Ch 10: The Ye Siblings
“Huh?”
Li Hanzhou took the Prajna Axe, weighed it in his hand, and said helplessly, “The Grand Profound Sacred Land, such a large place, and the participation prize is a broken axe? Oh well, it’s all fate.”
“Please, Martial Uncle, punish me,” Liu Dongyue said, bowing.
“Forget it, it’s not your fault.” Li Hanzhou didn’t intend to punish Liu Dongyue; after all, in his opinion, Liu Dongyue had certainly done his best.
This Longevity Temple is impoverished; usually, the disciples don’t even have enough nutrition. How could they possibly compare to those excellent disciples who have everything they want?
Liu Dongyue was also surprised. When he returned, he had prepared himself mentally to be scolded by Li Hanzhou, but Li Hanzhou didn’t scold him.
How strange.
“By the way, Martial Uncle, is there a problem with your Seven Treasures Gourd in refining?” Liu Dongyue still couldn’t help but ask.
“Problem?” Li Hanzhou’s heart skipped a beat. From the moment the Seven Treasures Gourd emitted a green light, Li Hanzhou sensed that the gourd might have a problem. It seems that this time, he didn’t get a ranking because the Seven Treasures Gourd was unusable?
Liu Dongyue hesitated for a moment, then recounted the events, omitting his final victory.
He was afraid Li Hanzhou couldn’t bear it.
“Stealing clothes?” Li Hanzhou was also stunned after hearing this.
The instructions didn’t mention that the Seven Treasures Gourd had such a function.
There’s nothing wrong with the code I wrote. Why would this happen?
“So, the Zhao Family and the Overlord Saber Sect disciples, you stripped them all naked?” Li Hanzhou was startled.
“Yes,” Liu Dongyue said sheepishly, “and Lu Tianxing of the Grand Profound Sacred Land, and so on.”
Li Hanzhou had a face full of black lines.
Not only did he not get his money back, but he also offended so many people.
What if they come looking for an explanation?
Maybe we should just disband, and I’ll go back to my Gao Laozhuang.
Seeing Li Hanzhou’s face turn ugly, Liu Dongyue quickly said, “But Martial Uncle, the talismans you drew are truly amazing. Lu Tianxing, with his Ninth Rank cultivation, couldn’t even break through your Vajra Talisman with one axe. Martial Uncle, when did you become so strong…?”
Before he finished speaking, Liu Dongyue was dumbfounded.
Because he just then discovered that there was no trace of True Qi on Li Hanzhou’s body.
He was like an ordinary person.
What’s going on?
Although his cultivation wasn’t high before, he at least had Sixth Rank cultivation. How come he doesn’t even have First Rank now?
“Oh, how am I going to live?” Li Hanzhou didn’t pay any attention to Liu Dongyue’s words about the Vajra Talisman. In his opinion, it was just Liu Dongyue changing the subject. Could he not know what kind of stuff he drew?
How could that thing be useful?
Blocking the attack of a Ninth Rank martial artist?
Just listen and forget it.
“What exactly happened to Martial Uncle?” Seeing Li Hanzhou return to his small courtyard, Liu Dongyue asked Shi Ming and Yun Qianzhu beside him, but both only shook their heads. They didn’t know what had happened to Li Hanzhou.
“Martial Uncle said he wants to ascend,” Shi Ming told Liu Dongyue.
“Pfft!” Liu Dongyue almost choked on his own saliva.
“Martial Uncle must be sick,” Liu Dongyue guessed.
Not long after, Li Hanzhou went out with his Ping Jin Fan.
He could only go to White Cloud City again to see if he could meet a few more suckers to earn some money and repay his gambling debt.
“Stay home and behave yourselves. I’m going out to make money,” Li Hanzhou said before leaving the Longevity Temple.
“Make money?” Liu Dongyue sighed lightly, “It seems Martial Uncle is seriously ill.”
Arriving at the familiar White Cloud City.
Li Hanzhou first casually inquired about the City Lord’s Mansion. That day, his Qi Gazing Technique saw an ominous aura soaring above Ye Yun’s head, guessing that the Ye family should be extinct.
But after inquiring, he found that nothing had happened to the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Strange.”
Li Hanzhou said to himself in surprise, “That ominous aura, and they’re still alive?”
“Could it be that my Qi Gazing Technique is faulty?”
With this suspicion, Li Hanzhou was just about to set up his stall when he heard many footsteps behind him.
Li Hanzhou looked back and saw twenty or thirty people walking over. The leader had a scar on his face, looking very ferocious, and the others were also eyeing Li Hanzhou covetously.
This made Li Hanzhou’s heart sink.
From his memory, these people were from the casino.
“Li Hanzhou, didn’t expect to meet you here. How’s the money coming along?” The Scar-faced Man sneered, “Three days is the deadline. If you don’t pay us back, you’ll lose your hand.”
“Isn’t there still three days?” Li Hanzhou frowned, “In three days, I will definitely return the eight hundred taels of silver.”
“Eight hundred taels?” The Scar-faced Man shook a finger, “Eight hundred taels is just the principal. You haven’t calculated the interest yet. Including the interest, it’s a total of four thousand two hundred taels.”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou fell silent. He didn’t argue because he knew that the other party was being unreasonable; arguing wouldn’t help.
It seems I really need to run away.
Four thousand two hundred taels.
Where am I going to rob that much?
“Eight hundred taels of silver, plus interest to four thousand two hundred taels? What a nerve! Who allowed you to calculate the money this way?” At this moment, a voice came from behind the Scar-faced Man.
“Who dares to meddle in the affairs of our White Cloud Casino?”
The Scar-faced Man roared angrily and looked back, only to see a young person in a carriage behind him looking at them with a sneer.
“Ye Yun!”
The Scar-faced Man was startled.
“So it’s Young Master Ye Yun.” The Scar-faced Man quickly spoke politely.
“This senior owes you how much money? I’ll pay it back for him.” At this time, the carriage curtain rolled open, and Ye Ziying’s figure slowly emerged.
A powerful aura instantly pressed down.
Everyone in the casino was startled; they didn’t expect Ye Ziying to come in person.
“Miss,” everyone said respectfully.
The Scar-faced Man also said sheepishly, “Eight hundred taels. He owes our casino eight hundred taels.”
Ye Ziying didn’t waste words. She directly took out a banknote and threw it in front of the Scar-faced Man, “Here’s one thousand taels. Take the money and scram, don’t affect the senior’s mood!”
“Yes, yes, we’re leaving now.”
The Scar-faced Man picked up the banknote and quickly left with his men.
Li Hanzhou watched from the side, his heart bleeding. He only owed eight hundred taels; why didn’t they just take the eight hundred taels?
“Ye Ziying, disciple of the Upper Clarity Sect, pays respects to senior.” Ye Ziying walked over and respectfully bowed to Li Hanzhou.
“Ye Yun pays respects to senior.” Ye Yun also quickly came forward to pay his respects.
This surprised Li Hanzhou.
These two weren’t here to cause trouble. They paid off his gambling debt and were so polite.
Why?
“No need for ceremony,” Li Hanzhou used the Qi Gazing Technique to look at Ye Yun and found that the ominous aura above Ye Yun’s head had completely disappeared.
The ominous aura is gone?
Did someone help them defy fate?
“Thank you, senior, for giving me that Amulet of Warding Off Evil. It saved my whole family’s life. Daddy asked us to come and invite you to the City Lord’s Mansion as a guest. Please let us show our hospitality.” Ye Yun hurriedly said.
“Invite me as a guest?”
Li Hanzhou looked at the two of them and pondered.
Aren’t these two guys going to trick me into the City Lord’s Mansion and break thirty of my ribs when no one’s around?
That’s not right; I only cheated them out of five hundred taels.
But they just repaid a thousand taels of silver for the gambling debt.
That’s not worth it.
Could it be that my Amulet of Warding Off Evil really solved their problems?
“Could it be…” Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but think of some online novels he read out of boredom in his past life. Could it be that he’s an expert, but he doesn’t know it?
Are the talismans I drew actually very powerful?
Am I actually a genius?
While Li Hanzhou was deep in thought, Ye Ziying also looked at Li Hanzhou. She found that she couldn’t sense any trace of True Qi on Li Hanzhou’s body.
She was even more certain that Li Hanzhou was a peerless expert.
Because she had once seen the Old Ancestor of the Upper Clarity Sect at the Upper Clarity Sect. Reaching that level of realm was also unfathomable, completely unable to sense the presence of True Qi.
Has this big shot reached that level?
