Chapter 587: 587 expert acting cool making an entrance
Casinos have their rules, whether you win or lose, it never makes sense to celebrate all night when you win and immediately close doors and chase people away when you lose.
"If you want to close, then refund all the money you won from us."
"That’s right, give back all our hard-earned money that you’ve swindled." In a moment, the crowd became excited.
"Hmph, this is the Stone Tasting Conference, not a casino. I will open or close as I please. If you dare cause trouble, watch out, I won’t be polite," Yuan Tianbo threatened.
No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of guards flooded into the hall, fiercely surrounding the crowd in the center.
Leading them was Qin Li, who had been injured by Hua Rong and Zi Yue last time. It had been a while since then, and not only had his injuries healed, but his strength seemed to have improved, too, advancing to the Tenth Rank.
Mu Hanyan frowned slightly. He’d thought this guy would leave the Yuan Family after taking a loss, but it seemed he had stayed. It was likely that the Yuan Family earned some money from the Meteorite Gold Mine and bought Healing Pills to cure his injuries, so his strength had made a not insignificant progress.
"It’s you again, brat. I haven’t settled the score with you from last time, and now you dare to come and stir up trouble on Yuan Family turf. You really must have a death wish," Qin Li said aggressively upon seeing Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan guessed it right. He had indeed planned to leave after getting injured, but the Yuan Family had healed him and even improved his strength. Not only did he not leave, but he also became even more devoted to the Yuan Family.
Upon seeing Mu Hanyan again, Qin Li wanted to teach him a harsh lesson, partly to avenge the previous grudge and partly to repay the Yuan Family’s benevolence.
"If you don’t want to die, then get lost!" Qin Li bellowed, and the aura of a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman burst forth.
Except for Mu Hanyan and a few others, everyone’s face changed color. They couldn’t afford to provoke a Tenth Rank Great Swordsman.
Unable to provoke, they could only avoid. Faced with Qin Li’s threat, the crowd had no choice but to swallow their anger and leave in groups.
Although this so-called Stone Tasting Conference was essentially a disguised casino, it was not a real casino, so they didn’t need to follow casino rules. If they made a scene and got injured or killed, there was no place for them to seek justice.
Seeing that Qin Li’s appearance immediately deterred people from causing trouble, a smug look appeared on Yuan Tianbo’s face.
Although such actions were extremely detrimental to the reputation of the Yuan Family, and the Stone Tasting Conference might struggle to regain popularity for a long time, it was still much better than losing all their capital to Mu Hanyan.
"Do you know this person?" Yan Yuchu noticed Qin Li eyeing Mu Hanyan with malice and asked softly.
"We have some history," Mu Hanyan replied.
"Oh, I see." Yan Yuchu nodded, then suddenly leapt up and struck out with a palm towards Qin Li.
He had an unspoken understanding with Mu Hanyan, knowing that it was better to conceal his strength as long as possible. Although his strength was exposed in the Exotic Beast Valley, Pang Dezong had made a Heaven and Earth Contract with those young swordsmen who had seen Mu Hanyan’s abilities, forbidding them from disclosing the incident to the public, so his strength would still be unknown to most for the time being.
Since that was the case, and it was inconvenient for Mu Hanyan to take action, then he would.
"Mu Hanyan, do you only rely on your men to stand up for you? Sadly, this time your minion won’t be as lucky as last time," Qin Li thought Yan Yuchu was just another underling like Hua Yuezi, and spoke with disdain.
