“You… you’re not trying to pull some sort of trick, are you?” The female elf’s beautiful eyes looked at Lin Yun warily.
The reason she said this was still the same. The fact that Lin Yun, a complete stranger, spent so much money just to save her seemed utterly incomprehensible to her. So, any arrangements Lin Yun made for her made her suspect whether he had ulterior motives.
Lin Yun said calmly, “If I wanted to possess you, if I wanted to enslave you, I could have simply asked Baibao House to forcibly form a contract with you. Then I could do whatever I wanted with you. Why would I need to resort to any tricks?”
The female elf thought to herself that this was indeed true. She was already Lin Yun’s possession. If he truly wanted to do something, there would be no need for him to beat around the bush.
“What a pity, your temperament isn’t much like hers,” Lin Yun couldn’t help but sigh.
Then Lin Yun turned to Wu Chengtian. “Brother Wu, we can head to the arena for the gambling match next.”
After all, this match was already arranged, and they definitely had to attend.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Wu Chengtian and his two younger brothers stood up, and the group left the elegant room, with the female elf following beside Lin Yun.
Wu Chengtian had been here once before and knew where the arena for the gambling match was, so he led the way.
…
Baibao House, Arena.
The entire arena was circular, surrounded by high stands that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators at once.
Private fighting was prohibited in Baibao House, but this arena was specifically designed for challenges.
Every day, multiple battles took place here, including both gambling matches between cultivators and battles arranged by Baibao House.
At this very moment, a battle was about to take place in the arena, with both sides being beastman slaves.
Of these two beastman slaves, only one could walk out of the arena alive. The one who survived would be set free, regaining their freedom.
Thus, both would fight desperately for the chance to live, making the battle undoubtedly thrilling and exciting, with the outcome difficult to predict.
The audience could also place bets on which side would win.
This was an extremely popular spot in Baibao House.
At this moment, the arena was almost fully packed with spectators.
Wu Jun was also there.
“Why hasn’t that guy shown up yet?” Wu Jun looked around, already impatient, eager to face Wu Chengtian in a match immediately.
Young Master Gang, standing beside Wu Jun, said, “Just wait. That guy got the exquisite female elf. He’s probably indulging himself right now, but he should show up.”
Hearing this, Wu Jun felt a surge of frustration. He had been extremely covetous of that exquisite female elf, but Wu Chengtian had taken her. How could he swallow his anger?
“In the duel with him later, I’ll teach him a harsh lesson! I’ll make sure to peel a layer of skin off him!” Wu Jun’s eyes glinted with killing intent.
“Wu Jun, that guy’s here, over there!” Young Master Gang pointed in a direction.
Wu Jun immediately looked up upon hearing this.
“Didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly,” Wu Jun’s gaze narrowed slightly.
Lin Yun, Wu Chengtian, Wu Qing, Wu Yue, and the female elf made their way to the arena.
“It seems a match is about to take place in the arena. We’ll have to wait until this one finishes,” Wu Chengtian said, looking at the arena ahead.
In the arena, two beastmen were already in position.
“Big brother, Wu Jun is over there,” Wu Qing pointed to another section of the arena stands.
“Let’s not worry about that for now. We’ll find a place to sit and wait for this match to end,” Wu Chengtian said.
The five of them found a row of empty seats and sat down.
As soon as they sat, a servant from Baibao House approached, asking what wine or tea Lin Yun’s group would like to order.
Clearly, watching a match in the arena, even without betting, required purchasing drinks or tea.
Wu Chengtian casually ordered some wine and paid for it.
“This arena for gambling matches is one of Baibao House’s major attractions, quite popular. Since a match is ongoing, let’s watch it for now,” Wu Chengtian said.
At this moment, the battle in the arena had erupted.
The two beastmen instantly clashed in a fierce fight!
In just one exchange, both beastmen were injured in their collision, but they didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment. They immediately got up and launched a second round of attacks.
