Chapter 233 Gambling Announcement

After leaving Xiao Mansion, Athena quickly arrived at the Prince's Mansion. She proposed to cancel the engagement, and Qin Xuan took her to find Qin Zhentian.

Qin Zhentian quickly agreed.

It was originally a political marriage, and it was normal to break up without benefit.

Of course, as the party that violated the contract, the Shenguang Empire must give benefits to the Tianlong Empire, and this was not for them to discuss.

"Your Highness's engagement with Princess Athena was canceled!"

"I think it's better to cancel the engagement. Athena is the little princess of the Shenguang Empire. She definitely has no good intentions in marrying to the Tianlong Empire."

"It's a pity. Athena is a top genius. If she becomes the prince's concubine, the Shenguang Empire will have one less top powerhouse in the future."

The engagement was canceled, and the Tianlong Empire officials quickly announced the news.

Athena is beautiful, and she is a super genius that the Shenguang Empire encounters once in a thousand years. The news quickly spread in Shengjing City.

"Publish the content of the bet!"

Athena ordered.

"Princess, the content of this bet involves you, princess. Should we announce it so loudly?"

One of Athena's subordinates said hesitantly.

"That's right!"

Athena nodded.

They announced the news first to appear more proactive. Otherwise, if such a bet popped up just after the marriage was cancelled, others might mistakenly think that their Shenguang Empire could not withstand the pressure of the demigod.

The Shenguang Empire is the most powerful country, and face is very important.

In addition, Athena was also worried that Xiao Fan would do something weird.

"Princess, I will arrange it immediately."

Half an hour later, the envoy of the Shenguang Empire exposed the bet.

"What day is today? First, Princess Athena cancelled the engagement, and then signed a bet with Master Xiao."

"If Master Xiao wins, he can actually get Paradise Island and a lot of treasures, and Athena will become his slave."

"The cost of losing is also very high. Is it possible to reach the level of Martial King in ten years? Master Xiao is still an ordinary person now."

The news of the bet spread in Shengjing City at a faster speed.

Athena just broke off the engagement, and everyone hasn't finished eating this melon yet, but even more explosive news has been exposed so quickly.

"Xiao Xiao, why did you sign such a bet with Athena?"

Jiang Gan got the news, and he hurried to Xiao's house.

Xiao Fan was surprised and said: "Old Jiang, is there a problem with the bet?"

Jiang Gan said helplessly: "Of course there is a problem, and it's a big problem. Your bet is smaller than the Divine Light Empire, but your chance of winning is also much smaller than the Divine Light Empire."

"Six imperial artifacts plus a semi-god-level treasure are worth more than 100 billion Tianlong coins. Why do you take this risk?"

At this point, Jiang Gan asked in confusion: "When did you get six imperial artifacts plus a semi-god-level treasure from the Divine Light Empire?"

Xiao Fan chuckled and said: "I got it a few days ago. Senior Wuming captured a top strongman in the Divine Light Empire."

"The treasure they gave for ransom?"

Jiang Gan asked.

Xiao Fan said, "That semi-god treasure belongs to that top powerhouse."

Xiao Fan did not say whether it was a treasure given for ransom. He promised Athena that the news of the killing of the Divine Light Empire would be kept secret.

The six treasures were actually hush money.

Jiang Gan frowned and said, "Xiao Xiao, even if these treasures originally belonged to the Divine Light Empire, you can't agree to this bet."

"You are obviously at a disadvantage."

"Your chance of reaching the Martial King within ten years is probably less than 10%. The value of your bet is more than just one tenth."

Xiao Fan smiled slightly.

What is he at a disadvantage? He has already achieved the perfect cultivation of the Martial Emperor. The moment he signed the bet, he should have made a lot of money.

If he wants, he can win by exposing his cultivation now.

It's just that his current strength is not enough. If he exposes it now, he will be embarrassed if the Divine Light Empire does not fulfill the bet.

"Old Jiang, I believe I can definitely reach the Martial King level within ten years!"

Xiao Fan said seriously.

Jiang Gan looked helpless: "It's good to have confidence, but you can't be blindly confident."

"Your Highness, Yu Li and the others are all very talented, and they have a lot of resources, but they are only at the Xuan Dan level."

"Even if you have a demigod behind you, she can help you a lot before Xuan Dan, but you still have to rely on yourself to reach the Xuan Dan level."

Xiao Fan was very moved, Jiang Gan was really doing good for him.

"Old Jiang, the six emperor swords have successfully recognized their masters. And they have combined with the previous three emperor swords to form a new formation."

Xiao Fan said.

Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "Xiao Xiao, I will check you."

"Okay."

Jiang Gan's consciousness entered Xiao Fan's body, and he quickly discovered the nine emperor swords in Xiao Fan's body, which formed a mysterious formation.

Jiang Gan didn't know much about the formation, but he could see that the current formation was much stronger than before.

"Xiao Fan, you can actually make nine emperor swords recognize their masters."

Jiang Gan secretly smacked his lips. He didn't know what to say in this situation. When did it become so easy for top treasures to recognize their masters?

Even for him, it is not easy to get one more emperor weapon to recognize its master.

Emperor weapons are basically temperamental. It is okay when recognizing the first emperor weapon, and the martial emperor-level strongmen can basically get one.

It is much more difficult to get the second one.

It would be better if the first one is an offensive treasure and the second one is a defensive treasure.

All nine of Xiao Fan’s emperor weapons are offensive treasures, which Jiang Gan has never heard of.

"Old Jiang, as long as I awaken, my talent should be good, and I should be able to reach the martial king level in a relatively short time."

Xiao Fan smiled.

Jiang Gan frowned: "You can make so many emperor swords recognize their master, as long as the awakening talent is really strong, but the stronger the physique, the more difficult it is to awaken, and the hope of awakening within ten years is slimmer."

"Old Jiang, the bet is confirmed."

Jiang Gan sighed: "Yes, the bet is confirmed, I just hope you can really awaken within three to five years."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

"Xiao Xiao, you moved to a new house and didn't hold a banquet to celebrate? You were conferred the title of Wenchang Earl some time ago, but you didn't celebrate."

Xiao Fan said: "It's not a big deal, so there's no need to celebrate, right?"

Jiang Gan lowered his voice and said: "You were conferred the title of Wenchang Earl, this must be celebrated, otherwise what will His Majesty think?"

"The rank of Earl is the second grade, you are so young to get such a reward, you must have the joy and celebration."

"It means that you have a demigod behind you, and His Majesty is more tolerant of you, otherwise the consequences of such things may be very serious."

Xiao Fan was stunned.

He really didn't understand much about officialdom.

"Old Jiang, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible."

Jiang Gan nodded slightly: "It's not a good idea to celebrate at a restaurant this time. You only have Xiaodie and the other two maids. Do you want me to send you some servants?"

Xiao Fan said: "Old Jiang, there's no need to send them. Just lend me some people. I'll ask Senior Wuming for some guards."

"How many guards do you think I should have?"

Jiang Gan pondered and said: "You are a count and you can have 3,000 private soldiers. According to the rules, at most one-tenth can enter Shengjing City."

"But few people really fill them up."

"A king of a different surname like Liang Huairen can have 300,000 private soldiers. Their personal guards in Shengjing City will not exceed 3,000."

"You can increase the proportion of half-god personal guards behind you, but it's best not to have more than 50 personal guards here."
