The villain has been playing badly for ten years

Opposite the Qingyi River is a pier.

On weekdays, ships come and go frequently, and the teahouses nearby are often filled with tea drinkers in groups of three or four, some sitting, some standing, some drinking tea and chatting, creating a chaotic scene.

Merchants gathered on the pier by the river, goods piled up like mountains, and various hawking and bargaining sounds were heard one after another.

The Crescent Moon Stone moved around several places before it finally determined its direction.

Hua Jianbai looked around and asked the little girl beside him, "Mie Mie, are you sure the Crescent Moon Stone is pointing here?"

"Should be..." Miemie was also dizzy and suddenly pointed at the thing in his hand.

"Lord, look at the Crescent Moon Stone...it's pointing the way."

As he spoke, the Moon-Clear Stone in Hua Jianbai's hand indeed flashed as if it was pointing the way, as if it were changing direction.

"That's over there!"

Hua Jianbai gestured forward, and the two hurried forward. They soon passed the pier and saw a loft in the distance, standing in a corner of the bustling city. Its eaves and corners were archaic and majestic.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, forming a prosperous picture of the city.

As I approached the attic, I could see clearly that there was an exquisite lantern hanging on the vermilion lintel with the word "gamble" written in capital letters on it. The fragrance filled the air.

The Crescent Moon Stone fell at this time and landed right in the palm of his hand.

Is it inside?

Hua Jianbai walked in without thinking, but Miemie suddenly stopped, looking embarrassed:

"Lord, no, no, Uncle Beard said not to enter this kind of place."

"Oh my, you're the one who's looking for someone, and you're the one who won't go in either. What are we going to do?"

"I'll be waiting outside, Lord, go see if the bearded uncle is inside."

Hua Jianbai was really convinced, so he went in. The casino was three stories high with a wooden platform in the middle.

Amidst the aroma, the sounds of dice colliding, Pai Gow playing, and the shouts of gamblers are tense and exciting.

In addition, there are countless women covering their faces with fans or covering their lips with sleeves. They are all as beautiful as flowers and full of charm.

"Sir, are you gambling with cards or playing dice?"

As soon as the woman saw the stranger, she came forward to greet him.

Hua Jianbai waved his hand. He was in no mood to play. Following the light of the Crescent Moon Stone, he went to the back door of the inner room without saying a word.

"What?"

Suddenly, several burly police officers appeared and stopped the people. These police officers were usually thugs who protected the casino, and each of them looked ferocious.

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for someone."

Hanamibai said patiently.

"You can't go in here."

He didn't bother to care and just walked away.

Those officers were just ordinary thugs. When they saw this man trying to force his way in, they immediately started to attack him.

But before he could even touch the martial artist's clothes, he suddenly fell out. Immediately, tables and chairs were overturned, and the casino was in chaos.

"Dude."

Hua Jianbai heard a familiar voice and when he looked up, his expression was slightly stunned.

On the second floor of the building, there was a beautiful woman standing leaning against the railing. She was wearing a plum green dress and a lilac silk robe underneath. Wasn't she Hu Xiaoxiao?

"Ah, why are you here?"

Hua Jianbai had just opened her mouth to ask when she heard several thugs bow to her and call out, "Boss, this martial artist is here to mess things up."

This means, could it be that this gambling house still belongs to Hu Xiaoxiao?

She just lowered her eyelashes slightly, met his gaze, and immediately retreated tactfully.

"My place is too small to handle your mess."

She sounded unhappy and looked like a charioteer.

Hanami Baizhi waved his arms and explained hurriedly:

"I'm here to look for someone, not to cause trouble, Xiaoxiao... Oh, don't misunderstand me."

Hearing this, she lightly stepped on the railing and actually fell lightly from it like a pink petal.

Hu Xiaoxiao's deer-like moon-like eyes were gentle, but in stark contrast, they concealed a hint of darkness.

"Who are you looking for, Mr. Hua, you came here to see me?"

Hua Jianbai looked at the Crescent Moon Stone in his hand, and saw a faint glow flashing, as if pointing to the back door of the casino.

"Xiaoxiao, can you come over there?"

Hu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly in the direction of his finger.

"That's the back street of Guishi."

Hua Jianbai smiled at her cheerfully, "Whether you are Xiaoxiao or Youlai, you are both the best. How about letting me go over and take a look?"

Hu Xiaoxiao did not stop him, nor did she say anything extra. She gestured to the thugs to disperse.

This time there was no one to stop him, so Hua Jianbai went straight inside and pushed open a few old doors, which led him to the street where all kinds of people gathered. It turned out to be Guishi.

Yuequeshi seemed to be very familiar with this place. Like a guide, he led Hua Jianbai through the bustling crowd and came to a quiet corridor.

This corridor seems to be hidden deep in the Guishi, in stark contrast to the noisy market outside.

As you walk into the corridor, a light floral fragrance hits your nose. Various flowers are placed on both sides of the corridor.

These exotic flowers and plants emit charming fragrance that makes people intoxicated.

Yuequeshi stopped in front of a beautiful crabapple tree in full bloom. He looked around and saw a flower shop. There was no one in the shop, and it had a back door.

Strange, what is Old Man Chen doing in Guishi?

And it seems like they sell flowers here...

Hua Jianbai looked puzzled and pushed the door open. What he saw was the garden again. It was surrounded by a fence, and small white flowers and emerald green branches and leaves interwoven into a natural barrier.

Wow, so beautiful! He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

These exotic flowers and plants are neatly arranged, and the branches of the vines are flexible and strong, covered with sharp thorns, all clinging to the walls or wooden frames of the fence.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the small white flowers, sprinkling onto the bluestone slabs in a mottled manner, forming patches of interlaced light and shadow.

As soon as Hua Jianbai stepped into the garden, countless vines seemed to come alive and lashed at him like long whips.

Oh, there is spiritual practice here?

He was startled and turned on his toes to avoid the attack of the vines.

But suddenly, a figure appeared and disappeared in the green shade, and there was a flash of swords. Hua Jianbai was horrified and quickly dodged.

The man wearing a fur crown had an extremely big mouth and a gleam of light in his eyes. The long blade shone like a crescent moon and spun rapidly in his hand.

Hua Jianbai jumped backwards in panic, like a swallow flying through the clouds, and just avoided the sharp blade.

"why is it you again?"

When Hanamibai stood firm, he looked towards the garden not far away. The woman's hair bun was fixed with a dragon-shaped jade hairpin, and her glittering brocade long skirt was dazzling in the sun.

"Hua, it's true that enemies meet on a narrow road. I searched high and low for someone to find, but unexpectedly, you, a bitch, showed up at my doorstep."

"I'm really impressed. Why do you always pick on me?"

"I should be the one asking you why you're so against my Luo family. First, you stole things from our ancestors, and now, you dare to come and run wild in my temporary residence!"

She grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, and suddenly she shouted,

"Stud, bring this bitch to me."

Hua Jianbai was really angry when he heard this person calling her a bitch all the time.

He opened his mouth and yelled, "Wow, bitch, you're the cheap one, and I didn't steal anything from you!"

The woman raised her eyebrows, clenched her fingers into fists, waved her sleeves and said angrily:

"You ignorant bitch, how dare you speak so arrogantly? If it weren't for me..."

She paused at this point, then changed the subject and cursed:

"I don't want to hurt that thing, I will definitely skin you alive!"

As he spoke, the man called Soha shouted loudly, shaking the sky.

Holding two swords, the sword's momentum changed and attacked him like a violent storm.

Hua Jianbai drew his sword from its sheath, and while the man's sword momentum was still strong, he lightly tapped the tip of his sword, which could trigger bursts of sword energy.

Soha's swordsmanship became more and more fierce, the blade flashed like lightning, and went straight to the vital points.

The two men fought back and forth with swords flashing and sabers flying, and the fight was difficult to determine.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a very majestic voice shouted, which seemed to be more effective than a woman's voice.

Suoha was a mute and didn't say anything. He just took a step back, sheathed his two swords, and saluted him.

The man who was speaking was wearing a long blue cloth gown, his face was full of wrinkles, and his exposed eye was gleaming with brilliance.

When his eyes fell on Hua Jianbai, his expression changed in an instant, and his light jumping movements made him seem as if he were ten years younger.

"Ah my Lord, this is the flood that has hit the Dragon King Temple. Why are our own people fighting each other?"

"Old man Chen!" Hua Jianbai was furious. He stepped forward and started to scold him, "Why are you here? Miemie insisted that you were missing. I was almost dying of worry, didn't you know?"

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but feel shocked and angry. She pointed at Hua Jianbai and said, "Uncle Shi, you said he is one of us?"

Chen Jiu's hair was graying, and he had restrained some of his funny look. He nodded calmly and said, "Yes, Feng Ji, this guy is the one I mentioned to you. It was him who freed me from the mine."

Not only was the woman furious, but Hua Jianbai was also stunned: "Old man Chen, who is she?"

Chen Jiu touched his gray beard, shook his head and said:

"Her name is Luo Fengji, the daughter of an old friend. Since you two are about the same age, why not be brothers...sisters?"

"What?" Hua Jianbai was stunned. "Old Chen, what you said is a grammatical error. She is a woman. She should be the daughter of an old friend."

Luo Fengji took a step forward and stared at Hua Jianbai, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Have you really forgotten everything?"

Hanamibai was extremely anxious: "What is it? Just tell me what you mean, why are you playing tricks on me?"
