Ru Mei's hand trembled, her face as white as paper.
"Gongzi is so strong." Ru Mei said with a bleak expression.
Ye Li smiled but didn't say anything. In the past, for an undercover mission, she had specially learned gambling from a gambling king for several months. The other party had praised her for her talent. And with her eyesight and hearing, it was impossible for Ru Mei to cheat in front of her. Of course, Ye Li thought that in a place like the Wind and Moon Pavilion, the banker wouldn't cheat for a few hundred taels of silver. If that was the case, it would damage the reputation of Han Mingyue's Wind and Moon Pavilion too much. But if she continued to win, it wouldn't be certain. After all, Han Mingyue's reputation of loving money like his life was as famous as his Wind and Moon Pavilion.
"This gongzi, our pavilion master invites gongzi inside for a chat." When Ye Li was hesitating whether to continue or not, a young man who looked like a manager walked out, cupping his hands and smiling at Ye Li.
Ye Li's eyes turned and she said with a smile, "Gongzi Mingyue has invited me, this gongzi is also very fortunate. But … … the Wind and Moon Pavilion won't murder for money, right? "
The young man's mouth twitched, his smile a bit forced, "Gongzi is joking."
Ye Li stood up and casually stuffed the banknotes into An San's hands. When she stood up again, she brushed her clothes and said with a smile, "Please lead the way."
The young man led Ye Li and An San into the small courtyard behind the gambling house. Light muslin curled around the pavilion by the lake, the pleasant sound of a guqin flowing through.
"Pavilion master."
"Withdraw. Why doesn't this gongzi come in for a chat?" The sound of the guqin paused and a low and pleasant male voice came from the pavilion. Ye Li slightly raised her eyebrows when she heard it. Seeing the young man respectfully withdraw, Ye Li said with a smile, "The pavilion master of the Wind and Moon Pavilion has invited me, this one is very fortunate." Finishing, she gave An San a look to stay outside and went forward to lift the layers of muslin curtains to walk in.
In the pavilion, a handsome man dressed in dark red brocade robes was lazily leaning against the zither table. His handsome face was filled with an evil charm. Seeing Ye Li come in, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I didn't expect that the one who could defeat Rumei would be such a young master. What a rare young hero. May I dare to ask Gongzi's honorable surname and great given name? "Ye Li laughed and said," How could I dare? A mere surname of Chu, Junwei. "
"Chu Junwei? Good name. It's just that … this humble one has never heard of any young master surnamed Chu in Da Chu State who has such a bearing. If you are from the Weiling Chu Clan … you don't look like someone from the Weiling, "Han Mingyue said as she stared at Ye Li. Ye Li did not mind. She casually found a place to sit down and said with a smile, "We are just a small family. We do not dare to trouble Young Master Mingyue to listen to us."
Han Mingyue snorted and said, "A small family? This young master doesn't look like one. "
Ye Li waved her fan and smiled calmly. "What's so strange about that? This humble one also doesn't look like the legendary Young Master Mingyue."
"Oh?" Han Mingyue raised her eyebrows with interest, but a sharp light flashed in her eyes. "I wonder what the Young Master Mingyue you have heard of is like?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "I have heard that Young Master Mingyue is elegant and extraordinarily handsome. He is a rare fine young master in the world. "Han Mingyue frowned in apparent dissatisfaction." Could it be that this young master has disappointed Young Master Chu? " Ye Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled. "From what this humble one knows, Young Master Mingyue would definitely not sit like this in front of strangers." Looking at the handsome man kneeling beside the zither table with a lazy and devilish air, Ye Li could not help but sigh in her heart. In terms of appearance, the brothers Han Mingyue and Han Mingxi were at least eighty percent alike. If they could really fool others, it would not be impossible to fool them. However, the person in front of her clearly had no intention of concealing himself. Or perhaps he did not think that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old stranger had seen Han Mingyue in person. Unfortunately, not only had she seen Han Mingyue, but she had also seen Han Mingxi.
"It seems that Young Master Chu is certain that this young master is not Han Mingyue?" Han Mingxi stood up and stared at Ye Li with a cold gaze.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Young Master, why are you so angry? You tricked this humble one into coming here in the name of Young Master Mingyue. Shouldn't I be the one who should be angry?"
Han Mingxi sneered. "Young Master Chu, why are you putting on an act? Didn't you spend so much money in the Bright Moon Inn to attract the attention of the Inn Master? Why don't you tell this young master now? Perhaps this young master will agree to your request if I am in a good mood. "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows. "Young Master, can you make the Inn Master of the Wind and Moon Inn? Or … can you make the Tianyi Pavilion's decision? "
As soon as the words' Tianyi Pavilion 'came out, Han Mingxi's gaze immediately shot toward Ye Li like a sword. His devilish handsome face suddenly became a bit colder. "Who are you?" There were many people in the world who knew about the Tianyi Pavilion, and even more people who knew about the Wind and Moon Inn. However, not many people knew that the Inn Master of the Wind and Moon Inn and the Tianyi Pavilion were the same person. Ye Li lowered her head and said, "Young Master, before you ask me, you should at least tell me if I can make the decision or not. What if you can't make the decision after I've spent so much effort talking to you? Wouldn't that be a waste of each other's time? "
Han Mingxi glared at Ye Li and snorted. "Han Mingyue is not in Jiangnan right now. Whether it is the Wind and Moon Inn or the Tianyi Pavilion, I can make the decision. Do you understand? "
Ye Li clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's good. Young Master, may I know your name?"
"Han Mingxi." Han Mingxi gritted his teeth. Of course, he wouldn't tell her what his nickname was. After all, the title of Young Master Feng Yue was not a good one for both men and women.
Ye Li raised a hand to rub between her brows and said in a low voice, "So you are Young Master Ming Yue's … brother? No wonder you look so similar to Young Master Ming Yue. "
"You've seen my big brother?" Han Mingxi stared at her and asked with a frown.
Ye Li didn't change her expression and said with a smile, "Well … I saw Young Master Ming Yue once when he was young. I have a good memory and have always admired Young Master Ming Yue's elegance." Han Mingxi curled his lips. His big brother was indeed quite famous when he was young. However, that was in the Chu capital, so the people of Jiangnan didn't know much about him. However … was this young man in front of him five years old? Ye Li didn't care what Han Mingxi was thinking. "I've come from afar and you won't even give me a cup of tea. This is not how you treat a guest."
Han Mingxi stared at her for a moment and then slowly pulled out a sinister smile. "If you want to drink tea, you can. If you have something to ask of me, you can. But you'll have to defeat me first!"
Ye Li looked at Young Master Feng Yue, who was staring at her with a provocative expression, and secretly found it funny. Of course, she knew that Han Mingyue wasn't in Jiangnan right now. She even knew where Han Mingyue had gone. Although Han Mingyue and Han Mingxi were brothers, Han Mingxi was clearly much easier to deal with than Han Mingyue. For various reasons, Ye Li didn't want to meet Han Mingyue. "What does Young Master Han want to bet?"
Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I won't take advantage of you. Weren't you very powerful just now? Let's bet on the dice and see who's bigger. "
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and didn't object. "Okay."
