”What do you mean?”

”Tomorrow, if you strive to use three moves…no, if you persevere and use four moves and then defeat your opponent, that would be best.”

Tang Thirty-Six moved close to his ear and whispered, ”There's someone in the Celestial Pole Market that made a big wager, betting that if you appear tomorrow, you won't use more than three moves.”

Chen Changsheng was startled, asking, ”The Celestial Pole Market is the business group backed by the Pavilion of Divination?”

Tang Thirty-Six nodded his head.

Chen Changsheng asked, ”If you do this…won't the Pavilion of Divination get angry?”

Tang Thirty-Six gazed at him as if he was staring at an idiot. ”This year, my family took over the Heavenly Fragrance Market. The Celestial Pole Market wants to show their goodwill, so they released this information to us, or else how do you think I got ahold of this information?”

Chen Changsheng was rather shocked, asking, ”Could it be that you and the rest of the Four Great Markets have all been colluding?”

”No kidding! How else are we going to make money?”

”This…isn't this cheating those people?”

”Nonsense! When those people throw down their money, isn't that just waiting for people like us to cheat them?

Chen Changsheng was absolutely speechless. Only after a very long time did he ask rather awkwardly, ”How many moves?”

Tang Thirty-Six said, ”Four moves is enough.”

Chen Changsheng thought it over, then continued to ask awkwardly, ”Then…what percentage?”

Tang Thirty-Six gazed at him as if he was looking at a whole new person. ”Pretty good! If I knew beforehand, I would have discussed the price.”

Chen Changsheng replied, ”When we left Zhou Prison, Zhexiu said he wanted to add money…I think that this money should still come from my end.”

Tang Thirty-Six thought it over, then said, ”That's reasonable. Out of the total profits, I'll give you forty percent.”

Chen Changsheng thought this was okay and indicated his agreement.

On the side, Xuanyuan Po commented, ”I really don't know what Zhexiu and the two of you want to do with so much money. For simple and honest kids like us that live in the mountains, if we have meat to eat and fur skins to wear, we're really satisfied.”

Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and teased, ”Seeing your appearance now that doesn't know the meaning of shame, you still have the nerve to call yourself that simple and honest?”

Xuanyuan Po was quite angry, retorting, ”Just how am I anything like what you're saying? I could search high and low and not find a person as crafty as you in my hometown.”

Chen Changsheng did not want to hear Xuanyuan Po wildly yelling such phrases as 'The capital isn't my home!', or 'My home doesn't even have this many people!' while standing on the great banyan tree. He hurriedly took on the role of mediator, saying, ”You really are different from before.”

Tang Thirty-Six roared with laughter. ”You see, even Chen Changsheng has noticed.”

Xuanyuan Po felt extremely wronged.

Chen Changsheng patted his waist and said consolingly, ”But I also don't blame you. Anyone who sticks around with someone like Tang Tang for too long would become a little narcissistic, and even forget a little of what shame means.”

Tang Thirty-Six's smile instantly vanished into the fires of rage, and it was now time for Xuanyuan Po to heartily laugh.

At this moment, from the other side of the academy's wall opposite the lake came the faint sounds of laughter.
