Republic of China [Arc 9.11- 9.12]

Arc 9.11 [Chapter 186]

The stone continued to be bid for, and in a short while, it had risen to five thousand silver teals. Bai Lixin didn't have much money, so he didn't continue participating.

Feng Xuelin was already short of money. Although he had made a lot of money from gambling, he still had to feed the aura-hungry jade soul, and his entire fortune only added up to 4,000 teals at the moment.

The stone was finally sold for 8,000 teals. It was bought by the same man who had just bought the overpriced stone Feng Xuelin had used to divert attention from his real goal.

The man's hands were trembling. He knew he had just suffered a great loss, and he only hoped that the stone would not lose him too much money.

He had lost his confident smile and was now pale and stroking the beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes fixed on the master stone cutter.

After all the stones had been auctioned off, the man couldn't wait to open his second stone. The stone was cut and a crystal green colour was revealed. The green colour was so rich that it could be sold for 20,000 teals. If he had only bought this one, he would have made a small fortune. The man's pale face eased up a little since he had made a profit.

The first stone he bought was then opened next, and this one was not as good as the last one. It was green and stained, mixed with mud and stones, a worthless piece of waste.

He had bid 10,000 teals for this stone and 8,000 for the second, which added up to almost no profit or loss.

A drop of cold sweat left the man's forehead. If it hadn't been for Wen Xuyao's provocative bidding, how would he have been attracted to the second stone? If he had settled for only the first piece, he would have lost all his money.

In the end, he had to thank Wen Xuyao, who had been raising the price and causing trouble, for he was his benefactor.

He borrowed the young master Feng Xuelin's insight, which is considered rude in the first place, but the young master deliberately deceived, which is considered unrighteous. So they are considered to be even.

But this young master Feng is so scheming that he is not as pure as he appears to be. The man bowed to Bai Lixin and didn't give Feng Xuelin a second look. He took the two stones and left in a hurry.

Bai Lixin smiled as he saw the man's retreating back. That man might never set foot in this gambling house again. It's a one in a million chance to strike it rich, and in the end, most of the money is still earned by the proprietor. That is the nature of gambling; nine out of ten gambles are lost.

After both stones were cut, the crowd's gaze on Fang Xuelin changed a little.

Feng Xuelin was frustrated by the fact that he hadn't made any profit today and had also earned a lot of negative attention. He glared at Bai Lixin with hatred before sneering and saying, "Why did Young Master Wen stop bidding just now?"

Bai Lixin smiled, "Naturally, I have no money. As you all said just now, my family has fallen on hard times and everyone knows it. Why do you have to point it out to embarrass me? "

Fang Xuelin gritted his teeth. 'When had Wen Xuyao developed such a three-inch tongue?'

"Although your family has fallen on hard times, Young Master Wen is still generous with his money. You've spent a lot of money on those stones at your feet. What? You don't dare to cut them open in public? "

Bai Lixin suddenly remember, "Yes! It's indeed time to cut them open. Look at me! It's my first time here, so I forgot. I would like to ask the master cutter to open these stones for me. "
