Chapter 1023: Chapter 1025: Completely Fearless
"Dragon Group?" Tang Xin looked confused.
Nangong Man Sha saw her like this, clearly she didn’t know.
She awkwardly glanced at Long Ang, "Ahem, it’s nothing. Tang Xin, don’t you know how to gamble stones? Co, I’ll take you for a round."
Long Ang wisely didn’t continue the conversation. The na Dragon Group is primarily related to cultivation, and seeing Tang Xin as an ordinary person, it’s normal she doesn’t know.
Moreover, he’s no longer part of the Dragon Group, so introducing himself as a forr Group Leader would be problematic.
Perhaps Nangong Man Sha realized this too, so she changed the subject and took Tang Xin to gamble stones.
Nangong Man Sha led Tang Xin to a relatively less crowded table. The surrounding onlookers hadn’t noticed Nangong Man Sha’s arrival yet.
Tang Xin tugged on Nangong Man Sha’s sleeve, curiously asking, "Why does this place seem different from the usual gambling stone fields?"
Nangong Man Sha nodded, "Indeed, the rules here are different from other gambling stone fields. Mr. Chu wanted other spectators to participate, so he introduced a betting system."
Just like a regular casino, but here the dice is replaced with stones.
Two people gamble, others place bets. Whoever’s stone cos out with the best quality wins.
Tang Xin suddenly understood, "Mr. Chu surely has a remarkable mind."
Nangong Man Sha’s voice had a unique charm. After she spoke, the surrounding people heard it.
Since the opening days of the gambling stone field when Nangong Man Sha showed up, she hadn’t been seen. Even if she occasionally appeared, it was brief.
Seeing Nangong Man Sha with a young and beautiful girl at the table naturally excited so to greet her warmly.
"Miss Man Sha, it’s been a while since you’ve visited, hasn’t it?"
If Nangong Man Sha hadn’t shown up at the gambling stone field again, they might have started questioning the rumors that the Nangong Family was behind it.
Nangong Man Sha smiled enchantingly, her eyes glistened as she said, "What, if I don’t co, you all won’t want to gamble stones anymore?"
Her voice was as gentle as water, lting the hearts of any man who heard it.
"No, no, no. Even if Miss Man Sha doesn’t co, we’d still co daily for your sake."
"Exactly, exactly."
"Does Miss Man Sha feel like playing a ga today?"
Soone suddenly suggested.
Nangong Man Sha flirtatiously glanced at the person and lightly curved her lips, saying, "I won’t play, but I brought a friend. My friend here is also a stone gambling expert. Does anyone dare challenge her?"
Once Nangong Man Sha finished speaking, all eyes turned to Tang Xin.
Coming from an affluent family, she wasn’t intimidated by so many stares. Even if she wasn’t as extraordinary as Nangong Man Sha described, she was renowned in stone gambling both in Su City and the Capital City. Gamble stones? She had no fear.
So when Nangong Man Sha introduced her, Tang Xin confidently lifted her chin, looking very sure of herself.
The surrounding people might have been dressed modestly, but Tang Xin sensed an extraordinary aura from them.
She had seen this aura before from her senior brothers in the Tang Sect.
Curious, Tang Xin lowered her voice and quietly asked, "Miss Man Sha, could these people all be Ancient Martial Artists?"
Nangong Man Sha laughed and explained, "Most are. From the start, Mr. Chu’s gambling stone field had a majority of Ancient Martial Artists because the place is filled with Spiritual Energy. Even here underground, where it’s airtight, it doesn’t feel stuffy—it even feels sowhat refreshing."
If Nangong Man Sha hadn’t pointed it out, Tang Xin wouldn’t have sensed this subtle change.
After hearing this, Tang Xin realized her chest, which had felt slightly oppressive, no longer felt that way. Her head, which had been a bit heavy from the flight, was now much better.
"Really, Miss Man Sha, if you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed."
Tang Xin said with surprise and delight.
"That’s why so people drive two hours just to gamble stones." Nangong Man Sha said, then her gaze landed on a figure in the crowd.
"Isn’t that right, Young Master Yu Wen."
Indeed, the one who had been silently trying to minimize his presence in the crowd was Yuwen Kangli.
But today, he wasn’t here to gamble stones; he was here to find Chu Ge, for his grandfather, for the Earth Ganoderma.
Because of his purpose, he felt helpless and weak, so he hesitated to reveal his identity, quietly staying with the crowd, watching them gamble stones, and patiently waiting for Chu Ge to arrive.
He didn’t expect Nangong Man Sha to recognize him at a glance upon arrival.
Yuwen Kangli awkwardly coughed, then cheerfully erged from the crowd, saying, "Miss Man Sha, can you recognize
from the crowd at a glance? Are you especially interested in ?"
Nangong Man Sha’s lips curved faintly to the side. Although she didn’t like Yuwen Kangli, as he often bullied Nangong Yunhai, her grandfather’s influence in business dealings with Yuwen’s family made her reluctant to break ties with him externally.
"Young Master Yuwen, you jest. You’re so striking; it’s hard not to notice you in the crowd."
Nangong Man Sha said softly.
Suddenly, Tang Xin burst into a chuckle, unable to suppress it, and others echoed with light laughter.
Tang Xin discerned from Nangong Man Sha’s words her dissatisfaction and disdain for Yuwen Kangli.
To Yuwen Kangli, the laughter was humiliating.
His face turned dark imdiately, "You all shut up! What’s so funny!"
Tang Xin lightly coughed, "There’s nothing funny. We laughed because it’s laughable soone is a joke yet stops others from laughing!"
Yuwen Kangli glared angrily at Tang Xin. While he dared not offend Nangong Man Sha, he certainly wasn’t afraid of Tang Xin!
He hadn’t seen Tang Xin in the Capital City, assuming she was from a small family or an outsider, so he felt no fear.
"Where’s this wild girl from, daring to speak to
that way? Do you know who I am?"
Yuwen Kangli looked at Tang Xin with a disdainful gaze, his tone becoming aggressive.
Tang Xin imdiately understood Yuwen Kangli saw her as an easy target...
