Chapter 150: 150 Chapter Well then I’ll bet with you!_1

"You think I want to gamble just because you want to? I gamble on stones for the mood, not for the money. Competing for superiority isn’t interesting to me."

In Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, sons of grand estates like Sun Yiran, although endowed with astonishing talents or abilities in certain aspects, have never been through the ravages and honing of life. They always think their face is more important than the sky, and they don’t know how to judge the situation or be tolerant.

A tree that stands out in the forest is often destroyed by the wind.

With this thought as a warning, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and motioned for Han Shuying and Zhang Min to prepare to leave.

Han Shuying had already finished the procedures with Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou. The money had been transferred into her account, and she had also arranged a time to select jewelry. Naturally, she didn’t hesitate and followed behind.

Zhang Min, or Min, didn’t have any issues either; she could leave on a whim.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng turning his head to leave, Sun Yiran was stunned, then his eyes reddened.

He thought that Bai Xiaosheng disdained to compete with him.

"Stop them!" Sun Yiran ordered with a dark face.

Zhang Xiaoqiu and Chen Xue had already made it to the side. They often frequented this market and knew some people, and immediately called a few to block Bai Xiaosheng and his group.

"Sir Ran said, you have to compete with him—one match! If you don’t, don’t think about leaving!" Zhang Xiaoqiu said coldly.

"Exactly!" Chen Xue’s eyes also showed a cold glint.

Behind them, others who had come to help were also clamoring.

Bai Xiaosheng looked around and was surprised to find that Scarface was among them, shouting the loudest.

"You’re trying to play bully with us?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

If it really came to fighting, he wasn’t afraid. Hadn’t he dealt with Mrs. Pang’s three brothers, making them completely submissive? The bunch in front of him, though many, were just blusterers who would immediately lose heart if a couple of them were knocked down.

"What should we do?" Zhang Min was by Bai Xiaosheng’s side, somewhat flustered.

Just now, Min had quietly tugged at her, trying to stand aside to keep distance from Bai Xiaosheng and avoid any trouble, but Zhang Min still stubbornly stood by Bai Xiaosheng’s side.

"They’re too arrogant. Is this a bandit’s den or what? Is there no one to enforce justice?" Han Shuying said angrily, turning her head to look for Xie Youxin and Boss Zhou, who had just treated them with eager hospitality. These two were old-timers in the circle, of a certain age, and knew many people; surely they could say something.

However, Han Shuying looked around and didn’t see a trace of these two old men.

Upon looking again, she realized that at some point they had moved away from this area and gone to the witness seats, chatting with a group of bosses, totally indifferent to the situation here, pretending to be unaware.

And Sun Yiran’s grandfather occasionally glanced over here, also chatting and laughing with the bosses.

This was simply outright, blatant protection!

Han Shuying couldn’t help but want to rush over.

Bai Xiaosheng grabbed her arm.

"Do you really want to gamble with me?" Bai Xiaosheng locked eyes with Sun Yiran, seeing nothing but obsession and ferocity.

"Then I’ll gamble with you!"

Bai Xiaosheng turned back, walked past Sun Yiran, and paused briefly beside him to say coldly, "If you lose, your jade will belong to me, and you will get out of this circle!"

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Bai Xiaosheng who had never considered himself a magnanimous person.

You bully me, don’t blame me for being impolite!

"Good, compete with him, win against him!" Han Shuying and Zhang Min also glared hard at Sun Yiran, cheering and encouraging Bai Xiaosheng.

"There’s gonna be a show, Sir Ran is going to gamble on stones with that guy!"

"The winner takes the opponent’s stones!"

"The loser will never enter Yushi City again!"

"This is so thrilling, is there a pot where we can place our bets too? Let’s bet on the outcome!"

The onlookers discussed excitedly, and some even wanted to place bets on the match.

However, all this had no impact on Bai Xiaosheng and Sun Yiran; they had already entered the center of the field, starting to walk around the table, divining stone.

The previously chatty witnesses—those business owners—were now sitting up straight, their eyes unblinking as they fixated on the two people in the middle of the room.

To be fair, almost all of them believed that the winner would be none other than Sun Yiran.

Just now, Sun Yiran couldn’t beat Bai Xiaosheng due to a moment of luck.

But how could anyone be so lucky as to hit big twice in a short period of time?

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t possibly win; it was a foregone conclusion that Sun Yiran would be the victor.

At that moment, what these business owners were more concerned about was what kind of stone Sun Yiran would pick out!

Would he pick out another piece of Ice-type Imperial Green?

Boss Zhou stretched his neck out, rubbing his hands together in deep concentration; just now, he and Xie Youxin had partnered up to acquire that top-quality stone. Although they made a hefty profit, it was not a feast enjoyed alone, which left him somewhat dissatisfied.

If another treasure were unveiled, he would undoubtedly make his move first!

Xie Youxin stealthily glanced at Boss Zhou, harboring the same thoughts.

In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them; all the Jade Stone Shop owners present were holding back their eagerness.

They had let the Xie and Zhou surnames take the lead just now, but this time, if another high-quality stone emerged, they would definitely scramble for it. Even if they couldn’t get their hands on it, they would drive up the price!

"Do you think Bai can win this time?" Zhang Min asked with some concern.

"Maybe." Han Shuying murmured.

She had no confidence herself, but the surrounding discussions overwhelmingly supported Sun Yiran; Bai Xiaosheng had no one cheering for him, which was a bit pitiful.

"You all might as well save it, Sir Ran has definitely won!" Chen Xue scoffed on the side.

"Don’t speak so absolutely!" Han Shuying retorted with a cold huff.

"Beauty, Xue is right. Sir Ran has been playing with jade stones since he was eight, and under Old Mr. Sun’s instruction, he has never been wrong when divining a stone with his bare hands. He may have lost to luck this time, but it was only that once." Zhang Xiaoqiu stood beside Han Shuying, his eyes roving over her, "After losing the bet this time, he’ll no longer be able to come into this circle. But no worries, I, Zhang Xiaoqiu, am quite well-known here; if you want to come, just look for me."

Zhang Xiaoqiu’s smile was lecherous.

"I’ve learned karate, for fending off perverts. Do you know what happened to the last person who looked at me like that?" Han Shuying glanced at him, her gaze icy cold.

Zhang Xiaoqiu, chilled by her gaze, couldn’t help but ask, "Did you fracture his bone?"

Women who had practiced self-defense techniques were known for their ferocity; he had experienced it firsthand.

"Not a fracture, since there were no bones there." Han Shuying muttered.

Zhang Xiaoqiu’s complexion changed, and he discreetly increased the distance between them.

On the stage.

Sun Yiran was incredibly serious, scrutinizing each stone with rapt attention. There were stones priced at hundreds of thousands, even millions, that he had looked over but not chosen.

This time, the standard for victory was the highest value per unit. Those large, highly-priced stones, when cut, had to have their value averaged by weight, which didn’t necessarily give an advantage.

Sun Yiran walked back and forth, finally pausing in front of a raw stone, examining it repeatedly, his eyes gradually brightening!

This is the one!

Priced at three hundred thousand!

With his stone chosen, Sun Yiran was full of confidence, smug as he looked back at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Have you chosen yet? We’re all waiting for you," Bai Xiaosheng said with composure and a hint of annoyance, standing there before a half-meter tall large stone block.

Choosing a large one, huh? Sun Yiran sneered.

"Let’s start cutting the stone if you’ve made your choice," he said.

"Excuse me, sir, please step aside; we need to move this block over there," a staff member hurried over to Bai Xiaosheng’s side, eyeing the half-meter tall behemoth.

"Move?" Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but laugh, "No need; just carrying it over will do."

He raised his hand, cradling a raw stone in his palm.

Priced at ten thousand.
