Wu Eryong cautiously glanced at Yang Tiansheng and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Yang Tiansheng: ???
He twisted around in anger and grabbed Yang Ge’s neck, shaking him hard, "You unlucky bastard, can’t you sit anywhere else but behind me?"
Yang Ge struggled and argued, "If you hadn’t gone for that one bamboo just now, would you have drawn the nine circles? Can you blame me for that?"

Yang Tiansheng shouted angrily, "I just took a few big wins off them, and the moment you join, I lose to all three houses..."
Yang Ge pried his hands off, "It was clearly your poor play... Er Yong, move over, let me take care of these three!"
Wu Eryong, as if pardoned, quickly got up, "You take over, you take over..."
Yang Ge took Wu Eryong’s seat, shuffled the mahjong tiles with flair, and while siding them out, he said, "What about that amnesty offer, is it still on the table?"
Yang Tiansheng looked at him unhappily, "I knew you were beating around the bush for sure, just to ask about that!"
Yang Ge sighed softly, "What can I do? You all are my friends."
Yang Tiansheng concentrated on organizing his tiles, and didn’t rush to reply. After a while, he finally said, "We gotta put that on hold for now. Bringing it up at this critical moment might cause a real mess..."
He paused, then also let out a sigh, "I really messed up Wei!"
Yang Ge kept his head down playing cards, and after a while, he said, "As long as you know what’s in your heart... Once you become the Sect Hierarch of Ming Sect, the burden on your shoulders will get even heavier."
After playing several rounds of mahjong, Yang Tiansheng suddenly murmured, "Sometimes I feel like I’ve been tricked by you. I only ever wanted to join in on the fun, drifting like a cloud or a wild crane through life, so how did I end up on the path to becoming the Sect Hierarch? The Ming Sect is a huge deal, and to be a good Hierarch won’t be easy, I can kiss my days of leisure goodbye for the rest of my life."
Yang Ge laughed, "Oh really? Well, I am very sorry about that!"
He nonchalantly drew a one bamboo and boldly played it, "Charging chicken!"
"Hey, that’s the card I was waiting for."
Li Jincheng, with a cheeky grin, slapped his hand down and reached for the one bamboo that Yang Ge had just played.
Xiang Wudi gave him a wicked glance, smiling just the same, "Great minds think alike... I am also banking on that single one bamboo."
Yang Ge couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the table and exclaimed loudly, "Are you kidding me? No one bamboo has shown up and you guys are claiming it? Haven’t you ever seen money before?"
"Yeah, right!"
Sitting across from him, Yang Tiansheng also confidently pushed his tiles forward, "Not a single one of dots appeared, and you dared to play it, who else should we claim from... I win with one of dots."
"Damn..."
Yang Ge looked shocked at the three of them, "Don’t tell me you’re ganging up to slaughter me alone?"
"Hahaha..."
Just then, the people from Xiao Baoqi’s neighboring table suddenly burst out laughing.
Yang Ge immediately realized, and gritting his teeth, he said, "Alright, alright, so it was the four of you who backstabbed me!"
"Blaming us, huh?"
Xiao Baoqi stated confidently, "How many times have you said you’ve been cut while playing charging chicken? Even you can’t remember."

"Well done, all of you are doing great!"
Yang Ge raised a thumbs-up and swiped it around, bellowing, "Just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you guys later... Another round!"
Li Jincheng stuck out a hand and shook it incessantly, "What do you mean another round, pay up first!"
Xiang Wudi: "Right, pay up first..."
Yang Ge bellowed, "Fine, I’ll pay... Miaomiao, bring me some money, and bring over my Pixiu too, I simply don’t believe it today; in my own territory, that you guys can win my money?"
He rolled up his sleeves, looking imposing and majestic.
The four continued to play mahjong, with Yang Ge keeping up his chatter, "Jin Cheng, do you still want to keep fighting with Jinfanwu and Lianhuan Fort?"
Li Jincheng glanced at him, "What now, I can’t fight?"
Yang Ge nodded, "Better not fight if you can avoid it, there’s been a bunch of people stirring trouble recently, it’s quite annoying... Of course, I’m just mentioning it casually, it’s your family business after all, you call the shots."
Li Jincheng nonchalantly nodded, "I’ve already pushed Jinfanwu back to the south of Yangzhou, whether we keep fighting or not, I don’t really care, it depends on them, if they want to stop, then we’ll stop, if they want to keep fighting, then I’ll just have to keep them company..."
"Lianhuan Fort is an old name in the martial arts community, and you as the leader need to show the generosity and spirit befitting your position."
Yang Ge, while playing his cards, said, "Find a time to talk to them, give them a way out, a golden ladder to climb down. If they’re too stubborn to see reason, then you can carry on fighting."
Li Jincheng nodded without hesitation, "Your word is absolutely effective... Er Yong, send a message to that Zhuang Chu guy, tell him I invite them for tea, the time and place are up to them!"
Wu Eryong, who was sitting behind and to the side, immediately stood up, responding, "As you order, Big Boss, I’ll get it done right away... Gentlemen, Leader Yang, Xiang, enjoy yourselves, I’ll take my leave first."
Everyone waved goodbye to Wu Eryong.
Yang Ge withdrew his hand and gave Li Jincheng a thumbs-up, "Big Boss Li is awesome!"
"Whether I’m awesome or not, we shall see, but you... so little."
Li Jincheng badgered him with a sly smile and a playful wink.
Yang Ge, puzzled: "Little? What do you mean little?"
Li Jincheng: "You’re the little husband now!"
"Huh?"
Yang Ge looked baffled as he counted his cards, "Eh? How did I become the little husband? Did you guys steal my cards?"
Yang Tiansheng: "Familiarity aside, I’ll still sue you for slander if you talk nonsense."
Xiang Wudi: "You can doubt my character, but you can’t doubt my integrity in gambling."
Li Jincheng: "Wasn’t it you who just made a meld and forgot to draw a card?"
Yang Ge, enraged: "Then why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Li Jincheng: "Blaming me, huh?"
Yang Tiansheng: "Ha ha ha, come on, let’s play, let’s grow bigger and stronger, and create more brilliance."
