"Hmph, do you think you can match my sister Little Red Fish in gambling skills? My sister the Red Fish is here to claim the title of Queen of Gamblers. This time, I’m relying on her to win money." Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui said proudly, her beautiful face filled with affection as she looked at Little Red Fish.
After repeated discussions between Chu Shaotian and Lu Ziang, they decided that the top one hundred male and female competitors would be awarded the title of Gambler, while the top ten would receive the title of General Gambler. The final male and female winners would respectively earn the titles of Dragon Lake Academy’s Gambling Queen and Queen of Gamblers. The ultimate competition would be a showdown between the Gambling Queen and the Queen of Gamblers!
And Little Red Fish's goal this time was to become the Queen of Gamblers.
Little Red Fish? When Guan Yue looked at her again, her expression changed: this little girl was only about ten years old, yet she was a Guardian Realm! Moreover, she was a Guardian Realm capable of entering Dragon Lake Academy, which surely meant she was not weak.
Guan Yue glanced up at Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, realizing they were a pair of extraordinary sisters!
Guan Yue was truly speechless.
At that moment, Guan Yue saw Huangfu Jiayin and another girl walking towards her, so she said to Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui: “Hu Hui, I have something to attend to. Let’s talk later.”
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui glanced at Huangfu Jiayin and her companion, then very naturally told Guan Yue: “You must find Guan Yue, tell him I’m waiting for him at Dragon Lake Academy. He has to come find me.” After saying that, she entered with Little Red Fish to participate in the competition.
As Huangfu Jiayin walked along, she suddenly spotted Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui standing by the roadside talking to a boy. Curious because she still vividly remembered Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, she rushed over when she heard her mention Guan Yue, eager to inquire about his whereabouts. They had been at Dragon Lake Academy for some time but had yet to find Guan Yue, which made them very anxious.
Ouyang Shaohua had told them that Guan Yue would definitely come to Dragon Lake Academy, as it was their prior agreement. However, with so many people in the vast academy, how could they possibly find him? So when she heard Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui mention his name, she became excited.
Seeing that Huangfu Jiayin was hastily chasing after Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, Guan Yue immediately used a whispering technique to call out to her: “Jia Yin, it’s me, Guan Yue. I’m right here. I just saw you all. Is Sister He Bi here? Has Ouyang Shaohua arrived?”
Upon hearing the familiar voice of Guan Yue, Huangfu Jiayin stopped in her tracks. She turned around in shock and saw that Guan Yue was approaching her, but he looked completely different from the past, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Realizing that she didn’t recognize him anymore, Guan Yue smiled and said: “Jia Yin, I’ve changed my appearance. Has your sister come?”
When he mentioned her sister, Huangfu Jiayin replied: “My sister hasn’t come; she went to Chunhua Women's Academy with Sister Yi Qian. So did Ouyang Shaohua.
"What?" Guan Yue's eyes widened even more than longan fruit. "Ouyang Shaohua didn't come? Why? Why did she go to Girls' Academy?"
Huangfu Jiayin approached Guan Yue, examining her closely with a look of disbelief, trying to find a trace of Guan Yue's original impression. Guan Yue softly said, "When I have time, I'll let you confirm it. This place isn't convenient. You tell me why Ouyang Shaohua isn't at Dragon Lake Academy; we had an agreement."
"Well," Huangfu Jiayin hesitated for a moment and then smiled lightly. "It's not convenient here. Let's talk slowly when we have time, okay?"
Guan Yue knew she still doubted her identity. So she said to her, "You tell me your address, and I'll come find you later."
"Sure, but you need to come early. We've been looking for you. Sister He Bi's place is 1278 North Lane, Room 3. Sister He Bi is our district head. Once you get there, just ask for the fairy; everyone knows her." From Huangfu Jiayin's face, it was clear that she envied He Bi's fairy status very much. However, she still didn't trust herself.
"Okay, I'll go as soon as possible. Then I'll head over to participate in the competition." After saying goodbye to Huangfu Jiayin, Guan Yue walked directly into the Competition Venue to find her seat since the earlier rounds of elimination did not have assigned numbers. Only those who qualified for the semifinals would have assigned numbers.
Huangfu Jiayin watched his back and murmured, "Is he really Guan Yue?"
At this moment, Guan Yue felt both angry and worried, making her very anxious and unstable.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin spoke up: "Brother Guan, don't be upset; that's not good."
Gao Yuxin's gentle words were like a wake-up call for Guan Yue. She suddenly realized, "I am a Disciple; I am a Warrior. I could face crises or death at any moment. How can I be upset? Since I've chosen the path of a Disciple, I've forfeited the right to act freely and the right to experience emotions like an ordinary person. As a Disciple, I can only keep my feelings hidden so that others remain unaware; this ensures that I don't give anyone the opportunity to ambush me.
This situation must never happen again; I must bury my emotions deep inside and not let them affect my alertness! This is absolutely crucial for a Disciple!
Guan Yue calmed down and waited for four people to gather on stage before the competition began. Since the elimination rounds were betting matches, they proceeded quickly.
Of course, Guan Yue advanced through each round victoriously. Throughout the elimination process, both Guan Yue and Gao Yuxin became increasingly skilled in gambling techniques, and their cooperation improved significantly.
Gao Yuxin secretly laughed and said, "Brother Guan, how many people's advantages have you taken? It's so unfair that it's just us two against everyone else."
Guan Yue knew that Gao Yuxin was just trying to make him laugh, so he smiled as well. "That's my advantage; who can argue with that? If he wants, he can go find a Supreme Intelligence too. Besides, even if they have a Supreme Intelligence, how could it compare to my Gao Yuxin?"
Gao Yuxin was delighted. "Brother Guan, you speak so well. My Gao Yuxin is truly one of a kind and the best. Hmph."
Guan Yue then asked, "What have you been up to lately? You haven't talked to me much."
Gao Yuxin chuckled lightly. "Brother Guan, now that we're at Dragon Lake Academy, you're no longer the strongest person here. There are countless geniuses better than you. What will you do? That's why I've been researching drugs lately—enhancement pills, realm-boosting potions, poisons, aphrodisiacs, and hallucinogens. I have a lot of materials; I must thoroughly study pharmacology so I can help you."
At that moment, Guan Yue felt a surge of emotion. Gao Yuxin was indeed impressive for preparing in advance and genuinely wanting to serve him. However, Guan Yue found it strange that she was researching enhancement drugs.
"What are you doing? Do I need you to research enhancement drugs?" Guan Yue asked in confusion.
"Not for you; it's for your enemies. It's an aphrodisiac," Gao Yuxin said with a sly smile. Listening to Gao Yuxin's childish voice while the content expressed was so wicked made Guan Yue feel a chill in his heart.
After several days, the elimination rounds finally concluded, and Guan Yue naturally qualified for the semifinals.
With a little effort, Guan Yue could spot the fiery red hair among the thousands of semifinal students: Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, and her junior sister had also made it to the semifinals.
After the elimination rounds ended, Guan Yue went to find Sister He Bi. He was very puzzled about why Ouyang Shaohua had gone to Chunhua Women's Academy.
Guan Yue spent quite some time searching before he finally located Sister He Bi's residence. Through this search, he realized just how vast Dragon Lake Academy was. If it weren't for Sister He Bi's immense reputation, even knowing the address would make it hard to find her place.
When Guan Yue arrived at He Bi's residence, he found her discussing important points for participating in the semifinals with dozens of new students who had passed the elimination rounds.
As soon as Guan Yue walked in, he noticed He Bi enthusiastically explaining gambling techniques as if she were a gambling expert herself. At that moment, Guan Yue realized that He Bi truly had a wide range of interests.
Guan Yue then noticed that the Ruyi Facial Enhancement Technique was indeed remarkable; at that moment, he couldn't discern He Bi's original appearance and could only feel that Sister He Bi was his dream lover—truly ideal.
When He Bi saw Guan Yue enter, she already knew it was Guan Yue, so she hurriedly wrapped up her speech and let everyone leave.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "Sister, you don't recognize me, do you?" As she spoke, Guan Yue transformed her appearance back to her original form. He Bi stepped forward and tightly embraced Guan Yue, tears streaming down her face. "Junior brother, I thought you had fallen."
Guan Yue quickly asked what had happened.
He Bi then explained to Guan Yue in detail:
"After you left Qilin Academy, I heard that you had made a grave mistake, causing many people's cultivation to be ruined, and that you had taken over Sky Peak Tower. So the academy had no choice but to expel you, declaring that everything about you was no longer related to the academy. Later on, several major families came after you. It was truly a sudden turn of events that caught me off guard. I didn't know what to do, and there was no news of you at all. When the Ouyang Family announced that they had successfully killed you, I planned to storm into the Ouyang Family for revenge.
But when Ouyang Shaohua came to me, along with the Huangfu Sisters and Nai Sisters, she told us that the Ouyang Family had not killed you; they only spread rumors to prevent other families from hunting you down.
However, the Ouyang Family's release of this rumor was contingent upon Ouyang Shaohua entering Chunhua Academy. They did not want Ouyang Shaohua's relationship with you to deepen; they wanted to sever her ties with you. For your safety, Ouyang Shaohua agreed to the family's conditions.
But she asked us that once we arrived at Dragon Lake Academy, we should find you as soon as possible and let her know that as long as you were safe, she would be at ease.
I have been worried about your safety all this time, and now seeing you in person brings me relief."
Seeing He Bi in tears made Guan Yue feel even more troubled: Ouyang Shaohua is now at Chunhua Women's Academy; what should I do? I can't possibly go study at a girls' academy!
Ouyang Shaohua, you are the goddess I have longed for countless times in my dreams, my sun!
