It had to be said that Ning Jing's mask had caused a great deal of trouble. The people of Myriad Merchant Hall had never seen Tang Li before, so they couldn't recognize this son-in-law, but they could recognize her. She had originally wanted to hide her identity so that the people of Myriad Merchant Hall wouldn't recognize her, but who knew that they would run into Ning Cheng in the casino? Once Ning Cheng recognized Tang Li, it didn't matter how hard she tried to hide it.
All of this was caused by the mask. If she didn't have this mask, Ning Cheng wouldn't have suspected Ning Jing of anything. However, it was precisely because of this mask that Ning Cheng became vigilant.
"This subordinate is still unable to speak with Miss Jing alone, but Miss Jing should be able to understand this subordinate's intentions. She will continue to lead the Tang Sect Master to the casino," the Great Elder replied truthfully.
"She must understand!" Ning Cheng said Coldly.
"But if the Tang Sect Master insists on not gambling, this subordinate is afraid that this subordinate won't be able to keep him." The Great Elder was in a difficult position.
Tang Li could resolutely wash his hands of gambling after winning five hundred million. This meant that Uncle Cheng's efforts as a dealer had not succeeded in bewitching Tang Li's mind. Tang Li was still very clear-headed.
"You have to stay even if you don't want to gamble." Ning Cheng's attitude was domineering. He was determined to capture Bai Yanqing on this trip to Blacktower. Once he captured Bai Yanqing, he could continue with Han Yunxi's scheme and use Bai Yanqing to threaten Jun Yi Xie. Once he restrained Jun Yi Xie's warhorse, he could resume the war with East Qin.
He admitted that he was very anxious, for no other reason than that Han Yunxi had fallen into Long Fei Ye's hands. In public, if this matter was accidentally exposed, or if Long Fei Ye maliciously announced it, Western Qin would lose all face and the hearts of Western Qin soldiers would turn cold. Personally, he just wanted to see that woman as soon as possible.
"You just need to find a chance to pass on my words to Ning Jing. Leave the rest to Ning Jing!" Ning Cheng's attitude was firm. "Tell Ning Jing to finish what she needs to do in the black market. She doesn't need to return to the Tang Clan, either. I'll leave everything in Cloud Realm Trade Consortium to her."
Hearing this, First Elder let out a sigh of relief. Letting Miss Jing, who he was most familiar with, deal with Tang Li was better than letting an old man like him, who knew nothing about Tang Li, come up with an idea. He believed that Miss Jing wouldn't disappoint everyone.
"I understand. I'll do it right away." The Great Elder left happily.
After instructing the head elder, Ning Cheng took Bai Yuqiao with him and left Three-Way Black Market behind Gu's back. Through the night, they headed for Blacktower.
Currently, Ning Jing and Tang Li were in a teahouse in Myriad Merchant Hall. Only a few servant girls waited on them, but Ning Jing was well aware of the number of guards outside. She was even more aware that someone was watching their every move from the shadows.
She and Tang Li hadn't even exchanged their chips for silver notes when First Elder arrived. He pretended to recognize Tang Li as the Tang Clan Head and the son-in-law of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium.
It was obvious that First Elder's actions were on Ning Cheng's orders. From that moment on, Ning Jing knew they wouldn't be able to escape. She could only take off her mask and admit her identity.
Tang Li was shrewd enough to know that Ning Cheng wasn't planning to let them go.
In the silence of the room, the two of them had a tacit understanding of the situation.
Ning Jing wanted to speak multiple times, but didn't know what to say. In the end, it was Tang Li who spoke first. In a low voice, he asked, "Will we be able to leave if we cooperate with the arms trade?"
"Yes. Will you agree? "Ning Jing knew it was impossible, but she couldn't help but harbor some hope.
Tang Li didn't hesitate to deny it. "Impossible!"
Ning Jing laughed coldly in her heart, but her face remained expressionless. "Then what do we do?"
"Then we'll just wait!" Tang Li's face was relaxed and optimistic.
Ning Jing finally lost her temper, but she kept it to herself. "How long do you want to stay?" she asked mildly.
"Until the end of time, I guess. I'll have money in my hands and people by my side, so that's enough," Tang Li said easily.
She should have been moved, but perhaps because she knew all too well that he was joking, Ning Jing finally showed her anger. She growled, "I want to! Leave this godforsaken place! "
"Then you'll have to think of a way yourself. Anyway, I can't do anything to your family." Tang Li shrugged with an innocent look on his face.
What he said just now was a joke, but it wasn't a joke either. Staying here for the rest of her life was pretty good too.
Ning Jing didn't say anything. She secretly laughed at herself for being childish. How could she rely on Tang Li to escape? Tang Li was now a fish on the chopping board. She could only rely on herself!
Not only could she not arouse Ning Cheng's suspicion, but she could also think of a way to escape.
She stared at Tang Li quietly. At first, Tang Li didn't feel anything, but after being stared at for a long time, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Jing Jing, what are you thinking about?" he asked timidly.
"Nothing." Ning Jing then shifted her gaze and looked out the door.
She had an idea! If she gave up on Tang Li and escaped on her own, she still had a chance of winning.
She originally wanted to get rid of Tang Li. What was wrong with her brain just now? Why did she keep thinking about taking Tang Li away from the black market? She had to escape first. At most, she could report Tang Li's whereabouts to the Tang Sect. The rest would depend on Tang Li's luck.
In any case, before Ning Cheng got the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, he would at most torture Tang Li a little. He wouldn't kill him.
Thinking up to here, Ning Jing's entire body relaxed.
Whether it was day or night, the black market would never stop bustling. The clamor of the casino, the clamor of the auction house, and the hubbub of voices in several stores seemed to never stop.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had already left. Ning Cheng and Bai Yuqiao had also left. However, Gu was still immersed in the gambling table and playing excitedly.
Gu dragged Ning Cheng to the black market to rest because he didn't want to go to the black tower so early. He wanted to deal with Ning Cheng first. The reason why he was so relaxed and immersed in the gambling table was because he was sure that without him there, Ning Cheng couldn't do anything to Bai Yuqiao.
Along the way, he naturally saw that Bai Yuqiao was trying to sow discord between him and Ning Cheng. However, he didn't think that Ning Cheng would be stupid enough to believe Bai Yuqiao.
So far, he had played ten rounds with Deacon Jin. From the first round to the tenth round, it was a draw. Both of them rolled a number one! All the dice stood together, revealing the topmost number, one.
Gu's gold card was still in the middle of the gambling table. He hadn't lost it.
"Heavens, it's another draw!"
"That's amazing. This is the eleventh time. Both of them are amazing!"
"I didn't expect this young master to be so secretive. Did he lose on purpose just now? Tsk tsk, doesn't it hurt to lose a few hundred million? "
…
There was a lot of discussion around them. Gu's eyes narrowed into a dangerous straight line as he stared at Deacon Jin. This was the first time that Deacon Jin, who had always been quiet and reserved, had been provoked to this extent. He couldn't remain calm and revealed a hostile expression as he stared at Gu. However, Deacon Jin was the host after all. He still maintained his professionalism and said calmly, "Young master, do you want to continue?"
"Of course!" As Gu Qishao spoke, he slapped the table, causing the dice in the bowl to scatter into the air with a clear, melodious clatter.
The corner of Manager Jin's mouth curled up in disdain. With a gentle wave of his hand, the dice in his porcelain bowl scattered and fell into the bowl.
Without a doubt, his technique was much more brilliant and elegant than Gu Qishao's gentle pats.
Gu's eyes turned cold when he saw this. The two of them were competing over such small details. It was obvious that the two of them were really at loggerheads.
At first, Mu Linger was worried sick at heart, but after witnessing Qi gege's gambling skills, she felt completely at ease. She sat by Gu Qishao's side and cheered on his every move, applauding him.
As for Deacon Jin, although her first impression of him was good, Mu Ling 'er had long regarded him as an enemy. His every move was worthless in Mu Ling' er's eyes.
Qi Brother's enemy was Ling 'er's enemy!
The twelfth round soon began. This time, Gu put the lid on the porcelain bowl and did not move.
Deacon Jin despised him for slamming the table, didn't he? He slammed until the end. When he slammed the table, the porcelain bowl jumped up. The dice in the bowl also jumped up and hit the lid with a crisp sound. The porcelain bowl fell on the table and landed very steadily. It did not break or topple over. Gu did not slap it casually.
Gu sat lazily on the chair and crossed his legs on the gambling table. He slammed the table casually. The porcelain bowl jumped up and down, and the dice in it jumped up and down.
It had to be said that Gu's action was a sight to behold in the casino. It was lazy, coquettish, noble, and casual. Even if his devastatingly beautiful face was not revealed, he still attracted the adoration of countless women.
Mu Ling 'er's attention was no longer on the gambling table. It was all on Qi Brother. She smiled foolishly, her heart full of joy and adoration.
Gu was so late, so Deacon Jin naturally had to follow. Deacon Jin was still sitting upright. He pressed one hand on the armrest and slammed the table with the other. Although he did not have as many fancy moves as Gu, he still made the porcelain bowl land on the table steadily.
He slammed the bowl while looking at Gu. Just like how Gu was slamming the bowl while looking at him with raised eyebrows. However, he inadvertently glanced at Mu Ling 'er a few times. His good brother, Ning Cheng, had told him that it would be best to take down Mu Ling' er while holding back Gu.
Deacon Jin had never failed in seducing women. Several women in the black market who were rich, smart, and beautiful had all fallen at his feet. After fighting with Gu for more than ten rounds, he did not see through Gu. However, he saw through Mu Ling 'er.
Although Mu Ling 'er did not show her true colors, her every move betrayed her completely.
Deacon Jin was very sure that this girl was simple, straightforward, willful, and free. She did not have any tricks up her sleeve.
It had to be said that in Deacon Jin's opinion, Mu Ling 'er was not a woman. She could only be considered a girl. He could not help but secretly laugh. Ning Cheng could not even handle such a little girl?
Seeing that Mu Ling 'er was cheering for Gu again, Deacon Jin's eyes flashed with disdain. He suddenly slammed the table. In that instant, his porcelain bowl suddenly flew out and smashed straight at Mu Ling' er.
Everyone was watching excitedly. No one had expected such an accident to happen. Mu Ling 'er was so shocked that she did not know how to dodge. However …
