Chapter 907: Chapter 906: Fortune Favors the Bold
Looking at Wufu’s innocent yet particularly arrogant demeanor, those present really felt like punching him.
"Master Gui, I wasn’t wrong, was I?" Wufu looked at Master Gui and said, "At the gambling table, there’s no room for kinship. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t play."
"You!" The young man’s face darkened; this little brat.
Wufu glanced at the hourglass again and exclaimed, "Oh my, it’s getting late. The ladies at the Flower Tower should be coming out to entertain customers. Anyone making the pretty sisters wait is a sinner. I’m going all in."
The crowd first twitched their mouths, then paused slightly. What the heck is ’all in’?
"All in!" Wufu pushed all his chips forward.
The young man’s eyes widened. How could he follow this?
Wufu smiled broadly, thankful that this was a fake all-in, not needing to reveal the hole cards. It was just a contest of who had more money. If the real cards were revealed and the opponent had a good hand while his was bad, then it would really be a joke.
Master Gui watched, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, his hand touching the large ring on his other thumb. It seemed like he had discovered something amiss.
He glanced at Wufu, finding him interesting.
The young man’s face turned pale as he sat down heavily on a chair, looking towards Lin Gonyun.
Lin Gonyun’s expression was also a bit unpleasant, casting an unfriendly glance at Wufu.
Wufu wasn’t afraid of him at all, just looked at the young man and said, "So, young master, are you in or out? Hurry up."
The young man glared at her, angrily stood up, and said, "Let’s go!"
With that, he kicked the chair over and stormed out, murder in his eyes, while Lin Gonyun quickly gathered up the few remaining chips on the table and followed.
The other players also felt that it was about time to leave and proposed their departure.
In the blink of an eye, only Wufu and Master Gui were left at the large card table.
"Is this all mine?" Wufu laughed, gathering up the heap of things.
"Young Master Xiao Wu has some guts." Master Gui clapped his hands and said, "Aren’t you afraid that if someone had the confidence, they’d raise against you? If so, the tens of thousands you added before...
"He’s the one who’s timid. Honestly, how much you add doesn’t matter, as long as you beat the opponent, it’s all yours in the end. What’s there to be afraid of? If he raised, I’d just have to borrow money from you to keep going, Master Gui!" Wufu said, "The brave eat their fill—isn’t that how it goes?"
"Seems like I’ll have to revise my rules," Master Gui raised an eyebrow and said.
Wufu laughed and said, "Actually, this way of playing isn’t bad, but it’s not suitable for gambling stones. Who knows who thought of spending money like this!"
Master Gui’s brow furrowed and he asked, "So what is it suitable for?"
"I have a better way to play," Wufu looked at him and said, "But why should I tell you, Master Gui?"
Master Gui was slightly stunned, making a rare joke, "Just because we can go drink flower wine together?"
Wufu laughed heartily, "That’s possible."
She saw the Man in Blue bring over the stone and immediately ignored the silver notes in front of her, rushing to him and saying, "Give it to me, I’ll open it."
The Man in Blue was taken aback, looked at Master Gui, and seeing him nod, put the raw stone back on the table.
Wufu picked up the tools, examined it carefully, and cut along the grain. A vibrant purplish-red color appeared before her eyes, startling her.
"Young Master Xiao Wu, what luck!" Master Gui stood aside and remarked.
Wufu chuckled, "Indeed good luck. I thought it was just ordinary blue chalcedony, didn’t expect it to be Purple Jade."
It’s said that the formation of purple chalcedony and blue chalcedony is quite similar, and she really thought it was blue, never expected it to be Purple Jade.
Wufu laughed happily. Today’s harvest wasn’t bad. Heaven finally compensated her for her rough protagonist experience, instead of attacks or various natural disasters.
