Chapter 373 Three Days

What happened next became much simpler.

Elder Xiong naturally did not dare to accept Yan Zhan's bet. If he lost this time, it would not be a thousand taels of silver. A total loss of ten thousand taels was enough to give the owner behind him an excuse to kill Elder Xiong.

As a result, Boss Xiong could only alert the owner behind him.

A man in purple.

Just as Xu Han had expected, it was an Asura Envoy from the Dark Asura Palace, and this casino was the contact point set up by the Dark Asura Palace in Wuzhou Town.

Xu Han took the money he had won from the Dark Asura Hall and explained his intentions. Only then did everyone who understood Xu Han's true purpose become stunned. Ning Zhumang's face was flushed red, and the concern on his face could be said to be overflowing with words.

The Asura Envoy was obviously extremely displeased with Xu Han's method of exchanging wool for meat on the sheep's body. However, the rules of the Dark Asura Palace were laid out there. He had better take over such a business and promised to give an answer within two months. At that time, they would naturally go find Xu Han.

Xu Han did not doubt Senluo Palace's promise, so he left with everyone satisfied.

"Pu!" However, when he stepped out of the gambling hall, Chu Chouli, who had always had a gloomy expression, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. At that moment, his head tilted and he was about to fall to the ground.

Xu Han, who had originally thought of Chu Qiu's divorce, was quick to help him, which saved him from falling to the ground in a sorry state.

"Big Brother Chu! You are …" The surrounding people were also greatly shocked by this change, and they all stepped forward to ask with concern.

At that time, the pale-faced middle-aged man struggled to open his eyes and muttered, "Little deceiver, big deceiver…"

"Little thief touches a pearl, the Grand Dao steals his life…"

"Is my luck here?"

"My life will decline …"

After saying that, the middle-aged man seemed to be unable to hold his head and fainted.

…

After returning to the inn, Chu Chouli still did not show any signs of waking up.

Xu Han placed Chu Chouli on the bed. He tried several times to find out Chu Chouli's situation, but he did not find anything.

Just as he was frowning, Ning Zhumang suddenly said, "Let me give it a try."

Only then did Xu Han recall that Ning Zhumang was the head of the Exquisite Pavilion. He was born in Xuanhe Peak, and in terms of medical attainments, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the best in Great Zhou's Jianghu. Xu Han understood this and quickly moved aside. Ning Zhumang began to investigate Chu Chouli's situation.

However, this was still not an easy task. Ning Zhumang helped Chu Chouli up and sat down beside him, wandering through Chu Chouli's meridians, trying to find the crux of the problem.

However, judging from Ning Zhumang's tightly furrowed brows and the sweat gradually appearing on his forehead, Xu Han also guessed that it would probably take quite a while before he could figure out exactly where Chu Chouli's abnormal state had come from.

Time passed by breathlessly.

It was difficult for Xu Han to tell from Ning Zhumang's ugly expression and Chu Chouli's sleeping expression whether the situation was good or bad.

Yan Zhan and Xue Ning also frowned deeply. Obviously, they were extremely concerned about Chu Chouli's situation, but just like Xu Han, they could not do anything that could help Chu Chouli.

Even Xuan'er and Aowu seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the matter. They lowered their heads and lost their usual playfulness.

"Little friend" Just as Xu Han was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before turning around to look. Unknowingly, Master Wei was already standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"Master Wei" Xu Han wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Master Wei.

The old man turned around and said, "May I speak with you?"

Xu Han was stunned again, but he realized that Master Wei 's sudden search for him had something to do with Chu Chouli. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he nodded.

…

As Master Wei walked into his room, Xu Han straightforwardly asked, "Does Master Wei know what happened to Big Brother Chu?"

However, compared to Xu Han's anxiety, Master Wei was calm and unhurried.

He did not answer Xu Han's question immediately. Instead, he walked to the side of the bed and found a comfortable seat to sit down. He then looked at Xu Han and said, "There are many things in this world that are unfair."

"For example, some of them were born to be nobles, children of heaven's will, and true dragons, while others were born to be beggars who worked hard for their livelihoods. Even if they were lucky enough to be dragons and snakes, they would not be able to escape the fate of marrying someone else."

As he said this, the old man still had a familiar smile on his face. However, Xu Han's expression changed at that time. His brows sank and he asked again, "What does Sir want to say?"

"Sometimes, the rules between heaven and earth are terribly fair." The old man didn't seem to notice Xu Han's strange behavior. He continued to speak slowly, "The people often say that the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock. You can't stay alive until five o'clock."

"Someone has changed the debt of the King of Hell. When it comes to repaying the debt, including the principal and interest, it is naturally enough to ruin everyone's fortune and lose all their money."

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression changed again.

He understood some of the old man's words, but he didn't understand them at all.

He looked at the old man with an inexplicable expression, but the old man only had that calm smile on his face. He was a little uncertain about the old man's thoughts, but he still asked at that time, "Then how does Mr. Yi see Big Brother Chu's current situation?"

The old man did not say anything this time. He only extended one of his hands. He retracted his thumb and pinky, and extended the other three fingers.

"Three months?" Xu Han's expression became even uglier.

But just as he said that, the old man shook his head.

"Three days?"

Xu Han asked again. The old man was silent and tacit.

"Does Sir have a way to save him?" Xu Han did not believe that since Master Wei had seen through the crux of Chu Chouli's problem, he had stayed here to talk to him just to tell Xu Han that Chu Chouli only had three days of life.

"The debt of the King of Hell is not easy to repay. This old man is a businessman. Brother Xu, do you want this old man to do this business at a loss?" The old man replied with a smile. This was undoubtedly a tacit acknowledgement of Xu Han's guess.

"What do you want, sir?" Xu Han asked with a deep gaze.

"Brother Xu, what do you think you have on you that can exchange for Brother Chu's life with King of Hell?" The old man asked.

Xu Han was stunned again. What could be exchanged for a life…

This is a very difficult problem, but in a sense, it is also a very simple problem.

Xu Han froze in place, not knowing how to continue this topic.

Master Wei smiled again.

"There are still three days left. Brother Xu, you can think about it carefully."

"I've thought it through. This old man is duty-bound…"

"If you don't think so, then you should spend the rest of your time with Brother Chu."
