A powerful force like Dragon God Fortress could wipe out Sixbet Casino with a mere yawn.
Moreover, a martial arts conference is being held in Yongzhou, bringing together heroes from all walks of life.
Most of the wandering heroes in the martial arts world are masters of killing one person in eighteen battles and leaving no trace for a thousand miles.
That's not someone a gambling den owner can mess with.
Miao Youfang laughed and said, "Making friends is fine, and you can leave if you want me to, but there's something I'd like to ask you, Second Master."
The middle-aged man looked at him with a detached expression.
Miao Youfang rubbed his dark face and asked:
"When I first arrived in Yongzhou City, yesterday, I passed by the government office and saw a woman burning paper money and wailing. The clerks of the government office drove her away and beat her."
“I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I asked what happened. The woman said that her husband’s name was Zhang Hei and he liked to gamble. Not long ago, Zhang Hei was killed on his way back from the gambling den, and all his money disappeared.”
The middle-aged man's face turned cold, and his gaze gradually turned icy: "What do you want to say?"
Miao Youfang stared at him: "The woman said that the night watchman saw the murderer's appearance and that it was someone from the Liubo gambling den. Originally, the watchman planned to testify in court, but for some reason, he changed his mind."
Miao Youfang leaned forward, looking into the middle-aged man's eyes:
"Today I gathered some information, such as that Zhang Hei is a good gambler and often wins money at the Liubo gambling den. He won more than two hundred taels of silver at the gambling den that day. Also, the night watchman changed his mind because he received a sum of money from you as hush money."
The middle-aged man slowly stood up. He was a head taller than Miao Youfang, and looking down at him disdainfully, he said:
"Kid, what do you want to say? What do you want to do? Seek justice for Zhang Hei? Go to the yamen and sue me?"
Miao Youfang shook his head: "The government won't get involved in this matter, because you've already taken care of everything."
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, his face full of disdain and mockery: "Since you know..."
A cold glint flashed in his pupils, and then he saw the mist of blood spurting from his own neck.
The middle-aged man clutched his neck and staggered towards the door. After a few steps, he fell to the ground, struggled wildly for a few moments, and then fell silent.
Miao Youfang carefully sheathed the dagger, picked up the purple clay teapot, poured the boiling tea over his hands, then wiped the blood from his face with his soaked hands, and said calmly:
"Paying back debts and paying back murderers are both fundamental principles."
If the government won't take care of it, I will.
Qingxingyuan (Green Apricot Garden).
In the lobby on the first floor, Li Chang'an and his group were discussing Miao Youfang's matter with Gongsun Xiangyang.
Gongsun Xiangyang was a well-known figure in the Jianghu of Yongzhou, and no strange or unusual event in the Jianghu could escape his eyes.
"Senior Li, that dark-skinned kid has been incredibly lucky lately, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds."
“Recently, he’s been causing quite a stir in Yongzhou City, but he hasn’t done anything wrong.”
"Moreover, he is being pursued by a group of experts, including several fourth-rank masters."
Upon hearing this story, Li Chang'an knew that the main dragon energy had not been lost and was still with Miao Youfang.
"Presumably, this Miao Youfang, who is at the Refining Spirit Realm, has managed to escape the pursuit of this group of people in a way that surprised everyone."
Gongsun Xiangyang cupped his hands and said, "Senior Li is indeed wise; that is the truth."
Xu Qi'an, with a blade of grass in his mouth, squatted on the chair and chuckled.
"This kid's got some interesting skills."
"A seventh-rank expert managing to evade several fourth-rank masters, that's cheating, isn't it?"
"Ning Yan, what is meant by 'cheating'?" Chu Yuanzhen asked.
"He's incredibly lucky; he's most likely a dragon energy host."
Gongsun Xiangyang said, "That kid went out to pee at night and ran into a courtesan in distress."
"He casually saved the courtesan's life, and she repaid him with her body. Recently, they have been getting very close."
Li Lingsu stared blankly and said in a daze, "I suddenly feel a little envious of the dragon energy host..."
Li Chang'an himself is a dragon energy radar, and his scanning range is extremely wide.
With a slight sense, he detected the location of the dragon's aura host.
"Go and take a look in the southern part of the city. Just follow Mr. Gongsun's information and go to the Jiaofangsi or brothels."
Li Miaozhen said, "I'll go too. The four of us are fourth-rank officials; we should be able to handle that group."
Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Since Patriarch Gongsun was able to find out, presumably that group of people can find out as well."
"Go quickly and return immediately, capture Miao Youfang, but do not harm him."
Following the directions given by Li Chang'an, Li Miaozhen, Li Lingsu, Chu Yuanzhen, and Xu Qi'an left Qingxing Garden.
As soon as the group left, the Imperial Preceptor's voice transmission came through Li Chang'an's primordial spirit.
"Li Lang, come up to the fourth floor, I miss you."
His words were sentimental and contained a faint sadness.
"I'm going out to eat with Caiwei, I'll come and keep you company this afternoon."
"The time I can't spend with Li Lang will be very long."
Li Chang'an smiled and took Chu Caiwei out to find some delicious food.
"Caiwei, where is Bai Ji?"
Chu Caiwei said with a relaxed expression, "Ever since the Imperial Advisor appeared, she has been sticking to him."
There's nothing we can do; the Imperial Advisor is just that outstanding.
After having a hearty meal with Chu Caiwei, Li Chang'an returned to Qingxing Garden.
There are many pavilions in Qingxingyuan, the tallest of which is a four-story building.
In the bar on the fourth floor.
On the soft mat, Luo Yuheng nestled in Li Chang'an's arms, wearing a long Taoist robe, her breasts half-exposed, her hair disheveled.
Her face was flushed, her eyes were alluring, and the sorrow between her brows seemed to find its satisfaction.
Li Chang'an held a wine cup in one hand and had his arm around the National Preceptor's shoulder with the other.
Luo Yuheng took the wine cup from his hand, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed softly:
"I raise my cup and get drunk alone, then the snow falls, and another year has passed in a daze."
Li Chang'an smiled faintly, "Yuheng, time has no meaning for us, has it?"
Luo Yuheng raised her pretty face, her eyes trembling, clearly moved by those words.
"Yes, with Li Lang, I can strive to become a terrestrial immortal."
"I want to be a divine couple with Li Lang."
As Luo Yuheng spoke, sorrow suddenly welled up in his eyes again.
"Before I met you, I was often filled with anxiety. I thought my fate was likely to be fleeting, like a flash in the pan, and that when the flames of karma struck, I would be shattered to pieces."
"If one is unlucky enough to be possessed and corrupted by evil thoughts, the consequences would be unimaginable..."
As Luo Yuheng spoke, he began to tremble with fear.
What a terrible person!
Pessimism spread, oh dear!
"Life is only once. I haven't even met my lover yet, and I'm about to turn into ashes. I'm so unwilling to accept this."
This imperial advisor is a female literary youth!
When talking to a female literary youth, a careless remark may touch a sensitive spot in her heart.
"But God brought me to you."
"I met a man whose cultivation and spiritual power are far superior to mine..."
"Knowing that you have great fortune, I had already secretly decided that you were the one."
"If there is any man in this world who can make me willingly give myself to him, it is only you, Li Lang."
Li Chang'an looked out the window indifferently. "Oh? I didn't realize that."
"My beloved Li Lang!" Luo Yuheng cried out, tears welling in his eyes.
Li Chang'an thought to himself, "This state is just like that of a young girl who has watched a Qiong Yao romance drama."
One sentence made her feel anxious and fearful.
"Li Lang, you must believe me."
“You are so powerful, with cultivation and knowledge far surpassing mine. If I were to rashly propose dual cultivation, you would look down on me even more.”
"I was happy to receive the cultivation technique and the imperial seal from you, but I couldn't help but want to show them off to you so that you would care about me and pay attention to me."
"When you absorbed the jade seal that time, I was actually quite relieved. That's great, now there's no reason not to cultivate together with you..."
"Back then, when you pinned me down on the bed, my body went limp, and I really wanted to close my eyes and make love to you..."
Li Chang'an began to cover his face, wondering if the Grand Preceptor's main personality, upon hearing these words, would dig a hole and bury itself in it.
