Chapter 708: Chapter 0710: Gambling Stone Grand Opening
The person spoke, a pained expression on his face, “I’m just worried, your joining the Sunflower Sect is no longer a secret, and the Black Witch Sect won’t let you go just like that.”
Yang Kun snorted lightly, “If I were afraid of them, I wouldn’t be called Yang Kun.”
The person sighed helplessly and shook his head, “Actually, it’s good that you left the Black Witch Sect. It’s completely changed from what it was before, it’s chaotic now, many disciples have become deserters because of the upcoming crackdown, they’ve already left the Black Witch Sect.”
The person spoke, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, he also wanted to escape, but his personality prevented him from taking that step.
Yang Kun knew about his cowardly thoughts and told him, “If you really can’t bring yourself to be ruthless, then let me help you, how about it?”
The person was startled and looked up at Yang Kun in surprise, “I… no, I can’t.”
Yang Kun looked at him with disdain, “You are so cowardly, I really can’t stand it.”
The person sighed, he knew he appeared cowardly, but where could he go after leaving the Black Witch Sect? People who had joined the Black Witch Sect were looked down upon everywhere they went.
Yang Kun glanced at him, knowing that pushing him to make a decision was forcing him, so he didn’t say much more. He raised his hand, patted the person’s shoulder and said, “You and I grew up together as brothers; if it really comes to that, just tell me, and I will lend a hand to help you.”
The person nodded, “Thank you, Yang Kun.”
“Well, Yang Ping, you’ve been in the Capital City for a while now, have you not gone out to see what the Capital is like?”
Yang Ping, Yang Kun’s childhood friend, the two of them had joined the Black Witch Sect together for their dreams, only to find that the sect was not as they had imagined.
Yang Kun had always been cunning and deep-thinking. In order to achieve his goals, he endured and used flattery, quickly winning the hearts of the higher-ups in the Black Witch Sect. It was precisely because of this that he learned some secrets not known to the other disciples and brazenly took the chance to escape the sect during its major overhaul.
However, Yang Ping was different. He was naturally timid and cowardly, although he wanted to become a great hero like in the TV shows, reality was always so cruel. Seeing that the Black Witch Sect was not the reputable sect he had imagined, he felt somewhat disappointed.
Since he had joined, he worked diligently, but his honest demeanor made him looked down upon and bullied in this dog-eat-dog world.
In the Black Witch Sect, Yang Ping did the most work, but his efforts were unappreciated since he was not good at sweet-talking like Yang Kun.
“I’m , how can I go out?” Yang Ping said, scratching his head embarrassedly. The reputation of the Black Witch Sect was now rotten, and with the upcoming summit, his attire would instantly give him away if he went out.
Yang Ping had come to the Capital City with the elders attending the summit, but the elders, finding him ungainly and tactless, left him to wander around the city while they stayed in a grand hotel.
Yang Ping had intended to visit Yang Kun anyway, so he didn’t make any fuss about it and went directly to find Yang Kun.
When it came to the black robe and mask on his body, Yang Kun’s face showed a look of hatred. He raised his hand and gently touched his cheek, “My face, because of practicing the Evil Technique of the Black Witch Sect, has become completely unrecognizable. All this is thanks to the Black Witch Sect!”
Yang Ping’s lips parted, his gaze flickered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
“I’m currently looking for a miraculous technique to restore my appearance. Once found, we can restore our looks, take off these black robes, dress in ordinary clothes, and walk among the people, just like ordinary people! No more being shunned!”
Yang Kun said fiercely.
Yang Ping sighed lightly, “If only we hadn’t joined the Black Witch Sect, that would have been so much better.”
Yang Kun looked at him with disdain, “Always talking about ‘if only’. If we really could go back, then there wouldn’t be the word ‘regret’ in this world!”
Yang Ping sighed, shook his head, and said no more.
In a blink, it was the day of Chu Ge’s Gambling Stone Field’s grand opening.
Because of Miss Man Sha’s frequent private meals with Chu Ge, his reputation had already spread far and wide due to her.
And now that he had opened a gambling stone field, the men who worshiped Miss Man Sha as a goddess naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to see what their romantic rival was like.
The opening was set at 10:10 AM, but by 8:00 AM, the entrance was already crowded with people.
Everyone was craning their necks towards the entrance, the scene bustling with excitement.
Chu Ge was also dressed very formally today; he stood in front of the mirror adjusting his outfit, which he had bought at a shopping mall in Shanghai with Mu Bingtong.
Speaking of Mu Bingtong, Chu Ge realized that it had been a while since he last called her, and he didn’t know how she was doing recently.
Thinking of this, Chu Ge took out his cellphone to check the last time they had communicated, the record stopped at a goodnight message from the night before yesterday.
Today was his opening day, which Mu Bingtong knew about because he had told her earlier that he wanted to secure his standing economically first in Beijing.
Other aspects he might not understand, but managing a gambling stone field, to him, seemed much simpler than others.
Chu Ge thought for a while and then decided to call Mu Bingtong to share the news, but after dialing, the phone rang for a long while with no answer.
“Maybe she’s busy?” Chu Ge muttered to himself.
“Mr. Chu, what did you say?” Nangong Man Sha appeared behind him, her face full of curiosity.
Today, Miss Man Sha was wearing a scarlet slit bodycon dress, which clung to her shapely figure, making any man hard to look away.
But Chu Ge only glanced back once, saw who it was, and then averted his gaze.
He put away his phone, noting that it was time for a morning meeting, it was normal for her to be busy and not able to answer the phone, he thought he’d call her again after the opening ceremony.
Chu Ge thought to himself and slipped his phone into his pocket.
“Miss Man Sha, I’ve heard that many of your admirers have arrived outside, I hope they won’t start a fight over you here at my gambling stone field.”
