"Oh? What do you mean?" Xue An said, seemingly half smiling.
"Heh, do you really think what you did can be kept a secret from everyone? You’re mistaken! Do you know what I’ve just done?"
"What did you do?"
"I just inspected all the teacups in the Slaughter Casino and found that except for a few that were accidentally shattered, only your teacup is missing. Do you know what that means?" Lu Yushi sneered.
"What does it mean?" Xue An still showed no sign of panic.
"Still pretending to be ignorant? Fine, let me enlighten you. When Lü Yangyan was fighting and the seal suddenly broke, I thought it was odd. Later, I discovered through the residual powder that what shattered the seal on him was indeed a teacup—and it was a teacup from the Slaughter Casino!"
"And now, only your teacup is missing from the entire casino, how do you explain this?"
Lu Yushi’s words caused Gu Yushan to be overjoyed.
"So that’s how it is! I was wondering why Lü Yangyan’s seal suddenly disappeared—turns out it was your trickery! Now what do you have to say?"
He Yunxi gazed quietly at Xue An, her eyes growing colder though she spoke no words.
Xue An sighed lightly, "A small oversight amidst meticulous planning. I truly hadn’t considered this—you’re correct! The seal on that young man was indeed broken by me!"
"Hahaha, you finally admit it!" Gu Yushan’s excitement twisted his features.
"Someone, capture this cheat who works behind the scenes, and interrogate him thoroughly to find out who his accomplices are."
With just a few sentences, Xue An was labeled as having accomplices and plotting against The Drunken Life Pavilion, demonstrating how adept Gu Yushan was at framing others.
Upon his words, many stern-faced, intimidating henchmen appeared along the corridor outside.
These henchmen surrounded the private room tightly, eyeing Xue An like hawks.
They awaited He Yunxi’s order to rush in and seize Xue An.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Yue Qinghuan’s face turned slightly pale, "Xue An..."
Xue An chuckled softly, shook his head slightly at her, signaling not to be afraid, and then looked at He Yunxi.
"So? Planning to renege on the deal and resort to violence?"
Gu Yushan sneered, "Kid, seems like you’re feverish and muddle-headed, not seeing the situation? You’re the one who cheated first, yet you accuse us of reneging on the deal?"
Before he could finish, He Yunxi suddenly snapped, "Shut up!"
Gu Yushan was taken aback.
"I haven’t spoken, so there’s no place for you here!"
Gu Yushan had to reluctantly shut his mouth.
Then He Yunxi turned a cold gaze towards Xue An.
"At this point, do you have anything else to say?"
Xue An smiled faintly, "Nothing much, just want to make a deal with you!"
"Oh? A deal? What kind of deal?"
"I can give up all the chips I won from gambling, but you must release Lü Yangyan’s sister whom you have captured!"
He Yunxi’s face darkened, and she signaled with her eyes for Gu Yushan and Lu Yushi to calm down, then spoke coldly, "Continue!"
"I believe you’ve also discovered that I came from Bead City, and before I arrived, I was entrusted with a mission by the Shadow Turtle Emperor!"
Upon the mention of the Shadow Turtle Emperor, He Yunxi’s expression changed slightly, "So you’re with the Ghost Emperor?"
Xue An shook his head with a smile, "I’m not, but I’m entrusted by the Shadow Turtle Emperor, naturally I have to fulfill his request! I know some people of the Shadow Turtle Race are in your Drunken Life Pavilion, so I hope you can release them as well!"
He Yunxi’s face grew more intriguing, "Anything else?"
"Of course, I’m sure your Drunken Life Pavilion wouldn’t target the Shadow Turtle Race for no reason, so I want to know who is behind instructing you! If you fulfill these three things, we can write off all past accounts, what do you think?" Xue An said softly.
