In a hotel room under Pingshan.
Gu Nanquan sat on the sofa, frowning in thought.
Beside him, two middle-aged men sat on another sofa.
"Boss, that kid killed Yang Shi with just one sword strike. His strength is truly formidable. Won't he ruin our plans?" Yang Hu said.
Yang Lang said in a sinister voice, "Why don't I find an opportunity to quietly send him down to accompany Yang Shi."
"This person has an unknown background. For someone like Jiang Qiemo to consider him a friend, his abilities and origins can't be simple. Killing him won't be easy. Don't startle the snake before striking."
After a pause, Gu Nanquan continued, "The more capable a person is, the prouder and more confident they become. They only believe in the truth they want to see. Jiang Qiemo thinks I want him to win, so he definitely won't do as I wish and will ensure the Zhang brothers take first place. As long as he's around, that fellow Daoist shouldn't cause trouble."
"Even if something unexpected happens, I'm still here. I'll just defeat him."
"No matter what, we must let the Zhang family enter the rankings and take first place to join us in entering the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave," Yang Lang said.
"The Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave is truly troublesome. Only those who have been at the top of the rankings can enter. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to go through such trouble and help those Zhang family kids to get first place," Yang Hu said, clearly displeased.
"It's a necessary step. Without the Zhang family members proficient in Feng Shui Secret Skill to guide us, entering the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave is useless. We won't find the place where the dragon and tiger intersect," Yang Lang said.
"Once Zhang Chunman takes first place, we can open the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave and force him in to help us find the dragon-tiger intersection," Gu Nanquan finished and looked at Yang Lang, asking, "How's the contact with Kuang Liu going?"
"Rest assured, everything is under control. I've gotten quite familiar with him. When the time comes, we'll take him with us. If the Zhang family's Feng Shui Secret Skill doesn't work, we can use his Strong Luck Talent to take a gamble," Yang Lang said.
"That's good. We must obtain the items in the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave," Gu Nanquan pondered the details of his plan, realizing that the fellow Daoist was a potential obstacle at every step.
Chen Guan, together with Zhang Chunxiang, had won a lot of money. The gamblers they found were mostly wealthy ladies who were indifferent to losing millions as if money meant nothing to them.
Some of these ladies even secretly slipped their contact information to Chen Guan, telling him to find them if he ever needed money.
Over the past few days, Zhang Chunxiang had made a huge profit, looking at Chen Guan as if he were a money tree. Her eyes were filled with the reflection of money.
"How exactly do you do it? How do you make sure you win whatever match you want?" Zhang Chunxiang observed for a long time, yet Chen Guan hadn't done anything, not manipulated any bets.
If Chen Guan relied on luck, then he would sometimes lose. However, when he lost, it was always with small bets or he would deliberately lose the game.
"With good luck, you can do as you please." Chen Guan didn't win continuously for fear of scaring everyone away and having no one dare to gamble with him. So, he occasionally let others win once or twice.
Moreover, he couldn't always use the Spirit of the Cheerleaders to avoid revealing any flaws.
"Is it really luck?" Zhang Chunxiang was uncertain if it really was luck.
But she couldn't care less now. In just a few days, she had already pocketed over twenty million. If it continued like this, her savings would soon double.
"Brother Daoist, what do you want for lunch? I'll have someone prepare it for you," Zhang Chunxiang now truly treated Chen Guan like a gambling god.
She still thought about the pink rabbit, but Chen Guan, with such strong luck, had no shortage of money, and Zhang Chunxiang felt she might not have a chance.
But she didn't intend to give up, hoping there might be a chance in the future.
Although Chen Guan had money, not everything could be solved with money. Perhaps one day Chen Guan would encounter a problem that money couldn't solve, and then she would have a chance.
Over these past few days, Chen Guan had been queuing to climb the rankings and finally made it to fifth place, just below Gu Nanquan, who was fourth.
The rankings above stayed the same: first was Zhang Chunman, second was Jiang Qiemo, third was Zhang Huacai, and fourth was Gu Nanquan.
"Brother Daoist is indeed formidable, climbing to fifth place so quickly. Don't rush, tomorrow is the ranking day. We'll first deal with the Zhang family, knock them down, and you can continue to climb. We'll take the top three," Gu Nanquan said with a smile.
"Alright," Chen Guan nodded in agreement, not challenging Gu Nanquan further.
Tomorrow was the ranking day, and the ranking for this month would conclude. Entering the top three would immediately grant you a random reward.
Gu Nanquan felt relieved when Chen Guan agreed.
"It seems this fellow Daoist hasn't noticed anything," Gu Nanquan harbored probing intentions. If Chen Guan wanted to challenge him further, he would immediately defeat Chen Guan and adjust the plan to avoid any missteps.
It appears Chen Guan intends to cooperate with Jiang Qiemo.
The next day was the ranking day. Zhang Chunman and Zhang Huacai showed up, but the second of the Zhang family was absent, likely due to an important matter.
Zhang Chunxiang was naturally present, but she didn't sit with the Zhang family's lineup; instead, she sat beside Chen Guan.
"Aren't you worried about not going over there?" Chen Guan turned to Zhang Chunxiang and asked.
"What's there to worry about? We're partners now, so we're close. I'll stand on your side. Go for it, you must defeat them. Brother Daoist, you are the strongest," Zhang Chunxiang said, even making a cheering arm wave for Chen Guan.
Chen Guan was speechless, finding that Miss Zhang dared to say anything.
Jiang Qiemo directly chose to challenge Zhang Chunman, and Gu Nanquan opted to challenge Zhang Huacai.
Chen Guan had nobody to challenge temporarily, as the victor between Gu Nanquan and Zhang Huacai would determine who remained fourth, and the rankings did not allow for challenges before that.
The first fight was between Jiang Qiemo and Zhang Chunman. The previous competitors were far too weak. As soon as this fight began, it invigorated Chen Guan's spirit.
Chen Guan knew Jiang Qiemo's strength, but in the battle with Zhang Chunman, he couldn't gain any advantage.
The two transitioned from hand-to-hand combat to weaponry, with the fight's brilliance leaving spectators awestruck. Most couldn't discern the subtle brilliance of their moves.
In the end, Jiang Qiemo even brought out the Blinking Divine Sword but couldn't completely suppress Zhang Chunman.
Zhang Chunman, with his Talisman Sword, displayed a technique so steady it was unimaginable, focusing entirely on defense, allowing Jiang Qiemo no opportunity, and exhibited exceptional patience.
"It looks like Jiang Qiemo has a hard time winning. Brother Daoist, I'll cheer you on later; you must win," Zhang Chunxiang said.
"He will definitely win," Chen Guan said.
"Why?" Zhang Chunxiang asked, seeing that Jiang Qiemo was not at an advantage.
Although Jiang Qiemo was indeed formidable, Zhang Chunman was not inferior and even more stable.
"Because he's Jiang Qiemo, the most talented person in the world," Chen Guan said.
"Yes, yes, Brother Daoist is right," Zhang Chunxiang abandoned her principles, thinking, "You are the money tree, whatever you say is right."
At this moment, the blood within Jiang Qiemo seemed to be boiling, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
