And just when the two of them were dumbfounded.

I saw a fly buzzing over, and it dived directly into the bowl, lying on the rotten and smelly braised pork, and started to eat it fiercely.

While chewing it, he said, "It smells so good, big brother. If you need my help in the future, remember to look for me! It's better to eat meat with you than to dig in the cesspool every day."

"Eat quickly! Stop being disgusting. Even braised pork can't stop your stinky mouth." Gu Chan scolded angrily.

[Hehe...] The fly laughed strangely and continued to eat the delicious braised pork in its eyes.

Wan Peng asked dully, "Little brother, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"I'm telling you the truth! It was this little fly that was helping me just now. Every time you rolled the dice, it flew into the dice cup and helped me control the points. After you lifted the lid of the dice cup, it stuck inside the dice cup, so you couldn't detect its existence at all, but it could secretly help me control the points." Gu Chan explained.

Ma Zheng let out a long "oh" in relief, and then he understood why Gu Chan kept winning.

Wan Peng stood there, unable to believe his ears.

After looking at Gu Chan, he looked at the fly eating the braised pork in the bowl and was completely dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined that there was someone in this world who could control flies. You know, although flies are also considered a kind of mysterious beast, they are the weakest mysterious flies and also the most despised mysterious beasts.

Even in the world of mysterious beasts, even mosquitoes look down on flies that eat shit. But such a small mysterious beast that is looked down upon by everyone has a different and wonderful use in Gu Chan's hands.

How can one not admire this?

At that moment, Wan Peng could no longer suppress his admiration for Gu Chan. He quickly came back to his senses, clasped his fists and bowed to her, saying, "Little brother is really amazing. I am inferior to you. I should pay for these three hundred thousand taels of silver. I have paid for a lesson today. It will benefit me in the future."

"Young Master, you are too polite. I just won by luck. Compared to your cheating skills, I am far inferior." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

"Little brother, let's stop chatting here and go back to the room and get together! I'll ask someone to bring us some good wine and food, and we'll eat while we chat." Wan Peng said happily.

Gu Chan nodded in agreement.

Then the three of them walked towards Gu Chan's room.

However, after the three of them entered the room, something unexpected happened.

When Gu Chan and Ma Zheng went downstairs, the white fox that was lying on the bed to rest had disappeared.

Ma Zheng ran to the bedside and searched everywhere, shouting anxiously, "Boss, the white fox is gone, where did it go?"

"Okay, I saw it. Don't be anxious, stay calm." Gu Chan suppressed her unhappiness and said calmly.

After saying that, she invited Wan Peng to sit at the table.

After the two of them sat down opposite each other, Wan Peng said, "It seems that you are in trouble!"

"Young Master, you don't have to ask someone to bring up wine and food. We can just chat for a while. As you can see, my white fox is missing. I have to go look for it." Gu Chan said calmly.

"Why, do you know where it went?" Wan Peng asked.

"Before, the eldest daughter of the Yan family came to me to buy a white fox, but I refused and ended up offending her. Now my white fox is missing, and it must have something to do with her." Gu Chan explained.

Wan Peng shook his head helplessly, "Why did you pick on her when you could pick on anyone else? In our Jiangnan City, everyone knows that she relies on her father being the Jiangnan Censor to act lawless. I tell you, nothing she sets her eyes on can escape. Back then, my precious jadeite cabbage was taken away by her."

"Young Master, with your intelligence, you shouldn't fall into her hands!" Gu Chan said curiously.

Although she and Wan Peng had just met, judging from the fight downstairs just now, Wan Peng would definitely not lose to Yan Li in terms of means, strength, or intelligence.

So Gu Chan was quite incredulous that he fell into Yan Li's hands.

Wan Peng laughed and said, "You think too highly of her. With her skills, how could I really fall into her hands? But I still have to make a living and have so many people to support. If I can use a jade cabbage to exchange for the peace of the gambling house, it will be the best result for me."

"Hmph! No wonder she came to you. It seems that she thinks she has you in her arms!" Gu Chan snorted coldly.

She felt it was strange just now. Logically speaking, Wanyuanfang was not the largest and most luxurious gambling house in Jiangnan City. A young lady from an official family as important as Yan Li would not go to such a small place.

Now she understood that Yan Li came here because she had cheated Wan Peng before and thought that this handsome guy was easy to bully, so she came here specifically to find a sense of accomplishment from him.

Another point is that, as a woman, Gu Chan can deeply understand that there are few women who would dislike a handsome guy like Wan Peng. Yan Li probably has some interest in him, otherwise she wouldn't come here to make herself unhappy.

It's just that Gu Chan was unlucky today. Yan Li happened to come and saw her white fox transforming and enhancing its strength. Otherwise, her white fox would not have disappeared inexplicably.

Thinking of all this, Gu Chan couldn't help but sigh and said, "It is true that there is no escape from the disaster. It seems that I still have to go to the Censorate."

"How about I ask someone to introduce you, so that I don't have to worry about you not being able to even enter the gate of the Censorate." Wan Peng said kindly.

"No need for that. I can go there by myself. If you really can't get in, I'll think of another way. Anyway, it's better to use courtesy before force! It's not good to avoid trouble." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Wan Peng nodded without comment, and then he said nothing more. He immediately stood up and said goodbye and left.

After he left, Gu Chan packed up, changed her clothes, took the imperial seal and the imperial sword wrapped in cloth, left Wanyuanfang with Ma Zheng, and took a carriage to the Censorate.

On the other side, inside the Censorate’s Mansion.

At this time, the white fox was locked in a large iron cage in the middle of the pavilion in the back garden.

Two guards stood on either side of the iron cage, while Yan Li stood in front of the cage, looking at the white fox curled up inside and sleeping, with a loving smile on her face.

At this time, a beautiful woman and a maid suddenly walked in from the back garden door.

Seeing Yan Li in the pavilion, she quickly walked towards the pavilion with her maid.

And she was none other than the wife of the Chief Censor, Bai Xi, the current mistress of the Yan Mansion.

She also heard from the maid that her daughter went to the gambling house to play today, and she was afraid that her daughter would get into trouble outside, so she brought the maid to the pavilion to find her at night.
