Chapter 230

"If you lose, that Miss must stay here."

Hearing this, the young lady in white felt extremely displeased, for regardless of winning or losing, she would gain nothing.

However, she still asked, "How do we gamble? Am I gambling with you?"

Zhou Zhou Bapi grinned, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Xuan Yuan San Guang! I know you are right here, come out!"

Xuan Yuan San Guang didn't leave? He is right here?

Hearing this, the young lady in white's willow brows shot up, her temper flared instantly, and her gaze swept around.

Xuan Yuan San Guang, in the corner, immediately tried to slip away.

Zhou Zhou Bapi added, "Xuan Yuan San Guang, if you dare to run, you can forget about ever stepping another half-step into the gambling house!"

Xuan Yuan San Guang's forward-charging figure suddenly stopped.

"Xuan Yuan San Guang, aren't you addicted to gambling like life itself? Come over, I'll let you gamble a match. As long as you win, not only will all debts owed be wiped clean, but from now on, if you gamble and lose money, I will cover it all for you!"

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan San Guang's single eye gleamed; without a second thought, he twisted around and squeezed his way out through the crowd.

"Boss Zhou! Boss Zhou! I heard your words, and I have come out. A gentleman's word is as good as four horses; you must keep your promise." Xuan Yuan San Guang, wearing a smiling face, approached Zhou Zhou Bapi.

The young lady in white could no longer sit still; pointing at Xuan Yuan San Guang, she scolded, "You ungrateful scoundrel! You actually dare to sell out this Young Lady; I will never forgive you!"

Xuan Yuan San Guang felt somewhat embarrassed; he turned sideways, refusing to look at the young lady in white, and pretended not to hear.

The young lady in white grew even angrier.

Zhou Zhou Bapi patted Xuan Yuan San Guang's shoulder and said, "Rest assured, I, Zhou, have always kept my word like a mountain; I would never go back on my promise."

"That's good! That's good!" Xuan Yuan San Guang was overjoyed.

Although he didn't know which string in Zhou Zhou Bapi's brain had gone wrong today, since gambling was possible and there were benefits, he was too lazy to think too much about it.

The young lady in white also understood the situation now: "You want me to gamble with him?"

Zhou Zhou Bapi nodded, smiling as he said, "Since this matter arose from the grudge between the two of you, then let you two resolve it yourselves."

The young lady in white, who had just wanted to teach Xuan Yuan San Guang a lesson, instinctively wanted to agree upon hearing this.

However, before the words left her mouth, she swallowed them back, looking troubled: "But... I don't know how to gamble."

Although she was innocent and simple, she was by no means a complete fool.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never played this; how could she possibly be a match for an old gambling ghost?

Just then, a voice from the crowd said, "I will gamble for you!"

255 Such a beautiful sister surely wouldn't lie and deceive people, right?

This shout was extremely abrupt, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

They were greatly surprised in their hearts; what kind of person actually dared to interrupt at this moment to meddle in Zhou Zhou Bapi's business?

Jiang Sishui strolled out; before he could get close, several bouncers guarding the venue blocked his path, their eyes unfriendly, carrying undisguised threats.

"Back off!"

A sharp rebuke came; the few men turned their heads, looking at Zhou Zhou Bapi in shock.

Zhou Zhou Bapi said indifferently, "Let him come over."

Only then did the bouncers step aside to let him pass.

Jiang Sishui stepped forward; Zhou Zhou Bapi said, "You want to gamble on her behalf?"

"Exactly, is that not allowed?"

"It is allowed, of course allowed. I have no objection, but does that Miss agree~?"

Jiang Sishui turned his head to look at the young lady in white.

Since Jiang Sishui spoke, the young lady in white's eyes had not left him for a moment.

Seeing his extraordinary appearance and that he seemed to be standing up for her, she already felt a third of her heart warmed towards him.

However, one learns from a fall; after suffering at Xuan Yuan San Guang's hands, she would no longer easily trust a stranger.

Who knew if his "act of bravery" wasn't yet another trap?

What if this person was in league with Zhou Zhou Bapi, deliberately singing a duet to scam her? Wouldn't she then become a huge fool?

Upon this thought, the young lady in white became even more vigilant and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"

"I am just a passerby; seeing a group of grown men bullying a little girl, I dared to step forward rashly."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then do you have confidence in winning?"

"One hundred percent!"

"What?"

"One hundred percent confidence."

"..."

"Miss, you don't believe me?"

The young lady in white naturally didn't quite believe him, but since the other party seemed well-intentioned, she didn't want to say so outright, so she said tactfully, "Are you that confident in your gambling skills?"

"Of course." Jiang Sishui, full of confidence, said, "Because I have already comprehended the highest realm of 'gambling,' so I will forever stand in a position of invincibility."

Hearing him speak so solemnly, not sounding like a fake, the young lady in white's heart also wavered involuntarily.

At this moment, Jiang Sishui added again, "As long as the Miss lets me gamble for her, I guarantee I will help the Miss win this match; if I fail to win..."

"What then?"

"Ren Ping the Miss to dispose of me as she sees fit."

The young lady in white: "..."

Just as she was hesitating, a low whisper suddenly came to her ear: "Trust him; he will not deceive you."

The girl in white turned her head and saw that, at some unknown moment, an absolutely beautiful girl had appeared behind her, smiling at her kindly.

It was Ren Yingying.

"So pretty."

The girl in white blinked, a trace of curiosity in her bright eyes.

She had grown up since childhood holding a "golden key," possessing only the very best of everything, like a favored child of fate.

Even this skin and appearance of hers was heaven chasing after her to feed her a living.

Someone of the same sex like Ren Yingying, whose looks and temperament were in no way inferior to her own, was the very first she had ever seen.

Involuntarily, a thought popped into her mind: "Such a beautiful elder sister surely wouldn't lie to trick me, or deliberately set me up, right?"

The girl in white had already seen Jiang Sishui so confident and had even given his assurance, so her heart had originally been wavering; now, with one sentence from Ren Yingying, it made her completely make up her mind.

She decided on the spot — she would take the gamble!

Letting Jiang Sishui gamble on her behalf was, at the same time, a gamble of her own on human nature.

"Fine then, help me gamble for me. But you absolutely must win, okay?" The girl in white carefully urged once.

Jiang Sishui said composedly: "I will not fail the trust placed in me."

Seeing the two of them finish their discussion, Xuan Yuan San Guang, who had long been unable to hold back at the side, immediately leapt out: "Kid, which path are you from, talking with such a big mouth?"

Sizing up Jiang Sishui with his single eye, Xuan Yuan San Guang's hands itched terribly.

Having gambled for most of his life, he had never yet heard of anyone who could win every gamble they played.

A hundred percent certainty of victory?

Unless it was cheating!

And with him, an "old hand," watching from the side, how could he allow such a thing to happen?

Xuan Yuan San Guang was utterly devout toward the Way of "gambling," and at the same time had his own principles.

So even though he had the ability to cheat, when he gambled, he never used it.

Likewise, he also did not permit others to use it.

Under such fair conditions, if he lost, he would absolutely never refuse to pay up.

No matter how weak the other party was, no matter how great the cost of losing, he would not bully and play the rogue by relying on martial force.

Jiang Sishui saw Xuan Yuan San Guang's scrutinizing gaze and had already guessed what was on his mind, so he said: "Don't worry, I won't cheat in any way."

Please send flowers to the deceased

Xuan Yuan San Guang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Those are your words."

Jiang Sishui said lightly: "They're my words, and everyone present is a witness. I have long since grasped the highest realm of 'gambling' — where would I have any need to resort to those shoddy little tricks?"

The highest realm of "gambling"…

Hearing these six characters for the second time, Xuan Yuan San Guang's single eye blazed with brilliant light.
