Chapter 57 Winning So Much Money

There were a lot of people around the gambling stand. People like Dugu Muyou who was generous were few.

"One million gold is worth the second prize. Who is this woman? How dare she gamble with so much gold? What a fool!"

"Everyone has his own fate. Why can't I be so lucky as her!"

"Huh! Such a waste of money! Who would raise such a daughter? It is misfortune."

Many people around thought Dugu Muyou was crazy, but someone soon recognized who she was.

"It's Miss Muyou!"

"God! It's her! Isn't she out of her mind? Does she think that she will be the winner just because she passed the first round?"

"They have the same mother, but why are they so different?"

The noise around her was getting louder, and more and more people looked at Dugu Muyou. Although she could ignore it, she still didn't like this.

"Qingyue, what's your decision? We'd better leave this place."

After putting down the gold notes, Hua Qingyue turned around and said, "Okay. Let's go."

People around were in an uproar, pointing to Hua Qingyue and said, "Another mad man!"

The two returned to the Central Grandstand, and Hua Qingyue talked about the situation at the gambling booth vividly. Hua Qingshui didn't say anything because he wasn't interested in this. However, Blood Fox, who was taking a nap in his arms, immediately jumped into a rage.

It pointed at Dugu Muyou sadly and angrily with one of its front paws, but it was lastly discouraged and retracted into the Yuehua Diamond without saying anything in the end.

Blood Fox's performance did not have any impact on Dugu Muyou. After some rest, the second round of trial officially began. A new battle list was announced. There were only eighty contestants left, so this time it only needed to be divided into ten groups. After this round was over, the top forty was confirmed, so the atmosphere here became much tenser.

After the gong rang, Dugu Muyou left the Central Grandstand. She was still arranged at ring 9 and in the eighth group. Because she was not in a hurry, Dugu Muyou went to see other contestants first.

Dugu Qinglan, Dugu Herong, and Dugu Ziteng were the three most popular candidates for winners. They all passed the second round without any suspense. Dugu Piaopiao and Dugu Yaoyao also stayed, but Dugu Haoyu, who was Dugu Piaopiao's brother was defeated unfortunately. This was the last time he participated in the trial.

Dugu Muyou successfully defeated her opponent, and the second round of trials ended.

Among the top forty, the number of people from the direct line of the family was about one-third, and the rest were from the branches from all over the world.

Dugu Zhong announced the list of winners at the last minute.

"The top forty can stay in the house, and they will be put in an important position. You can get rich cultivation resources. In addition, the new residence is ready. You don't have to go back. Your luggage has been sent to the new residence. You can stay in this house tonight. Although today's trial is over, there will be more arduous tasks in the next six days. Please work harder."

"Clank! Clank! Clank!"

The bell rang, which meant it was the end of today's trial, and the gate of the Trial Hall opened wide. After tiresome cultivation for an entire day, contestants all went out. Some thought about going to the city to relax. Some wanted to go back to come up with some countermeasures with the collected information. Some were ready to go back home.

Dugu Muyou returned to her yard. Liu Pianpian eagerly waited for her at the gate of the yard. After hearing that everything went well, she was relieved.

"It's a pity that I can't watch you win with my own eyes," she said with regret.

"Mother, why doesn't Dad let you go to the Trial Hall?"

Liu Pianpian just shook her head with a sad look but refused to say the reason.

Last night, Liu Pianpian was suddenly called by Dugu Zhong. Nobody knew what they said. After returning, Liu Pianpian said that she could not go to see their contests. As for the reason, she still refused to say.

After having dinner at home, Dugu Muyou received a notification that someone was looking for her. Dugu Muyou met the person in the hall.

"It's you."

Standing in front of Dugu Muyou was the maid from the Bishui Palace. Dugu Muyou had seen her in that courtyard.

The maid took out a spirit wooden box and said respectfully, "Your Grace, I come here to give you something with the order of His Grace."

Dugu Muyou took the box suspiciously, but she did not open it on the spot.

"Is there anything else?"

The maid shook her head, but she still stood there without saying goodbye. Dugu Muyou knew she still had something to say, but she was hesitating, so Dugu Muyou waited patiently for a while.

The maid finally made up her mind, or she thought about her excuses. She said, "I am not sure that I can say it or not."

Dugu Muyou looked at her with a smile, and she knew that she was going to say it.

The maid was embarrassed for a while, coughed lightly, and said, "His Grace asked me to send some gold notes. After he knew that Your Grace borrowed some gold from Mr. Hua, His Grace asked me to do so on purpose. Although His Grace did not let me say this, I felt that I should tell Your Grace that if Your Grace encounters any difficulties, it is better to ask His Grace for help instead of asking others. If Your Grace does this, His Grace will feel better in his heart."

Only then did Dugu Muyou know that gold notes were in the box, and she recalled that Blood Fox had pointed her with its paw. She finally understood why it was angry.

Although Nangong Xun and Blood Fox were different, they were the same in some things, such as the attitude towards the fact that Hua Qingyue lent her one million gold today. Nangong Xun directly asked someone to send money over. He didn't even say it to her, which showed that he was upset for her. What a strange possessiveness!

"I will take it. You can go back to report."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and left.

Back in his room, Dugu Muyou opened the spirit wooden box. Inside it neatly laid some stacks of golden notes. It was a total of 10 million gold, so Dugu Muyou suddenly became a rich woman from a poor pauper with nothing.

Blood Fox jumped out of Yuehua Diamond and said with a grievance, "You need to pay back the money tomorrow. How could you borrow money from others, Your Grace? It was really a disgrace of Bishui Palace."

Dugu Muyou saw it was unhappy. She reached out her hands and patted its head, "Okay! Is His Grace angry with me? That's why he didn't show up?"

Blood Fox snorted and didn't answer. It laid obediently in Dugu Muyou's arms and let her stroke it casually.

The trial lasted seven days. The first day held the first and second rounds, and these two rounds ended. For the rest six days, there would be one round every day to gradually eliminate through selection or competition and finally determine the top ten, top three, and top one of this trial.

In fact, the smaller the number of contestants, the less time the contest took. Compared to the first day of the trial, participants would gradually be more tired in the following days.

Some people with bad luck would get injured in the battle. If it was only a minor injury, it was okay. If the injury was serious and could not be healed quickly, it would affect the rest contests. Therefore, luck was very important.

Because of this, this trial would be held for so many days, so participants could have more rest time.

On the second day of the trial, forty contestants would eliminate twenty contestants. Dugu Muyou passed the contest successfully. Several valued contestants from the house stayed, but Dugu Yaoyao was eliminated.

On the third day of the trial, Dugu Muyou passed the contest successfully and became one of the top ten.

On the fourth day of the trial, five out of ten would stay.

Dugu Zhong stood on the middle ring, announcing the result in a calm voice.

"The top five of this trial are Dugu Qinglan, Dugu Muyou, Dugu Ziteng, Dugu Herong, and Dugu Piaopiao.

"Please come to the ring to have the trial draw for the fifth day. This draw will determine tomorrow's battle groups. There are five people, so there will be a lucky one who gets the blank draw. Number one and number two are in the first battle group. Number four and number five are in the second battle group. As for the number three, congratulations, you can directly participate in the contest on the sixth day of the trial."

Perhaps to show the importance, the draw was in charge by Dugu Zhong, the Master. Dugu Muyou and the other four people walked to ring 1, and each drew the lot.

Dugu Qinglan's nervous voice was sounded, "Muyou, which number is yours?"

"I am number five. How about you?"

Dugu Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, "I am number one. I hope we can have a battle as late as possible."

Dugu Muyou nodded.

Dugu Zhong asked, "Which two are in the first battle group?"

Dugu Qinglan and Dugu Herong stepped forward.

In the Central Grandstand, Dugu Xiao suddenly looked very bad. Dugu Qinglan was the highest level among the five, so no one wanted to be her opponent. Dugu Herong was the only son of Dugu Xiao who had the qualification. Once he failed, there would be no chance for him anymore. However, three of Dugu Zhong's children had the qualification. No wonder Dugu Xiao looked bad.

Zhao Xue squinted at Dugu Xiao, and she couldn't help but smile with both pride and gloating.

Dugu Xiao said in a deep voice, "Don't be too happy. If Dugu Piaopiao contests with Dugu Ziteng later, you will cry!"

Zhao Xue smiled happily, "You don't need to worry about it. I believe in Piaopiao's luck."

Dugu Xiao frowned, "Are you not worried at all?"

Zhao Xue was slightly flurried and paused for a moment to explain, "Although Dugu Ziteng has a high level, he was from the branch. He may not be able to win Piaopiao in terms of weapons, cultivation methods, and so on."

Dugu Xiao seemed to accept this explanation and did not reply anymore.

On ring 1, Dugu Zhong continued, "Which two are number four and number five?"

Dugu Muyou took a step forward, and at the same time she looked to her side. A man in purple leapt to her eyes, and her opponent was Dugu Ziteng.

Dugu Piaopiao's was really lucky, and she could directly enter the next round.

The spiritual bell rang, announcing the end of this day's trial.

After these days of contests, people had a good understanding of the cultivators who stayed in the ring. Now this result was roughly in line with their expectations. There was only one exception, and that was Dugu Muyou.

Even if everyone watched her defeat her opponent step by step, it was still difficult for people to believe it in their minds. It was difficult to compare her with the other four cultivators because she was too famous for her incompetence.

For fifteen years, "incompetence" was synonymous with Dugu Muyou. When people mentioned this word, they would think of Dugu Muyou. Who could imagine that she would win like today? Even if it was the fact, it was difficult to accept.

In the Trial Hall, on the left side of the Central Grandstand, the gambling was still holding vigorously.

The odds of the other popular candidates did not change much. Dugu Muyou was the exception, which was now no longer possible for betting one to pay ten.

On the day Dugu Muyou placed her bet, and the people who laughed at her fiercely were ashamed. Many of them were even remorseful.
