Chapter 98

~8 min read 1,466 words

In the gambling den, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Everyone's eyes were on the nine cold iron bowls and Heng Xian.

Today's high-stakes gamble depends on this round!

If Heng Xian wins again, it's three wins, victory!

If Heng Xian loses, the gambling game can continue.

And Heng Xian was silent for a full ten breaths before pointing to one of the bowls: "This one..."

Everyone immediately looked at that bowl.

Opposite, a mischievous smile appeared on Qin Sanniang's face.

Nearby, Ma Buyin and his group also started laughing.

Who knew Heng Xian would say again: "Not it!"

Reaching out to open it, sure enough, that bowl was empty.

The smiles on the faces of Qin Sanniang and Ma Buyin's group disappeared.

The surrounding crowd let out half a breath and then let it go, whispering to each other.

"Continue!" Qin Sanniang gritted her teeth.

Heng Xian pointed to another bowl: "This one isn't it either!"

After opening it, sure enough, it was still empty.

"Continue!" Qin Sanniang clenched her fists.

"Why continue? Once is enough!"

Heng Xian slapped the table with his right hand, and six of the remaining seven iron bowls jumped up, all empty underneath.

Qin Sanniang's face turned pale instantly.

Heng Xian pointed to the last cold iron bowl: "The other eight bowls are all empty, so... the top-quality spirit crystal must be under this bowl, right?"

Qin Sanniang took three steps back, breathing rapidly.

Heng Xian chuckled; in reality, none of the nine had it; that piece of top-quality spirit crystal had already been taken away by Qin Sanniang.

Without using the "Xuanhuang Heavenly Hexagram" to test it, even a ghost wouldn't know where that thing was.

The surrounding crowd let out a "Whoa," and looking at Heng Xian again was like looking at a monster.

Tong Que'er's expression became solemn: "Cultivators below the middle stage of the Primordial Dan Realm probably can't see Qin Sanniang's technique clearly.

Heng Xian probably couldn't see it either; he gambled on all nine bowls being empty, it seems he guessed correctly!"

Bai Ziqi frowned: "All nine bowls were empty?"

Tong Quezi nodded: "First try two bowls, then open six in a row, all six empty, what do you think?"

Bai Ziqi and Liu Qing looked at each other, frowning tightly.

"Five rounds, three wins; I have already won three, so there's no need to continue competing!"

Heng Xian waved his sleeves and looked at Ma Buyin and his group, "What do you think?"

"What do I think? Damn it!" Ma Buyin was annoyed and angry, "You bastard, you are clearly extremely shrewd, yet you play dumb and act the pig to eat the tiger, scamming me!"

Heng Xian was surprised: "Does this count as acting the pig to eat the tiger? I just know how to play! Besides, wasn't it you who came looking for me first?"

"Who cares about that!"

Qin Sanniang, Heizei, and the group's momentum climbed, and they approached with murderous intent.

The surrounding crowd saw this and retreated one after another.

"What do you want to do?"

Ma Xiaohua and Ye Batian also had their momentum climb, blocking in front of Heng Xian.

Both sides had majestic momentum, swords drawn and bows bent!

Heng Xian pulled a long face, pushed Ma Xiaohua and Ye Batian aside, and faced Ma Buyin and his group directly: "Are you sure that since you lost the bet, you want to meet us with blades?

Are you sure that in order to welsh on the bet, you want to fight us to the death in front of so many fellow disciples and elders?

'Heaven Doesn't Care' has not yet escaped the sect's control!

For the sake of spirit crystals, are you willing to have your reputations completely ruined and destroy the sect's rules?

Have you... considered it clearly?"

Heng Xian approached step by step.

Ma Buyin and his group couldn't help but retreat slowly, gripping their spirit weapons tighter and tighter.

Heng Xian stopped, stepped on the table, and sneered: "Don't forget, my master is one of the twelve peak masters. Although she is usually sloppy, when she gets angry...

Ten steps to kill one person, a thousand miles without leaving a trace!

If you lose the bet and welsh, and still want to make a move, I'm afraid you don't want to live, and your primordial spirits will be eternally suppressed after death!"

Ma Buyin and his group finally had their mentality collapse: "Junior Brother Heng! Say no more, we are willing to admit defeat; our spirit crystals and gambling den are all yours!"

Heng Xian waved his sleeves: "I am not a person who pushes others too hard. I want this gambling den!

One million spirit crystals, no need for you to give them directly; help me manage the business from now on, consider it your compensation, how about that?"

Ma Buyin and his group's expressions were uncertain. After a long silence, they finally gritted their teeth and nodded. Being able to save a million is a good thing, they accepted it:

"Fine!"

The surrounding crowd saw this and discussed it heatedly, and with hearts full of emotion, they gradually dispersed!

This Heng Xian has made a name for himself in "Heaven Doesn't Care"!

Tong Quezi took Bai Ziqi, Liu Qing, and others back to Xiaosong Peak on their swords. Halfway there, her expression was indescribably serious: "This Heng Xian is not a thing in a pond! At such a young age, his mind is sharp, his methods are strong, and what he has learned is very eclectic!

And he uses people's psychology and pulls in backers to build momentum, actually making those old oil-slickers like Ma Buyin obedient!

Have you ever seen a sixteen-year-old boy with this ability?"

Bai Ziqi and Liu Qing looked at each other, silent, having nowhere to refute even if they wanted to.

Tong Quezi sighed: "With this kind of person, it's best not to be his enemy. If you are an enemy, you must use everything to kill him, the sooner the better. If it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress him!"

"Yes!"

"Junior Brother! I am impressed with a capital I!"

"Really, I have nothing to say; we don't have your courage and methods!"

"Low profile! Low profile!"

The three junior brothers and sisters of Heng Xian returned from "Heaven Doesn't Care," chatting as they hurried to Kuliu Peak.

Just as they entered the small courtyard, they saw their master Nangong Liluo, smelling of alcohol, lying in a "big" shape in a pile of trash, having vomited all over the ground next to her.

"First time seeing a Primordial Dan Great Perfection cultivator vomit from alcohol!"

The three looked at each other, helpless, and had to sit outside and wait.

They waited until midnight before Nangong Liluo woke up.

Heng Xian immediately pulled her over and told her his business plans:

The Qianwang Gambling Den in "Heaven Doesn't Care" has been taken, start construction and expansion immediately!

Ma Buyin and the others have too small a pattern and can't make big money.

We are going to build a place that integrates a gambling den, a brothel, a restaurant, and a private trading market!

Let's monopolize the entertainment in "Heaven Doesn't Care" first.

But such a big place can't be covered by ordinary people; we need heavyweight figures as backers!

Nangong Liluo's weight is definitely enough, but one person is not enough; we must add Elder Liu Hanchun of the "Merit Award Hall" to be safe.

This Elder Liu is the direct disciple of the Supreme Elder's junior sister, and in the Tianyuan Sect, her status is very deep!

As long as these two show up and pass on a message: "The place is covered by the two of us," that's enough!

Then, Ma Xiaohua, as the senior brother of Kuliu Peak, will supervise the work himself!

As for the lackeys, use Ma Buyin and his group; with Nangong Liluo and the other pressing down, I'm not afraid they won't listen!

Hearing Heng Xian's plan, Nangong Liluo was incredibly excited: "This is making a fortune, I'm going to find Liu Hanchun right now!"

Half a month later.

The largest entertainment venue in the "Heaven Doesn't Care" canyon, "Xianya Pavilion," opened!

The name was given by Nangong Liluo, it's incredibly tacky!

Heng Xian highly suspects that this is to insult him!

A grand ribbon-cutting ceremony was held that day, and the reputation was spread out.

Next, the four master and apprentices had a clear division of labor: Nangong Liluo patrolled for deterrence, and Ma Xiaohua was in charge of miscellaneous affairs.

Ye Batian was in charge of logistics and copying accounts.

Heng Xian managed the general accounts, and then, played.
