What Zhong Shan ordered were all the best dishes. He didn't even look at the menu. The waiter immediately knew that the two people in front of him were either rich or respectable. He immediately took down their orders.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Sky Ling'er casually ate two mouthfuls and looked down. Every time the gamblers below shouted, it was as if they were telling Sky Ling'er that they were playing a very, very fun game.
Looking at Sky Ling'er, Zhong Shan shook his head and smiled. Everyone was like this when they first came to the casino. However, they did not know that the casino was the most dangerous place.
"Hurry up and eat!" Sky Ling'er urged immediately.
Just as Zhong Shan was about to say something, Zhong Shan frowned and looked at a table not far away. This was because Zhong Shan felt that the person over there had been staring at him.
Staring at him?
The dishes on that table were not inferior to his. A man in a white robe sat at the table. He looked to be about 30 years old and had a handsome face. There was a spear on the table. A silver-white spear?
A dharma treasure?
Zhong Shan recognized it at a glance. It was a dharma treasure made with the Empty Spirit Pearl.
At this moment, that person was holding a cup of wine and looking at Zhong Shan, frowning slightly. Suddenly, that person opened his mouth and said uncertainly, "Zhong Shan?"
How could he call out his name? Did he look like he was in his thirties? Even if it was a year ago, it would be impossible for his adopted sons to recognize him, right?
Zhong Shan looked at that person solemnly. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Fifty-one years ago.
Zhong Shan went through many difficulties and finally arrived in front of an immortal sect. He begged to enter the sect and knelt at the gate for three days and three nights. However, no one was willing to accept him as a disciple.
At that time, it happened to be the Longmen Convention that was held once every 50 years.
People from the Immortal Sect continued to bring new disciples back. However, they didn't care about Zhong Shan at all.
At that time, the person in front of him was also dressed in a white robe. He was lucky enough to be chosen at the Longmen Convention. When he returned to the immortal sect with his master, he happened to see Zhong Shan kneeling at the mountain gate.
"Master, you said that he has been kneeling here for three days and three nights?" The person asked.
"This person called Zhong Shan doesn't have a good constitution. It will be hard for him to achieve anything in his lifetime." Master said.
"But his perseverance is not bad. Moreover, he has been kneeling for three days. Master, why don't you accept him as a disciple? Whether or not he succeeds depends on himself," the white-robed man said.
"Shut up, Zhao Suxiang. This is an immortal sect, not a battlefield in the mortal world. Willpower alone is not enough." Master rebuked angrily.
"Yes." Zhao Suxiang nodded. He shook his head and sighed as he followed his master into the immortal sect.
It was on that day that Zhong Shan suddenly remembered that he had visited many immortal sects in the past. Only this person had persuaded the people from the immortal sects to help him. Although he didn't succeed, Zhong Shan couldn't forget him.
"Zhao Suxiang?" Zhong Shan immediately stood up and looked at him.
"Haha, it's really you, Zhong Shan." Zhao Suxiang immediately picked up the spear and walked over. He directly sat beside Zhong Shan.
"Zhong Shan? Who is he?" Tian Ling 'er immediately asked.
"Iron Spear Sect, Zhao Suxiang." Zhao Suxiang immediately reported his name to Tian Ling 'er.
"Mizar Sect, Tian Ling 'er." Tian Ling' er also replied. After all, they had already reported to the sect. This was a necessary greeting for the immortal sects.
"Mizar Sect?" Zhao Suxiang looked at Zhong Shan with some surprise.
He couldn't understand why Zhong Shan, who couldn't even enter a low grade immortal sect, was now a high grade immortal sect, the Mizar Sect.
"Brother Zhong Shan, congratulations." Zhao Suxiang immediately congratulated him.
"Congratulations as well." Zhong Shan replied.
"Zhong Shan, take your time eating. I'm going down to take a look." Tian Ling 'er finally couldn't bear it anymore. She said to Zhong Shan and rushed down the stairs.
Seeing Tian Ling 'er's appearance, Zhong Shan shook his head and smiled. He also let her go. He would just sit there, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Brother Zhao, why are you here?" Zhong Shan turned his head to look at Zhao Suxiang.
"I am a general of the Song Nation. Fifty-one years ago, I was fortunate enough to enter an immortal sect. Now, I am out on experiential training. When I passed by this city, I happened to run into some matters, so I stayed behind. Today, I came out for a stroll. I did not expect to see Brother Zhong here," Zhao Suxiang said with a candid smile.
"Indeed, I did not expect this. Zhong Shan still remembers how Brother Zhao tried to persuade Senior at the Iron Spear Sect. Although I did not enter an immortal sect back then, Zhong Shan still thanks Brother Zhao for your help that day," Zhong Shan said solemnly.
Zhong Shan was a person who clearly distinguished gratitude and grudges. Although the matter of the past did not succeed, Zhao Suxiang wanted to help him. Zhong Shan still remembered it in his heart.
"Haha! It did not succeed again. There is no need to thank me. Furthermore, if it had succeeded that day, Brother Zhong would not have been fortunate enough to enter the Rising Sun Sect, "Zhao Suxiang said with a smile.
"There is no need for pleasantries. Just call me Zhong Shan," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Alright, you can also call me Suoxiang or Zhao Suxiang. Either will do," Zhao Suxiang said.
"Suoxiang, please." Zhong Shan nodded and picked up a cup of wine. Then, he toasted Zhao Suxiang.
Zhao Suxiang also picked up a cup of wine. Very forthrightly, the two of them drained it in one gulp.
"This time, your Rising Sun Sect's experiential training is also for that person called Hao San, right?" Zhao Suxiang suddenly asked.
Upon hearing Zhao Suxiang's words, Zhong Shan frowned. This tone made it sound like everyone was looking for Hao San. Originally, he thought that only the Rising Sun Sect was looking for him. Now, he realized that this was not the case.
"That's right. Who is this Hao San? "Zhong Shan asked.
"I'm not sure. However, I heard my master say that on that day, all the sects knew about Hao San and were looking for him. Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, the sects would reward anyone who caught him. Now, as long as one is a cultivator, it seems that everyone knows about this person," Zhao Suxiang said, shaking his head.
The two of them chatted with each other.
Downstairs, at the entrance of the hall on the first floor, a man in a black robe with a sword on his back slowly walked in under the respectful guidance of several guides.
The person at the entrance was about to step forward to welcome them, but when he saw the people leading the way, he was stunned. This was because one of them was the owner of the Golden Brick Building. The owner, who used to be so domineering, had actually changed from arrogance to deference to a black-robed man today?
"Where is Zhao Suxiang?" the man in a black robe with a sword on his back asked faintly.
"On the second floor. He is eating on the second floor," the owner of the Golden Brick Building immediately said.
"Okay." The man in a black robe with a sword on his back nodded and was about to follow the owner of the Golden Brick Building up slowly.
When he was halfway up the stairs, the man in a black robe suddenly frowned and looked at a gambling table not far from the hall on the first floor.
The gambling table was surrounded by a group of people. A young woman in a red robe was extremely beautiful. Her smooth skin made her look like a porcelain doll. At this moment, there was a stack of banknotes in front of her. There was also a large amount of silver ingots that were being bet with the person opposite her.
There were at least a hundred banknotes in that stack. One banknote was worth a thousand ingots, which was ten thousand taels of silver. One hundred banknotes, one million taels of silver?
What a big deal.
However, what was surprising was that the young woman in a red robe was indeed always losing money. Moreover, the more she lost, the more anxious she became.
However, she had a lot of money. One million taels of silver. When she took out the stack of banknotes and placed it on the table, everyone around her got off the table. At the same time, they all looked at the stack of banknotes with envy and watched as the dealer won them one by one.
The gamblers around them all stopped gambling. This was a once in a thousand years opportunity to lose one million taels of silver here?
"Miss, are you still betting on small?" The dealer asked.
"Yes, I'm still betting on small. I'm betting on small." Tian Ling 'er angrily took out another ten thousand taels of silver and threw it over.
"Alright. Once you've made your bet, four, five, six, fifteen, big." The dealer opened the wooden bucket and revealed the three dice in the wooden trough.
"No, I want to see the dice." Tian Ling 'er immediately shouted.
Then, she carefully looked at the dice. There was no problem. The dice had six sides, and the six sides were different! Why? Why was it always big?
"Again." Tian Ling 'er did not believe it and threw another banknote over.
On the stairs, the man in a black robe with a sword on his back saw Tian Ling 'er losing money. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. It was not because of the banknotes, but because he saw Tian Ling' er's bracelet.
A storage bracelet?
When he saw that, the man in a black robe with a sword on his back immediately whispered a few words into the owner's ear.
"Yes, Childe Tang. Just watch me." The owner of the Golden Brick Building immediately said excitedly.
"Okay." The man in a black robe with a sword on his back immediately nodded and followed the owner downstairs.
Two hours later, Zhong Shan and Zhao Suxiang were upstairs talking happily. Zhong Shan felt that Zhao Suxiang should be a person worthy of deep friendship. Based on his many years of experience in the world of mortals, Zhong Shan believed that Zhao Suxiang was a man of honor and a man of promises. Therefore, the two talked happily.
Downstairs, Tian Ling 'er was anxious at this moment. Zhong Shan had given her one million taels of silver before. Although he did not tell her what one million taels of silver meant, she knew that she had lost a lot this time. She always wanted to win the money back, but she lost every time. "Am I so unlucky?"
While Tian Ling 'er was anxious, she suddenly glanced at the expression of a bystander next to her. Pity, pity, and ridicule.
Although Tian Ling 'er was a little naive, she was not stupid. She immediately realized that there must be something wrong.
"They cheated me of my money?" "There must be something wrong, but what's the problem?" "I didn't see them being ghosts."
In front of her, there were two banknotes worth 20,000 taels of silver, but opposite her, there was a thick stack of banknotes worth 980,000 taels of silver.
"Miss, do you want to continue?" The owner of the Golden Brick Building suddenly asked with a smile. Next to him stood the dealer and the man in a black robe with a sword on his back.
Tian Ling 'er looked at the group of people in front of her as if they were all bad people who cheated her of her money. However, she did not know what was going on. "What should I do? The money Zhong Shan gave me is about to be lost."
Tian Ling 'er was extremely anxious.
"How about this? Miss, if you have anything valuable, such as that bracelet of yours, as long as it's valuable enough, then you can use it as cash." The owner of the Golden Brick Building said.
"Cash?" Tian Ling 'er frowned and said. There were some good things in her storage bracelet, but did they recognize them?
"Yes, I think you are the same as me. I have an Empty Spirit Bead and 980,000 taels of silver. If you have something good, you can bet again." The man in a black robe with a sword on his back suddenly said.
The man in a black robe with a sword on his back was telling Tian Ling 'er that he was also a member of the Immortal Sect. As long as she had something good, he would recognize it.
Looking at the stack of banknotes, Tian Ling 'er gritted her teeth. In fact, Tian Ling' er did not care about the Empty Spirit Bead, but she cared about the stack of banknotes. Although she did not know the value, it was Zhong Shan's after all. Zhong Shan let her spend as she liked, but Tian Ling 'er did not want to lose it so easily.
Tian Ling 'er did not want to. She really did not want to.
"Do you want to bet again?" She had won several times before. Maybe, maybe next time, she could win. Tian Ling 'er kept struggling in her heart. She looked distressed. Tian Ling 'er did not want to lose her treasures, and at the same time, she wanted to take back the stack of banknotes.
"Empty Spirit Bead? How generous. Let me do it. "
While she was anxious, Zhong Shan's sneer suddenly came from behind Tian Ling 'er.
