Chapter 294: Chapter 0294: All Garbage

Involved in such a big gambling game, the person in charge of the Gambling Stone Field, Boss Xu, was naturally alarmed and came over to see the two confronting groups, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.

The Tang Family, the Shen Family, neither was an existence he could afford to offend, which meant, no matter which side lost, there were likely to be no good outcomes for him!

But as a minor figure like him, he simply could not sway the thoughts of those two people. Therefore, all he could do was to arrange the gambling game as well as possible.

Soon, all the stones with good appearances at the Quarry were gathered and piled together to form a small hill.

The gambling did not start directly but was delayed for ten minutes. It seemed Shen Congwen was contacting someone to come over.

At this moment, Tang Xin just noticed Huo Tianqian not far away, and with a smile, she waved to him: "Yo, Master Huo, how come you’re back again?"

With Tang Xin’s status, she naturally didn’t need to respect Huo Tianqian as Master Huo; she did so purely for amusement. Although she wasn’t from the Ancient Martial World, due to the close relationship between the Tang Sect and the Tang Family, she was privy to some information.

Faced with Tang Xin’s remark, Huo Tianqian didn’t know how to respond, fortunately, Chu Ge stepped forward at this moment and stretched out his hand: "Miss Tang Xin I presume? I am surnamed Chu, first name Chu Ge, an expert in gambling on stones."

"An expert in gambling on stones?" Tang Xin chuckled, seemingly surprised that there was such an expert. Nevertheless, Chu Ge’s words undoubtedly interested her, so she extended her hand and shook hands with Chu Ge: "Since you know my name, you must also be aware of my identity; there’s no need for me to introduce myself."

A woman in casual attire had been following behind Tang Xin the whole time, now staring at Chu Ge with a wary look, because she sensed a very dangerous aura from this man.

Chu Ge, of course, had long noticed the woman’s gaze but ignored it. After all, a minor character who had just touched the threshold of Postnatal stage but had not truly entered it didn’t have the credentials to be taken seriously by him.

"Right, you just said you’re an expert in gambling stones?" After a moment of silence, Tang Xin suddenly asked curiously.

"Correct." Chu Ge smiled: "I’ve studied gambling stones for decades. In this regard, I can certainly claim to be a rare master!"

Of course, that was just Chu Ge boasting, but he suddenly thought of a good approach to get close to Tang Xin.

He wasn’t afraid to confront the Tang Family or Tang Sect directly, but Chu Ge’s primary mission this time wasn’t to avenge Huo Tianqian, but to obtain the Earth Ganoderma.

Huo Tianqian’s previous actions in Shanghai already alerted the other party that Earth Ganoderma was what he desired. If they were pushed into a corner and decided to destroy the Earth Ganoderma in a scorched-earth tactic, then Chu Ge would truly have nowhere to cry.

It is known that modern society is lacking in Spiritual Energy, and Earth Ganoderma, even in ancient times, was considered a rare treasure. This means, if he missed this one, he could only leave it to luck to find another in the future!

Getting close to Tang Xin and winning her favor and trust was undoubtedly a good starting point.

But at this moment, Tang Xin snickered and looked at Chu Ge: "Blow your own trumpet, will you? You look like you’re barely past twenty, researched gambling stones for decades? You’re not going to tell me you’ve been doing it since you were in the womb, are you?"

After saying this, she herself seemed to find it funny, covering her mouth and giggling.

However, Chu Ge was not at all phased, looking at Tang Xin he said: "Alright, researching for decades was a bluff, but indeed, I can be considered an expert in the area of gambling stones. Didn’t you arrange a gambling stone deal? Take me with you, and I can guarantee you’ll win!"

Chu Ge spoke with utmost confidence, no hint of jest on his face.

Tang Xin frowned, looking at Chu Ge half-believing, half-doubtful: "You... really can gamble on stones?"

"Isn’t a donkey’s shadow revealed by walking it?" Chu Ge disregarded Tang Xin’s doubtful gaze and said indifferently.

"Fine, I hope you’re as capable as you claim, otherwise, when Miss Tang’s temper rises, she won’t reason whether one is innocent or not!" Tang Xin snorted coldly, then spoke to Boss Xu in the distance: "Xiao Xu, bring over those stones I picked out just now."

"Xiao Xu?" Chu Ge looked at Boss Xu, who was almost fifty with half of his hair white, with a curious expression on his face.

Nevertheless, Boss Xu showed no abnormality in his demeanor, obviously used to being addressed this way. He carefully placed a package on the ground and then bowed to Tang Xin: "Miss Tang, is there anything else you require?"

"No, that’s all." Tang Xin waved her hand impatiently: "Go do your tasks."

"Yes!" Boss Xu didn’t dare delay and quickly left the place.

"Here..." Tang Xin took out the stones from the package one by one and laid them on the ground.

The stones looked quite good, the largest about the size of a human head, the smallest about the size of a fist. Each looked plump and lustrous, even a few of them had mysterious patterns on them.

"You said you are an expert in gambling stones, right? Then tell Miss Tang, out of these five stones, which ones have jade and which don’t?"

Tang Xin stood with hands on her hips in front of Chu Ge, appearing as though she faced a swindler about to be exposed.

"Mr. Chu..." Huo Tianqian said softly from behind.

"Don’t worry." Chu Ge gestured to cut off his words, then squatted down, let his fingers slide over each of the five stones, and slightly closed his eyes.

Seeing Chu Ge’s action, Tang Xin knew he was an outsider. Disappointment filled her big eyes and also a surge of anger.

Such nerve, to dare to trick her!

However, just as Tang Xin couldn’t hold back and was about to explode, Chu Ge suddenly stood up and said softly to her: "These five stones are waste, there’s nothing inside them."

He had felt it when he touched them; there was no reaction from the five stones, merely ordinary rocks.

Yet, hearing this, Tang Xin’s eyes widened in shock, and even the female bodyguard behind her showed a disdainful look.

Tang Xin might not be a connoisseur, but she had been mingling in the Gambling Stone Field for several years and had at least some discernment.

These five stones, which she had carefully selected and purchased, how could they all be waste?

An anxious look also appeared on Huo Tianqian’s face. Given that the young lady’s capricious nature, when her fiery temper flared, she didn’t care what background the other person had.

"Why don’t you open them and see if they’re waste or not?"
