Yun Yang smiled amicably. "I believe that this favor asked of you is not hard to deliver. Besides, I can help you with other things as well. Come find me after you complete it and we can talk about it in detail."

"I have nothing I need your help for."

The man in white ground his teeth until it almost shattered. "The moment I complete this favor, we will no longer know each other. We will have nothing else to do with each other, no relations.h.i.+p whatsoever."

"A deal is a deal."

"There's no going back."

"Speak."

"It's rather simple actually. I only need you to…"

When the man had heard all that Yun Yang had to say, he was surprised. "Your ultimate goal is only that? My promise is so precious, yet you only want me to kill a single person?"

Yun Yang grinned. "You’re completely right. This isn’t as easy – to me, of course."

"What’s so hard about killing a person?" The man in white scoffed arrogantly.

"I should still remind you then. If you are caught, and you expose me, the deal is off."

He reminded him earnestly, "This is a friendly reminder. No matter when or under what circ.u.mstances that makes you utter my name, then your debt – be it your word or other things - will be mine."

The man dressed in white felt his anger soaring. "Of course."

Yun Yang took the jade pendant and all sort of rare metals out, placing them on the table.

"Please…"

Just as the word left his mouth, Yun Yang stopped abruptly. Although these items still looked like how they used to, Yun Yang could tell that at least ninety-five percent of the spiritual Qi contained within were already gone!

Yun Yang was exasperated. He had only kept them on him for such a short amount of time but Emmie had already devoured the entire lot…

The man in white was obviously beside himself with rage, sweeping everything into his arms without even looking at them and said, "We owe each other nothing from now on! Good bye!"

Yun Yang let out a breath of relief. "Whatever you say. We owe each other nothing then. Remember what you said!"

The man replied, enraged. "I, Bai Yixue, am not someone who reneges his promises and goes back on his words."

He had turned around to leave even before the last few words had left his lips.

Yun Yang heaved a long sigh of relief, "Oh my G.o.d, that was so close!"

Yun Yang’s judgment had told him that this man's level was at least higher than the Dragon of Clouds, Liang Yunqi. If this man were to be infuriated and went head to head with him, he would really be in trouble.

"Emmie, Emmie!"

Yun Yang entered his subconscious with a dark expression. "You…"

"Ayaya…"

Emmie obviously knew that it had been caught red-handed as its soft tendrils wrapped around Yun Yang to placate him. The tip of its tendrils ran around Yun Yang softly to appease him, actually going under his armpits.

It was like a young daughter who knew she had done wrong and was appeasing her father with all the charm she could muster, adorably flattering him, using everything it had without a care for what it was…

"Alright, I lose…" Feeling mollified, his anger dissipating, Yun Yang could only give it an empty threat, "You can’t do that in the future, alright?"

"Ayaya…"

Emmie waved its tendrils and snuggled around Yun Yang intimately.

"Emmie, how far away am I from leveling up?"

"Ayaya…"

"Only several dozen people away? So few?"

"Ayaya…"

Yun Yang exited his subconscious s.p.a.ce gently, a smile on his face and his body light. It was then that he realized the rage he was filled with earlier did not even lash out before it dissolved into nothing…

Emmie’s ability to divert anger was top-notch!

The sudden episode with the man dressed in white ended there and then; Yun Yang s.h.i.+fted his attention back to the gaming tables.

Compared to the unexpected man in white, the foreign generals were today’s real goal!

However, Yun Yang was no longer interested in the wager here – no, perhaps it should be said that Yun Yang had never bothered with the monetary wagers the generals had in the first place!

Those were birds in the hand, it was only a matter of time.

A little while later, a certain someone pa.s.sed an eye signal to Shui Wuyin. The latter nodded slightly without giving anything away.

What followed was the sudden improvement of the four n.o.ble young masters’ skills in the game of chance. It was like they had calculated intricately, winning more than they had lost in every round. Silver taels entered their pockets like rising tides, the generals from other countries were reduced to moans and cries as they howled for their losses.

"You would know my mightiness now? This older brother is just amazing!"

Dong Tianleng was on a winning streak, he had long forgotten about everything else around him. "Brats, all of you remember now – from now on, this older brother is the top G.o.d of Gamblers in the Tianxuan Continent. Don’t call me Dong Tianleng, Young Master Dong or anything else. Please call me by my nickname – Dong Straight Wins!"

"Who are you f*cking calling brats?"

The generals were already enraged from their losses, their pockets dry and empty like they had encountered a drought. Listening to such goading, they erupted like a volcano that had been building up its fury for decades. How could they contain themselves? Of course, they would respond with anger.

Dong Tianleng chuckled. "Whoever whines is the brat. Since so many of you are behaving that way, that’s simpler. All of you here are all brats… and trash."

"Quickly, beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d up!"

The crowd, who suffered tremendous losses, lost their temper as well as they scurried over to attack the infuriating man.

The four n.o.ble young masters showed no compromise as they stepped forward. "Come at us, come…"

The fight was a mess, chaotic as a spinning whirlwind.

The four great young masters were swollen with bruises all over but the foreign generals did not fare any better.

They knew that this was a battle among gamblers, so no one went all out. After all, everyone knew each other’s background. If anything serious were to happen, the consequences would be grave.

Therefore, all of them held back their attacks– in fact, they were very, very restrained.

No matter how restrained they were though, the Towering Wind Pavilion Casino was devastated. Even though no one had exerted their full strength, the ripples were still sufficient to tear the entire place down!

This ending was not exactly surprising but the incident that followed was beyond anyone's expectations. Everyone was stupefied with what ensued.

With a loud crash, a group of people charged into the casino, the spears and sabers in their hands glinting icily, exuding killing intent. "n.o.body move!"

It was the royal guards.

Shui Wuyin was drenched in cold sweat as he said, "We’re just friends jesting with friends, it’s nothing big… nothing big at all…"

The royal guards did not heed his words as they ordered frankly, "Tie everyone up, bring them back for interrogation!"

While the generals were still dumbfounded at the sudden intrusion, the royal guards pounced on them like preying tigers.

It was a dozen men against one, the one had to be cautious and careful not to retaliate all the more; the situation was easily a landslide – the four n.o.ble young masters, the foreign generals, and anyone involved in the fight were all tied instantly like dumplings before they were escorted out.

"Where’s Yun Yang? Where has Young Master Yun gone to?"

The generals who were caught began to regain their senses and hollered after the rascal, but Great Young Master Yun, who had been standing by the door, was long gone!

…

Yun Yang was sprinting back to the Tower To Heaven Inn, knocking the door open with a loud bang. The old generals who were seated in the discussion were all startled. "What has happened?"

"It’s bad… no, no… it’s really bad…" Yun Yang was heaving as he huffed and puffed, saying, "The generals were gambling in the casino but they started fighting after losing too much… The ruckus was too noisy and alarmed the royal guards. Now they've all been caught…"

A dead silence greeted his words.

Everyone looked at Yun Yang with their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, digesting the shocking news brought by the man. No one dared believe what they had heard.

"They've all been caught by the royal guards?" the Empire of Ziyou’s old marshal had his beard trembling. "Since when did the royal guards bother with such a petty matter?"

Yun Yang said anxiously, "All of you must quickly think of a way… Save them… This is bad…"

Han Sanhe, who had regained his calm after the initial shock, looked at Yun Yang with a hidden smile. "Young Master Yun, you were the one to bring them out yet you just watched them get caught? Is this how you treat your guests? Or should I say, is this how Empire of Yutang treats their guests?"

Yun Yang cried as if he had been terribly wronged, "Old Marshal Han, you can’t simply accuse someone! What does this have to do with me? The cause of this is because they started a fight? The royal guards were only doing their job. I’m just a popinjay… Even if I were to be an official in the imperial court, I can’t ignore my conscience and forcefully stop people from doing their jobs, can I?"

His phrasing of words was flawlessly executed, it was righteous and justified. Not only did he impeccably place himself beyond the entire incident, he had even sung praises of himself as well as complimented the impartiality of Yutang’s officials.

"F*ck me, this fellow is a two-faced snake; he has said everything there is to be said!" The old generals were chiding themselves internally.

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He had thumped his chest like he was the most capable man in the world like he could do anything without mishap; there would be nothing wrong as long as he was here. Now that something had actually happened, he would just say "I’m just a popinjay…".

He had cleanly pushed everything aside, claiming that he was helpless – what a f*cker!

Everyone was certain of one thing – the cause of this had to be Yun Yang! Only a man without a conscience could do something like this.

Only an outstanding host would be able to entertain his guests all the way to prison!
