Duan Li said in a tone of sudden realization: "So that's how it is."

The man in brocade clothes nodded, "That's it." Then the surroundings became quiet.

After a while, seeing that Duan Li didn't intend to speak, the man in brocade clothes said: "Then Xianjun, are you paying in cash, or..."

"Cash money." Duan Li dragged his voice, and when two attendants came out from the crowd, he continued: "I would like to pay cash money, but today is a little unfortunate, I don't have that much money with me .”

Although she knew that there was a lot of trouble, Chu Lan was quietly relieved when Duan Li said this.He thought to himself, fortunately, the master didn't directly say that he didn't have so much money, otherwise he would have fought on the spot.

The two people dressed as attendants stopped, and turned to ask their host for instructions.

The man in brocade clothes said with a good-tempered smile: "It's okay, if you don't have cash, bank notes are also acceptable."

Duan Li said: "I didn't bring so many bank notes."

When Duan Li's voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and the eyes of the two attendants became a little hostile.

In fact, it's not their fault, because Duan Li's answer sounds too much like a rascal.

Duan Li didn't know anything about the change in the atmosphere in the hall, or maybe he felt it, but he just didn't take it to heart.He propped his chin with one hand, thought for a while, and said, "Can I have an IOU?"

Chu Lan on the side: "..."

Duan Li only heard about the IOU two years ago.At that time, he took Chu Lan down the mountain to play, and entered the gambling workshop by mistake.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a person running out in a panic.The man didn't run very far before he was caught by the people who rushed after him.

A burly, ferocious-looking man slowly opened the curtain of the gambling house, and took the IOU to collect the debt from the man.

The captured man was beaten up until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he said inarticulately: "Wait... wait until I... win the money, then I can... pay, pay... you."

When Duan Li heard the word "IOU" for the first time, he was curious and asked Chu Lan what it meant.

Chu Lan explained it again, and after Duan Li finished listening, he just hummed, and his attention was quickly attracted by the lively scene in the gambling workshop.

Chu Lan thought Duan Li didn't listen to it, but she actually remembered it.It's just that the owner of Mirage House seems to have a good temper, I'm afraid he's not so easy to get along with.

The man in brocade clothes was stunned for a moment when he heard Duan Li's words, then he smiled and shook his head: "That's not allowed, mirages have their own rules, once you take something, you must leave the money." After a pause, he added, "Or stay—life."

As the brocade-clothed man's voice fell, the temperature in the hall dropped to freezing point.

Behind the mask, Chu Lan couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, but Duan Li said, "You want my life?"

Judging by the tone of voice, I didn't feel any fear at all, and of course, I wasn't angry, just asked casually as if I wasn't sure.

"No, why would I be willing to take your life?" With a bang, the man in brocade clothes closed the jade bone fan. He took two steps forward, then gently lifted Chu Lan's chin with the fan, his voice smiling, The attitude is ambiguous: "I fell in love with Xianjun at first sight. If you want to be by my side all the time, I don't need the 1000 million taels of gold."

Chu Lan, who wanted to go to Duan Li's side, was startled by the man in brocade clothes. He opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and looked at the two people who were very close not far away.

In the past few years at Tianzhaomen, Chu Lan has read many books, most of which were borrowed from Qingxiu Peak's bookstore, and also given to him by Qi He.

Naturally, there will be no messy content in those books that is not conducive to practice.

So Chu Lan didn't know much about men and women, let alone men falling in love with men.

The first thing Chu Lan thought of was the dirty demons she saw in Chunfeng Building when she was nine years old.Those people not only attacked children, but also did not distinguish between boys and girls, they were so frantic to the extreme.

Looking at the brocade-clothed man who was almost sticking to Master's body, Chu Lan felt a surge of anger in his heart. The anger came quickly and violently, to the point where he couldn't even control it.

Chu Lan didn't want to control it either. This person's words and deeds were a blasphemy to the master, and he couldn't bear it.

Noticing that Chu Lan beside him moved, as if he wanted to leave, Ding Sheng hurriedly hugged his arm, and whispered, "Where are you going?"

Chu Lan threw Ding Sheng away directly, and moved towards Duan Li and the man in brocade clothes.

Seeing Chu Lan rushing out suddenly, the attendants in the mirage thought that he was going to harm the landlord, so they rushed over immediately.

Chu Lan's expression turned cold, and she kicked the two people who rushed forward, and then fell to Duan Li's side, opened the jade bone fan in the man's hand with one palm, and protected Duan Li behind her.

Chu Lan didn't draw his sword. The man in brocade clothes knew that he didn't want to make things too rigid, so he couldn't help but chuckled and praised, "What a beautiful skill."

Duan Li put one hand on Chu Lan's shoulder and led him to him, before he said, "You want me for a mere 1000 million taels of gold? Master Mirage, you are quite courageous."

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers, hooked Chu Lan's chin, stared into his eyes for a while, and then said to the man in brocade: "Look, my little apprentice is very angry."

Chu Lan: "..."

His master's posture was so much like Deng Tuzi molesting a good woman, Chu Lan couldn't help pressing Duan Li's restless paw.

The man in brocade clothes turned his eyes on Duan Li again, and said, "So, are you refusing?"

Duan Li asked back: "What do you think?"

The man in brocade clothes tapped his palm with a jade bone fan, and he said after a long time: "Well, you don't want to, and I can't force you. But IOUs are absolutely unacceptable, and I can't ruin it for an outsider. The rules of the mirage."

While talking, he set his eyes on Duan Li and Chu Lan, and suddenly had an idea: "I just said I fell in love with you, and I won't be too ruthless. Looking at your clothes, it should be Tianzhao Disciple of the sect. Then, how about asking this young master to go back to the sect to withdraw money, and before that, invite Xianjun to stay in the mirage for a few days?"

The little prince he was talking about was Chu Lan.

Before Duan could leave his mouth, Chu Lan flatly refused and said, "No." This person looked at Master with an obviously impure purpose, and he was worried about letting Duan Li stay here alone.

Before Young Master Jinyi spoke again, Chu Lan said again: "I have a way to pay the money."
