Chapter 223 I Want Your Inner Pill
"I know you are doing this for my own good, but I cannot disobey my master's orders." Xiao Qinghua shook her head.

Leng Zhe nodded. He could understand what Xiao Qinghua said. If it were him, he might make the same choice as Xiao Qinghua.

Chen Guan didn't say anything. He had met the master of Lotus Temple and knew that the man had great supernatural powers. He was afraid that his interference would ruin Xiao Qinghua's chance.

"Brother Guan, I'll go up first." Xiao Qinghua said as he was about to walk towards the venue below.

Chen Guan originally wanted to try it himself first, but he thought that if he lost and was taken away, he would not be able to watch Xiao Qinghua participate in the gambling game, so he decided to let her go first.

Xiao Qinghua came to the center of the field, and Teng went through a process and asked her what prize she wanted.

"I want the inner elixir of the Eight Kings." Xiao Qinghua resolutely stated the task assigned by the master of Lotus Temple.

After these words were spoken, Teng was stunned, and everyone else was dumbfounded. Even the black-clad crew members who were originally standing guard with expressionless faces turned their heads and looked at Xiao Qinghua.

"She... is crazy..." Everyone looked at Xiao Qinghua with disbelief. The words she said did not sound like something a normal person would say.

"Say it again... I didn't hear it clearly just now..." Teng thought she was hallucinating, or she had heard it wrong. Anyway, it couldn't be what she heard.

"I want the inner elixir of the Eight Kings." Xiao Qinghua said it again. This time Teng was sure that he had not heard it wrong, and his expression became extremely complicated.

"Yes." Before the dazed Teng could ask the Eighth King, the Eighth King's voice was heard.

At the same time, everyone saw that the statues of the Eight Great Kings had actually begun to move. The statues lowered their heads and looked at Xiao Qinghua with interest. At the same time, a voice as ethereal as a god rang out: "What do you want to bet on?"

This was the first time the statue had moved since the gambling game began. Before, the statue was motionless, with only its eyes occasionally flashing. People thought the statue was just a dead object, used by the Eight Kings to transmit messages and maintain its mystery.

I didn't expect that this statue was actually alive. Not only could it move, but the expressions on its face were also very subtle.

"Number eight." Xiao Qinghua stated her choice.

Among the eight gambling events prepared by the Eight Kings, only the eighth event does not require killing. In the other events, even if the practitioners win, the secret spirits participating in the competition will still die.

The eighth way to bet is also simple. Two people each write a word on a piece of white paper and see whether the sum of the strokes of the two words is an odd number or an even number.

Xiao Qinghua needs to guess whether it is an odd number or an even number first. After both parties have finished writing, if the guess is correct, the winner is.

Someone had challenged this bet before. At that time, the Eighth King asked Teng to write a random word for him. Teng wrote it first and placed it on the gambling table, waiting for the practitioner to finish writing it before opening the book together.

All the designs were relatively fair to the practitioner, but that practitioner still lost.

Xiao Qinghua was the second person to choose this project, but this time, the Eighth King did not let Teng write for him. He just stood up from the throne with his huge body and walked into the field step by step.

With every step he took, the ground shook, and the sound was terrifying.

Walking to the center of the field, the statue bent down, stretched out his hand, picked up the white paper on the gambling table, wrote something on the white paper with his own hands, and then put the white paper back on the gambling table.

The statue straightened up, looked down at Xiao Qinghua, and said lightly: "You have the scent of an old friend on you. For his sake, this king will bet with you personally so that he will admit defeat with sincerity. I will give you another favor. I will write it first, and then you guess." After hearing the Eighth King say that Xiao Qinghua was an old friend, everyone looked at her in surprise. They didn't know what kind of person she was. Even the Eighth King could recognize her origin just by smelling her scent.

Chen Guan felt a little relieved after hearing what the Eighth King said.

Even the Eight Great Kings attach so much importance to the successor of the Lotus Temple Master. It seems that the Lotus Temple Master's ability is really beyond belief. He should not be shooting without a purpose. Xiao Qinghua may really win this game, but I don't know how.

Xiao Qinghua looked at the majestic statue, but was not afraid. He picked up a pen and a piece of white paper, thought for a while, wrote a word on it, and then covered the gambling table with it.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she covers it or not, the Eight Kings have already written it and put it there.

"She should guess an even number. Even though the last person who guessed an even number lost, the chances of an even number winning are higher."

"If the strokes of two characters are both odd, then the sum is an even number. If two even numbers are added together, then the sum is also an even number. If there is only one even number and one odd number, then the sum is an odd number. You must guess an even number."

"That's not necessarily true. It depends on whether the characters that the Eighth King and the girl know have more odd or even strokes. If the characters they know are all characters with odd strokes, then the probability that the characters they write will all be odd strokes is much higher. Otherwise, there are many other possibilities. It's not that simple to judge."

"If one of them can only write words with an even number of strokes, and the other can only write words with an odd number of strokes, the probability of the sum being an odd number is 100%."

"What's wrong with your brain? How could someone only be able to write like that?"

"What if?"

Before Xiao Qinghua could guess, the people outside had already started arguing.

"Do you think she should choose single or double?" Chen Guan asked Leng Zhe beside him.

"It's all the same." Leng Zhe stared at the scene and said, "But the current situation is different from what I said before. Before, I said that as long as the good karma is high enough, it can affect the result. But now the result is out first, can her guess still affect the result?"

"I think it should be difficult, otherwise the Eighth King wouldn't have taken the initiative to gamble. He took the initiative and wrote it down before letting your friend guess. He must have calculated this step and didn't give your friend any chance. Maybe even good karma would be useless." Leng Zhe sighed, "It's still too risky to want the Eighth King's inner elixir. The Eighth King doesn't want to lose this round no matter what."

Chen Guan also felt that this was correct, but would the Lotus Temple Master let Xiao Qinghua lose?

"I guess it's a pair." Xiao Qinghua still made a judgment that was more favorable to her.

Everyone looked at the two pieces of paper on the stone platform, waiting for the host Teng to uncover them.

"What you think is a high probability may sometimes deceive you. Open it and take a look yourself." The statue of the Eight Great Kings said lightly. It turned out that he treated the small blue and white porcelain differently.

This sentence made everyone's heart jump. Chen Guan couldn't believe it. He stared at the two pieces of paper and thought to himself, "Will I really lose?"

Xiao Qinghua stepped forward and flipped open the two pieces of paper. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the papers. They saw that "one" was written on one piece of paper and "two" was written on the other piece of paper.

"It's an odd number..." Chen Guan's face changed color. Xiao Qinghua actually lost.
