"Hey? Master Bai, do you want to make a bet with me?"

"In that case, Master Bai, what should we bet on? It would be meaningless if there were no stakes."

Wu Qiong asked nonchalantly, appearing very confident that he could defeat Bai Chu.

At this moment, Bai Chu's face was gloomy. He looked at him viciously and said, "The bet between us is simple. If I lose, I will quit gambling on stones and never gamble on stones again. I will never appear in such an occasion again."

Originally, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but since this guy is so cruel, then don't blame him.

He looked at Bai Chu and asked with interest: "What about me?"

Hearing this, Bai Chu sneered and continued, "If you lose, you will immediately kneel on the ground and kowtow to me three times. While kowtowing, you must also admit that you are wrong. From now on, you will not be allowed to appear in my place."

After Bai Chu finished talking about the punishment, everyone was in an uproar.

But Wu Qiong didn't seem to be panicked at all. He just smiled and nodded and said:

"Okay, but I want to add one more thing. Since I have to kowtow if I lose, I must disappear wherever you are. Then the punishment for your loss is similar. So I want to add one more thing, that is, you must also kowtow to me and admit your mistake if you lose."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chu's face turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect that this additional condition would require him to kowtow.

According to my age, I could be this guy's biological father. It seems that he is definitely pushing me into a dead end.

Bai Chu thought about it, but still nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Sure!!!"

This time, he absolutely didn't believe that he would lose. It was entirely because this guy had guessed it right before.

The conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of everyone present. Listening to the bet between the two, everyone also became interested. Even those who were about to leave came back again when they heard about the bet.

"I didn't expect the bet to be so big..."

"Yes, no matter which side wins, the other side will definitely be too embarrassed to stay, especially Master Bai. If Master Bai wins, it will be purely based on seniority to defeat a young man of the younger generation. If he loses to this young man, he really won't be able to stay in this circle anymore."

"Yes, yes, with Master Bai's status, there is no need to make this bet..."

"Now that the bet is set, let's see who wins..."

“........................”

At this time, people began to discuss it crazily, and what happened here was quickly spread.

More and more people are coming here. They all want to see this rare stone gambling battle and want to know who the winner will be.

"For the sake of fairness in this gambling on stones, we would like to ask Chairman Wu of the Gambling Stone Association to come and help us witness it."

Bai Chu saw a familiar face among the crowd, and this person was Wu Shouyi, the president of the Gambling Stone Association.

Hearing Bai Chu calling his name, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, but still walked over helplessly.

As a stock snob like Bai Chu, he really didn't want to get involved. What if in the end the two of them were evenly matched and it was hard to tell who would win? Then who should he judge as the winner?

.......................

He was helpless, but since he had been called, Wu Shouyi still stood up.

At this moment, as the president of the Jiangnan City Gambling Stone Association, he should really stand up.

"Well, since you all think highly of me, I will be the referee for this bet."

Wu Shouyi stood out from the crowd, bowed and said with a smile.

"I wonder if this little brother has any opinions?"

Wu Shouyi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to look at Wu Qiong beside him.

Hearing this, Wu Qiong shook his head indifferently, because in his opinion, he was sure to win this battle and would not lose at all.

So he doesn't care who the referee of this bet is.

"Well, since both of you have no objections, let me announce the rules of this bet."

Wu Shouyi said this and walked to the front of the crowd. He glanced around the warehouse and continued:

"This time, our raw materials are in this warehouse. You all have one and a half hours to select the jadeite rough stones you like."

“When the time is up or it has been chosen in advance, the order of which side will open the stone is determined by flipping a coin.”

"The one with the largest water species wins, and vice versa, the one with the rarest water species wins."

"I will not judge the value of your stones. I will leave it to the friends present to decide."

After a while, Wu Shouyi finished explaining the rules of the gambling game. Everyone present nodded in satisfaction, because they thought that the rules were fair and there was no possibility of cheating or relationships.

Therefore, winning depends entirely on the strength of both of them.

............................

On the other side, Lao Lu walked up to Liu Ruoyun with a dusty face. He said with great shame:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I......"

Lao Lu really didn't know how to continue, because this was too embarrassing and he had let down Liu Ruoyun's trust and his own abilities.

Liu Ruoyun looked at him and spoke slowly.

"Didn't we agree on this at the beginning?"

"You have three chances to make a mistake. If you don't make it three times, it will be considered a failure. Do you lose confidence after failing the first time?"

"If that's the case, then leave!"

After listening to Liu Ruoyun's words, Lao Lu felt even more ashamed. Finally, he thought about it and nodded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will definitely not fail next time!"

Lao Lu raised his head again and said to Liu Ruoyun with assurance.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoyun nodded.

"Then Mr. Liu, I will go and pick out new stones."

After saying that, Lao Lu walked towards the warehouse again.

Although Bai Chu and Wu Qiong were competing at the moment, it did not affect other people's choice of stones at all.

"Okay, I declare... the game begins!!!"

As soon as Wu Shouyi gave the order, the competition between the two was officially announced to begin.

People were excitedly cheering for Bai Chu because they all believed that Master Bai would never lose.

Wu Qiong looked at the crowd around him, just smiled faintly, and then turned around to look for his stone.

This time Bai Chu was very serious. He shone the light on a piece of hand for a long time, and finally left with a look of disappointment on his face.

Because he doesn't want to win over the opponent with a slight advantage, but to win over the opponent in a way that makes the opponent despair.

So, this time Bai Chu searched very carefully and seriously.
