“Qu Lexian, he’s very innocent.” Xiao Zheng looked at the angry crowd before him and sighed.

“Anger always needs a scapegoat.” Tang Luo’s expression was quite indifferent; he had anticipated the current situation.

The strong vent their anger by attacking the stronger; the weak vent their anger by attacking the weaker.

Even if Qu Lexian really did throw the match, it must have been under the instruction of the house. Could a mere Mortal Realm warrior resist? But looking at the frenzied crowd, they seemed to be unable to see the true sinners, the house, and vented their anger onto the boxer who had struggled till he passed out.

Under the protection of several Transcendental Realm guards, Qu Lexian was lifted off the arena for recovery. But hearing the noise around him, louder than during the match, Tang Luo knew that what he would face when he woke up would be more terrifying than losing the match.

“Let’s go.” Xiao Zheng’s voice was bleak.

Who is the most prestigious person after a martial arts match?

The ones who placed heavy bets on the champion and won, especially when out of the full auditorium of three thousand people, only two could go to the betting desk to collect their winnings. The admiring gaze of the crowd was a feeling akin to being celebrated on a podium.

Xiao Zheng and Tang Luo, one after the other, under the gaze of thousands of people, walked to the betting desk.

Zhang Huai, the house official on the main stage, greeted Xiao Zheng with a smile, “Congratulations for hitting the jackpot- please present your ticket.” Xiao Zheng, already accustomed to this, handed over his betting ticket.

Zhang Huai received the ticket and glanced at it, took out three hundred gold coins from the betting desk, and asked respectfully, “What is your full name, sir?”

Asking for the name is meant for ticket declaration. Some gamblers like to show off this way, so the house always obliges.

Ticket declaration is akin to the climax after the gambling match. When you hand your winning ticket to the house, they call out your name and earnings aloud. If the amount is large, it will be repeated multiple times, like Xiao Zheng’s three hundred gold, due to its large amount, will be declared multiple times.

“Xiao Zheng.”

“So it’s the renowned Gambling Saint in person, pardon my ignorance.” Upon hearing the name Xiao Zheng, Zhang Huai immediately bowed deeply, his demeanor very modest.

But Xiao Zheng didn’t buy into it. He didn’t believe that the house official didn’t know about the set-up of wiping out all the gamblers at the martial arts match, so he responded with extreme indifference, “Begin the declaration.” Zhang Huai gave a light laugh, not minding, and shouted out, “The Gambling Saint, Xiao Zheng, big fortune, extraordinary vision, winnings of three hundred gold!”

Could it be the Gambling Saint Xiao Zheng!?

The declarative shout echoed through the entire arena, immediately stirring a wave of whispers among the three thousand spectators.

Everyone started chattering, surprised that the long-missing Gambling Saint should show up at this little fight.

For a moment, he was the center of attention.
