"Master?"

As soon as Xingchen Daoren appeared, Xiao Changkong and the others all looked at him with surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you can borrow, why can't I?"

Or is it that you're closer to him than I am?

Master Xingchen completely disregarded the looks from his five disciples.

"Old man, you just robbed me of a thousand top-grade spirit stones a month and a half ago, and you want more?"

Chen Tianba immediately roared in anger.

"A thousand? A thousand top-grade spirit stones? That's too little! I'm betting two thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

Xingchen Daoist almost revealed that he had been swindled out of a thousand top-grade spirit stones by Qinghe Daoist.

In fact, he is still feeling the pinch over those thousand top-grade spirit stones.

If he hadn't been tricked by Qinghe Daoren, he would have really made a fortune if he had gambled correctly this time.

He led the peak masters in a nearly month-long publicity campaign, attracting countless cultivators to their Star Palace with countless spirit stones.

He had long planned to swindle everyone out of their spirit stones and put them all into the hands of the Star Palace.

If things really go as Shen Rugo plans, their Star Palace will become famous overnight, become incredibly wealthy, and their rise to power will not only be accelerated but also extremely smooth.

However, he has always been penniless. Although he has a perfect plan and the sect may be able to make a fortune, he, the Star Daoist, has no money of his own and has no way to make money.

He watched as the number of cultivators grew far beyond his expectations.

These past few days, he's been racking his brains trying to figure out how to get some capital to gamble.

He even once considered going down the mountain to rob someone.

Without capital, there is no interest; without principal, even the best investment opportunities will only allow you to watch others make money.

But he was, after all, the leader of the Star Palace. Although he had the urge to rob countless times, he ultimately restrained himself.

Like Xiao Changkong and others, he ultimately set his sights on Chen Tianba.

Chen Tianba's father, the head of the Chen family, arrived three days ago with his family members, and he personally received them.

It was clear to the naked eye that the Chen family, which had always been the wealthiest, had brought no fewer than 20,000 top-grade spirit stones up the mountain this time.

He waited for Chen Tianba to come out so he could rob him again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Changkong and his three fellow disciples beat them to it and went directly to Black Wind Pass to intercept Chen Tianba.

He remained hidden in the shadows, observing the movements of these people.

Seeing that the crucial moment had arrived, he had no choice but to show himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't get a share!

"You all want to gamble, and you all want to squeeze my spirit stones out of me to gamble?"

Chen Tianba finally understood that his master and four fellow disciples had been plotting against him and his family's money all along. He was even a little touched just now.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat! We're not using your money to gamble, we're just borrowing some capital from you. It'll only be a few days, and we'll pay you back later!"

Don't you believe your junior sister can win?

Or are you saying that you don't respect me as your master at all?

As the saying goes, a master and his apprentice are like father and son. I am your master, just like your father!

What's wrong with a father asking his son for a thousand spirit stones? Isn't that perfectly reasonable?

The Star Daoist put on an angry expression.

Shameless! Master is truly shameless!

Xiao Qiushui couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and even Xiao Changkong's face twitched slightly.

Although everyone knows how shameless their master is, no one expected him to be this shameless!

"I don't have a father like you!"

No, I don't have a master like you!

My father was truly blind to have let me acknowledge such a shameless master as you!

Chen Tianba roared angrily. Now all he wanted was to escape and get as far away from these people as possible.

Unfortunately, he was unable to move. Not only had Xiao Changkong taken action to control him, but Xingchen Daoren had also secretly intervened, not only controlling his body but also silencing his voice!

This is above the outer gate, on the hillside of the outer gate, where countless cultivators reside.

Even some powerful figures from sects and cultivation families have come, many of whom are at or above the Nascent Soul stage.

If word got out about this affair involving the six of them, wouldn't they lose all face?

"Fourth junior brother, how can you speak to Master like that?"

You must know that Master has poured countless efforts into us; otherwise, how could you have achieved the Golden Core at the age of sixteen?

The usually composed Xiao Changkong suddenly spoke up and rebuked him.

"Senior Brother, you...you actually share the same idea as this old man?"

Chen Tianba looked at Xiao Changkong, his heart filled with resentment.

In his heart, his senior brother's authority far surpassed that of his master. He always felt that his senior brother was upright and incorruptible!

"Fourth Junior Brother, the five of us, master and disciples, are only asking you for a thousand top-grade spirit stones. Moreover, we've already discussed it; we won't lend them to you for free. Once we make a profit on the money we borrowed from you, we'll give you five percent interest."

That means if I lend you 1,000 top-grade spirit stones, I will return 1,050 to you.

In just a few days, you've made 250 top-grade spirit stones out of thin air. That's a huge windfall for you!

Xiao Changkong explained calmly.

"That's right, Fourth Senior Brother, we didn't lend you the money for no reason. We'll pay you interest!"

Xiao Qiushui nodded quickly. Lu Haoran and Ye Xinghe also nodded repeatedly.

"But, but are you really sure you can win? You won't lose the thousand top-grade spirit stones we lent you?"

Chen Tianba still felt uneasy and couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

……

Before he could finish speaking, four angry voices roared.

"What do you mean by this? You want to borrow money from me and you're acting so self-righteous?"

Chen Tianba became even angrier.

"You bastard, do you really think Junior Sister will lose this match and be inferior to that little brat?"

Ye Xinghe rushed straight to Chen Tianba, raised his hand and punched him hard on his bloodied shoulder, making a cracking sound.

"Of course Junior Sister won't lose! Junior Sister is invincible! So you were all betting on Junior Sister to win?"

Chen Tianba only then realized what was happening.

"Isn't that obvious? If we don't bet on Junior Sister to win, are we betting on that little bastard to win? If Junior Sister can't even beat that little bastard, what right does she have to be our Junior Sister?"

Ye Xinghe's eyes widened in anger.

"That's right. So, Fourth Brother, lending us spirit stones is a sure-fire way to make money."

"It's just five thousand top-grade spirit stones. Don't throw a tantrum. Hurry back up the mountain to change your clothes, go see your father, and borrow more spirit stones!"

With a big smile, Xingchen Daoren approached Chen Tianba.

At the same time, he gently stroked Chen Tianba's body from a distance.

The wounds on Chen Tianba's body healed quickly.

"That's right, that's right! Fourth brother, hurry up and change your clothes, look your best when you see your father! We're all waiting for your good news!"

Ye Xinghe and the others quickly put on smiles and said ingratiatingly.

They had to dress Chen Tianba up properly.

If Chen Tianba were to go see his father in his current state, the head of the Chen family probably wouldn't lend him a single penny. After all, Chen Tianba is his own son; he was sent to the Star Palace to cultivate, not to be abused.

"But, but I still feel like something's not right..."

Chen Tianba rubbed his head.

"What's wrong with this? Don't you trust us? Don't you trust our lovely junior sister?"

"Our junior sister is our most powerful junior sister! Even if a god came, he wouldn't be her match!"

"Of course, if you don't trust your junior sister, you don't have to lend us the money!"

"What's there to hesitate about? Junior Sister is definitely the most powerful!"

Fourth Senior Brother, you haven't changed your mind, have you?

……

The five people, master and disciples, immediately surrounded Chen Tianba again, denouncing him incessantly.
