Coming out of Zhu Jing from a city, Han Xiao's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at the silent Little Lei Zi and joked: "Little Lei Zi, it's really rare for you to be quiet for a while. Normally, it's really hard to make you be quiet."

"Seventh Prince." Hearing Han Xiao say that, Lil 'Lei-zi immediately pouted and said gloomily, "I usually talk too much, but now that I'm not talking and you think I'm too quiet, I really don't know what you want me to do."

Han Xiao heard the dissatisfaction in Xiao Lei's words and smiled, "It's fine as long as you act like how you usually do. I'm not used to you suddenly quieting down, let's go to Mo Yun's place and take a look." As Han Xiao said that, he led Little Lei Zi towards the gambling houses he had opened.

After walking for a while, Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi arrived at the largest gambling den in the area. Looking at the endless stream of people and listening to the noise coming from inside, Han Xiao smiled lightly and lifted the curtain, then walked in.

"What do you two want to play today?" Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi had just entered when a man in a blue brocade suit came over. The man's chest was embroidered with a large dice design, which showed the difference between Yun Li's gambling den and the others.

"What do you have to play with here?" Han Xiao asked indifferently, the fan in his hand lightly tapped against the side of his fan as if he was a child from a rich family.

Our Cloud gambling den is the biggest gambling den in the entire Imperial City, with a total of two floors. The first floor is just a few simple places, with double numbers and double numbers, the maximum amount of compensation can reach thirty times. On the second floor, there are gamblers, gamblers and dice, and the maximum number of compensation can reach a thousand times. Li Er asked with a smile.

"Gambling people, gambling items, and dice. This is quite new. You can take us to where the dice are, but I'm going to the place with the highest payout." Han Xiao held the fan in his hand and said with a smile.

"Alright, please go upstairs." With that, Li Er turned and led Han Xiao and Little Lei Zi to the second floor.

Reaching the second floor, Han Xiao saw that the entire second floor was divided into four areas. In the innermost area, there was a large "bet" character, and the entire area was separated by a screen, making it look extremely mysterious.

"That's the place with the biggest amount of compensation. Our boss is the one in charge." Following Han Xiao's gaze, Li Er explained.

"In that case, let's go there." Han Xiao pointed at the house with the fan and walked towards it with Little Lei Zi in large strides, and Li Er's smile grew even wider when he saw Han Xiao heading towards that area.

When Han Xiao opened the door, he only saw Mo Yun sitting alone in the room. Mo Yun looked no different from two years ago, and if he were to say that there was anything different, it would be that his hand, which had been chopped off previously, had regrown.

"Master." Originally, Mo Yun thought that someone was here to challenge him when he saw the door curtain being lifted, but as he lifted his head, he saw a faintly smiling Han Xiao slowly walking towards him.

"You did a good job with Mo Yun's gambling den." "Yes." Han Xiao did not argue and directly walked to Mo Yun's side and sat down with a smile. The owner of the Cloud gambling den gave it to this subordinate, this subordinate does not dare to disrespect you. " Mo Yun lowered his head and said respectfully.

"It's one thing to put your heart into it. Ability is another thing. I can see that you have the ability. In order to reward you for the past two years, the Yun Qi gambling den will belong to you. You don't need to hand over that income to me." Han Xiao said with a faint smile.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Mo Yun's body quivered. Yun Qi gambling house was the only place besides the Yun gambling house that Han Xiao had access to, where he could earn at least a hundred thousand spirit stones a day. Even with his personality, he was still excited, and was even more loyal to Han Xiao.

"This subordinate thanks master for the reward. This is the total income of the major gambling houses for the past two years, which is 780 million spirit stones. Master, please take inventory." Mo Yun took out a dark golden storage ring and respectfully handed it to Han Xiao.

Taking over the storage ring, Han Xiao looked inside the pile of Spirit Stones and then smiled at Mo Yun, "I don't need to worry about what you do. Alright, I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer." With that, Han Xiao took Little Lei Zi and walked outside, passing by Li Er and saying, "He looks pretty smart, you've trained pretty well." After which, he lifted the curtain and left.

Looking at the bustling streets, Han Xiao couldn't help but think about whether or not he should use this money to open more shops and do different business. But after thinking about how he still had to return to the Abyss Level Academy, plus the fact that there was no one else apart from Xiao Jianfeng and Mo Yun that could help him, he could only regretfully give up and softly sigh as he brought little Lei Zi back to the Imperial Palace.

In the blink of an eye, Han Xiao had already been back in the Yun Ming Empire for a month. During this one month, other than the time when he was in a good mood, he would spend the rest of the time in the Fengxian Palace to cultivate and meditate on his martial art at the same time. His cultivation had always been fixed, so he could only rely on martial arts to improve his fighting strength.

"Seventh Prince, the Third Prince said that the Hall Competition will start in two days. This is the final one hundred and thirty-nine names that were selected. The Third Prince will let you take a look at them." Xiao Jianfeng said as he passed the name list to Han Xiao.

Reaching out his hand to receive the list, Han Xiao gave Xiao Jianfeng a general look before passing it back to him. With a faint smile, he said, "This month, other than going with him to inspect the written and martial exam grounds the day before yesterday, I have always left matters for Han Zhao to handle other times. I think he must be extremely depressed now."

"The Autumn Hall Competition is a once a year event for the Yunming Dynasty, and the slightest mistake could result in a death sentence. The third prince wanted to use the autumn hall exam as an opportunity to frame the seventh prince, but he didn't expect that the seventh prince wouldn't pay any attention to it or even interfere in the preparation of the Hall Competition." Xiao Jianfeng folded the list and said.

"Originally, I wasn't interested in that position at all, but it seems that Han Zhao didn't think so." Han Xiao said indifferently.

"Seventh Prince, you are the previous Empress's only son, the current Emperor's only Crown Prince. I have never been able to stand on the throne, and even the Third Prince wanted to get rid of you when you weren't valued in the past. Now that your talent far surpasses his, he would naturally be anxious." Xiao Jianfeng lightly said.

He picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of tea, then signaled Xiao Lei Zi to bring everyone down. After he placed the cup down and said indifferently: "I remember that Qing Lian is going to give birth in a month right? How is she?"

"The calmness of the embryo is very stable. After leaving the Five Emperors Palace, her spirit is much better." The mention of the 'easy' Xiao Jianfeng's face was filled with tenderness.

Seeing the gentleness in Xiao Jianfeng's eyes, Han Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, "After she finishes giving birth, find someone who is proficient in appearance changing techniques to make her look better. Don't call her by her name anymore, I will arrange a suitable identity for her from my grandfather's side so that she can marry you in glory. "If you give birth to a son, I will take him in as my foster son. I will arrange everything for him to be the best."

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Xiao Jianfeng's eyes were filled with gratitude and respect as he said: "Subordinate thanks Seventh Prince."

"This is what you and Qinggrong should get. You don't have to stay out the night for this period of time. It's more important to take care of Qinggrong when you return to your bodyguard's residence." Han Xiao said indifferently.

"Yes, your subordinate understands." Xiao Jianfeng said.

"There's more." Just as Han Xiao wanted to say something more, the door was suddenly pushed open by Little Lei Zi, and Han Xiao frowned. Just as he was about to ask why Little Lei Zi was so agitated, he saw Little Lei Zi run up to him excitedly and said: "Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince, just now the palace guards came to report that there were two people who claimed to be good friends and wanted to meet you. I asked the woman to say her name is Xiao Ke Er."

"Ke Er, isn't she supposed to be in the academy? Why is she here?" Han Xiao frowned.

"I don't know. Are you going to take a look at the Seventh Prince?" Little Lei Zi asked.

"Let's go take a look. I think that girl ran out of the academy. Really, cousin brother Jianfeng, you should come with me." Han Xiao helplessly held his forehead as he spoke to Xiao Jianfeng before leading Xiao Lei and Xiao Jianfeng towards the palace gate.

Because he was worried that Xiao Ke Er would get too impatient and cause trouble, Han Xiao walked rather quickly. The normally half an hour journey was over in less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, and from afar, he already saw the familiar red figure in front of the palace door. His heart was filled with surprise and helplessness, but when he walked over and saw the person next to Xiao Ke Er, his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Although he felt helpless, Han Xiao still walked up quickly. Waving his hand, he got the guard to stand up and look at the two of them helplessly: "Ke Er, why are you here?"

"Han Xiao, you finally came out. It wasn't because I was bored that I was idling in the academy. It just so happened that Shao Moke didn't return to Zheng Kang and Wang Chao, so we came to find you." Xiao Ke Er said as she quickly took Han Xiao's arm after seeing him.

"I think you want to escape Principal Leng's training. Before you left, I heard Principal Leng tell Principal Xiao that he wanted to properly train you." Han Xiao rolled his eyes and said. When he saw Xiao Moke, he asked in a depressed tone, "Why did you come as well? You didn't return to Zheng Kang Dynasty during the holidays?"

"I've already gone back to complete my previous mission, so it's the same if I don't go back now. Besides, I'm kind-hearted to not thank you for coming to find me when you have nothing better to do during your vacation." Shao Moke said in dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, just tell me that you still want to fight with me." Although he felt helpless in his heart, his heart still felt warm after seeing Xiao Ke Er and Xiao Moke.

Han Xiao glanced at the guards and indifferently said, "They are my friends and specifically came to find me. If Fifth Imperial Brother finds out, then you can just directly push the blame onto me." With that, Han Xiao turned around and said to Xiao Ke'er and Xiao Moke, "Since you guys are here, follow me to my palace to stay for a while." After he finished speaking, he brought Xiao Ke'er and Xiao Moke towards the direction of the Palace.
