Chapter 133

They seemed to be guessing exactly what kind of relationship Jiang Chen had with the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master.

Being brought into the Flower Piercing Palace was already enough to surprise them, yet now, the two Palace Masters were actually letting Jiang Chen wander around the Embroidered Jade Valley just like that.

Looking at those Flower Piercing Palace disciples, each with such beautiful features.

It had to be said.

Both Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing were indeed people who valued looks.

If they were to let him grade these Flower Piercing Palace disciples, with ten being a perfect score, he reckoned not a single one would be below a six.

After strolling around the Embroidered Jade Valley for a while longer, Jiang Chen finally walked toward the Lake Heart Pavilion.

"Young Master, I won't go over there for now."

Passing by a courtyard, Hua Yuelu said with a smile, "I need to go prepare dinner."

"Mm, then go ahead."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Once it's ready, just send it to the Lake Heart Pavilion."

"Understood."

Hua Yuelu nodded, and after bidding Jiang Chen farewell, she walked toward the courtyard to the side.

By the time Jiang Chen returned to the Lake Heart Pavilion.

He found that Especially Yao Yao Yue and Lianxing were still playing Landlord.

Seeing Jiang Chen, Lianxing immediately said with a smile, "Young Master, you're back."

"Mm."

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, then walked over to sit beside Lianxing and Especially Yao Yao Yue. Glancing at the pile of silver in front of Lianxing, he teased, "It's only been an afternoon, and you're already winning enough to become a little rich woman."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Especially Yao Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai immediately looked dejected.

Both of them had originally thought they had learned the game.

But every time Lianxing became the landlord, she would always use some special tactics.

This left them, playing for the first time.

Completely unable to grasp the pattern of Lianxing's card play.

Seeing the expressions on Especially Yao Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai, how could Jiang Chen not know that Lianxing was using all the experience she had gained recently on the two of them.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen looked at Dongfang Bubai and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How much money does Miss Dongfang owe?"

"Nine hundred taels!"

Dongfang Bubai gave Lianxing a helpless look and said gloomily.

In the span of an afternoon.

She was either borrowing silver or on her way to borrow silver.

"It's fine, just consider it tuition fees."

Jiang Chen said cheerfully, "I opened the largest gambling house in the world in Snow Moon City, and it will be opening in a while. Most of the people going there will be little novices who have never played before; you can go and bully them."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes lit up immediately.

Losing for an entire afternoon.

Had made her realize long ago that this game wasn't just about learning the rules.

Since she couldn't beat Lianxing.

But if she could bully others, that seemed pretty good too!

What's more.

If she hadn't been constantly held back by the affairs of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, she would have wanted to go play in the Beili Dynasty long ago.

As for Especially Yao Yao Yue.

It was the same for her.

Since parting ways at Mount Mount Luolei last time and returning to the Flower Piercing Palace alone.

She had discovered that she would always think of Jiang Chen from time to time, even while cultivating.

This left Especially Yao Yao Yue feeling somewhat at a loss.

Because she knew that, perhaps like her younger sister, she had very likely fallen for Jiang Chen.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai seemed moved.

Jiang Chen struck while the iron was hot, "Especially Yao Yao Yue has been to Snow Moon City once, so if you ever want to go, Miss Dongfang, you can have Especially Yao Yao Yue take you with her."

"That's right."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Especially Yao Yao Yue didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Dongfang, whenever you want to go to Snow Moon City, just come to the Flower Piercing Palace to find me."

But as soon as she finished speaking.

She noticed Lianxing looking at her with a smile, even winking at her.

Seeing that her thoughts had been seen through by Lianxing.

Especially Yao Yao Yue blushed slightly.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Chen.

Seeing that he didn't show any signs of abnormality, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Alright."

Dongfang Bubai smiled, "Then once I've finished dealing with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, we'll go to Snow Moon City together."

After saying this.

She looked at Lianxing and asked with a smile, "Lianxing, are you coming too?"

"Ah?"

Lianxing was stunned, then giggled, "Sister Dongfang, I forgot to tell you earlier, I'm already living in Snow Moon City. I'll be heading back with the Young Master in two days."

Hearing Lianxing's words.

Dongfang Bubai was stunned.

She had always thought.

That the reason Lianxing returned later than Especially Yao Yao Yue was because she had to stay in Snow Moon City for treatment, and that Jiang Chen following Lianxing to the Flower Piercing Palace was just a young man wandering the Jianghu.

But now.

Lianxing was telling her that she was already living in Snow Moon City long-term?!

"Then you and Young Master Jiang..."

Dongfang Bubai looked at Lianxing in disbelief.

When she first met Lianxing and Jiang Chen outside the Embroidered Jade Valley, she thought Jiang Chen and Lianxing were in a romantic relationship.

And when she learned that Jiang Chen was the divine doctor who had cured Lianxing.

She felt there shouldn't be anything between them, just a simple doctor-patient relationship.

Then came everything that happened in the Red Chamber Dream Hall.

According to a woman's intuition.

Dongfang Bubai felt there must be some story between Jiang Chen and Especially Yao Yao Yue.

However, now.

Lianxing was suddenly telling her that in two days, she would be returning to Snow Moon City with Jiang Chen!

"What is Miss Dongfang trying to ask?"

Jiang Chen took Lianxing's hand and looked at Dongfang Bubai with a smile.

Watching Jiang Chen's actions, Dongfang Bubai swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Did she even need to ask?

She subconsciously looked at Especially Yao Yao Yue.
