Lin Qingqian smiled embarrassedly. She was not optimistic about Huo Jiuchen, but she was free at the Huo family and didn't bet on Huo Jiuchen to win. But if she bet on Huo Jiuchen, there was an 80% chance that she might lose the money.

She was not optimistic about Huo Jiucen because Huo Jiucen had poor personal abilities. On the contrary, she knew Huo Jiucen's strength very well. Zhao Jingyun's ability to use Xie Zhen and Huo Jiucen as swordsmen is enough to prove that these two people are the best among the younger generation.

She didn't want Huo Jiuchen to win, largely because Lin Qingqian was very good at judging people. Based on her understanding of Zhao Jingyun and Shui Bai's personality, 80% of people were unlucky in this competition.

As for who was unlucky, she really didn't guess Huo Jiucen.

She had just been humiliated in public by "Xie Zhen", and Zhao Jingyun must find ways to vent her anger. At the end of the competition, there will be a mysterious character and the winner. It is obvious that Zhao Jingyun wants to take the opportunity to deal with people.

Since Zhao Jingyun wants to deal with Xie Zhen, he will definitely try every means to make Xie Zhen persevere until the end.

Haha, no matter how powerful Huo Jiucen is, it is useless. Who says the rules of the competition are in the hands of Zhao Jingyun?

In a certain way, Zhao Jingyun and her are the same type of people, both of whom are shameless and can take advantage of loopholes. Haha, she likes it!

Unfortunately, she understood that it was useless, and she could not tell the Huo family directly that she had an affair with Zhao Jingyun in private, and Zhao Jingyun wanted to cause trouble for her.

All his own money was earned with hard work, and Lin Qingqian said that he didn't want to throw one tael of money into the water in vain.

What should I do? She looked up and saw Huo Qingyin's attentive and expectant smile, and the smile on her face seemed even more awkward. At the same time, she felt aching for money in her heart, and she felt so painful.

Oh, her hard-earned money.

She hasn't placed bets for a long time, which is enough to show that she is not optimistic about herself.

Huo Jiucen's passionate heart suddenly became colder.

"Sister Lin is not optimistic about Brother Jiu?" Huo Qingyin also saw it. She held Lin Qingqian's arm and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the reason, why don't I bet."

"Yes, I think so too."

"If Lao Jiu loses, our money will be wasted. We have to be more cautious."

"Old Jiu isn't that useless, right?" Finally, even Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Jiucen with suspicious eyes.

Huo Jiucen's heart suddenly became cold, and the stabbing of his relatives was even more heartbreaking.

Finally, the remaining Mr. Huo Wu and others looked at Huo Jiucen with suspicion, and Huo Jiucen was stabbed again.

Is he that bad? No one looks down on him.

"It's not that I look down on Mr. Huo Jiu." Under the enthusiastic eyes of the Huo family and the sad young wife's gaze, Lin Qingqian finally explained embarrassedly, "I don't want to bet because Mr. Jiu is too outstanding."

What do you mean? Everyone in the Huo family pricked up their ears, and Huo Jiucen's face also had a little more glory.

It’s just that he looks down on him and dislikes him. As for other reasons, he doesn’t care.

"We can put all participants together to analyze it." Lin Qingqian felt distressed. She had to find the reason. Even if she was making up, she had to explain clearly why she was unwilling to bet Huo Jiuchen to win. The real reason was that she couldn't bear to pay money, and the inside story could not be revealed.

"First of all, we don't know the competition rules set by the prince. If the first competition is a draw of lots, one-to-one, the Ninth Prince must at least enter the top three, and the possibility of winning the leader is very high. But if it is a group battle, it's hard to say." Lin Qingqian said meaningfully. "There is another challenge, which is actually not particularly beneficial to the Ninth Prince."

"Why?" Huo Qinglan asked in surprise.

After listening to her analysis, Mr. Huo Wu quickly understood the reason.

They looked at Lin Qingqian with admiration and were secretly happy for Huo Jiucen. Although Lin Qingqian is a woman, she has a delicate heart. In some ways, her knowledge is not worse than that of a man. Moreover, Lin Qingqian is very firm in his heart. To be honest, they are becoming more and more optimistic about the marriage between Lao Jiu and the Lin family.

"If you choose a melee, everyone may want to remove the most powerful one first. Otherwise, everyone will be his stepping stones." Lin Qingqian's lies became more and more sloppy. In fact, she also thought so. If she was Zhao Jingyun, she would definitely choose a melee or a challenge. "If it was a challenge, with Xie Zhen's temperament, he would definitely face the Ninth Prince directly. No matter who can win, he will eventually become the target of public criticism. No matter how powerful a person is, after several wheel battles, who can guarantee that he will win?"

Huo Qingyin quickly withdrew his words, "Then forget it, I'll bet after the rules come out."

The other women followed suit.

Huo Jiucen's face turned completely black. Is he that bad? He hurts him in person like this.

"Please be blessed." Mr. Huo Wu looked at Huo Jiuchen with sympathy. Lao Jiu is excellent, but there are also several powerful young masters in the Pingyang City family. Heroes and heroes are hard to beat Four-sided Fist. I don't know how Lao Jiu won, but he will definitely be beaten in the end.

Sure enough, it’s hard to get a sword or something!

After Lin Qingqian analyzed, she turned everyone's rhythm into a wrong way, which made her embarrassed to look at Huo Jiucen.

Because of the competition, everyone finished their lunch in a hurry and went outside quickly.

The people in the palace were very considerate and built some simple sheds on the competition venue, with stools and tables placed in the sheds.

People from the four major families went over and found a shed to sit down.

Then, the others also chose people whom they knew to come and gathered together. Mrs. Lei felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Lin Qingqian and the Huo family joking.

The Lei family is also a relative of the Huo family, but even if she enters the Huo family, the Huo family's female family will not be so intimate with her.

Thinking of a possibility, Mrs. Lei's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then it became complicated. If it was really as she had guessed, then she would never be able to alienate Lin Qingqian.

In fact, there was no deep hatred between Mrs. Lei and Lin Qingqian. She just felt a little confused because of the last incident and wanted to let Lin Qingqian go. Now that she figured it out, she laughed and participated in the topic, and became more close to Lin Qingqian on the surface and words.

Seeing this, Lei Fengxing's daughter-in-law Yin was secretly surprised. She was a little confused. On the way she came, her mother-in-law still had a knot in Lin Qingqian. Why was she willing to get close to Lin Qingqian in a blink of an eye?

However, no matter what, it is a good thing to be able to get closer to Lin Qingqian. So she also joined the topic with a smile.

The best topic at the moment is of course to bet who can win and then bet.

"I bet the ninth prince," Yin said with a smile.

The other women with good relationships with the Huo family all responded with a smile.

When the Huo family heard this, their faces showed a look of laughter and crying, and their families had not placed bets yet.

"Wait first and then place the bet." Mrs. Huo said magnanimously, "The rules have not yet come out, so it is hard to say whether Lao Jiu can win."

Everyone just thought she was modest and made a bet with a smile.

The Huo family's female family...

Lin Qingqian also held back her mouth and chuckled.

Seeing this, Huo Jiucen looked at her again with grief.

Mrs. Lei's eyes were sharp-eyed and she felt secretly satisfied. Sure enough, she guessed it right.

To be honest, Mrs. Lei was a little confused about how the Huo family fell in love with Lin Qingqian. Although Lin Qingqian had good medical skills, her status in practice was not high, and the Lin family was still a small family and had no background at all. Lin Qingqian was devoted to business. Such a woman was not as good as Huo Jiucen.

Fu Nianzhen and Xue Xiangrong were also surrounded by a group of people. Because of their different identities, the people around them were also different.

The Fu family is mainly rich businessmen who do business, while the Xue family is mostly female relatives of a farmer or a civil servant. The Xie family is mostly female relatives of a military officer. As for the Huo family, it is interesting, and there are all kinds of identities.

Xue Xiangrong and Fu Nianzhen were joking with everyone, but their eyes were filled with secretly looking at the Huo family.

Lin Qingqian was wearing a very low-key dress, wearing a blue smoky shirt, scattered flowers and mists, and only two milky white ribbons were decorated on her head. It seemed simple, but her whole body was like a lotus from the water.

Xue Xiangrong and Fu Nianzhen recognized that the fabric on her body came from the royal palace. At that time, they went to the Hongzhuang Pavilion and had all taken a fancy to this fabric. Unfortunately, the people from the Hongzhuang Pavilion said that there was only one piece in the entire shop, which had been settled in advance by the Jingyue Palace.

It turned out that Zhao Jingyun ordered the fabric for Lin Qingqian.

The two women felt so sad, but they didn't dare to attack Lin Qingqianzhen. Even Fu Nianzhen, who was usually arrogant and domineering, did not dare!

Just as everyone was joking, Zhao Jingyun finally arrived late. He sat down on the stage, looked at everyone from a high place, with a smile on his face, and was still the gentle and humble young master.

"Today's competition, I use this evil-proof sword as the first prize. I hope that the sword will be matched with heroes. I hope that more young heroes can appear in Pingyang City." He said with a smile.

A burst of cheers suddenly came from below.

"My subordinates and a few brothers also want to participate in the competition, and I hope the prince will allow it." Mu Qing knelt in front of Zhao Jingyun with his fists.

Huo family...

As expected, Lin Qingqian guessed it was not wrong at all. The martial arts of the guards around the prince were no worse than Xie Zhen and Huo Jiucen. If they joined, Huo Jiucen wanted to get the sword, hahaha...

It’s not that they look down on their own people, but that the enemy is too strong and everyone is very self-aware.

Huo Jiucen had a smile on his face and a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.

No matter how difficult it is, he cannot lose face in front of Lin Qingqian.

"I have approved it." Zhao Jingyun agreed readily.

Many breathing sounds came from below. It was over. I knew they would have been betting later. It would be hard to say who would win in the end.

Thinking of his money, it might be wasted, everyone was so heartbroken that they thrust in pain.

"The first game was a melee, and the ten winners stayed." Zhao Jingyun announced.

The Huo family couldn't help but look at Lin Qingqian again.

"Sister Lin, thank you so much." Huo Qingyin hugged Lin Qingqian's arm and was so excited that she wanted to kiss her a few times.
