Chapter 8 Casinos

After Chu Yi took it, he walked out of the hotel without saying a word, but he heard the familiar voice on the second floor and said, "This guy seems to be getting more and more stupid, even the rogue wants to help."

"Boy, you're lucky." The strong man glanced at the man disdainfully and threw the package back to him.

The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ran out quickly.

"Little brother, please stay."

An anxious voice suddenly came from behind Chu Yi. He stopped and turned to look at the man chasing him.

"Is there anything?" Chu Yi said lightly. He helped this person, but he had a moment of compassion and had no intention.

"I, Zong Renping, never wanted to be favored by others. You helped me today, and I have no choice but to repay you now, so please accept this item." The man handed the package to Chu Yi without any doubt.

Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned. The man would rather be beaten and fight with others than put the package to the account. He obviously attached great importance to this thing, but now he is willing to give it to him.

Chu Yi came back to his senses and said, "I see your expression just now. This should be your most cherished thing. I don't want to take away what you love. Take it back!"

Zong Renping sighed lightly, with a look of desolation on his face, and said, "In fact, this thing is useless to me. It is just something passed down from ancestors. It is useless to descendants and it is impossible for people to use it for fullness."

The way of speaking this person changed constantly from the first sight of Chu Yi when he saw him. Until now, it is still difficult for Chu Yi to summarize this person into a certain type, but what Chu Yi can be sure of is that he was saying the truth at this time.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "It seems that you have a story too. Why not do this? You go back with me and let's talk about it in detail!"

Zong Renping has a very good appearance, with a national face, a phoenix-like eyes, full of righteousness, and an official appearance. His family background will definitely not be bad, so Chu Yi invited him like this.

"This is really great, but will it be disturbed?" Zong Renping was so depressed that he had nowhere to go.

"Let's go." Chu Yi smiled slightly, turned around and left.

Zong Renping held the package and followed Chu Yi closely.

After coming to the Chu family's manor, Zong Renping couldn't help but say, "This manor is not small. Brother Chu, you should be a famous family, right?"

"Well, it used to be, but now it's just a noble family, and there are only two people left in our family now." Chu Yi looked at it, and Chu Wushuang seemed to be away again.

"Ah, Zong has made a mistake." Zong Renping said awkwardly.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Let's talk about yourself, why did it fall to this point?" Chu Yi waved his hand and said without mind.

"To be honest, I actually came to join my father-in-law this time. It's a pity that they don't recognize me at all, and I've lost even my money." Zong Renping said depressedly.

"Oh? I don't know who your father-in-law is?" Chu Yi asked casually.

"Baili, Brother Chu, you should know? Alas, I didn't expect that my amiable father-in-law would become like this now when he was a child!" Zong Renping shook his head and said.

"Baili Family? I heard that Bailixi's sister had been engaged since childhood. I think it was this unlucky guy. It seems that the family is so devastated that others no longer recognize him." Chu Yi thought to himself, and thought again, maybe this guy was the one who lost money and was also the Baili family. If he didn't show up and this guy was broken, he would be done. No wonder Bailixi would appear in the restaurant so by chance.

"Of course I know, but I'm very curious. Brother Zong, since you can get engaged to the Baili family, you must have a very extraordinary family background?" Chu Yi asked curiously.

"Oh, it's me that I'm not filial! I have never liked martial arts since I was a child, but only liked the way of literature and writing, and the words of saints. When my father left, he could not even maintain the status of the prominent clan." Zong Renping sighed and said.

"Present family? No wonder." Chu Yi understood everything at the moment.

So, what exactly is the package? This made Chu Yi very curious. Is it a martial arts secret book or a saint's words?

After the two talked, Chu Yi realized that the Zong family had been single-handed for six generations and had few people. Zong Renping's father was seriously injured in the challenge of the previous family, and the Zong family was defeated in an instant because Zong Renping had no foundation in martial arts. After he was occupied by the countryside, he woke up like a dream, so he came to join the Baili family, hoping to make a comeback through engagement, and he could also practice martial arts. Unfortunately, people looked down on him at all now.

"There are all the martial arts secrets in my Zong family in this package, but it's a pity..." Zong Renping said, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It's just a pity that I never like this thing, so I didn't keep it properly. Most of these secrets are incomplete." He said a little awkwardly. No matter how he doesn't like martial arts, he knew that if this thing is incomplete, it would be worthless.

The secret of incompleteness? Chu Yi originally heard that the package was a secret of it, but he didn't care much about it, but after hearing the word "incompleteness", he almost screamed excitedly. This is really a place to search for iron filings!

Chu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zong, since you don't like martial arts, according to my opinion, you might as well take the imperial examinations, so that you can become a noble."

Although the imperial examination is more difficult than practicing martial arts, it is always better than Zong Renping's age to practice again at twenty-five or six years.

"I am already a juren now, but my father has never allowed me to participate in the imperial examination." Zong Renping said with great distress.

"Brother Zong, Ling Zun is no longer here. Moreover, if you want to rebuild your home now, there is only one way to go." Chu Yi persuaded.

"Yes, I have no way out. If this continues, I will become a sinner of the Zong family!" Zong Renping murmured. He is not a pedantic person, but he has never experienced it when the disaster comes, and he is just a sudden loss of control.

"Thank you brother Chu for your reminder, which made me realize. Since martial arts fail, I can only follow the literature completely. If you give these broken secrets to you, they will only humiliate your character, Brother Chu. It's better to burn it in one go!" Zong Renping picked up the package and walked towards the kitchen.

"Uh, Brother Zong, whether it is broken or not, these are all things from the ancestors! And I have a lot of experience in repairing secret books, so why not let me try to restore them!" Chu Yi was not willing to let Zong Renping burn these secret books that were more precious than gold, it was related to his life!

"Brother Chu, I cannot repay you for your kindness to me. If I can be nominated for the Golden List in the future, I will definitely repay you." Zong Renping said gratefully.

"There are three months left before the imperial examination, so why don't you stay here for the time being. When I'm going to go on the road, I can send you some time." Chu Yi said with a smile.

Then, Chu Yi said, "But, I can't afford to hire a maid or something now, so everything depends on you."

"I am very satisfied now as long as I have a place to live, so I dare not make unnecessary requests." Zong Renping said hurriedly.

It is safer for him to stay here. After all, the Chu family is still a noble family. If a murder occurs here, the government will definitely ask about it. Chu Yi has completely kind-hearted intentions.

"Okay, you can choose any room here, I'll go back to the room first."

Chu Yi took the package and said something, and couldn't wait to return to the room.

He was very excited at this moment. After tying the door tightly, he opened the package, which contained five incomplete secret books, which were already chewed by mice and others.

"It's really broken enough." Chu Yi murmured, held the five secret books in his hand, and silently recited them in his heart, and in a blink of an eye he arrived in the Sutra Pavilion.

"Does the broken secret that meets the conditions be found? Will it be repaired?" At this time, the mechanical voice suddenly rang.

Chu Yi was overjoyed and quickly chose yes.

"Repairing three broken basic martial arts secrets requires thirty kilograms of copper elements. Please put in the required materials." With this mechanical sound, a cabinet suddenly appeared in the Sutra Pavilion, with three secrets-sized grooves and a large hole.

"Damn! I still need to repair the materials? The Sutra Pavilion is obviously an old antique, but it still needs such modern materials to repair it?" Chu Yi cursed in his heart, and could only end the repair process with a gray face and retreat.

Fortunately, although the repair was not successful, the functions of the items stored in this Sutra Pavilion can still be used, so I am not afraid of any accidents in this secret book.

Thirty kilograms of copper are 30,000 grams, while a copper plate in the Tianwu Continent weighs about five grams, but the copper plate is not pure copper, only 60% is copper, that is, three grams.

Then it would cost ten taels of silver to repair these three secret books, which is equivalent to an ordinary family's use for a year.

Chu Yi now only has less than four taels of silver, and Chu Wushuang is not at home, so he has to provide food and drink with him and Zong Renping, which is a considerable expense.

"I didn't expect that my rich man would be trapped by money." Chu Yi muttered. Now he began to miss his super rich man before.

"By the way, maybe I can try it in the gambling house." Chu Yi's eyes lit up, and the strange effect of hanging money might help him.

At that moment, he cleaned up and put on some makeup to avoid being recognized. After all, it would be too expensive for people from aristocratic families to go to a small gambling house.

Although the nobles' young men and even the big guys also had gambling games in private, this is no longer something that Chu Yi is qualified to participate.

Ruyi Gambling House, this is a very popular name. On the Tianwu Continent, there are probably millions of small gambling houses like this.
