Chapter 624: Jin Ban Hua: Perhaps I Know Something?

Black Pearl stared indifferently at Leng Qiuhun.

Leng Qiuhun wanted to put up a tough front, but his opponent's martial arts skills forced him to speak first. "Since you want to gamble, I'll gladly oblige. However, may I ask for your esteemed name? Surely you wouldn't withhold it from me?"

Regardless, Leng Qiuhun wanted to find out more about his opponent before deciding how to respond.

But Black Pearl replied coldly, "I have no name."

Leng Qiuhun didn't want to gamble, but as he saw Black Pearl narrowing her eyes and tightening her grip on the whip, he forced a laugh and said, "But you've come from afar, and I wouldn't want to disappoint you."

"What would you like to wager?" asked Leng Qiuhun.

"Let's gamble with dice!" Black Pearl proposed.

"The stake..." Leng Qiuhun had only uttered two words when Black Pearl took out another jade tablet. It was lustrous and flawless.

Leng Qiuhun couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "What would you like to wager with this jade tablet?"

"I'm wagering for you," Black Pearl said coldly. "If I win, you'll come with me."

Leng Qiuhun was stunned. He didn't understand what Black Pearl meant. He glanced at her age and then at the jade tablet on the table.

He knew that even if he didn't gamble, if the youth in black wanted him to go with him, he would have no choice but to comply.

Since his opponent had confidently made this request, he would win and not break his promise.

This way, he would not only be safe, but he would also win a jade tablet worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Why not do it?

"Deal! I'm in," Leng Qiuhun nodded firmly.

The following events followed the original plot.

As expected, Leng Qiuhun was a master of Qianmen. After Black Pearl requested to bet on the small as the winning number, he easily placed the dice into the dice cup, shook it by his ear, and then slammed it onto the gambling table.

He slowly lifted the hand holding the dice cup, and everyone in the hall saw the six dice lying quietly in the cup, all showing one pip.

"Nice!"

"Well done, Leng!"

"He's got this in the bag!"

Everyone congratulated him, and Leng Qiuhun heaved a sigh of relief, a proud smile curling up the corners of his mouth.

"Your move," Leng Qiuhun said, gesturing with an open hand and a slight smile.

"Alright!" Black Pearl nodded and then whipped out her whip.

Leng Qiuhun was startled, thinking Black Pearl was about to hit him, but she coiled the whip around one of the dice and then released it.

"Swish—"

The dice flew through the air and embedded itself in the pinkish-white wall, barely revealing one face—a one pip.

The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Black Pearl didn't even pause; she flicked her wrist, and the dice in front of Leng Qiuhun flew out one by one, nailing themselves into the wall in the same position as the first die.

And so...

When Black Pearl had thrown all six dice, there was still only one pip showing on the wall.

Black Pearl looked at Leng Qiuhun and said indifferently, "I have only one pip on all six dice. You lose."

Leng Qiuhun's face turned ashen, and cold sweat dripped from his temples. He couldn't help but cry out, "This doesn't count!"

Black Pearl sneered, "Are you trying to back out now?"

Black Pearl whipped out her whip, and Leng Qiuhun drew his sword, but it was immediately knocked out of his hand.

Black Pearl said coldly, "You lost. Now come with me."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the corner, "Please hold on, both of you. I'd also like to gamble with this friend here."

Chu Liuxiang appeared.

Leng Qiuhun felt like he had just received a pardon. He quickly said, "If Zhang wants to join the gamble as well, that's wonderful."

Chu Liuxiang neither agreed nor disagreed. He only asked Black Pearl, "Are you from the desert?"

Black Pearl's expression changed drastically. "Who are you?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled slightly. "I'm like you; I've forgotten my name."

"He's a medicinal herb merchant from Changbai Mountain. His name is Zhang Xiaolin, and he's quite skilled in martial arts. He also likes to gamble, but his preferences are a bit eccentric. After a big beauty from the Tianxing Gang slept with him, she acted as if she had seen a ghost when she saw him."

Jin Ban Hua stepped forward and said, "Perhaps I know something?"

Black Pearl stared at him, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she looked at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but reach up and rub his nose, unconsciously arguing, "Brother Jin only knows one side of the story. I didn't do anything to Miss Shen."

Jin Ban Hua waved his hand nonchalantly. "What you two have is none of my business. You don't need to explain it to me."

Chu Liuxiang, "...'

Chu Liuxiang suddenly found it exhausting to talk to Jin Ban Hua.

So he turned to Black Pearl instead. "Let's gamble with the dice again. Still, the smaller the number, the better. I wonder if you'd be willing to bet with me?"

Black Pearl's eyes flickered, and she asked, "What's the wager...?"

Chu Liuxiang replied casually, "If you lose, I will, of course, have to take this jade tablet with me. That young man in black doesn't need to follow you anymore. Additionally, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

A slight lift of Black Pearl's eyebrow, "What if I win?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly, "If I lose, I'll tell you what's on your mind."

Black Pearl's expression changed drastically, "How do you know what I want to ask about?"

Chu Liuxiang laughed, "Maybe I know."

Black Pearl interrupted, "Alright, I'll take that bet."

Chu Liuxiang's appearance was due to the flying camel embroidered on Black Pearl's cloak.

Black Pearl agreed because she wanted to find out where Zamuhe was.

She had come to Jinan because Zamuhe had mentioned meeting the West Gate Thousand of the Cinnabar Gate, and her confrontation with the Beggar's Sect was also due to the letter Zamuhe had received, which was related to the Beggar's Sect.

And then Chu Liuxiang threw the dice.

Before that, Leng Qiuhun had thrown a six, and Black Pearl had nailed a die to the wall, showing a one. Chu Liuxiang, on the other hand, snapped his fingers one by one, shattering all six dice in mid-air, resulting in zero points.

Leng Qiuhun clapped and laughed, while Black Pearl's face turned pale.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "I have zero points on all six dice. I suppose you've lost."

Black Pearl's gaze at Chu Liuxiang flickered, shifting from anger to regret, admiration, and astonishment.

The next moment, Black Pearl whipped her arm, sweeping everyone out of the room. Leng Qiuhun tried to stop her but ended up getting lashed by the whip and fled in a panic, officially exiting the scene.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Now that everyone's gone, surely you can admit defeat?"

Black Pearl said coldly, "What do you want to ask? Go ahead."

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Jin Ban Hua, thinking that he already knew quite a bit. So he asked directly, "I don't know if you've seen the letter your father received before he entered the pass. What was written in that letter?"

Black Pearl's eyes turned icy, "How do you know who my father is? How do you know he entered the pass? And how do you know he received a letter before he did so?"

"Don't forget, it's my turn to ask the questions now."

"You've already asked, and now it's my turn."

"But you haven't answered my question. How can I answer yours?"

"I only agreed to let you ask me a few questions. I didn't say I would definitely answer them."

Chu Liuxiang was truly stunned and couldn't help but laugh, "I've always wondered who the most unreasonable person in the world is, and now I know."

Black Pearl said coldly, "You've asked your question, and you can take the jade tablet. I've also let Leng Qiuhun go. Our bet is settled, and now it's your turn to answer my question."

Chu Liuxiang shook his head and smiled, "What if I don't answer?"

Black Pearl said only one word, "Die."

Chu Liuxiang laughed again, "What if I refuse to die?"

Black Pearl glared at him and shouted, "If you don't die, I will!"

Just as Black Pearl was about to make her move, Jin Ban Hua spoke up.

"Perhaps I can answer your question."
