Chapter 435 A Master Indeed

The last day of October was still marked by the blazing sun, which baked the ground with scorching light and produced streams of hot air, making people sweat madly and suffer badly.

Although the situation was like this, the onlookers still showed great interest, and no one was willing to miss the gamble that already had a predictable ending in their mind.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The stone cutting machine was working tirelessly in the sun. Sparks and small pieces of stone flew to all directions, but that could not drive the enthusiasm of these people away.

“God, green again. The former is the dry and white type, but it is big, as big as a fist. This piece is the bean type, and it is a success, absolutely.”

“Right, a success or not, let’s just put it aside, and each one containing jadeite alone is something unbelievable! He is a master indeed. So brilliant!”

“If only I had such an ability. Master Mo is Master Mo. Someday I should invite him to select some stones for me.”

These people with respect and admiration looked attentively at Master Mo, who was smiling in a reserved manner.

The first dry and white type was not valuable and could not be counted as a success, but the gamble stressed the total value, so being successful or not was not important.

As long as each one was not empty, that was enough to maintain his master’s reputation and win this gamble.

Moreover, the mottled-green type was found in the second raw stone. Although its type was not so good, it was still big, as big as a child’s fist. No doubt, this was a success.

He was not sure what type of jadeite could be taken out from the third stone, but as long as there was jadeite, winning the gamble was without question.

Childe Liu and his partners had already been so excited that they opened their mouths wide, and their look at Master Mo was like the one reserved for the god of heaven, praising him inwardly, “A master is a master.”

Then, turning to the indifferent look of Ding Ning, all of them thought, “This little guy is still acting, but I guess his heart must be shaking now.”

Xiang Bolong was especially excited, so much like he had got rid of pressure and become exalted and was comfortable from head to toe. Giving a cold smile, he shouted, “Childe Ding, what else do you want to say? Just admit defeat, okay?”

Ding Ning looked at him with the eyes that he used to care for the retarded. “The Guy Who Always Gives Money Away, are you out of your mind? How do you know I have lost?”

Xiang Bolong blushed after he was annoyed by the title the Guy Who Always Gives Money Away he used and said coldly, “A fact is a fact. What’s the use of only defending yourself with words?”

“What is the fact?”

Ding Ning sneered and pointed at his three raw stones. “I haven’t begun to disintegrate the stones, but you say I have lost. Are you really muddle-headed?”

Xiang Bolong was distressed and speechless. “Right, he has not begun to disintegrate the stones. Why should he lose?” He was too complacent to remember who he was.

“Well, Bolong, don’t argue with him, just wait patiently, and he will be convinced sooner or later.”

Childe Liu glanced at Ding Ning with a proud look and gave Xiang Bolong advice.

“Humph, then let me wait and see what kind of jadeite Childe Ding can take out.”

Xiang Bolong tried hard to suppress his anger and said with a sneer.

“You will see, the Guy Who Always Gives Money Away.”

Ding Ning gave a calm but elusive smile. Xiang Bolong was startled by it and thought anxiously and doubtfully, “Is this guy sure to win?”

Remembering that he lost several rounds of gamble in a row last time, Xiang Bolong put on a depressed face and prayed inwardly, “I must not lose again this time. I stole my father’s treasures and secretly pawned it, and then I got enough wager money. If I lose, my father will beat me to death.”

Seeing that he was nervous, Childe Chen patted his shoulder and comforted him quite confidently. “Bolong, don’t worry. We have Master Mo. We won’t lose.”

“Right, we have Master Mo. No matter how lucky this boy is, how can he be master’s match?” Now, Master Mo had already become all his spiritual support and belief in winning.

“Wow, green again. Master Mo is so amazing!”

“The three raw stones all contain ‘green’. This is the shiny type, right? Amazing, really amazing!”

“That little guy who acts rashly dares to gamble against Master Mo. He is really rash.”

“Alas, young people should get frustration and lessons, and then they will know how vast and great the world is.”

“I do think this little young man has no idea about fear. 300 million, it is 300 million! Alas, I have never seen so much money in my whole life, but it will be gone in the blink of an eye. I think the little guy will weep and faint.”

…

While these people were talking with compassion or a gloating attitude, the third shiny type jadeite that was even a little bigger than an adult’s fist was taken out. After the appraisers appraised the three pieces of jadeite, they estimated that these pieces could be worth about 16 million. The onlookers nodded, and Ding Ning also nodded his approval.

All the people were looking at Master Mo with the eyes of admiration, which he accepted with a very reserved expression, but he never expected the third one to be the shiny type, either, so he became quite calm. “I will win this time. Even if Ding Ning were exceptionally lucky and took out a piece of jadeite, it wouldn’t be worth 16 million, unless that one were the glass type or ice type and it should be big.

“But is that possible? Some people who have been gambling on stones for a lifetime have never seen what the glass type is like. Ding Ning won’t be so lucky.” Thinking of the 100 million he would get, he felt a surge of excitement going through his chest.

If he had not experienced the life of the mortal world, he would have never known the cuteness of money. During this time, he had been living a voluptuous life where there were alcohols and women, so that he had been addicted to it and didn’t want to go back to the ascetic days anymore.

Seeing that the shiny type had been taken out, Xiang Bolong immediately became complacent again. Squinting at Ding Ning, he said sarcastically, “Do you still wish to defend yourself with words now? Just admit defeat.”

Childe Liu seemed to have seen the final result and said hypocritically, “Childe Ding, thank you for letting me win.”

“Were both of your heads caught by the door when you were young, right? I haven’t opened my raw stones yet. Are you in a hurry to go to hell?”

Ding Ning shouted angrily and waved his hand to let the stone cutting master cut the stone.

“Humph, deathbed struggle.”

Master Mo sneered proudly.

“Right, until all is over, someone’s ambition will never die.”

“Alas, so many people won’t turn back until they meet the dead end. Let’s wait.”

“I think he is a man who won’t be afraid until his death day comes. Let us quietly wait and see Childe Ding use great magic to conjure up a piece of jadeite more valuable than 16 million.”

…

The onlookers ridiculed him with ironic words, and even Huang Ling, who was a little in awe of Ding Ning, couldn’t help feeling excited and began to laugh at him wantonly.

Ding Ning’s face was as peaceful as ever, and he only looked at Master Mo with very playful eyes. “I wish you could still laugh in a while.”

“Bluff!”

Master Mo sneered with disapproval, thinking, “I shouldn’t conflict with him directly. Let me do anything when our cult leader arrives.”

“A sharp tongue! You dare to gamble against Master Mo. You do wish to go hell!”

Childe You smiled coldly, and his look at Ding Ning was like looking at an idiot.

“Everyone, don’t argue with him. When all the stones are opened, he will have time to cry.”

Chide Chen stood with his hands knotted behind his back, giving his order like a general with arrogant eyes. This time it was he who had proposed to make the gamble, and his cousin also helped him invite Master Mo to help them. From now on, he would have a louder voice in the small circle accordingly.

The bloody truth was that in any circle, the able people would always have a louder voice, and it was not enough to only use family backgrounds as support.

His family background was not better than the backgrounds of Childe Liu and Childe Xiang, so he could only address them as Childe Liu and Childe Xiang to show his respect in the past.

But now the ability he had shown was enough to draw everyone’s more attention, so he had changed his address of Xiang Bolong to Bolong, and the others did not disagree. It was enough to prove that his status had risen to a higher level and become the second most important figure, on the same level as Xiang Bolong.

Childe Liu’s family background was much more powerful than the others’. Besides that, he also believed that he had excellent abilities and never allowed others to disagree with him, so now Childe Chen still didn’t dare to challenge his authority.

“Fail, fail, nothing in it.”

“Alas, this has already been expected.”

“The young man is still too naive. How can he win the gamble against Master Mo?”

…

As the first raw stone failed as expected, everyone shook their heads and sighed, already looking at the young man standing there alone with some sympathy.

“Hahaha, it seems that Childe Ding is not so lucky.”

Childe Liu was quite relieved and said with a cold smile.

Highly spirited, Xiang Bolong said sarcastically, “Perhaps, Childe Ding will have one more nickname. I think ‘The Guy Who Always Gives Money Away’ is more suitable for you.”

Hearing this, everyone roared with laughter, and even Master Mo couldn’t help showing some relief at the corner of his mouth.

“The nickname ‘The Guy Who Always Gives Money Away’ will belong to you forever. I am always very lucky. Don’t laugh so early, in case of being humiliated.”

Cool-faced, Ding Ning said calmly. The stone cutting master had opened the second stone.

Seeing that Ding Ning seemed to have something secure to rely on, Xiang Bolong had begun to doubt himself anxiously, “This guy is so calm.”

Childe Liu and his partners smiled dismissively but did not argue anymore. The one who could laugh to the end was the true winner.

“Putting on a show, humph!”

Childe You disliked Ding Ning’s carefree look. He couldn’t help sneering and saying dismissively.

“What did you say? Try to say it again?”

Ding Ning looked fiercely at him because he was not used to spoiling the idiotic youth who knew the way to flatter but had no integrity.

Childe You seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, his sneer froze on his face, and the cold sweat drops with each one the size of a soybean came out of his forehead. Wearing some humiliation and timidity, he lowered his head and did not dare to look Ding Ning in the eye.

Not until now did he remember that as a man who could easily take out a 300 million wager, Ding Ning must have a powerful family that was within his guess and should never be someone whom a decent-rich second-generation member like him could afford to offend.

When he found that Childe You yielded, Ding Ning gave a cold snort and looked coldly around. Just now, Childe Chen wanted to vent his cousin’s frustration, but when he saw Ding Ning’s eyes, he felt like a stream of coldness rushed to his head. Although his lips moved for a long time, he could not utter a word.

The others felt that they had become icy, and their hands and feet had turned cold. Even Childe Liu, who had been arrogant and domineering, had to tamely shut his mouth. They did not dare to say a single word anymore.

Master Mo’s heart beat insanely, and he madly roared in his mind. “It is him. Only a person who has such a ferocious momentum could have forced Zhai Fang to use the Curse of Life to record his traces, letting his sect avenge him.”

He wanted to summon up his courage to stare at Ding Ning’s eyes, but he really didn’t have such courage and could only close his eyes with strong humiliation, ignoring his deterrence, so as to maintain his image as a master.

And he also comforted himself inwardly, “This boy can’t be arrogant for too long. When our cult leader arrives, he will die. Why should I match strength with a man who is doomed to die?”

Satisfied, Ding Ning withdrew his look. It was not that he wanted to suppress these people with his power, but that he really didn’t want to hear the sarcasm of these people. He was sure to win the game, so why should he be vexed by these people’s sarcasm?

“Alas, fail, fail again.”

“I knew it would be like this. If one gambles ten times, he will lose nine times. The guy is no match for Master Mo.”

“Over, this man is sure to lose. Even if there were jadeite in the last stone, he would not have the chance to win.”

“Humph, the chance to win? No f*cking chance. He is sure to lose.”

“Huh, don’t draw such an overconfident conclusion. Who knows if there is the glass type or ice type in the last stone?”

“You are dreaming. The glass type? D*mn, if the glass type can be taken out, I will eat the raw stone.”

“Remember what you said.”

“Of course, it is what I said. I will keep my word.”
