XXIV. Meetings

After thinking about it, Liao Lei was ready to turn back to find the middle-aged man who opened the gambling game, but Zhou Miao, who did not participate in this game, obviously didn't want to go back, so she and Bai Lu went to Wangjiang first, ordered good food, and waited and pulled Bai Lu away.

To put it bluntly, she just doesn't want to stay with Liao Lei.

Knowing this but helpless, Zhang Longqian could only smile bitterly, and then accompanied Liao Lei, who had a complicated face, back to the stands, and soon found the middle-aged man who opened the gambling game in the original place, squinting at him, Liao Lei's voice was even more gloomy when he was not in a good mood.

"I won, give the money."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young Master Liao, don't worry. I ask you, how often do you win? ”

Liao Lei frowned slightly: "What, do you want to repay the debt?" When Zuo Ling announced the results, I looked at the time, nine minutes, you can't rely on it. ”

"No, no, I didn't want to pay the bill." The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, but the smile on his face was even worse, "The problem is that you won in nine minutes, but you bet on 'ten minutes'." ”

Liao Lei and Zhang Longqian were both stunned, and then remembered the words at that time, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Liao Lei did say "ten minutes" before, not "within ten minutes".

"No wonder he would offer odds to 10 to 1." After all, it wasn't his own bet, Zhang Longqian immediately recovered, muttered with a wry smile, but seeing that Liao Lei's face was getting more and more gloomy, she hurriedly persuaded: "Liao Lei, this is your slip of the tongue, it's not that he is cheating, don't be rude." ”

Looking at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face and the guys around him who obviously made a small profit by following the trend, the corners of Liao Lei's eyes jumped, and she could only squeeze out a few gloomy words from between her teeth: "Don't worry, I know." Willing to gamble and lose. ”

After speaking, he turned around and strode away, Zhang Longqian hurriedly followed, and comforted: "Don't rest assured, this is just the end caused by a slip of the tongue, just speak carefully in the future, you will win, don't worry!" ”

Although he said this, after glancing at Ji Haiyun, who had a funny face, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile secretly.

Perhaps, the "gambling boy" Liao Lei will lose every time she gambles, which is really a law in this world.

"The game is over, winner, Xue Cha, Guan Rongtu."

Zuo Ling's voice announcing the victory spread throughout the arena, and Zhang Long, who was walking out, couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and then followed Liao Lei from a distance as if nothing had happened.

Looking back at the disappointed young man on the light curtain, Ji Haiyun looked at Zhang Longqian again, and after thinking about it, he still didn't mention Guan Rongtu's name, but said as if diverting his attention: "After that, it's the game in the human area...... Miss, is there a group in the human area that you are interested in? ”

"Interested ......"

Hearing Ji Haiyun's reminder, Zhang Longqian pinched his chin and thought for a while, and couldn't help but let out an "ah".

"By the way, in addition to Young Master Kui, Sister Ru Yu is also in the human area......

Ji Haiyun recalled for a moment and said, "She should be arranged in the last one, come over and take a look?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Longqian still shook his head: "Forget it, we asked Sister Ru Yu before, she said that after all, she would come to the competition to help others, and if there were no accidents, she didn't plan to make a move, it seems that if the ghost master is really moving, ordinary students will be easy to parry or something...... Since she can't do anything, there's nothing to see. ”

After a pause at this, Zhang Longqian smiled.

"Moreover, if I had slipped away early while eating, Xiao Miao would have thought that I was reluctant to invite her and ran away."

Ji Haiyun couldn't help but laugh: "If it was Miss Zhou Miao, she might really think like this." She's going to be angry, right? ”

"Well, you're going to be angry."

While laughing, the three of them walked out of the arena, and the noise behind them gradually became inaudible.

I don't know if it's because the gambling game is always losing or if Zhou Miao still has a cold attitude towards him, or both, in short, the back of Liao Lei, who was walking in front, looked a little depressed, seeing this, Zhang Longqian smiled and wanted to take a few steps forward to say something to be relieved, but at a glance, he couldn't help but stop between the trees in the distance.

Although the distance was not short, Zhang Longqian could still see the two people standing there through the gaps in the trees.

Cang Yan and Nangong Piao.

"Isn't there something wrong with the two of them? Why are you still here? …… Did you come back so quickly? ”

After whispering to herself in confusion, Zhang Longqian wanted to go over to say hello and ask, but after taking a few steps over there, and after the angle changed slightly, she realized that there were not only Cang Yan and Nangong Piao in the woods, so she couldn't help but stop.

There were still a few figures in front of Cang Yan and Nangong Piao, and the first one was blocked by trees and couldn't see his face clearly, and he seemed to be a middle-aged man, talking to the two of them. Cang Yan still had a cold face and couldn't see the change, but Nangong Piao, who was usually always gentle, had a solemn face at the moment, and faintly revealed a little respect, which made Zhang Longqian a little curious about the identity of that person.

Of course, curiosity is curiosity, and she won't rush over to ask now if she doesn't know the timing.

After thinking about it, Zhang Longqian didn't get close to Cang Yan or catch up with Liao Lei, but just asked Ji Haiyun to go over and talk to Liao Lei and ask him to wait a while, maybe what Nangong Piao said was just to meet with the middle-aged man and say something?

Thinking that if Liao Lei shouted loudly at this distance, he would definitely alarm the people who were talking in the woods, Ji Haiyun nodded and quickly caught up, while Zhang Longqian stood in place and looked at the woods, and after thinking about it, she walked to the left a little more, and finally saw the middle-aged man's face.

It looks like a very ordinary face, only a pair of eyes are as deep as an eagle, revealing a faint ruthlessness.

Zhang Longqian was sure that she had never seen that person, but she felt a little familiar inexplicably, which made her confused, and she couldn't help frowning and trying to remember if she had seen it anywhere but forgot.

At this moment, a clear voice came from the woods.

Syllable!

The loud voice went directly through the woods to Zhang Longqian's ears, which was enough to prove how much force was used this time, the middle-aged man slowly withdrew his left hand with his backhand, Nangong Piao just lowered his head deeply towards him, his expression was terrified and he didn't say a word, Cang Yan turned his face slightly to the right, his complexion did not change in the slightest, but a clear red mark on his left cheek quickly appeared.

The middle-aged man looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes cold and contemptuous.

Cang Yan, who turned to this side because of the middle-aged man's slap, raised his eyes and saw Zhang Longqian, who was stunned, from a distance, he didn't speak, but just cast a calm gaze at her.

Very calm, without any feelings.

Zhang Longqian's heart twitched fiercely, and then his anger involuntarily turned up.

"That bastard ......!"

A suppressed angry voice leaked from between his teeth, and Zhang Longqian was about to rush over, but he was tightly pulled by a hand, and his suppressed voice was eager.

"Miss, you can't go over."
