Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 1017 544: Two-Sect Expert Song Qianhun (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3

This is Song Qianhun's principle as the Local Deity, Li Banfeng refrained from commenting: "According to my calculations, the Peddler should have reached Iron Gate Fort, have you seen him, Senior?"

Song Qianhun nodded: "I have. Early this morning, he arrived in my territory. I was just thinking of buying some things from him, but as soon as we met, he left in a hurry because of urgent matters."

"What urgent matters?"

Song Qianhun said, "The Peddler's whereabouts shouldn't be revealed lightly, but I know you're his friend, and you have called yourself his senior. He didn't blame you after he knew the truth, which shows your deep friendship.

How about this, let's gamble again. If you win, I'll tell you the Peddler's whereabouts. If you lose, leave Songling Village immediately and don't tell anyone you've seen me or gambled with me."

This Local Deity seems skilled at gambling, possibly a Gambling Cultivator, and having lost to Li Banfeng earlier, which might severely damage his reputation.

But he had also lost to Gui Jianchou, so it seems his luck in gambling is a bit off today.

In any case, if Li Banfeng wants to know the Peddler's whereabouts, he must gamble with him.

After agreeing on the bet, Song Qianhun took out a set of Pai Jiu.

Li Banfeng froze; he didn't know how to play Pai Jiu.

"Can we change the gambling method?"

Song Qianhun shook his head: "The game I proposed, I set the rules."

The Gloves in Li Banfeng's breast pocket whispered: "Boss, don't worry, leave this to me, I'm an expert!"

With these words from the Gloves, Li Banfeng was relieved. They both drew tiles and took a look, Song Qianhun remained expressionless, his fingers slightly trembling.

The Gloves immediately said: "Boss, he's cheating, hiding the tiles in his sleeve. If he denies it, make him shake them out!"

Li Banfeng coughed lightly: "Senior, I sincerely ask for your guidance, but using cheating techniques makes it meaningless."

Song Qianhun blushed and put the Pai Jiu away.

This is his redeeming quality, he never reneges on bets.

"My tactics were seen through, so naturally, I lost. I'll tell you the Peddler's whereabouts right away. He received news that Inner State People infiltrated Puluo State, he couldn't even bother with his business and rushed to deal with it."

"Did he mention where it took place?"

Song Qianhun shook his head: "I've heard about Inner State People infiltrating Puluo State as well. The Peddler surely has a way to handle it, so you don't need to worry."

Li Banfeng said: "After dealing with the Inner State People, should the Peddler be coming back to Iron Gate Fort?"

Song Qianhun thought and said: "Not necessarily, it depends on whether the matter is resolved smoothly."

Li Banfeng said: "If the Peddler returns to Iron Gate Fort, please pass a message for me."

Song Qianhun sneered: "Passing a message for you is doable, but I am someone who avoids trouble, if you really want me to pass this message..."

Li Banfeng interjected: "Then it's another gamble, right?"

Song Qianhun nodded, taking out two dice cups: "We each have a set of dice, and we go by points. One round decides the winner,

if you win, I'll pass your message. If you lose, leave immediately and do not mention today's events to anyone, what do you think?"

"Alright!"

Li Banfeng accepted the dice cup, but before he could act, Song Qianhun started shaking first.

Hearing the sound, the Gloves whispered: "Not good!"

"Why not?"

"Boss, this dice cup is too loud, he's using the Split Dice Technique to shake the dice into two halves."

"What good does that do?"

"The dice break, originally three dice become six, adding up to twenty-one points. Boss, we've met an expert, winning won't be easy,

I'll try a trick, but at most, we get a draw. If he finds out, we should concede early,

this guy is probably a Gambling Cultivator, and defaulting in front of one will cause us big trouble!"

Reneging isn't an option. If Song Qianhun really doesn't want to pass the message, Li Qi will think of another way.

As they spoke, the sound of shaking dice grew louder.

Bam!

Song Qianhun slammed the dice cup on the ground and looked at Li Banfeng: "Why aren't you moving?"

Li Banfeng said: "I'm waiting for you, Senior..."

"No need to wait, you have no chance!" Song Qianhun lifted the dice cup. The three dice were shaken to smithereens, reduced to dust.

The Gloves were puzzled.

Li Banfeng was also puzzled.

"Senior, what's the point count?"

A gust of cold wind blew, scattering the dust of the dice, not a trace left.

The Gloves whispered: "Seems like he overdid it."

The scene was awkward. Song Qianhun pursed his lips and placed the dice cup back on the ground, saying to Li Banfeng: "You don't need to shake, tell me, what message do you want passed?"

The surrounding Magical Treasures were mocking Song Qianhun, but Li Banfeng did not laugh.

Playing with dice seems to be Song Qianhun's hobby. Whether it's good or bad is one thing, at least he's quite serious about it.

Li Banfeng said: "I found out some information concerning the safety of Puluo State. If you encounter the Peddler, please have him wait for me at Iron Gate Fort."

Song Qianhun nodded: "Don't worry, I will pass the message. If the Peddler comes, I'll have that friend selling rice deliver the message to you,

I'd like to bring the villagers of Songling Village and that friend selling rice back together, if you don't leave, we'll have to gamble again."

Song Qianhun's intention was clear, he didn't want Li Banfeng to see his moving techniques.

Li Banfeng waved his hand: "No more gambling, I'll take my leave, Senior, having a hobby is fine, just for fun is all, but don't gamble with money, you'll lose everything in the blink of an eye."
