When he first entered the industry, Ye Lan was not the type to fight alone.

She is surrounded by a group of like-minded companions who are willing to go deep into dangerous places with her to complete missions and obtain valuable intelligence.

As mentioned earlier, although high-value intelligence is often accompanied by huge risks, sacrifice and harm are inevitable, the young Ye Lan did not fully realize how powerful the enemy she faced was. She was overconfident and lacked the necessary awe.

However, after a mission related to the abyss, Ye Lan was shocked to find that there was no one around her.

At that moment, she felt deeply lonely. All her companions had been killed or injured. She had to stop and re-examine her actions and responsibilities.

When Ningguang finally found Ye Lan's residence, she expected to see her decadent figure in the dark, but she didn't expect Ye Lan's voice to sound behind her. Ye Lan's words were profound and powerful: "You and I both made a mistake. What we did should not affect ordinary people."

Before Ningguang could turn around, she saw several arrows accurately shot at the wall behind her. The arrows were controlled very accurately and quickly turned into water droplets and scattered without leaving any trace.

Ye Lan was walking towards them from a distance, with blood still lingering on her fingertips as she held the bow in her hand.

This action of hers not only demonstrated her superb archery skills, but also reflected her rethinking of her mission and responsibility.

Ye Lan's reflection this time is not only a warning to herself, but also a reflection of the mutual respect and trust in her relationship with Ningguang.

An archer must use all his strength and practice day and night, then in an instant, the mountain spring water will surge and become restless, called by the invisible force, and transformed into several water arrows circling upwards.

Several arrows crossed and converged in the air, instantly creating a curtain of water, like a sudden rain on a summer night.

After the rain, there were no flying butterflies or rainbows, only a beam of light with a faint color falling into Ye Lan's hands.

Ye Lan has always wanted to know what happened back then. Perhaps this bloodline is the source of her slightly weird personality.

It was the ominousness in her blood that made her feel no fear and made her crave danger.

That’s right, Ye Lan’s father was actually the previous special intelligence officer of the Seven Stars. He was born into an ancient family, and her ancestors once fought against a huge disaster in the Layered Abyss.

That battle made millions of people cry and bleed, and after the fierce battle, there were only a few survivors.

One of the two ancestors died and the other one who survived became crazy, which cast a shadow on Ye Lan's family.

Ye Lan's father also died in a special operation. In order to eradicate a certain addictive drug that was harming Liyue, the previous Seven Stars deployed a large number of Thousand Rocks troops and wiped out the lairs of those criminals. However, Ye Lan's father, who was undercover at the time, was discovered by the enemy leader and was fed a large amount of drugs, which led to his death.

In order to protect Ye Lan from retaliation by the remnant forces of those lawless elements, the new Liyue Seven Stars, led by Ningguang, tacitly decided to keep this secret until Ye Lan grew up to become the new Seven Stars.

But now it seems that she is not interested in the position of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

After learning about Ye Lan's wish, Ningguang decided it was time to uncover the long-forgotten secret.

After all, this short-haired woman, who once fought alone and is now strong enough to protect herself, is already capable of knowing this history.

Ningguang believed that Ye Lan's strength was enough for her to face any impact of the truth.

Su Chen’s silent support aroused Ningguang’s curiosity. She didn’t understand why Su Chen was so active in helping Ye Lan. Was there some unknown deal between them behind the scenes?

Su Chen's hasty denial made Ningguang even more confused. Her sudden cunning smile and sudden movement made Su Chen realize that he seemed to have fallen into some kind of "trap".

Ningguang half-jokingly and half-sincerely wanted to "see" Su Chen's so-called "inventory", but in fact she wanted to learn more about Su Chen's abilities and secrets.

Although Su Chen secretly sighed in his heart that it was not good, he also knew that he could no longer avoid it.

Faced with Ningguang's situation, he had no choice but to move on. This relaxed and somewhat joking atmosphere showed the friendship and trust between them, and they could maintain such a relaxed attitude even when discussing serious topics.

As for Ningguang, the leader of the Seven Stars of Liyue, she always presents herself in a serious and elegant manner in official occasions, but in private, she also has a relaxed and even "bohemian" side.

……

"I'm sorry, the clerk was a bit rude just now." Ye Lan crossed her arms in front of her chest and slowly walked to Su Chen.

Although she was apologizing, there was no trace of apology in her emerald green eyes.

What Su Chen saw more was boredom and annoyance.

Su Chen waved his hand immediately. He really didn't expect to meet Ye Lan in this way.

Although he was already very familiar with her, Su Chen still pretended to be meeting her for the first time: "It's a small matter. I just heard that a female knight with great gambling skills came to Yanshang Teahouse."

"It just so happens that I like playing dice, so I was thinking about whether I could play a few rounds with her, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Hearing that the person coming was an expert, Ye Lan's originally distracted expression seemed to become a little more lively.

She took over this bankrupt teahouse not only to make it easier for her to get the information she wanted from all kinds of people.

Another reason is that she really likes gambling... After all, who would want to go against Mora?

Seeing that another person came to give money, Ye Lan certainly didn't mind.

"Lady Hero? Is that what they all call me? No need to look for me, the person you are looking for is me."

"I just don't know, how much money did you bring?"

Ye Lan looked Su Chen up and down, then her face showed a little disappointment.

Although he looks pretty good, his dress is a little different from those rich kids in the city, especially...

He is not very old, and usually people of his age don't have too much Mora on their bodies.

Su Chen looked at Ye Lan in front of him and smiled faintly:

"Ten million molas."

"Will Northland Bank's notes do?"

………………

Chapter 433: Boss Ye Lan, you can’t gamble anymore! If you gamble again, the teahouse will be gone...

Su Chen gently pulled out a Northland Bank note from his sleeve. It was a generous gift that Ningguang had given him when they parted.

Ningguang’s words were still ringing in her ears: “I’m very satisfied with the new way of playing. You can use these Moras to replenish your body. You must take them!”

Her voice was rarely playful, "If you run out of money in the future, feel free to come find Sister Ningguang~"

When Chu Yi saw that the bill Su Chen casually took out was worth tens of millions, he felt a surge of regret and self-blame. He secretly blamed himself for almost offending such a distinguished guest.

He originally thought that Su Chen was just an ordinary guest in the Yanshang Tea House, but he never expected that his identity was much more important than he imagined.

The gamblers around looked at Su Chen with sympathy. They had all witnessed the amazing performance of the heroine at the gambling table.

This shocked everyone present; her gambling skills were so advanced that almost no one could beat her.

And now, they realized that this woman with extraordinary skills was actually the new female owner of Yanshang Tea House!

This discovery instantly changed Su Chen's image in everyone's eyes.

From an ordinary gambler, he became a respected master and even the helmsman of the teahouse.

Su Chen didn't seem to care about these looks. His mind was completely focused on his upcoming encounter with Ye Lan.

……

So, in a corner of the Yanshang Tea Room, at an exquisite gambling table, Su Chen and Ye Lan sat opposite each other, with a notary in formal attire and a serious expression sitting in the middle.

A group of young wealthy men dressed luxuriously and holding folding fans gathered around. They were either talking in low voices or staring at the gambling game on the table. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Am I dazzled? It's 10 million Mora! Who else dares to compete with this female boss? Be careful or you'll lose all your pants to go home!"

A wealthy young man sitting near the gambling table couldn't help but sigh, and his words caused others to chuckle and echo.

"Alas, young people always have to go through some setbacks before they can learn their lessons... Maybe he lost too quickly this morning and now wants to win back all his losses in one go!"

Another well-dressed young man speculated, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Why don't you do something serious with this 10 million Mora? Why do you have to give it to me?"

The audience nearby couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, expressing their confusion at Su Chen's choice.

At this moment, Ye Lan gently put down the dice box in her hand, with a smug and confident smile on her lips.

"Since I'm the owner here, why don't you let me be the banker? The rules are simple, bet big and buy small. If a leopard appears, the banker wins."

This rule is obviously extremely favorable to the dealer, and it almost indicates the unfairness of the gambling.

However, Su Chen still seemed unusually relaxed in the face of such a proposal. He smiled slightly and nodded gracefully to show his acceptance.

The wealthy young men around couldn't help but secretly murmur when they saw this. The courage and composure of this young man not only impressed everyone, but also added to the uncertainty and excitement of the gambling.

They exchanged glances, as if to say, "This bet is destined to be extraordinary."

"Crash la la la..."

As Ye Lan's wrist spun deftly, the dice made a clattering sound in the box, and all eyes were fixed on this scene.

The notary, Su Chen, the waiter, and the gamblers watching, everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.

Finally, with a dull sound of hammer falling, Ye Lan gracefully placed the dice box steadily on the gambling table. She raised her head and looked directly at Su Chen with her green eyes that seemed to see through everything: "Bet big or bet small? I'm curious about how many chips you will bet to challenge this game."

Her voice was calm and firm, without the slightest fluctuation, as if all this was just a daily occurrence for her.

In her mind, the 10 million Moras seemed to be already in her pocket, because she had full confidence in her abilities.

Ye Lan's special elemental power allows her to sense subtle energy changes on the dice, which allows her to easily guess the specific points in the box.

In fact, Ye Lan was able to win more than 30 games in a row not by relying on so-called good luck, but by relying on her extraordinary skills that were almost cheating.

At this moment, the dice box has not been opened yet, but she has already sensed the number of points on the dice through the power of elements - "six, six, six", an extremely rare set of "leopards".

In this case, no matter whether Su Chen chooses to bet big or small, Ye Lan, as the banker, will win this round.

Of course, unless Su Chen dared to bet on the "Leopard", but in Ye Lan's opinion, this was almost impossible.

After all, there are very few people who dare to confront her directly.

"I bet on the leopard, 10 million Mora!"

As Su Chen boldly announced that he would bet all his 10 million Mora on the leopard, the entire Yanshang Tea House instantly became boiling.

The crowd around him burst into exclamations, and they looked at the daring young man with disbelief.

The leopard is an extremely rare and unpredictable card type in the bet big and buy small game, which can provide odds up to 36 times, which is undoubtedly the most attractive bet on the table.

However, the probability of a leopard appearing is only 1 in 36, making it the least likely outcome.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone present, Su Chen's move of betting all his capital on the leopard was tantamount to seeking death. They believed that it was no different from directly giving money away.

But when Ye Lan's eyes fell on the Northland Bank check worth 10 million Mora on the table, a trace of fluctuation appeared on her face involuntarily.

Although people around sneered at Su Chen's choice, only Ye Lan knew that there was indeed a "leopard" hidden in the dice box.

This means that once Su Chen wins, his 3.6 million Mora bet will turn into an astonishing million Mora.

Such a change will not only overturn everyone's view on gambling, but will also become a legendary story in the Yanshang Tea House.

No one noticed the subtle changes in Ye Lan's heart. She tried her best to remain calm, but her eyes revealed her complex emotions about Su Chen's decision.

She was amazed at Su Chen's intuition and courage, and at the same time she was wondering if there were more unknown stories behind this young man.

At this moment full of anticipation and tension, everyone held their breath waiting for the moment the dice box was opened.

As the dice box was opened, all the audience members gasped.

Because under the dice box, there is a number that none of them could have expected——

six!

six!

six!

leopard!!!

When you see the number on the dice, the originally noisy casino suddenly becomes so noisy that you can hear a pin drop.

Even the few gamblers who had not been optimistic about Su Chen just now opened their mouths into an 'O' shape.

"This! He actually got it right!"

"Oh my God, this is the manifestation of Lord Rock. He even got the bet right. That's 3.6 million Mora!"

"This isn't Lord Yan, this is clearly the God of Wealth! Even picking up money can't be this fast!"

Seeing this pretty boy in front of me win money is even more painful than killing them.

Amid the exclamations of people around her, Ye Lan generously signed a bill and handed it to Su Chen.

There was an imperceptible excitement in Ye Lan's eyes. Although the gambling game just now made her lose a considerable amount of Mora, this loss unexpectedly made her feel a long-lost sense of challenge.

"Not bad, it seems you are quite capable. I have finally met an opponent I can take seriously."

Although Ye Lan had always been a winner in the casino and had almost never lost, because of this, gambling gradually lost its excitement for her.

However, Su Chen's performance today rekindled her competitive spark, and she looked at Su Chen seriously and with interest.
