Su Xi saw Li Zhi step forward at this moment and naturally understood what he intended to do.
Therefore, she didn't stop him now, but let him take the lead.
After all, since she had already agreed to help Li Zhi, she naturally wanted to know his true strength. Otherwise, if his strength was too weak, it wouldn't be worth risking her life for.
Since Li Zhi wanted her to risk her life for him, he naturally couldn't offer nothing in return. Only by resolving the matter perfectly could he win people's hearts.
"You can't even handle such a small matter? Take me there. I want to see who is so arrogant," Li Zhi said to Ouyang Chu Ge, commanding him.
To him, only the struggle for the throne was a big deal; all other matters were trivial.
Ouyang Chu Ge heard Li Zhi's imperious tone and didn't even bat an eye, completely ignoring him.
Who the hell was this guy, coming to act tough in front of him?
If it weren't for sensing that Pang Dahai was difficult to deal with, he would have attacked him directly by now.
"Hmm?" Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge's lack of reaction, Li Zhi frowned, his aura erupting fiercely, preparing to subdue Ouyang Chu Ge with force.
Such a minor figure actually dared to defy him. Keeping him around would be superfluous.
Su Xi saw the sudden tension in the air and knew that Li Zhi was treating Ouyang Chu Ge as a subordinate and intended to kill him.
Ouyang Chu Ge was still of importance to her, and Su Xi naturally couldn't let anything happen to him.
So, she decisively stepped forward, smoothing things over and said, "What are you two doing? The people you need to deal with are over there. We are on the same side, we should be united."
Seeing Su Xi intervene, Li Zhi found it difficult to act and could only let out a cold snort to express his displeasure.
However, even if he didn't act now, it didn't mean he wouldn't act against Ouyang Chu Ge later.
Once he finished using Su Xi, he would definitely make Ouyang Chu Ge wish he were dead, to vent his dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Chu Ge, having received Su Xi's hint, no longer looked at Li Zhi and turned to walk towards the VIP room.
As soon as she entered, Su Xi saw a man with an arrogant demeanor sitting casually on a stool, his legs propped up on the table, idly shaking them.
Beside him, seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators stood menacingly, on high alert, clearly preparing for trouble.
Zheng Yuan, seeing Su Xi enter, slapped the table and yelled, "You have a lot of nerve, daring to cause trouble in my casino?"
Su Xi, "???"
What was this guy talking about?
She was just winning money fair and square, she hadn't done anything. Was this person mentally deficient, trying to pick a fight with her?
But this excuse was too weak, couldn't he at least have some basis?
Zheng Yuan looked at the confusion on Su Xi's face and thought she was playing dumb, which made him even angrier.
He had been running this casino for so many years, and there had never been any problems. Did Su Xi really think her petty tricks could fool him? He was thinking too simply of himself.
"It seems you won't confess without a bit of persuasion," Zheng Yuan said, then immediately signaled the thugs beside him with his eyes to act.
Su Xi had bet on Lin Qing winning a hundred consecutive matches. Now Lin Qing had won 99 matches. Regardless of whether Su Xi and Lin Qing were connected, he would make them connected and thus cut off Su Xi's chances of winning money.
He couldn't openly act in the arena. But he had already found a seasoned expert to fight. Lin Qing's defeat was only a matter of time.
And what he needed to do now was to deal with Su Xi. Otherwise, if Su Xi won, their casino's profits for a month would be in vain.
Although a month's profit might not sound like much, this casino raked in gold every day. This income alone was not insignificant, comparable to a year's income for an ordinary city.
Seeing so many people rushing towards her, Su Xi didn't show much surprise. Instead, she suddenly retreated, revealing Li Zhi behind her.
Li Zhi made no unnecessary moves; Pang Dahai beside him had already acted.
Under his pressure, those Nascent Soul cultivators didn't even have a chance to fight before collapsing to the ground, their Nascent Souls utterly shattered.
In an instant, a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
???
Zheng Yuan, his vision blocked, had not noticed Li Zhi. Seeing what was happening before him, he only thought that Su Xi had come prepared and took out a communication talisman.
If the situation turned bad, he would immediately call for reinforcements.
After all, for a casino to be so large, it would naturally have preparations.
Since Li Zhi had said he would help solve the problem, he naturally had to take action.
Seeing Zheng Yuan about to call for people, Li Zhi stepped forward and snorted, "What do you want to do?"
Zheng Yuan, who had been so confident, was so terrified the moment he saw Li Zhi that he fell off his stool, then scrambled to Li Zhi's side, putting on a smile, "Sir, why are you here?"
While his master wasn't Li Zhi, he had some connection to Li Zhi. Based on Li Zhi's status, he was definitely not someone a mere casino manager could handle.
Looking at the expression on Zheng Yuan's face, Li Zhi snorted and walked in.
After sitting down, Li Zhi looked at the trembling Zheng Yuan before him and said with a cold snort, "I never thought you, you old turtle, would still have such a temper?"
"Come on, right here in front of me, continue to be arrogant."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Zheng Yuan quickly apologized, not daring to say anything.
If he admitted it now, he knew his life would be forfeit.
Li Zhi looked down on Zheng Yuan's subservient demeanor and pointed at Su Xi, saying, "Tell me, why did you lay hands on my person?"
Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Zheng Yuan's face turned pale.
Su Xi, was Li Zhi's person?
He had investigated before and found Su Xi to be just a newcomer. How had she suddenly become Li Zhi's person?
If he had known Su Xi had such a formidable background, he wouldn't have dared to do this even with ten thousand times the courage.
Seeing this predicament, Zheng Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a trembling voice, "Sir, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Zheng Yuan deeply regretted acting without clearly identifying the person. Now, he didn't know what to do.
If he had known Li Zhi needed money, then let alone a month's income, even a year's income would have been acceptable.
Li Zhi frowned upon hearing Zheng Yuan's words, and his tone instantly turned cold, "I'm asking you a question, answer it properly."
He knew that Zheng Yuan wasn't someone who liked to offend people. For him to have acted like this, there must be another reason.
He didn't know much about Su Xi, so he was even more eager to know what had happened.
Seeing that Li Zhi's expression was not a joking one, Zheng Yuan didn't dare to hide anything and recounted the entire incident bit by bit.
After hearing Zheng Yuan finish, Li Zhi turned his gaze to Su Xi and asked with great interest, "Is all of this true?"
Hearing Li Zhi's question, Su Xi didn't rush. She looked at Mu Ge not far away and said, "Whether I know the person on the stage, I believe he knows best."
With Su Xi's words, all eyes instantly fell on him, seeking an answer.
Being watched by so many people, Mu Ge suddenly became a little nervous.
These people were making him feel like a celebrity.
"Tell us, what exactly is going on?" Li Zhi asked calmly.
Although he wasn't stern, his words carried immense pressure, a pressure that brooked no refusal.
Upon hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, Mu Ge immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Young Master, this was all a coincidence. I didn't know he was so formidable."
Under Li Zhi's gaze, Mu Ge dared not hide anything. He confessed everything without holding back.
As he spoke of losing so much money, tears welled up in his eyes.
He had just wanted to make money, and now he had lost his dowry.
Li Zhi also knew Mu Ge to some extent and knew that he and Su Xi definitely wouldn't know each other.
Therefore, in his heart, he believed that this was all a coincidence.
However, it was precisely because he knew this was all a coincidence that Li Zhi had a different understanding of the current situation.
Su Xi was very important to him now, but being able to win a hundred consecutive matches in this place was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Therefore, Su Xi was precious, but someone who could win a hundred consecutive matches was also worth paying attention to.
"I warn you, don't try any tricks with me," Li Zhi said to Zheng Yuan, implying something.
He knew very well that people in casinos wouldn't easily let someone win a hundred matches. Therefore, the final match would definitely feature the casino's trump card.
Therefore, he was in need of talented individuals, and he couldn't let Zheng Yuan mess around.
Hearing Li Zhi's warning, Zheng Yuan quickly nodded, indicating that he wouldn't act recklessly.
The arrangements had already been made, so even if he did nothing now, Lin Qing was destined to lose.
While Li Zhi and Zheng Yuan were talking, the hundredth match on the stage had already begun.
Because of Lin Qing's previous performance, he was the center of attention as soon as he appeared.
All hopes were placed on Lin Qing, hoping to gain from him.
After all, winning a hundred consecutive matches had made Lin Qing's odds extremely high. As long as Lin Qing won one more match, he would make history, and they would have a high chance of becoming rich.
However, a portion of people understood the rules of the casino and knew that the casino wouldn't easily let someone win a hundred matches.
Therefore, Lin Qing's opponent this time must be very powerful, someone he couldn't handle.
Consequently, these smart individuals bet on Lin Qing's opponent to win.
As everyone's attention focused on this match, the total amount of bets reached a significant sum.
Seeing such a large stake, Li Zhi's expression showed interest.
So much money, even he would feel the pinch.
If the casino lost this money, some people would surely become restless.
At that time, he would have a good show to watch.
