Yu Clan's son-in-law. That was a very prestigious position.

One ought to know that the Yu Clan was an ancient clan and was among the strongest even when ranked in the entirety of the dominion. Just from the fact that they had an entire province named after them, the Yu Province, it proved how powerful they were.

The Yu Clan was a clan with a long tradition of martial inheritance. Geniuses rose from each generation, and their Holy Son and Holy Maiden were always among the top geniuses of the dominion.

Now, someone that could possibly be the next Holy Maiden was going to throw a banquet at the Yu Moon Pavilion. It would be a grand occasion that would probably happen only once in 100 years. Ugly Gambler was one of the Seven Villains of Bloodsin City. It wasn't weird that he knew of the banquet happening. But why he had looked for Xiang Shaoyun was a mystery.

Xiang Shaoyun had not expected that this would be the reason Ugly Gambler had brought him here. With a bitter look on his face, he replied, ”Lord Gambler, she is someone on the list to be the next Holy Maiden of Yu Clan, and she will be searching for the best of Kings. A fresh King like me is not qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet.”

Inwardly however, he was thinking something different, This young master is not one to live off a woman. But if that Yu Clan chick is pretty enough, I wouldn't mind considering her.

Xiang Shaoyun was not a person who would play up to someone just because they were a person of influence and power. However, he needed to reclaim what was his, and that required sufficient power. If he could borrow some of the Yu Clan's power as well, he would not mind doing it.

But Ugly Gambler himself had said that only peak Kings would be invited to the banquet. Although he was strong, he still hadn't reached a point where he was comparable to them.

”Haha, don't be unduly humble, kid. I trust my eyes. You have an extraordinary fate and possess the bearing of someone with great power. Perhaps you might really obtain the yin devil wind and win that girl's favor,” said Ugly Gambler with a smile. ”I know you still have a lot of hidden trump cards, kid. You are definitely capable of contending against those under-30 Kings.”

Looking at the ugly smile on Ugly Gambler's face, Xiang Shaoyun mused inwardly, Is this old man scheming something here?

At that thought, Xiang Shaoyun continued the act, ”Lord Gambler, this kid is grateful that you are telling me about a great opportunity like this. But I have never been to the Devil Domain and know nothing about the place. I'm afraid I will die before I manage to even get the yin devil wind. I think it's better if I stay here instead.”

Ugly Gambler glared at him and said, ”No. Even if you don't want to go, you're still going. Or else, this old man will just kill you right now!”

A thick murderous intent surged out and surrounded Xiang Shaoyun, causing him to s.h.i.+ver. He was sure that if he dared to say no, Ugly Gambler would kill him.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly agreed, ”Yes, yes, this kid will go. This kid will go, alright?”

He was initially planning to act the fool to scam some benefits off Ugly Gambler, but he had forgotten that the Ugly Gambler was part of the Seven Villains. He was a person that would kill him just because he felt like it.

After Xiang Shaoyun agreed, Ugly Gambler smiled and said, ”That's more like it! I won't mistreat you. So long as you can get the yin devil wind and become the Yu Clan's son-in-law, I will give you a big present.”

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to ask what the present was, with a whoosh, someone appeared before them.
