After Mu Liufeng left, Ling Chuxi frowned. So, it seems like the handsome man scheme that took place just now was not as simple as she and Lan Xinyu had thought it was. It turns out that the people from the gambling house were targeting her! But thinking about it, it was not that odd. She and the rest of her group had indeed placed large bets. That’s right, even Gao Wentian had placed a bet! Could it be that he had placed even more after his initial one? If he did, was that what caused the people from the gambling house to so urgently seek people out to deal with her?
Now Ling Chuxi finally understood why that man had such a strong cologne smell on his body. When she thought about it, the girls from the brothels also seemed to have this kind of scent on them. This meant that the feminine, handsome man at her table just now was a gigolo! However, this gigolo’s IQ really made one anxious. He had actually recognized the wrong person to such a degree! How exactly were she and the big sister at all alike or had anything in common? He had actually managed to get the wrong person by such a wide margin.
“So it turned out to be something orchestrated by the gambling house. Hmph! Dream on!” muttered Lan Xinyu angrily and a little worriedly by the side. “Then, Chuxi, you better be more careful these days. I think that the people from the gambling house will not let things go so easily.”
“All right,” agreed Ling Chuxi with a nod. This time, the handsome man scheme failed because of a mess up, but who knows what the people from the gambling house would do the next time round?
“However, Chuxi, who was that person just now? How come he has the same name as Teacher Mu?” Lan Xinyu asked, feeling very perplexed.
“Ah?” Ling Chuxi was stunned for a moment before she managed to react. Mu Liufeng had always worn a mask in the past when he was a teacher at White Stone Academy so other people did not know how he really looked. Now that he had shown himself with his real face, Lan Xinyu could not recognize him. In the past, it seemed like Lan Xinyu really admired Mu Liufeng, right? Now that they had met again, she was actually unable to recognize him. What did this indicate? It indicated that Lan Xinyu merely admired Mu Liufeng and that it was not the kind of admiration held between a man and a woman. Perhaps it was simply that she was worshipful towards a strong cultivator.
“What was that ‘ah’ for? Could it be that he is your lover?” teased Lan Xinyu as she squinted at Ling Chuxi and started to giggle. Her interest was piqued. “From the looks of it, the both of you are very familiar with each other. Tell me honestly, who is he to you?”
Ling Chuxi was speechless as she waved her hand in annoyance. “He is a pervert. Nothing else. You don’t need to bother about it. Lover? Your head! You think too much. In the finals, your lover will be the one who is my opponent. When that time comes, do you hope that I will win or that he will?” Ling Chuxi once again confirmed that Lan Xinyu’s feelings toward Mu Liufeng were purely worship.
“Naturally, I hope that you win of course,” said Lan Xinyu but then as if her conviction was getting a little weak, she meekly added on, “Anyway, just be merciful. You are so fierce when you fight…”
“Lan Xinyu, do you want to die? So, you’re a person who places lovers over friends?!” snapped Ling Chuxi as she broke the snack in her hand with a crack. “Do you believe me when I say that I’ll let you experience what fierce really means right now?!”
…
After returning to the residence, Ling Chuxi and Lan Xinyu told everyone about the botched handsome man scheme. The rest of the group’s expressions darkened after they heard what happened. Fu Chengyu snorted and said, “Truly, this is their dirty way of doing things. Chuxi, you have to be more careful if you’re on your own these next few days.”
“Yes, for sure,” agreed Ling Chuxi with a nod.
“As the saying goes, they are truly behaving like an anxious dog leaping over the wall,” said Xia Zhuoyi with a snort. “What should we do? Should we go and deal with them?”
“Don’t take any action first,” replied Fu Chengyu as he frowned slightly. Other people might not know, but he knew that behind the gambling house, there was someone who was backing them. It was definitely not that simple a matter.
“Anyway, just be more careful within this period of time. Let’s wait till the competition is over before we discuss this again,” said Fu Chengyu seriously.
Seeing Fu Chengyu’s seriousness, Ling Chuxi understood that the entire matter was likely not as simple as they all thought it to be. So, she solemnly agreed.
