Zhan Yu Shu grinned satisfactorily. “This fellow is a broke country bumpkin; if it’s gambling on money, his mind is definitely not up for it! And even if he gets past this round by luck, there is still Beast Fighting in the back… Things like cock, dog, and cricket fighting are things that debauchees play with. For precaution sake, let’s go straight into the most profound type of fight! Xuan Beast!”
“Determining the victor in two rounds: through gambling and Xuan Beast fighting? Great idea!” Zhan Qing Feng got himself together.
Zhan Yu Shu’s suggestion could be said to be extremely cunning!
It was a known fact that things like music, chess, poetry, and singing were for building of one’s character. Whereas things like gambling and betting on animal fights were things that belonged to a debauchee’s area of expertise. Most people were enthralled by the four arts and had dignity and often have a strict family background, so they did not have many opportunities to come in contact with those inappropriate things.
These were two different things from two different worlds!
And Mo Jun Ye did not come from a wealthy background. He must have exhausted all of his capabilities to learn so many things. If he surpassed these debauchees in the domain of eating, drinking, and being merry…
That was something that was absolutely impossible!
There couldn’t possibly be someone who was the perfect combination of two opposing things, right?
Upon making his decision, Zhan Qing Feng’s smile became more relaxed. He stepped forward and said, “Brother Mo is truly a talent, winning every single round. I am truly impressed. Next, I do not intend to further waste Brother Mo’s time anymore. Let’s determine the victor within the next two rounds! We only compete for two more rounds. If Brother Mo wins both of them, then whatever requests and conditions Brother Mo has, we will offer them straight up. If Brother Mo loses, then we will go according to the agreement of our bet. How’s that?”
Miao Xiao Miao was even more surprised. She pondered over it and instantly figured out what the Zhan Brothers were scheming. She couldn’t help but frown and scolded. “Despicable!”
“That’s right! Gambling it is! The two of us gamble against each other. Everyone starts with ten million liang silver bills as our wager. With twenty rounds as the limit, the one with the most money won is the winner!” Zhan Qing Feng carefully scrutinized Jun Mo Xie’s face, not missing a single bit of his expression, fearing that he had selected a domain that he was proficient in again…
Although the possibility of it was not big…
But what he didn’t know was that Jun Mo Xie’s surprise was indeed real, but not because he didn’t know how to gamble… but merely because he was simply… too well-versed in it…
Just like Zhan Qing Feng thought, the victory of this round had really already been determined!
“Then how do we go about gambling?” Jun Mo Xie pretended to be unfamiliar with the concept. “Each person has a card and we flip to see whose is bigger?”
“No! We compete with dice. The total points on the dice will determine the winner.” Zhan Qing Feng used a very solemn and serious voice as he said this. “We shall play for twenty rounds. Minimum bet for each round is one million, until one side is completely broke.”
“That’s simple; isn’t it just throwing dice. I know how to do it.” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his fists. “But I haven’t played this thing in many years. Oh right, I have to let First Young Master Zhan know, this Young Master has lots of side fortune. This sort of wealth loves coming to me. Don’t cry when I win later ah, there’s so many people watching, it’ll be really embarrassing ah… En, one million per round, I don’t have that much. Where can I find so much money? How about I make a trip back home to take some from Saint Emperor Cao?”
“I’ll lend you!”
“I’ll lend you!”
This same sentence came from two different people at the same time. Namely, Zhan Qing Feng and Miao Xiao Miao. The difference was that Zhan Qing Feng’s tone was full of genuine excitement that his prey had fallen into his trap, whereas Miao Xiao Miao’s revealed indescribable worry and concern.
The moment the gambling table and the dice cups were carried out, everyone present turned into stone.
————————
After a long long while, Zhan Qing Feng looked at the empty table before himself like a statue. Then looking over at that thick pile of bills before Mo Jun Ye, Zhan Qing Feng was practically on the verge of going crazy! Just as Young Master Jun’s ‘prophecy’ had it, he really was on the verge of crying!
He totally didn’t know how he lost!
Zhan Qing Feng only felt as if his entire mind was completely blank!
He had clearly been winning the previous eight continuous rounds, leaving the opponent with only two million liang left. Victory was clear. He had even mocked Mo Jun Ye: Where did the legendary side fortune go? Your wealth didn’t come today; instead, you are going to be giving your wealth away ah!
There were just two more rounds for him to start playing his victory songs, but why did the situation suddenly change in the last two rounds?!
When Mo Jun Ye won two rounds, he was still thinking: Could it be that this scoundrel’s dog-shit side fortune has really arrived? But in the subsequent rounds, he did not win a single one of them! Especially the last few, for the sake of turning the tables around, he increased his bet in hopes of securing his victory in a single round. But it was all to no avail. He completely lost every single bit of the silver bills he had brought!
But it was really odd. Both of them were sitting so close to each other, and there were numerous judges watching the match nearby. Not a single one of them was an ordinary person! Even if a Saint Emperor used his Xuan Qi here to cheat, he’d be discovered!
There was no possible chance of a fluke!
This meant that during this entire process, there really wasn’t anyone using their Xuan Qi to cheat, ah!
“You lose!” Mo Jun Ye cried out excitedly. Then, Mo Jun Ye hugged all the silver bills and walked over to Miao Xiao Miao. “Miss Miao, thank you for your ten million liang. Otherwise, it’d really be embarrassing for me… I said earlier that if I won, I’ll repay you back in double. Here, this is the principle and interest of thirty million liang, please check hahaha…”
It was really playing back in double ah. Aside from the principle of ten million, the other twenty million liang were a huge bonus. Of course, this was only half of the wager. For the sake of trying to recoup his losses, First Young Master Zhan had lost a total of fifty million liang silver bills. With the ten million Miao Xiao Miao had loaned him, halving it would be thirty million liang. So Jun Mo Xie just divided it evenly between the two of them!
“Brother Mo… You really… I… don’t know what to say anymore…” Miao Xiao Miao laughed bitterly, a look of awkward surprise on her face.
“Actually I was wiping my cold sweat just now. Didn’t you see me losing at the start? I almost lost everything. But thank god my fortune came back in time, so naturally it was time to shine… I’ll let you in on a secret, I actually do not know how to gamble, but the moment my luck comes in, I’ll win no matter who I’m playing against…” Jun Mo Xie’s words almost made Zhan Qing Feng, who was still in a state of giddiness, faint from anger.
When faced with a scoundrel like this, he had no idea how he lost. No matter how he looked at it, this person’s techniques had none of the technicalities in it, and every single move screamed beginner!
But he won!
No matter how Zhan Qing Feng tried to figure it out, the conclusion was that he had lost, and he had lost unexpectedly! And lost a huge sum of fifty million liang!
And lost their fourth hope out of the five rounds!
Right now, the Zhan Family couldn’t be bothered about whatever huge amount they lost. They had already bet all their hopes on the last round!
Xuan Beast fighting!
