Lü Junchen was so angry that his face whitened. Although he knew that his dice had been surreptitiously swapped by Cai Wei, he had no evidence, and could only swallow his loss.
However, kneeling to this little demoness was absolutely unthinkable!
"Ha, a man’s knees are full of gold. Other than my parents and ancestors, I have never knelt to anyone!"
That’s what Lü Junchen said.
Cai Wei stood up, waved the bet agreement document they had signed before the gamble, and loudly said: "Gentlemen keep their word, while lesser men are unpredictable. I insisted on signing this document before the gamble to guard against those who do not keep their word and are inconsistent. Now, with the document as an impartial witness, does Young Master Lü intend to publicly break his promise and become a man who doesn’t keep his word?"
Lü Junchen was so irritated by her words that his face turned purple from suppressed rage. However, in front of everyone, he could only endure and said: "A promise is worth a thousand gold. As I cannot fulfill my promise, I am willing to compensate you with a thousand gold. Also, from today onwards, I, Lü Junchen, will protect the Bafu Restaurant. Whoever dares to offend the Bafu Restaurant is my enemy, and I will pursue it to the end. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Cai Wei smirked disdainfully and said: "I’ll accept the thousand gold. Since Young Master Lü insists on not keeping his promise, I no longer wish to impose upon you. However, it’s truly eye-opening and disappointing that the famous Lü Family from Qingyun Town would actually break their word and act so dishonorably!"
With that, she picked up the precious sword and left.
Inside the hall, Lü Junchen, who had lost face and dignity, was suppressing the urge to vomit blood as he watched her brazenly exit. His eyes were filled with bloodshot rage.
You little b*tch, daring to cross me, just wait...
As soon as Cai Wei left the Hongyun Casino, she released Brother Parrot.
"Go, go to the Lü Family and find out where they hide their silver and valuable items. I will collect them later."
After hearing this, Brother Parrot squawked and disappeared flapping his wings.
Cai Wei walked a short distance and saw that no one was around, so she returned, reached the front door of the Hongyun Rice Shop, looked around, drew her precious sword, and split the big iron lock at the front door.
With a "clang" sound, the half-foot-long iron lock was cut in two like a piece of soft mud and fell to the ground.
Cai Wei felt the sword’s blade. There was not a single nick on it. She couldn’t help but secretly admire, "It truly is a rare treasure of a sword!"
Opening the rice shop’s main door, Cai Wei felt her way inside the dark. As soon as she entered, she suddenly sensed someone’s presence behind her.
Ever since she began her cultivation in the Space, all her senses have greatly improved. With the supplement of the Space’s Lingxi River water and Space food, she could clearly perceive people and objects within a fifty-meter range!
Damn it, she was being followed!
A sneer appeared on Cai Wei’s lips as she slipped behind a grain bunker, held her breath, and waited for the idiot to walk into the trap.
Zhu Yue hurriedly entered the rice shop. His keen eyes searched around. He had clearly seen that hateful woman enter this place, but where had she disappeared to in the blink of an eye?
He didn’t dare to slacken and hurriedly searched. Although he and Chai Feng both despised this woman, they also knew her importance to their master. For her, the master was willing to risk his life, stubbornly remain in this remote small town, and wait for his confrontation with the demon Daoist Tianjizi.
Although the master claimed he stayed to eliminate the threat of Tianjizi, it was clear to everyone that this was not the best opportunity for the seriously injured master. There had been far better opportunities in the capital before. The master had always been cautious and never acted recklessly. So why is he so impatient now?
