After Tu Le realized that he was in a dangerous situation, he was prepared to slip away. It was too dangerous to stay with Lü Shu.
Just as he was about to turn around, Lü Shu suddenly called out to him. Lü Shu looked at Tu Le's group and was a little puzzled. "You're just going to bring the gift back like that?!"
"No, no." Tu Le smiled stiffly. "How is that possible?"
"Just stand there and don't move." After Lü Shu finished speaking, he whispered a few words to Yi Qian, and then Yi Qian left in a hurry.
Tu Le suddenly had an ominous premonition. He asked curiously, "What's this senior doing?"
Lü Shu said matter-of-factly, "Nothing, nothing, just buying something."
Tu Le heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, another group of people came from the other side. Tu Le was suddenly overjoyed. It was another Jianlu candidate, and it seemed like he was also here to rope in Lü Shu on behalf of his family.
Everyone realized how important Lü Shu was. Back then, Sun Zhongyang's father, Sun Xiuwen, had worked so hard for so long, but all he got was a comment from the Jianlu's eldest senior. Now that Gu Lingfei had appeared, it was as if she had confirmed Lü Shu's potential.
However, Tu Le did not care about this. He only hoped that someone could help share the burden of Lü Shu's firepower …
Then, something unexpected happened. Lü Shu followed the same routine and asked for the odds of the person who came. Then, he gave the person a gift and made him stay as well.
This matter itself was nothing, but Tu Le suddenly felt that Lü Shu's attitude towards them was like … hoarding goods?
Not long after, the third person came. It was the same routine again.
Then, the fourth person who came was not a Jianlu candidate, so Lü Shu let him go.
Tu Le and the others did not dare to leave. Instead, the three of them chatted. The person who came later asked, "Are you also a candidate?"
"Yes, I'm also a candidate …"
"You too?"
"Yeah, me too …"
When there were six of them, they stood on top of the ruins in boredom, waiting to see what Lü Shu was going to do. They were originally very nervous, but they gradually relaxed and even had the mood to joke around.
After all, it was very stressful to face Lü Shu alone at the beginning. Now that there were more people, everyone was not so timid.
However, when the sixth person arrived, Lü Shu suddenly looked at them and said, "You can announce your forfeiture."
Tu Le: "???"
What the hell?!
Everyone was dumbfounded. There was a Level 1 expert and five Level 2 experts here. You, Lü Shu, made us wait here for so long. You actually want us to collectively give up …
Tu Le finally understood what he was feeling just now. This Lü Shu was storing them here like goods!
But how did you, Lü Shu, have the confidence to defeat a First Pin and five Second Pins at the same time?
Tu Le and the others thought about it carefully. Then, they all looked at each other. The despair in everyone's eyes revealed their true thoughts … He really did have the strength to do so!
Tu Le asked carefully, "Can I ask, what are the bets you're opening this time? The bets for us to be eliminated are very low. Also … "
What Tu Le wanted to say was that your servant left a long time ago, so how would Yi Qian know who would come later?
"Oh." Lü Shu thought for a moment. "The gambling house will have a fixed bets every day on how many people will be eliminated each day. I bet that there will be more than six people eliminated today, so the odds are very high …"
Tu Le was speechless. Although the odds for them to be eliminated weren't high, there was still a bets with high odds.
But why did you plan to gather six people from the beginning? Where did you get your confidence from?!
However, Tu Le felt that his greatest strength was being sensible. He said in a low voice, "How about this, I'll redeem myself at a price higher than the odds …"
Lü Shu's eyes lit up. "Brother!"
Tu Le was speechless.
So, they were brothers again? Although the method was a bit confusing, it didn't seem like a bad idea to suddenly become brothers with a disciple of the Jianlu Sect. What if he became famous one day?
Lü Xiaoyu had the feeling that Lü Shu would have brothers everywhere in the future.
However, Lü Shu still didn't think that was a good idea. "I've already placed a bet at the gambling house. Why don't you redeem yourself and then trick another person into coming over?"
"There's a condition like that?" Tu Le said.
Wait, that's not right. Tu Le suddenly thought of something else. Right now, Lü Shu was going to eliminate six people. Therefore, whoever he tricked into coming over would definitely be eliminated as well!
Although it was infuriating that Lü Shu had cheated him out of his money, he could still use Lü Shu as a helper, as long as he had the money!
Tu Le gritted his teeth. "How about this? I'll fork out a bit more money, and you'll guarantee my safety until the first round. What do you say?"
Lü Shu thought for a moment. "How much?"
"Four million godnotes!"
"Five million!" Lü Shu said.
"Deal!" Tu Le said confidently.
"Wait a minute. What did you just say?" Lü Shu said.
"Deal!"
"One more sentence!"
"Four million godnotes!" Tu Le said.
Lü Shu calmly said, "Eight million."
Tu Le: "???"
[Tu Le's negative emotion value: + 748!]
Most people would feel very conflicted when trying to haggle, as if they were the one who was losing out! Most people would be too embarrassed to take back their words, but Lü Shu was different. He never felt embarrassed.
In the end, the deal was closed at eight million godnotes. Tu Le wasn't the only one to fork out their own money. Everyone else paid out their own money, and then had their servants spread the news to help Lü Shu get more chips ….
The news they spread was very clever, too: so-and-so family had just given Lü Shu a gift in an attempt to rope him in.
Everyone asked around. Wait, those people really were chatting casually with Lü Shu, and there were even gifts lying around him. It was almost like a gift receiving ceremony!
That was how the competition between the rich and powerful worked. No one was willing to be any less than the other. If you could pay up, so could I!
But when they arrived in front of Lü Shu, everyone realized that something was wrong. Tu Le and the others discussed things with Lü Shu, then left with smiles on their faces. The rest of the people looked at Lü Shu in despair ….
On the day that Lü Shu became the successor of Jianlu, everyone thought that the selection would return to normal, but the gamblers of the capital once again headed for the Hidden Dragon River ….
Behind the Jianlu's sea of clouds, Gu Lingfei wore a white robe with red trimmings. She sat on the head of the Black Panther and walked up the mountain. When she saw the young man sitting at the top of the mountain, she said unhappily, "Senior Brother, why don't you just disqualify him and kick him out of the capital? If Master were in Jianlu, he wouldn't tolerate this brat! "
The young man had a small white sword between his eyebrows. He didn't even open his eyes. "Because I'm worried that one day he'll get angry and tear down Jianlu."
