<h4>Chapter 1224: Chapter 1236</h4>


    Chu Geughed, clicking his tongue and said, "What chips do you have left topare with me now?"


    Even though their conversation was in hushed tones earlier, he heard everything clearly; this hotel waspletely owned by Wei Xiang.


    Wei Xiang stared closely at Chu Ge, "Just tell me, do you darepete with me or not!"


    Chu Ge gave Wei Xiang a deep look, then shook his head, "I have to apany my girlfriend to danceter, I don’t have spare time for this."


    "I don’t mean right now!"


    Wei Xiang pressed both hands on the table, his eyes fixed on Chu Ge, asking word by word, "In a few days! I want another match against you! Do you dare!"


    Seeing Wei Xiang so persistent and with everyone watching, if he refused, he would seem stingy.


    "Sure, how do you want to gamble."


    Chu Ge agreed readily.


    Nangong Man Sha seemed unsurprised, almost as if she expected his agreement.


    "As for how to gamble, we’ll talk when the timees! I want to challenge you! Seven days from now, here, I want another match against you! If you lose, hand over the hotel and the Earth Ganoderma to me!"


    Chu Ge nodded without hesitation, "Alright, no problem, but what if you lose?"


    Wei Xiang pursed his lips tightly, not speaking.


    Chu Ge chuckled, "If I’m not mistaken, you probably hold shares of the Wei Family. If you lose, give me ten percent of those shares, how about it?"


    Wei Xiang’s expression changed, he sneered, "You sure have a big mouth."


    Even the people around were staring at Chu Ge in shock; ten percent of the Wei Family shares—a yearly dividend from those could let him livefortably for the rest of his life; it’s not a small amount.


    Mentioning shares made Yuwen Kangli’s face sh a bit of embarrassment; he had lost the shares in his hand to Chu Ge back then.


    But speaking of it, Chu Ge indeed had a particr fondness for shares; he requested them from me before and now asks Wei Xiang for them.


    With both families’ reputation and status in the Capital City, ten percent of shares can let him live a life of extravagance for decades without lifting a finger.


    "What, Mr. Wei doesn’t dare?"


    Chu Ge asked again, seeing Wei Xiang hesitating, he couldn’t help but urge him.


    "What’s there to dare or not! You, I hope you won’t regret it!"


    Wei Xiang red viciously at Chu Ge and said.


    "There are so many people listening, I won’t regret it. I just ask all present to witness for me."


    Chu Ge bowed to those watching the excitement.


    Someone among them epted his words, saying loudly, "Talk is cheap; write a note with your stakes down, lest someone backtracks by then."


    This was a subtle jab at Wei Xiang, taunting him for dying and not fulfilling his promise promptly earlier.


    Chu Ge chuckled, saying to the Croupier, "Then trouble the croupier to bring another piece of paper."


    The Croupier responded and soon brought a paper, on which he wrote down both their stakes and added the date.


    And so, the news that Chu Ge and Wei Xiang wouldpete again in seven days spread rapidly, quickly known by the whole upper-ss society.


    After leaving the Gambling Stone Field, Chu Ge returned to the banquet hall.


    Yuwen Kangli was smiling cheerfully, feeling much better.


    Chu Ge nced at him sideways, teasingly said, "Young Master Yu Wen, you must have earned quite a lot today, huh."


    Yuwen Kangli touched his nose, grinning at Chu Ge, "Thanks to you, yes, enough to cover half a year’s living expenses."


    Nangong Man Sha shook her head in amusement, "Young Master Yu Wen, you shouldn’t let others hear that. If people knew that the Eldest Young Master of the Yuwen Family is so eager for money, they’dugh."


    But Yuwen Kangli waved his hand carelessly, "What’s wrong with loving money?"


    "There’s nothing wrong with loving money, but you’re the Eldest Young Master of the Yuwen Family; getting so happy over a bit of money would be hard for people to believe if shared."


    Yuwen Kangli still didn’t care; he sat there, sighed deeply, and looked ahead, feeling somewhat sentimental.


    After the recent ups and downs, he’s understood many lessons, feeling like he’s grown significantly overnight.


    On the other side, Wei Xiang angrily arrived at the private room, with Shen Xuan following, "Wei Xiang, you’re really going to gamble with Chu Ge again?"


    Wei Xiang sneered lightly, "Do I have any choice?"


    He’s signed the gambling contract! He has no chance to back out at all!


    Shen Xuan sighed, "But have you considered that even if you gamble again, you might still end up losing?"


    Wei Xiang straightened up, ring at Shen Xuan, "What do you mean? Is this how little you trust me? Are you my friend or not!"


    Shen Xuan shook his head, sighed lightly, "I’m advising you because I see you as a friend; if you’ve really decided to gamble again, I suggest you find some help."


    Wei Xiang looked at Shen Xuan, confused, "Help? What do you mean?"


    Shen Xuan touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "I have a feeling Chu Ge isn’t an ordinary person; if I’m not wrong, he might be a cultivator. Cultivators can see through Jade easily; you can’t beat him."


    Wei Xiang puzzled, "What do you mean? Who told you this?"


    "It’s not from anyone; it’s a feeling; you get it?"


    Shen Xuan sighed, "You know my father is obsessed with martial arts; he’s been researching cultivation. Observing Chu Ge closely made me notice he has a quality only cultivators possess."


    Shen Xuan thought a bit more, exined again, "Of course, it’s just a guess, no solid evidence, but it’s better to be cautious."


    Wei Xiang contemted for a moment, looked at Shen Xuan, and asked, "Do you know anyone? Rmend some people."


    "What people?" Shen Xuan instinctively asked.


    "Cultivators, of course. I have topletely defeat Chu Ge in seven days."


    He has to win back a round, or his reputation will be ruined!


    Shen Xuan thought for a while, nodded lightly, "Okay, leave this to me."


    Wei Xiang heard, raised his hand to pat Shen Xuan’s shoulder, and said earnestly, "Good brother!"


    Shen Xuan smiled slightly at him, his eyes glinting inscrutably.


    He pondered, contemting something internally.
