Chapter 633: Chapter 0635: Hand Over the Shares

"Nangong Yunrao, it’s not too late to regret now. If you lose in the next round, the shares of the Nangong Family you hold will be mine."

Yuwen Kangli said.

Nangong Yunrao snorted, "Stop the nonsense, let’s get on with it! It’s not certain yet who’ll win or lose!"

Yuwen Kangli gently shook his head. Since he insisted on this, there was no blaming his ruthlessness.

Yuwen Kangli raised his hand slightly, signaling the Judge to begin.

As the Judge made his move, Nangong Yunrao became extremely tense; this round was extraordinarily important to him.

The Judge first opened Yuwen Kangli’s stone, and when the jade revealed a light blue glow, the surrounds immediately burst into applause.

This applause said it all; this piece of jade was top-grade.

On the other hand, Nangong Yunrao’s expression had turned somewhat unsightly. Three times in a row, Yuwen Kangli managed to reveal good jade. Honestly speaking, he was truly unsure at heart.

But things had progressed to this stage, and all he could do was bite the bullet and proceed.

The Judge started stone opening for him, and as the red cloth was lifted, a hiss of disbelief rippled through the crowd the moment they saw the stone.

Because the stone Nangong Yunrao had chosen, both in luster and shape, weren’t on the same level as Yuwen Kangli’s.

Lin Dong involuntarily drew a cold breath, "It’s over, it’s over. Nangong Yunrao is going to lose now."

Chu Ge gently shook his head, "Not necessarily."

Often the most inconspicuous stones contained the best inside.

Lin Dong didn’t believe it. He shook his head in disapproval, but as the Judge unveiled the stone, just when Lin Dong wanted to make a bet with Chu Ge, before he could speak out, the surrounding people gasped.

"This is..."

"Actually top-grade Red Jade!" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Dong was shocked as well. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Damn! It’s actually Red Jade! This is an extremely rare find. Its value could be much more valuable than the two pieces Yuwen Kangli unveiled."

When Nangong Yunrao saw the Red Jade revealed, he couldn’t be happier, letting out a hearty laugh and said loudly, "How about that, Yuwen Kangli? I told you I might not lose! The value of this Red Jade is worth much more than the two pieces you’ve unveiled."

Yuwen Kangli’s expression turned constipated. He pursed his lips tightly and coldly looked at Nangong Yunrao, "So what if it’s opened? We are comparing the quality of the stones, not their total value. Even if this stone is Crystal Jade, you have only won one round."

"The next two rounds remain. If you can win them all, then you can claim true skill."

Yuwen Kangli saw Nangong Yunrao actually uncover Red Jade. Although he still had a chance to win, he couldn’t help feeling upset.

No matter what, the Red Jade was opened, which was worth a hundred times more than his stones.

Especially when he saw people around beginning to praise Nangong Yunrao, his jealousy swelled even more.

"Don’t worry, in the next round I’ll make sure you lose miserably!" Nangong Yunrao, inflated by the Red Jade, scornfully looked at Yuwen Kangli, his lips curling in disdain.

Yuwen Kangli didn’t say much. He just glanced at the Judge, gesturing with his eyes for the next round to begin. After the Judge announced the start, they both plunged back into choosing their stones.

This time, Yuwen Kangli’s selection process was even more meticulous than before. Although he was still leading, he couldn’t give Nangong Yunrao any more chances.

After a long selection, Yuwen Kangli finally chose a stone, while by then, Nangong Yunrao had already selected his and was waiting.

Lin Dong quietly asked Chu Ge, "Nangong Yunrao didn’t examine much and just picked up that stone. Isn’t that a sign of getting carried away?"

Chu Ge chuckled lightly and nodded, admitting a bit of arrogance had set in, and maybe this round, Nangong Yunrao would lose.

Of course, he didn’t voice this prediction out loud, but rather silently thought it to himself.

As Chu Ge had expected, in the fourth round, the stone Nangong Yunrao picked was not as good as Yuwen Kangli’s, and this time he couldn’t manage a smile.

He incredulously stepped forward to inspect the stone, "How is this possible? There must be a trick!"

Yuwen Kangli stepped forward with a smiling face. He said to Chu Ge, "What’s there is there, where’s the trick? Nangong Yunrao, you can’t bear to lose, can you?"

Nangong Yunrao glared at Yuwen Kangli in anger. Now he regretted it. The shares in his possession of the Nangong Family might not be much, but it was still enough to squander for a year. If it went to Yuwen Kangli, not only would he lack assurance in the future, his family would definitely not let him off!

"Yuwen Kangli, you were just joking with me earlier, right? Look, we grew up together. How could you really be interested in the shares I hold?"

Nangong Yunrao said with a laugh.

Yuwen Kangli, however, didn’t give him any chance to back out. He shook his head gently, "Nangong Yunrao, you’re wrong. I truly do want the shares in your hands. Besides, we’re not brothers that grew up together, we are mortal enemies. How can we be called brothers? And one more thing, there are so many people watching, you wouldn’t want to renege, would you?"

The smile on Nangong Yunrao’s face froze; he did want to renege.

"There are many witnesses here; they can all attest to the validity of our bet, and you can’t go back on your word. If you do, the Nangong Family’s reputation will be tainted by you."

Yuwen Kangli pressed step by step, smiling at Nangong Yunrao without any intention of letting him off.

In the crowd, Lin Dong said to Chu Ge with regret, "Ah, I just felt that Nangong Yunrao made his choice too quickly. He should have examined a few more stones."

Chu Ge didn’t respond; his gaze stayed on Yuwen Kangli and Nangong Yunrao, contemplating something.

"Yuwen Kangli, don’t go too far!" Nangong Yunrao, now desperate, angrily pointed at Yuwen Kangli and hissed.

"Me? Going too far?" Yuwen Kangli lightly scoffed, "I think you’re misunderstanding one thing. It’s not that I am unreasonable; you just want to go back on your word."

"Everybody, look here. The Nangong Family’s third young master can’t handle losing, he wants to renege."

Yuwen Kangli suddenly shouted loudly, causing the onlooking crowd to start whispering to each other.

Their whispers drifted into Nangong Yunrao’s ears, making him feel utterly humiliated.

"What are you blabbering about! Who says I can’t handle losing? I accept my loss! Take my shares then!"

Nangong Yunrao, with his pride on the line, couldn’t stand the pointing and murmuring, so with gritted teeth, he had to hand over his shares.
