Chapter 280 Since You Don’t Want It, Then I Don’t Want It Either
Seeing these people fighting in a group, Yu Youning was stunned by the scene.
"Mother, what are they fighting about? Are they fighting over frogs?"
What is there to steal from a toad?
Although Yu Youning didn't finish her words, Yu Tingwan had already expressed her unspoken meaning, "Youning, this is not a toad, it's a golden toad. Look, it spits out gold!"
Only then did Yu Youning take a closer look.
Sure enough, this is exactly the same golden toad I had seen in a book before.
When the golden toad saw Yu Youning looking at it with his eyes wide open, he jumped even more happily and jumped directly towards Yu Youning, wishing he could jump right onto Yu Youning.
Seeing Yu Youning step back, the golden toad stopped and looked at Yu Youning with its eyes, but kept spitting out gold from its mouth.
After a while, a small pile had formed in front of it.
Looking at the gold, Yu Youning became interested.
The gold we saw in the past was either gold ingots or gold bars.
I have never seen small pieces of gold like this.
Piled together like this, they all sparkle with golden light in this dim mine, making it impossible to look away.
Yu Youning stared at the gold and walked forward at the same time.
Before she knew it, she had squatted down in front of the golden toad.
Carefully picking up a piece of gold and examining it carefully, Yu Youning said, "There's no saliva on it!"
Yu Tingwan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Even Nangong Meng started laughing when she heard this.
Huo Qingchen had been extremely curious and anxious for a long time. Seeing this, he immediately came over and said, "Youning, can you let me see it too?"
Yu Youning handed the gold in his hand to Huo Qingchen.
Huo Qingchen not only took a look at it, but also took a bite of it, "It is indeed gold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qingchen noticed that the looks people gave him seemed to become a little complicated.
Especially when her eyes fell on his mouth, the look became even more meaningful.
Huo Qingchen looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Chu Huaixu shook his head. "Nothing. Now we should be able to determine what the treasure mentioned on the treasure map is."
It’s not a gold mine, but the golden toad in front of you.
Gold mines still need to be mined and smelted.
But as long as there is a golden toad, you can get gold continuously.
If this isn’t treasure, what is?
Being stared at by Chu Huaixu, the golden toad, which was originally spitting out gold happily, suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Huaixu with its big eyes.
There was even a hint of vigilance in its golden eyes.
Being stared at by a golden toad like this, Chu Huaixu inexplicably felt like laughing.
He was just stating the facts, why was the golden toad staring at him like that?
Could it be that the golden toad thought that he would want to take it for himself?
Chu Huaixu was about to explain when the people fighting over there finally stopped.
After a fierce fight, many people were injured, their clothes and hair were disheveled, they were all panting, and their eyes were fierce.
Although they stopped, they still looked at each other with vigilance.
It seems that if something goes wrong, they will rush forward immediately.
Tuoba Ruoli looked at the guards from Xiliang, and saw that they were unable to get rid of this group of people from the martial arts world. His eyes were full of displeasure, and he kept cursing them as useless in his heart.
If he can't even deal with these gangsters, how can he snatch the Golden Toad from Yu Youning and the others?
Since force doesn't work, we have to find another way!
Tuoba Ruoli's eyes swept over everyone one by one before she spoke softly.
"We all came here with a treasure map. Now that we're all here and have seen the golden toad, we should compete fairly to see who gets the golden toad in the end."
Tuoba Ruoli said this, of course, not for fair competition, but to make these people in the martial arts world and the Nangong family become opponents of Yu Youning and others.
Only by muddying the waters thoroughly will she have a chance to take the golden toad for herself.
When the time comes, I don’t believe that Chu Huaixu won’t come to please her!
Tuoba Ruoli had good thoughts in his mind, and even had a smug expression on his face.
But the reality was that things did not develop in the direction she had imagined.
Nangong Meng was the first to speak, "I'm here to watch the fun. It's enough for me to see the excitement. I don't want the golden toad, and I won't steal it."
Hearing Nangong Meng's words, Tuoba Ruoli's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Nangong Meng must have done it on purpose!
Shangguan Xianrui sneered. "You don't want it, and I won't steal it. You sound so righteous, but you're just trying to sell it for a good price. The Nangong family is considered a prominent family, and the eldest daughter of the Nangong family is so servile in front of the people of Penglai Island. It's really embarrassing for the Nangong family! I wonder what they will say about you when this gets back to the Nangong family!"
Despite being mocked by Shangguan Xianrui, Nangong Meng's expression did not change much.
"No matter what decision I make, the Nangong family won't have any objections." Nangong Meng said with a smile, "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself. You and I are very different!"
Shangguan Xianrui has an older brother who is the treasure and beloved of the Shangguan family.
Over the years, Shangguan Xianrui has been trying to do everything better. She has been involved in the management and development of the Shangguan family since she was ten years old, and it has been several years now.
If you do it well, it's as it should be.
But if she didn't do well, she would definitely be scolded by her parents and other elders in the family, and also ridiculed by her brother.
Perhaps it is because she has been in this kind of environment for so many years, which has caused Shangguan Xianrui's personality to become more and more paranoid and her actions to become more and more radical.
Although in some ways, Shangguan Xianrui is really pitiful.
However, Shangguan Xianrui's pity was not caused by her, and she would not and could not embarrass herself because of Shangguan Xianrui's pity.
At a time like now when the confrontation is tit-for-tat, there is no possibility of showing any mercy. Naturally, you will stab the other party where it hurts the most.
Nangong Meng was thinking about this when she saw Shangguan Xianrui's eyes filled with anger.
"Nangong Meng, I advise you not to be too proud!" Shangguan Xianrui gritted her teeth and said, "It's still uncertain who will win the golden toad!"
As she said this, Shangguan Xianrui also looked at the people from the martial arts world beside her.
Don’t think that these people protected Yu Youning, Nangong Meng and others before, but that was because they hadn’t found the treasure yet.
Now that we have seen the golden toad, who wouldn’t want to take it for themselves?
Will these people still follow Yu Youning and the others' lead?
It seemed that he was answering Shangguan Xianrui's questions. Shangguan Xianrui had just finished speaking when a tall and strong man next to her spoke in a muffled voice.
"I never said I wanted the golden toad!"
Not wanting to be left behind, another person also spoke up, "I never said I wanted the golden toad!"
"If you don't want it, then I don't want it either!"
"And me!"
"I don't want it either!"
......
With so many people cheering together, the sound was deafening.
Shangguan Xianrui heard what these people said and subconsciously looked over at them, "What do you mean by this?"
This is a golden toad!
They actually said they didn't want it?
Is he crazy?
"What do you mean? Wasn't what we just said clear enough?"
"Miss Yu, we might have just fallen to our death like those people under your command. We almost lost our lives, so why would we need treasure!"
"Compared to treasure, I still prefer my own life."
The righteous words spoken by the group of people shocked Shangguan Xianrui into speechlessness.
Even Tuoba Ruoli was shocked.
She wanted to sow discord between them and Yu Youning, but they just gave up on their own?
These people... must have done it on purpose!
Shangguan Xianrui was furious, but she still glared, "Even if you voluntarily give up, we still have to compete fairly with the Golden Toad—"
Before Shangguan Xianrui could finish her words, someone rudely interrupted her.
"Competition is bullshit!"
"I just said it, this is Dayong!"
"Whether it's this gold mine, the things in it, or this golden toad, they all belong to Dayong! You're not even from Dayong, how dare you talk about fair competition?"
"This isn't fair competition. This is pure shamelessness! You're trying to steal the treasures belonging to Dayong with such shamelessness! You're simply dreaming!"
"If you dare to rob us, don't blame us for being rude!"
A group of gangsters, each one louder than the other, kept shouting, clearly showing their attitude.
Seeing this, Tuoba Ruoli and Shangguan Xianrui were so angry that their faces turned pale.
Shangguan Xianrui simply ignored these people in the martial arts world and only looked at Yu Youning. "Little girl surnamed Yu, what do you think? Shouldn't we compete fairly?"
Nangong Meng sneered, "Shangguan Xianrui, do you still have any shame? You actually said such things to a little girl! Why didn't you ask me? Why didn't you ask Sister Tingwan? You are pretending to be ignorant and deliberately bullying the little ones!"
"Nangong Meng!" Shangguan Xianrui roared, "Are you done yet?! I'm not talking to you, why are you butting in?"
Tuoba Ruoli took a step forward and looked straight at Yu Youning, "Yu Youning, what do you say? Do you want to compete with me fairly?"
Tuoba Ruoli and Yu Youning are the same age, so there is no problem with her saying this.
Yu Youning tilted his head, "How are you going to compete?"
This is what it means to promise!
Tuoba Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yu Youning really doesn't agree, today will be really difficult.
But Yu Youning agreed!
It seems that Yu Youning is very confident!
Tuoba Ruoli smiled slightly, "You and I will stand on both sides and let the golden toad choose for itself. The golden toad will recognize its master."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the eyes of those people in the martial arts world looking at Tuoba Ruoli change, even Shangguan Xianrui's eyes looking at Tuoba Ruoli changed.
