"The cell repair device has absolutely no effect on him?" Shen Beian didn't understand. The cell repair device here was truly amazing; he had witnessed it firsthand.
Logically speaking, the Weisheng family has spent a lot of money and over twenty years have passed, so why is the young master of Weisheng still so weak?
"Well, who knows?" Sheng Jingchen shook his head. It was indeed a mystery. The usefulness of the cell repair device was self-evident, but it seemed to have no effect on Wei Shengxi at all.
"Speaking of which, do you know about Dengying Tower?" Ye Lin leaned closer and asked mysteriously.
Shen Bei'an, a wealthy and noble man who rarely left his home, naturally had no idea about this.
Sheng Jingchen, however, knew this. "Naturally, it's the largest gambling den in the capital." His eyes flickered slightly.
Only this gambling den can be considered a legitimate gambling den in the capital. In fact, unlike other gambling dens that focus on "entertainment," Dengying Tower is a true den of iniquity!
You can gamble on anything, anything at all.
"A gambling den?!" Shen Bei'an almost exclaimed, but quickly lowered his voice. They usually just played around with each other as friends, but Shen Bei'an had never been to a proper gambling den before.
Among his friends in the First World were many gamblers, some of whom had gambled in all four of the world's largest gambling cities.
But he never went there.
"Hmm." Ye Lin remained calm. She knew it was something she had overheard from some of her spoiled brothers.
"What does this have to do with Dengying Tower?" Sheng Jingchen had been there a few times. The young master of the Sheng family was different from the young master of the Shen family. As long as it wasn't too excessive, it was fine.
As a playboy who indulged in all sorts of pleasures, Sheng Jingchen naturally visited all the major entertainment venues in the capital.
Dengying Tower was one of the places that impressed him the most.
Ye Lin stretched out his hand, and the three of them almost huddled together. "Someone set up a gambling game at Dengying Tower to find out when the young master of the Weisheng family will pass away."
Ye Lin was stunned when he learned about the bet. Although it was said that Dengying Tower had no taboos, betting on something like this was just too heartless.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the other two almost froze, their eyes wide open.
"Who dares to do this! That is the young master of the Weisheng family!" Sheng Jingchen was full of confusion. Although Dengying Tower seemed to be a place without jurisdiction, it was still the capital city after all.
Shen Bei'an remained silent; he was not mentioned in the book, and Dengying Tower was hardly mentioned either.
It seems there's a part where the female lead goes to Dengying Tower, but the book is too long, so naturally he couldn't remember every detail, only some parts that revealed her true identity.
However, they also knew the status of the Weisheng family. They were the only two great medical families in the capital, and were famous not only in the empire but also in the world.
Many powerful and wealthy people sought his medical help.
If the bookmaker dares to gamble with the life and death of the young master of Weisheng, does he have a death wish?
Ye Lin shook his head, "I don't know. Young Master Wei Sheng is currently twenty-three years old, and there are bets over there for people aged twenty-five to thirty."
Not a single person over the age of thirty went to gamble.
In other words, almost everyone believed that the young master of the Weisheng family would not live past thirty.
"Then, do you know who the master behind Dengying Tower is?" Shen Bei'an felt that Wei Shengxi didn't have many years left to live after hearing this.
Sheng Jingchen leaned back in his chair, picked up a cup of warm wine, and said, “No one knows that Dengying Tower used to be a brothel. Later, it was taken over by someone and turned into a gambling den. Some people went there to cause trouble, but they ended up in a terrible state. Moreover, you have to be a member to get in, and some gambling games require you to sign an agreement.”
Like Death Valley, it is considered a gray area in Beijing.
But ironically, quite a few people actually enjoy going in to have fun.
"Could it be that... someone died?" Shen Bei asked hesitantly.
Sheng Jingchen replied as before, "I don't know, I haven't been to that place many times either." He lowered his eyes slightly.
To be honest, it was a few of his cronies who invited him to this event. He only went once or twice without any problems. He wasn't a gambler, and after a few small bets, he neither won nor lost.
Who knew that after the third visit, when he returned home, his elder brother had somehow found out about the matter.
He never bothered his elders. He was whipped more than a dozen times in his elder brother's study. After returning to his room, he knelt in front of the family precepts and copied them a hundred times each with a hard pen and a soft pen. He never set foot in that place again after that.
Shen Bei'an looked at Ye Lin, who also shook his head, "I've never been there either, I've only heard a few of my...纨绔 (playboy) brothers mention it."
Those kinds of places are not places that people like them can come and go as they please.
Shen Bei'an rubbed the medicinal pill on his wrist. "If I go and take a look, what should I do?" He suddenly became interested in that place.
Sheng Jingchen lifted his eyelids and looked at him, "It's nothing, you can't even get through that door."
In which of these places hasn't his older cousin given him a warning?
Unless his older cousin is also there, let alone letting Master Shen in, his reputation probably won't even reach Shen Bei'an's ears.
Shen Beian's mind worked quickly, and he understood in an instant.
"Understood."
The case is solved; there are only two possibilities.
One was because he was the fifth master of the Shen family, and the other was because he was Gu Nanyan's husband.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I was just saying it to pass the time with you guys. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you or me, so just take it as a joke," Ye Lin waved his hand and said.
“Not bad.” Sheng Jingchen took a sip of warm wine, nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He looked to the side, and everyone in the room held their breath and gasped. “Young Master Weisheng has arrived.” They also lowered their voices.
Shen Bei'an followed his gaze and couldn't help but hold his breath.
The young man was slender, dressed in a light blue double-sided Tang-style embroidered crane-patterned wide-sleeved brocade robe, and a colorful brocade cloak with lotus patterns. He had a jade beaded belt around his waist, and his silver hair was half loose, while the other half was tied up with a jade crown. His devilishly handsome face was hidden by the fur collar of his sable coat. His narrow, fox-like eyes were like flowing spring water, full of charm. His nose was straight and upright, like a distant, dark blue mountain. His lips were full but somewhat pale. He was also holding a delicate little hand warmer in his hands.
Her temperament is as elegant as an orchid and as gentle as jade.
At first glance—stunning
A second glance—puzzling
It's the hottest time of the year right now, and it's hot even at night.
Although the building was air-conditioned, most of the guests were dressed in light clothing.
This extremely alluring young master of Weisheng was also wearing a fur coat and holding a hand warmer, which was truly puzzling.
Fu Muqian had already gone to greet them, and from their perspective, the two young masters were chatting and laughing.
Although the two are only two or three years apart in age, Wei Shengxi appears much more delicate and petite compared to Fu Muqian's tall and robust physique.
"A gentleman of noble character is like jade being cut and polished, like stone being carved and refined."
“The piled stones are like jade, the rows of pines are like emerald green, and Lang’s beauty is unparalleled, unmatched in the world.”
Sheng Jingchen and Ye Lin came one after the other.
It took a long time for everyone to come to their senses.
Shen Bei'an turned around stiffly, "This person is ranked alongside me as one of the two most outstanding talents in the capital? Aren't you giving me too much credit?"
If it weren't for the large number of people present, Shen Bei'an would have almost screamed.
This isn't human!
He's practically an immortal!
She's absolutely gorgeous!
No adjective can compare to it.
“So there’s one more thing,” Ye Lin said, his eyes full of admiration, “between the moonlight and the snow, Xi is the third most beautiful woman in the capital.”
