+6 Star-Pattern Sword, the [God of Gamblers] Title

As soon as he finished speaking,

Xiao Chengchen was struck dumb.

He had considered a million reasons in his mind.

He was not as heroic as Xiao Zhaohuang.

His achievements were not as great as Xiao Zhaohuang's.

His power was inferior to Xiao Zhaohuang's.

Or perhaps it's simply because she doesn't possess Xiao Zhaohuang's Peerless Beauty.

That's why I chose her over me.

But I never expected to receive such an answer.

Did you ask?

Did you ask?

Did you ask?

Xiao Chengchen slumped down in the puddles, his heart filled with despair, his mind replaying only those few words.

He was like a soulless walking corpse, even the light in his eyes had gone out.

If you don't ask, there's no task; without a task, there are no benefits; and without benefits, who would be so bored as to support you becoming emperor?

If you don't even understand such a simple principle, how dare you ask for an answer?

That's insane.

Never mind, never mind.

Why bother arguing with an idiot?

Besides, we're going to be Artifact Refining tonight, and seeing blood would be unlucky.

Thinking of this,

Gao Yunyi simply uttered a sentence before vanishing in a flash of light.

There won't be a next time.

All that remained were a group of trembling guards kneeling in the rain and a despondent Imperial Eldest Grandson.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang has already returned to her residence.

After learning that her nephew's final destination was her mansion, she hurried back on horseback.

I never expected to see this scene.

Looking at her heartbroken nephew, the last vestige of murderous intent in her heart vanished completely with the pouring rain.

The Immortal's words were a huge blow to him.

I doubt I'll ever recover from this.

Yes,

Immortals are pure and straightforward; they don't have as many hidden thoughts and schemes as mortals.

You want to kill me? Then I'll kill you.

If you want to ask me for help, then tell me what's on your mind.

It's that simple.

They're just mortals who overcomplicate things.

Xiao Zhaohuang looked at his eldest nephew sitting on the ground and felt as if he were seeing himself.

If it weren't for Zhang Qingyan acting as a go-between,

I guess I'll end up like my nephew.

Xiao Zhaohuang took the umbrella from the Maidservant and then slowly walked towards Xiao Chengchen.

The umbrella shielded Xiao Chengchen from the rain.

Xiao Zhaohuang said softly, "I will not kill you, but the name Xiao Chengchen will also be erased from this world. I will build you a large courtyard elsewhere. Live well."

Regardless of whether Xiao Chengchen could listen to her at this moment, she had already done everything she could and had a clear conscience.

After saying that,

Xiao Zhaohuang then gently raised his hand.

Several guards who were accompanying him stepped forward and led the dejected former Imperial Eldest Grandson away.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident

This concludes the discussion.

Then Xiao Zhaohuang turned his gaze to the guard who was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Such dereliction of duty

They should have been executed.

But the Immortal hadn't blamed them, so how could they possibly disobey the Immortal's will?

The Immortal is like a mischievous old child who hasn't grown up yet.

Willful, playful, curious, moody, and unpredictable.

We must appease Him, serve Him, respect Him, and do everything according to His will.

You must never disobey Him, deceive Him, or have any improper intentions toward Him.

Otherwise, the Immortals would transform into demons.

They went on a killing spree, washing away blood from all sides.

Xiao Zhaohuang suddenly felt as if he had found a way to get along with Immortals.

"I will forgive you this time, but if you dare to do it again, even if the Immortals forgive you, I will not let you off easily."

Xiao Zhaohuang spoke in a cold tone, carrying an unyielding authority.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness."

The group of derelict guards, kneeling in the pouring rain, expressed their gratitude with tears in their eyes.

After taking one last, deep look at the quiet and secluded courtyard, Xiao Zhaohuang turned and left.

She has important matters to attend to.

The army of the Duke of Qian, stationed outside the Capital, has already reached the city walls and could launch an attack at any moment.

Now she is not only the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but also the pillar of support for millions of people in the Capital.

With her there,

The sky over the Capital won't fall, and neither will the sky over the Liang Kingdom.

In the small courtyard,

Gao Yunyi sat back down on the bed.

What happened outside didn't affect his mood.

So he continued his great work of Artifact Refining.

[Star-Pattern Sword]

[Quality: Perfect.]

[Attack Power: 133.]

[Critical Hit Chance +5%]

[Attack Power +25.]

[Special Skill: Sword Might]

[Sword Might: The sword is the king of all weapons, possessing an awe-inspiring Sword Might that commands all other weapons to bow down in submission.]

[Upon equipping, it grants unparalleled Sword Might, capable of intimidating surrounding weapons, suppressing enemy weaponry, and enhancing armor-piercing and spell-breaking effects.]

[Level: 20.]

[Sect: Azure Profound Sect]

This purple weapon was obtained by defeating the old emperor.

Both its basic attributes and additional attributes are incredibly powerful.

Moreover, this weapon's special effects are quite impressive, unlike the [Moon Lotus Spirit Pendant], whose effects are only superficially appealing but have no real practical use.

Gao Yunyi only wants to do one thing tonight.

That means upgrading this purple Star-Pattern Sword to +5.

He's almost level 30 and still using a level 10 weapon. Doesn't he care about his reputation?

Now he is wealthy and powerful, and blessed with good fortune.

I refuse to believe we can't improve our weaponry.

Bring it on,

Artifact Refining Stones, give them to me.

That night,

Heavy rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

That night,

The Duke of Qian's Royalist Army arrived at the city gates and set up camp outside the city.

That night,

The last vestiges of the Imperial Eldest Grandson's faction's madness were completely extinguished, Xiao Chengchen disappeared without a trace.

That night,

The Capital was gripped by fear and unease; everyone felt insecure.

That night,

Light flickered continuously in the deepest courtyard of the State-Guarding Eldest Princess's Residence.

In short,

Many, many things happened that night.

The next day,

The wind and rain stopped, and the sun shone brightly.

The courtyard, which had been shimmering with light all night, finally quieted down.

Gao Yunyi, dressed in a light white robe, pushed open the door and walked out of the house, then stretched lazily in the bright sunlight.

A smile played on his lips, and a look of satisfaction crossed his face.

He succeeded.

It took an entire night and consumed an unknown amount of materials and equipment.

He finally upgraded the Star-Pattern Sword to +6.

I originally planned to stop at +5, but then I suddenly had a whim and decided to gamble again.

Unexpectedly,

He actually won the bet.

He also earned the title of "God of God of Gamblers".

God of Gamblers

Life is a gamble, fortune and misfortune are in our own hands. We dare to wager a fortune, we dare to gamble with our lives; victory or defeat hangs in the balance.

[After equipping the title: Slightly increases luck in obtaining various gameplay modes and avoids some extremely negative outcomes.]

Hahaha...

He liked the title and quickly put it on.

"Huh? Why has this courtyard turned into such a horrible mess? Have I been staying in this house for years?"

Looking at the withered vegetable garden and the fallen Ginkgo Trees in the yard,

Gao Yunyi stroked his chin, lost in thought.
