Chapter 1394 - Got Guts
“How does this kid need my care? Even if I want to deal with him, I’d be in some trouble!”
A certain first senior sister murmured in discontent. The kid who the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had summoned twice and two direct disciples viewed with particular importance was actually a fellow gambler of that kid Le Tian as well!
If she were to finish him off, Le Tian would probably be the first one to object. If Li Qingshan were done for, who would be paying for his debts? That would be equivalent to losing a thousand Green Jade bookmarks for nothing.
Not to mention the fact that Ruan Yaozhu would never forgive her for at least a century, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance would find out she had harmed a fellow disciple, and Pi Yangqiu could definitely pull that d.a.m.ned fake first senior brother into the mess. Even if she was the proper first senior sister through and through who stood by every single word she said, she could not go that far.
A measly Soul Nascence cultivator without any background had already become involved with so many people before he knew it. He, who had only just joined the Myriad sect recently, seemed to be in the centre of danger, yet no one could actually touch him. Something like that truly had not happened before.
Was it luck? No, it was the result of risking his life. She was not unfamiliar with this path. As long as the difficulties were not enough to dull her edge, she could cut through everything and advance valiantly!
She extended her arm and stretched out her body that was as strong and nimble as a panther’s, moaning softly, “Ahh, I sure want to kill right now. Watching someone get killed is fine too. Of course, it’s the best if someone tries to kill me. Ah, I know!”
Springing to her feet, she made her way towards the door gracefully and kicked it open. Sunlight poured in.
Under the blood-red sky, she stood on the tall balcony. Beneath her feet was a precipitous cliff. Before her was a large, s.p.a.cious arena. Countless people clashed and struggled for their lives. The glow from arcane treasures and the light from techniques rose and fell.
However, it left her bored. The primary purpose of this place was for training, not for killing. If someone died, it would be her responsibility. The Myriad sect was not a demonic sect that trained their disciples by pitting them against one another after all.
However, there was one exception—duels. When the disputes between fellow disciples had reached the point beyond return, forcefully suppressing it would instead take even more effort, so they would settle it through the most primitive method possible.
Her expression coldened slightly. “Li Qingshan, at this point, I really do have to take the threat you pose to Yaozhu seriously!”
At the same time, in the Fate Perturbing casino.
When Pi Yangqiu stated his intentions, Le Tian shut his eyes and swished his cup of alcohol around gently in thought.
Li Qingshan took a whiff and picked up the delicate, golden alcohol jug on the table like he did not care at all, pouring himself a cup and drinking it all in a single gulp. Surprise and joy flashed through his eyes. The alcohol was much better than what he had bought. It was all because of that d.a.m.ned rabbit that he had not drank to his heart’s content, only having a tiny bit.
What followed was another cup, a second cup, a third cup…
The volume of the jug was definitely no smaller than his metal gourd. Unfortunately, it was only a buffet. He could not take any of it away with him, so all he could do was make use of every moment to have a bit more.
The golden-haired beauty standing behind Le Tian could not help but glare at Li Qingshan. A formal disciple like him was actually so disrespectful. If he had not been brought here by Pi Yangqiu, she would have tossed him out immediately.
Like no one else was around, Li Qingshan submerged himself in the alcohol.
Le Tian opened his right eye by a crack and glanced at Li Qingshan. “You mean you want to borrow another sum of money from me so that you purchase the Xuanming dwelling, which will speed up your cultivation?”
Li Qingshan raised his cup for a toast. “Don’t worry, I might just get eaten by the dragon. That way, you’ll win even without fighting.”
Le Tian said, “Then who will pay back my debt?”
Li Qingshan laid out his hands and shrugged like he was clueless.
“Then I’ll win against you, but I’ll still lose a thousand Green Jade bookmarks.”
Li Qingshan gulped down his mouthful of alcohol. “Then it’s my fault?”
Even Le Tian was left exasperated. He basically regretted setting up that gamble with this kid! If he wanted to win two thousand Green Jade bookmarks, he had to guarantee he had the basic ability to pay it back at the very least. In other words, he instead had to protect him from being finished off by someone else.

Pi Yangqiu smiled. “If Ao Xuan wants to claim the Xuanming dwelling, he definitely can’t kill a disciple of the Myriad sect. I’ve never heard of him having any interest in human flesh either.”
“It’s worth a try.”
Le Tian stopped smiling. This did not just affect the outcome of a gamble or two. It was something significant that influenced the entire Myriad sect.
Pi Yangqiu raised his cup. “Then let me have a talk with the people beneath me!”
Le Tian glanced at his empty cup and sighed. “Hey, fill me up!”
Having just gotten a free fill, Li Qingshan filled him up in a hurry. “Hehe, your alcohol is quite nice!”
He filled his own cup too and brought it to a toast with his two senior brothers. Right when he was about to drink it all, his left hand suddenly shook, and it almost spilled. Something had bitten his wrist viciously. Even without thinking, it must have been that d.a.m.ned rabbit!
However, Li Qingshan was currently in a very good mood, not just because he had received his “mortgage”, but also because Xiao An and the others did not seem to be in any life-threatening danger. Otherwise, with how closely connected they were and their fates linked, he definitely would have experienced a strong response if something happened. Since he sensed nothing, then they had dealt with the problem, which brought him great relief.
“Whatever. Considering the fact that you’re my drinking buddy, I’ll invite you to another cup. Just one cup! This isn’t my alcohol after all.”
Li Qingshan communicated with his soul sense as he shoved his cup into his sleeve. Sure enough, it was drained instantly.
“Enough. You should be satisfied now, right? If you keep making trouble, I’m not going to spare you. I’ll skin you alive.”
Le Tian and Pi Yangqiu exchanged glances. They had no idea what he was up to.
Li Qingshan poured himself another cup. Right when he was about to bring it to his mouth, he felt his wrist ache again, and it was even worse than last time. The alcohol splashed all over his face.
The corner of his eyes twitched. He had finally reached the end of his rope, wrenching the black rabbit out from his sleeve and saying furiously, “Have you had enough!?”
Le Tian and Pi Yangqiu were both surprised. They doubted their eyes. The three-legged golden toad laying in the corner of the room subconsciously shrank back.
Pi Yangqiu said, “Junior brother, this is!?”
“Ah, I’ve made a fool of myself. I found him on the side of the road. I planned on taking him back to go with my alcohol…”
Before he had even finished what he was saying, the rabbit kicked him in the face.
Boom!
Li Qingshan smashed through the wall, sailed over Myriad city, and flew off into the distance. When he fell, he smashed through several buildings before landing on the ground heavily.
The black rabbit caught the falling jug and leapt onto the table gently, directly drinking from the spout and draining all the alcohol, basically completely ignoring the two direct disciples.
Le Tian and Pi Yangqiu no longer had any doubts now, but they felt even more puzzled. “Why is first senior sister’s black-furred hou in this kid’s sleeve!?”
With a fierce gust of wind, Li Qingshan flew over and returned to the room. He pointed at the rabbit and yelled, “What the h.e.l.l are you!?”
Pi Yangqiu said, “About that, junior brother. This is first senior sister’s black-furred heaven-gazing hou!”
“What s.h.i.tty first senior sister!?”
Le Tian was shocked as well. He gave Li Qingshan an earnest thumbs-up. “The one behind you.”
Suddenly, Li Qingshan looked back. Before he knew it, a woman was actually standing behind him. Before he could even realise what was going on, she grabbed his collar and pulled him up close. She sneered and said, “Why don’t you say that again if you have the guts?”
