Jiang Xiaobai suppressed his emotions and said indifferently, “Why are you looking for me?”
“Hmph, today, you, a good-for-nothing mortal, caused me to lose tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones. This debt should be settled no matter what, right?”
Ao Cheng snorted coldly. Jiang Xiaobai could even hear the sound of bones cracking as the other party clenched his fist.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a problem that was difficult to solve. On the contrary, this was an opportunity.
Jiang Xiaobai was still having a headache just now. Now, the other party had delivered himself to his doorstep.
If he could build a good relationship with the Eldest Young Master of Dragon Valley, it would be extremely advantageous for him in his current situation.
Attack?
It was unlikely. Jiang Xiaobai had seen the strength he had. It was very strong and wasn’t something he could deal with.
If he wanted to use force to convince this hotheaded youth, it was obviously impossible. Instead, it would backfire.
At that moment, an undetectable craftiness flashed in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes.
“You want me to compensate you for your losses?” Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly and shook his head. “I’m sorry, that’s impossible.”
Ao Cheng immediately became angry. “D*mn mortal, are you courting death?”
“Let’s not talk about other things first. Do you think I can take out this money?”
“Uh… that’s true.”
Ao Cheng was suddenly stunned.
Only then did he remember that the other party was only a mortal. He probably didn’t even know what spirit stones were.
He had been too angry just now and had actually overlooked this matter.
But what about his loss?
Was it all for nothing?
Just as Ao Cheng was about to explode with anger, Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly again.
“You want your losses?”
“Of course.”
“Let me ask you one more question. How did you place the bet back then?”
Ao Cheng frowned and casually told Jiang Xiaobai what had happened back then.
It turned out that the first person to open the bet was not Ao Cheng, but another guy named Ao Fang. After losing once, Ao Cheng refused to accept it and opened the bet himself.
As a result, he lost more than ten thousand spirit stones.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai asked about Ao Fang’s character and whether there were any grudges between him and Ao Cheng.
The result was that Ao Fang was extremely treacherous. Moreover, he had been holding a grudge because Ao Cheng had won something over him from an auction.
Unfortunately, Ao Cheng was Ao Yan’s younger brother, so Ao Fang did not dare to act recklessly.
At this point, Jiang Xiaobai also roughly understood that his brother-in-law was simply stupid to the heavens.
It was obviously a trap!
First of all, as a mortal, Jiang Xiaobai dared to propose a toast to tens of thousands of people. This was enough to prove that there was something wrong.
Moreover, after Ao Tianheng embarrassed him, Jiang Xiaobai continued to propose a toast.
Smart people knew that Jiang Xiaobai had his own tricks up his sleeves. He either had other tricks up his sleeve or he could really hold his liquor well.
When Ao Fang first opened the game, Jiang Xiaobai had only drunk three glasses of wine.
The only thing Jiang Xiaobai could not figure out was why Ao Cheng had directly started the game after losing just one game?
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said, “Do you like to play games like this?”
Ao Cheng nodded. “That’s right. When I have nothing to do, I like to play a few rounds. However, it’s just a bet with someone. I’ve never been to a place like the gambling den.”
“Are you afraid that your sister will beat you up?”
Ao Cheng’s expression immediately changed.
“Don’t talk too much. Be careful that you won’t even know how you died.”
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes. Well, this guy liked to use death to force others.
He used the death of others to force others.
It was simply shameful! Hateful!
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes and smiled. “Do you want to double the money you lost?”
Hearing this, Ao Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and began to size up Jiang Xiaobai.
“Mortal, with just you?” Ao Cheng looked at him for a long time before he sneered.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t get angry and said, “It’s not impossible for me to help you, but I need you to trust me 100%. Only then can you do it.”
Ao Cheng narrowed his eyes and fell into hesitation.
After all, Jiang Xiaobai was a mortal, and the two of them had never interacted before today.
It was not a good thing to rashly believe each other.
But when he thought about the tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones he had lost today, Ao Cheng panicked.
If Ao Yan found out about this, even if he didn’t die, he would lose a layer of skin.
Moreover, he was indeed unhappy about losing money.
It would be good enough if he could get it back, but if he could get more, it was not impossible.
Ao Cheng thought about it in his heart and gritted his teeth.
Fine!
“Tell me, how can I get the money back?”
A harmless smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
“Come, come, let’s talk in detail.”
Led by Ao Cheng, the two of them came to a quiet small pavilion. After making sure that there was no one around, they began to plan in secret.
After chatting for two hours, the two of them parted.
Before they left, Ao Cheng’s expression was much better, and his eyes were filled with great excitement.
It was as if he had already seen the scene of him taking back several times the number of spirit stones!
Jiang Xiaobai secretly laughed in his heart at this.
If Ao Cheng really followed his plan to do things, with his arrogant and despotic appearance, he would definitely be able to accomplish something!
From the looks of it, he had also made some achievements in conquering his brother-in-law!
His situation in Dragon Valley was much better, but it was a pity that Jiang Xiaobai found that he was still unable to defeat anyone.
This gave him a headache. His strength was not enough!
“It seems that I still have to increase my strength. Only by increasing my strength can I have more say. At that time, there is no need to be so secretive.”
As for increasing his strength, he could only rely on the system.
Dragon Valley’s side wasn’t in a hurry, but the main point was that the Ancient Clan would arrive in a month.
Perhaps the Ancient Clan would attack him in a fit of rage. If he couldn’t defeat them, he would definitely die.
Increasing his strength in a month was only possible with the system!
As for increasing his strength, Jiang Xiaobai also began to plan.
He couldn’t delay either!
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai pushed open the door and found Ao Yan sitting on a chair, looking at him indifferently.
“What did you do?” Ao Yan said softly.
At this moment, the coldness on her body had lessened a lot, but it could be seen from her eyes.
She was still a princess who had no feelings.
“Nothing. I met a brother who I can talk to. We just chatted a little more.”
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t mention that the person was her biological brother.
Ao Yan nodded after hearing that and threw a storage ring to Jiang Xiaobai.
“There are a thousand high-grade spirit stones in it. This time, I owe you.”
“You’ve already paid it back. Let’s forget about this money.”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled indifferently.
When Ao Yan heard that, she was immediately surprised and her eyes were filled with shock.
Then, Jiang Xiaobai ignored Ao Yan’s gaze and directly picked up the blanket from the side and laid it flat on the floor.
“Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour?”
“If you’re not sleeping, I’ll go to sleep first. Ahaha… I’m so sleepy.”
After yawning, Jiang Xiaobai fell into a deep sleep.
With this action, Ao Yan was instantly dumbfounded.
At this moment, Ao Yan felt that she could not see through this mortal, especially after the series of actions today.
The more she thought about it, the more she frowned.
No matter how she looked at it, Jiang Xiaobai was not a mortal!
“Don’t be so anxious.”
“Answer my question.. As a mortal, how can you refine pills?”
