《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 723 – Bet
Advertisement
Qin Yu sighed inwardly. As he thought, things wouldn’t be resolved so easily. As he saw Moon Shadow and Jasmine about to leave, he suddenly said, “Senators, please wait a moment.”
Moon Shadow and Jasmine looked over, “What else does Mister Ning Qin have to say?”
Qin Yu said, “I have a proposition. I hope that we can resolve this matter using more moderate methods to avoid causing too great a disturbance.”
Jasmine’s eyes flashed, “Mister Ning Qin, please speak.”
Qin Yu said, “I will be helping the Hidden Fog Sect in the Beast King War of the Seven Sects that will soon begin. If the Hidden Fog Sect emerges as the final victor then the Dark Parliament will no longer disturb my disciple. How about it?”
This was the true proposition that he had prepared after mulling things over. He bet that the Dark Parliament would definitely agree to this.
Moon Shadow seemed to be both far and close, his voice coming from the horizon. “Mister Ning Qin, do you speak the truth?”
Qin Yu nodded, “If I am defeated, I will offer you the Chaotic Sky Chronicle with both hands, without any complaints.”
Jasmine looked deeply at Qin Yu. “The two of us cannot decide this matter by ourselves. I ask Mister Ning Qin to wait for the time being. We will reply within three days.”
Qin Yu smiled. “Take care.”
Beneath the street lamp, Moon Shadow and Jasmine turned and left. Their figures converged into the stream of people, soon vanishing from sight.
Under his black robes, beads of sweat suddenly formed on Qin Yu’s forehead. Although he had appeared to be casually conversing just now, the truth was that there had been layers upon layers of dangers. He even suspected that if it weren’t for him continuously tossing out bombs that surpassed the Dark Parliament’s expectations and ruined their rhythm, then the other party might have suddenly attacked.
Until now, the Dark Parliament had concealed their existence from the eyes of the people. Killing and silencing witnesses was absolutely something they were familiar with.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened, and he had even obtained an extra harvest. In the eyes of the Dark Parliament, he had a ‘great background’. It wasn’t hard to detect this from Moon Shadow and Jasmine’s actions.
If so, even if the Dark Parliament tried to do something dirty and attack him in the future, they would do so with some scruples in mind. This could be considered another layer of protection for his own safety.

Hu –
Letting out a breath of air, Qin Yu turned and left. He swept his eyes around and saw several people giggling and blushing at Moon Shadow and Jasmine. He forced a smile and shook his head. These people had been captivated by the beautiful appearance of the two Senators. However, they had no idea that they stood on the edge of a volcano that was about to erupt and had taken a brief trip to death’s door.
If battle had broken out, everyone nearby would have been drawn in. At that time, it wasn’t hard to imagine what their fates would have been.
The concealed Hidden Fog Sect cultivators quietly gathered. They asked, “Mister, is there a need to send people to track them?”
Qin Yu shook his head. “No need. Don’t meddle, otherwise it will provoke great trouble for the Hidden Fog Sect.”
He wasn’t speaking just to frighten them. With the Dark Parliament’s strength, subverting a sect was easy.
The Hidden Fog Sect cultivators were left in a cold sweat. They knew of Qin Yu’s status as a Grand Expert and firmly believed his words. If Mister Ning Qin gave them such a dire warning then the strength of these people could be imagined. Fortunately none of them had acted out on their own, otherwise it would have been too late to regret!
“Let’s go.”
After warning the Hidden Fog Sect cultivators, Qin Yu turned and left. He was only afraid that these people would try to do something reckless and cause the Dark Parliament to misunderstand him, destroying all of his plans today. Otherwise, what did the lives of these Hidden Fog Sect people have to do with him?
The Dark Parliament was incredibly efficient. Two days after the meeting, Qin Yu received a reply: The Dark Parliament agrees to Mister Ning Qin’s request. We welcome Mister Ning Qin’s honorable presence at the battlefield of the Seven Beast Kings War.
Hu –
Hearing Yun Die read out the message in the jade slip, Qin Yu let out a breath of relief and smiled. As he expected, the Dark Parliament had agreed!
Yun Die had a touched expression but she also appeared worried and restless. She whispered, “Teacher, are you really sure?”
Qin Yu had only told her that he found a way to deal with the secret influence that was trying to seize the Chaotic Sky Chronicle. After coming into contact with them, he had raised the possibility of a bet. He didn’t speak too in-depth about it.

But with Yun Die’s intelligence, it wasn’t hard for her to guess how formidable the opponent was. The incident with Hidden Tiger Lagoon was the best evidence of this, and even her powerful teacher was forced into a passive position.
They clearly knew that teacher was a Grand Expert boundary existence. With the other party’s strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to find this out. And yet, they still dared to agree to the bet. From this it could be seen that they weren’t afraid.
Qin Yu smiled. “Don’t worry. Since I was the one who took the initiative to propose this bet with them, I am certainly confident in myself.”
With the Dark Parliament’s strength, since they had decided to settle victory and defeat within the Beast King War, they wouldn’t do anything else in the meantime.
In other words, the danger had been temporarily lifted. Qin Yu looked at his young disciple who was still furrowing her eyebrows together. “You have been thinking too much these days. Go back and rest.”
Qin Yu’s self-confidence slightly relieved Yun Die. “Yes, teacher.” She respectfully bowed. When she turned to leave, there was a look of resolve on her face.
She felt nothing but gratitude towards teacher. If they could win the bet, that would be the best possible result. Even if they were defeated she would feel no enmity towards teacher.
But those people, they could give up any idea of obtaining the Chaotic Sky Chronicle. At the worst she would just kill herself and put everything to rest. She would destroy this treasure that seized the world’s good fortune…the Ying Family’s thousands of lives had already died for this, so why should she be afraid of dying?
Looking at Yun Die’s back as she left, feeling the firm will from her frail figure, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up with appreciation.
When people walked through the world, how could they not have a bottom line that they adhered to? He was the same and so was this disciple of his. He was even more satisfied with her performance.
Of course, Qin Yu wouldn’t stare blankly on as Yun Die stepped upon the road to destruction. Because his previous statement definitely wasn’t just to comfort Yun Die.
The Dark Parliament was indeed formidable, but he possessed the little blue lamp. When combined with the ultra attributes of the Chaotic Sky Chronicle, he stood at the pinnacle of beast trainers. Even crushing other Grand Experts wouldn’t be difficult.
Perhaps the Dark Parliament was fully confident in this bet. But, in Qin Yu’s eyes, the result was doomed from the moment they agreed. Now, what he needed to consider was whether or not the Dark Parliament would accept their loss once they were defeated.
After all, the so-called ‘super influence’ behind him didn’t exist.
After thinking for some time, Qin Yu let out a breath of relief and suppressed these thoughts. Since this issue didn’t have a solution for the time being, then he might as well take things as they came. Perhaps a favorable turn would come.
The most critical issue right now was to cure the dark star ice serpent. It was the key to the Hidden Fog Sect’s victory.

Zhou Li and Ji Yun left Midmorning City. They followed the latter’s suggestion and chose not to use a transmission array. Instead, they took a large-scale transportation flying boat that would take them across the First Moon Mountain Range and then enter the Eastern Great Plains.
The entire travel schedule would take around ten days. Fortunately, they left earlier; neither of them wanted to miss the extraordinary beginning of the Beast King War.
When Zhou Li agreed to ride the flying boat, this in itself represented a kind of signal. Ji Yun became even more energetic. Along the way he introduced the sights and landscapes, and illustrated stories about the powerhouses that would appear, showing off his profound knowledge.
Zhou Li wasn’t disgusted by Ji Yun’s attempts to be more intimate with her. Otherwise, she would never have agreed to travel with him.
But she still hadn’t decided whether she wanted to be in a relationship with Ji Yun. It wasn’t that she was not satisfied with Ji Yun, but that she instinctively believed that it was best to be extra cautious for this kind of thing.
“Zhou Li, the flying boat stopped to replenish supplies not too long ago. That place just happens to produce a strange kind of spirit fruit. Eating them helps nourish the body and beautify one’s appearance. You can keep watching the scenery, I will go ask if I can purchase one on the flying boat.” Ji Yun smiled as he spoke.

Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR
