I have finally lived up to the expectations of "The Old King and His Dagger". 12,000 words are done. Friends who recommend me, could you please give me two?

"Ha!"
All of a sudden, Master Liao let out a roar. Taking a step forward with his right leg, he caught up with Ye Xuan. His right hand was aimed at Ye Xuan's chest, and he raised his left hand to hit Ye Xuan's head from above.
Master Liao's move was the killer move of the Liao Family Fist. It was a killer move right off the bat. Master Liao wanted to establish his dominance by taking care of the small fry first. He wanted to show Ye Wen his prowess so that it would be much easier to take care of Ye Wen later.
Once he thought of defeating Ye Wen, his dojo would be rolling in money. Thinking of how Ye Wen could eat such a sumptuous meal, Master Liao could not help but fantasize about his future life.
He wanted to use me to establish his dominance?
Ye Xuan saw Master Liao's move and immediately saw through his intentions. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes and his hands changed. One hand turned into a claw and grabbed at the right hand that was coming for his chest, while the other hand turned into a fist and punched at the fist that was coming for his head.
Bam!
A dull sound rang out as Master Liao felt as if his fist had smashed into a rock. An intense pain pierced through the bones of his fingers.
It was not over yet. Just as Master Liao was about to retreat, he suddenly felt his right wrist being grabbed. Then, he saw Ye Xuan turn his fist into a palm and hit his chest.
"Bam!" With a muffled sound, Master Liao was sent flying by this palm. He flew for nearly two meters in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Wah!" The young man who was peeping from outside saw Master Liao being sent flying by a young man who was about the same age as him. His mouth could not help but open wide.
Ye Xuan looked at Master Liao who was crawling up from the ground. The corner of his mouth twitched. If he had not turned his fist into a palm and only used 50% of his strength, Master Liao would probably not even be able to get up now.
"Hmph!" Master Liao let out a muffled sound as he stood up while holding onto his chest. The way he looked at Ye Xuan had already changed. However, when he saw Ye Wen standing at the side, he couldn't help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. He originally wanted to take care of this pawn first before taking care of Ye Wen. Who knew that the pawn in his eyes was actually a tiger in pig's skin?
"Ah!" Master Liao yelled. He clenched his fists and dashed toward Ye Xuan again.
Seeing that Master Liao did not know what was good for him, Ye Xuan squinted his eyes. He clenched his fist and used seventy percent of his strength to punch at Master Liao's fist.
Bang!
This time, Master Liao felt like he didn't hit a rock, but a wall. A huge force came from the fist that collided with him. Master Liao let out another muffled groan. He lost all feeling in his right hand. His body was also knocked back by this huge force, and finally fell on his butt.
"Master Liao, are you alright?" Seeing that Master Liao couldn't even take one move, Ye Wen quickly went up to show his concern.
"I'm sorry, Master Liao. Did I use too much force?" Ye Xuan also walked over and said in a mocking tone.
Ye Xuan admitted that he wasn't a person who could do whatever he wanted. Just now, Master Liao clearly looked down on him and even wanted to use him to establish his dominance. Ye Xuan was also a person with a temper.
Hearing Ye Wen and Ye Xuan's words, especially hearing the mockery in Ye Xuan's words, Master Liao's tanned face turned red. He endured the intense pain and stood up while holding onto his dislocated arm. He said firmly, "I'm fine!"
"Thank you for letting me win, Master Liao!" Seeing his expression, Ye Xuan knew that the competition couldn't continue. He immediately cupped his fist and announced his victory.
Although Master Liao was unwilling to be defeated before he even had the chance to fight Ye Wen, the sharp pain in his right arm made him realize the reality. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you for letting me win!"
Ye Wen also saw Master Liao's injury and knew that the competition with him would probably end without any results. He said to him kindly, "Master Liao, I don't think it's suitable for us to compete today. Why don't we have a cup of tea in the living room first? We can make friends through literature and exchange our insights."
"No, there's no need for that. I'll take my leave first!" Feeling the intense pain in his arm like needles, Master Liao didn't want to stay any longer. He thought that it would be better for him to go back early and see a bruiser.
The three of them walked out of the side hall. Seeing them walk out, Uncle Wang went to open the door.
Master Liao stood in front of the door and looked at Ye Wen and Ye Xuan. He cupped his fist and said humbly, "Thank you for your guidance. I've learned a lot …"
"Master Liao, you're too kind. Same to you!" Ye Xuan cupped his fist and smiled.
Then, Master Liao suddenly took a step forward with a complicated smile on his face. He whispered to Ye Xuan, "Master Ye, about our closed-door competition this time, please …"
"I definitely won't tell anyone. Don't worry!" Of course, Ye Xuan knew what Master Liao wanted to say. He smiled and nodded. However, his eyes were looking at the wall. There was a young figure climbing down the wall with a kite in his hand.
He wouldn't tell anyone, but if someone else mentioned it, then it would be none of his business.
"I can't thank you enough, I can't thank you enough!" Master Liao smiled calmly. Then, he cupped his fist and said to Ye Wen, "I'll take my leave!"
"Take care!"
"I won't be seeing you out!"
Master Liao came in high spirits and returned in disappointment. Looking at his somewhat dispirited figure, Ye Wen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Ye Xuan didn't have such a feeling. Since he wanted to step on others, he had to be prepared to be stepped on by others.
Unknowingly, the lanterns were lit and night fell. Seeing that it was already night, Ye Xuan didn't want to stay any longer. He said to Ye Wen, "Brother Wen, I'll take my leave too!"
"So soon? Let's have a chat and exchange some pointers! "Ye Wen was a little reluctant to leave after finally finding someone who practiced martial arts on par with him.
"Hehe, don't worry. I won't be leaving Buddha Mountain anytime soon. We have plenty of time. Besides, it's getting late. Sister-in-law is … "Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and said to Ye Wen with a teasing smile.
Ye Wen could only smile bitterly in response to Ye Xuan's smile. They had been married for many years. Of course, he knew that although his wife was well-educated and well-mannered, she hated him sparring with others. If she knew that he was going to talk to Ye Xuan through the night, she would probably be unhappy again. Between his wife and martial arts, he, who had always loved his wife deeply, would only choose the latter.
"Then, if you're free, you must come and spar with me again." Ye Wen could only say so in the end.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave. Brother Wen, help me say goodbye to Sister-in-law and Ah Zhun!" Ye Xuan smiled and waved. Then, he turned around and walked out of the door in a carefree manner.
"Alright, then take care!" Ye Wen walked Ye Xuan all the way to the door.
"Take care!"
Ye Xuan cupped his fists, turned around, and walked towards the street.
Perhaps for the sake of tranquility, Ye Wen's house was built in a rather remote place. Ye Xuan walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the street. At this time, Buddha Mountain's economy was already quite developed. Even the streets were bustling at night. Every shop was brightly lit, and the streets were bustling with people and carriages.
The reason why Ye Xuan didn't continue to stay at Ye Wen's house was that he still had some matters to attend to.
As the ancients said, "Money is the courage of a hero!" A penny stumped a hero! Money wasn't omnipotent, but it was impossible to do anything without money! From these words, one could see the importance of money. Therefore, Ye Xuan's goal tonight was to earn some money. In this world, the place to earn money the fastest was undoubtedly one of the casinos.
Standing by the street, Ye Xuan extended his hand, and a rickshaw ran over.
"Boss, where are you going?" The rickshaw driver stopped the rickshaw in front of Ye Xuan and asked with a flattering smile.
"The biggest casino in Buddha Mountain. Do you know?" Ye Xuan knew that if he wanted to go somewhere, he just needed to find the people he was most familiar with. Who was most familiar with Buddha Mountain? It wasn't the mayor or those local ruffians. It was the people who walked the streets every day and interacted with people from all walks of life. They lived at the bottom of society.
"I know, I know. The Royal Casino is the biggest in the whole of Buddha Mountain. It can even be ranked in the whole of Guangdong. However, it's a little far from you. Boss, you see … "The rickshaw driver was a little slippery. He wanted to negotiate the price first. He rubbed his hands and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Send me there, and this money is yours!" Ye Xuan didn't care at all. How could people who lived at the bottom of society survive if they weren't slippery? He took out a 100 yuan note from his pocket and waved it in front of the rickshaw driver.
"Okay, boss, please take a seat!" Seeing Ye Xuan take out the money, the rickshaw driver's eyes lit up. He politely wiped the seat cushion with a towel and nodded his head.
Ye Xuan nodded his head and sat on the rickshaw. Then, the rickshaw driver propped up two poles and pulled the rickshaw. He shuttled through the crowd and quickly blended into the crowd. Gradually, he disappeared into the distance.
After about 40 minutes, the rickshaw finally stopped in front of a magnificent building. In front of the building, there was a huge colorful signboard with the words "Royal" written on it.
"Boss, here we are!" The rickshaw driver carefully put down the rickshaw and looked at Ye Xuan with a flattering smile.
"This is the biggest casino in the whole of Buddha Mountain?" Ye Xuan got off the rickshaw and raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, boss. The Royal Casino is the biggest in the whole of Buddha Mountain. I heard that the owner of this casino has a very powerful background. When it opened, even Mayor Du Yufeng came to congratulate him," the rickshaw driver said enviously. The coachman said enviously. To him, the rank of mayor was already a very impressive existence.
"Okay, here you are!" Ye Xuan nodded his head. He took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the rickshaw driver. Then, he walked towards the door.
He was not afraid of having a powerful background. With a powerful background and such a big casino, he could only rest assured when he won money. In Ye Xuan's mind, the casino in front of him was no longer a casino. It was his ATM!
"Welcome!"
As soon as he entered the door, there were two rows of beautiful waitresses standing on both sides of the door. They were all wearing beautiful cheongsams with slits up to the thighs. All of them had sweet smiles on their faces.
Ye Xuan secretly nodded his head. Not bad, it was quite formal and a little modern. No wonder it could become the biggest casino in Buddha Mountain. It really had its merits.
Looking at the floor sign on the wall, Ye Xuan saw that the casino was on the third and fourth floors of the building. Without any hesitation, Ye Xuan directly climbed up the stairs to the third floor.
Following the instructions upstairs, he walked into a corridor and turned a corner. Then, he saw a big door. There were people coming and going inside, and it was noisy.
"Welcome!" There were two beautiful waitresses standing at the door. When they saw Ye Xuan enter, they bowed to greet him. As their collars were cut very low, when they bowed, Ye Xuan could even faintly see the snow-white skin under their collars.
Ye Xuan walked straight in. The interior was splendidly decorated, and the floor was so glossy that one could see one's reflection in it. Dozens of gambling tables were filled with hundreds of people. All kinds of gambling tools and methods were available. Dice, Pai Gow, Roulette, Five-card Stud, and even more than a dozen slot machines could be seen.
Ye Xuan observed for a while and came to the counter where the chips were exchanged.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The waitress at the counter looked at Ye Xuan and asked with a professional smile.
"Help me exchange 300 yuan in chips!" Ye Xuan took out the remaining three 100 yuan bills and put them on the counter.
Looking at the three 100-dollar bills that Ye Xuan pushed over, the waitress was taken aback. This was the first time she had seen someone exchange chips that were less than 1,000. Although she was not allowed to ridicule customers due to her professionalism, it did not stop her from looking at Ye Xuan with disdain.
"Sir, here are your chips!" The waitress said stiffly as she pushed three red chips in front of Ye Xuan.
The common chips in this casino were divided into five types. Red represented 100, yellow represented 1000, green represented 10000, blue represented 100000, and purple represented 1000000.
Of course, Ye Xuan saw the waitress's disdainful look, but he didn't care. The last laugh was the best.
