Chapter 231

Gambling was the love of his life; to him, the answer to what the highest realm of "gambling" was mattered more than anything else.

Including his own life!

Xuan Yuan San Guang felt an intense itch in his heart, eager to challenge Jiang Sishui and see if he was just boasting.

If he wasn't, that would be best; he would finally get to witness the so-called highest realm of "gambling."

Even if he lost because of it, he would accept it with joy.

Xuan Yuan San Guang looked at Zhou Zhou Bapi, waiting for his command to begin the gamble.

However, when he turned his head, he found Zhou Zhou Bapi was gone, with only a few thugs remaining to guard the venue.

Xuan Yuan San Guang was stunned: "Where is Boss Zhou?"

"Our boss went inside to drink tea; he doesn't want to see the process, only the result. Old man, make sure you've handled things for our boss, or you'll be in big trouble!" one of the thugs warned.

Zhou Zhou Bapi left?

Just as the gamble was about to start, the person who proposed it actually left?

Could it be that he's seriously ill?

Xuan Yuan San Guang looked utterly confused.

He felt Zhou Zhou Bapi must have taken the wrong medicine today.

At that moment, two thugs carried a table and two chairs out of the gambling house, with a dice cup and three dice placed on the table.

As soon as Xuan Yuan San Guang saw the gambling tools, his entire focus shifted to them, and he had no patience to think about anything else.

He eagerly shouted, "Come on, come on! Tell me, what shall we gamble on?"

Jiang Sishui stepped forward and took a seat, saying, "Let's gamble on the simplest thing: compare sizes, three rounds."

"Good!" Xuan Yuan San Guang had just finished inspecting the gambling tools and confirmed there were no issues.

Having spent years in gambling dens, he certainly had the eye for such things.

"Then let's begin. You go first, or me?" Xuan Yuan San Guang urged.

256 Raise the stakes, play big: Zhu Qiqi, the favorite of fate.

Jiang Sishui stopped him: "Not yet."

Xuan Yuan San Guang frowned deeply, displeased: "You brat, why are you so indecisive!"

Jiang Sishui smiled slightly: "Don't rush; I just feel that gambling like this lacks something."

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

"How about we add ourselves to the bet?"

"What do you mean?"

"Though we are opponents, we are both gambling on behalf of others, which is truly boring. So, why not have a gamble between us ourselves as well!"

Xuan Yuan San Guang understood: "You want to raise the stakes?"

Jiang Sishui nodded.

"Great!" Xuan Yuan San Guang showed no fear.

To him, the higher the stakes, the more thrilling; naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

"Speak, what do you want to gamble on?"

Jiang Sishui's gaze shifted downward, landing on Xuan Yuan San Guang's right hand as he played with the gambling tools, and he said slowly: "First, 'three nine seven' for a right hand."

Xuan Yuan San Guang's hand froze; his smile faded slightly, and his single eye narrowed as he looked at Jiang Sishui, his gaze flickering.

Although he was somewhat thick-skinned, if he didn't realize something was wrong at this moment, he would be a complete fool.

Originally, he thought Jiang Sishui had stepped in because he found the girl in white beautiful and wanted to win her favor.

But now, Jiang Sishui was playing this big... this was clearly aimed at him.

At the same time, the onlookers murmured in low voices.

However, although they were startled, their reactions were not too intense; after all, there were many examples of gamblers losing a hand, so it wasn't shocking.

But the girl in white had never seen such a scene.

As soon as she heard Jiang Sishui wanted to gamble a hand, she panicked immediately: "Hey, what are you doing? Everything was fine, why add a hand? Do you know how dangerous this is?!"

Seeing the girl in white at a loss, Jiang Sishui smiled: "I'm raising the stakes with a hand; shouldn't that make you feel more at ease?"

The girl in white was stunned.

"Rest assured, I will definitely win this round. Your freedom and my right hand will not be lost."

Saying this, Jiang Sishui gave Ren Yingying a subtle glance.

Ren Yingying understood and pulled the still-dazed girl in white back.

Jiang Sishui turned to look at Xuan Yuan San Guang, his calm tone hiding a provocation: "What? Afraid?"

The two stared at each other for a long moment; suddenly, Xuan Yuan San Guang grinned widely and shouted loudly: "You don't need to provoke me; I'll gamble with you!"

Jiang Sishui nodded slightly: "You go first, or me?"

Xuan Yuan San Guang pushed the gambling tools forward: "You go first!"

Jiang Sishui took the gambling tools.

To everyone's surprise, he didn't display any earth-shattering, supreme gambling techniques; instead, like a novice, he threw the three dice into the dice cup, shook them casually twice, and stopped.

Xuan Yuan San Guang had been watching Jiang Sishui's movements closely; detecting no fluctuation of Qi, he relaxed, then immediately frowned again, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

However, he didn't dare to underestimate him.

This brat voluntarily raised the stakes and even claimed to have comprehended the highest realm of "gambling."

Although it was likely just boasting, daring to make such a bold claim meant he was certainly no ordinary person.

However, just as he was thinking this, the next moment Xuan Yuan San Guang was dumbfounded.

He saw Jiang Sishui decisively lift the dice cup; the onlookers fixed their gaze and couldn't help but feel bewildered.

One, two, four; a total of seven points.

Isn't this a bit too small?!

Not to mention the onlookers, even Xuan Yuan San Guang, the party directly involved, looked utterly bewildered.

Wait, that's it?

With such meager skill, you dare to gamble with me? And you even raised the stakes to a hand?!

Xuan Yuan San Guang couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Sishui had a problem with his brain.

A total of only seven points; while not an inevitable loss, the chances of winning were pitifully slim.

Is this the highest realm of "gambling"?

It's simply laughable!

The white-robed maiden, who had been anxiously watching the situation, paled and turned to look at Ren Yingying: "He... how... how..."

Seeing her so flustered she couldn't even speak properly, Ren Yingying couldn't help but smile, then leaned close and whispered softly:

"The diary copy..."

Hearing those four words, the white-robed maiden's eyes widened in shock, her face full of astonishment: "You... you... you also..."

After a moment of realization, she suddenly looked toward Jiang Sishui: "He... is he... is it him?!"

Ren Yingying nodded her jade-like head slightly and whispered quietly: "You should feel at ease now, right? Do you think he is the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"

The white-robed maiden took a deep breath, her heart greatly settled.

Just as Ren Yingying said, Jiang Sishui was no one to be trifled with; he was always the one bullying others, never the one being taken advantage of.

Since this fellow wasn't anxious, why was she worrying for no reason?

Thinking of this, the white-robed maiden felt relieved...

No longer worried, her focus immediately shifted: "Hey, what is your name?"

"Ren Yingying."

"Ren Yingying? The Holy Maiden of the Sun and Moon Divine Cult?"

Ren Yingying nodded and asked in return: "And you?"

The white-robed maiden smiled sweetly: "My name is Zhu Qiqi!"

Zhu Qiqi?

A hint of surprise appeared on Ren Yingying's face.

Zhu Qiqi, isn't she the heroine of Wu Lin Wai Shi?

Raised with a "golden spoon," showered with countless favors, she lived just like a "little Princess."

Moreover, in the story, she stole Bai Feifei's man, making the two mortal enemies.
