Sang Qian could think of more than a few retorts Don’t pretend that we don’t know you were the one who called Pang Chun here! His loyalty to your father runs deep, so who else would he listen to other than you?

Chu Chuyan stepped forward and explained the chain of events to Pang Chun

When Pang Chun heard the words ‘seven-and-a-half million silver taels’, he almost jumped in shock, just like the many others before him who’d heard it for the first time However, he quickly recovered and followed Chu Chuyan’s account to its logical conclusion “Sect Master Mei, it looks like you’re in the wrong here Since you opened a casino, it’s only right for you to accept a loss Otherwise, if all casinos were to operate in the same way as you, the world would be in utter chaos!”

Chu Chuyan’s face turned frosty at his slander “Are you insinuating that I am a cheat?”

Since both sides had already fallen out with one another, Mei Chaofeng had no qual the Chu clan “Well, that’s hard to tell He’s your husband after all Who knohether the two of you are working together to scam me?”

“Our Chu clan will not accept such slander I shall challenge you to a duel!” her tone of voice sucked all the war refused to back down “I have addressed you respectfully thus far out of consideration for the Chu clan Don’t take my consideration as a weakness!”

Zu An could barely contain his exciteer to witness an incredible duel He was curious to see how rank five cultivators clashed with one another, to learn how to better protect hi with one in the future
