Chapter 2206: Chapter 2207: Frenzy of Jealousy (Part 2)
"Isn’t that Miss Yue from the Bing Family! I didn’t expect her to come today! Huh, who is that young man sitting next to her? They seem quite intimate!"
As soon as he said this.
Long Zhan practically went mad, turning his head to glare at the man with eyes full of murderous intent.
"Gu Yushan, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"
Gu Yushan laughed, then reached out to pat Long Zhan’s shoulder lightly, saying calmly, "Young Master Long, I think you misunderstand me. Why would I provoke you on purpose? I’m just stating an obvious fact!"
Long Zhan’s eyes turned red, and his breathing became heavy, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
"Say that again if you dare!" Long Zhan said, word by word.
At the same time, a fierce killing intent surged towards Gu Yushan.
Gu Yushan merely shrugged slightly and laughed softly in response.
"Young Master Long, don’t be so quick to anger. I mean no harm! In fact, I came to provide you with information! Don’t you want to know where that young man comes from?"
Long Zhan was stunned for a moment before replying in an extremely cold tone, "Of course I want to know!"
"That’s more like it!" Gu Yushan’s smile became even brighter as he related the story of how Xue An and Yue Qinghuan came to The Drunken Life Pavilion.
After listening, Long Zhan squinted his eyes slightly, "Bead City?"
"Exactly! We at The Drunken Life Pavilion have used almost all our connections, yet we still couldn’t find out anything about this young man’s background, only that he first appeared in Bead City!"
At this point, Gu Yushan’s smile grew even more profound, "And as far as I know, that Miss Yue, whom you always considered your exclusive interest, also disappeared for a while and reappeared in Bead City. What does that suggest?"
Long Zhan was nearly consumed by anger, losing his last shred of rationality, "I want to kill him, no! I want to tear him to pieces bit by bit, so he can never reincarnate!"
Gu Yushan seemed very satisfied with this reaction and said calmly, "Now not only you, but our entire Drunken Life Pavilion is very interested in this young man. However, no matter how much you want to kill him, please don’t do it inside The Drunken Life Pavilion!"
Long Zhan lifted his head abruptly upon hearing this, staring intently at Gu Yushan, "What do you mean by this? After telling me all this, now you’re telling me I can’t kill him?"
"It’s not that you’re not allowed to kill him, but that you can’t do it here! Otherwise, what will happen to the reputation of The Drunken Life Pavilion? Besides, the reason we’re letting him into this killing casino is to see how he can continue to win in a place where strength speaks for everything!"
At that, a cold glint appeared on Gu Yushan’s face.
Long Zhan was taken aback and then said, full of reluctance, "Then what do I do? Just sit here and watch?"
"Of course not!" Gu Yushan gave a sly grin.
"Aren’t you interested in gambling against them in the upcoming rounds?"
By now, Long Zhan was gradually regaining his calmness.
Although he had always been arrogant and domineering, he knew that this Drunken Life Pavilion was not a place he could run amok.
Injuring a servant just now didn’t matter much, but if he dared to defy this Gu Yushan before him, even he would find the consequences unbearable.
He soon nodded, "I see, you want to set a trap for that kid, right?"
"How can you say that? I merely want to test him, to see what he can do!" Gu Yushan smiled radiantly.
"At most, just charge him a trivial interest from the chips he just won."
While the two were talking in the private room.
On the stands, Yue Qinghuan frowned slightly and kept glancing back.
"What’s up?"
"It’s strange. I keep feeling like there’s some inexplicable surveillance around us, but I can’t tell where it’s coming from!"
Xue An chuckled upon hearing this, "Isn’t that normal? With your looks, it’s only natural for people to observe you."
Yue Qinghuan smiled sweetly at this, "Are you complimenting me for being pretty?"
"Doesn’t need complimenting. You’re naturally beautiful!" Xue An replied calmly.
"Hmph, finally showing a flaw. I thought you were a heartless iron man impervious to charm!"
Though she said so, Yue Qinghuan’s expression was clearly delighted.
"Pretty is pretty. I wouldn’t even lie for that! Like that bald guy over there’s head is very round. I think that’s nice too. What’s wrong with that?" Xue An said blandly.
At the mention of being compared to a bald man, Yue Qinghuan’s joy vanished instantly, and she gritted her teeth and muttered, "What a jerk you are!"
Xue An was noncommittal, only smiled.
At this point, Yue Qinghuan suddenly became serious and said, "Hey, seriously though, that probing just now felt different. I feel it seems familiar, and there’s a subtle sense of malice in it."
Xue An smirked, "Malice isn’t surprising. Do you think they’d be happy after we won so much from The Drunken Life Pavilion?"
"You mean The Drunken Life Pavilion is targeting us?"
"That’s for sure!"
Yue Qinghuan immediately became tense, "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and leave!"
Xue An stared ahead and said calmly, "Do you believe that once we step out of The Drunken Life Pavilion, we’ll be surrounded by countless assassins?"
Saying this, he turned back thoughtfully to glance at the private rooms above the stands, with a faint smile.
"So right now, the safest place in the entire Linglong City is right here under our feet at The Drunken Life Pavilion. At least they won’t dare to let anything happen to us here!"
"But can we just stay hidden in this building forever?" Yue Qinghuan asked urgently.
Xue An chuckled and leaned close to Yue Qinghuan’s ear, whispering, "Did you forget the reason we came here?"
Yue Qinghuan froze completely, not even hearing what Xue An was saying.
Because it was the first time Xue An had spoken so closely to her.
Her mind was filled with strange thoughts about what he intended to do, and whether she should resist.
Meanwhile, Xue An sat back down, saying calmly, "As soon as we find out where the Shadow Turtle Race is and uncover the truth behind it all, we can naturally leave!"
Yue Qinghuan nodded, somewhat understanding.
Just then, a loud crash came from the private rooms behind them, accompanied by faint roars.
Many people on the stands were confused, unsure of what had happened.
And at that moment, a gong sounded from the stage, marking the start of the second gambling round.
In an instant, everyone set aside their curiosity and concentrated their attention on the stage.
Only Xue An slightly curled his lips, showing a hint of a cold smile.
Because he knew that, soon, the real show would begin!
