“i’ll deal the cards,” baili xi said as he held the poker cards.

“yuwen, where were the rest of the mercenaries who stopped us on the way when you went to capture the leader?” shi qian asked.

“we wiped the team out,” yuwen chengyuan said indifferently. after a pause, he continued. “zhui ying has already sent over the information of that group of people. they specialize in robbing wealthy people who pass by. they commit all kinds of crimes and deserve to die.”

“indeed.” shi qian nodded.

the man could do such a thing. the members of this gang wouldn’t do good.

“someone from the mercenary group stopped you?” murong jing asked in surprise.

“yes, they wanted to rob us,” shi qian said.

“are those people blind or stupid? they didn’t even find out who you are and dared to rob you? isn’t this courting death?!”

“someone sent them here,” shi qian replied. “oh, right, who sent them?” she asked yuwen chengyuan.

“this? we can’t be sure yet.”

“you can’t be sure? or you can’t tell me?”

“i’m not sure yet,” yuwen chengyuan answered again.

shi qian no longer asked.

“i saw the man rolled around on the ground,” baili xi said as he dealt the cards. “did you give him the potion?”

shi qian picked up the cards on the table and looked at them. “yuwen directly opened the lid and poured it on his wound. the pain was excruciating.”

“one would die from the pain if he were an ordinary person.” baili xi smiled.

“that scumbag deserves to die of pain.” shi qian snorted.

“qianqian, i didn’t know you were so violent!” baili xi looked at her suspiciously.

“that depends on who you’re dealing with,” shi qian said lazily.

they dealt with the cards after a while.

baili xi looked at them and spoke again.

“of course, i’m paying.” murong jing replied.

“it’s so boring to play with money. besides, are you short of money?”

“can’t you tell that i’m so poor?” murong jing said seriously.

baili xi was at a loss for words. “i can’t tell.”

“money is boring. what do you want to play with then?” shi qian asked.

baili xi glanced at the bracelet on murong jing’s hand and smiled. “a treasure. the winner will get a treasure.”

murong jing immediately protected her bracelet.

she hadn’t warmed up the bracelet yet, and this shameless fellow thought about it.

who in the ninth province didn’t know that ghost doctor divine hands was good at healing people but also good at playing cards on the gambling table?

“we don’t have any treasures.” shi qian rolled her eyes at baili xi.

“you don’t have any treasures?! the treasures from all over the world that master zhan brought for you have already piled up in two warehouses. even the museum doesn’t have as many treasures as you!”

“those are gifts from master zhan. i can’t take one out to gamble with you! besides, would you dare to take it if i dare give it to you?”

‘receive a gift that master zhan gave her?’

he could immediately imagine the expression on the monstrous big boss’s ‘face.

baili xi was bereft of words. “let’s play with money. it’s more practical.”

shi qian smiled.

they played cards afterward. baili xi won the most money after a few rounds.

“are you cheating?” shi qian looked at him.

baili xi smiled slyly. “am i that kind of person? i’m relying entirely on my skills.”

two figures appeared at the imperial university. they were in the dormitory.

sheng xu and lu sizhe didn’t go back.

sheng xu sat on his desk and looked at the night sky outside the window. suddenly, he asked, “why do you think shi qian is with shang sizhan? since she’s from the king’s garden, do you think she’s going on some dangerous mission?”

lu sizhe sat on the sofa and played games. “it was hard to say. however, i think it’s possible.”

“you think so too?” sheng xu looked back at him.

lu sizhe nodded. “she’s so good at fighting and racing. she seems to have some hacking skills. don’t you think she looks like a trained female assassin?”

sheng xu was speechless.

‘female assassin…’

an image of shi qian flashed in sheng xu’s mind. she wore a black tight-fitted suit with a gun and flew over roofs and walls at night. she was the queen of gunfights.

“however, since she’s with shang sizhe, it shouldn’t be too dangerous. shang sizhan will protect his woman..”
