CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 148: SHOWDOWN BETWEEN WOMEN

At Wanlong Gambling House, Long Huo was still holding a freshly cleaned Elf Mage Robe.

In fact, just moments ago, Long Huo had already secretly peeked into the room from outside the door.

At that time, Yun Sheng was examining Ye Beiming’s wounds, unaware of the situation outside.

It had already darkened outside, while inside, the Lighting Magic Array emitted a soft light.

On the bed, the man had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the woman, with lowered eyelids, was bandaging meticulously.

In that moment, time seemed to pause.

The faces of the two, already unparalleled under the heavens, appeared even more beautiful at this moment.

Long Huo felt a moistness at the back of his eyes, unwilling to interrupt this beautiful scene, he waited outside.

Yun Sheng looked up and saw Long Huo.

"Is it you? Steward Long? You and him..." Yun Sheng suddenly realized, the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss of Wanlong Gambling House, it turned out to be Ye Beiming.

"Miss Yun, Prince Beiming is indeed our master of Si Long," following Long Huo were three other men, Long Shui, Long Feng, and Long Tu.

These four were Ye Beiming’s confidants, as well as his capable aids.

That day, when the severely wounded master embraced Miss Yun and returned, Long Huo had already understood the master’s thoughts towards Miss Yun.

The master that Long Huo knew, was a person who handled matters very prudently.

The things he had planned over these years were never mentioned to anyone other than Young Master Cheng and Young Master Bu.

Let alone taking someone back to their stronghold.

The master’s willingness to bring Miss Yun back signified his silent acknowledgment of her as the future mistress.

Having recognized the woman determined by the master, Long Huo also accepted Yun Sheng as his future mistress.

The master was finally willing to find a woman.

Thinking of this, Long Huo felt a wave of emotion.

He had found Ye Beiming when Ye Beiming was seven years old.

Back then, the master was an almost autistic child, living secludedly in the Cold Palace, not inclined to talk or smile.

Following Empress Li’s command, Long Huo secretly taught Ye Beiming magic and martial arts, and the master grew at an astonishing rate.

But as he grew older, Long Huo felt that the master acted less and less like a child.

He neither cried nor was capricious, always remarkably calm at any time.

This situation continued until the master was nine years old, that year, he suddenly disappeared.

Long Huo almost searched the entire Yujing without any clues.

Just when Long Huo was blaming himself for his negligence, roughly a year later, the master suddenly returned to Yujing.

When the master came back, his eyes had recovered.

What was even more different was, Long Huo saw something in the master’s eyes that was different from before.

The master seemed to have come alive all at once.

In the following years, the master acquired Wanlong Gambling House and gradually began to build his own power base.

As a subordinate and also as an elder, Long Huo couldn’t help but consider finding a woman for the master.

Once, Long Huo thought about persuading the master to accept Long Shui.

After all, Long Shui was personally selected by the master back then, and Long Tu privately thought that the master could accept Long Shui.

However, the master did not agree and even reprimanded him.

Although he was scolded, Long Huo was still unyielding, and he tried multiple times, looking at many women, from young girls to married women, Long Huo tried to find them all.

But without exception, the master rejected them all.

Long Huo began to worry, wondering if the master had acquired some bad habits from being too close to Young Master Cheng and Young Master Bu.

Fortunately, at this time, Miss Yun appeared.

Finally, Long Huo saw a rare and unusual hint from the master.

It turns out the master did still like women.

Long Huo, almost in admiration, watched Yun Sheng, while Yun Sheng felt a chill from his inexplicable gaze.

"Manager Long, if there’s nothing else, I’d like to walk around," Yun Sheng was quite interested in this courtyard of Ye Beiming.

The Yun Residence has been relocated, and Yun Sheng was also considering purchasing a new estate.

After all, after graduating from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, she must choose a place to settle down.

The layout of the residences in Sky Wing City is quite good.

"Miss Yun, feel free to walk around. If you need anything, just give the word," Long Huo was very tactful and immediately withdrew.

The night was perfect, and Yun Sheng walked in the small courtyard, carefully observing her surroundings, discovering that this courtyard was full of hidden secrets, with heavy troops lying in ambush everywhere.

The Magic Array here was also very ingeniously set up.

Suddenly, Yun Sheng noticed a very unfriendly gaze.

Long Shui was staring at Yun Sheng.

"You better stay away from the master."

Yun Sheng frowned, as this was not the first time Long Shui had challenged her.

"That’s something you should say to your master," Yun Sheng responded, looking puzzled.

"You’re not worthy of the master!" Long Shui blocked Yun Sheng’s path.

Yun Sheng didn’t know what others like Long Huo thought, but Long Shui would never acknowledge her status.

What mistress, as long as the master isn’t married, Long Shui wouldn’t acknowledge any woman.

"Move aside," Yun Sheng said, annoyed.

Long Shui pulled out her Magic Wand, aimed at Yun Sheng, but just as she was about to draw her Magic Wand, Yun Sheng’s hand moved, and she accurately grabbed Long Shui’s hand.

Long Shui tried to resist, only to find her wrist numb and the base of her thumb in pain; the Magic Wand was snatched away.

Yun Sheng, with Long Shui’s Magic Wand in her hand, performed the whole process as if by magic.

Yun Sheng did not ignore Long Shui’s unharmed hand.

If she remembered correctly, the reason for Shuanglong’s withdrawal was because Long Shui was attacked.

It appears that Long Shui had harbored other intentions and betrayed Ye Beiming long ago.

Yun Sheng didn’t mind teaching a lesson to Ye Beiming’s disloyal subordinate.

"You are called Long Shui, right? Don’t forget, I was able to kill Liu Qingqing, and I can kill you too."

A chill went through Long Shui’s heart.

She hadn’t forgotten when Long Tu returned, his expression full of astonishment.

The usually inarticulate Long Shui, animatedly recounted the result of the August monthly competition finals.

The Flame Emperor fatally defeated Liu Dao.

The mighty Liu Dao, both people died.

Liu Qingqing’s corpse couldn’t even be found.

All the rumors about the "Flame Emperor" fell apart.

That "Emperor" was the main force in the Flame Emperor, and Yan was just a defensive Mage.

All nonsense, all lies concocted by this seemingly harmless woman before me.

Realizing this, Long Shui shuddered.

All of this was designed by Yun Sheng from the start.

She probably had been playing the pig to eat the tiger.

What Water Element Elf Mage, it was all a façade.

Liu Qingqing and she, both had been deceived.

Before her was this seemingly beautiful and harmless girl, yet so cunning and despicable.

"The master was deceived by you!" Long Shui hated most that the master had fallen for such a woman.

She was definitely not worthy of being their mistress.

"Do you like Ye Beiming?" Yun Sheng caught the jealousy in Long Shui’s words.
