Chapter 222 Nine out of ten bets are lost!
This kind of thing is no longer uncommon in gambling houses.
Not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, and land deeds, there are many people who even mortgage their wives and daughters.
"Boss, the spirit stones are here!"
Zhang Manguan threw the spirit stone to Duan Tian, "We're even now. If you want to redeem this token, come to me with a thousand spirit stones."
Without waiting for Duan Tian to speak, Zhang Manguan turned around and left with the token.
The steward immediately followed him out and asked cautiously, "Boss, that's a full 100 spirit stones. Are we just going to give it away so easily?"
He won't be able to earn a hundred spirit stones in his lifetime!
Perhaps one hundred spirit stones are nothing to a cultivator, but to a mortal, it is a huge sum of money!
It’s enough to buy a house in this city and a few wives and concubines!
Zhang Manguan curled his lips into a cold smile, as if he had everything under control. "What will those gamblers in the gambling house do once they have enough money?"
The manager was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he suddenly realized, "Of course, it's another bet..."
Even though the spirit stone fell into the hands of the drunkard, in the gambling house, which gambler is not stuck in the quagmire and loses everything nine times out of ten?
It won't take long.
These spirit stones will be returned to them with interest!
The steward immediately gave a thumbs-up and flattered him, "As expected of the boss, that's brilliant!"
Zhang Manguan took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, right, send two smart guys to follow that drunkard. I suspect he has something valuable on him!"
"Boss, why don't you just do it quickly..." The manager's words were not yet finished, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Foolish thing! Do you really think everyone in the world is blind?" Zhang Manguan interrupted the steward, his tone filled with disdain and anger. "That drunkard hangs around here day and night, and just today he got a few spirit stones, and then he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Do you think others can't figure out the connection between them?"
Upon hearing this, the steward nodded and bowed hurriedly, with a look of panic on his face.
"Be more careful." Zhang Manguan snorted coldly, and disappeared behind the door without hesitation without looking back.
At this moment, inside the gambling house, Duan Tian once again tightly grasped a few heavy spirit stones in his hands, and then he ordered his men to quickly buy two pots of fine wine.
After getting the wine, he casually threw the spirit stone on the table, and a arrogant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Haha, I have the money to gamble again. This time, I will make you lose everything and leave nothing behind!"
....
On the other side, Si Lihua had already brought Fu Chen and Su Qing into the city.
Fu Chen looked around and asked, "Big Brother, did Master tell me where he is?"
Si Lihua shook her head, "Master said that once we enter the city, he will naturally find us."
Fu Chen was speechless.
As expected of their master, he is really not reliable at all!
In fact, it is not difficult to find the Master.
The only places where Master is in this city are restaurants and places of romance. If you look for him one by one, you will definitely find him.
"Senior Brother, Sixth Brother, come and have a try." Su Qing was holding three strings of crystal clear candied haws in his hands, and handed one string to each of them with a smile.
Even if you are a monk, you have to learn to relax and enjoy yourself.
This is called combining work and rest!
"I've eaten this before, it's delicious." Fu Chen took a bite and it tasted sour and sweet, exactly the same as he had eaten before.
Si Lihua smiled.
He suddenly felt a little envious of his junior sister.
It would be great if it could always be like this in the future...
"Junior sister, look here!" Fu Chen found a stall with many strange and weird gadgets on it.
Si Lihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Have you two forgotten that we still have important things to do?"
"Big Brother, stop messing around." Fu Chen said vaguely, "Master, can you also have something serious to do?"
Si Lihua was choked speechless.
Although this statement was a bit too direct, if one thinks about it carefully, they have been the ones taking care of their master ever since they joined Zizhu Peak.
Whether it is cultivation or other aspects.
They handle it themselves!
But even so.
Si Lihua never regretted joining Zizhu Peak, nor did she think about going to other main peaks!
"Let's find Master and play first."
Fu Chen and Su Qing agreed repeatedly, and both of them enjoyed the meal very much.
Fu Chen was asked by Master to come here.
As for Su Qing, she was just joining in the fun...
"I want this, and this, and this, I want all of these!" Su Qing collected all the snacks he had bought.
Ke Yue had eaten a lot of his snacks, so he needed to replenish them urgently.
"Girl, taste mine!"
"And mine!"
Su Qing waved her hand gently, smiling gently, "Don't worry, everyone, line up and let's taste them one by one. If they taste good, I'll have them all!"
When the vendors heard this, their eyes lit up green.
But after Su Qing's repeated reminders, they still lined up in order. At this time, everyone stretched their heads, fearing that such a big customer would run away from under their noses.
Fu Chen's mouth was stuffed with food, and his words were a little vague. "If someone is lucky enough to marry our lively and lovely little sister in the future, life will definitely not be boring or dull at all."
Si Lihua was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly an idea came to her mind and she turned her head sharply to look at Fu Chen.
Could it be that Sixth Junior Brother...
No, impossible!
Si Lihua took a breath and tried to calm herself down.
Maybe I'm just thinking too much...
"They're all good, I want them all!" Su Qing was rich and bought all the snacks on the street.
Anyway, what she lacks the least now is spirit stones.
"Junior Sister, you bought so many ordinary foods, I'm afraid it will be bad for you..."
Su Qing's words suddenly cut short Si Lihua's worries. "Big Brother, you must understand that cultivators are also mortals. It's natural for humans to eat grains. If we are still hesitant about trivial matters like these while pursuing the path of immortality, how can we even dream of pursuing the supreme Dao?"
"Timid..." Si Lihua was slightly stunned, as if she had realized something.
At this moment, Fu Chen was eating with gusto. He picked up a golden roasted sweet potato and handed it to Si Lihua, "Big Brother, try this. It's so sweet! It's absolutely delicious!"
Upon hearing this, Si Lihua couldn't help but smile slightly.
When the three brothers and sisters were wandering around.
In the gambling house, Duan Tian stared at the gambling table, his face turning green, "You must have cheated!"
In just a short while, he lost all his one hundred spirit stones?
"Old man, who are you saying is cheating?"
"If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"
Duan Tian was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap all these mortals to death.
"What? You still want to hit us?" The manager's men leaned forward and said, "Come on, hit me! If you dare to lay a finger on me, you won't be able to walk out of here alive today!"
