As soon as Mingyue said this, almost everyone praised her for being generous.
There were even wealthy businessmen present who said with great pride: "If Master Shenxianshou loses, I am willing to pay you a hundred taels of gold, which can be regarded as making friends with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a new world had opened up, and one after another wealthy people began to respond to them.
In just a moment, the wealthy businessmen had gathered all of Mingyue's bets.
This made Wen Pengfei jealous, envious and hateful. He secretly cursed these lowly businessmen in his heart for being so short-sighted that they didn't even know who to please, as he was a prince of noble status.
But no one cared about Wen Pengfei's feelings. Everyone was talking to Mingyue like the stars surrounding the moon.
Among those who play with jade, few are poor.
Especially the wealthy businessmen in Wangnan City, they are all extremely rich. Every room of theirs has a few precious stones passed down from their ancestors, which can be sold at sky-high prices once they are sold.
What outsiders thought was an astronomical figure of one hundred taels of gold was just the price of a piece of fine jade in their eyes.
So they proposed to pay Mingyue for the bet. In fact, they had seen how powerful Mingyue was and they wanted to invest and make friends with him.
More friends mean more paths. Mingyue also accepted their kindness. After thanking them one by one with a smile, she let the master continue to cut the stone.
The two stone-cutting masters then continued their work under the watchful eyes of everyone.
At this moment, Wen Pengfei seemed to have used up his luck before. After the rules were changed, he did not get green with the first stone.
On the contrary, Mingyue's jade blossomed into a light green hibiscus. The area of the jade was very large, and the green color was clear and pure, which attracted several wealthy businessmen to bid for it.
Mingyue politely declined everyone's offer, saying that she would only raise other issues after the competition was over.
Wen Pengfei looked at the jade in Mingyue's hand with hatred and could only comfort himself in his heart, it's okay, even if he loses this game, he still won two games from her, he will definitely be the final winner.
However, things did not go as he wished. In the next three games, he did not get any green, and Mingyue had to catch up with him.
Seeing this, a guest clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "It shows that God still has eyes. Some people behave improperly, and God will not let them succeed."
The other onlookers all had expressions of approval on their faces.
There was a calm and composed look on Mingyue's face, as if winning or losing didn't matter to her.
Wen Pengfei was a little panicked now. There were a total of ten games and he had already played six of them. There were four more games to go. If he lost again, it would be bad.
What made him feel even more terrified was that this man, whom everyone called the God's Hand, was just like his title. Every stone he selected from the beginning to now turned out green. How terrifying was that
Fortunately, in the seventh game, Wen Pengfei also got green, but the seed was very poor, not at all comparable to Mingyue's, so he still lost this game.
The eighth game was still the same. It seemed as if God was playing a joke on Wen Pengfei. Ever since he asked to compare the water quality, the water quality of the stones he selected could never surpass Mingyue's.
If he loses one of the next two games, there will be no need for this competition.
Wen Pengfei was already praying to God in his heart, but he still couldn't stop the inevitable outcome.
He didn't even hit green in the next two games.
Mingyue won six out of ten competitions and also won the recognition of many wealthy businessmen, which can be said to be a great victory.
Wen Pengfei's face turned pale and he stared at the stones with his eyes wide open. He was unwilling to believe that he had lost.
Thinking of the 1,000 taels of gold, Wen Pengfei felt his eyes go dark and he fell to the ground. His two men quickly supported him and prevented him from falling to the ground.
Then the two men carried Wen Pengfei and were about to go out, but there were too many people in Zi Qi Dong Lai at this time, and they couldn't squeeze out at all. They could only shout loudly:
"Get out of the way, my family, the young master has fainted, we have to take him to see a doctor."
"Yes, please get out of the way quickly. If something happens to our young master, none of you will be able to escape."
But this is Zi Qi Dong Lai, and it is Prince Chen’s shop, so these wealthy businessmen are naturally not afraid of outsiders showing off their power.
"Oh, that's really interesting. He fainted immediately after losing. Has the bet been paid? Could it be that he couldn't pay the bet and wanted to run away?"
"I think so too, but there is no such thing as gambling on stones. Don't break the rules of our Wangnan City. If you don't give me the stakes, don't even think about running away."
"You want to run away after losing? That doesn't make sense. Either give him 1,000 taels of gold, or ask his family to redeem him."
"that is… "
The spectators were actually more excited than Mingyue, and they said everything she wanted to say.
The two men were also panicking at this moment. First, their master had fainted and there was no one to make decisions for them. Second, their master had lost so much gold. What would they do if the Marquis knew about it
But the two subordinates really didn't dare to reveal Wen Pengfei's true identity, because they all knew the real purpose of their master coming here, which was to secretly get rid of the Marquis's biological daughter. For this reason, the master even made an excuse, saying that he was going out to play with his classmates and friends.
If they revealed the master's true identity now, and the Marquis found out in the future that his own daughter was killed by the master, then things would be terrible.
For a moment, the two subordinates looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Prince Chen's eyes flashed in the crowd. His guess was probably right, so...
Prince Chen quietly called the shopkeeper over and whispered a few instructions.
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and soon stood out from the crowd, saying solemnly: "You all have a point. In my Purple Air Eastward, no one has ever dared to deny a loss. This trend must not be allowed to continue, otherwise how can my shop win the support of the public in the future?"
At this point, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Come here, please ask these three to leave. When the bets are paid off, you can leave."
Several guards walked out from the darkness and quickly captured Wen Pengfei and the other two like an eagle catching chicks.
When the spectators saw this, their expressions suddenly became filled with awe.
When Mingyue saw this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She knew that this must be the order of Prince Chen. If nothing unexpected happened, Prince Chen would look for her next.
Sure enough, just as Mingyue finished her thought, the shopkeeper looked at her and said in a gentle tone: "Mr. Ming, my master has invited me upstairs, I hope you can go there."
Mingyue curled her lips and said, "It is my honor."
After saying that, she slowly walked upstairs under everyone's envious gazes.
At this time, Prince Chen had already changed his clothes and was sitting in the house drinking brewed tea, waiting for Mingyue to take the bait.
Little did he know that Mingyue had already thrown out the bait, waiting for him to take the bait.
Although both sides have their own calculations, they are coincidental and reach the same goal.
