After leaving the casino, Luo Lianjiang appeared much more normal.
"Brother Chu, are you bringing the children out here for training this time?"
Chu Yiming said, "I suppose so. I was just passing by and didn't expect to run into you two. Is the Immortal Venerable's Mansion planning to shut down this gambling den?"
Luo Lianjiang didn't intend to hide anything: "Yes, the two of us alone are far from enough. That ape is at the peak of the fifth rank, and there are definitely others behind it, so today is just a test."
"So, are you two really talking?"
Ye Wan asked with a look of curiosity and gossip, her eyes full of anticipation.
Luo Lianjiang's lips twitched, a bitter look settling over them, and he turned to look at Zheng Nansheng.
Zheng Nansheng said, "No, it's all an act."
After entering the gambling den, the two were also given a "warm" welcome.
Perhaps it was because Luo Lianjiang's temperament was too much like a flamboyant butterfly, but he was grabbed by the arm by a charming and alluring woman just two steps into the room.
"Hmm, this young man is quite handsome. Come with me for a bit, will you?"
Luo Lianjiang awkwardly withdrew his hand and politely declined.
To her surprise, this rejection only fueled the woman's interest. She deliberately tugged at her sleeve, revealing her rounded shoulders, and made a move as if to lean against him.
Luo Lianjiang froze, unsure of what to do, before Zheng Nansheng pulled him away.
The woman stumbled, and it seemed she twisted her ankle. She should have fallen onto the open ground, but instead, she turned and knocked over the shelf by the door.
The wooden frame was very heavy, and the sudden movement caused quite a commotion, drawing the attention of almost everyone in the gambling den.
She struggled to her feet, steadied herself, and pointed at Zheng Nansheng's nose, yelling, "You little brat, ruining my good time! What, you want to play with me too?"
Strangely enough, those who liked Luo Lianjiang inexplicably harbored hostility towards Zheng Nansheng.
Even Zheng Nansheng didn't quite understand why.
This woman's provocative expression made her seem like a complete shrew, brainless and easily provoked, and very good at manipulating people's emotions.
It makes people lose their calm judgment.
She doesn't seem to be here to gamble; she seems more like she's here to do business.
Doing business in gambling dens?
Heavy wooden frame...
She was just tentatively leaning on someone, but she twisted her ankle and instead of falling to the ground, she fell onto the shelf.
That shelf was very heavy. Could she, a woman, have easily knocked it over?
If it's not a coincidence, then it was intentional.
Zheng Nansheng laughed and said, "Brother Luo, why don't you answer her?"
Luo Lianjiang then came to his senses, affectionately put his arm around Zheng Nansheng's neck, and said to the woman, "I'm sorry, my family is very strict. Maybe next time."
