Walking in from the door of the courtyard, which spanned seemingly but a few steps had left him gasping for air, wiping his sweat non-stop and obviously very tired. This person was none other than Young Master of the Tang Family, whose position and fame was on par with the Jun Family: Tang Yuan!
He really does look like him, but he seemed even bigger than before. Jun Xie thought to himself.
“Uh… Young Master Tang, what is wrong with you? What could possibly happen for you to scream save me? Which blind idiot provoked you this time?” Jun Xie asked as he observed Jun Moxie’s best friend standing before him, holding back his desire to laugh.
“Bloody grannies! Who else if not those slops from the Li and Meng Families!” Young Master Tang was outraged; he strove to force his eyes to reveal themselves from among the thick flesh, succeeding in opening a narrow slit. “Brother, for the past few days I had been inside the Thousand Gold Hall for a good ten days, losing a total of a hundred and fifty thousand silver liangs! Third Young Master, you have to help! Otherwise… when I go home, my old man will beat me to death!”
[TL: Liang is a form of currency.]
“A hundred and fifty thousand silver liangs!” Jun Xie was shocked. “How did you lose so much money? Wait, where did you even get so much money?”
Tang Yuan gave a loud sigh. “In the beginning, I was actually winning. I won up to a total of fifty thousand…”
“If they do not let you win, would you continue gambling? What exactly were you playing there to lose so much? You really got some guts!” Jun Xie stared at him.
Tang Yuan dared not refute, and just grumbled: “Last month, didn’t you end up losing a hundred thousand liang yourself? Mine is just a little bit higher than yours, and yet you…”
“What is the point of telling me that? Besides, a mere hundred and fifty thousand silver liangs is not something your Tang family cannot part with. Was there any need to come here yelling save me?” Jun Xie suddenly realized that these people could not be evaluated using common sense. These people are your typical spend thrifty young masters!
“Even if it’s your old man, he would not possibly murder you just for a mere hundred and fifty thousand silver liangs. It’s not like you have never lost so much before…”
“But, but after I lost all my money, I told them that I would go home to get more. It was then that Li Bo incited me, saying that everyone is already tired and that they would go away if I were not there. I became reckless, and…” Tang Yuan looked at Jun Xie with a pitiful expression, his face filled with regret.
“And what?” Jun Xie suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
“One can lose men, but not lose formation… I became impulsive and… pawned my accompaniment jade and precious sword, pawned for a total of three hundred thousand silver liangs. I thought that I would be able to win them all back quickly. I did not expect… I did not expect… I lost it all,” Tang Yuan’s face was distressed as he hesitantly spoke.
“You dare say lose men but not formation?! I can still remember that your father spent a huge fortune to buy that famed Snow Bluster Sword for you! That terrifyingly divine weapon can cut iron like cutting mud! And that accompaniment jade of yours was made from Warm Jade! Back then, these two treasures used up at least one million liangs to get, right? And yet you pawned both of them for only three hundred thousand? Even in bargain sales, there won’t be such a sale!” Jun Xie was left speechless. This man is too damned capable… too damned capable of a wastrel!
“I’m not someone who do not have rules, you know? It’s just that, back then my mind suddenly became numb! I don’t even know how to explain it, my mind just became a messy paste of confusion…” Tang Yuan grumbled again.
“But even if you did lose these two, you still have the pledge note. You can just go redeem it later on. Considering how much your father loves you, at most he will just rebuke you with some words, why would he kill you. Besides, what else do your family have if not money? Around one million worth of silvers, is this really a serious problem for someone like you?” Jun Xie just grunted ‘heng’ twice.
“Nonsense, these two items are absolute treasures! How can I not want to win them back on the spot?” Tang Yuan replied indignantly. “It is not like you do not know the rules of my grandpa. Last time you saw for yourself what I had to endure… that kind of beating can tear off one layer of skin!”
“So, you continued gambling? What did you pawn this time? I know you have a lot of good stuff, but I am sure you don’t have any one worth up to around one million liangs!” Jun Xie was a man with exceptional amounts of experience, especially when concerning the psychology of gambling. This fatty would not be so anxious unless he had gambled away something he should absolutely not gamble with.
“Yes, back then I really did not have anything valuable on me. In the end… in the end… I… I… I went ahead and pawned
