The person who ran the gambling den was quite worried, as not a single person had chosen to participate!
How can he continue this gamble?!
Just as he was worrying, a pair of slender, fair hands with distinct knuckles suddenly came into his view!
Anyway, he had a wad of silver notes tucked into his hand!
He placed the silver note on the one that could hold it!
The man immediately beamed with joy, thinking to himself, "Where did this sucker come from? He actually chose [the one who can do it]!" But when he looked up, he exclaimed in surprise, "My God! Young Master Quan!"
His exclamation quickly drew the attention of the people, who all turned to look at the source of the sound!
Everyone was very surprised!
"My God, look, it really is Young Master Quan."
"Young Master Quan is still so handsome!"
"If I could marry him, even as a concubine, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"
Some people from Mianzhou nearby, not understanding their strong reaction, couldn't help but ask, "Who is this young master Quan you're talking about? How could he be such a fool? I think he's the only one who can make such a choice! Could it be that he was seduced by that young lady's beauty?"
The people of Changzhou were immediately displeased upon hearing this!
How can you talk like that?
"You're obviously from out of town. You don't even know Quan Jinyu, Young Master Quan!"
"In Changzhou, you may not know Prince Kang, but you can't not know Young Master Quan!"
"That's the most powerful family in Changzhou, and even in the entire Jing Kingdom!"
"At the height of their power, their family produced several prime ministers!"
"Later, the emperor became so incompetent that the people suffered greatly, so the Quan family gave away all their wealth in order to ensure the people's well-being!"
"However, their rate of spending money could not keep up with the rate at which the emperor raised taxes. And Prime Minister Quan was beheaded by that foolish emperor for speaking up for the people. They were completely disillusioned with the royal family, so they returned to their ancestral homeland, Changzhou!"
"What a pity! If he had a wise ruler, Young Master Quan would have achieved great things!"
"After the Quan family returned, there were no good officials in the entire court who were wholeheartedly devoted to serving the people!"
"However, what is comforting is that many officials in Changzhou are members of the Quan family, which is why we are able to live quite well under the rule of a stingy prince like Prince Kang!"
After hearing the Quan family's history, the man from Mianzhou couldn't help but sigh.
"In that case, Young Master Quan is indeed a bit pitiful. He's betting all this money on Neng! Just so he can send money to everyone through the reforms!"
"What a kind person!"
"What a pity, bad luck, didn't meet any good people!"
Quan Jinyu listened to their discussion without any change in expression.
Extremely arrogant and aloof, he walked out under the escort of his clansmen!
But his heart was bleeding madly!
He didn't know why, but when he saw the woman above, he felt something was wrong with him, and for some inexplicable reason, he trusted her completely!
This seems to be the token they were talking about, as their clan elders said!
But this kind of feeling usually appears in the monarchs of past dynasties. They haven't felt it for a long time, but now it has appeared in a little girl!
Something doesn't seem right!
And that was all the wealth he had left behind!
If this little girl really can't succeed in praying for rain, then he'll probably be beaten to death by his family when he gets back!
Now, surrounded by onlookers, he couldn't show any sign of heartache. He could only walk forward with a haughty and arrogant demeanor.
I walked all the way to the front, wanting to get a good look at the woman's figure and carefully feel whether it was the legendary token's resonance!
Just as he squeezed to the front, he suddenly made eye contact with a burly man next to the woman!
He felt that this man was somewhat familiar, and he had a very special feeling about him!
Looking at the commotion below, Wu Ling's eyes met those of the man who had started it. He felt that the man looked somewhat familiar!
According to the people below, this person's name is Quan Jinyu!
A guess immediately formed in my mind!
However, according to the older generation, the surnames of each member of their families are related to the characteristics of their families. For example, their family's surname is Wu, so most of them are in good health and are good candidates for learning martial arts!
If someone's surname is Quan, they should be of royal or noble birth, so how could they be living in such a small place!
He thought and thought, either this person had no connection with the Quan family, or the Quan family had fallen on hard times!
He suddenly felt a little sorry for Lin Ru; it seemed he'd have to support another batch of people.
Lin Ru was so proud that she didn't know her wallet was being threatened. She was still kneeling on the ground, praying for rain with all her might!
Seeing that the people below were getting more and more impatient, she knew the time had come, so she used a rain-summoning talisman! But it didn't seem to have any effect after she used it!
The sun was still scorching hot. If she hadn't used her spiritual power and those pills to temper her body, she probably would have fainted from the heat long ago!
And the sky was completely cloudless!
This made her feel a little uncertain!
She realized she had placed far too much faith in what the system gave her! She hadn't questioned it at all!
Originally, whenever she had too much hatred, it would cause her to develop inner demons and have bloodthirsty thoughts in her mind!
If the things this system provides are no longer useful, she might have to consider how to erase this hatred system from her mind!
As soon as she had this thought, she felt a sharp pain in her head!
The pain was so intense, it felt like my brain was about to explode!
Wu Ling immediately noticed her unusual behavior and became very anxious. He took a step forward, but was stopped by something furry under his feet!
Xiaoyue bared its teeth at him, as if to say, "Don't disturb your master!"
Wu Ling finally came to his senses! He knew what serious consequences would result if the rainmaking failed this time. If his recklessness caused the clan leader to fail, he would probably be unable to protect the clan leader anymore!
He could only reluctantly withdraw his leg, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all!
Meanwhile, the crowd below also noticed that something was wrong with the goddess above!
Quan Jinyu's eyes were filled with worry, and he felt a sense of panic in his heart!
It's a feeling I've never had before in my life!
His eyes were fixed on the goddess kneeling on the high platform!
He silently prayed: "God! Whoever she is! Please open your eyes! Send rain! All the people are starving! Please give them a way to survive! God, send rain!"
In fact, he wasn't the only one who prayed this way; many ordinary people were thinking the same thing!
