"I lost, I lost..."

Seeing the empty dice cup, Ye Ming's eyes instantly lost all their sparkle; he knew he had lost, utterly and miserably.

With 0 clicks losing 1 point, Qin Fang once again successfully turned the tables and won this round of the gamble.

Just like in the previous round, where he flipped out that final Ace, overpowering Ye Ming's dealer 8 points with a non-dealer 9 points to clinch the ultimate victory, he had once again defeated his opponent to triumph.

The audience was also dumbfounded; twenty dice had been shaken to form a veritable tower, and yet the total was a pitiful single point. In a gambling game where the smaller number wins, this was already a guaranteed victory—yet, in the end, they lost, defeated by the absurdity of 0 points.

0 points, meaning no points at all.

Now, everyone was puzzled, with the same thought spontaneously emerging in their hearts—"Where did the dice go?"

"You... you cheated!"

Ye Ming had completely lost his mind by that time.

After he had pushed his limits and shaken the twenty dice into a towering column, still to lose to Qin Fang was something that he found absolutely unacceptable.

And in his agitated state, even his speech was somewhat incoherent.

"I cheated? Haha..."

Qin Fang, on the contrary, appeared very calm, and did not get angry at Ye Ming's words; instead, he said with a chuckle, "I won't deny that.... But have you forgotten what we were betting on this round?"

What were they betting on?

This question didn't seem difficult, and what came to most people's minds first was a life-or-death bet, betting on Ye Ming's life.

But what does betting one's life have to do with cheating?

Is it so that if you're betting your life, you can cheat?

What sort of rule is that!

That was the thinking of most people, including those unaware of the truth like Qiao Zhenfei, Li Yang, Jiang Li, and others.

However, those who really knew the score had a different idea. For instance, Ye Ming himself; when Qin Fang uttered those words, his face, already red from excitement, instantly became as white as a sheet, utterly bloodless. He seemed completely deflated, a far cry from his earlier confidence.

Others might not understand why Qin Fang would even agree to a life-or-death matter, but his heart was all too clear—it was because he had discovered Qin Fang was also a member of the Thousand Gate.

Being from the Thousand Gate, naturally one must abide by the rules of the Thousand Gate. In this respect, Qin Fang did exactly that—he didn't shrink back, nor did he evade, but faced Ye Ming's challenge head-on.

What do members of the Thousand Gate bet on?

Of course, it's a contest of their Thousand Skills level!

You surely can't expect two cheaters to compete on who has better gunmanship...

Since it's a competition of Thousand Skills, cheating is naturally inevitable. So him shouting that Qin Fang cheated was truly a joke.

Wasn't he, Ye Ming, also cheating? If it weren't for the aid of the Qianmen Illusion Technique, do you really think Ye Ming could have achieved the towering column with the twenty dice?

It's just that with the Qianmen Illusion Technique at his disposal, no one else noticed that Ye Ming was cheating.

But Qin Fang was different; he had seen through the Qianmen Illusion Technique. Although he still couldn't learn it, that didn't mean he couldn't see it. His Scouting Skill was like the Eye of Truth—no illusion could hide from his sight.

"That's enough, disperse now, disperse..."

Qin Fang had finally won against Ye Ming; the bet was settled, and Ye Ming ultimately lost his life. Whatever Qin Fang wanted to do with him was no issue—after all, Ye Ming had bet his life to Qin Fang.

With the gamble over, the crowd also dispersed, with a few lingering on, seeming to want to get acquainted with Qin Fang, or perhaps some even pondering to ask him to be their master.

Winning twice in a row, against an opponent with considerable skill, was enough to speak volumes about Qin Fang's ability, especially since he admitted to his cheating at the end. But the problem was, in the presence of so many, no one could detect when Qin Fang had cheated.

Twenty dice, all piled into one, too many to grasp with one hand, yet Qin Fang made them disappear without a trace, undetected by all present; none even considered that the dice cup, which had long stopped moving, was empty all along...

Where the real dice went, only Qin Fang himself knew.

"Brother, congratulations! You've truly opened our eyes…"

Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang also came over at this time to offer their congratulations to Qin Fang. After all, the past two rounds of gambling had been incredibly thrilling.

Each time, just when everyone thought Qin Fang was going to lose, he suddenly turned the tables and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The fairly strong Ye Ming was destined to become a tragedy.

Losing once was one thing—after all, lost money can be earned back. But to gamble with his life a second time, and now to have lost it, was a different matter altogether.

As this was mentioned, Qiao Zhenfei couldn't help but glance at Ye Ming, who was next to him with an exceptionally pale face. Then, he whispered, "What about this guy? You're not really going to take his life, are you…?"

Ye Ming had lost, and the whole process had been witnessed by several hundred people present. It would be impossible for him to deny the debt, but now in a society governed by law, murder had its price. Even a prominent figure like him, if he commits a serious homicide, cannot escape culpability…

"Him? For now, I'll just keep him by my side. One more mouth to feed isn't a big deal. After taking care of things here and finishing the Martial World Conference, we'll see... If it really comes down to it, I'll just throw him into the depths of the forest to feed the wolves!"

Looking at Ye Ming, Qin Fang was also a bit vexed. Though Qin Fang had won Ye Ming's life in the bet, how to deal with the man was a tricky issue.

The reason was simple: Ye Ming's behavior had greatly disgusted Qin Fang. It wasn't to the extent of incurring universal loathing, but from his behavior, it was clear that he was no good!

Thinking of this, Qin Fang checked Ye Ming's Sin Points, which were still over eighty. He remained in the Neutral Camp but wasn't far from the Evil Camp.

He might not have committed crimes like murder or arson, but he certainly must have done many bad deeds; otherwise, his Sin Points wouldn't have been so high. Just a little more, and he would be on par with some murderers.

Qin Fang didn't know what to do with Ye Ming, and his casual mention of feeding him to wolves in the deep forest had instantly petrified Ye Ming.

Having lived in modern society for twenty years, being suddenly thrown into the depths of a forest would be intolerable for anyone, let alone someone as cosseted as Ye Ming, who might genuinely perish without ever finding a way out.

With various wild beasts lurking, it wasn't impossible to encounter wolves…

"You... you can't kill me! My sister is the Flower Fairy…"

Ye Ming was now desperate, and suddenly he thought of something and exclaimed very excitedly.

This caught Qin Fang off guard. Beside him, Li Yang and Jiang Li were baffled, utterly confused. Only Qiao Zhenfei, who had heard of this, turned to look at Qin Fang.

The Flower Fairy, a name Qin Fang was not too familiar with, but not completely unheard of either.

At least while he was at Jian Ge, during the Martial World Conference, Luo Xi had mentioned this name. The Flower Fairy was not her real name, but indeed a nickname, and this woman also had another more prestigious title—the Tian Nan Four Shows!

Yes, the Flower Fairy was none other than the sole female member of the Tian Nan Four Shows.

Qin Fang briefly recalled the information Luo Xi had shared with him about the Flower Fairy, such as her real name.

"Your sister is Ye Huan?"

The name should be correct in his memory. Qin Fang now realized, Ye Ming shared Ye Huan's surname, and Ye Huan's Hundred Flowers Sect was located in Shu Nan, the same direction as the Ye Family that Ye Ming came from.

While sharing a surname did not mean much, it was quite a coincidence that Ye Ming and the Flower Fairy Ye Huan were siblings.

"You... you know my sister?"

Hearing Qin Fang correctly name his sister, Ye Ming was taken aback. He had thought to use his sister's reputation to negotiate for himself, not expecting Qin Fang to be seemingly quite familiar with her. This... might make things a little better for him.

If Qin Fang was one of his sister's admirers... Ye Ming suddenly felt his circumstances might not be too dire after all.

"Don't know her!"

But Qin Fang suddenly shook his head, "I've just heard of her…"

Qin Fang spoke the truth. He had heard the name Flower Fairy Ye Huan from Luo Xi. The Martial World Conference was underway, and he had come with Qiao Zhenfei to cure people, so he couldn't watch the tournament. Consequently, he hadn't even seen what Ye Huan looked like.

"As long as you don't kill me, as long as you don't throw me into the deep forest, I... I'll introduce my sister to you!"

Ye Ming was truly despicable, willing to sell out his own sister to save his life.

Of course, Ye Ming wasn't that terrible in reality. He knew well that his sister Ye Huan was quite powerful, ranking among the top martial artists of the younger generation.

What harm would introducing her to Qin Fang do? He hadn't implied anything; it was just an acquaintance. If Qin Fang dared to make any untoward moves, Ye Ming firmly believed his sister would give Qin Fang a thorough thrashing…

Unfortunately for Ye Ming, his clever calculations fell flat, as he was dealing with Qin Fang, not one of the many admirers of the Flower Fairy Ye Huan, so this seduction ploy was useless against him.

In the Southern Martial World, there were only a few exquisite flowers, and the Flower Fairy Ye Huan was one of them. Yet, the others like Luo Xi and Cai Qing also ranked among them, and these two clearly had a closer relationship with Qin Fang. Although the title of Flower Fairy was prestigious, it was hardly enough to make Qin Fang care that much...(To be continued.
