Lin Shen was puzzled. He sized the person up a few times, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen the man before.

He didn’t think he knew this person at all.

It was Qu Ke who took a step forward and frowned. “Kuang Hai, what are you doing?”

Others might not know, but Qu Ke knew that one of the three Xuandu Tokens was originally meant for Kuang Hai.

Because of the intervention of the Military Department, that Xuandu Token went to Lin Shen instead.

Kuang Hai had appeared here at this time and specifically asked for Lin Shen. It was obvious that he was here to cause trouble!

As expected, Kuang Hai looked at Qu Ke condescendingly and said coldly, “It’s none of your business, Qu Ke. Don’t be a busybody!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the ashen-faced Qu Ke and continued to look at Lin Shen and Shen Zening. He snorted coldly.

“What, you don’t even dare to admit your name?”

How could Lin Shen not tell that this person had ill intentions? However, he didn’t panic. He calmly took a step forward and smiled faintly.

“I’m Lin Shen. Why are you looking for me?”

Kuang Hai’s gaze immediately locked onto Lin Shen, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

“So you’re Lin Shen. You don’t look impressive. Do you dare to have a gambling battle with me? If you lose, give me the Xuandu Token!’¹

As soon as he said this, Qu Ke and Shen Zening’s expressions changed.

One of them was an inner sect disciple, and the other was the chief disciple of the upper house who had many connections with rhe sect. Naturally, they knew what a gambling battle was.

Shen Zening couldn’t oppose an official disciple, so he couldn’t say anything. However, Qu Ke didn’t have such worries. He immediately reprimanded him.

“Kuang Hai, don’t be unreasonable. The decision of the Xuandu Token was made by the institute heads of the Military Department. If you’re dissatisfied, just go and complain to them. Aren’t you afraid that 1 11 tell the Disciplinary Department that you’re coming after Junior Brother Lin in private?”

However, these harsh words didn’t intimidate Kuang Hai. Instead, he only snorted.

“The sect has a rule that disciples can freely initiate gambling battles. The Nine Yang Academy is also a part of the sect. Why can’t I initiate one with Lin Shen?”

At this point, Kuang Hat’s tone changed, and he looked at Lin Shen disdainfully.

“Of course, if you don’t dare to accept my challenge, feel free to reject me. I’ll know that the peerless genius that the sect is talking about is just a coward who doesn’t even dare to accept the bet!¹¹

“You!!!”

Qu Ke was furious, but he couldn’t refute it.

The sect didn’t explicitly mention that gambling battles couldn’t happen between official disciples and disciples of the academy. Technically, Kuang Hai wasn’t violating the sect’s rules.

Thinking of this, Qu Ke could only say, “As an inner sect disciple, you took the initiative to challenge the academy’s disciples. You actually have the cheek to do such a thing!”

Kuang Hai didn’t care at all. Instead, he pointed at Lin Shen and laughed. “What’s wrong with that? He’s a genius who severely injured a cultivator master when he’s only at the Bright Aperture Stage. How many inner sect disciples can do such a thing? Isn’t it natural for me to initiate a gambling battle with him?”

Although she was praising Lin Shen, her tone was filled with mockery.

Qu Ke’s expression froze when he heard this.

In fact, although the news of Lin Shen severely injuring a cultivator master spread like wildfire in the sect, most people didn’t believe it.

Qu Ke included.

Of course, the incident might be exaggerated, but Lin Shen’s strength was still recognized by many people.

In the eyes of many, Lin Shen was no longer treated as an ordinary academy disciple.

They felt he was stronger than Shen Zening.

Therefore, just as Kuang Hai had said, even if the news of him starting a bet with Lin Shen spread, he would most likely not be criticized too much.

Lin Shen already realized what was going on.

Back then, Si Yuanpei had said that the three Xuandu Tokens had already been distributed.

Since Lin Shen could obtain one, someone must have lost the opportunity.

And now, this victim had come knocking on his door.

“It’s Xuandu Token’s fault.”

Lin Shen shook his head.

Even so, he didn’t feel guilty.

After all, he had risked his life to obtain the Xuandu Token.

Even if Kuang Hai was dissatisfied, he should complain to the heads of the Military Department.

After all, they were the ones who had intercepted the token, but they hadn’t given Kuang Hai enough compensation.

Kuang Hai didn’t complain to the heads but came to find trouble with Lin Shen. He was purely bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!

Thinking of this, Lin Shen couldn’t help but smile and say, “If you want to gamble, 1 won’t object.”

As soon as he said this, Qu Ke and Shen Zening were shocked.

Kuang Hai, on the other hand, was overjoyed. His eyes flashed with a smile as if his scheme had succeeded.

Qu Ke couldn’t help but say, “Junior Brother Lin, you actually don’t have to…”

Lin Shen waved his hand and cut him off. He smiled and said, “Thankyou for speaking up for me, Senior Brother Qu. However, it’s getting late. Instead of letting him keep pestering us, it’s better to resolve this issue as soon as possible so that we can get on our way.”

The calmness and confidence in his words stunned Qu Ke

Kuang Hai’s face became extremely gloomy.

He wasn’t stupid, so how could he not tell that Lin Shen was looking down on him? He was immediately filled with hatred. He made up his mind to not hold back when they fought later. He wanted to severely injure Lin Shen. Not only would Lin Shen lose the Xuandu Token, but he would also have to recuperate in bed for a few months!

Just as Kuang Hai was thinking maliciously about how to deal with Lin Shen, he saw the latter turn to look at him.

“You said you wanted to use the Xuandu Token as a bet.. I can agree to it, but what do you plan to use as a bet?”
