"Hmm?"
The surrounding people raised an eyebrow, hinting that Xu Fan seed very familiar with Lu Jiuzhi's background...
If it were soone else, this might not be surprising, but this was Lu Jiuzhi.
Among all those present, none could recount the origins of Lu Jiuzhi's title!
Even Lu Jiuzhi himself fell silent for a mont.
After taking another look at Xu Fan, he finally spoke.
"Young man, do you know ?"
"Why should I know you? I just wanted to remind you not to forget the oath you swore in the past."
This ntion of an oath from the past caused Lu Jiuzhi's face to change color instantly.
Returning to the Jianghu after breaking his fingers was already a violation of his past vows, not to ntion the trick he had just played on Xu Fan...
This...
Unable to help himself, Lu Jiuzhi looked Xu Fan over again; he was desperate to know the youth's background.
Why he knew the origins of his na, why he was aware of the oath he had sworn.
Who the hell was this guy...
"Hmph, young man, stop the nonsense. Today, there's no way I'll let you leave here unscathed!"
The more he thought, the more confused Lu Jiuzhi beca, so he decisively cut off the chaotic thoughts in his mind!
Indeed, he had broken his promises, so what? Hadn't he still lived a carefree life for ten years?
He had just won against this kid by cheating, so what!
Could he see it? If not, this was nothing less than supre gambling skill!
"Hmph! Xu Fan, did you hear that? Cut the crap! Today, I won't let you off easily!"
Seeing that Lu Jiuzhi was no longer on edge, Chen Longhu breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Xu Fan with venomous hate and urged him on.
Because he couldn't wait to chop off three of Xu Fan's fingers!
"Hehe, you won't listen to advice, very well, Lu Jiuzhi. Since you want to continue, let's continue."
Being naturally kind-hearted, he had given Lu Jiuzhi a chance, but the man didn't cherish it. Xu Fan smiled; had he known it would co to this, there was no need for him to lose the last round.
As he watched Lu Jiuzhi cover the dice cup on the table, Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, a flash of golden light fleeting in his gaze, and then he was about to push out all the remaining chips in his hand.
"Hehe, betting big shouldn't be a problem."
"Hmm, no, not good, betting big is not promising—Little Tiger is likely not big."
Halfway through pushing the chips, Xu Fan changed his mind and nudged the chips toward the smaller section instead.
This so infuriated Chen Longhu that he nearly leaped with rage!
Furiously glaring at Xu Fan, he cursed, "Xu Fan! What the hell are you betting on? Hurry up and decide!"
"Eh, Little Tiger, even the emperor isn't in a rush, so what's your hurry?"
Xu Fan gave Chen Longhu a disdainful glance, then turned his eyes towards Lu Jiuzhi, smiled aningfully, and said, "Right, Lu Jiuzhi?"
"Hmph, young man, stop the nonsense and place your bet quickly."
Lu Jiuzhi glanced at Xu Fan impatiently; to him, it didn't matter whether Xu Fan bet big or small.
Because whether the dice showed big or small, they obeyed his command!
"Hehe, betting small, eh?"
Xu Fan was being teased, but at least he finally pushed out the chips he held.
It must be said, Xu Fan had so skill—the outco in the dice cup indeed showed small.
But what about next? Well, for that, my apologies.
With a swift movent towards the dice cup, Lu Jiuzhi was about to switch the dice inside!
Eh?
But before he could touch the dice cup, suddenly a hand intercepted his wrist midway!
"Hehe, Lu Jiuzhi, I'll handle the revealing of the dice cup."
This move, as fast as lightning and caught by Xu Fan, was truly beyond Lu Jiuzhi's expectations.
What astonished him even more was the casual grab from Xu Fan—it was as firm as if cast from bronze and iron; no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't budge!
Seeing Xu Fan reach for the dice cup made Lu Jiuzhi's heart sink!
He knew that if he didn't cheat, he would lose this round!
"Everyone, help check if the size inside this dice cup is small?"
In the end, the dice cup was still unveiled by Xu Fan, and as soon as it was uncovered, everyone's eyes imdiately darted inside.
"One, two, three—this!"
"This guy, he actually won against Lord Lu!!"
"He actually won, this..."
They counted the size inside the dice cup over and over again, and no matter how they counted, it was big!
The crowd gaped, unable to believe that this guy had actually defeated Lu Jiuzhi!
Regarding the looks of newfound respect from the crowd, Xu Fan didn't care too much. He smiled faintly, released Lu Jiuzhi's wrist, and said, "Lu Jiuzhi, ten years have passed. Maybe your tricks can deceive the whole world, but sorry, you could never deceive ."
"If you're not convinced, we can play again. Hmm, let's see who is more impressive between ng Hanqiu and ."
Lu Jiuzhi's face turned ashen upon hearing this indifferent statent.
Ten years ago, when his tricks were just coming to fruition, and he was plotting to swindle a family to ruin, an old man cut off his finger.
The na of that old man was ng Hanqiu!
To save his life, he swore that he would never again cheat and harm people, which allowed him to live.
After fleeing, he forgot his promise and relied on his gambling skills to dominate Yuhang, living freely up to this day!
He thought that after ten years of honing his skills, he would reach a higher level, but now, he lost to a young punk!
Laughable, utterly laughable!
With frustration welling inside, Lu Jiuzhi spat out a mouthful of blood onto the gambling table!
"This!"
Chen Longhu saw everything and was utterly stunned!
He hadn't expected that Xu Fan could actually anger Lu Jiuzhi to the point of coughing up blood!
"Fuck, Xu Fan, you dare cheat against ! Kill him for !"
Having sensed that the situation wasn't in his favor, Chen Longhu clenched his teeth and, too impatient to let the gambling continue, waved his hand, ready to resolve the matter by force!
"Don't fight..."
But before his n could pounce, the haggard Lu Jiuzhi just shook his head.
"Dragon, I've done quite a few things for you over the years. Today, please grant this favor; you can't touch this man..."
"Lord Lu, this..."
Chen Longhu was dumbfounded. In the years he knew Lu Jiuzhi, it was the first ti he saw Lu Jiuzhi plead for soone else's sake...
"Fine, I'll listen to you."
Rembering the help Lu Jiuzhi had provided him over the years, though unwilling, Chen Longhu still agreed.
"Young man, there's no need to continue this gambling session, you've won."
"Rest assured, what I promised you, I will fulfill. One finger is nothing. However, could you tell , what exactly is your relationship with ng Hanqiu..."
"This..." Lu Jiuzhi's attitude clearly indicated surrender, a shock to the spectators, like the collapse of a mountain.
They truly couldn't understand why Lu Jiuzhi would give up so easily.
Was it just because he lost one round? Is this ng Hanqiu really so formidable?
