I am the snake demon!

"The Heavenly Wolf Chasing the Moon Formation!"

Upon seeing the phantom image of Sirius appear in the chessboard world, Zhang Huan stood up in shock on the high platform.

The Heavenly Wolf Chasing the Moon Formation is an advanced formation compared to the Lone Wolf Reflecting Shadow Formation.

Intermediate spirit array.

It cannot be used outside of the seated meditation state.

In other words, Bai Xuan is already a formation master at the Sitting Illumination Realm.

He's only been cultivating for five months, hasn't he?

Xu Yuhua also stood up in surprise, looking at Bai Xuan's figure with delight. So that's how it is, this kid was waiting for her here.

I was wondering why he was so confident.

It turns out that it has already reached the state of sitting meditation.

This brat's array formation skills are even higher than mine.

Xu Yuhua was both surprised and delighted.

Realizing the inappropriateness of the occasion, she sat down gracefully again, like a noble orchid, and chuckled, "I didn't expect Shi'an's formation to be so advanced. All my painstaking teaching these past few days has not been in vain."

My mentor!

Mr. Li said that Bai Xuan was not taught by him, so he must have been taught by me.

I trained a formation master who has reached the Sitting Illumination Realm!

If Bai Xuan becomes a Tongyou Realm array master in the future, that means I have taught a Tongyou Realm array master.

"Your Highness's talent is unparalleled in the world," Zhang Huan also praised.

In his opinion, given Bai Xuan's age, even if he had started learning from a young age, it would be remarkable for him to reach the Sitting Illumination Realm at this age.

Besides, he's only been learning for five months.

This talent is definitely no less than that of the old prince.

He achieved the state of sitting meditation in five months.

What about those five years?

Five years from now, he should have entered the realm of the profound and mysterious by now!

Xu Yuhua smiled faintly, looking incredibly happy and relaxed.

With the financial crisis easing, Bai Xuan's talent exceeded her expectations.

The only problem is that he's even stronger than her.

It's a bit embarrassing for a teacher.

But the formations my master taught were too difficult. He said that once you learned them, you would be able to stand firmly on the ground and be invincible, but I've never seen anyone actually do it.

If her master hadn't single-handedly suppressed the Grand Preceptor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the leader of the three major sects of Taoism, she would never have been fooled into learning this formation.

A jumble of complex thoughts flashed through Xu Yuhua's mind. She turned to Xu Zhao and smiled sweetly, "Second Uncle Xu, when will the three million taels bet be delivered to the Prince's residence?"

Hearing the title "Second Uncle Xu," Xu Zhao was slightly taken aback. This was not the first time Xu Yuhua had addressed him in this way; on the contrary, she often did. As the first offspring of the old Zhenbei King, Xu Yuhua, though a woman, was showered with love and affection.

Just like the "Hua" in her name, which means "flower," it refers to the flower that the old prince held in his palm, bright and beautiful.

But since the old prince left, Xu Yuhua has stopped calling him that. Now, if she continues to do so, it will cost her three million taels of silver. Xu Zhao felt as if his heart was being torn apart, but he had no choice but to force a smile and say, "Princess, rest assured, our Xu family has always been willing to honor our bets. Let alone three million taels, even if it were thirty million taels or thirty hundred million taels, our Xu family would have no objections."

"Uncle Xu is indeed a man of great character." Upon hearing this, Xu Yuhua smiled broadly, her beauty captivating.

However, at this moment, Xu Zhao was truly not thinking anything; apart from the pain, he felt nothing else.

On the other side, Bai Xuan calmly placed his pieces, forcing Xu Yanque into a desperate situation. In the end, just as he had expected, he won exactly three hundred pieces.

Across from him, Xu Yanque slumped in his seat, filled with despair, staring at the game of chess in disbelief.

How is that possible?

How could he have lost so badly?

This is completely unreasonable.

If Bai Xuan had that kind of strength, how could he have won against He Rang with such difficulty, and even let He Rang cheat?

Is it all because of him?

But why?

Xu Yanque was completely baffled, while Bai Xuan looked at all the chess pieces and chuckled, "Three hundred pieces, one piece for one coin, two characters for two coins, three pieces for four coins, how much are three hundred characters? You can calculate it yourself. Once you've calculated it, have your Xu family head bring the compensation to the Prince's Mansion to see me. Oh, and tell him to hurry up, otherwise I only want to see the stakes, not the person."

"This humble subject obeys," Xu Yanque replied in a daze.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan's lips curled up slightly. "Young people like this, they're just too naive. They can't even handle such a small thing."

You said you couldn't handle it, so why were you so impulsive just now?

Can you withstand the power of a thousand years of my skill in this one move?

Bai Xuan smiled, waved his folding fan, and left gracefully to find Xu Yuhua and the others.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Upon seeing Bai Xuan arrive, Xu Zhao suppressed his heartache and greeted him with a smile.

"No need for formalities. I just made a bet with your nephew. I won one copper coin for one piece, two copper coins for two pieces, four copper coins for three pieces, and so on. I have won three hundred pieces from him. You can calculate it yourselves and send it over together later," Bai Xuan said to Xu Zhao.

"Yes."

Xu Zhao didn't react for a moment, still immersed in the pain of losing three million taels, and subconsciously replied yes.

Xu Yuhua and Zhang Huan, who were standing nearby, sensed something was amiss, especially Xu Yuhua, who had been pondering financial matters lately. When it came to money and supplies, she was always quick to react.

If this keeps doubling, and if it happens many times, it will eventually become an astronomical figure.

Xu Yuhua couldn't even count the three hundred sons in a short time.

"Second Uncle is indeed generous. He won't renege on the promise of three million taels, and he certainly won't deny this one either," Xu Yuhua praised without hesitation.

"That's natural," Xu Zhao replied instinctively.

Zhang Huan looked at Xu Zhao, who answered so quickly, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

Bai Xuan and Xu Yuhua exchanged a smile, then turned and left.

Thinking of their long-standing friendship, Zhang Huan said to Xu Zhao as he left, "Quickly write a letter to Meng Ming telling him everything that happened today, and ask him to return from Bingzhou."

Meng Ming is the courtesy name of Xu Yan, the head of the Xu family.

He was also the one in the Xu family who was truly engaged in business.

As for Xu Zhao and Xu Yanheng's mother, Xu Zhen, they were both fledglings under Xu Yan's protection.

Born into a life of luxury, they have experienced too little.

"Big brother?"

Xu Zhao was slightly taken aback, then quickly thanked him, "Thank you."

Although he didn't immediately realize why.

But Zhang Huanken reminded him that he always cared for the Xu family.

As one of the Three Heroes of Liangzhou, he was someone the Xu family wanted to be close to.

Moreover, the loss of three million taels of silver is such a significant matter that it is imperative to inform my elder brother.

Zhang Huan did not respond and left directly.

He said this because he had worked with the two Xu brothers for many years. Xu Yan, the head of the Xu family, was a kind person and had a good relationship with him, but that was all.

Given the current situation of the Xu family, it's hard to say what the future holds.

He was going to have a good chat with his junior brother, the prince, whom he had only met a few times.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhao frowned slightly, looking puzzled. What was going on?

Why did they suddenly change their attitude?

I knew from the start that it wasn't about three million; it was something I knew for sure.

It was Yan Que who lost the money.

But there aren't many.

One penny equals one copper coin, so three hundred penny coins would only equal three hundred copper coins, less than an ounce of silver.

No, how could the dignified Prince of Zhenbei possibly gamble with a mere tael of silver?

What I just mentioned was doubling the score: one piece doubles, two pieces, four pieces, eight pieces, sixteen pieces, thirty-two pieces, sixty-four pieces...

How many more were there after that?

They're all copper coins, how many could there be?

Even if it were ten million copper coins, it would only amount to one hundred thousand taels.

It can't be bigger than 100 million, can it?

Having already lost three million taels, why would you care about another ten thousand taels?

Let the accountant figure it out.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhao walked towards Xu Yanque. This child was disobedient and should be taught a lesson.

At the same time, Xu Yuhua returned to the carriage as if nothing had happened, then excitedly grasped Bai Xuan's hand, her whole body trembling with extreme excitement, and said, "Third brother, we have money!"
