Chapter 515: Chapter 515: In This Battle, Qiao Xi Can Only Win

Before long.

Footsteps could be heard from the room.

Qiao Xi opened the door, her hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth and full forehead. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her attire added a few touches of brisk efficiency to her usual style, both sweet and cool.

She asked, "Are we ready to set off?"

This morning at ten o’clock, the second round of the competition begins, with only ten places to advance. These ten will be able to skip the preliminaries in the next competition and also receive a minimum prize of two hundred thousand.

Sun Weimeng felt somewhat guilty, "No. I have something I want to tell you."

Qiao Xi looked at him with confusion, "Just say whatever you have to say."

"Qiao Xi, promise me you won’t kill me after I’ve said it. And if Huo Xingzhou wants to beat me, you have to stop him." Sun Weimeng got caught up in the heat of the moment and made a bet with someone, but now that he’s calmed down, he feels it’s quite inappropriate.

But the other party had already revealed his identity, it was Xiang Ze from the Xiang Family.

The bet is on!

Qiao Xi had also learned her lesson and smartly said, "You go first."

Sun Weimeng spoke hesitantly, "I made a bet using you. The other side was sure you couldn’t win today, saying you’d make it to the second round at best. I couldn’t stand it, and we started arguing. In the end, we made a bet..."

Qiao Xi looked at Sun Weimeng, Young Master Sun just couldn’t withstand provocation.

"What was the bet?"

"The bet is... you."

Sun Weimeng said reluctantly, "If you don’t move on to the next round today, that means I’ve lost. They want you to fulfill your promise publicly, if you lose, you have to announce in front of the national audience that you will never practice medicine again, and to cut your tendons as punishment, these are the consequences of violating the rules."

There’s a big difference between dealing with it privately and a public punishment.

This was about stripping away the last shred of dignity, and nailing Qiao Xi and Cheng Han behind her to the pillar of shame.

Let the national audience bear witness, and see the former National Doctor fall from grace.

A hint of cold mockery emerged in the depths of Qiao Xi’s eyes, "What if I win?"

"I told him to strip naked and run a lap around the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic! Naked running! He agreed."

At this time, the number of views of the betting post on the Chinese medicine forum reached several hundred thousand, with both parties having revealed their identities, attracting more and more onlookers.

Qiao Xi seems to have grasped the crux of the matter, speaking somewhat coldly, "If I lose, I have to sacrifice the whole school; if he loses, he only has to run naked once and it’s settled. But it doesn’t matter..."

The Young Master of the Xiang Family running naked around the venue, that would be quite the scandal in the Imperial Capital!

The Xiang Family wouldn’t be able to lift their heads up either!

Sun Weimeng was worried she’d be furious, he whispered, "Are you really okay?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "I’m really fine. This is a battle where losing is not an option, like walking a tightrope at high altitudes. Fall off once and there’s no redemption. Who cares at that point if you’re shattered to pieces or have an intact corpse?"

She didn’t care about these faces!

Sun Weimeng reproachfully said, "I’m sorry. If we really lose, I’ll fight them to death, I’ll act shamelessly! My face as Sun Weimeng isn’t worth anything, I’m just shameless. It was a bet I made, it has nothing to do with you."

"Young Master Sun." Qiao Xi looked at him earnestly, "You should think about how to make him even more embarrassed if I win! This competition, I can’t afford to lose. So, I will also do everything I can to win."

"Okay!"

A grown man, Sun Weimeng’s eyes even turned red!

Suddenly, Sun Weimeng thought of something and exclaimed, "The morning rush hour in the Imperial Capital is very congested, we can’t be late! That bunch of scum might try their best to keep us on the road, if we’re late, it’s counted as your loss."

Damn!

He only now thought of this.

Old Chen was very calm: "Don’t worry, the Young Master has already arranged a motorcade to clear the way. There’s no chance of the same thing happening as last time in the parking lot, we guarantee a smooth journey!"

Sun Weimeng gave a thumbs up, "Huo Xingzhou is reliable!"

As they were speaking.

The door to the study opened.

Huo Xingzhou appeared in a suit and leather shoes, and Sun Weimeng quickly gave Qiao Xi a pleading look. Qiao Xi nodded slightly and did not intend to tell Huo Xingzhou about the bet.

To avoid giving him extra worries.

"Have you got everything?"

Huo Xingzhou walked over to Qiao Xi and took her hand, asking in a low voice.

Qiao Xi said, "I was in such a rush to leave, I didn’t bring the Golden Needle."

"I’ll get it for you. You two go grab something to eat before getting in the car. Old Chen, go check the traffic conditions; we must ensure everything is foolproof."

"Of course, Young Master."

Qiao Xi and Sun Weimeng nodded and then went downstairs.

Huo Xingzhou went to the room and looked at rows of Gold Needles and Silver Needles, finally picking up the new set of Gold Needles that were recently acquired at an auction for Qiao Xi. According to rumors, they were the Gold Needles of Huang Bingyi, the inheritor of the Gold Needle Technique.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

When someone’s face is brought right up to you, why wouldn’t you hit it?

...

At nine-thirty.

The car arrived early and stopped at the entrance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

As soon as this familiar Rolls-Royce pulled up, those luxury cars that intended to enter the parking lot all halted and hurriedly turned around to switch to the underground parking.

It is said that whoever parks near the Rolls-Royce with the Haicheng license plate, their family would go bankrupt!

They had to believe it!

The immense Qian Family offended the Huo Family of Haicheng, and they were wiped out overnight!

Rumor has it that Young Master Qian had to sell his cars and houses, ridden in embarrassment as he fled the country!

Sun Weimeng poked his head out of the car window and said, "Why do they run upon seeing us? Do I look that frightening?"

Old Chen unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car from one side, and opened the rear passenger door: "Young Master, Young Madam, please go inside first. I’ll park the car. It seems these spoiled brats have learned their lesson!"

It’s easy to meet King Yan, but tough to deal with the little demons!

These annoying flies have long deserved to be deterred.

Otherwise, they would get the idea that they can throw their weight around in the Imperial Capital as if they really amounted to something.

Qiao Xi linked arms with Huo Xingzhou and headed straight inside the clinic towards the competition venue, while Sun Weimeng looked around as he followed behind.

Before they even got close, they could hear the voices extolling Lu Yingxue, almost elevating her to a divine pedestal.

"Miss Lu is greeting Elder Huang at the entrance. It’s our great fortune that thanks to her, we got the chance to meet Elder Huang Bingyi, the inheritor of the Gold Needle Technique!"

"She’s a living Bodhisattva! Beautiful and kind-hearted, and she even specially invited Elder Huang to ensure fairness in the competition. I believe that Elder Huang giving her face is indeed, just like the rumors on the internet, considering taking her as an apprentice."

"Yes! Over the years, many bigwigs have asked Elder Huang to come out of retirement, but only Miss Lu succeeded in having her request granted. Isn’t that special treatment? Surely the elder appreciates this junior!"

"Lu Yingxue is unmatched among the younger generation! Even that disciple of the National Doctor fades in comparison, merely ordinary!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Weimeng was not pleased!

Praising Lu Yingxue is one thing, but why did they have to step on Qiao Xi!

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to charge forward, but Huo Xingzhou grabbed him by the collar.

"Why are you holding me back?"

"Sun Weimeng, don’t cause trouble."

Hearing Huo Xingzhou’s voice, Sun Weimeng’s aggressive aura instantly died down.

He muttered with some reluctance, "But they’re slandering Qiao Xi, and it makes me angry."

Huo Xingzhou let out a cold laugh, "So, you’re going to rush in and make a bet again? What will you bet this time? How about I let you use Tianyuan Group as the stake?"

Sun Weimeng stiffened, avoiding eye contact.

Even Qiao Xi pursed her lips, a bit surprised.

Both thought to themselves, how did Huo Xingzhou suddenly know about the bet?

They sneaked a glance at each other, seeing guilt in the other’s eyes.
