Chapter 129: Commemoration
“So, you guys finally came out. The three of you sure have grown a lot.” Jian Beiyun paused as he looked over the three young men’s height. “How is Sima Xue doing? Has she hit a growth spurt as well?”
“Um, you could say that,” Li Lang replied. “She’s been busy preparing to take the next major step.”
“Well, I’m thankful Tang Yulian is in there with her. Otherwise, I would think she would’ve rushed her attempt a long time ago. Anyway, you guys did a lot better than most expected. I hope you made use of this opportunity to your fullest and have no regrets.”
“Of course. We wouldn’t dare to waste any opportunity given to us,” Li Lang smirked. “I see you have also taken advantage of this opportunity here.”
Seeing Li Lang direct his gaze toward the gambling table, Jian Beiyun cleared his throat.
“It’s not as much of an opportunity as it is a way to prevent disputes between the distinguished parties here.”
Li Lang silently nodded as he surveyed the people around them. He wasn’t knowledgeable about the ways those from famous organizations within the Luminescent Domain dressed, but he could read between the lines. A brief exchange of glances with Wei Ping confirmed it.
However, one person among them was completely clueless. Long Yi made no attempts to hide his intrusive gaze as he tried to identify the other people within the teahouse. That lasted until a timely elbow from Wei Ping.
It was Li Lang’s turn to clear his throat this time.
“Anyway, I see that you have all these names listed on the table. Are you guys betting on who remains the longest?”
“That is the most basic way to bet, yes. You can also bet on individuals, go for a trifecta or even a superfecta. If you prefer something more unorthodox, you can practically bet anything you want as long as you find someone to bet with. We can act as the middlemen in that case.”
Changing the subject quickly, Li Lang’s eyes swiftly honed in on the gambling. He had made a small fortune during his previous hand at it, and he smelled an opportunity to do so again. He spotted most of the names crossed out, with the exception of five. They represented the final five cultivators who remained within the pocket realm.
