I tapped the table lightly twice, signaling Qin Xin to step away from me. After she entered the room, she stood far to the side.

Ling looked at Qin Xin with a half-smile and said, "Not bad, good enough to rank third among the Five Ferocious Souls. I'm betting four Ferocious Souls against one Qin Xin; you're still getting the better deal."

I said calmly, "You have no friends, but I do. Qin Xin is my friend, and I won't use my friends as a wager."

As I spoke, I placed my two scimitars on the table. "Fight! I'll go with you! A bet! No one has the right to make me wager my friends!"

As soon as I finished speaking, the Four Ferocious Souls all looked at me.

The baleful aura around Qin Xin suddenly disappeared, replaced by a burning desire for battle.

I looked at Qin Xin in surprise and finally understood why she was standing so far away from me.

Qin Xin was a Ferocious Soul, but she had her own will. She didn't want to be anyone's sacrifice. She had been nailed to the Qin Village for too long. The endless torment not only created the soaring baleful aura around her, but also became a nightmare that she couldn't shake off.

If I had nodded just now, Qin Xin would have attacked me!

Qin Xin's demands weren't actually high. All she wanted was for someone to treat her sincerely.

Jian Ling suddenly said, "Qin Xin no longer has any baleful aura. She's no longer worthy to be ranked with us."

Ling muttered to himself, "Are friends really that important?"

"The bet is off! We won't start a war between us yet." As Ling looked up, he placed a coin on the table and pushed it towards me. "Pick it up and throw it outside."

I couldn't help but frown slightly. It was just an ordinary coin. What did Ling mean by asking me to throw it outside?

I instinctively felt that Ling's request for me to throw the coin was meaningful, or rather, concealed a conspiracy.

But I was also curious about what would happen after I threw the coin.

I picked up the coin and examined it for a long time. Suddenly, I raised my hand and threw the coin out the window like a hidden weapon.

Ling was just asking me to throw the coin outside, but he didn't say how I should throw it.

I was throwing the coin as a hidden weapon, and that was still throwing it! Moreover, I thought that embedding the coin in the tree might be the safest way.

The coin left my hand and turned into a streak of silver light with a whistling sound, heading straight for the tree branch five meters away.

I heard a loud cracking sound, and a tree branch as thick as an arm was broken into two pieces by the coin, crashing to the ground amidst the rustling of leaves in the wind.

I was immediately stunned.

The force I used to throw the coin wasn't enough to break the branch, so how did that branch break?

Before I could react, the broken branch smashed the water pipe in the fountain, and the water column, which should have been sprayed directly into the air, was blocked by half of the branch and sprayed towards the wall of the manor in a fan shape.

I clearly heard a harsh sparking sound coming from under the wall, and the lights in the reception room went out in an instant.

The wall was leaking electricity!

As this thought flashed through my mind, a bad feeling instantly surged into my heart.

Before I could figure out where that feeling came from, I heard a scream from downstairs.

Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing appeared in the reception room at the same time, their swords pointing at Ling's vitals.

Ling and the Four Ferocious Souls, however, seemed to be indifferent to the swords in the two people's hands and stayed where they were, not moving at all.

Ling smiled and said, "Now, you are the heir to the Qiankun Divine Calculation!"

I gave Feng Ruoxing a look, and after the latter hurriedly left, he rushed back. "A person died in the basement, electrocuted. I checked his identity, and his surname is Qian!"

I couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

If Ling had thrown the coin himself, I wouldn't have felt anything!

However, that coin was thrown from my hand towards the tree branch.

The whole layout seemed like countless coincidences, but the core was that coin. If I had thrown the coin elsewhere, none of this would have happened.

This shows that before Ling threw the coin to me, he had calculated my personality, habits, and methods perfectly.

Are calculators really that scary?

A trace of cold sweat flowed from my forehead unconsciously!

Ling laughed and said, "The person who died was the son of the old Qian, the last bloodline of the Qian family. Now that he is dead, you are the new generation of Qiankun Divine Calculation chosen by heaven."

"Whether you are willing to accept it or not, it is so!"

Ling stood up and said, "The three veins of calculators must have heirs. Not one can be missing. Three years later, it will be time for the calculators to compete. I hope that at that time, we can become real opponents!"

I said calmly, "You want me to become the Qian family's opponent, right?"

Ling looked at me with interest and said, "What makes you say that?"

I looked at the tree branch outside and said, "The reason I could hit that tree branch was because there was a cicada on it."

"From the moment you appeared, you have been putting pressure on me subtly. When I can strike, I will naturally eliminate those things that make me irritable first. The sound of that cicada just happened to be annoying me."

"As long as I hit the cicada, the rest of the matter won't be so magical."

"You deliberately made me feel that I would become the Qiankun Divine Calculation, because there is still one person from the Qian family who hasn't died, right?"
