　　Who wants to bet with you like this？
　　Before Xu Taiping could speak, Xuan Yuan Xueluo on the side flatly refused Zhou Liang’s proposal.
　　In her opinion, although Xu Taiping won last time, no one can be sure about luck, and there is no need to bet on one’s life.
　　But Miss Xueluo, our gambling house will close in half a stick of incense.
　　Zhou Liang put down the handful of broken silver in his hand, fiddling with it while looking at Xuan Yuan Xueluo with a fake smile.
　　Then we’ll come and bet again tomorrow！
　　Xuan Yuan Xueluo saw that Zhou Liang seemed a bit abnormal, and instinctively became somewhat vigilant in her heart.
　　And almost at the same time, Old Zhang and Xu Taiping simultaneously smelled a strange fragrance that only they, these outsiders, could smell.
　　”Young master, there is thesmell of a monster in this gambling house.”
　　Old Zhang transmitted his voice to Xu Taiping and said.
Thissmell appears at this time. Could it be…
　　While transmitting his voice to Old Zhang, Xu Taiping looked at Zhou Liang.
　　”When a monster uses its spiritual power, it cannot hide itssmell. Could it be that he was just transmitting his voice to someone？”
　　Old Zhang suddenly realized.
　　This someone, currently speaking, is most likely this Zhou Liang.
　　”Miss Xue Luo, you really have a bad memory. Five days before the start of the Iron Armor Arena, the gambling houses in Qixian Town are not allowed to open.”
　　At this time, that Zhou Liang spoke again.
　　When Xuan Yuan Xue Luo heard this, her brows furrowed tightly.
　　What Zhou Liang said was right. In order to avoid the townspeople gathering to gamble during the Iron Armor Arena, the gambling houses are not allowed to open five days before the start of the Iron Armor Arena.
　　”Miss　Xue　Luo.”
　　While Xuan Yuan Xue Luo was hesitating, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
　　”What…　what’s　wrong？”
Being stared at by Xu Taiping unexpectedly that Xuan Yuan Xue Luo felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and even the sound of her speech was a little stuttering.
　　”Miss Xue Luo, if this counts as one of your commissions, I am willing to bet with him.”
　　Xu Taiping said seriously with a straight face.
　　”As long as it is my commission, you… you are willing to bet with him？”
　　Xuan Yuan Xueluo was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t hear clearly, and confirmed it with Xu Taiping again.
　　“Hmm！”
　　Xu Taiping nodded very seriously, and there was even an expectant look in his eyes.
　　“But if you lose, you will lose a hand.”
　　Xuan Yuan Xueluo asked with a frown.
　　“Don’t　be　afraid！”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile.
　　Hearing Xu Taiping’s “Don’t be afraid”, Xuan Yuan Xueluo felt as if her chest had been hit hard by something, and her heart also began to beat violently. The scenes of Xu Taiping just saying those two sentences kept appearing in her mind, and then she couldn’t help but have all kinds of wild thoughts——
　　“He said that as long as it is my commission, he is not afraid of losing a hand？”
　　“This little lecher, wouldn’t… wouldn’t… wouldn’t he like… like me？”
　　Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan Xueluo suddenly woke up and then blurted out：
　　“No way！”
　　“Ah？　No　way.”
　　When Xu Taiping heard this, he was suddenly disappointed and thought to himself：
　　“It really isn’t an easy thing to get the reward of the Great Emperor Xuanhuang by completing the commissions of the people in the tower.”
　　That’s right. The reason why he specifically confirmed with Xuan Yuan Xueluo whether this was her commission was actually to earn a reward.
　　And as soon as Xuan Yuan Xueluo spoke, she realized that she had just misspoken, so she quickly added：
　　“I, I mean, if you have confidence, I can entrust you and give you the appropriate reward, but, but you, but you must not pester me afterwards！ Got it？”
　　“Not allowed to stop you？”
　　Xu Taiping always felt that it was a bit difficult to communicate with Miss Xueluo.
　　However, since Xuanyuan Xueluo was willing to entrust him, he didn’t bother to care about these things. Immediately following Xuanyuan Xueluo’s words, he nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, okay. Okay, regardless of winning or losing in this game, I will never stop you, Miss Xueluo.”
　　Then, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Liang and said：
　　“Young Master Zhou, good things come in pairs. Why don’t you come up with another three hundred thousand taels and buy my other hand as well.”
　　As he spoke, Xu Taiping put both of his hands on the gambling table.
Zhou Liang obviously didn’t expect Xu Taiping to actually dare to increase the bet. For a moment he didn’t know how to respond. Until he heard a woman’s voice in his mind——
　　“Agree　to　him.”
　　Then, Zhou Liang raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping with a confident smile again and said：
　　“Okay！”
　　After that, he grabbed a handful of loose silver from a box beside him, and then held his fist and put it on the table and said：
　　“Odd　or　even.”
　　Actually, the moment he grabbed the silver, Zhou Liang already knew whether the number of silver in his hand was even or odd.
　　Xu Taiping, after thinking seriously for a while, suddenly turned his head and asked Xuanyuan Xueluo：
　　”Miss Xueluo, do you like odd numbers or even numbers？”
　　Xuanyuan Xueluo was first stunned by Xu Taiping’s question, and then her mind was filled with thoughts again：
“why did he suddenly ask me whether I like odd numbers or even numbers? Could it be that he is to imply something to me? Odd numbers, even numbers, single person, double people, alone, in pairs… Sure enough, this little lecher just can’t give up his evil intentions!
　　Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Xueluo immediately crossed her arms and raised her chin and said：
　　”This girl has always liked to come and go alone, so naturally… naturally I like odd numbers more！”
　　”Odd numbers…”
　　Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully, and then turned to look at Zhou Liang and said：
　　”Then I choose odd numbers.”
　　Actually, in his heart, he wanted to choose even numbers, but since he had asked Miss Xueluo, it wouldn’t be very good to change.
　　”Anyway, it’s also about luck. In short, it’s up to you, Golden Scale List.”
　　After making the choice, he muttered to himself in his heart.
