Chapter 1499: Chapter 1499

"Hey, what’s with this attitude? We came over with good intentions to get to know you, and yet you’re keeping us at arm’s length?"

Hearing this, the girl wearing sunglasses immediately reprimanded with dissatisfaction.

"Haha, I know you all aren’t ordinary people, but we’re just ordinary folks, so there’s no need to make your acquaintance."

Tang Ming chuckled and said teasingly, "Actually, the thing I despise the most in life is people who are more handsome than me, and this gentleman here fits that bill perfectly."

"Interesting, you really are interesting."

Du Kai’s expression turned peculiar as he rubbed his chin, "This face is natural, I can’t do anything to change it. You can only blame my parents for having such good genes."

"Then let’s leave it at that, we’ll meet again if fate allows."

Tang Ming smiled, putting his arm around Su Xiaoxi, and turned to leave.

"I study at Imperial University, if you ever run into any trouble in the Imperial City, you can find me there."

Seeing Tang Ming leave just like that, Du Kai quickly called out loudly to remind him.

Tang Ming and his friends were surprised, not expecting Du Kai to also be a student at Imperial University, a fellow alumnus!

"Who the heck is this guy anyway? He’s so full of himself."

After Tang Ming and his friends left, the girl grumbled unhappily.

"It’s precisely because we don’t know his background that we wanted to get acquainted. He’s powerful and well-financed, worth knowing. It’s unfortunate, we didn’t expect him to be so cautious."

Du Kai squinted in thought, "There’s no such figure among the younger generation in the Imperial City. Could he be a newcomer?"

"Hmph, who says the Imperial City doesn’t have such a person?"

The girl snorted coldly and calmly said, "Legend has it that Tang Ming is an exceptionally talented figure at eighteen or nineteen years old, definitely more impressive than this guy."

"Tang Ming is a different case, he’s creating the tenth Family, not in the same league as us, rather a competitor."

Du Kai chuckled, "I’d really like to meet this Tang Ming, see how extraordinary he is."

"I also want to meet him. If Tang Ming would join the Red Cherry Blossom Association, I’d be willing to give up my president position to him."

The girl Qingqing smiled, filled with interest in the legendary Tang Ming.

"Stop dreaming, Tang Ming is the head of the Liu Family, his strength is that of a Nine-star Martial Master, someone like him is pursuing the Dao and isn’t interested in money."

Du Kai joked, turning to walk into the distance.

"So what if he’s a Nine-star Martial Master? It’s not like we haven’t seen one before. Money makes the world go round, and even a Nine-star Martial Master has to follow our orders."

The girl followed behind Du Kai, grumbling discontentedly.

"Right, right, you’re always right."

Du Kai, not wanting to argue with the girl, watched with interest as Tang Ming and his group disappeared from sight, "These people are quite interesting. So young and yet they can easily handle nine billion in funds. Are they heirs to some reclusive business family?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I don’t have a good feeling about them. Let’s just ignore them from now on."

The girl snorted, clearly displeased at having been rebuffed earlier.

Tang Ming and his group made their way to the main street, with Li Xiaoli looking displeased at Tang Ming, "They came over to get to know us, why did you refuse? So impolite, huh?"

"It was indeed a bit impolite, not like your usual style."

Chen Cang also looked puzzled.

"We’ve already caused some trouble today, I don’t want to invite more."

Tang Ming glanced back cautiously, "Those two aren’t simple. Although I don’t know their background, the fact that they dared to bet a billion on me in that situation, do you think that’s just a coincidence?"

"It just means they have good judgment, like us, they’re confident in you, huh."

Li Xiaoli declared boldly.

"Haha, you guys know me well, know my capabilities, so betting on me to win is normal. But for those two to discern I’m stronger than that Hundred Chop, it shows they’re not simple."

Tang Ming chuckled, speaking with a serious tone, "I’ve never revealed my cultivation level. What does that tell you?"

"Could it be they’re really gambling?"

Liu Mengting looked uncertainly at Tang Ming.

"No matter how rich someone is, they wouldn’t gamble a billion on a whim."

Chen Cang shook his head, analyzing, "They probably really saw through Brother Ming’s strength, which is why they dared to bet so heavily."

"Exactly. When we were surrounded earlier, those who tried to approach them inexplicably fainted. It shows one of them is a master."

Su Xiaoxi agreed with the analysis.

"There’s another possibility."

Tang Ming smiled, squinting his eyes, "And that’s that they know me."

The group looked at Tang Ming with curiosity and suspicion.

"Are you saying they know who you are?"

Su Xiaoxi, having a keen understanding of Tang Ming’s words, was intrigued.

Tang Ming is a household name in certain circles of the Imperial City. If they recognized him and pretended otherwise, that would indeed be interesting.

"Whether they can see through my depth or knew me from before, suddenly approaching me at this time is very suspicious, so it’s best to stay cautious."

Tang Ming nodded, feeling that if he were alone, he’d gladly make new friends. But with three girls in tow, it’s better to avoid trouble.

"What are you talking about?"

Hua Yingjie looked bewildered at Tang Ming and the group, not understanding what was being discussed.

"Nothing, let’s find a place for a late-night snack."

Tang Ming looked oddly at Hua Yingjie, "Shouldn’t you also explain the situation to me?"

Hua Yingjie awkwardly laughed, unsure of how to respond.

They found a hotpot restaurant to have a feast.

After ordering, Tang Ming and his friends sat in a private room to discuss their profits from this encounter.

"Brother Ming, you’ve made money so easily, earning several billion in just one bet."

Chen Cang looked excitedly at his mobile banking balance, having turned three billion into fifteen billion.

"Oh, what’s your money compared to hers?"

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, enviously looking at Su Xiaoxi, "Sister Xiaoxi made the most with twenty billion this time, wow."

"Yes, Xiaoxi must treat us this time."

Liu Mengting added her agreement.

"Alright, alright, I’ll treat you all. I’ll cover all your expenses in the Imperial City from now on."

Su Xiaoxi generously promised.

"Haha, no need, we made money too, huh."

Li Xiaoli laughed smugly, "Even though it was borrowed money, we managed to double it to over a billion, we’re rich now, huh."

"We really have to thank Mu Zixin for lending us twenty-five million, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to gather so much capital."

Liu Mengting nodded excitedly, "But it’s a pity we have to pay back Mu Zixin with interest, and we’ll lose fifty million."
