Chapter 983: Concentrated Living
Gu Fan was still worried about one thing, "Mo Yun, the thing you did before, there should be no trace left behind, right?"
Mo Yun nodded, "Don’t worry, I disguised myself and acted carefully. Even if they manage to find that woman, they will only know that someone instigated her to accuse Lightning-curved Blade Guo Hu, but they won’t be able to find out who that person is. Too many people with interests involved are hoping for your victory."
"Good, I trust your work." While Gu Fan was pondering, suddenly, Lu Bei and Jin Yi burst in, nearly giving Gu Fan a fright.
Lu Bei came up with a mischievous grin, "Congratulations, Brother Gu Fan, on advancing to the fourth round of the Martial Arts Competition. At the same time, your betting odds have become one-to-one, you know. Your next opponent’s Martial Arts are superior to yours, and their odds are one-to-two."
Jin Yi also added, "Do you know, Brother Gu, amongst the remaining eight Martial Arts masters, only you and the leader of Xuanjian Sect have odds of one-to-one. This means the two of you have become the favorites to contend for the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader."
Hearing this, Gu Fan was so surprised that he nearly couldn’t believe it, "No way, my odds are this low already?"
"Yes, even though they’re so low, many people are still betting on you to win, not just the next match but also betting you’ll become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader," Lu Bei said, seemingly disbelieving as well.
Gu Fan showed a helpless and bitter smile, "Thank you both for specially coming to tell me this news. I don’t know whether I should be happy or not."
Lu Bei answered, "Of course you should be happy. It’s a recognition of your strength. Even though you don’t have much of it, you’ve made it to the fourth round of the Martial Arts Competition. I’ve never seen a third-rate master achieve this before."
