Chapter 164 Shao Bai (13)
I had heard Ye Dingzhi mention the name Yi Wenjun before, and now it seems that this Yi Wenjun is the person he mentioned.
However, she seemed to recall that King Jingyu had a principal wife, and even if a concubine married into the family, she couldn't call herself King Jingyu's wife!
"If you could leave here, would you be willing?" Wangyou thought for a moment and still asked, because from her words, Wangyou felt that she was very conflicted, wanting to leave but not really wanting to leave.
"I want to, I dream about it." Yi Wenjun smiled slightly.
"But if you leave, it's like slapping the royal family in the face. Your father, your senior brother, and even the entire Shadow Sect might not have a good ending. How can you leave then?" Wangyou decided to shatter her beautiful fantasy.
As expected, Yi Wenjun's face turned extremely pale. She didn't know what to choose, and she couldn't bear to watch her father and senior brothers die one by one. She couldn't remain indifferent.
"Also, how will you make a living after you leave? Will you wander the martial world? If you don't have high enough martial arts skills, the martial world is not suitable for you, especially for pretty girls."
"Aren't you in the martial arts world?"
“I am fourteen years old this year, and I have been in the Divine Travel Realm for a long time. As for you, you are at most in the Vajra Mortal Realm!” Wangyou’s words were not sarcastic, but a fact.
"Furthermore, once you escape, you'll need money for food, drink, and even basic necessities. How will you earn enough money to survive?"
"I...I don't know." Yi Wenjun was confused. She just wanted to escape this puppet-like life, but she had never considered how she would live if she left here.
"And the worst-case scenario is that you lose your father's and senior brother's lives, and you are eventually caught and brought back. Do you know what you will face then?"
"what?"
"The best outcome would be to continue to be accepted by Prince Jingyu, but you would probably become a concubine rather than a consort. The worst outcome would be that you would likely be sent to the army. I believe your senior brother knows something about what happens to the women sent to the army."
Yi Wenjun's face was extremely pale. These were things she had never imagined. She had grown up in luxury and could not fathom what life would be like.
"Miss, it's better to rely on yourself than on others, and better to rely on yourself than to pray to gods and Buddhas. Instead of sighing and looking worried every day, why not enjoy the present moment? Besides, you can go out, so you don't have to lock yourself in this little courtyard."
"A visible wall is not scary; what is scary is building a high wall in your heart."
After Wangyou finished speaking, she turned to look at Ye Dingzhi. Ye Dingzhi had already woken up and had naturally heard what Wangyou said.
"You're awake? If you're awake, come with me. I'll take you to beat someone up. You dare to hit someone I protect?" Wangyou said angrily.
“His injuries haven’t healed yet, and this place is safe and suitable for him to recuperate,” Yi Wenjun said as she walked over.
Who wouldn't like a gentle and beautiful girl? But Wangyou always knew very well that beauty, at any time, is a dead end when it comes to being alone.
Just like her, she knows exactly what she looks like, so the first thing she does in every world is to improve her combat strength. She can learn other things slowly, but her combat strength must be guaranteed.
You can be lazy and do nothing in the small world, but your combat strength absolutely cannot be low.
"Do you remember who were the people who tried to kill you?" Wangyou asked after thinking for a moment.
"There were two groups of people who tried to kill me. One group was the people from Tianwaitian I met on the day of the big exam. They said I was also born with a martial vein and wanted to take me away. The other group, I suspect, was from the Azure King's people." Ye Dingzhi saw that Wangyou had asked, so he answered directly, not minding that there were people around.
“If you’re one of the Green King’s men, then your identity has been exposed. The Green King is afraid you’ll kill him, so he’s striking first. By the way, I saw the Emperor’s men when I went out this morning, but I ignored them!” Wangyou found a chair and sat down.
"It seems they want to test my attitude before deciding how to deal with you!" Wangyou said with a strange sense of schadenfreude.
"Don't gloat." Ye Dingzhi said helplessly. This young girl doesn't have so many gossipy thoughts.
"I didn't." Wangyou turned her head away from Ye Dingzhi and looked at Yi Wenjun instead.
"Sister Wenjun, have you ever been to Qianjintai?"
"No, I've only heard about it."
"Why don't you come with me? I'll take you to Qianjintai for a stroll. Do you want to come?"
"Can... I do it?"
"Of course! Come on, you cool guy over there, keep an eye on Ye Dingzhi for me. I'm taking your junior sister with me!" Wangyou grabbed Yi Wenjun and flew away.
"Stop chasing, you can't catch up." Ye Dingzhi called out to Luo Qingyang. Now he knew where they were, and there were some things he wanted to know as well.
“There are people following us,” Yi Wenjun said excitedly.
"Don't worry about so much, just play with me. I haven't gambled in a long time, I don't know if my skills have become rusty." Wangyou pulled Yi Wenjun through the crowd, and Yi Wenjun was obviously not used to it.
"Come on, place your bets now!"
"Odah, big big!"
"Bet on small, small small small!"
"Ugh, we lost again!"
"Pay up, pay up."
The casino was bustling with noise and filled with all sorts of unpleasant smells.
Once they reached the second floor, the atmosphere improved considerably, and Yi Wenjun's expression wasn't as unpleasant.
“Sister Wenjun, look at the people below. Most of them are ordinary gamblers, that is, common gamblers. When they are blinded by gambling, they sell their children, and even pawn their wives and children.”
How do you know so much?
“Of course, I’ve been wandering the martial world for a long time. When I first came to the world of ordinary people, I wasn’t used to it either, because I hate crowded environments. But look at me now, how well I’ve adapted.” Wangyou smiled and pulled Yi Wenjun into a small private room. The betting game officially started at this point.
Although it was a small private room, there were quite a few people inside, but everyone was betting in a rather refined manner.
Wangyou took out two thousand taels of silver notes and went straight to the table to gamble, while Yi Wenjun watched with some worry.
Seeing two beautiful young women in the private room, some people had designs on them, but no one dared to, because the rules of Qianjintai were very strict. If no one made a move inside, it was uncertain what would happen outside. However, Wangyou wasn't afraid.
Wangyou and Yi Wenjun played five rounds in total, winning every single one. The two thousand taels of silver notes quickly multiplied more than tenfold.
"You cheated!"
"You're the one cheating! If you can't handle it, don't play. It's embarrassing." Wangyou sat in her chair, smiling as she looked at the dealer opposite her. "Want to continue?"
"I'll bet you!" A voice came from the doorway, followed by a dark, chubby figure—it was none other than Boss Tu, who had been so sarcastic on the day of the big exam.
Initially, because this person was just being sarcastic, the medicine I prescribed only lasted for one day. After that, I could continue taking the medicine as usual, and now it seems like he's almost fully recovered.
Boss Tu clearly recognized Wangyou, after all, he had also been to the examination hall that day, and Wangyou was very outspoken and made no attempt to hide his true intentions.
Boss Tu suddenly found himself in a difficult situation!
