Chapter 52 -52 Gao Jin_1

But where to raise the money, this is a problem.

“Ah…” Chu Liang sighed.

Going back to Yun Chaoxian was certainly out of the question. This guy was so stingy that even the money for clothes was borrowed from him.

Speaking logically, if the information provided by Second Lady Gu was genuine, then it wouldn’t be hard if only money was needed. For those underground, unconventional cultivators, making money is indeed the simplest thing.

A bit more direct, just rob.

A bit more subtle, just swindle, cheat, kidnap, and steal.

For example, a crime that the Yu Dynasty has been cracking down on for years… cultivators firstly let their tamed evil spirits wreak havoc in the houses of the rich, then come to the door to collect fees to exorcise them, making both fame and fortune.

There are always numerous ways to do it.

If it wasn’t for the recent lockdown by The Government Office, and the tight security, maybe Second Lady Gu wouldn’t need to borrow someone else’s hand for such a trivial matter.

But what was easy for those unconventional cultivators, Chu Liang couldn’t do.

Even if he wanted to pull off some misconduct, he’d have to find some wicked criminals to dupe. But where could he find such wealthy bad guys in such a large Kaoshan City?

He touched the plump little beetle in his pocket, feeling its mouth constantly gnawing on his fingers. It seemed to be hungry.

Chu Liang scanned the streets, thinking for a moment, suddenly, there was a flash in his eyes as if he had thought of something.

Looking around, he found a tall man in the crowd who seemed least like a good person, approached him and asked: “Excuse me, where is the largest gambling house in Kaoshan City?”

“Gambling house?” The tall man looked him over. At this point, Chu Liang had already taken off that black robe and was simply a handsome young man in a fine robe. So he asked: “Do you want to gamble?”

Chu Liang blinked: “I…just want to have a look.”

“Heh heh.” The tall man laughed, “I’m also heading there for a few rounds. You look like a rich man’s son by your dress.”

“Not at all,” Chu Liang said, clenching his purse and laughing.

The tall man led him through and around, and in a moment, they were in front of a small shop, with only two cloth curtains in front of it and the unimpressive word “gambling” written on it.

There were two guards at the door who, seeing the large man, seemed to recognize him and let him through with a nod.

The tall man led Chu Liang deeper, once inside, it was a whole other world.

Inside the small shopfront was a huge casino, bustling with noise. There must have been thousands of people gathered there, each with red faces and hot ears, engrossed at various gambling tables, feeling cut off from the world.

“Brother, what do you want to play?” The tall man asked enthusiastically.

“I…I’ll see.” Chu Liang, looking shy, scanned the various gambling tables and walked past them, frowning and muttering softly, “I…I don’t know how to play these.”

“So what can you do?” The tall man asked.

“I can…play Mahjong,” Chu Liang said. “I played a few times with my elders during the New Year.”

“Heh heh, okay, there’s also a mahjong room here. But…you won’t have anyone to play small games with you, you’ll have to have enough money.” The tall man said.

“I…I didn’t bring a lot of money, but I brought this. I wonder if it’s enough.” Chu Liang seemed a little nervous as he pulled the gold brick out from his sleeve and showed it to the tall man.

“Wow—” The big man was startled, and his eyeballs almost popped out. Then he grinned broadly, “I must have met the God of Wealth today, okay, okay, I’ll go ask for you.”

Having said that, he led Chu Liang upstairs to the private rooms.

He found a middle-aged man in the casino and spoke to him, then turned back to wave Chu Liang over, “Brother, come in and have fun.”

Chu Liang nodded sincerely at the big man, “Thank you.”

The middle-aged man then led Chu Liang into the room, where there was indeed a mahjong table in action. It seemed to have been notified in advance, one man stood up and gave way for Chu Liang.

“This young man is here for the first time. Everyone take good care of him.” The middle-aged man patted Chu Liang’s shoulder and smiled at the people at the table before turning and leaving.

Outside the room, the big man was waiting, grinning, “How’s that? Ninth Master, isn’t whatever I get from this kid at least ten percent mine?”

“You wish.” The middle-aged man glared at him, “If you have a share, you have to pay off your gambling debts first.”

“Yes yes yes, I must leave his gold brick today, it should be enough to pay off my debt!” the big man laughed sycophantically, “Such a sheep is hard to find! I had to work really hard to persuade him to come!”

“Okay, I’ll count this as a credit for you.” The middle-aged man also laughed.

…

“Eh? Did I win?”

Inside the private room, a confused Chu Liang pushed away his cards and asked in surprise.

“Sure enough.” A skinny little man across the table nodded repeatedly and laughed, “This young man has good luck. Winning big on the first round.”

A tattooed, bare-chested man beside him chuckled, “Beginner luck, huh. Better keep playing with this luck, isn’t that right?”

“Yeah!” An old woman at the table laughed like a blooming chrysanthemum.

“You guys are really nice…” As Chu Liang collected the money and stuffed the silver into the purse provide by the casino, he laughed, “I won, and you’re all happy for me.”

“Hey, we’re all like that in the mahjong room, the bigger someone else wins, the happier we are.” The skinny man laughed.

“Really? That’s too good. I should come more often.” Chu Liang nodded, “It seems I’m pretty lucky today, but you guys aren’t going to run after I win a little, are you?”

“Don’t worry, young man.” The bare-chested man pointed to a large chest behind him, “We all have collateral in the casino. You just win, we’ll make sure you’re happy.”

“That’s nice.” Chu Liang said, suddenly his eyes lit up, “Hey, did I win again?”

“Huh?” “Huh?” “Huh?”

The three at the table felt that something was wrong. We’ve only just started the first round, what are you doing?

Mahjong also has spring?

“Beginner’s luck is too awesome, hahaha.” Chu Liang revealed a warm, pure smile.

Then he arranged cards, picked cards, played cards, and discarded cards.

The smiles on the faces of the three men across from him froze.

Chu Liang’s face was innocent, “Wow! The feng shui here is too good…”

“…”

After several rounds, the skinny man was the first to flee, repeatedly claiming a desperate need to pee as he darted out.

The middle-aged man stood outside, scowling, “Can’t the three of you beat one person?”

“Ninth Master, something’s wrong with this kid!” The skinny man declared urgently, “I’ve played cards for so many years, I’ve never seen anything so weird! Could he be a cultivator causing mischief?”

“No.” The middle-aged man shook his head.

All gambling houses have very strict mechanisms, such as formation inspections, that would detect any fluctuations of True Qi on the gambling table.

They held tight against cultivators causing chaos using Divine Skills.

Only the cultivators at the Wen Dao level, who have come into contact with rules like the Rule of Heaven and Earth, could possibly bypass these rules.

But these incredible cultivators at the Wen Dao level, if they need worldly wealth, they could merely open their mouths and myriad powers will send them money, they don’t need to come to a place like this to play around.

“Then what’s going on? It’s so weird. Even if the three of us knew each other’s signals and could coordinate, we still need some chances, right? He has been declaring Mahjong after only a few rounds, how can we play with that?”

The middle-aged man pondered and said, “He must have an extremely strong memory to remember so many cards… He is an expert.”

“What?” The skinny man exclaimed, “Then isn’t he an immortal?”

“At the mahjong table, he is indeed an immortal.” The middle-aged man sneered, “I’ve misjudged him today. It’s been many years since I’ve met a worthy opponent. Let me play against him.”

With that, he pushed open the door and sat down at the table.

“We can’t keep the game waiting. I’ll replace him.” He stared at Chu Liang and said with a smile.

Chu Liang smiled in response: “Sure thing.”

When the middle-aged man sat down, the shirtless man and the old woman both became noticeably nervous. Their looks were very unnatural, and their eyes were on the two pairs of hands on the table.

Chu Liang’s fingers were slender, exuding a jade-like sheen because of his years of cultivation.

The middle-aged man’s hands were covered in scarred, as if weathered by storms.

As his gaze met Chu Liang’s, the air seemed to solidify, as if sparks were flying.

That was the glow of the collision between the masters.

Then…

An hour passed.

“Huh? I got Mahjong again.” Chu Liang continued to push down the cards with a surprised look.

The middle-aged man wore a funereal expression.

What masters’ duel?

He was full of confidence when he entered the arena, wanting to compete against this young man who didn’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, only to realize that he had been beat and lost several hundred taels in just a couple rounds.

The other three, including the skinny man who had left the game, had all lost more than a thousand taels.

In their big stakes game where almost every round resulted in someone declaring Mahjong, the big bag of winnings Chu Liang had won was already overflowing.

“Young man, it’s enough!” The middle-aged man rose in anger, slapping the table.

He could clearly see now that this young man was not just good at remembering cards, he could remember all the cards!

At the mahjong table, he had whatever he wanted.

Coming here was completely like toying with them.

“What’s the matter, am I not allowed to win money?” Chu Liang blinked.

“You’ve won thousands of taels, you better leave now and never set foot in our gambling house again, you still know the saying about leaving a line in life, right?” The middle-aged man spoke solemnly.

“Hey, I’m just playing with you guys. You guys are getting angry.” Chu Liang laughed as he put the big bag on the table, “The money is here. I won’t take a penny away. Is that ok?”

With that, he left with a carefree laugh.

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed, watching him about to exit, and suddenly he said, “Young man, why don’t you leave your name? If we meet each other in the future, we will be friends!”

Chu Liang didn’t look back, just raised his hand, leaving behind a name: “Gao Jin!”

Watching him leave with such ease, everyone in the room had a shocked and inexplicable look on their faces. In that moment, it seemed as though there was a drumming sound echoing behind him.

Until his figure completely disappeared.

Then the skinny man came in and said with surprise, “Did he leave without money? Eh? What’s wrong with these taels?”

He poured out the taels from the bag, only to discover that while all the large ingots of gold and silver still retained their shapes, they had all turned into grey rock-like materials, as if they had lost their life.

“This is…” The middle-aged man, who had seen much of the world, guessed something and turned his head abruptly toward the large box where the silver was stored, “Quick, check it!”

With that, everyone hurriedly opened the box and saw that a hole had been drilled on the side of the box, and all the silver inside had undergone the same transformation.

“Ahh…” The middle-aged man sank into a chair, cursing bitterly, “That thief Gao Jin…”
