Chapter 851 - 68: Alone with Bao Yu’Er

Chapter 851: Chapter 68: Alone with Bao Yu’Er

Yun Le applied her charming magic, fearing that Li Xin would just walk away with the money again, which would dampen half the emotions brought by the guests. If the first three consecutive wins didn’t matter, this time would be completely different.

After all, it’s someone else’s home turf, and Li Xin felt embarrassed to leave with the money, since they still needed to cooperate in the future.

Amidst the gaze of the crowd, Li Xin returned to his table, and at that moment, people noticed that there were three additional people at the table—an unfamiliar young man, and unexpectedly, Liu Zhongyang from Pudu Cloud Hall. Instantly, the whole place erupted; Liu Zhongyang truly came. He was known for enjoying the excitement and appearances, so many people recognized him.

When people learned that the other bald young man was Ku Chan from Celestial Dragon Temple, Jiuxiao Building went into a frenzy—the excitement was akin to the appearance of the Four Beauties of the Divine Land. Men and women have a succubus effect when reaching a certain level.

Cheers from the whole venue erupted, Liu Zhongyang stood up and waved gracefully, even winking at the places with many beauties, exuding charm, while Ku Chan helplessly stood up, pressing his palms together in greeting.

"Brother Ren, impressive, you’ve won this too!" Xiao Yan patted Li Xin on the shoulder, "Well played!"

Liu Zhongyang and Ku Chan exchanged glances, knowing that previously in the Secret Castle, touching Avogadro wasn’t looked kindly upon and didn’t end well.

"Pure luck, pure luck," Li Xin laughed, and the servant girl immediately served wine.

Li Xin didn’t hold back, thinking that even if it wasn’t free, someone else would pay for it.

"Brother Ren, do you remember Fu from the Secret Castle?" Ku Chan asked.

Li Xin looked at the bald young man in front of him, vaguely remembering since this kid did have some skills in the Secret Castle. "Why are you bald?"

Ku Chan smiled faintly, embarrassedly rubbing his head, "Not really bald, it’s the rule of the Celestial Dragon Temple; we all have to shave our heads."

"What kind of absurd rule, not keeping perfectly fine hair," Liu Zhongyang immediately chimed in.

"I don’t know why, anyway, it’s a rule passed down for a thousand years, and the disciples of Celestial Dragon Temple have always adhered to it," Ku Chan said with a bitter smile.

"Cutting off the three thousand troubles to become a single speck of dust, but you guys don’t have the ceremonial scars, not professional," Li Xin said, taking a sip of wine.

Damn, good taste, while this wine wasn’t as good as Ma Liu’s, it had a unique flavor.

"What are ceremonial scars?"

"Your Celestial Dragon Temple should be a branch of Buddhism, don’t you have that practice?" Li Xin was also curious, as he saw an elder from Celestial Dragon Temple last time at Jiuxiao Building.

Ku Chan was stunned, "Buddhism, what is Buddhism?"

This time it was Li Xin’s turn to be stunned, "What do you believe in?"

Liu Zhongyang beside him laughed, "Our Divine Land ancestors are all Dragon Gods, it’s the same with Beijing people, we’re all descendants of Ancient Dragons. We believe in the Heavenly Dao and self-cultivation, with different paths, every sect has its own set of traditions. Like our Pudu Cloud Hall, it’s comparatively freer without so much troublesome stuff."

"Brother Liu, Pudu Cloud Hall is a Profound-level Sect," Ku Chan said softly.

"You bald... cough, cough, Brother Ren, let me explain, actually, the classification of sects by Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow isn’t absolutely related to sect power in the Divine Land. It’s based on the number of sect members, contributions to the Divine Land, and comprehensive scores from each grand competition. It’s a reference but not absolute. For example, our Pudu Cloud Hall possesses the most abundant Spiritual Energy Immortal Mountains in Cyan Dragon City, perfect for cultivation, but we don’t chase after those empty titles as the bald ones do," Liu Zhongyang said.

"Could it just be that they are incapable?" Ku Chan said.

"Ku Chan, I’ve endured you long enough, today let’s settle this life and death!" Liu Zhongyang said sternly.

"Brother Liu, don’t be angry, we’re all friends, fighting and killing isn’t good," Ku Chan quickly advised, "and moreover, you can’t beat me."

Liu Zhongyang’s eyes went green, about to draw his sword, Li Xin swiftly restrained him, "Gentlemen, have a drink and eat something, this isn’t our place, let’s not cause trouble."

"Little bald donkey, if it weren’t for Brother Ren’s sake, I’d chop off your head!" Liu Zhongyang said angrily, "Brother Ren, have you considered which sect to join? It’s more convenient to join a sect in the Divine Land."

Instantly the table fell silent, and both Ku Chan and Liu Zhongyang stared at Li Xin.

Li Xin chuckled softly, "I still need to observe."

At this moment, Yun Yu arrived at the table, "Senior Brother Ren, our Young Sect Master invites you upstairs for a chat, if it’s convenient."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ku Chan, Senior Brother Liu," Yun Yu bowed respectfully.

"Sister Yun Yu, long time no see. What does Fairy Yu’Er wish to discuss with Brother Ren?" Liu Zhongyang asked with a hint of tension.

Yun Yu smiled sweetly, "Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Ren is today’s winner; he was the winner last time too, so of course he has an opportunity to speak with the elder."

"Is it to receive my winnings?" Li Xin asked.

"Yes," Yun Yu replied.

"Alright, Brother Xiao, gentlemen, I’ll be back shortly," Li Xin said.

Watching Li Xin follow Yun Yu upstairs, the audience showed envious expressions; having the opportunity to chat privately with Bao Yu’Er was quite rare. Given Ren Yanli’s performance today, he might even get a glimpse of Bao Yu’Er’s true appearance.

Li Xin followed Gu Yu to the top floor of the Jiuxiao Building, where the view was exceptionally beautiful, "Senior Brother Ren, you can go in yourself, I’ll wait outside."

Liu Zhongyang and Ku Chan exchanged helpless glances; in terms of competition, Jiuxiao Sect indeed had a natural advantage. The Enchantress Sect always attracted top talents, and Jiuxiao Sect wasn’t like those outside that drained people dry upon meeting. If that were the case, they could never reach the Earth-level Sect status. Most of the time, it was dual cultivation and harmony, managing the balance, benefiting both parties greatly. Becoming a member of Jiuxiao Sect meant not only having a beauty by one’s side but also access to Divine Land’s top-tier cultivation resources.

If Bao Yu’Er took a liking to Ren Yanli, wouldn’t that be an end?

Li Xin pushed open the half-closed carved wooden door, a faint fragrance wafted in, refreshing the mind, lifting the spirits. Inside, sandalwood curls up softly, the light softened and warmed by pale blue window curtains, the room simply and cleanly furnished, nothing opulent as imagined.

The woman by the window turned around, her cool voice sounded, "Brother Ren, please sit, as per tradition, I should invite you up."

"Young Sect Master is too kind, the prize can be collected anywhere," Li Xin replied, sitting down with a smile, examining Bao Yu’Er.

Though wearing a veil, her figure and demeanor alone were enough to make a man’s heart itch, and the less seen, the more imagination runs wild, being alone with the leader of Jiuxiao Building’s seductresses, just thinking about it was thrilling.

"Brother Ren, do you have any particular purpose in coming to the Divine Land this time?" Bao Yu’Er inquired.

Thinking it should feel like a leisurely chat, Li Xin thought he could also charm people, but Bao Yu’Er’s attitude was quite cold.
