Seeing the idol-level genius girl of the Cultivation World, Kang Luoying, holding the Qingyun Sword and kneeling in front of Shen Qiang, all the cultivators present were instantly stunned.

"I can't believe my eyes! This Kang Luoying became a Mixed Element Realm expert at seventeen, a talent unparalleled in millennia. Not only that, but what's even more impressive is that she easily defeated her senior peers who had practiced for over a decade more, which shows she's not just a pretty face but a true combat genius. But such an outstanding girl kneeling to Shen Qiang?"

"I've suffered a severe blow to my heart! She's my idol, my dream girl, so brilliant and dazzling as a star, yet she willingly submits to Shen Qiang!"

"How can it be! I must have seen a fake Kang Luoying. She's a genius, unprecedented in the Cultivation World to enter the Mixed Element Realm at seventeen. Where's her pride? Her dreams? How can she submit to Shen Qiang like this!"

As they were shocked.

The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, after checking Kang Youquan's injuries, looked at Kang Luoying offering the sword to Shen Qiang and roared angrily, "Outrageous, Kang Luoying, how dare you give away the Qingyun Sword of Qingyun Sword Pavilion!"

The moment these words were spoken, the eyes of numerous cultivators turned towards Shen Qiang.

At this moment, Shen Qiang smiled, calmly took the Qingyun Sword from Kang Luoying's hands, twirled it gracefully, and said with a smile, "The Great Elder is really humorous. We previously agreed that I would bet ten Jiazi Pills on the Qingyun Sword. Now that Kang Luoying has won, this sword rightfully belongs to the Shen family."

The moment these words were spoken, the face of the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion turned pale and he was dumbfounded.

The cultivators were all in awe.

"That's right, we are all witnesses. Shen Qiang bet ten Jiazi Pills on the Qingyun Sword of Qingyun Sword Pavilion. Now that Kang Luoying has won, the sword naturally belongs to Shen Qiang."

"Something seems off, though. I recall it was just a matter between the two in Qingyun Sword Pavilion. Let me think it through... The Jiazi Pills were provided by Shen Qiang, the Qingyun Sword by Qingyun Pavilion, and the bet was on whether Kang Luoying or Kang Youquan was stronger. But the ownership of the Qingyun Sword wasn't specified, so by logic, it should now belong to Shen Qiang. Yes, the Qingyun Sword is Shen Qiang's."

"Come on, do you even think? Shen Qiang clearly said he was betting on Kang Luoying winning, but didn't mention the sword would belong to Kang Luoying after winning. Hence, the Qingyun Sword now indeed belongs to the Shen family."

Hearing the conversations around.

The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion was trembling with anger, pointing at Shen Qiang's nose, he said, "You deceitful scoundrel, you set a trap for me!"

"People die for wealth, and birds die for food." Shen Qiang smiled and said, "This was your own choice. If Kang Luoying had lost, wouldn't you have been happily gloating with ten Jiazi Pills?"

The Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion angrily said, "During the wager, you misled me with your words, making me think the win or loss was a matter between our disciples, which is why I agreed. So our bet is void, return the sword, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed with delight, and he glanced at the Baihua Palace Master, whose eyes were amazedly fixed on him, and said, "Words need evidence. I never misled you."

The phone played a recording.

Everyone present clearly heard the Baihua Palace Master laughing, "Why trouble yourself, Great Elder? Whether the Qingyun Sword is in Kang Youquan's hands or Kang Luoying's, it remains within the Qingyun Sword Pavilion."

"And now, there's Shen Qiang foolishly adding ten Jiazi Pills to the mix, why not just let them compete?"

"If we win, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion gets Elixir Pills, if we lose, it's just a change of which disciple uses the Qingyun Sword. This sure-win deal is hard to come by."

The cultivators present immediately shot sneaky glances at the Baihua Palace Master.

"Hehehe, at the time it didn't seem like much, but now hearing this, it seems the Qingyun Sword Pavilion wasn't tricked by Shen Qiang, but was instead played by the Baihua Palace."

"Hahaha, this Great Elder is really amusing. He greedily eyed Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills but now blames anyone but himself. Does it work? I'd bet my life Shen Qiang won't return the Qingyun Sword."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Originally, it felt like Baihua Palace was scheming against Shen Qiang, two beauties going nose-to-nose, but in the end, the Baihua Palace Master gave Shen Qiang a divine assist, helping him get the Qingyun Sword. Where do you go to reason this?"

Under the sneaky eyes of everyone, the Baihua Palace Master looked at the glaring Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion and smiled slightly, "I originally thought Kang Youquan was a seasoned expert, absolutely impossible to lose to that young girl Kang Luoying, so I kindly wanted to help your Qingyun Sword Pavilion win ten Jiazi Pills."

"But unexpectedly, he turned out to be a trash who couldn't even beat a teenage girl, so this matter can't be blamed on me, nor on the Great Elder. The blame lies solely on Kang Youquan's arrogance and incompetence, for squandering the trust the Qingyun Sword Pavilion placed in him."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes brightened immediately, and he inwardly praised her.

Because this Baihua Palace Master, not only is she voluptuously pretty; more importantly, she's adept at handling matters tactically, discarding any responsibility from herself with a single sentence, leaving Qingyun Sword Pavilion unable to resent her further.

Not only that, but she also subtly suggested to the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion, indicating that the problem was with Kang Youquan's ambition, betraying their trust.

In the current situation, with the Qingyun Sword lost, and Kang Youquan having broken an arm, his future looked bleak. Right now, he was practically the perfect scapegoat. Even if he refused to bear the blame, with his crippled condition, he had no future left. Bearing the blame would ensure the Great Elder remains unaffected.

What kind of person is the Great Elder of Qingyun Sword Pavilion?

A clever individual who instantly comprehended, his pale face regained some color, and then he respectfully gave a deep bow to the Baihua Palace Master, saying, "What the Palace Master says is correct, the real culprit here is Kang Youquan who is more failure-prone than successful, I'm informing the Pavilion Master immediately, he must be severely punished!"

The freshly bandaged Kang Youquan, preparing for a limb regeneration surgery, stared in wide-eyed anger, "Grandfather, how can this all be my fault?"

Looking at Kang Youquan's pale face, the Great Elder sighed inwardly, thinking, foolish boy, you lost the Qingyun Sword, the Sect Treasure of Qingyun Sword Pavilion. If you don't bear this responsibility, my position as an elder will soon end, and the whole sect will crumble along with it,.

So he put on a stern face, righteously declaring, "Kang Youquan, I, as the Great Elder, will not show leniency to any disciple who makes mistakes, so you go undergo treatment first. As for how you are to be dealt with for your wrongdoings, wait for the sect's notification!"
