Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1522
Chapter 1522 Fraternal Strife
Hearing that Ye Feng only had ten immortal crystals on him, waves of mocking sounds could be heard from within the building, mixed with all sorts of mocking sneers.
“Kid, don’t be embarrassing. Ten Immortal Crystals, are you here to send the beggars?”
Someone in the distance revealed a mocking expression, telling Ye Feng to quickly get out of here, don’t be embarrassed anymore.
“If you don’t have any immortal crystals, come join the fun. Get lost!”
Everyone exchanged words with each other, and their tone was filled with viciousness. They wished they could step on Ye Feng and ruthlessly humiliate him.
Ye Feng ignored the mockery and sneers from the surroundings and continued to stare at the man in charge of renting the counter.
“There’s a place there. If you don’t mind, that place will be yours!”
A burst of laughter came from the surroundings, causing the man in charge of renting to frown. He was a little impatient and wanted to quickly send Ye Feng away.
His finger pointed at an area that was only a foot long and half a foot wide. It could only accommodate one person, and it was impossible for him to even squat down.
Moreover, this place was practically a corner. Even if someone entered, they would not be able to see this place. Who would run out of the corner to look at the Void Talisman?
There were good shops in front of them, blocking this place. Moreover, there was only one passage. It was not like the shops outside, which stretched all around. If someone passed by, they would definitely see it.
“Thank you!”
It was better than nothing. Ye Feng had spent a thousand immortal crystals. Now, his body was clean and smooth. If he didn’t even have such a place, it would really be a big loss.
Squeezing out the crowd, leaving a group of people laughing in place, ignoring them, Ye Feng returned to his residence, quietly waiting for tomorrow’s Talisman Exchange Conference.
Ye Feng’s heart was already like a rock, how could he be affected by a few words of ridicule? After packing up his mood, he saw Qu Zhi return dejectedly.
“What’s wrong, Brother Qu? Why are you so dejected?”
Qu Zhi’s personality was quite straightforward. Why did he go out for a while? His face was extremely ugly.
“Forget it, let’s go out for a drink!”
Qu Zhi didn’t seem to be willing to say anything else. He pulled Ye Feng and was about to go out for a drink. It seemed that he had encountered something troublesome.
Ye Feng did not say anything. When he came to the Immortal Dimension, Qu Zhi was his first friend. Ye Feng still cherished him more. The main reason was that Qu Zhi’s heart was not bad, but his background was not good.
After drinking three full jars of wine, Qu Zhi put down his cup, and his face was already a little drunk.
“Brother Qu, if you think of me as a brother, you might as well say it out loud. Perhaps you will feel better in your heart.”
If he hadn’t encountered Qu Zhi in the Immortal Dimension, Ye Feng would still be on his way. Perhaps he would have been attacked by demonic beasts or robbed by bandits. Anything could have happened.
With Qu Zhi leading the way, he avoided many dangerous areas before arriving safely in Tang Feicheng. This was also the reason why Ye Feng treated Qu Zhi as a brother.
Speaking of which, without Qu Zhi, perhaps Ye Feng was already a corpse. How many immortals who had ascended from the Mortal Realm would be killed within a few days?
“Brother Ye, you are the only one who still treats me like a human. Come! To the friendship between us, let’s drink a toast!”
Qu Zhi was unwilling to mention it anymore. He picked up the wine glass, but under his helplessness, Ye Feng could only drink with him.
Based on what he had learned these past few days, Qu Zhi was not the kind of person who liked to gamble. It seemed that only by entering the casino would he be able to anesthetize himself and make himself less painful.
“Brother Qu, did you lose a lot of immortal crystals?”
Ye Feng asked tentatively. With Qu Zhi’s gambling skills, he would probably give it to the casino in vain.
Hearing that he had lost the Immortal Crystal, Qu Zhi’s eyes revealed a trace of hatred. Ye Feng should be able to guess something. He estimated that Qu Zhi had encountered something in the casino.
“Brother Ye, your luck is very good. Can you accompany me to the casino? I want to regain my face!”
Qu Zhi actually dragged Ye Feng out of the restaurant and headed straight for the casino, wanting to find the venue.
“Brother Qu, calm down first. Ten bets and nine losses. If you keep on gambling like this, you will sooner or later fall deep into it.”
Ye Feng broke free from Qu Zhi and sobered him up. He used gambling to anesthetize himself. This was not a long-term plan. If he wanted someone to be his master, he would have to put in more effort than others.
“I’ll only gamble once. As long as I win this match, I won’t gamble in the future. However, I can’t swallow this breath today. I have to find it again.”
Qu Zhi stared at Ye Feng. He was not afraid of losing, he was afraid of losing this tone.
“Tell me first, what exactly is going on? Otherwise, I won’t accompany you.”
Ye Feng still wanted to understand clearly what was the reason why Qu Zhi was so angry. He had also lost in Jindong Town, but he was not so dispirited.
Helplessly, Qu Zhi sat down again and told him everything.
It turned out that Qu Zhi met the family members in the casino. He was ridiculed, not to mention tricked, and even ruined. If he lost in the casino, Qu Zhi would not be angry. The most important thing was that he was tricked by the family members. He could not swallow this breath.
It wasn’t hard to tell that losing money was small. The key was to be ridiculed by the people of his clan, and he even secretly set up a trap. If it was anyone else, they would feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
“Since that’s the case, don’t enter the casino in the future. Take care of yourself. I’ll help you back!”
Ye Feng did not want to get involved in this muddy water. It was not because he was afraid, but because there was no need. It was not worth it to go all out for a gamble.
Qu Zhi only said it, venting the anger in his heart. After he said it, his mood became much better. The two of them walked out of the restaurant one after another.
“Aiyo, isn’t this the trash of our Qu Clan? Why are you here to drink to ease your worries?”
Ye Feng and Qu Zhi had just stepped out of the restaurant when two men and a woman came face to face. In front of them was a Young man dressed in white. Judging from his age, he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, similar to Qu Zhi.
Behind him, a man and a woman revealed mocking smiles as they stared at the drunk Qu Zhi.
“Qu He, if you have the ability, let’s gamble. I will definitely win back.”
Seeing Qu He and the three of them, Qu Zhi’s originally calm emotions were instantly ignited. He broke away from Ye Feng’s support and actually wanted to gamble with Qu He.
“Looks like you still don’t give up. If it weren’t for your half-mother and half-father, you would still be alive today. I advise you to obediently go back and be a good son. Don’t be embarrassed here anymore. You’re just like that damn mother of yours.”
Qu He’s words were extremely unpleasant to hear. Even Ye Feng frowned. Since they were half-brothers, even if they had deep hatred, they wouldn’t be able to kill each other.
“How dare you insult my mother!”
Hearing Qu He insult his mother, Qu Zhi rushed forward to attack Qu He.
“Brother Qu, calm down first!”
Ye Feng grabbed Qu Zhi fiercely. Qu He and the other three were both Fourth Grade Celestial Immortals. With his collision with Qu Zhi, it was undoubtedly an egg hitting a rock. He was definitely no match for them.
“I can’t swallow this breath. I must gamble again.”
Qu Zhi didn’t give up, just now, the three of them had set up a trap together, which was why he had fallen for their trap.
“My good brother, let alone that I won’t give you a chance, even if I agree to gamble with you now, do you still have any chips?”
Qu He revealed a playful smile. He had won almost all of Qu Zhi’s resources in a huge bet just now, so what else could he gamble on?
“As long as you dare to bet, I will have a bargaining chip!”
When Qu Zhi heard Qu He’s agreement, the wine was half awake. As long as he agreed to gamble, the chips would not be a problem.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you at the casino. As long as I have chips, I’ll accompany you to the end!”
Qu He wanted to see what treasures Qu Zhi still had on him. If he didn’t have any chips, he could ruthlessly humiliate them in the casino. This was Qu He’s favorite thing to do.
Seeing the three of them leave, it was too late for Ye Feng to stop them.
“Brother Ye, I know you mean well. This is a matter between us. You don’t have to participate. Let’s go back first!”
Qu Zhi Jiu also woke up, not wanting to drag Ye Feng into the water. After all, Ye Feng was only an outsider, this was a battle between their brothers.
“Forget it, I’d better accompany you!”
Ye Feng shook his head. In Qu Zhi’s current state, how could Ye Feng let him go to the casino alone? He would definitely be insulted by Qu He and the others again.
Hearing that Ye Feng was walking with him, Qu Zhi finally revealed a smile. This brother did not pay for it.
Along the way, Ye Feng could only smile bitterly. He did not want to get involved in this muddy water, but was still dragged into it. Once this matter was over, he would definitely leave Tang Feicheng and go to the Dragon Talisman Sect to take a look.
Staying in Tang Feicheng, Ye Feng wanted to gain a handful of Hundred Flowers Pills. Once he obtained it, he could borrow the effects of the Hundred Flowers Pills to break through to the next realm.
However, in the time it took for a cup of tea, a huge casino appeared. There were all kinds of gambling equipment in it, which was several dozen times more luxurious than Jindong Town.
Qu He and the others had been waiting on the same table for a long time, guessing their lust. It seemed that the Immortal Dimension liked this simple and exciting gambling method the most.
“Qu Zhi, what chips do you have?”
Seeing Qu Zhi sitting down, Qu He smiled playfully and stared at Qu Zhi. As for Ye Feng, he had long since been ignored.
“I’ll bet on this. See how much it’s worth!”
Qu Zhi took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and a trace of reluctance appeared in his eyes. This was the last thing his mother had left him, and now he had taken it out.
When he saw the jade pendant placed on the table, Qu He’s eyes lit up. He knew that this item was given to Qu Zhi’s mother by his father. It was made of high-grade immortal crystals. If worn on his body, it could prolong his life, not to mention, but it could also speed up the absorption of immortal energy.
“I’ll give you a thousand low-grade immortal crystals. What do you think of this price?”
Qu He bid a thousand low-grade immortal crystals. According to the market situation in the world, one mid-grade immortal crystal was exchanged for a thousand low-grade immortal crystals, one high-grade immortal crystal, and a thousand mid-grade immortal crystals. This Qu He was obviously taking advantage of the situation to rob them.
“You’re taking advantage of the situation. This is a high-grade immortal crystal. It’s worth at least 10,000 low-grade immortal crystals.”
Qu Zhi’s face was flushed red. Qu He was insulting him and naked belittling the jade pendant in his hand.
“What? If you don’t want to bet, then forget it. I won a lot anyway.”
Qu He looked indifferent. At this price, if Qu Zhi won, he would only lose a thousand immortal crystals. If he won, it would be a high-grade immortal crystal.
Hearing the high-grade immortal crystals, many people gathered around, wanting to see what had happened.
Hearing that the two brothers were arguing, everyone only had expressions of watching the fun, wanting to see how they would gamble.
“Alright, I’ll bet with you!”
Qu Zhi took a deep breath. For some reason, with Ye Feng around, he was very relieved. This was a kind of intuition.
