Chapter 1024

Ming Xueying was incredibly perceptive, how could she not discern her father’s thoughts?

However, her expression was also somewhat unpleasant.

After all, she entered the central area quite late, and upon getting in, she couldn’t gather much at all. Then she encountered Qin Qi’s ordeal.

Yet, since her father brought it up, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and step forward.

Immediately, she retrieved her spoils from her storage pouch.

Rustle, rustle.

"Six spirit plants over twenty years old, twelve that are ten years old, and two that are fifty years old!"

Seeing these results, Ming Tianhong’s mouth twitched.

Though far greater than the number other Ming Family geniuses had obtained.

But as the leader of the entire Ming Family, merely acquiring this number was a drop in the ocean; far from being capable of drastically turning the tide!

Murong Lang laughed heartily, "Ming Tianhong, your Ming Family might as well prepare to be at the bottom this time. With just this little spirit plant, do you really think the Ming Family still has a chance to turn things around?!"

"You should know, my Ping’er hasn’t even turned in all his resources yet!"

After speaking, Murong Lang fixed his gaze on Murong Ping.

Many people’s eyes followed.

After all, this Murong Ping was a genius on the Celestial List and the most dazzling prodigy among the four great families.

Murong Ping maintained her poised elegance, stepping forward lightly, then gently opened her storage pouch, spilling out all the spirit plants within.

Once extracted.

Many drew a cold breath.

"Thirty spirit plants over twenty years old, eighty that are ten years old. Even twelve that are fifty years old!"

"And even one that is a hundred years old!"

When these results were showcased, Ming Tianhong swallowed, his eyes filled with uncontrollable envy!

Upon seeing this, though Old Monster Wei and Old Ghost Duan wore slightly unsatisfied expressions.

Upon looking at Ming Tianhong, they couldn’t help but let a hint of a smile sneak across their lips.

Because their most outstanding Fake Core Stage geniuses hadn’t returned, and quite a few elites had been lost.

But even so, the spirit plants they obtained still far exceeded Ming Tianhong, ensuring they wouldn’t end up at the bottom!

Ming Tianhong furrowed his brows and sighed, saying: "Hmph, I will accept defeat. Since I’ve lost, I won’t regret the pre-discussed stake!"

But just as he finished speaking, Ming Xueying whispered in his ear: "Father, don’t be anxious..."

"Hmm? What? Do you perhaps have something hidden?" Ming Tianhong was puzzled.

Ming Xueying slightly parted her red lips, "Not really, there’s someone who hasn’t handed over yet..."

Having said that, she pouted and looked over at Ming Lan not far away.

Ming Lan hurriedly stepped forward, "Family Head..."

Ming Tianhong shook his head.

Of course, he knew Ming Lan still had some geniuses who hadn’t handed in spirit plants. But these people were some of the marginal young members of the Ming Family.

Even if they gathered some spirit plants, so what?

A mere handful couldn’t fundamentally change the already determined overall situation!

Ming Xueying, however, said: "Father, it’s not about Ming Lan. Did you forget about Qin Qi?"

It was only then that Ming Tianhong thought of Qin Qi.

However, no matter how powerful Qin Qi was, could he lead a burden and drastically change the situation in such a scenario?

"Forget it, have everyone hand over their spirit plants!" Ming Tianhong instructed.

Ming Lan obediently complied, then handed out all her spirit plants from her storage pouch one by one.

When all these spirit plants were laid out, everyone’s eyes widened, full of disbelief.

The spirit plants in Ming Lan’s storage pouch were vastly different from others; other people’s would stop after merely pouring out a little.

But Ming Lan poured continuously for dozens of breaths before finally stopping.

Seeing this, Ming Tianhong swallowed hard, "This, this!"

Because, counting the quantity.

Amazingly!

"Fifty that are twenty years old, one hundred and twenty that are ten years old. There are also twenty that are fifty years old, and two that are a hundred years old!"

Upon seeing this scene, Ming Tianhong could hardly believe his eyes.

The amount Ming Lan obtained even surpassed that of Murong Ping, the prodigious girl of heaven.

"This..."

Murong Lang and Old Monster Wei all exchanged glances.

"No matter, although this girl is somewhat strange, such numbers cannot affect the situation."

"Ming Tianhong was lagging too far behind just now!"

The few old guys comforted each other.

However, soon it was Qin Qi’s turn.

Qin Qi, just like Ming Lan, emptied the spirit plants from his storage pouch.

But when they poured out, the scene was even grander than Ming Lan’s.

Ten breaths.

Twenty breaths.

He poured for a solid seventy to eighty breaths before Qin Qi’s storage pouch seemed almost empty.

"This, this!!"

At this moment, it was not just the Ming Family and Ming Tianhong.

Even members from other factions were wide-eyed, faces full of disbelief.

"That guy..."

Murong Ping bit her lips, "Even though I knew he entered the central area first and must have obtained a wealth of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I never thought he could acquire so much!"

"Makes sense, taking down so many talents, the storage pouches, all ended up on him!"

Apart from Murong Ping.

The most shocked were the family heads of the other three great families.

"Where did this kid get so many spirit plants!"

"What is his name? Could this kid be some secret ace placed by Ming Tianhong?!

The few old monsters looked disheartened.

Because the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Qin Qi brought out dramatically altered the situation, putting Ming Tianhong not only from the bottom of the four great family heads but overtaking the Murong Clan, skyrocketing to the top position.

Ming Tianhong couldn’t stop beaming with joy, and after tallying the results, delivered a stunning outcome.

"Three hundred that are twenty years old, five hundred that are ten years old. One hundred and twenty that are fifty years old, and six that are a hundred years old!"

As soon as these results were announced.

A profound silence swept across the venue, lingering for quite a while.

The shock in everyone’s eyes was long-lasting, difficult to calm.

"Good, good lad!" Ming Tianhong couldn’t stop laughing, "Well done, Qin Qi, Ming Lan, you’ve done wonderfully."

Ming Xueying also showed a smile.

Watching Qin Qi being recognized by her father, she was sincerely happy deep down.

"Hehe!"

Ming Tianhong turned his head sarcastically, "Gentlemen, you’ve seen the results yourselves. Now, as to who ended up at the bottom and who won the wager, I believe it needs no further explanation!"

Murong Lang managed to maintain his expression reasonably well.

But Old Monster Wei and Old Ghost Duan displayed unusual expressions.

They looked at one another and began tallying the amounts their side obtained.

This comparison showed that it was Old Monster Wei who ended up at the bottom!~

"Damn it!"

Old Monster Wei fumed indignantly, "Ming Tianhong, what are you getting so smug about. You got lucky, securing a good lad. But alas, he’s not a member of your Ming Family!"

"Alright, a bet’s a bet. My promised Hun Yuan lamp and three lamp seeds are right here!"

Having handed over the treasures, he stormed off with a few traces of pained expression still lingering on his face.
