golden coins appeared in her hand.
She also didn't want to fight with Su Mu and the other two, because she had no chance of winning.
However, she had no choice but to express her stance because she was the number one manor master in the world!
If they retreated today, the hearts of the people of The World's Greatest Manor would be scattered!
Seeing this, Su Mu was not in a hurry to act. After looking at Shangguan Hai Tang for a while, he suddenly smiled:
"It's not that I can't let him go, but I have a request!”
"Please speak." Shangguan Haitang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She really didn't want to fight a losing battle.
"I want to bet with him again!" Su Mu pointed at the old man surnamed Li, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:
"This time, we'll bet his arms!
If he wins, I won't pursue today's matter.
If he loses, not only will I chop off his arms, I will also chop off his legs!”
Not only did this old man injure Xiaobei, but he also went back on his word. Su Mu would not let him off so easily!
"This…" Shangguan Haitang frowned.
From what had just happened, she could see that the old man surnamed Li's ability was not as good as Su Mu's. Even if he gambled again, it would not change anything.
However, just as she was about to refuse,
"Good! This old man will give you another bet!" The old man surnamed Li seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly became firm as he stared at Su Mu and agreed.
"Old Li." Shangguan Haitang looked at the old man with confusion.
She really couldn't understand where Elder Li's confidence came from.
"Please don't worry, Villa Lord. This time, I will definitely win!”The old man surnamed Li promised before turning to look at Su Mu:
"I agree to this bet.
However, the rules of this bet must be decided by this old man!”
This old man surnamed Li had already begun to use unscrupulous means to protect his arms. He wanted to control the entire bet!
"I can give you the right to set the rules, but…" Su Mu nodded and changed his tone:
"You have to add another bet!"
"What bet?" The old man instantly became vigilant.
"Your life!" After Su Mu said these three words in an extremely calm voice, he looked at the old man whose expression had changed greatly and said mockingly:
"I'm too lazy to play with you anymore!
Let's decide life and death!
The rules are set by you.
If you win, you can walk out of this inn safe and sound.
If you lose, I will kill you!
Do you dare to play?"
As he spoke, he looked at the old man whose expression had changed drastically. He suddenly sneered,
"Don't tell me you think that you have another choice besides agreeing to this bet?
Do you want to lose your hands?"
"Good! I agree!" When the old man heard this, his expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Just as Su Mu had said, he had no other choice but to walk down this path to the end!
Then, he took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out dozens of pills.
This was not a precious pill, but the most common Blood-staunching Pill in the martial world.
After that, the old man pointed at the small pile of pills and said to Su Mu in a deep voice:
"The rules are very simple. In a while, the two of us will each take ten pills and put them in our hands.
He covered his hands with his sleeves and took out a few pills from a place where the other party could not see.
Finally, we put the pills into the tea bowls and divined the number of pills in each other's bowls!
If both of us are right or wrong, then it will be considered a draw. We will continue until the winner is determined!”
"Heh. We'll do as you say." After Su Mu heard the rules, he suddenly chuckled.
This was the rule he wanted.
In fact, Su Mu didn't even know the art of divination.
The reason why he was able to guess the number of rice grains was all because of the System Space.
The System Space could store all dead objects within a radius of 30 feet.
Just now, Su Mu had taken the rice grains from the old man's bowl and stored them in the System Space.
Then, with a thought, he knew how many grains of rice there were in the system space.
Finally, he used the system space to put the rice grains back into the bowl.
Only then could he win the previous bet.
And this time, the rules that the old man mentioned were actually similar to guessing rice grains. He would definitely win!
