16- Duan Xue

The people who just came in went to an empty table not far from theirs and sat down.

As Zhong Peng was about to pour himself another cup of wine he saw from the corner of his eyes that the people who walked in just now were staring at them, no to be precise they were staring at Zhou Shun.

But when he looked over to Zhou Shun he saw him calmly sipping his wine as if he didn't notice the look that the four were giving him.

"Who are they, " Zhong Peng asked curiously.

"Don't mind them, they are just some spoilt brats" Zhou Shun replied in a calm voice his voice was not loud but it was loud enough for the four people to hear what he just said.

It was obvious that he was taunting them, and Zhong Peng immediately regrets asking the question.

Just as expected the four immediately turned towards Zhou Shun, they were enraged, and they were looking at Zhou Shun fiercely.

"Brother Zhou Shun looks like we meet again," said the girl whom Zhong Peng was familiar with, there was no anger in her voice but she didn't hide the anger in her eye.

"Oh so it's sister Duan Xue of the frozen lake sect, I was not expecting to see you here, I heard that you were injured during one of the missions of your sect" Zhou Shun replied calmly.

"Oh are you disappointed to see me in one piece, " Duan Xue asked in a taunting voice.

" of course not I am very happy to see that you are safe" Zhou Shun replied with a playful tone.

"Won't you introduce me to your new friend?" she said casting a glance at Zhong Peng.

Zhong Peng cursed inwardly as all eyes were on him, everyone was curious to know the identity of the monster who could advance two cultivation levels in a day.

"Oh, this is brother Zhong Peng he is just a very good fighter I met earlier today" Zhou Shun replied proudly.

"Zhong Peng, I have not heard the name before," she said while looking at Zhong Peng.

"He just arrived today but he is a very good fighter," Zhou Shun said the very good fighter with a taunting voice.

"Hahaha, a very good fighter you said, just a pinnacle martial cultivator," Duan Xue said, everyone in the hall laughed as if they heard the best joke of the year, Zhong Peng was angry that Zhou Shun involved him in the conflict.

Ignoring everyone Zhou Shun said "Since you don't believe what I just said, why don't you pick one of them to duel with him," he said pointing at the men that came in with her "he just achieved a breakthrough so he needs someone to duel with" Zhou Shun added.

"Why would they want to duel with a lowly martial mortal cultivator," Duan Xue said proudly.

"Why don't we make a bet," Zhou Shun said.

"Why would I agree to your proposal" Duan Xue replied indifferently.

"Because I have something you would like to have," Zhou Shun said.

"And what could that be" Duan Xue inquired curiously.

"I happened to luckily come across a dying high nirvana tribulation ice mastiff and I managed to harvest its qi core so are you now interested in the bet," Zhou Shun said indifferently.

Everyone in the hall was shocked including Duan Xue.

"A high nirvana tribulation beast qi core, who exactly is this guy, is he just lucky, or is he lying!" Zhong Peng screamed inwardly.

"What bet are you ready to make I am interested, " Duan Xue said "Since he wants to offer me a free beast qi core I will gladly take it" she added sarcastically.

"If you win the beast qi core is yours but if you lose you will have to kowtow to him and acknowledge him as your grandpa," Zhou Shun said with a sly smile on his face.

"Why would I agree to that," Duan Xue said furiously.

"What, are you afraid of losing" "Ha ha ha," Zhou Shun said while laughing like a madman.

" Who said I was going loose, " Duan Xue said furiously.

" You either take the bet or leave it since you don't dare to agree to the bet," Zhou Shun said with a taunting smile on his face.

"Ok agreed, be ready to lose your precious qi core," she said proudly.

"You can't be so sure about that, choose who is fighting for you," Zhou Shun said.

"Shen Hong would be fighting him," she said pointing to a handsome young man standing beside her who was a middle true martial cultivator.

immediately after he said that the young man stood up and walked towards the center of the hall, Zhong Peng has left with no choice but to agree and go along with the plan and walked forward also he was now facing a middle true martial cultivator.

" This one here is Zhong please advise me, " Zhong Peng said bowing slightly.

"Ha ha ha!" "needless to say, I will properly give you some advice" Shen Hong laughed as he replied with obvious sarcasm.

immediately the fight began Shen Hong rushed forward and aimed a punch at Zhong Peng's chest giving him no chance to retreat Zhong Peng decided to meet the punch with his fist he concentrated all his strength into his right hand as he throws a punch forward.
