In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.
Chapter 90 Money Comes in Like a Tumble
"clang clang"
Someone struck a gong and drum and shouted:
"Gongsun Yu was knocked off the stage, and Gu Chaomu won the match."
Zhou Jiang beamed with joy when he saw his apprentice win the match.
Shen Muli, who was standing to the side, suddenly stood up from her seat and asked incredulously:
"Uncle Zhou, what... just happened?"
Zhou Jiang chuckled lightly, and with a calculating look in his eyes, reminded the young master.
"What happened doesn't matter. The most important thing isn't whether my apprentice won the match."
"... "
Shen Muli paused for a moment, then understood his meaning, so she didn't ask any more questions and congratulated him with a smile:
"Indeed. Then this junior would like to congratulate Uncle Zhou on gaining such a fine apprentice."
...
"Wow! That's great! Hahahaha."
Those who supported Gu Chaomu from the sidelines must be happy.
But the happiest person was Qiao Wanwan; she was overjoyed.
He immediately skipped and hopped to the betting board.
Looking at that pile of gleaming silver, their eyes practically sparkled with the shape of money.
"So much silver."
He waved and called out to Chunxia, "Come and collect the money together!"
"Spring and Summer, come here quickly."
"Okay, miss."
Chunxia was also stunned and hadn't even realized that Young Master Gu had really won.
She couldn't believe how accurate her young lady's intuition was.
Seeing the young lady happily filling the money box, she also became excited.
Give the young lady a hand and help her put all the winnings back.
Xie Ze, who was silently watching Xiao Qiannu happily collecting money from afar, unconsciously put on a gentle and elegant smile, and his eyes were filled with tenderness that he didn't usually have.
Maybe he doesn't know it himself.
The swordsman who lost the bet could only watch as Qiao Wanwan stuffed money into her purse, making it bulge.
Seeing others win money is more painful than losing money yourself.
For a moment, the entire group of gamblers were sighing and lamenting.
"Hey!"
"I never expected that the person I least expected would actually win?"
"That's right, all my hard-earned money! This little brat really got a good deal."
The person who lost the bet looked at Gongsun Yu, who was being helped up, and cursed in disgust.
"What bad luck! Bah! What a piece of junk! The more you talk about it, the more you're just fooling people. It's not even as hard as other people's ordinary swords."
"That's right, it made us lose money."
Gongsun Yu lost face and had no intention of staying, so he wanted to escape.
But at that moment, Zhou Jiang on the observation platform loudly reminded them.
"Young Master Gongsun, ranked thirtieth in the martial arts world, do you wish to retain your place?"
"... "
Gongsun Yu, feeling humiliated, glared at the person who had stolen his ranking from him on the arena.
A clenched-teeth reply:
"These are the rules of the martial world, and of course I have to comply. I just hope that this young hero will never let me see you in the martial world again. Otherwise, your ranking will only drop, not rise."
The victor, Gu Chaomu, was not afraid of this threat at all.
Ignoring Gongsun Yu's threat, he thanked him smugly:
"Haha, then I, Gu, thank you very much for being ranked thirtieth on the Jianghu Ranking by Young Master Gongsun."
This infuriated Gongsun Yu, who took out the ranking token given to him by the alliance leader from his waist and threw it on the ground.
It then made a "clanging" sound, like metal hitting the ground.
"... "
Even if Gongsun Yu wanted to leave, he wanted to embarrass the other party.
Seeing Gu Chaomu's lips slowly twitch downwards, he felt much more at ease. He snorted coldly and turned away.
Even if he is insulted like this, someone will still help Gu Chaomu pick up the token for 30th place.
Zhou Xinyue called to Xiao Cui to pick up the token that had been thrown on the ground and dusted it off.
He then neatly handed it to Gu Chaomu, who was leaving the arena.
"Brother Gu, congratulations on achieving a ranking of thirtieth on the martial arts leaderboard. Now you have a reputation in the martial arts world."
"Haha, Xinyue, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now. I should thank you."
Overwhelmed with gratitude from Gu Chaomu, Zhou Xinyue blushed and said shyly:
"Brother Gu, why are you still being so polite with me? We've already..."
"!"
The man immediately interrupted the woman when he heard her about to say something detrimental to him.
"I still have to thank you, Xinyue, you are a benefactor in my life."
"Uh-huh."
Gu Chaomu's eyes searched around for Qiao Wanwan's voice, and he asked Zhou Xinyue.
Where is Wanwan?
"she?"
When Zhou Xinyue heard Gu Chaomu mention another woman, the smile on her face vanished.
"Why did Brother Gu ask her that?"
"nothing."
"... "
Gurgling.
"Congratulations, Brother Gu."
Gu Chaomu knew who it was as soon as she heard the name, smiled, and said to the man in the wheelchair behind her:
"Thank you very much for your 'care', brother."
"You're welcome. Brother Gu is now a well-known figure in the martial arts world. I wish you a bright future and all your wishes come true."
"Thank you."
Zhou Xinyue, who was listening to their coded messages, didn't notice anything amiss.
I just felt that the two of them were like brothers, and they had a very good relationship.
Everyone felt this deeply.
If Qiao Wanwan hadn't competed with her for Gu Chaomu, but instead stayed with this disabled young master...
Then Zhou Xinyue will definitely become sisters with Qiao Wanwan and play together, right?
Unfortunately, Qiao Wanwan was no pushover.
This is not,
Qiao Wanwan and her servant, having finished making their money, walked over happily from afar.
Gu Chaomu noticed her and called out to her:
"Wanwan, Brother Gu is here."
"Brother Gu?"
Gu Chaomu looked at the delicate and beautiful woman, who smiled sweetly at him.
They all thought:
She's so happy, probably because of me.
As Qiao Wanwan walked over, she stuffed the silver coins into Chunxia's arms.
He patted her belly and said with a smile:
"Keep it safe for me."
"Yes, ma'am."
In spring and summer, her small frame appeared bulging, much like a pregnant belly, with a sharp, prominent bulge.
She was both amused and exasperated by her mistress's actions.
Qiao Wanwan won money and is in a very good mood now.
Even seeing Gu Chaomu, whom I dislike, is the same.
She walked up to Gu Chaomu with a sweet smile and gave him a few compliments in a friendly manner.
Who told him to win money for himself?
"Congratulations to Brother Gu on winning the competition and ranking 30th in the martial arts world. You will surely continue to rise in the future and command respect with your voice."
"Haha, Wanwan is right, but I like it."
Presumably, this operation can wait until Qiao Wanwan returns to the Alliance Leader's Mansion and discuss it with the Alliance Leader.
This will deepen one's standing in the leader's eyes.
With the help of the current leader, the position of future leader will surely fall to him.
All he could think about was his position in the martial arts world, with a bright future ahead of him.
At that moment, the voice of a middle-aged man came from behind.
"Chao Mu, even if you get 30th place, don't be arrogant."
"!"
Gu Chaomu and the others looked back and saw Zhou Jiang leading the young master of the manor over.
What kind of glory did they have that could attract the young master to come along?
"Master, young master."
"Young Master, Senior Zhou."
The group bowed politely together.
"Oh, no need for formalities."
Young Master Shen Muli looked at the victor before him and said with a smile:
"Young hero, what a brilliant strategy! You were able to defeat an enemy stronger than yourself and even take their place. I truly admire you."
"Young Master, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
"Haha, if you really have that kind of luck, you'll be pretty good in the martial arts world."
"Thank you."
"By the way, since Uncle Zhou's disciple has won thirtieth place, how about I, Shen, host a celebration banquet for you?"
