***********************************

"We will naturally have our own ways to deal with Sir Tang Yuan's matter! There is no need for Third Young Master Jun to worry about it! Moreover, Third Young Master Jun may not be able to win these things!" Meng Haizou pushed all the jade, pearls, and sword onto the table. 

Gritting his teeth, he went straight to the point. "Third Young Master Jun, this Ruyi Jade of mine was granted by His Majesty, the Emperor himself, this is my uncle's most precious sword, this Glowing Pearl was given to Li Feng by the Grand Preceptor Li himself... all these are precious items with no market value! I believe that if one were to value it, then it would fetch upwards of millions of liangs! Considering how much money Third Young Master has, it seemed insufficient. But if Third Young Master is willing to gamble, then I can make an exception and allow you to bet with something else!"

"Then what do you want me to bet with? You are not going to ask me to put my body up, are you? Or could it be that you want me to marry your little sister who could not be married off? But I have never heard about this little sister of yours," Jun Mo Xie tilted his eyes as he picked up his ears.

Dugu Xiaoyi was unable to restrain herself and momentarily burst out in laughter, but immediately assumed a straight face. From under the table, she delivered a vicious kick at Jun Mo Xie, causing him to bite his teeth and smile.

The muscles on Meng Haizou's face spasmed, he was furious to the point of almost vomiting blood. Forcing himself to hold back, he replied. "Third Young Master sure likes to joke, this bet is very simple. If I lose, then everything here naturally belongs to Third Young Master. But if I win, Third Young Master must promise to fulfill my one request and help me do something. Is that acceptable?"

"Are you kidding me? How is that acceptable?" Jun Mo Xie panicked while in his heart he was excited.

'A show is coming! It must have been really hard for them to hold back for so long.'

He could not help but give out a chuckle before refusing. "If you guys tell me to go commit suicide, then should I really have to go die? If you guys want me to give you all the possessions of my Jun Family, then do I really have to give it all to you? This condition of yours is really... tsk tsk! Do you guys take me for a fool?"

"I can guarantee that those scenarios that Third Young Master described will not happen. This request will not require a single silver from Third Young Master Jun. It will also not bring any harm to Third Young Master! In addition, this request is certainly one that you can accomplish! If Third Young Master feels that the request is impossible, then you may just forget that this ever happened!" Meng Haizou was almost unable to restrain himself from violently beating up this despicable bastard before him.

"Just like that? In that case, why not?" Jun Mo Xie agreed. "What will we be betting?"

"We will bet on the dice!" Meng Haizou said anxiously, a desperate look was evident on his face resembling that of a classic gambler.

His face was grim when he said. "This bet will be between just you and me! We will bet on the size of our rolls; no banker! The biggest point wins! Jun Moxie, do you dare?"

"Haha, would I be afraid of your losing hand? A dice gamble! You think you can beat me? What a joke!" Jun Mo Xie expressed an insolent look lacking in thought or care.

Li Zhen, Li Feng, and the others were excited. Their eyes gleamed, they were well aware that Meng Haizou was quite accomplished in the game of dice rolls. He had never lost on normal occasions.

"Who will go first?" Jun Mo Xie asked with a smile.

"I will go first!" Meng Haizou confidently grabbed the dice into his hands with one sweep. 

But the result... he lost again!

"I am rich!" Jun Mo Xie laughed loudly as he exited the premises.

A bodyguard followed him from behind while carrying a huge package.

After Jun Mo Xie had left, one of the tea cups on the table went missing. However, none of the dejected debauchees noticed...

Dugu Xiaoyi and Tang Yuan were walking behind Jun Mo Xie, with the former eyes continuously glancing at the huge package carried by the bodyguard. She wanted to ask Jun Mo Xie to hand over some of the treasures to her but she also had to look at her image.

Tang Yuan's smile spread widely all the way up to his ears, looking almost like the Laughing Buddha. He walked up to the front energetically. "Third Young Master, your actions today had totally won me over! Wahahaha, seeing those bastards losing everything they have made me feel so happy... Umm, brother, isn't it time to give me the sword and accompaniment jade?"

"Give you?" Jun Mo Xie stopped and looked at Tang Yuan with a surprised look. "What are you talking about? Why should I give it to you?"

'Why?'

Tang Yuan was suddenly startled. He stammered, "Could it be... Could it be you have no intention of... giving it to me?"

"Give it to you?" Jun Mo Xie revealed an even more surprised look on his face. "Do I owe you anything? Why do I have to give it to you? What are you talking about?"

"That... I... I..." Tang Yuan's expression had become truly pitiful. He finally realized that those items were won by Jun Xie. That meant that those items now belonged to Jun Xie.

The Young Master Tang finally understood that even though Jun Mo Xie had returned victorious, his problem still remained unresolved! Thinking about the fearsome face that his father would have, the fatty Tang shuddered.

"Giving it to you is absolutely impossible," Jun Mo Xie shook his head fervently. "I have never participated in a non-beneficial transaction, not today, not ever!"

Having said that, he looked at Tang Yuan's depressed face and added with a different tone.

"However, selling to you is a different story. In this regard, how about you buy using the amount of benefits that you got from this matter?"

Jun Xie smiled mysteriously, as he held out a finger.

"Waha! You really are my good brother!" Tang Yuan felt as though he had been reborn, he became so excited he forgot himself.

Without considering anything he jumped at Jun Xie, hugging him but the latter avoided him for the fear of getting crushed under him.
