After leaving Xiao's Mansion, Athena quickly arrived at the Prince's Mansion. She proposed to terminate the engagement, and Qin Xuan took her to find Qin Zhentian.
Qin Zhentian quickly agreed.
This is a political marriage, and it is normal for it to break up if it is not beneficial.
Of course, as the party that breached the contract, the Shenguang Empire must give benefits to the Tianlong Empire, and this was not their business to discuss.
"The engagement between His Highness and Princess Athena has been terminated!"
"I think it's better to cancel the engagement. Athena is the little princess of the Shenguang Empire. She definitely has no good intentions when she marries to the Tianlong Empire."
"What a pity. Athena is a top genius. If she becomes Crown Prince Liangdi, the Shenguang Empire will lose one of its top experts in the future."
The engagement was terminated, and the Tianlong Empire officially announced the news soon.
Athena was good-looking, and she was a once-in-a-million-year super genius in the Shenguang Empire. The news quickly spread in Shengjing City.
"Announce the content of the bet!"
Athena ordered.
"Your Highness, the content of this bet involves you, Princess. Are you going to announce it with such a big fanfare?"
One of Athena's men said hesitantly.
"That's right!"
Athena nodded.
It would be more proactive for them to announce the news first, otherwise others might mistakenly think that their Shenguang Empire cannot withstand the pressure of demigods if such a bet appears just after the engagement has been terminated.
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 wrong.
"Your Highness Princess, I will make arrangements immediately."
Half an hour later, the envoy of the Shenguang Empire exposed the bet.
"What day is it today? First, Princess Athena broke off the engagement, and then signed a bet with Mr. Xiao."
"If Mr. Xiao wins, he will actually get Paradise Island and a lot of treasures. Athena will also become his slave."
"The price of losing is also very high. Is it possible to reach the level of Martial King in ten years? Mr. Xiao is still an ordinary person today."
The news of the bet spread in Shengjing City at a faster speed.
Athena had just broken off her engagement, and before everyone had finished eating, even more exciting news was exposed so quickly.
"Xiao Xiao, why did you sign such a bet with Athena?"
Jiang Gan got the news and hurried to Xiao's house.
Xiao Fan said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, is there any problem with the bet?"
Jiang Gan said helplessly: "Of course there is a problem, and it is a big problem. Your bet is smaller than that of the Shenguang Empire, but your chance of winning is also far smaller than that of the Shenguang Empire."
"Six imperial weapons and one demigod-level treasure are worth more than 100 billion Tianlong coins. Why do you take this risk?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Gan said in confusion: "When did you get six imperial weapons and a semi-god-level treasure from the Shenguang Empire?"
Xiao Fan chuckled and said: "I got it a few days ago. Senior Wuming captured a top powerhouse in the Shenguang Empire."
"They redeemed the treasures given by others?"
Jiang Gan asked.
Xiao Fan said: "That semi-god-level treasure belongs to that top powerhouse."
Xiao Fan did not say whether it was a treasure given by the redeemer. He promised Athena that the news of the murders in the Shenguang Empire would be kept secret.
The six treasures are actually hush money.
Jiang Gan frowned and said, "Xiao Xiao, even if these treasures belong to the Shenguang Empire, you can't agree to this bet."
"You obviously suffered a loss."
"The chance that you will reach King Wu within ten years is probably less than 10%, and the value of your bet is not just one-tenth."
Xiao Fan smiled slightly.
He had nothing to lose, he had now reached the level of Martial Emperor, and the moment he signed the bet, he had already made a lot of money.
As long as he wants to, he can win by exposing his cultivation now.
It's just that his current strength is not enough. Now that it is exposed, the Shenguang Empire will be embarrassed if it does not fulfill its bet with him.
"Mr. Jiang, I believe I can reach the level of King of Martial Arts within ten years!"
Xiao Fan said seriously.
Jiang Gan looked helpless: "Having confidence is a good thing, but you can't be blindly confident."
"His Royal Highness, Yuli and the others are very talented, and they also have a lot of resources, but they are only at the Xuandan level."
"Even if you have a demigod behind you, she could help you a lot before Xuan Dan, but when you reach the realm of Xuan Dan, you mainly have to rely on yourself."
Xiao Fan was very touched, Jiang Qian was sincerely doing his best.
"Mr. Jiang, the six imperial swords have successfully recognized their owners. Moreover, they have combined with the previous three imperial swords to form a new formation."
Xiao Fan said.
Jiang Qian said quickly: "Xiao Xiao, I will check you out."
"good."
Jiang Gan's spiritual consciousness entered Xiao Fan's body, and he quickly discovered the nine imperial swords in Xiao Fan's body, which formed a mysterious formation.
Jiang Gan didn't know much about formations, but he could also see that today's formations were much stronger than before.
"Xiao Fan, you can actually make the nine-handled imperial sword recognize its master."
Jiang Qian secretly smacked his tongue. He didn't know what to say in this situation. When did it become so easy for a top treasure to identify its owner?
Even for him, it is not easy to get one more imperial weapon and recognize its owner.
Imperial weapons basically all have tempers. It's not bad when you recognize the first imperial weapon. A strong person at the level of Martial Emperor can basically get one.
The second one is much more difficult.
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 imperial weapons were offensive treasures, something Jiang Qian had never heard of.
"Mr. Jiang, as long as I awaken, my talent should be pretty good and I should be able to reach the level of King of Martial Arts in a relatively short time."
Xiao Fan smiled.
Jiang Gan frowned: "You can make so many emperor swords recognize their masters, as long as the awakening talent is really strong, but the stronger the physique, the harder it will be to awaken, and the hope of awakening within ten years will be slimmer."
"Mr. Jiang, the bet is confirmed."
Jiang Qian let out a long sigh: "Yes, the bet is confirmed. I just hope you can really wake up within three to five years."
"That's it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Xiao Xiao, you moved to a new house and you didn't have a drink to celebrate? You were granted the title of Wen Chang Bo some time ago and you didn't celebrate either."
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 have been conferred the title of Wenchang Bo. You must celebrate this. Otherwise, what will His Majesty think?"
"The title of earl is at the second level. You have received such a reward at such a young age, so you must have the joy and celebration you deserve."
"That is to say, there is a demigod behind you, and His Majesty is more tolerant to you, otherwise the consequences of such a thing may be very serious."
Xiao Fan was stunned.
He really doesn't understand much about officialdom.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll hurry up and make arrangements."
Jiang Qian nodded slightly: "It's not a good idea to go to a restaurant to celebrate this time. You are just Xiaodie and the other two maids. Do you want me to give you some servants?"
Xiao Fan said: "Mr. Jiang, there's no need to send him away. Just lend me some people. I'll find Senior Wuming for some more bodyguards."
"How many guards do you think I need?"
Jiang Gan muttered: "As an earl, you can have three thousand private troops. According to the rules, at most one-tenth can enter Shengjing City."
“But few of them are really full of people.”
"A king with a different surname like Liang Huairen can have 300,000 private troops, but their personal guards in Shengjing City will not exceed 3,000."
"The proportion of demigod guards behind you can be increased, but it is best not to have more than fifty guards here."
