Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 1921 - 1915: Stone Gambling

"Boss, in that case, why don’t you refund us the money? We don’t want it anymore." Wang Jingman also felt greatly annoyed by those who stir up trouble for nothing. Originally, she was happily selecting stones with Chen Yang, but since someone else wanted it, they could just take it.

This sentiment was echoed by Chen Yang.

This guy loves to act all cool; let him indulge. Wait until the stone is cut, and he will surely be humiliated.

"Yeah, since he wants it, just give it to him. Anyway, that rock won’t yield any good stuff. If he likes being a fool, let him be," Chen Yang added.

Upon hearing the word "fool", Jin Gongzi’s expression instantly turned dark.

"Kid, do you know what you’re talking about?" Jin Gongzi inquired coldly, his attitude quite unfriendly.

"Of course, I know. I’m saying that stone won’t produce anything good. If you want it, I’ll give it to you," Chen Yang reiterated.

"Kid, are you looking for trouble? In this raw stone market, doesn’t everyone know that our Jin Gongzi is famous for his sharp eyes? Could he possibly make a mistake?" The middle-aged man accompanying Jin Gongzi chimed in.

"Haha, does he dare call himself sharp-eyed? Doesn’t he fear being laughed at? I can’t be bothered arguing with you guys. If you want it, buy it; if not, leave quickly. Why keep pestering me?" Chen Yang retorted bluntly.

The middle-aged man was fuming.

And Jin Gongzi’s face grew darker.

He originally just wanted to show off a bit, but didn’t expect Chen Yang to be so disrespectful.

Now that things have escalated to this point, if he doesn’t make a move, he will lose face completely.

Now, he definitely wouldn’t let Chen Yang off the hook.

"You really don’t know your limits, daring to mock me. If you’re so confident, how about a wager?"

Jin Gongzi directly proposed.

"A wager?" Chen Yang looked at him.

"Yes, it’s a rule at our market. If you’re not satisfied, we can have a stone betting round. Let’s bet on these two pieces! Today, I won’t let you go; I’ll ensure your face is completely humiliated," Jin Gongzi pointed at the two raw stones on the table and declared loudly.

Pfft.

Listening to him, Chen Yang couldn’t help but snicker.

Who exactly is pretending here? It’s him who started talking and persisted, yet he’s blaming others.

"You should say that to yourself, but since you suggested a bet, I’ll oblige. Just tell me what the wager is!" Chen Yang got a bit angry.

When someone’s pride is challenged, isn’t it natural to retaliate?

Jin Gongzi was completely confident, and seeing Chen Yang agree, a smile appeared on his face.

"Of course, it’s about money. What else? Today, I didn’t bring much cash, only a million. Do you dare?" Jin Gongzi stretched out his hand, and the butler next to him handed over a briefcase.

Once opened, it was full of cash.

Wow.

Suddenly witnessing such a large sum of money, the entire crowd turned their attention.

"That’s Jin Gongzi for you, such generosity."

"Tsk tsk, looking at the stone, Jin Gongzi has a high winning chance."

"Haha, if I were the kid, I’d apologize right away and slip off; otherwise, the embarrassment will be huge."

The crowd began discussing.

Many people were originally gathered around, thus they knew what had transpired earlier.

Upon observation, they felt that the stone chosen by Jin Gongzi had a higher probability of yielding a positive result.

After all, whether in size, shape, or surface appearance, it was much superior to the stone Chen Yang had selected.

Hearing the crowd’s assessment, Jin Gongzi smirked proudly.

"Why aren’t you talking, kid? Want to chicken out? It’s okay. Apologize for earlier, and it’s over," Jin Gongzi said smugly.

Chen Yang heard this and laughed.

"You might be delusional, imagining things. Isn’t it just a million? I’ll bet."

Upon hearing Chen Yang agree to the bet, Jin Gongzi was slightly stunned.

He had never anticipated Chen Yang would actually accept the challenge.

He offered a million purely to intimidate Chen Yang, not expecting him to actually agree.

"Alright, kid, you have guts!" Jin Gongzi gritted his teeth, preparing to let the boss cut the stone, eager to witness what lay within.

"Wait!"

At this critical juncture, the butler intervened.

Instead of advising Jin Gongzi against the bet, he eyed Chen Yang up and down and inquired, "Kid, our Jin Gongzi has shown the money, but we don’t know if you can pay up. What if you default?"

"Before starting, we need to verify funds! Otherwise, it doesn’t count."

The butler was cautious, fearing Chen Yang might be unable to fulfill the financial obligation.

"It’s fine, even if he can’t pay, we can just detain him," Jin Gongzi stated nonchalantly.

However, while saying this, he cast a sly glance at Wang Jingman.

"Kid, dare to proceed? If not, you can still back out now; once the stone is cut, it will be too late," Jin Gongzi challenged.

Chen Yang chuckled: "You should be the one considering carefully; a million isn’t a trivial sum."

"Hmph, very well, I trust you can still maintain this air later." Jin Gongzi let out a cold snort, turning to address the stall owner and the surrounding spectators: "Everyone present can bear witness. He is the one who initiated this bet regarding the stones. The rules are already clear to all, so I need not elaborate further. Please, observe this event closely."

"Haha, something exciting is about to unfold. Young Master Jin is renowned for his discerning eye. It has been quite some time since anyone dared to challenge him to a stone bet."

"Fear not, Young Master Jin, we shall certainly be your witnesses!"

"Indeed, haha, it’s a rather uneventful day, and this promises to liven things up."

The onlookers readily agreed to act as witnesses.

The stall owner was more than pleased to officiate the proceedings.

This was because the act of betting on stones habitually attracted significant attention.

If such a bet were to commence, it would undoubtedly draw a substantial crowd to his stall.

"Young Master Jin, I shall serve as your referee for today. I will determine who possesses the superior judgment once the stones are cut," the owner declared with a cheerful demeanor.

"Naturally, after acquiring the stones from your stall, they will be cut right here. Proceed," Jin Gongzi replied, exuding confidence in his selection of the raw stones.

"Understood." The owner smiled, then turned his gaze to Chen Yang: "Sir, are you absolutely certain? If there are no further objections, I shall commence. Just keep in mind, a bet is a bet, and there are no second chances."

Chen Yang, having already perceived the true nature hidden within the stone, felt a considerable sense of assurance.

"Proceed," he stated.

Chen Yang uttered these words with a casual tone.

"Very well, I shall begin the process." The owner, now reassured, wasted no time in retrieving the two stones. He then initiated the cutting process directly in front of the assembled crowd.

Before making any cuts, he first needed to prepare meticulously. This involved studying the optimal points for incision and carefully examining the exterior of each stone.

While the owner was engaged in his preparations, the murmuring among the onlookers began.

"Wow, at first glance, Young Master Jin's stone appears to be of superior quality. Upon closer examination, it’s even more impressive. That other piece simply cannot compare."

"Isn't that the truth? I suspect the young fellow is just a novice, completely ignorant, and is merely here to cause a disturbance."

"Young Master Jin is guaranteed to emerge victorious. When considering both the intrinsic quality and the outward appearance, he holds a clear advantage."
