Transcending the Nine Heavens

Although it was stated as one to ten, everyone still cast extremely disdainful glances at this guy: reaching the ninth rank pinnacle was clearly an impossible option! This guy was obviously just trying to scam money from the little girl!

Naturally, no one was going to fall for it.

Only Mo Tianji's eyes lit up as he murmured, “One to ten? Then I'll bet on the ninth rank pinnacle, one Amethyst Soul.” He smiled and said, “I’m Xiao Wu’s brother, so of course I have to firmly support my sister…”

Ji Mo excitedly shouted, “Good! Your part is also one to ten!”

He grinned widely: that was an Amethyst Soul… a priceless treasure. Mo Tianji was going to lose big this time… I didn’t expect that I, Ji Mo, would actually be able to take advantage of Mo Tianji, and it was a huge advantage at that…

But was it really so easy to take advantage of Mo Tianji?!

Mo Tianji smiled and said, “I say, Ji Mo, when gambling, it has to be fair. The house needs to have capital too. You might feel you are certain to win, but if you happen to lose, can you afford to pay out ten Amethyst Souls?”

“This…” Ji Mo was speechless, then he laughed wildly, “You think I’ll lose?? How could I possibly lose? Don’t you know that nine out of ten gamblers lose, and the only one who doesn’t is the house!”

“The so-called certainty of winning doesn’t mean you won’t lose. There are no absolutes in this world. What if you lose? Surely you’re not trying to take advantage of me empty-handed, right? You’ll pay up whether you win or lose, right?” Mo Tianji smiled without losing his composure, subtly applying pressure.

“Alright, then I won’t accept your bet; it’s boring to win against my own brother!” Ji Mo reluctantly decided to give up on the tempting deal, fabricating a reason he himself didn’t believe to save face.

“There’s no need for that; I won’t insist that you pay out ten Amethyst Souls,” Mo Tianji said. “If you really happen to lose, as long as you agree to one condition, we’ll make this bet.”

Ji Mo was overjoyed, confidently saying, “You say it! There’s nothing Ji Er wouldn’t dare to agree to.”

Mo Tianji grinned, “I won’t make it difficult for you. If you lose, every time you speak, you must first say: ‘Ji Mo is a foolish bird.’ Then you can begin your actual speech; how about it? Dare to gamble? You’ll just be exchanging lip service for an Amethyst Soul, so this bet is a huge advantage for you!”

The crowd burst into laughter. Mo Tianji’s condition was indeed rather cruel.

In terms of fair betting, Mo Tianji’s request was not excessive at all. Ji Mo was indeed getting a big advantage, but if Ji Mo really lost, it would be quite embarrassing. It was well known that Mo Tianji was frustrated with Ji Mo, especially with Ji Mo’s slick and shameless tongue, which angered him to no end.

Mo Tianji once said: if Ji Mo could control that slap-worthy mouth and that annoying tongue, and manage his rogue temper, Ji Mo’s future would absolutely not lose to anyone in the world.

Especially since this guy was so reckless; apart from Chu Yang, he was brash with everyone else. Mo Tianji particularly disliked people being slick and capricious around him, but Ji Mo kept doing it over and over…

Now that there was an opportunity before him, he simply seized the chance to correct this guy’s bad habit.

If Ji Mo truly lost this bet and had to say he was a foolish bird every time he wanted to speak… then undoubtedly, from now on Ji Mo’s words would be greatly reduced, only speaking when absolutely necessary, making him value his words like gold would not be a dream.

Ji Mo’s face flushed with anger at Mo Tianji’s words, disregarding everything else, he shouted, “Am I afraid of you? Let’s gamble! But if you lose, you have to give me one more Amethyst Soul!”

Well, anyway, I’m definitely going to win. Once I win, who cares about this trivial bet? I might as well take this opportunity to get another Amethyst Soul for my wife to improve her cultivation as well.
