Chapter 415 Unexpected
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang smiled and looked at Ling Yi, signaling with her eyes: "You've achieved your goal."
"Is that so?" Ling Yi chuckled and looked at Young Master Xu. "Then Young Master Xu needs to fulfill his bet even more."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Xu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, looking at Ling Yi with hostility: "Can't you understand human language?"
"I'm already being generous by playing along with you. Do you think you're worthy of me fulfilling the bet?"
"Exactly," someone echoed. "Overestimating their abilities."
Someone even said, "If you're willing to honor the bet, we can help persuade Young Master Xu not to hold it against you, how about that?"
"We're going to honor our bet?" Ye Qingshuang looked at the speaker and sneered, "It's not like we lost, why should we honor our bet?"
Upon hearing this, the person who made the suggestion threatened, "Young lady, I'm trying to help you out of kindness, so don't be ungrateful."
Ye Qingshuang rolled her eyes upon hearing this, too lazy to argue with him, and looked at Ling Yi: "What do you mean?"
If she doesn't act soon, she's about to lose her temper!
“Naturally, we would like to ask Young Master Xu to fulfill the bet, but…” Ling Yi looked at Young Master Xu’s gloomy face and smiled, “Young Master Xu seems unwilling.”
"In that case, I don't mind helping Young Master Xu out."
The moment he finished speaking, Ling Yi raised his hand and swung it horizontally, sending out a burst of power from his fingertips that flew towards Young Master Xu's groin, precisely severing the betting object.
The speed was too fast, and the others had no time to stop it. It wasn't until they heard Young Master Xu's scream that they reacted.
The servant of the Xu family rushed forward to check the injuries. Some of the others in the room went to contact the gambling den to ask for a doctor, some surrounded Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang, and some helped contact the Xu family at the servant's request. Everyone was in a mess, but Ling Yi, who was surrounded by them, sat calmly and naturally, without any fear or worry about retaliation on his face.
Upon learning of the incident upstairs, the gambling den staff quickly arrived with a doctor. After learning what had happened inside, the gambling den sent people to surround the private room. The doctor and Xu's servant were busy treating Young Master Xu, but Ling Yi's precise control of his strength meant it was not as simple as cutting off his arm. After examining the situation, the doctor shook his head, indicating that there was no way to treat him.
When the doctor shook his head, Xu's servant pleaded, "Doctor, you must think of a way!"
If they can't be cured, the master and mistress will definitely not let them off the hook.
"Don't worry." The doctor took out a porcelain bottle from his storage artifact: "There's no cure. Let's just use the Growth Pill."
Upon hearing that the Growth Pill could be used, the Xu family servant breathed a sigh of relief, but his relief was immediately brought up again by the doctor's next words.
The doctor said, "The growth elixir I have is not very good, and its effect may not be satisfactory."
"This..." The servants didn't know how to answer.
Young Master Xu, who was screaming in pain, heard what the doctor said and yelled at the servant, "What are you all standing there for? Send someone to bring over some good growth pills!"
"Yes," a servant replied, and immediately contacted the Xu family.
Seeing that Young Master Xu had managed to find a good growth pill, the doctor put away the pill in his hand and used it to stop the bleeding for Young Master Xu.
Seeing that things could be salvaged, the casino manager breathed a sigh of relief and then walked up to Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang to ask them what had happened.
Before Ling Yi could speak, Ye Qing Shuang brought up the matter of the bet.
After listening, the manager was at a loss for words.
He knew that the young master of the Xu family was absurd, but he never expected him to be this absurd, gambling his chastity and his lower body. He deserved to lose!
Thinking this to himself, the steward dared not say it aloud. Upon learning that the Xu family was on their way, the steward looked at Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang and said, "You have injured Young Master Xu, so you should apologize to him."
Ling Yi looked at the manager: "Taking sides?"
Ling Yi was more than happy to have others get involved.
After all, it takes 5,000 people to upgrade the four spiritual roots and add 1% of the unlocking points, so naturally the more people the better.
The steward choked for a moment upon hearing this. He had indeed taken sides, but with two girls of unknown origin and the prestigious Jin Haicheng family, anyone would have taken sides.
"This suggestion is for your own good." Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang injured the young master of the Xu family at the gambling den, causing trouble for the gambling den. In addition, they did not listen to reason, so the manager's expression turned cold and his tone became impatient: "Don't be ungrateful, otherwise when the Xu family comes, you may not be able to leave this gambling den."
“Simple.” Ling Yi looked at the manager: “Once the gambling den is overturned, we can leave.”
Upon hearing this, the manager's expression turned completely cold: "You've wrecked our Golden Sea Gambling House? You have quite the nerve!"
Ling Yi looked at the steward but did not answer.
The manager said sternly, "I think you've come here on purpose to cause trouble!"
"Looking for trouble?" Ling Yi sneered. "Aren't you trying to take sides?"
Before the manager could speak, Ling Yi said again, "A gambling den is a place for gambling. No matter what the stakes are, once both parties have agreed, they must fulfill the bet. If he lost and is unwilling to fulfill the bet, I cannot take action to collect the bet myself."
"If I can't do it myself, do you expect your gambling den to collect it for me?" Ling Yi said slowly, "If I collect it myself, you'll take my side and then accuse me of being arrogant, making it my fault. Don't you know whether it's my fault or your position as the gambling den manager that's problematic?"
"Sharp-tongued!" the steward said coldly. "Today, even if the master were here, he wouldn't stand up for you, let alone me taking sides. I advised you to apologize to Young Master Xu for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, I won't say anything more. Just wait and see. When the Xu family arrives, they will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Ling Yi said, "I'm waiting."
If it weren't for waiting for the Xu family, she would have looked for them long ago.
Seeing that Ling Yi was oblivious to the danger, the manager snorted coldly and said no more to him. He left someone in the private room to guard Young Master Xu and went downstairs to greet the Xu family.
Ling Yi watched the manager's departing figure with some disappointment.
She talked a big game, but she didn't take the bait. This was a matter between her and the Xu family. Although the manager took sides, he didn't actually involve the gambling den.
Although the gambling den didn't take the bait, the Xu family's side was safe. Thinking this way, Ling Yi felt better and now hoped that more people from the Xu family would come.
About fifteen minutes later, the soundproof barrier was broken, and the door to the private room was kicked open. The exquisite door could not withstand the angry kick and fell to the ground, startling everyone else in the room. When they saw that it was a member of the Xu family, the servants surrounding Young Master Xu immediately stepped forward and said to the leader, "Third Master, please take a look at Second Young Master."
Before the servant could finish speaking, Young Master Xu hurriedly asked, "Third Uncle, the Growth Pill!"
The middle-aged man took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the servant: "Quickly give it to the second young master."
"Yes." The servant took the porcelain bottle and quickly returned to Young Master Xu's side. He opened the bottle and poured out the pills, but before he could say anything, Young Master Xu snatched the pills and swallowed them.
"Young master, slow down..." the servant said worriedly, "Don't choke."
Young Master Xu didn't care. After swallowing the pill, he pointed at the men approaching from Ling Yi and shouted, "Third Uncle, they're the ones who hurt me! Seize them! They dared to hurt me, I'll make them wish they were dead!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Ling Yi. When he saw Ling Yi's appearance, the man frowned. No wonder his nephew had designs on such a face.
She's pretty, but she's ungrateful. It's an honor for her to be noticed by her nephew, but not only does she not appreciate it, she even dares to hurt him.
Without even asking a question, the middle-aged man glanced at Ling Yi and ordered, "Take her down!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang sneered, "No wonder we're all family; we're all unreasonable."
"Right?" The middle-aged man looked at Ye Qingshuang with disdain in his eyes: "In Jinhai City, the Xu family is right!"
"Very good." Ling Yi replied casually. As the Xu family members approached, he raised his hand and waved his hand, sending out a force that flew straight at the young master Xu, whose face was full of hatred.
Young Master Xu was accompanied by servants and people from the gambling den. Because Ling Yi had previously injured Young Master Xu, both the servants and the people from the gambling den were prepared. The moment they saw the force flying towards them, the people from the gambling den immediately tried to intercept it, but they were directly knocked away by the force.
Upon seeing this, two of the Xu family servants shielded their young master, while the others attacked Ling Yi. However, just as they made their move, time slowed down, and Ling Yi bypassed them, grabbing the young master by the neck.
The time slowed down and returned to normal. When the servants of the Xu family and the people from the gambling house saw Ling Yi grab Young Master Xu, they were shocked and hurriedly turned around to save him. But before they could get close, Ling Yi used force and directly crushed Young Master Xu's neck.
"Hai Ping!" Upon seeing this scene, the Third Master of the Xu family's eyes immediately reddened, and his gaze towards Ling Yi was filled with murderous intent: "How dare you!?"
