Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Bai Yun Lan replied happily, "Alright!"

Yan Jie turned and left the gambling table, while that dark and thin man merely glanced at him indifferently, not saying anything more, and then continued speaking to Bai Yun Lan: "Young Master, since you are already prepared, then I'm starting!"

After Yan Jie came out of the Hong Yun Casino, he was frantic with anxiety; he immediately shouted, "Shisan!" His voice wasn't too loud, not attracting attention, yet Shisan could hear it.

Upon hearing Yan Jie's shout, Shisan flashed out. Seeing Shisan, Yan Jie hurriedly instructed: "Go tell my Elder Sister quickly, Bai Second Brother is at the Hong Yun Casino right now, I can't persuade him no matter what! Have Elder Sister come help immediately, it must be fast!"

Shisan didn't say another word, acknowledged with a sound, and immediately executed his lightness skill, his figure like a ghost, racing toward An Wangfu.

Yan Jie watched Shisan's departing figure, his heart settling slightly.

But he still paced circles anxiously at the casino entrance, racking his brains on how to persuade Bai Yun Lan to leave the casino.

He worried Bai Yun Lan would lose too much, but truly couldn't think of any good plan, only able to fret helplessly at the entrance.

Simultaneously, inside An Wangfu all was peaceful. Qianqian was tidying her things in an orderly fashion, while Wei Shengsheng beside her sat leisurely by the table, gnawing an apple with her legs crossed, looking completely unconcerned.

Wei Shengsheng persisted with ulterior motives, continuing to prattle endlessly about the various benefits of Shenyi Gu, trying to persuade Qianqian to go live at Shenyi Gu long-term.

Qianqian seemed uninterested in this, only occasionally perfunctorily responding to her, her mind entirely on packing.

Just then, a "whoosh" sounded, and Shisan flashed into the room like lightning.

Wei Shengsheng was startled by this sudden change; she instantly leapt up like a frightened rabbit, assuming a defensive posture, warily staring at Shisan, and cried out in a delicate voice: "Who are you?"

Qianqian turned at the sound, saw Shisan kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Second Aunt, don't be tense, this is one of ours."

Only then did Wei Shengsheng slowly sit back on the chair; her bottom had just touched the seat surface, not yet steady, when Shisan at her side impatiently spoke: "Fifth Miss, it's bad! Sixth Young Master and Bai Second Young Master went to the Hong Yun Casino, Bai Second Young Master refuses to come out dead or alive, Sixth Young Master truly has no way out, so he sent this subordinate to request Fifth Miss to go help."

"What?!" Wei Shengsheng, as if a needle pricked her bottom, "sprang" up from the chair again; she stared wide-eyed, face full of disbelief, her sharp voice nearly piercing the roof, "Who did you say is in the casino refusing to leave?"

Shisan trembled all over from her sudden shout, but still replied trembling: "It... it is Bai Second Young Master."

Wei Qianqian heard this and only felt her head "buzz" with a sound, as if countless bees were buzzing chaotically inside, a bout of dizziness nearly making her faint. She forced herself to stay upright, cursing: "This little bastard, he actually learned to gamble! Watch me not twist his head off and kick it like a ball today!"

After cursing, Wei Shengsheng didn't say another word, circulated her lightness skill, and like a bolt of lightning raced toward her own room.

Seeing this, Wei Qianqian couldn't help a headache; she rubbed her temples and said helplessly to Shisan: "I know, lead the way."

Finished speaking, Shisan also didn't dare delay, immediately executing lightness skill and sprinting toward the Hong Yun Casino, Wei Qianqian following tightly behind him.

And at this time Wei Shengsheng swiftly returned to her own courtyard.

She slowly stretched out her hand, gripping the hilt of that Huan Yue Liu Guang Dao.

This saber was half a head taller than Wei Shengsheng herself; the blade was long and sharp, as if it could easily tear the air. The gems embedded on the spine were tightly connected together, like limpid moonlight, emitting a faint cold light, hence the name "Huan Yue Liu Guang Dao".

Don't be fooled by this saber's elegant-sounding name; its weight is not light at all, a full thirty jin! For an ordinary woman, such weight is truly somewhat heavy.

However, for Wei Shengsheng, this saber was nothing more suitable. Because what she was going to do today was no easy matter, but to clean up the family, to chop off that rebellious son's head and kick it like a ball.

Normally, Wei Shengsheng usually used a sword, because the sword's lightness and handiness allowed her to execute sword techniques more nimbly.

But today, she unhesitatingly chose this big saber, clearly having made up her mind to give that rebellious son a ruthless lesson.

Wei Shengsheng gripped the hilt tightly, feeling that heavy weight, as if it had already become part of her body. She took a deep breath, then abruptly lifted the big saber and walked toward the Hong Yun Casino.

Just as she reached the entrance, Wei Shengsheng suddenly realized a problem — she didn't know the way to the Hong Yun Casino. What to do? She thought slightly, then had an idea.

She quickly walked to the An Wangfu gate guards, casually hoisted up one guard as easily as lifting a chick.

"Hey, take me to the Hong Yun Casino!" Wei Shengsheng commanded.

That guard was scared trembling all over, not daring a word of nonsense, hurriedly nodding and bowing as he was carried by Wei Shengsheng flying toward the Hong Yun Casino.

Simultaneously, inside the Hong Yun Casino, Yan Jie had already returned to the table, staring at Bai Yun Lan. And Bai Yun Lan's luck seemed quite good; at the start he won three rounds in a row, making everyone around look at him with new eyes.

However, unexpectedly, in the next round he actually lost everything! This caught him off guard, but he didn't lose heart, instead firmly believing that as long as there was one more round, he would definitely win it back.

So he unhesitatingly fished out a silver note from his bosom; that dark thin man saw this and his eyes instantly flashed with a bright light.

Just like that, one round after another, Bai Yun Lan's luck seemed to have completely vanished; he never won even once again.

Not only that, he had already lost a full five hundred taels of silver! Seeing this, Yan Jie initially kept persuading him: "Losing a bit less doesn't matter, let's hurry and go."

But Bai Yun Lan was full of confidence in himself; he firmly believed the next hand would definitely turn the tables and win back the lost money.

No matter how Yan Jie earnestly persuaded, he turned a deaf ear, even feeling Yan Jie was hindering him from winning money.

Yan Jie's lips were nearly worn through, yet he still couldn't stop Bai Yun Lan from continuing to gamble. Watching Bai Yun Lan lose those five hundred taels cleanly, he actually fished out his last three hundred taels, preparing to stake it all!
