After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 441 Unexpected Bet

Guan Bi couldn't help but smile bitterly; she shouldn't have had any expectations of Shen Xu.

Zhou Tai quickly noticed Guan Bi's subtle change in expression, which made his face instantly darken.

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Shen seems to be at the Qi Sea Realm."

"I recently managed to break through by sheer luck."

"Really? I don't think Brother Shen is the same age as the previous Sword Alliance disciple, so he must be a disciple of this year's Sword Alliance."

To reach the Qi Sea Realm at such a young age, Brother Shen must possess extraordinary talent.

"Brother Zhou, you flatter me. My talent is not high. Breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm was really just a fluke."

"Shen Xu, I suddenly remembered that Miss has some matters to attend to. Let's go back first today." Guan Bi saw what Zhou Tai wanted to do and wanted to take Shen Xu away from this troublesome place immediately.

“Junior sister, why are you in such a hurry? Brother Shen and I hit it off immediately, it won’t hurt to chat a little longer,” Zhou Tai said with a smile.

"No need!" Guan Bi's attitude was very firm.

Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi with some curiosity, but he knew that Guan Bi would not harm him, so he said to Zhou Tai, "Then we will take our leave."

"Junior sister, is it worth it for a man who only sees you as a friend?" Zhou Tai said coldly as he reached out to stop Guan Bi.

"This is none of your business, get out of the way!" Guan Bi's gaze was unusually sharp.

"What if I don't allow it?" Zhou Tai's expression was very sorrowful.

He didn't understand why Guanbi was treating him this way, and he demanded an answer from Guanbi today.

"Brother Zhou, if you want to cause me trouble, just say so. It's not like I won't fight you, why make things so complicated?"

Just then, a mocking voice rang in Zhou Tai's ears.

Guan Bi and Zhou Tai both looked at Shen Xu, but with different expressions.

Seeing the worry in Guan Bi's eyes, Shen Xu gave her a reassuring smile.

He had actually realized long ago that Zhou Tai was going to cause him trouble, but adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, he didn't want to get into conflict with others.

But if someone bullies you to your doorstep and you don't fight back, then you're a coward.

"I didn't expect Brother Shen to be so straightforward. I'd like to experience Brother Shen's skills firsthand. Don't worry, I won't use my peak Qi Sea cultivation level. This will be a fair fight."

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Tai's lips. He wanted to show Guan Bi how pathetic the person she had her eye on would be under his feet.

Upon hearing Zhou Tai's words, the worry in Guan Bi's eyes vanished instantly. She then looked at Shen Xu, knowing that he definitely knew what to do next.

"Brother Zhou, I feel that simply sparring doesn't fully demonstrate our friendship. How about we make a bet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai's gaze deepened. "I wonder what Brother Shen wants to bet on?"

"How about I bet you'll never show your face in front of Guanbi again?" Shen Xu said with a smile.

Guan Bi's heart trembled, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up within him. He clearly needed the Thunder Pool Liquid to save his life, but in the end, he chose to fight for her.

"Haha, this bet suits me perfectly, I'll bet with you!"

"Let's bet that whoever loses today will never be allowed to appear by Guanbi's side again." Zhou Tai's eyes turned sinister.

Shen Xu's commotion was so great that it couldn't be ignored by the surrounding crowd. As Zhou Tai approached, the crowd was already itching to get involved, and now they all crowded around him.

They all knew that Zhou Tai had feelings for Guan Bi, and they also knew that Guan Bi had been holding a man's hand all the way here.

This is a humiliation not only for Zhou Tai, but for all the disciples of Tianhe.

After all, Guan Bi was one of the goddesses in the hearts of the disciples of Tianhe, but now an outsider had taken her away. How could they tolerate this?

Moreover, since the establishment of the Sword Alliance, almost every member of the Tianhe Sword Sect has been holding their breath, wanting to prove that they are no worse than the disciples of the Sword Alliance.

Now that they have a chance to beat up the Sword Alliance disciples, they naturally won't miss such a good show.

"Who is this guy? So arrogant, daring to fight with Senior Brother Zhou." A boy in the crowd, munching on a purple fruit, asked curiously.

"I don't know, but it seems to have a close relationship with Guan Bi. However, I think Zhou Tai is being a bit too arrogant. There are no simple characters among the disciples of the Sword Alliance. If he really suppresses his strength, he will probably suffer a lot."

"Indeed, someone who can win Guan Bi's favor must be extraordinary. Didn't you hear? This is a new disciple of the Sword Alliance. Just think about how long the Sword Selection has only been over."

Qi Sea Realm…

"Wow~ That's amazing!" Someone couldn't help but gasp.

"Why are you all boosting others' morale and belittling your own? What does it matter if you break through quickly? If you don't accumulate enough Qi in the Qi Condensation Realm, your Qi vortex might not even be that big when you break through to the Qi Sea Realm. How can you compare to Senior Brother Zhou?"

You should know that when Senior Brother Zhou broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, his Yuan Qi vortex spread for seven or eight miles. I think even in the Sword Alliance, there aren't many people with such talent!

"I think you're all too afraid of the Sword Alliance disciples. Many people in Tianhe are no worse than them, and even a prodigy like Senior Brother Zhou would be among the best in the Sword Alliance."

The boy looked at the sarcastic crowd around him with displeasure, then threw the fruit in his hand into the river, creating a large splash of water with purple lightning.

The sound of the waves drowned out the noisy voices, making the entire Sword Viewing Corridor eerily quiet.

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Zhou Tai gestured with a smile and said, "Brother Shen is a guest, please come up on stage first."

He was confident in his strength; how could a mere youth who had just entered the Qi Sea be his match?

Shen Xu frowned. It was obvious that Zhou Tai's words contained a trap. Although the Tianhe Sword Testing Platform was close at hand, it probably wouldn't be so easy to walk up there.

"Brother Zhou, please go first. I'm not very familiar with the Tianhe Sword Testing Platform yet, so I'd like Brother Zhou to give me a brief introduction."

“Alright.” Zhou Tai laughed, and with a leap he entered the surging river, using the waves to carry him to the sword-testing platform.

"What exquisite footwork! He can even walk on the waves." Shen Xu couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He had experienced the ferocity of the Milky Way before, and Zhou Tai was indeed very powerful.

"Guanbi, is there a bridge?" Shen Xu asked in a low voice.

Guan Bi was both amused and exasperated; this person still had the mind to joke with her at a time like this.

"No, to enter the Heavenly River Sword Testing Platform, you must cross the river. You can directly control your flying sword, but remember to be careful, Zhou Tai is very strong."

Guan Bi wasn't worried about Shen Xu losing; she was more concerned that Zhou Tai would disregard his reputation and go all out against Shen Xu after losing, since she was currently powerless to stop him.

"rest assured!"

After answering, Shen Xu immediately used his flying light to arrive at the sword-testing platform. This action immediately drew boos from the crowd. They thought Shen Xu would use some method to cross the river, but they didn't expect him to be so simple.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu couldn't hear them because he was inside the sword-testing platform, otherwise he would have muttered to himself, "Why not use an easier method? The simplest way is the best, okay?"
