Chapter 297: Chapter 0297: Make You Regret

Upon hearing Chu Ge’s words, Tang Xin chuckled, "So you’re just like those other men who want to get close to me, the only difference being that you’re upfront about it."

Tang Xin picked a comfortable position to sit in, her fair, long legs crossed and blatantly displayed in front of Chu Ge.

Yet, Chu Ge’s gaze remained clear, unswayed by her beauty.

A sense of surprise arose in Tang Xin’s heart. It was rare for men not to be moved by her, but, a man whom she had never met before, standing up for her dignity—either this person naturally had a gentleman’s style, or... his schemes ran very deep.

"My favor isn’t so easily sought."

Chu Ge saw through her inner distrust of him and maintained a light smile on his face, "I don’t think it’s a losing transaction; Lady Tang, you will agree."

"Oh?" Tang Xin expressed her surprise, "You’re so sure about that?"

As Chu Ge shrugged, intending to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure quickly approaching. Boss Xu carried a set of Purple Sand Green Pot, respectfully smiling, "Sir, this is Huading Yunwu Tea brewed with Snow Mountain Spring Water, please have a taste."

"You actually know that the best tea of Su City needs to be soaked in Snow Mountain Spring Water?" Tang Xin’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she glanced at Boss Xu. Then her gaze shifted back to Chu Ge. When the stone opening happened, she had vaguely heard this man mention something insightful about tea, pinpointing that the water used wasn’t Snow Mountain Spring Water. She became even more suspicious of Chu Ge’s identity.

The tea made with Snow Mountain Spring Water only had the effects of refreshing the mind, enhancing memory, and decelerating aging for ordinary people, but its effects on Martial Artists were far more than that, especially for Postnatal Martial Artists. Drinking a few cups each day could enhance the True Qi within their bodies.

This was something that not even many locals of Su City knew—she only heard about it while overhearing a conversation between her father and an elder from the Tang Sect.

Tang Xin couldn’t help but take another look at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge didn’t say much else, but instead took a shallow sip from the tea cup, "Hmm, indeed not bad."

He faintly felt a stream of freshness flowing smoothly down his throat, gradually penetrating his blood, a subtle sensation that disappeared in an instant.

Chu Ge looked down at the water in his tea cup, which had been filtered without a single tea leaf remaining.

Is this the Snow Mountain Spring Water?

A glimmer flashed in Chu Ge’s eyes. He indeed loved tea, but he wasn’t obsessed with it to the point of necessity. He could tell that the tea wasn’t brewed with Snow Mountain Spring Water—not because he was very knowledgeable about tea, but because he was familiar with Snow Mountain Spring Water.

Su City lay west to the Snow Mountain, beneath which lay an exceedingly promising, undeveloped Spirit Vein. This was something his master had told him. He planned to break through to the Innate Realm in Su City, and he needed the soaking of Snow Mountain Spring Water for the breakthrough.

However, he was currently at the Gambling Stone Field. If he openly asked for a cup of Snow Mountain Spring Water, it would surely attract attention. In order not to startle the snake by hitting the grass, he could only ask for a cup of tea brewed with Snow Mountain Spring Water.

At this moment, a man dressed in work attire walked over, respectfully saying to Tang Xin, "Lady Tang, it’s all ready."

In front of a rectangular Purple Sand table, various stones were laid out, differing in size and color, and the area around the table was already surrounded by many spectators.

"Look, Tang Xin is here."

"Wow, just imagine how blissful it would be if Tang Xin really stripped naked and stood at the entrance for us to admire."

The person speaking fondled his smooth bald head, his eyes glinting with greed as he ogled Tang Xin’s exposed legs, almost drooling.

"How can you be so sure that Tang Xin will lose? I actually think that Miss Tang will win."

A man dressed in a Tang costume spoke coolly from the side.

The Bald Man scoffed. "Brother, you must be new to the Gambling Stone Field, aren’t you? How long has Miss Tang been hanging around this Gambling Stone Field? And how many years has Young Master Shen been around? And have you seen the man standing next to Young Master Shen? That’s Wu Yong, a big name in the Gambling Stone Field; every stone he picks sells for a high price!"

As he said this, the Bald Man’s eyes shined with admiration, "What’s more important is that he was once invited by the Nangong Family, one of the Six Great Families of Beijing.

Having ties with one of the Six Great Families of Beijing presages a bright future and soaring success!

"Wu Yong’s name is well-known among the people in the Gambling Stone Field for this reason. Anyone who frequents the Gambling Stone Field would know this!" After saying this, the Bald Man cast a contemptuous glance at the man in the Tang costume, his look clearly conveying that you’re a newbie, ignorant of such common knowledge; it’s obvious you don’t come here often.

Indeed, the man dressed in the Tang costume didn’t frequent the Gambling Stone Field. In fact, this was his first visit, and his purpose for coming here wasn’t to gamble on stones, but to find someone.

However, he had been here for quite some time and still hadn’t seen Huo Tianqian’s damned face anywhere. God knows where that useless guy had run off to!

In front of the rectangular table, Shen Congwen and Tang Xin stood on opposite sides.

With his hands crossed over his chest, Shen Congwen looked at Tang Xin arrogantly and sneered, "Tang Xin, if you want to back out, there’s still a chance. Just kneel down, kowtow, and then strip naked and stand at the entrance for everyone’s enjoyment, and I’ll let go of the grudge for you bullying my little brother earlier!"

Tang Xin snorted coldly, lifting her chin slightly, "Your grandma never knew the meaning of the word ’regret’! It’s you who should consider admitting defeat while there’s still time!"

Seeing that Tang Xin was not afraid at all, Shen Congwen’s lips curled coldly, "Soon, I’ll let you know what regret means!"

He pointed to a middle-aged man in a white mandarin jacket next to him and introduced, "This is Mr. Wu Yong, a stone appraisal expert of the Gambling Stone Field. Any stone he sets his eyes on gets sold for a high price. He has never failed!"

Tang Xin had, of course, heard of Wu Yong’s name, but what she hadn’t expected was for Shen Congwen to actually enlist Wu Yong’s help!

If it were just a one-on-one confrontation with Shen Congwen, Tang Xin might have a chance to win, but now with Wu Yong in the mix...

"Don’t worry, I’m here; I guarantee you won’t lose." At this moment, a magnetic voice sounded in her ear. Tang Xin turned to glance at Chu Ge, who had somehow made his way to her side. She glared at him irritably, "What do you know? This Wu Yong is quite famous in our Su City. Any stone he chooses turns out to be good jade."

Although she had confidence in her own judgment, she felt a bit less assured against Wu Yong.

Chu Ge might not have known what exactly Wu Yong was up to, but he had just sensed through every stone on the table. Indeed, there were quite a few good items in them, even some superior quality stones that were very rare.

Sadly, these top-notch goods were of no use to him anymore.
