Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"Aren't you still planning on defaulting on your debt?" Shen Yichuan laughed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sharp smile, and said slowly: "Mr. Xu, you still can't afford to lose."

"Yeah, how can you still not keep your word?"

"Forget it, these two kids are still young, let's not make a fuss."

"Whether they drop out of school or not, whether they leave the martial arts hall or not, how can they decide on their own?"

"Let's just go and watch the fun."

"That won't do. You clearly agreed to it at the beginning, but now you're not going to do it anymore. Isn't that breaking your promise? I can give you the money, but you can't withdraw from the course?"

……

Hearing Shen Yichuan's words and the discussions around him, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She really can't afford to lose.

Zhang Yue cannot leave the martial arts hall.

If I leave the martial arts hall, there will be no other way out in the future.

Can……

Xu Yuan turned his eyes slightly to look at Zhang Yue who seemed a little nervous, and then looked at Shen Yichuan.

She saw the smile in Shen Yichuan's eyes.

I also saw Cheng Jie's confidence.

This is a game.

Cheng Jie wanted to humiliate her, while Shen Yichuan wanted to test her.

That being the case...

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I will make the decision for my brother and I will say goodbye to Mr. Wu Tang tomorrow."

After making the wish, Zhang Yue was stunned.

Shen Yichuan paused while fanning himself, his eyes flickering between Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue, and finally said, "Xu Yuan, have you thought it through? Can you make this decision?"

Zhang Yue and Xu Yuan were just young boys.

Not to mention the family's poverty, sending Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue to private school and martial arts hall took the whole family's effort.

A wish was granted so easily... It always makes people feel a little unbelievable.

"Mr. Shen is right. If you lose, you lose. Some people can't afford to lose, but my brother and I can afford to lose."

Xu Yuan turned around, held Zhang Yue's sleeve, and said, "Brother, let's go."

"Make a wish." Zhang Yue hesitated.

He didn't want to leave Wu Tang.

But he also knew that with so many people watching, he couldn't easily go back on his word.

Similarly, he was also afraid that this matter would reach Xu Wenxian's ears and disappoint the whole family's expectations.

He is not as smart as Xuyuan and cannot learn anything.

I finally got into the martial arts hall, and I can be considered to have some talent, but now I have to leave...

For a moment, Zhang Yue felt extremely regretful.

I regret going out today, and even more so being on this stage.

"Brother, no matter what you want to do, I will help you."

Xu Yuan did not look at Zhang Yue, but said to Shen Yichuan: "There are thousands of roads in the world, just like if you want to go to the capital, there are countless roads. If this road is blocked, you should not be timid and take other roads boldly."

If this is the case, there is still no way out.

Then she would pave a way out for Zhang Yue.

"Well said." Shen Yichuan raised his hand and clapped his hands. "Young Master Xu, didn't you say before that you wanted to play another round? I promise you, if you win, Zhang Yue will return to the martial arts hall, and if you lose, you will leave the academy. How about that?"

After hearing what Shen Yichuan said, Zhang Yue's face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "No."

He's seen it all.

To be precise, I have been cheated once.

There were no rare things like dice in Sishui County, so he was lured here.

After understanding the rules, he started to play.

But in just one morning, they made a lot of money. The situation changed after Shen Yichuan and Cheng Jie came.

He keeps losing, and keeps losing.

By the time he realized what was happening, there was no turning back.

He could only continue gambling.

Therefore, Zhang Yue didn't dare let Xu Yuan go gamble.

If he left the martial arts hall, he would at most be beaten when he returned, but if he made a vow to leave the academy, that would put an end to Xu Wenxian's thoughts.

He would rather die than let Xu Yuan leave the school.

"Don't worry, bro."

Xu Yuan held down Zhang Yue's hand that was about to pull her away, and turned back to say, "Mr. Shen, the previous bet was proposed with Cheng Jie. If you want to join this bet, you should also put up your own bet."

"What do you want? Money? Fame? Or profit?" Shen Yichuan asked while paying attention to Xuyuan's expression.

However, Xuyuan showed no expression from beginning to end.

After a long while, Xu Yuan raised her eyes, looked at Shen Yichuan, and said, "I want you to leave Sishui County."

"what?"

"Mr. Shen is a great writer who came from the capital. Sishui County is just a remote corner and does not have the future that Mr. Shen wants. So, if Mr. Shen loses, you should leave Sishui County and go where you should go."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, his eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent: "Mr. Shen, do you dare to bet?"

Shen Yichuan hesitated slightly.

The look in his eyes when he made a wish was too calm.

That calmness revealed too much information.

For example, wish to know who he is.

Or maybe, wish to know why he came.

No matter which one it is, Xuyuan shouldn't know about it.

Here, Shen Yichuan felt like a fish in water and was at ease. Today was the first time for him to do so, and he felt a little scared.

The young man in front of him had cognition and scheming that were clearly inconsistent with his status and age.

Suddenly, Shen Yichuan thought of what Bei Yao had said.

If this person cannot be used for your own purposes, you cannot just leave him alone and let him join someone else's school.

Seeing that Shen Yichuan remained silent for a long time, Xu Yuan urged again: "Mr. Shen, do you dare or not?"

Shen Yichuan came back to his senses, and the alertness on his face was replaced by a smile. He smiled and said, "Of course I don't gamble. As a teacher, I should set a good example."

Hearing Shen Yichuan's words, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still showed no sign of weakness. He looked at Cheng Jie and said, "Cheng Jie, what about you?"

When Cheng Jie heard Xu Yuan calling his name, he subconsciously looked at Shen Yichuan.

However, Shen Yichuan just gently fanned himself without even glancing at her.

Cheng Jie clenched his fist and said, "Let's gamble."

On the side, Zhang Yue frowned slightly and whispered: "Make a wish, don't gamble, forget it..."

"Brother." Xu Yuan interrupted Zhang Yue, "We can't afford to lose, and neither can they."

"well said!"

Cheng Jie slammed the table and looked at Xu Yuan provocatively, "Come on, let's see who can't stand the loss between you and me."

"Come on." Xu Yuan took two or three steps forward, and people on all sides made way for her.

Until the two people stood in front of the table, people around them immediately rushed up like a tide and started a new bet - who would win.

Shen Yichuan stood between the two people and asked, "How do you want to bet?"

"Mr. Shen's gambling method has too many uncertainties. Cheng Jie and I will compete in the simplest one."

Xu Yuan held the dice cup and pushed the other dice cup to Cheng Jie, his tone becoming increasingly cold: "You and I shake the dice at the same time and stop at the same time, and the winner will be determined by the number of dice."

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Shen Yichuan's smile deepened. He saw something, but this time he didn't say much. He just glanced at Cheng Jie and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you think this method is feasible?"

"Okay, that's it. Anyway, I didn't understand the previous bets on big or small."

Cheng Jie picked up the dice cup, looked at Xu Yuan, and sneered, "Xu Yuan, don't default on your debt this time."
