The Fairy's Capital's Three Goats Alley
The night was hazy and the moonlight was like water.
Chu Li stood quietly outside the door of a house, sizing it up.
This was the Imperial Maid's house. She must have been rewarded with a lot of money when she left the palace or else she would not be living here.
The Capital City was huge and it was not easy to live here. Commoners could not afford a house in the Fairy's Capital.
He did not see the Imperial Maid's son in his mind. There was only a drunk man hugging a wine jar and sleeping soundly. His face was red and he was drunk. His voice was loud like thunder.
There were no martial arts masters around. Prince An did not send anyone, or he had already sent someone.
He glided into the bedroom and stood in front of the curled up man. He reached out and patted him to dispel most of his drunkenness.
The man was in his thirties. He was tall and somewhat handsome. He could charm many women, but unfortunately, his handsome face was bruised. Chu Li could tell at a glance that he had been beaten up by someone.
"Hmm … hmm …" The man turned his body over. His head was facing inwards and he hugged the wine jar even tighter.
"Pa!" Chu Li slapped his back again. It was loud and clear. "Wake up!"
The man sat up and hugged his head with both hands. He quickly curled up and shouted, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me! "
"What's your name?" Chu Li took a chair and sat in front of the bed.
"Zhu Ziwen," the man said with his eyes closed.
Chu Li said lightly, "Yang Xu asked me to come!"
"Yang Xu?" Zhu Ziwen let go and turned to look at Chu Li, "That b * tch?"
Chu Li frowned, "Where's the child?"
"Child?" Zhu Ziwen's face immediately turned cold, "Who are you? What's your relationship with Yang Xu? "
Chu Li had already seen the truth in his mind. His face darkened, "You sold the child?"
He owed a huge gambling debt. Not only did he sell his son, but he also sold his wife, Yang Xu. Yang Xu had not returned yet. As soon as she returned, the people from the casino would come and get her.
The casino was not normal to dare to buy Yang Xu, who was a Imperial Maid.
"Nonsense!" Zhu Ziwen shook his head.
Chu Li looked at him coldly, "You don't know Yang Xu's identity?"
Zhu Ziwen chuckled. He kept his mouth shut and turned his head away from him.
"You're really ruthless." Chu Li sized up this man who looked like gold and jade on the outside. He was truly the scum of the scum.
"Heh, he's not my son anyway!" Zhu Ziwen curled his lips.
Chu Li said, "Bring me to the casino. I'll pay off your debt and redeem your son."
"Really?" Zhu Ziwen's eyes widened.
Chu Li stood up. "I don't have time to joke with you. I came to look for your son. "
"Are you Little Quan's biological father?"
"No."
"Then who is Little Quan's biological father?"
"You." Chu Li said coldly, "One more word and you'll lose a hundred taels of silver!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Zhu Ziwen smiled apologetically.
He carefully put down the jar of wine, got out of bed, put on his boots, and walked out.
Chu Li followed him into the alley. He looked around and asked, "Why did the casino buy your son?"
"Who knows?" Zhu Ziwen shrunk his neck and hugged his shoulders. He couldn't stand the chill of the night. He laughed and said, "Anyway, I won't kill him and eat his flesh."
Chu Li glanced at him. "I won't worship him like the Eldest Young Master."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhu Ziwen smiled. "It's okay. It doesn't matter where he lives, as long as he doesn't die."
"He's not your flesh and blood." Chu Li nodded.
Zhu Ziwen nodded.
Chu Li shook his head and said nothing more.
The Fairy's Capital was a city that never sleeps. No matter how late it was, there would still be people playing on the streets. They left the alley and arrived at the busy main street. They walked east along the main street and soon arrived at a brightly lit building. Loud noises could be heard coming from the building.
The three words "Fragrance Tower" reflected the golden light.
"This place is run by Prince Cheng, so no one dares to owe money!" Zhu Ziwen warned, afraid that Chu Li would do something stupid.
Chu Li frowned. "Prince Cheng?"
"Yes." Zhu Ziwen nodded. "Prince Cheng has a good reputation. He's the most fair in his dealings. No one dares to cheat. If you win money, no one will have any ideas on you!"
"Will Prince Cheng do this kind of business?" Chu Li scoffed.
Zhu Ziwen laughed. "These Princes dare to do anything. As long as they don't commit murder or arson, no one dares to say anything!"
Chu Li frowned and nodded. He gestured for him to enter.
Zhu Ziwen stood in front of the restaurant and stopped. He puffed out his chest and then shrunk back. He said in a low voice, "Can you really help me pay my debt?"
"How much?"
"One … One thousand taels."
"One thousand taels. You're really good! "Chu Li took out a banknote and waved it in front of him.
Zhu Ziwen's eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at the banknote and was overjoyed. He puffed out his chest again and walked into the main hall with his head held high.
The main hall was brightly lit. It was as bright as day. The people at the tables were focused on the center of the table. They ignored the people entering and exiting. They would roar, sigh, or laugh from time to time.
Zhu Ziwen grabbed a waiter and wanted to see Third Master Qi.
The waiter pointed the way and Zhu Ziwen brought Chu Li upstairs.
The second floor was a restaurant. Tables and tables of delicious food were served. The laughter of men and women mingled with the sound of stringed instruments. It was a luxurious atmosphere.
The two of them came to a table and saw the skinny Third Master Qi.
He had an oval face and a sharp chin. He had three strands of goatee. He looked lazy and listless. He glanced at Zhu Ziwen. "Elder Zhu, your wife is back?"
He was the only one sitting at the table. There was no Protector beside him.
Chu Li could tell that Third Master Qi was an Innate Master. An Innate Master would do such a thing. It seemed that this casino was quite famous.
Zhu Ziwen puffed out his chest and laughed. "Third Master, I'm here to pay my debt!"
"How are you going to pay your debt?" Third Master Qi smiled. "You've sold your wife and son. Oh, you're selling your house? Listen to me, go home and live your life! "
"This brother will repay my debt." Zhu Ziwen pointed at Chu Li and smiled at him in an attempt to please him.
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Third Master Qi, how much does he owe?"
"A thousand taels." Third Master Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Li. "Our restaurant is the fairest. We won't compound interest. A thousand taels is a thousand taels. Are you really going to pay for him?"
Chu Li took out the thousand taels banknote and put it on the table. "Where's the child?"
"You still want the child back?" Third Master Qi smiled and shook his head. "It's too late. We've already dealt with it. If you return this thousand taels, his wife won't have to come over."
"Where's the child?" Chu Li took out another thousand taels banknote and put the two banknotes together. "This thousand taels is for the child."
"How generous." Third Master Qi smiled. His squinted eyes lit up. He sighed. "Unfortunately, you're too late. The child might have been cleansed by now."
Chu Li took out another ten thousand taels banknote and put it on top of the two thousand taels banknotes. "If you see the child in fifteen minutes, these are all yours."
His green robe moved even though there was no wind. He looked at Third Master Qi calmly.
Third Master Qi's expression changed. An Innate Master!
Chu Li took out a thousand taels banknote and shook it lightly. The banknote turned into pieces. "If you don't see the child in fifteen minutes, this will be the end of these banknotes."
"Bang!" Third Master Qi slammed the table and stared at Chu Li angrily.
Chu Li looked at him calmly.
Third Master Qi's eyes flashed. He shouted, "Guards!"
Two men in green robes responded and strode towards him. "Third Master!"
Third Master Qi gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Get Elder Zhu's son back. If you don't see him in fifteen minutes, don't come back!"
"Yes!" The two men shouted. They turned around and rushed to the window. They pushed it open and jumped out.
