<h4>Chapter 739: Chapter 0741: Congrattions on the Grand Opening</h4>


    Jian Chunqiu exined: "Some people, in order to cultivate ancient martial arts, resort to unorthodox means to achieve their goals, such as the ck Witch Sect. The ancient martial arts they practice are crooked paths. Once they fail to cultivate sessfully, they will suffer from aftereffects."


    Chu Ge suddenly realized, "That person just now, can you tell which Sect he’s from?"


    Jian Chunqiu nced at him indifferently, "Didn’t I just tell you?"


    Chu Ge was stunned, "ck Witch Sect?"


    "That’s right, there’s a rotten aura emanating from his body, from deep within his bones. Although he has deliberately used perfume to cover it up, as an Ancient Martial Artist, one can still detect that scent on him."


    With a snort, Jian Chunqiu said, "Unexpectedly, even the crooked martial arts of the ck Witch Sect can be unsessfully cultivated by some."


    Chu Ge fell silent, "Although we can detect that scent on him, ordinary people cannot, and with the perfume masking his natural odor, it makes it even harder for people to notice."


    Jian Chunqiu looked sideways; what Chu Ge said was right. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect such individuals because, apart from the scent they carry, they are just like normal people. The smell on these people is indelible and radiates from their bones; they can only use such a clumsy method to conceal it.


    Chu Ge frowned tightly, such people have no lethality to speak of, but that’s only for those who know martial arts. If they encounter ordinary people...


    Chu Ge felt a bit worried in his heart; he didn’t believe in love at first sight, and with the Capital City being unsettled, he was concerned that someone might deliberately approach Mu Bingtong.


    Jian Chunqiu patted Chu Ge on the shoulder and said, "There’s no avoiding such things; we can only be more careful recently. Remind that girl Mu Bingtong not to go out alone with strangers."


    Chu Ge nodded and then fell silent.


    In the afternoon, the Gambling Stone Field, without Nangong Man Sha overseeing it, indeed had fewer people, but there were still enough to keep them busy.


    Chu Ge was busy in the Gambling Stone Field until past seven in the evening before he started to feel hungry.


    He looked at the time; it was nearly eight o’clock. He stopped what he was doing and prepared to go to the vi to check on Mu Bingtong.


    He almost forgot that there was someone waiting for him in the vi.


    The Gambling Stone Field was twice as crowded in the evening as it was in the afternoon. As he watched the tide of people, he felt that walking away at such a time was not appropriate.


    He decided to call Mu Bingtong first. The phone rang for a while before a soft voice came from the other end, "Hello?"


    "Are you not awake yet?" Chu Ge somewhat regretted calling.


    Inside the vi, Mu Bingtong opened her eyes and saw that it was already dark outside. She yawned and slowly sat up, "I’m getting up now."


    Chu Ge grunted in acknowledgment, then said to her, "I’ll pick you up now, and then we’ll go for dinner."


    Mu Bingtong agreed and then hung up. She was about to get out of bed when her phone rang again; it was a call from Nangong Man Sha.


    Nangong Man Sha invited Mu Bingtong to dinner. Mu Bingtong thought about it; Chu Ge’s Gambling Stone Field had just opened and must be very busy, so she agreed.


    She then called Chu Ge, told him about the arrangements, and Chu Ge didn’t say much.


    After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge turned around and saw Liu Yue standing behind him, holding a tray of steaming meals.


    "Mr. Chu, you’ve been busy all day and haven’t had a meal yet," said Liu Yue, who didn’t tell Chu Ge that she had personally prepared the food, worried that it might reveal her little scheme.


    Chu Ge smiled, "Thank you, Sister Liu Yue."


    Since Mu Bingtong didn’t need him, there was no need for him to return, so he stayed at the Gambling Stone Field and continued to manage the shop.


    Chu Ge held his meal and made his way to a corner, eating heartily.


    Liu Yue silently watched him, and seeing how happily he ate, she felt joy in her heart too.


    As Chu Ge ate, he noticed someone watching him. He looked up and was met with Liu Yue’s joyful gaze, which startled him for a moment.


    Liu Yue hadn’t expected Chu Ge to suddenly look up. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned away, saying to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, please enjoy your meal at your leisure, I have other matters to attend to."


    Chu Ge stopped Liu Yue and asked with concern, "Sister Liu Yue, have you eaten?"


    Liu Yue nodded, "Yes, I have."


    Chu Ge responded with an "Oh," not questioning any further. He continued eating and muttered to himself, "This takeout is really not bad; I should remember this ce."


    Even though he spoke softly, Liu Yue overheard hisment, and it warmed her heart.


    While Chu Ge ate, Lin Dong suddenly rushed over, panting, "Mr. Chu, Uncle Liu is here."


    Uncle Liu? Which Uncle Liu?


    Chu Ge couldn’t recall for a moment.


    Lin Dong pointed at the furniture and exined, "The Uncle Liu who made all this furniture for us."


    Chu Ge realized instantly. He set down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, stood up, and asked further, "Why did hee?"


    Lin Dong shook his head, "It seems that he came to congratte us on our opening."


    After Lin Dong spoke, he felt that Uncle Liu was rather unreliable, and with a tone ofint, he said, "That’s really something, huh? Whoes to offer congrattions in the middle of the night, without even bringing a gift?"


    Lin Dong wasn’t really keen on the gift itself; he just felt that Uncle Liu seemed to have ill intentions.


    Chu Ge didn’t say anything, but instead walked out with long strides.


    In the lobby downstairs, he saw Uncle Liu carefully examining the disy cabs that showcased various stones and jade pieces.


    Hearing Chu Ge’s approach, Uncle Liu stood up straight, looked at Chu Ge, and said with a heartyugh, "Not bad, Brother Chu Ge, your business looks like it has quite the scale."


    Chu Ge smiled, "Uncle Liu, you’re kidding. Compared to your furniture shop, what’s mine to speak of?"


    Chu Ge was already well-aware of Uncle Liu’s identity, but since Uncle Liu preferred not to disclose it, Chu Ge wouldn’t try to expose anything either.


    "Uncle Liu, did you have some other reason foring over sote today?" Chu Ge asked.


    Uncle Liu chuckled, "What, do you feel bothered that I’vee to offer congrattions sote?"


    "No, no, no, I warmly wee Uncle Liu’s congrattions anytime," Chu Ge chuckled.


    Uncle Liu gave him a look, knowing he was just joking, and decided not to take it to heart.


    "Actually," Uncle Liu spoke straightforwardly, "I’vee not just to offer congrattions."


    Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately felt somewhat smug—he knew it! Uncle Liu wouldn’te without a reason!
