Chapter 167: Is This Little Junior Sister? Now There's an Extra Little Junior Uncle!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but look outside the tavern.
At that moment.
He saw Brother Sikong Changfeng standing outside the tavern, travel-worn and weary, with Tang Lian, Wuxin, and others following behind him.
And Brother Sikong Changfeng was looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
Jiang Chen instantly knew that Brother Sikong Changfeng had not only encountered danger, but had also used up the pill he had given him.
However.
Jiang Chen did not focus his attention on Brother Sikong Changfeng at this moment.
Instead, his gaze fell on a girl beside Brother Sikong Changfeng; the girl looked young, probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Daughter, why have you come to Fancheng to play?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng led the group into the tavern, looking at Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo with a face full of curiosity.
Although he had many questions he wanted to ask Jiang Chen at this moment, he also knew that with so many people present, it wasn't quite appropriate.
And when the waiter saw Brother Sikong Changfeng come in.
He shuddered again, then hurriedly arranged another table for Brother Sikong Changfeng and the others.
There was no choice.
Jiang Chen's side was clearly already full.
"Daddy."
Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo said excitedly to Brother Sikong Changfeng: "Little Junior Brother and Elder Yin Yin Luoxia are preparing to open a gambling house in Snow Moon City; we're choosing the location right now."
Pfft!
Hearing his daughter's words.
Brother Sikong Changfeng couldn't hold back and sprayed the wine he had just drunk from his mouth.
Lei Lei Wujie, sitting across from him, immediately looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng with an innocent face.
"Open a gambling house?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen and Yin Yin Luoxia: "In Snow Moon City?"
Yin Yin Luoxia said nothing, but looked at Jiang Chen.
"That's right."
Jiang Chen looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng with a smile: "Third City Lord, what do you think of the location across from this tavern?"
"You've already chosen the location?"
Brother Sikong Changfeng was stunned again, and sighed helplessly: "Opening a gambling house requires no small amount of silver; aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"
"Money is not a problem."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "If Snow Moon City won't put up this money, then I'll pay for it myself."
"Do you have that much money?" Brother Sikong Changfeng asked curiously.
When Jiang Chen had followed Li Li Hanyi to Snow Moon City back then, he knew — Jiang Chen had come alone, without even a weapon.
However.
Jiang Chen countered with a smile: "Third City Lord, how much do you think that pill is worth?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words.
Brother Sikong Changfeng immediately looked deeply at Jiang Chen.
He knew.
Since Jiang Chen had asked this way, it meant he had also guessed that Brother Sikong Changfeng had taken the pill.
Brother Sikong Changfeng felt he was increasingly unable to read Jiang Chen.
"How much silver is needed."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "Three million taels of silver."
"What?!"
Brother Sikong Changfeng was so startled he stood straight up from his seat: "Building a gambling house requires three million taels of silver?!"
He was truly shocked.
And Yin Yin Luoxia, Tian Nvrui, and the others also looked at Jiang Chen in utter astonishment.
They clearly hadn't expected Jiang Chen to spend three million taels to build a gambling house.
One must know that when Snow Moon City built this Dengtiange, it had only cost eight hundred thousand taels.
And a place like Meirenzhuang in Sangucheng, which was both a gambling house and a brothel, had only cost two or three hundred thousand taels of silver to build back then.
"Since we've decided to open one, naturally we must open the finest gambling house under heaven."
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Otherwise, how could it live up to Snow Moon City's title as the foremost martial arts city under heaven?"
As for Brother Sikong Changfeng.
Jiang Chen also understood him somewhat — the reason Brother Sikong Changfeng personally managed Snow Moon City was actually to preserve the honor of being the foremost city under heaven.
So Jiang Chen believed Brother Sikong Changfeng would agree.
Sure enough.
Brother Sikong Changfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly and said: "Agreed."
As the Third City Lord of Snow Moon City, he certainly knew that if this gambling house truly succeeded, it would inevitably greatly enhance Snow Moon City's reputation.
"In that case, Third City Lord, you'll have to give this money to Elder Yin Yin Luoxia tomorrow."
