What is an Earth-Walking Immortal?
As expected of a student the teacher was proud of, look, he doesn't touch anything that's forbidden in the books.
“A gambling den,” Ling Fei explained abruptly, looking at him.
No wonder the princess wanted to bring me along today.
If the Emperor finds out, she'll be punished again, and for at least ten days or half a month, the princess won't be able to attend morning court sessions or submit memorials.
"A gambling den?! You two are incredibly audacious!"
It was rare for the group to see Zheng Yichen's expression change; it was indeed much more expressive than his usual expressionless face. However, his change didn't last long before he regained his composure.
"I'm going too." He knew he couldn't stop these two rascals, so he could only follow them and keep an eye on them to prevent them from going too far.
Ling Fei had some understanding of the princess's temperament and felt that she was going to beat up someone.
Which gambling den dared to offend these two little devils!
Zheng Zhian brought Zheng Nianyun along because she was certain that the people at the gambling den would accept Zheng Nianyun's money. Although she had guessed that the people behind her might have recognized her as well, she was worried that they might not. That's why she wanted to bring Zheng Nianyun along.
But if we bring another child, since we're not really going on vacation, it would be too much of a burden to have the whole family with us.
Zheng Zhian and Zheng Nianyun exchanged a glance.
"Let's go, let's go." Zheng Nianyun pushed Zheng Zhian forward. He didn't expect Zheng Zhian to have other things to do, so he just treated it as a trip.
The group arrived at the entrance of the Earth Immortal's Gate. The gatekeeper was not the same person from last night. There were quite a few people coming and going at the entrance of the gambling house early in the morning, so it was clear that the gate was not closed.
It seems they've been giving the curfew patrolmen quite a bit of benefits.
They intended to simply walk in, but the two guards at the door gestured to Ling Fei, saying, "You can go in, but they can't."
Last night, the manager said that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to enter the Earthly Immortal's territory. Although they had never heard of any gambling den having such a rule, since the higher-ups had said so, they had no choice but to comply.
Zheng Zhian's eyes darkened slightly. He glanced at Zheng Nianyun beside him, stepped forward, deliberately lowered his voice, and pointed to the person next to him, "Go tell your steward that Young Master Yun came looking for you last night, and he knows who it is."
Seeing that the group was well-dressed and had an impressive demeanor, the two men exchanged glances, and one of them decided to go in and announce, "Wait here."
People coming and going all took a look at these people, and some even stopped to watch from a distance.
It wasn't until much later that the butler from last night rushed out, as if he were there to greet someone very important.
Before he even got close, he had already put on a smile and said, "Young Master Yun, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Zheng Nianyun chuckled and pointed to the people beside him, "Yesterday I went back and told them about your place, and it really opened their eyes. They didn't believe me and insisted on seeing it for themselves, so here we are..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was clear.
The steward's eyebrows twitched. Was the Earth-Walking Immortal a sight to behold? Everyone wanted to come and see it.
With a smile, he rubbed his hands together. "Young Master Yun, look at this place. It's bustling with people from all walks of life. It's probably not very suitable for you gentlemen. If someone were to offend you, we wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility." After saying that, he took a few steps forward and pointed in a direction on the street. "There are quite a few shows at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion up ahead. Why don't you go and take a look, Young Master Yun?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Nianyun looked at Zheng Zhian; "What should we do if we can't get in?"
Zheng Zhian gestured for him to turn his head and whispered, "Ask him how he knows your name."
Zheng Nianyun's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right." He turned to the steward and asked curiously, "Steward, how did you know I was Young Master Yun?"
The steward withdrew his hand that had been pointing the way, his heart sinking, but he didn't show it on his face. "Young Master Yun mentioned this yesterday afternoon, have you forgotten?"
“I don’t have the habit of announcing my name, and I remember that very clearly.”
Zheng Nianyun's expression turned noticeably cold. Looking at him unfriendly, the steward was about to continue his evasive maneuvering when Zheng Zhian suddenly stepped forward and whispered to him, "Steward, please let us in. You should know his identity. If you can't reason with him today, his temper is not something an ordinary person can tolerate."
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Zheng Zhian continued, "You can go in and ask your boss."
Upon hearing the words "boss," the steward instantly looked at the young man in front of him with wariness. He was a handsome young man, as bright as the moon and as clear as the stars, and he seemed vaguely familiar.
She looked at him questioningly, "Were you here last night too?"
Zheng Zhian replied without batting an eye, "You mean that little girl? She's my twin sister. We were born at the same time, and people often mistake us for each other." He then added with feigned disdain, "Today she insisted on coming along, but I didn't let her."
"We heard last night how different the Earth Immortals are, so we wanted to come and see for ourselves. Could you please do us a favor?"
The manager looked her up and down with some skepticism. She was quite young and didn't have any distinguishing features. Moreover, she looked so androgynous that it was hard to tell if she was male or female. He sighed inwardly, "These two siblings really are cut from the same mold."
After sighing, he looked at Young Master Yun, whose face was growing increasingly dark, and after thinking for a moment, raised his hand and smiled, "Please come in, everyone."
Just as that young master said, if Young Master Yun really makes a scene, he will have a hard time explaining himself.
The group successfully entered the inner room. Zheng Zhian quickly scanned the crowd and asked in a low voice, "When will your life-or-death game resume?"
The manager, who was already considerably taller than her, looked down at him with surprise, "Young master, do you wish to place a bet?"
Zheng Zhian smiled ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying, "Do you have time?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on when the two people involved continue."
Their gambling den only opened the betting pool because those two were betting so big at the time. Who knows if there will be any follow-up!
Zheng Zhian curled her lips into a roguish smile, lightly bumping his shoulder. "No wonder everyone says casinos are corrupt, it's true what they say, money just goes in and never comes out." Before the manager could retort, she continued, "Do you know his identity?" She gestured towards Zheng Nianyun, who had already run to the gambling table to watch the excitement.
The steward stopped in his tracks, his eyes now serious, a forced smile on his face. "What exactly does the young master want to ask?"
Zheng Zhian casually tied his hands behind his back and slowly took two steps in place. "I don't have anything to ask. I just want to know if you know the two people who made the bet. That's all."
Yesterday, my master came to find some Thousand-Faced Monster, but the bet we were supposed to make yesterday didn't take place. It's such a coincidence that we have to investigate.
The manager opened his mouth, "We..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Nianyun ran over from the gambling table, pointed to the table in the distance that was blocked in front of him, and said, "That beggar is over there."
Zheng Zhian raised an eyebrow and looked at him in surprise.
A beggar at a gambling den? That's quite novel.
Even the manager looked on in disbelief when he heard the word "beggar." Led by Zheng Nianyun, the group went to the table where the beggar was.
He had just placed his bet and casually glanced around, noticing a group of people who had just separated. They also looked surprised.
"Brother, we meet again," Zheng Nianyun said teasingly.
