Chapter 511: Chapter 511: I Heard You’re Good at Cards?
Qianxun listened, and lowering his head, he looked back at the bloodstain.
He then turned to Huo Tianzun and said, "Yanzhi, this gesture... indeed also conforms to the way of writing the character for ’cloud’."
When writing ’cloud’ in a continuous stroke, if the last dot isn’t written, doesn’t it look just like a wavy line?
But, this ’cloud’... whom is he trying to indicate?
Huo Tianzun slightly narrowed his eyes at that moment and said, "Perhaps he meant to say that the person who killed him from behind the scenes, may or may not have had the character ’cloud’ in their name. This matter, I will investigate."
Qianxun, upon hearing this, nodded and then the two of them turned around and left the dungeon.
...
The next day, Qianxun and Huo Tianzun returned to Yanjing City.
Seeing the two of them return safely, Bai Yingying and the others couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
After returning, Qianxun and Huo Tianzun each busied themselves with their tasks.
Huo Tianzun investigated all the members of the Mystical Sect related to the character ’cloud’ and finally pinpointed a few suspect Taoists, commanding his people to secretly investigate their movements.
Meanwhile, Qianxun was studying languages such as Hong Kong Cantonese while keeping busy with fitness, writing lyrics, and composing music.
After all, Xiao He’s debut was set for Valentine’s Day, and his new album had to be ready before then.
Qianxun was already extremely proficient in writing lyrics and composing music, particularly talented in creating ancient-style music. Although the era had changed, his skills had not declined.
Therefore, the song she composed for Su He was an invigorating ancient-style tune, unlike most of the ancient-style songs nowadays filled with lingering sentiments of sorrow and longing.
In the blink of an eye, half a month flew by.
After sending the lyrics and music to Su He, Qianxun left with Ruan Mianmian and others to Hong Kong to start filming Gambling God 2.
Gambling God was a comedy film, and the previous Gambling God 1, with its mix of humor and thrilling moments, became an instant hit upon its release.
Therefore, whether Gambling God 2 could continue the success of Gambling God 1 was naturally anticipated.
...
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Qianxun rested for one night at the hotel and went to meet the director the next day with Ruan Mianmian.
In the entertainment circle of Hong Kong, there has never been a lack of handsome men and beautiful women. This time, Qianxun was able to secure the leading female role partly because of Liang Chu’s recommendation and partly because of her looks. Of course, another important reason was Qianxun’s card-counting ability.
Because Zhong Sicheng, the director of Gambling God, was a card-playing expert himself.
When Qianxun and Ruan Mianmian went to find him, the director was playing cards with a few bigwigs from Hong Kong.
Upon hearing of Qianxun’s arrival, Zhong Sicheng quickly stood up and said, "You are Su Qianxun? You do have an impressive appearance, and I hear you’re skilled at cards? I just happen to be tired of playing, why don’t you play a few rounds for me? Don’t worry if you lose."
Clearly, Zhong Sicheng intended to see for himself whether Qianxun’s gambling skill was as miraculous as Liang Chu had described.
Qianxun, upon hearing Zhong Sicheng’s words, gave a slight smile, nodded her head, then glanced at Ruan Mianmian while saying to Zhong Sicheng, "Then Qianxun will not stand on ceremony."
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian immediately stepped forward and naturally took off Qianxun’s coat, casually spreading it over the chair.
Only then did Qianxun sit down on her own coat.
...
"Hello to all the seniors," Qianxun said, nodding to the three people at the card table as she sat down.
Among these three were two men and one woman. The two men had both won the title of Movie Emperor, prestigious figures in the circle, while the female star was a famous singer with countless fans.
After hearing Qianxun’s greeting, they glanced at her.
Only one of the chubby Movie Emperors, after holding his gaze on Qianxun for a moment, laughed and said, "Since we have a new player, let’s start again, shall we? This way we won’t be accused of bullying the newcomer?"
