Chapter 116: The Young Marquis of the Bi'an Clan
Sang Luo promised to give Lou Xianyue a pair of earrings, but she had not found the right material. Seeing that a gambling stone pavilion across the official road was doing good business, she teleported over there.
The Gambling Stone Pavilion was built in a very grand style, with crescent-shaped corners and a total of five floors, each accommodating guests with different financial resources.
When Sang Luo was in the Northern Continent, he would visit the gambling stone shop whenever he had time, and picked up many top-quality spirit stones at a bargain price. He also knew some of the twists and turns in the industry, and as soon as he entered the shop, he would tell his attendant that he wanted to go to the basement.
The servant knew the man was an expert as soon as he heard it, and he was extremely respectful. After checking Sang Luo's storage bag according to the rules, he bowed and led her to the basement.
The underground space was more open, and the visitors were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they were either rich or noble. Many orcs were bidding against some high-quality gambling stones, and the scene was very lively.
Sang Luo took a quick glance and found all the gambling stones visible; they were all ordinary stuff. After walking around for a while, she picked up an inconspicuous stone in the corner. It was the size of a fist and felt quite heavy when she weighed it.
The waiter asked, "Are you sure you want this gambling stone? We have many gambling stones of better quality in our pavilion, which are more likely to produce top-grade spiritual stones. Do you want to change one?"
"No, that's it."
"Are you only buying this one gambling stone? Or are you going to buy more? The chances of getting a top-grade spiritual stone will be higher."
People who play with gambling stones are either rich or noble, and they spend a lot of money. He has been working in the Treasure Stone Pavilion for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen a customer who comes to the basement just to buy a piece of gambling stone. Judging from her storage space, she obviously looks like a wealthy person. Could he have made a mistake?
Sang Luo was about to decline, but saw the crowd at the door commotion, the owner of the gambling room came to greet him personally, and the experienced waiter beside him exclaimed,
"The young marquis is here again!"
Sang Luo released his mental power and passed through the messy crowd.
A young general in red military uniform walked into the gate. He was slender and fit, with golden scale armor outlining his waist and cloud boots on his feet. He looked extremely noble.
With his flamboyant fiery red short hair, handsome face, beautiful peach blossom eyes, and slanted lips, he has a frivolous and unruly temperament, as unruly as a wild horse that is difficult to tame.
Several females exclaimed in surprise when they saw him coming, but no one dared to approach him.
"Young Marquis Si, your visit really brings honor to my humble abode!" The boss greeted him with a smile and a flattering attitude.
"Don't say anything nice. Just do as usual and buy the entire gambling stone."
"Okay, okay, young marquis, please wait in the VIP area. I'll bring you some tea."
The boss saw another female in luxurious white clothes coming over and greeted her with a smile, "Why are you interested in coming to the Zhenshi Pavilion today, Ms. Zhi?"
Zhi Yi didn't even look at him, she walked straight towards the red-haired boy, coldly and arrogantly said, "Si Ye, I knew you were coming here, you've been hiding from me for so long, aren't you tired of hiding?"
"Tsk, I've told you so many times not to follow me, you're just a dog-skin plaster, aren't you disgusting?"
"You!" The female looked extremely unhappy, watching the boy walk away. No male had ever dared to speak to her like this. But the more he did this, the more she wanted to tame him!
"Who is he?" Sang Luo asked the waiter.
"Ah, you are asking about Zhiyi Guici. She is the youngest daughter of a chief of the Sky Tiger tribe. Although she is not a pure-blooded Sky Tiger, she is also a seventh-level orc. Many males have begged to become her slaves, but they are always rejected by the young marquis..."
"I'm asking about the red-haired male." She looked interested.
"You don't know that person! The extremely respected young marquis of the Bi'an tribe, Shaoye of the Si family, a pure-blooded king beast, fought on the battlefield, won every battle, and led the troops to recapture the Desolate City." The waiter looked admiring, but also regretful, "But the young marquis will only rest in the city for a few days and will leave soon."
Sang Luo gave the waiter a few animal crystals and walked away.
This young marquis was quite wealthy, so he bought all the remaining gambling stones on the underground floor and cut them on the spot.
Unfortunately, my luck was not good, most of them were ordinary spirit stones, and only a few high-quality spirit stones were opened.
Sang Luo also handed the gambling stone in his hand to the boss.
A rare and top-grade spiritual stone, the Xuanguan Stone, was unearthed. It is extremely suitable for being an inlay stone for a scabbard and is worth a fortune if put on the auction house.
The whole audience was surprised. With such good luck, even the young marquis glanced at Sang Luo, or more precisely, glanced at the Xuanguang Stone in her hand.
Sang Luo seemed unaware and left with the spoils.
As soon as he went out, he was targeted by a group of gangsters.
When the criminals wanted to kill people and rob, the young marquis appeared in time and took action to kill several people.
Sang Luo turned to look at him, a little surprised, and smiled respectfully, "Thank you, young marquis, for your help!"
"I just can't stand people causing trouble on my turf." He glanced at her, cold and arrogant.
"My Lord, it's time for us to leave." A beastman in black clothes appeared behind the two of them and saluted respectfully.
Si Ye nodded and turned to leave. Sang Luo hurriedly stepped forward and gave him the Xuanguang Stone. "Thank you for saving my life, young marquis. This stone is my thank you gift. Please accept it."
This precious stone is good, but it is not suitable for earrings, and the color does not match Aze. She saw that Si Ye was very interested in this stone, so she did a favor to win his favor.
"You are quite capable, but I don't like to take advantage of others." Si Ye casually threw her a jade ring, which contained a lot of animal crystals. The jade ring alone was worth as much as the stone.
Sang Luo, "Thank you, young marquis!"
Si Ye responded in a low voice and teleported away.
Sang Luo looked at the direction he left, with interest in her eyes lingering for a long time. She saw it clearly when he made a move just now - top talent, peak of the king level, only one step away from entering the emperor level.
This top-notch king-level genius is a golden opportunity that has come right to his doorstep.
She had to take him down quickly.
Sang Luo spread out her palms. When the two of them came into contact just now, she left a mental mark on Si Ye, so she could know where he went.
Her figure also disappeared.
……
Dongfeng City, Inn.
After Sang Luo paid the room fee at the counter, he gave the shopkeeper a few beast crystals and said, "I need a favor later. Please help me..."
Just after he finished explaining, a slender figure appeared outside the door. This time, Si Ye changed into a narrow-sleeved fancy dress. There was no one else following him. His outfit was much more low-key. He came to this remote town alone, probably for some business.
His flamboyant fiery red short hair, superior facial features and noble and imposing temperament still made everyone in the inn look towards the door.
Si Ye ignored him, walked to the counter, paid the room fee, and said, "Let's take a room with a top grade room."
"I'm sorry, sir. There is only one Tianzi room left, and it has just been reserved by this guest."
Si Ye then noticed Sang Luo and raised his eyebrows, "It's you."
Sure enough, for this powerful young marquis, a passerby like her who had only met once had a very low sense of existence. Si Ye was also dazed for a moment, then he remembered that he had met such a person two days ago.
Sang Luo smiled, "What a coincidence, young marquis."
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "That No. 1 room is a suite. Since you two know each other, you can stay in the same room."
