Leng Xuan carefully put away the camera and said calmly, "Thanks."

Sitting next to Gu Tianchen, Lin Qiye felt a little disappointed as he watched everyone else receive a gift.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that he had already given me the best New Year's gift when he helped me today.

What could be more important than the safety of your family?

"Happy New Year."

Gu Tianchen took out a notebook from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qiye.

"This is..." Lin Qiye looked surprised.

"I swear I won't pass on the ancestral double-sword technique that I got from Han Liguan. You practice it secretly without letting Old Han know," Gu Tianchen said in a low voice.

"You swore you wouldn't tell anyone, yet you still gave it to me?"

“You’re not an outsider,” Gu Tianchen quietly picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile, “Besides, I swore an oath in your name back then.”

Lin Qiye: ...

Sometimes I really want to call the police!

While everyone was still enjoying the New Year's gifts, Gu Tianchen smiled slightly and quickly started eating the delicious food on the table!

The crowd only realized what was happening after hearing the commotion.

Damn it, this kid is using a feint to cover up his true intentions while secretly plotting against us!

"Holy crap, why did he pick up the plate again?!"

"Don't swallow the fish whole! There are bones! Bones! Quickly pull them out of his mouth!!"

"Xiangnan, Qimo, hold this kid down, quickly!"

Chapter 52 A True Judge of Character

Love hotel.

"One against three".

"One against three".

"A pair of Aces."

Four 2s.

Baili Pangpang and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who threw four 2s?

Cao Yuan shook his head to indicate that it wasn't him.

Shen Qingzhu threw her two 2s on the card table, saying, "No cheating allowed."

Baili Pangpang flipped the four 2s over and found that the pattern on the back was different from the cards in the hands of the three of them. It was a clown with a strange smile.

Moreover, the clown's smile gradually twisted and widened, almost reaching his ears.

Shen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat.

Something's not right!

An invisible wall instantly protected the three of them.

boom!

Suddenly, the four "2"s on the card table exploded. Amidst billowing black smoke, three figures jumped from the second-floor window to the ground, with two of them landing steadily.

The middle guy, Baili Pangpang, fell on his butt and looked at the two people next to him with a resentful expression. "I'm your sugar daddy, can't you guys catch me?"

The two did not respond, their eyes coldly fixed on the figure that appeared above the love hotel.

Baili Pangpang followed their gaze and saw a guy dressed as a clown standing on the roof of a love hotel, playing with a playing card with a clown background that had just appeared on the card table.

"Good morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year! Have you all eaten? How did the four 2s taste?" the clown asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" Shen Qingzhu asked coldly.

"I am a new member of the faith. You can call me... Blackheart 6."

The clown man laughed and flipped the card in his hand over to reveal a 6 face up.

"Be careful, his Void Restriction ability is very strange; he can use playing cards to attack," Cao Yuan warned, holding his sword.

"What's there to be afraid of? My bodyguard team is nearby. They'll come running as soon as they hear the commotion. I'll show them what a real clown is in a minute," Baili Pangpang said confidently.

"Young Master seems quite confident in his bodyguard team, but I'm also confident I can kill you before they arrive."

The clown-like man revealed a sinister smile, and the six of spades in his hand transformed into a blur, shooting straight towards Baili Pangpang's throat.

clang!

Cao Yuan gripped the scabbard and stood in front of Baili Pangpang, blocking the playing card that was powerful enough to pierce a human body.

The six of spades was stuck in Cao Yuan's scabbard, emitting a series of trembling sounds.

The clown man laughed and asked, "You're pretty good at blocking, but let's see how you block next!"

With a flick of his fingers, a deck of cards unfolded in the clown's hand, spreading out in a fan shape. With a sweep of his hand, the cards flew towards the three of them like a flurry of snowflakes.

Baili Pangpang took out a gold necklace from around his neck.

"Yaoguang!"

A flash of golden light formed a golden barrier that protected the three of them, and all the playing cards that were flying like snowflakes were deflected.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of her two fingers, the air around the clown man was sucked away.

The clown was instantly overwhelmed by a terrifying sense of suffocation, his face contorted in agony as he struggled, and finally died, falling from the rooftop.

"Hey, not bad. After breaking through to the Pool Realm, the range of your Qi seems to be even larger. I thought you were going to just use a blast to blow up this clown with a single air explosion," Baili Pangpang said with a laugh.

Shen Qingzhu rolled her eyes. "You think I'm some kind of brute like Gu Tianchen, always causing explosions?"

“Perhaps we really need him,” Cao Yuan said calmly.

"What, you've only been gone a day and you already miss him? Is Gu Tianchen more alluring to you than a young married woman?" Baili Pangpang teased.

Cao Yuan didn't speak, but simply pointed with his chin to a spot not far away.

The intersection in front, the alley behind, the rooftops all around...

They were surrounded by more than twenty people.

"Don't panic, just watch my money power."

With a light snap of his fingers, Baili Pangpang sent four figures falling from the sky.

"The Four Envoys of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire greet Young Master!"

Four menacing figures, wielding forbidden artifacts, knelt on one knee and bowed to Baili Pangpang.

Baili Pangpang smiled and raised his hand, "My dear ministers, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."

Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu exchanged a glance, realizing the fat man had gotten away with it...

"Young master, rest assured, if they dare to lay a hand on you, I guarantee they won't leave Cangnan alive."

The four figures instantly scattered, chasing after the assassins around them like vicious wolves.

"Only four?" Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow.

"Who do you think you are? These four are all forbidden artifact wielders of our Baili family, all at the peak of the Sichuan Realm. If the four of them join forces, they can fight against those in the Sea Realm!"

"With those four around, I can walk around Cangnan like a madman now!" Baili Pangpang said boastfully, hands on his hips.

One hour later.

"Old Cao, save me! Brother Zhai, save me!"

The two men reached out and pulled Baili Pangpang to a secluded corner.

Baili Pangpang, still shaken, said, "Damn it, where did this Haijing madman come from that keeps chasing me?"

Boom!

A figure crashed heavily into the frozen canal, plunging into the icy, bone-chilling water.

The Fire Envoy and the Wind Envoy joined forces, and flames and gales rushed straight towards the man in the center, whose body was shimmering with dark light.

A flash of dark light tore the fiery tornado apart instantly, and the man in the dark light rushed out, slamming the Fire Envoy into the canal with a palm strike.

"Didn't you say that with these four around, you could do whatever you wanted in Cangnan?" Cao Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Even if you're carried out, you'll still walk sideways, right?" Baili Pangpang retorted stubbornly.

"Didn't you say that the four of you working together could defeat the Sea Realm?" Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow.

"I said we could fight the Sea Realm, but I didn't say we could definitely win. So tell me, did we fight or not?" Baili Pangpang continued to be stubborn.

"cut."

The two looked disgusted.

"Can you two stop making sarcastic remarks? If the four forbidden artifact wielders are defeated, it will be our turn next. Think of something!" Baili Pangpang said anxiously.

"It's not us, it's you. We only have an employer-employee relationship. I don't know you at all," Shen Qingzhu quickly distanced herself from the situation.

“As brothers, we’re in each other’s hearts. If something happens and we can’t reach each other by phone, isn’t that normal?” Cao Yuan shrugged and said.

"Wow, you're pretty fluent with those words now. I knew I wouldn't learn anything good from Gu Tianchen," Baili Pangpang complained.

……

"Ah!"

Gu Tianchen, who was visiting a love hotel to wish someone a Happy New Year, suddenly sneezed.

Lin Qiye frowned. "You have a cold?"

"No, how could I have a cold? I'm just a little dizzy," Gu Tianchen said.

"Heh, serves you right for drinking so much with Sister Hongying last night," Lin Qiye mocked.

"Who told her to steal the title of Cangnan's No. 1 Wine God from me?" Gu Tianchen retorted.
