Chapter 84: Reunion at the Fen Yi Pavilion
who had always been so elegant and refined now appeared as a mesmerizing demon, captivating everyone around him.Perhaps he was a monster all along, just hiding it so well that everyone thought he was..."From what I hear, you know quite a bit about the Tiangji Pavilion" Qin Luoyan smiled faintly and modestly.
Wu Chi pulled her aside slightly. "I wouldn't say I know them well, but my family are also descended from warriors, and we've had some dealings with Tiangige before. I've seen the things they make, and it's true that throughout the land, they are gods among craftsmen."
"Oh, in that case, the challenger definitely can't win. However, I think that although the overall strength of Tiangijiu Pavilion is formidable, the person who comes out to challenge definitely isn't the most skilled craftsman in Tiangijiu Pavilion. So, the challenger may not necessarily have no chance. I think it's worth a gamble."
Qin Luo's words were insightful and well-reasoned. Wu Chi was stunned, and after careful consideration, he realized that her analysis was spot on. If the people sent by the Tiangji Pavilion weren't their strongest, then the challengers might actually have a chance.
Seeing his attitude soften, Qin Luoyan added, “This young master, why not take a gamble with me Perhaps we'll get lucky and actually win!”
I don't know if it was Qin Luoyan's words that touched Wu Chi, he hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly nodded in agreement, following her to the place where bets were placed.
To be honest, Qin Luoyan didn't dislike Wuchi. Although he had been following Hu Yanliuyun and acting as a lackey from their first meeting, every time it came to a critical moment, he never resorted to brutality. A bad person among good people is truly detestable, but a not-so-bad person among bad people can leave a surprisingly positive impression. This unfair aspect of human nature is quite perplexing.
However, humans are just humans. Unfairness is unfairness, and it's precisely because humans can't mechanize the measurement of everything that they are beings with blood, flesh, and feelings.
"A thousand taels" The gambler who had placed the bet took Wu Chi's silver ticket, hesitated, and asked uncertainly, "Young Master, are you really going to wager a thousand taels on this challenger of Tiangji Pavilion"
"Yeah, bet on it." Wu Chi gave him a confident answer, unconsciously glancing at his side. This person, although different from that woman, there was somehow a feeling in him, as if this person could, like that woman, always have unexpected moves.
The gamblers saw his firm attitude and stopped persuading him. After all, in their eyes, he was just a fool, willingly giving money to the casino. For them, the more bets like this they took, the happier the boss would be.
Since you've placed a bet at the casino, of course you have to go to Fen Ting to see the results before you feel satisfied.
After leaving the casino, Wu Chi proactively invited Qin Luoyan to go to Feng Yi Pavilion. Qin Luoyan initially wanted to refuse, but after some hesitation, she realized that Wu Chi was a disciple of Marquis Wuning, who was also a general. In the future, if she truly wanted to delve into the weapon manufacturing industry, this person might be useful. Therefore, she agreed.
Wuchi had a carriage, and the two boarded the carriage and headed towards Feng Yi Pavilion. In the carriage, the two chatted again. Qin Luoyan told Wuchi that her name was Yue Wuhen, a southerner who came to Fengqicheng to seek relatives. Her family's business could also be related to weapon manufacturing.
When the two arrived at Feng Yi Pavilion, there was still half a stick of incense before the agreed time, but Feng Yi Pavilion was already packed with people. Feng Yi Pavilion was originally an open space between two mountains, surrounded by many plum trees. It was the season for plum blossoms, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful.
At this moment, not only were the open ground standing and sitting full of people, but even on the surrounding hillsides, crowds of people could be faintly seen moving.
Qin Luoyan was stunned by the scene before her. She had underestimated the enthusiasm of Fengqicheng's people for watching spectacles, and she hadn't expected that the "entertainment industry" in this ancient society would be so lively. So many people... what a huge impact on public opinion!
"Looks like we're late, we probably won't be able to find a good spot." Qin Luoyan twitched the corner of her mouth, actually what she really wanted to say was, with so many people here, how could she possibly squeeze to the front to participate in the competition.
Wuchi wasn't worried at all. It turned out someone had been waiting there already. As soon as he arrived, two servants immediately came over to clear a path for him and led them all the way to the spot closest to Feng Yi Pavilion.
What astonished Qin Luoyan even further was that, originally, Feng Yiting was just a pavilion. However, to cater to the distinguished guests among the onlookers, someone had already brought tables and chairs beforehand. There were also snacks and tea on the table, giving the impression of a festive gathering.
Perhaps even Qin Luoyan, with her superlative tolerance, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
"Wuhen, come here and sit." Wu Chi's servant had already rented a table for him, so Wu Chi beckoned her over and sat down.
Qin Luo'yan sat down dazedly, once again feeling that her decision to come with Wu Chi was too wise. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't even be able to sit down, let alone in this pavilion ten feet wide. With her small frame, she wouldn't be able to squeeze in at all.
Wu Chi poured tea for Qin Luo Yan, who smiled and thanked him. She then looked into the Fengyi Pavilion, where two people were already seated, one of whom was someone she knew.
Yin Qi and the Buddhist master sat in the Feng Yi Pavilion, seemingly having a pleasant conversation. The two could be heard laughing in harmony from time to time, but they also occasionally looked towards the outer edge of the crowd, as if waiting for someone.
Qin Luoyan frowned, she never expected Yin Qi to appear here. A person who could reach such a high position at such a young age, she wasn't sure if he really couldn't see through her disguise.
Today's challenger and the Tianjigu representative haven't appeared yet. The onlookers are getting impatient too. They put in so much effort to come see this match, if neither side shows up, it would be a joke.
"People from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion have arrived!"
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted that way, but quickly, the onlookers miraculously parted to make a path.
Then, a petite young man in blue came over slowly. The young man in blue wore a mask, revealing only a pair of large, rolling eyes. Behind him followed a tall man, but he was dressed in rough servant's clothes and didn't stand out much, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.ithout hesitation scooped her up and carried her away from Yun Xiaoying's corpse. He carefully placed her on the bed, only to find remnants of flesh in her mouth.He frowned, reaching into her mouth wi...
