TMS Chapter 10

Qin Yu and Jiao Yi came to the shore.

Compared with standing in the distance, standing on the bank of the river watching the lanterns is a little more lively, or in other words, the smell of fireworks is less while standing away from the lively crowd.

“It feels good.” Qin Yu looked at the sparkling river, holding a white jade fan in one hand and lightly tapping the palm of the other hand with the fan’s spine.

As soon as Jiao Yi heard the words, his eyes flicked across Qin Yu’s profile and his eyes paused for a while on the corner of his smiling lips, then the same arc was raised on his lips and he replied softly, “It is true.”

“Let’s come and see this again. ”

“Okay.”

The two of them talked relaxedly, as if there was no one else around, but the people around them were not.

Even though Qin Yu and Jiao Yi wore masks to cover half of their faces, the lower half of their faces that was exposed was enough to make people astonished. In addition, the two were slender and tall, so standing in the crowd seemed like the bright moon that can shine, and the rest of the people can only serve as their foils.

Therefore, when they came, they attracted most of the attention. From time to time, a little girl would quietly cast her eyes on them and then silently blush.

Zhao Yue’er is one of these little girls. She is the daughter of a merchant in the city. She has learned business from her parents since she was a child. Compared to them, the young masters she’s met are immediately overshadowed.

With the intention of getting acquainted with them, she straightened her sleeves, got up and stepped forward, but before she could take a step, she was pulled back.

Which guy is ruining this girl’s good deeds! She turned her head angrily, and then saw a familiar face, “Why is it you?”

***********

From the very beginning, Qin Yu and Jiao Yi noticed the gazes of the people around them, but because these gazes were not malicious and because they are not people who pay attention to other people’s opinions, they don’t care as they continue to calmly watch the lanterns floating on the river.

However, Qin Yu glanced at the person throwing the lanterns and asked softly, “Is throwing the lanterns into the river purely for entertainment and good looks? Or is there some other meaning?”

“I know!”

As soon as the words were finished, a voice sounded from behind. Qin Yu turned around and found that the speaker was a pretty girl, and she was looking at him with a smile at the moment.

Immortal Realm

“This is…”

Lu Meng followed the long-faced man to his residence. As soon as he stepped through the threshold, he was startled. Jia Yi also had a surprised expression.

Sun Ren, that is, the man with a long face, put his hands behind his back and said to the two of them proudly, “How is it? Interesting?”

Looking around, he saw that the small space in front of him was full of gambling tables. There are all kinds of gambling equipment such as dice and dominoes, it is like a small gambling house.

Lu Meng’s heart skipped a beat and he asked in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid of being found out?” He knew that Sun Ren had always liked having fun, but he didn’t expect him to even dare to set up a casino.

Gambling is not allowed in the Immortal realm, and once discovered, they will be punished immediately. But gamblers and scum can be found everywhere, even in the immortal realm because there are always people who like to take risks.

“Hey,” After listening to Lu Meng, Sun Ren shook his finger lightly, “If you don’t tell me, if I don’t tell you, who will know? Who will check?”

He walked to a gambling table and faced them. He said, “Come and play a game?”

“Aren’t you afraid of being set up?” Jia Yi didn’t dare to try, so he raised another hidden danger.

“I know that all the people who would set up the gambling house have come in. Tell me, do they dare to sue? One mistake is being an accomplice! So, my place is still very safe.”

Lu and Jia were stunned and found that the other party was indeed right. They have been suspected of participating in gambling since the moment they came here. If they don’t play, they seem to be losing money?

“So, let’s play a game!” Sun Ren continued to encourage them, “Let’s play the simplest guessing game. Money, spell formulas, spiritual weapons…anything of value can be used as a bet, how about it?”

Lu Meng’s heart was already moved, so he was even more moved when he heard the bet. Although he and Jia Yi can be said to rely on Lin He, their foundation is still shallow after all. They have not been in the immortal realm for a hundred years, and compared with others, they are still relatively worse off.

If he can win this time…Lu Meng looked at Jia Yi, and in the eyes of the other party, he saw the same thoughts as himself.

He immediately turned his head and said to Sun Ren, “Okay, let’s have a game!”

Human Realm

“I know!” Zhao Yue’er repeated. She has been paying attention to the two of them, so when she heard Qin Yu’s question, she immediately answered it first.

“Oh? Tell me, girl.” Qin Yu raised his eyebrows lightly.

“Cough!” Zhao Yue’er cleared her throat, “Actually, we do put lanterns in the river for entertainment, but it’s not limited to that. Most people put lanterns in because they want to find a lover to spend their whole life with.” At the end , her face was slightly red.

Qin Yu thought for a while, “Common name, seeking marriage.” His voice was deep and magnetic.

“Yes, that’s it.” When it was over, her face became hotter, Zhao Yueer thought, she bit her lip and continued, “If…there is someone you like, you can also buy a lantern for the other party, if the other party accepts the lantern, it means that the other party is willing to be with you.”

“Thank you.” After getting the answer, Qin Yu was satisfied, thanked her and was about to call Jiao Yi to go somewhere else, but before he could speak, he saw Jiao Yi looking at Zhao Yue’er, the handsome and focused face can be vaguely seen.

Zhao Yue’er’s face turned even more red, my God, what kind of luck do I have? She didn’t notice that there was also a flushed face behind her, but it was the kind that was flushed with anger.

“Is it useful?” After a while, Jiao Yi asked.

“Huh? Uh, it should be useful.” Zhao Yue’er was a little dazed as she didn’t expect the other party to ask such a question.

Qin Yu was also a little regretful, because he thought too much, “Okay, let’s go…”

“Please wait a moment.” Jiao Yi, in a rare manner, interrupted Qin Yu, and after speaking, his eyes glanced at Zhao Yue’er, and he got up and went elsewhere.

What’s happening here? Zhao Yue’er was a little confused.

Qin Yu stood there leisurely and watched him leave. He seemed to have guessed what Jiao Yi was doing and he didn’t seem to think much about it.

After a while, Jiao Yi appeared in their line of sight, with an extra lantern in his hand.

Qin Yu looked at him and chuckled. He guessed right.

Jiao Yi walked towards them with a lantern. The noisy crowd came and went behind him, the warm candlelight fell on the ground behind him, but he walked firmly and continued to move forward, as if no one could stop him.

When Zhao Yue’er saw the lantern in his hand, her heart immediately became flustered. Could it be? She held her breath, did I really attract him?

She took a deep breath, thinking about what to do next? Walking in front of him, will it appear that she is too active? And if she stands still, wouldn’t it look too cold?

Zhao Yue’er felt very entangled.

At the last moment when Jiao Yi was about to come to her, she finally made a decision, she should take the initiative. So she raised her foot and was about to step forward. But what happened not long ago was repeated again as she was held back by someone again. She turned around and it was still that familiar face, “Zhao Yu, what are you doing here?”

Zhao Yu pulled her behind him with a sullen look on his face. He witnessed everything, from the beginning to the end. This woman knows how to look at faces, obviously, his face is not bad.

He said loudly to Jiao Yi, who was walking towards them, “Give up, Zhao Yue’er is not suitable for you, do you know what she likes? Do you know that she likes to eat Zhang Ji’s stinky tofu? You don’t know this, you guys can’t be happy together!”

“What?” Jiao Yi suddenly heard his words and he couldn’t react. What happened during his absence?

“Aren’t you…” Zhao Yu was about to say, didn’t you intend to give a lantern to Zhao Yue’er, when Jiao Yi skipped past them and walked behind them, handing the lantern to Qin Yu.

Zhao Yu shut up instantly, well, it was nothing but a shock. Similarly, Zhao Yue’er also saw it. She thought, it really was an illusion and the illusion made her so happy.

Surprisingly however, she wasn’t too sad. She looked at the two people standing by the river, and thought to herself, they are a good match.

However, “How do you know that I love stinky tofu?” Zhao Yue’er stared at Zhao Yu with an unkind expression, obviously she buys it when no one is around.

Zhao Yu shuddered. He has always been weak in front of Zhao Yue’er. Just now, he performed abnormally, but now he is normal, “Listen to me…” Because I have always liked you, I will naturally care about your preferences…

When Qin Yu took the lantern, he was also a little surprised. He thought Jiao Yi bought it for the girl, so he fell silent as he looked at the lantern in his hand.

That’s right, except for himself, since when did Jiao Yi care about others? He is as indifferent to everything other than himself (QY), just as his appearance portrays.

But being his favorite should be impossible, if it’s nothing else, it should be, “Do you want me to find a good relationship?”

“Yes,” Jiao Yi looked at the lantern with soft eyes, “I hope someone will accompany and love Your Highness, I hope that the person His Highness loves also loves His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will never be alone forever.”

Qin Yu’s hand trembled, it was obvious that Jiao Yi had remembered the extremely vicious words that Xun Ling said to him, and used his own words as a way of comforting him.

This man is really… A warm current surged in Qin Yu’s heart, “I’m going to put the lantern on the river now.”

Even though he didn’t care about Xun Ling’s curse, even though he didn’t want to love anyone in the future, there is no doubt that he is moved at this moment and does not want to disappoint the other party.

Immortal Realm

“Lu Xianren, are you still playing?” Sun Ren finished counting the winning bets in a leisurely manner, then raised his head and looked at Lu Meng with an unconcealable smile on his face. Lu Meng clenched his fists, clenched his teeth and stared at the dice on the gaming table, “Come on, why don’t you play? I just lost a few games.”

“Lu Meng, calm down.” Jia Yi still had some reason. Now that they had already invested all the money, they couldn’t be impulsive anymore.

“I’m very calm.” Lu Meng glanced at Jia Yi with bloodshot eyes, and turned back to the dice, “One more game, hurry up!”

“That’s great, let’s do it again.” Sun Ren laughed.
