Crossing the Sword

"You...you..." Susano was very dissatisfied when he saw Ye Shisan's move of annihilation, but he had nothing to say. He kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't make any sense. To say that annihilation is not a clever move, as long as the internal strength reaches a certain level and the control is a little better, it can be easily done.

Generally speaking, no one would use such a low-skilled trick at the gambling table, which basically means total defeat. Shattering all of them indiscriminately is much simpler than just shattering one or two dice. But in order to win, Susano emphasized that shattering the dice also counts, and the Black Emperor nodded in agreement. If he now says that Ye Shisan is playing tricks, he will not only slap himself, but also slap the Black Emperor hard! Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to act so rashly, so he could only lose his teeth and swallow his blood.

Black Emperor wanted to help Susano create some trouble for Ye Shisan this time, but he didn't expect Ye Shisan to do this. A feeling of being fooled made him feel ashamed, and he coughed and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing to deal with. Let the spiritual officer continue to announce the results, I have to leave first." In fact, subconsciously, he didn't want to see Ye Shisan's smug look after his victory.

After the Lingguan announced the result, Ye Shisan was very proud and waved to the people who came to watch the game. He thought to himself, "It's a pity that there is no music to go with it. Otherwise, it would be a good time to play some music from Chow Yun Fat's God of Gamblers. That would be awesome, hehe."

After hearing the result, the crowd dispersed with a sense of satisfaction. Xue Jia and Ling Fei came forward to congratulate Ye Shisan, and the latter even put his arm around Ye Shisan's shoulders and said, "Smelly boy, your last move of annihilation didn't seem very difficult. I think if it were me, I could do it easily, right?"

Ye Shisan said calmly, "The difficulty of the technique is not the key, the key is to win. That's why I used various methods to make them emphasize again and again that even if the dice is broken, it still counts. This way, they can't change their words later."

Xue Jia also nodded and said, "It is indeed true that Ye Shisan can win by relying on wisdom rather than skills. In my opinion, this third match will be much more exciting than the previous two. The Black Emperor has prepared some wine and food, so you can eat here at noon and try to get a better rest so that you can have enough energy to deal with the duel in the afternoon."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "Forget it. There is still some time before noon, and I want to investigate the woman named Yue Ji. Don't worry, I will be back on time before the duel in the afternoon."

Ling Fei smiled and said, "That's fine, but I want to go with you. I don't think you would object, right?"

Ye Shisan knew that there were many important figures from the Sanmiao Kingdom present this time, and Ling Fei gave up the opportunity to get in touch with these important figures in order to help him. His heart warmed and he wanted to refuse, but seeing his firm look, he had to agree: "Thank you, it will be much more convenient to do things with you as a general."

Yue Ji is the most famous singer in Youdu City, and she is also the top prostitute in Wanxianglou, the largest brothel in Youdu. It is not easy for ordinary people to see her. That is why Ling Fei must come with him. After all, Ling Fei's status and position in Youdu is also very transcendent. If he comes in person, Yue Ji will be suspected of being guilty if he does not meet her. If Ye Shisan comes alone, it is easy to be rejected.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Ye Shisan asked casually, "Have you seen this Yue Ji before? What kind of character is she?"

Ling Fei retorted angrily: "Who do you think I am? This is my first time!" Seeing Ye Shisan laughing beside him, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words: "I said it was my first time to go to that kind of place. I warn you, don't get the wrong idea!"

Ye Shisan said with a sly smile: "I'm really sorry, I've already got the wrong idea."

"Go to hell!" Ling Fei kicked out angrily.

"I'll dodge!"

Chatting and joking along the way, the two arrived at Wanxiang Tower. The building scale here was much larger than Ling Fei's mansion. It seemed that this oldest industry was always popular. The brothel's business was not bad during the day. When the madam saw the two people coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Why did you two come just now? Xiao Caifeng and Xiao Taohong miss you every day."

Ye Shisan and Ling Fei smiled bitterly at each other. It was their first time here, so how could they know Xiao Caifeng, Xiao Taohong, etc.? The methods used by these procuresses to solicit customers were the same throughout the ages, without any new ideas. They despised one first.

Ling Fei coughed to cover up his embarrassment. He casually gave the madam a dozen immortal coins and said, "I am Ling Fei from Tianji Mansion. I don't know any Little Caifeng or Little Hong. I came here to meet Miss Yueji. Please help me arrange it." From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at the madam. Ye Shisan thought to himself that sometimes using official power to pressure people is also a good choice, which can save a lot of trouble.

Seeing his generosity and hearing Ling Fei's name, the madam was immediately delighted and clapped her handkerchief, saying, "It turns out that General Five Elements has come to visit. Our small shop is really blessed with a new lease of life..." As she spoke she deliberately pulled the corner of Ling Fei's clothes and continued to tease him in a tender voice, making Ling Fei very embarrassed.

Ye Shisan saw it and almost laughed out loud.

Ling Fei used his internal energy to shake off the madam's hand in frustration, and said unhappily, "Please help me arrange it. I have something else to do. I must meet the Black Emperor on time in the afternoon."

The madam was treated coldly by Ling Fei, but she did not show any displeasure. She immediately replied: "General Ling, please wait in the garden. I will arrange it right away." After that, she winked at the turtle man beside her and went upstairs alone.

After Mr. Turtle brought the two men to the pavilion in the courtyard garden, he knew that the two men didn't want to pay attention to him, so he tactfully said goodbye and left.

Looking at the various flowers and plants around, Ye Shisan couldn't help but praise: "The garden here is very nice, with such a rich variety of flowers and plants. Although it is far inferior to the one in Emperor Yan's place, it is much more lively than the Xue Mansion and your Tianji Mansion." Not only are there various flowers in the garden, with a riot of colour, but there are also many bees and butterflies playing among the flowers, adding a lot of vitality to this garden in the land of fireworks.

Ling Fei laughed and scolded, "What are you talking about? How can you compare this kind of place with the residences of Mr. Xue and me? I don't think it's a big deal, but if Mr. Xue hears it, he will definitely be unhappy."

Thinking that Xue Ji had always been Xue Jia's concern, Ye Shisan nodded and changed the subject, "Just now I heard the madam call you the Five Elements General. What is that name?"

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that a butterfly as green as emerald green was quietly flying in from outside the wall. It didn't linger around the flowers and plants in the circle, but flew directly in the direction of Ye Shisan.
