"I heard that the young master of the thunder sect is just so so, Lin Bohai is skilled in every area and he is well respected compared to Tang Fan," one of the young men in the restaurant said to his partner, Meng Hui gave Tang Fan an evil smile as she watched him frown his face in anger and embarrassment, he turned back to see their reaction towards him then he turned back to look at Meng Hui, he recognised that smile on her lips.

She is smiling at him scornfully and she is also berating him… ​​

The thought of everyone worshipping Lin Bohai and undermining him made him infuriated, then he bit his lips and said.

"let's compete," Tang Fan said with a serious expression on his face, at that moment he didn't want to show that he was embarrassed in order to maintain his face.

"I thought you came here to eat, why don't you and your disciples do what you came here for, I came out for fun not to fight with you," Lin Bohai said then he stood up from his seat and the other disciples followed suit, as he was about to leave the table, Tang Fan grabbed his elbow.

"Are you scared to lose, I haven't even said what we are competing in and you are already scared" Tang Fan whispered into Bohai's ear then he smirked, Bohai clenched his fist and then brushed away Tang Fan hand from his elbow.

"seems like you won't leave me be until you get what you want, okay what do you want to compete in," Bohai said then he gave Tang Fan a fake smile, Tang Fan also smiled in satisfaction, he knew that if he provoked Bohai he would definitely agree to compete with him.

"since everyone says that you are good at everything, then why don't we gamble," Tang Fan said, then everyone started to whisper, they thought that Tang Fan would suggest a swordfight but he actually suggested that they should gamble, some of them nodded their head in disappointment while others just whispered to themselves as they pointed at Tang Fan.

"Tang Fan, are you not even ashamed to make such a suggestion, are you trying to prove that you are just a just a scum while Bohai is not as good at you when it comes to being a fool," Meng Hui said

"you…" Tang Fan stuttered, then he took in a deep breath to calm himself down and said "we all know that the young master of the wind sect is good at many things but I have never heard that he is also good at gambling so I want to see for myself".

Huo Ying laughed silently as she watched the drama, then she said "seems like this Tang Fan is really interesting, he actually chooses something that we are good at"

"Since we don't go out often, we do all sorts of things in the sect for fun and what we do the most is gambling," Huo Qiang said

"thanks to the third elder who is a prodigy at gambling, most of the disciples in the flame sect are experts at gambling, seems like we will be having fun today," Bingchen said, while the others just smiled in satisfaction.

"since you want to then I will honour your wish, luckily we don't have to go far, there is a gambling house opposite the restaurant," Bohai said then he left with his disciples, while Tang Fan and his sect disciples followed behind them.

"I am definitely not going to miss watching the competition between this two," a man said then almost everyone left the restaurant to watch the game between Lin Bohai including Huo Ying and the guardians. More people from the street also ran into the gambling house to watch the competition.

"young mistress what is the plan" Huo Mei asked when they entered the gambling house.

"We have to embarrass both parties, and to do that we have to watch how they decide to play first then we decide what to do," Huo Ying said.

"So how do we play," Bohai asked Tang Fan

"Senior brother, are you really going to play along with this scum," Meng Hui asked as she glared at Tang Fan who smiled at her in return.

"don't worry," Bohai said

"you have to select three of your disciples to play with you, while I select three of mine then we play four round" Tang Fan said, if there is anything he is good at it is gambling and drinking so he is very confident that Lin Bohai would never be able to beat him at this game and he will surely make him lose lots of money.

"Okay," Bohai said, then he picked Feng shui and two other disciples to play the game with him, while Tang Fan picked three others from his group.

For the first round, Bohai sent Feng shui while Tang Fan sent one of his disciples.

"I am betting 100 taels of silver in this round" Tang Fan said

"I will also bet 100 taels of silver in this round" Bohai said

everyone who watched them was not surprised at the amount of money both parties were willing to bet on a game, the wind and the thunder sect are known to be very rich and the ones who were more excited about the game is Huo Ying and the guardians.

"seems like we are going to get lots of money from this game," Bingchen said

The lady who is in charge of rolling the dice, placed the dice in the cup, then she shook the cup continuously then she finally placed the cup on the table.

"I bet on big" Feng Shui said

"I bet on small" the disciples form the thunder sect said

The lady who rolled the dice removed the cup from the table, then she shouted "BIG!", those who were supporting Bohai shouted to cheer Bohai, Tang Fan clenched his fists tightly, he didn't expect his disciple to lose but he was sure that he was going to win the first round but now that Bohai lost, he will have to give Bohai a hundred taels of silver.

"for the second round, I will bet another hundred taels of silver" Tang Fan said

"I will bet two hundred taels of silver" Bohai said then he smiled confidently, Tang Fan felt inferior to Bohai now that Bohai as betting more money than he did.

The lady rolled the dice again in the cup then she placed it on the table.

"I bet on big," another disciple from the thunder sect said

"I bet on small" another disciple from the wind sect said

The lady uncovered the dice then she announced the result

"Big!!" the lady shouted.

Bohai frowned his face in discontentment while Tang Fan laughed to mock Bohai, then he said "seems like you are unlucky this time around", instead of replying him, Bohai just ignored him while Meng Hui glared at him angrily.

"I will bet four hundred taels of silver on this round" Tang Fan said

"I will bet five hundred taels of silver on this round" Bohai said

The lady rolled the dice again then she placed it on the table.

"I bet on small" the player from the wind sect said

"I bet on small" the player from the thunder sect said

The lady uncovered the dice then she shouted "Small!"

Everyone cheered again because Bohai won, they were disappointed when he lost the last round but now that he had won this round, they were excited.

"seems like it is now our turn," Tang Fan said, then he moved to the player seat while Bohai did the same.

"I will bet 1000 taels of silver" Bohai said

"I will also bet 1000 taels of silver" Tang Fan said then he smiled mischievously at Bohai then he winked at Meng Hui who looked away from him.

The lady shook the cup more vigorously than she did before, everyone was anxious to know the outcome of this round since the main people involved were now competing. Tang Fan was confident that he is going to win this round, he had never depended on luck alone when he gambled but he always listened to the sound coming from the cup, the lady stopped shaking the cup then she placed it on the table. Tang Fan etched a crooked smile on his lips then he said "I bet on small"

"I bet on big" Bohai said, unlike Tang Fan, Bohai has always depended on luck and it has always worked for him even though he has only gambled with those who are close to him.

The lady removed the cup from the table then she shouted "SMALL!". Those who were supporting Bohai had already turned to Tang Fan, they cheered loudly as they shouted his name. Bohai clenched his fist, he wanted to punch Tang Fan at that moment, he hated that arrogant look that Tang Fan now had on his face.

"young mistress isn't this the moment where we enter the show," Huo Mei said

"Of course it is, now that Bohai has lost such amount of money, he would wish he had another chance to reclaim what he had lost while Tang Fan would want to suck him dry, so now all we have to do is to compete with the both of them and we have to place a high bet, then that way we will make sure both sides lose," Huo Ying said

"young mistress your plan is so perfect, our sect is in need of money now, this is indeed a good opportunity," Huo Mei said

"the both of you are so sinister but I like that plan of yours, let me play," Bingchen said

"No, you can't, we are not just going to make them lose a lot of money, we also have to hurt their pride," Huo Ying said

"young mistress what do you mean, how can we hurt their pride," Huo Quang asked, then they gave her a confused look.

"They are both males both if a female is to beat them at gambling and also make them lose a lot of money, how do you think they would feel and if the rumour spreads it won't be good for them," Huo Ying said

"then let me go, young mistress, you and Huo Lian are dressed as males but I am not," Huo Mei said

"I knew that you were so cruel but I never knew that you were capable of devising such plan," Huo Bingchen said, then they all moved to the gambling, both parties were already ready to leave the gambling house.

"I would like to compete with the both of you," Huo Ying said as she reached the gambling table. Everyone suddenly focused their eyes on the five of them as they walked to the front.

"Who are you," Tang Fan said

"I don't think there is any reason to introduce myself," Huo Ying said

"if you don't want to then it is fine," Bohai said when he noticed that Tang Fan was about to act rashly.

"I would like us to play a round, I will be betting ten thousand taels of silver on this round" Huo Ying said, everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard that she would be betting such large amount of money.

"Are you sure you want to bet such amount of money" Tang Fan asked, he was also shocked that this strange person with no name is willing to bet such amount of money, he looked at their dressing and he noticed that they were dressed exquisitely and there is only one girl among them.

"I am willing to" Huo Ying replied

Bohai felt tempted to participate in the game, he was desperate to recover his money back from Tang Fan so he agreed.

"then I will bet five thousand taels of silver" Bohai said

"I will also bet five thousand taels of silver, don't fuss over it when you lose," Tang Fan said.

"Senior brother, are you sure that this person doesn't have a trick, if he is willing to bet such large amount of money then he must be sure that he is going to win, I suggest that you don't participate" Meng Hui whispered to Bohai

"don't worry, he doesn't seem like someone who is influential," Bohai said.

"Are you all ready?" The lady asked.
