When Madam Zheng saw this scene, she slapped her thigh and asked, "What should I do?"

Can I still explain this to the old lady when I go back?

But at this time, he could only quickly cover his aching teeth and chase after him.

Of course, even though Nanny Zheng was anxious and angry, she did not forget to pull out a handkerchief to cover her old face to avoid exposing it and causing trouble in the future.

Li Qingluo followed Duan Rongshi to the first floor and quickly blended into the crowd.

But his overly prominent height still attracted a lot of attention.

The first people to see him were Zheng Lingzhou and his sister.

Zheng Lingzhou had just heard from his subordinates that it was Yue Wuye, who had bought things from the Lisboa Casino and was a businessman from Da Chu.

Identity is in doubt.

No matter how many more there are, they cannot be found.

Zheng Lingzhou didn't take this person too seriously, but it was strange that when he saw the particularly ugly person next to him, he couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.

Because those eyes stood out a little too much on that face.

Moreover, why would such a short and ugly person be protected so attentively by Master Yue Wu?

In addition to Zheng Lingzhou and his sister, the prince of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion was also mixed in the crowd.

Prince Jin, Prince Yun, the Grand Prince Consort, and even several other distinguished guests in the VIP rooms were still upstairs and had not yet appeared.

"What on earth are you guys at the Lisboa Casino doing here? Are you planning to trap all of us here and feed us to this giant monster?"

"What a huge monster! This is a monster!"

"It, it eats people, it eats people! You, your Lisboa Casino, actually dared to film something like this. How audacious! This kind of thing shouldn't exist, and yet you actually want to sell it to us? What evil intentions do you harbor?"

"I've heard this is the Lotus Cult's lair. Could it be true?"

"If that's the case, and this fleshworm is really taken back to Jinling, won't it cause chaos?!"

Everyone seemed to smell a conspiracy.

It’s all fun, but few people dare to commit things like confiscating property and exterminating families, or even endangering the country’s destiny.

"Let us out now! We won't participate in this damn auction. If you don't open the door and let us out, don't blame us for being rude!"

"That's right, draw your sword—"

In an instant, everyone was filled with anger. Some of them brought guards, some did not, some took their own knives, and some did not have knives and just picked up a table leg from the ground. They all stood up.

The masked young man's expression gradually became ugly.

"What are you guys doing?"

"I have no other intentions."

"It's just that this auction was just disrupted, so we don't want anyone to misunderstand it."

"It's true that this bloodworm can eat people, but if you don't take the initiative to throw yourself at it, it won't attack you. Otherwise, did you see it leave this barrel at all?"

Only then did everyone realize that the blood-filled insect did not actively attack people.

The scene just now was the result of someone accidentally falling in and being swallowed.

"This...what on earth is going on?"

"That's right."

"This bug is too weird. I, I'm not interested. You'd better open the door and let us go!"

Everyone was still shouting that they wanted to leave.

However, the crowd was chaotic, and the Lisboa Casino had not achieved its goal today, so how could it possibly let people go?

The masked young man's face completely darkened. He didn't even know what the problem was. That person should have appeared and taken action as he had planned!

Otherwise, the people who were ambushed today, and even if they did these actions to offend the powerful people in Jinling City, all their efforts would have been in vain!

Could it be that he didn't come at all?

But is that possible?

The news has already spread. If Pei San is really in his hands, he will definitely not remain indifferent!

The masked young man couldn't help but stare at the crowd.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a mask wearing a white dragon.

This person's figure...

However, before he could fully understand the situation, Leng Dian in the crowd suddenly raised his hand and said, "Master Chu Yuewu, I'll pay you one hundred taels of gold to buy the bloodworm!"

The people following the King of Jin shouted, "We were here first! People from Da Chu, get out of here! This is our Daliang territory. How can we let you take this treasure?"

"Our Third Master Jin is offering three hundred taels of gold to buy the blood-curdling insect!"

"Our young master offers four hundred taels of gold!"

The next person to bid was someone from the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion.

The price was quickly raised.

Those who were originally shouting that they wanted to leave were speechless for a moment when they saw that there were actually powerful people who were desperately raising the price.

Are these people really crazy?

How could they know that if these gentlemen did not want to see the Lisboa Casino continue to pretend, the Lisboa Casino would definitely use these ordinary young masters to cause trouble today.

Otherwise, how will it end if the purpose of moving the bug out is not achieved?

Finally, King Jin bought the bloodworm for two thousand taels of gold.

Master Yue Wu resolutely gave up.

The masked young man called out to Master Yue Wu, who was about to turn and leave. "Master Yue Wu! Are you really... not going to raise the price and take this bug? Is this bug really useless to you?"

Prince Su turned to look at the masked young man: "Why are you so sure that I need this bug? Who are you?"

Prince Su pretended to be anxious and stepped forward to uncover the true face of the masked young man, but was stopped by a group of people.

And seeing that he was helpless in his reaction to being blocked, the young man felt very disappointed.

If it really was that person, he would never react like this.

Moreover, this man is accompanied by an old woman and a thing so ugly that it makes people unable to open their eyes. How could it be him?

There is never even one person around him who is not in order.

Next, the auction can only move forward.

What was left was sold out quickly.

Li Qingluo also paid special attention to the transvestite from Southeast Asia. It was said that she was bought by the prince consort.

Seeing that the demon was incredibly beautiful and delicate, Li Qingshi couldn't help but ask, "Why is she called a demon?"

It doesn't look like a real monster.

Prince Su looked down at her and said nothing.

Li Qingluo turned around and asked Madam Zheng, "Do you know how a human could become a demon?"

Someone nearby was looking at her with a teasing look in his eyes. Duan Rongshi stretched out his wide sleeves and rolled her into his arms, covering her entire face.

Duan Rongshi whispered, "Don't ask any more questions!"

Then, he seemed to realize that he was a little too fierce, and his voice softened a little.

"If you are truly interested, I will take you to the Princess's Palace next time and you will know."

He said this in a very low voice, so only Li Qingluo could hear it.

She was gathered behind his sleeves, her whole body stiff and not daring to move, but at this moment her face inexplicably flushed...

After the incident, the masked young man, who was obviously very capable of managing the household, said in a loud voice, "It is my Lisboa Casino that has offended all of you guests today."

"Although you were the ones who broke the rules of my Lisboa Casino first, I was also anxious and frightened you guests."

"Let's just pretend that everything just now was just a misunderstanding. All your spending at my casino today is free of charge! Consider this our apology from the Lisboa Casino!"

"Dear guests, please continue to eat, drink and have fun!"

In an instant, all the nobles and young masters who were almost completely lost were pulled back.

"I told you, your Lisboa Casino is really incompetent today!"

"Exactly. What's the point of being so mysterious just to swat a bug?"

"It's really disgusting. Why don't you bring some more wine?"

"Come on, come on, set up the gambling table again!"

"And beauties, this young master wants beauties—"

The doors and windows were opened, but no one was in a hurry to leave.

The scene of extravagance and decadence instantly returned to the lobby.

It seemed as if everything that just happened was just a dream illusion.

Li Qingluo felt extremely disgusted in his heart.

Who are these people?

He deserves to be humiliated as a piglet and a beast.

Li Qingluo followed Prince Su out of the gambling house as quickly as possible, but did not go to get the horse immediately. Instead, he came to a dark corner of the alley and stared at the entrance and exit of the gambling house.

Soon, they saw the carriages of Prince Jin, Prince Yun, and the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion hurried away one after another.

The three groups of people seemed to be quite a lot, and they marched in a mighty procession for quite a while before disappearing from the street.

Li Qingluo and a few others were standing in the alley. They saw that as soon as these families left, dozens of men in black followed them.

Li Qingluo: "Lotus Sect, or someone from this gambling house?"

And what is this for?

After swatting that fleshworm away, you plan to rob it back?

Or do the Lotus Cult members want to just rob and reap the benefits?

That was something purchased with two thousand taels of gold, how could the King of Jin just give it away?

Duan Rongshi: "Do you really think these are two groups of people?"

He reached out and knocked her head, "Make a bold guess."

Li Qingluo's eyes widened instantly: "Your Highness, are you saying that this gambling house is actually the Lotus Cult?!"

"Then the owner of this gambling house, that masked young man just now, isn't he the Lotus Sect Leader?!"

This speculation made Li Qingluo's chest beat wildly.

She had completely guessed wrong before!

She thought that this gambling house was occupied by the Lotus Sect. Perhaps the two were connected, but not completely one.

Now I finally understand that they didn't come to the gambling house today, but broke into the Lotus Sect's lair!

Li Qingluo turned his head and looked at Duan Rongshi deeply.

So he clearly knew that this was the sinful place of the Lotus Cult.

But he just watched the court allow this place to grow and develop.

Obviously, he had other purposes, so he always knew that he was just trying to strike a blow to the influence and voice of the Lotus Sect in Jinling City.

Why did he do this?

unless……

Li Qingluo suddenly shuddered all over.

"Your Highness, have you known the true identity of the Lotus Sect Leader for a long time? Do you know him?"

"And his status cannot be underestimated? So, Your Highness is worried... or perhaps, he can use it to his advantage?"

Li Qingluo didn't get an answer because Leng Dian had already brought all the horses over.

Before Li Qingluo could get on his horse, Duan Rongshi lifted him onto his horse's back.

"Hold on tight to me, King."

"So you want to know the identity of the Lotus Sect Leader? Come and see for yourself today!"

After saying this, Prince Su whipped his whip and the horse sprang out like lightning.
