Chapter 2366 What do you want to bet on?

"There's one more, which can barely be considered one."

Wang Taohua told the truth.

What do you mean by "barely considered"?

Lu Hansheng asked in surprise.

Wang Taohua: "A guest elder of the Qingzong sect, and the guardian of the monument. His ancestors were the Marquis of Changjing, and the lineage has been passed down through generations."

"How come everything is related to the Azure Sect?"

Many of the world's top experts have an inseparable relationship with the Azure Sect.

"It's all because the Azure Sect produced Chen Qingyuan." Wang Taohua pointed out the truth in one sentence, and then teased Lu Hansheng: "If it weren't for Old Chen, would you have been staying at the Azure Sect all this time?"

"Too."

Lu Hansheng did not deny it.

"As long as Old Chen doesn't die, Qingzong and Daoyi Academy will not decline."

Some people, unable to become high-ranking members of the Qingzong sect, try every means to join the Daoyi Academy.

This was true, and all the emperors nodded in agreement.

"Who else has a close relationship with Emperor Taiwei?"

The journey home was slow, and Lu Hansheng raised a series of questions, focusing on the Taiwei Emperor, to get to the bottom of things.

Having gone through this crisis, Lu Hansheng felt he needed to gain a deeper understanding of China. If something similar were to happen again, it would be disastrous.

"Huang Xingyan".

Wang Taohua revealed a name.

"Who is this person?"

Lu Hansheng asked, puzzled.

"The descendants of Emperor Taiwei".

Wang Taohua took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

This news was so explosive that it greatly surprised Lu Hansheng: "What!"

Actually, if Lu Hansheng paid a little attention, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out this information.

Wang Taohua said, "He is also one of the guest elders of the Qingzong Sect. He has not yet reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, so you naturally won't pay too much attention to him."

Since the bridge collapsed, no one has been able to cross the threshold of the ninth step of the bridge.

Many extraordinary talents are stopped at the eighth step of the Divine Bridge. No matter how hard they try, they cannot break through the shackles and are helpless.

"Old Lu, as long as you humbly ask for my advice, I will definitely forgive you and patiently answer your questions."

Despite being the weakest among those present, Wang Taohua acted like the eldest brother.

Although the emperors were displeased, they could only suppress their anger and could not vent it.

There was nothing she could do; Wang Taohua had powerful connections.

Lu Hansheng's experience served as a warning to the emperors. Provoking Wang Taohua was not a good thing.

After chatting for a long time, Lu Hansheng gained a new understanding of the Taiwei Emperor. Then, he changed the subject: "As far as I know, there are three peak-level experts in the Divine Continent. Besides the Taiwei Emperor, there are also the Empress and Mu Cangyan."

The emperors often discussed the story of Mu Cangyan.

This scheme to achieve immortality was created by Mu Cangyan.

"How much does Fellow Daoist Wang know about the Empress's affairs?"

Despite being beaten up, Lu Hansheng remained humble, addressing everyone as "fellow Daoist" without the slightest hint of disrespect.

"You asked the right person."

Lu Hansheng's question was exactly what Wang Taohua wanted to hear.

Snapped!

Wang Taohua gently placed the jade cup on the table.

Then, Wang Taohua glanced at the emperors and said with a smug look, "I once sat down with the Empress to discuss the Dao, and we had a very pleasant conversation."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the emperors were struck dumb, their eyes widening like copper bells. Even these seasoned veterans found it difficult to remain calm, their faces filled with disbelief.

This was the first time Ye Liujun and Rong Che had heard this information. Their hearts stopped for a moment, then pounded violently, as if they were about to burst out of their chests and leap into the depths of the starry sky.

Old Wang is definitely bragging!

Everyone thought so.

In their eyes, Wang Taohua's ability to get involved with Emperor Taiwei was an incredible stroke of luck, something to be envied.

If Wang Taohua claimed to have seen the legendary Empress by chance, no one would doubt her.

However, Wang Taohua's statement just now did not refer to meeting the Empress, but rather to sitting and discussing philosophy with her.

Isn’t this nonsense!

What level is the Empress? What level are you? You're sitting here discussing philosophy. You're really shameless.

"Old Wang, can you tone down your bragging a bit? Who would believe what you're saying?"

Rong Che questioned.

No one present believed it; they simply thought it was Wang Taohua praising herself.

"These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth."

Wang Taohua feigned helplessness and sighed softly.

"Forgive my bluntness, but you were able to get Emperor Taiwei to intervene because of your status as Marquis of Linjiang. As for discussing the Dao with the Empress, do you... have the qualifications?"

They're all old friends, so Ye Liujun speaks quite frankly.

Although the others remained silent, they largely agreed with Ye Liujun's words.

Are you questioning me?

Wang Taohua was enraged and embarrassed.

"Can't you see?"

Ye Liujun countered with a question.

"Little Fireman! What's the bet?"

Wang Taohua thought this nickname suited Ye Liujun very well and blurted it out.

bass!

Upon hearing "Little Fireman" again, Ye Liujun's face immediately darkened, and a layer of eerie flames appeared on his body, clearly indicating his anger.

"Little Peach Blossom, what do you want to bet?"

Ye Liujun stopped calling him "Old Wang" and they started hurting each other.

To be fair, Lu Hansheng is quite good at coming up with nicknames, which perfectly match each person's personality.

"Would you dare bet your entire fortune?"

Immediately, Wang Taohua took out all her spatial artifacts and placed them on the table.

On the table were more than a dozen top-grade Qiankun bags and dozens of Sumeru rings.

Its resources are countless.

"Is it such a big deal?"

Rong Che and the others' expressions changed slightly as they looked at Wang Taohua's posture, and they whispered among themselves.

Ye Liujun originally thought that taking out a few million top-grade spirit stones was just a token gesture for fun, but who knew that Wang Taohua would be so extravagant, directly pulling out all her savings.

For a moment, Ye Liujun was taken aback and did not give a clear response.

"If you're not brave enough to gamble, then don't call it a day."

Wang Taohua snorted coldly.

"What's there to be afraid of! I just don't believe it!"

Ye Liujun had once been in close proximity to the White-Haired Empress, after all, it was the Empress who had saved his life. According to Ye Liujun's understanding, the Empress was aloof by nature and it was impossible for her to sit down and discuss philosophy with Wang Taohua, let alone have a pleasant conversation.

Snap!

Ye Liujun placed everything on the table except for the coffin lid, glared at Wang Taohua, and shouted, "The bet is made!"

"We can't very well go to the Empress to verify whether this is true or not!"

Rong Che raised a very crucial point.

Gambling is gambling, but who can prove it?

Wang Taohua crossed her arms and said confidently, "I have my own way of proving it."

"What if the evidence you present fails to convince us?"

Ye Liujun questioned.

"You will definitely be convinced."

Wang Taohua was confident.

Ye Liujun said coldly, "You're spouting nonsense."

"Stop with all that nonsense. In short, are you willing to bet? If not, then don't question me."
