Chapter 16 Gambling Debt Token (Happy National Day)
Author: Xianxian
In front of the city gate, there was a huge crowd.
But at this moment, Ji Yi felt an inexplicable chill.
Old man Fang actually knew the person who attacked and killed him that night.
"Did Old Man Fang have any involvement in the attack on me, or was it Old Man Fang's unintentional words that exposed me?"
Thinking back to everything I had with Old Man Fang, as well as the scenes along the way after last night
Even though Lin Yi knew that the possibility of Old Man Fang's involvement in this matter was extremely small, he still couldn't help but have many distracting thoughts in his heart.
"So, Zheng Guang is not in the food team on this trip?"
When Ji Yi's thoughts were wandering, the person who came with the portrait frowned and said in a deep voice.
"This man owes me three hundred low-grade spiritual stones from Lan Gui Gambling House, and we originally agreed to pay him back today.
But now it seems that he wants to break the appointment."
"If you know the whereabouts of this person, as long as you can report his whereabouts, our Langui Gambling House will provide you with ten low-grade spiritual stones as a reward."
Having said this, the visitor sneered, handed over his hand and left a few words, looked at the rear of the grain team, and then turned around and left.
"Excuse me, if you provide a corpse, can I be rewarded with ten spirit stones?"
Looking at the backs of the people in Langui Gambling House, Lin Yi silently added in his heart.
Come to think of it, after he said it, he became the enemy of Lan Gui Gambling House.
Thinking like this, Lin Yi put away his distracting thoughts and looked at Old Man Fang with a confused look on his face while pretending not to know.
"Uncle Fang, are you familiar with Zheng Guang? This person actually came to you?"
"We grow food, but after one year, we only get a surplus of thirty spiritual stones.
That man is actually confident of repaying it all at once, which is really remarkable."
"Awesome, what's so great?"
Old Man Fang laughed disdainfully.
"I'm afraid this person is close to death."
"How can I say this? I think the people in Langui Gambling House behave very well."
Lin Yi pretended to be stunned.
"You also know how the harvest in Tianzhong is, so why doesn't this gambling house know about it?
The old man had done business with Zheng Guang several times. He only knew that he was usually cautious and seemed to be good at controlling animals.
Judging from his past behavior, it seems that he could easily do such a heroic act.
Now, he actually dares to owe the gambling house 300 low-grade spiritual stones, and the gambling house actually borrowed them. This person must have provided some support.
But he is just a monk on the second level of Qi training, so what can he come up with that is worthy of the favor of the gambling house?
If there is, this breach of contract, Lan Gui Gambling House will definitely not let it go, if not."
Having said this, Old Man Fang chuckled and said no more. He just looked at the prosperous Xianyuan City and sighed helplessly.
"Boy Lin, we are not the kind of genius with peerless spiritual roots, nor do we have aristocratic families or immortal sects to rely on.
If you want to embark on this road of immortality, in addition to being cautious, the most important thing is to restrain all kinds of desires and greed in your heart.
The human heart is not as powerful as a snake swallowing an elephant. This saying is not only useful for ordinary people, but it is also a supreme guide for monks like us."
"Ji Yi remembers it."
Hearing this, Lin Yi said solemnly.
At this moment, he could faintly see a twilight glow on Old Man Fang's body.
That is the eternal life ahead, but I have more than enough ambition but not enough power, so I can only move forward in helplessness, pursuing that glimmer of hope.
"Let's go, even if you enter the city, you need to be careful."
With that said, Old Man Fang walked towards the city gate.
Seeing this, Lin Yi followed him silently.
But at this moment, his heart suddenly became hot.
"If there is nothing worthy of favor, Lan Gui Gambling House will definitely not lend out three hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Since Lan Gui Gambling House dared to borrow money, it means that the value of the items in Zheng Fang's hand used as collateral must be far more than three hundred spiritual stones.
Why wasn't this thing taken away when it was in the gambling house?"
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.
However, Zheng Fang not only dared to agree to pay off the debt of Lan Gui Casino today, but also attempted to kill people and loot goods last night. Do you want to explain it?
This ‘poor guy’ is actually not poor.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi had one more reason to succeed in attacking Xiantian.
After stepping into the city gate, the two exchanged a few words and then parted ways.
However, Lin Yi noticed that not far from the city gate, the man who had taken the painting from the Langui Casino did not leave, but was drinking tea in front of the tea stall.
Come to think of it, I still have feelings for Zheng Fang.
"What is it that makes the people in the gambling shop so reluctant to part with Zheng Fang?"
After Lin Yi murmured something in his heart, he walked towards Dongcheng.
In front of the tea stall.
When Lin Yi looked at it, the person holding the painting seemed to be feeling something and looked over.
But in his eyes, a mere warrior is like an ant.
Therefore, after just taking a quick look, he continued to drink tea with peace of mind.
Dongcheng, Sifang Alley.
In this alley, the streets are neatly planned, and at regular intervals, there are large green trees planted on both sides of the road.
The trees are lush and leafy like a canopy, making the whole alley look very peaceful at first glance.
Compared with the many complicated crowds in the city, this place makes people feel much more relaxed.
At least, this alleyway leading north and south is clearly visible, so you can know if anyone is following you.
"Boom!"
A moment later, Ji Yi carried two bottles of spirit wine and stood in front of a house according to the address given by Li Mu.
"Who's out there?"
Inside the house, a strong voice came.
"I am Lin Yi, Lin Feixiang's nephew.
I came here specifically to pay homage to Uncle Li and repay the kindness I received a month ago."
Lin Yi said respectfully.
"Squeak!"
After a while, the door opened, and an old servant appeared behind the door, but the aura on his body was no weaker than that of Ji Yi.
Obviously, this old man is also a martial arts practitioner with great inner energy.
That's right, in this fairy city, where can the ordinary and commonplace come from.
"Excuse me, is Uncle Li here?"
Lin Yi said respectfully.
"The young master is still away on official duties and has not come back, but the young master did leave a message.
If a young man named Lin Yi comes here to seek a breakthrough in the innate world, let me give him something.
With this item, you will be eligible to rent it in a cave in the city."
The old servant said solemnly.
"Are you here to seek a breakthrough?"
"This junior has already taken the Marrow Essence Pill given by Uncle Li. The purpose of coming here is to break through the innateness."
With that said, Ji Yi handed over the two bottles of spiritual wine in his hand.
"You are interested, come in with me."
The old servant took the spirit wine, nodded, and walked toward the house.
"Remember to close the door."
"I wonder how soon Uncle Li will be back?"
"The Black Wind Thieves are cunning. Although they destroyed one of their stores half a month ago, it will probably take more than a month to finish the job completely."
The two exchanged words with each other. During this period, Lin Yi learned that Li Mu's son, Li Fei, was temporarily out of town and had no chance to meet him this time.
But after going out, Ji Yi had an extra token in his hand.
"Although I had coveted him at first, he was able to reach this point, so I have to repay this favor."
Holding the token in his hand, Lin Yi glanced at the houses behind him and then headed towards Nancheng.
