Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1057 – Thank You

With a wave of his hand, he said with a complacent expression, “Open!”

When the stonemason from the auction house came over and was about to make his move, Mister Qian took the stone cleaver and said, “I’ll do it, you go down.”

The master who opened the stone took a glance at Zhang Suian, who nodded. He pointed to the rock An Zheng bet on and said: “Open this first.”

Mr. Qian walked up to the rock, stopped, took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hands until he was steady enough. Although ordinary stone slicing knives were very strong, it was impossible to cut open a mountain rock. Mr. Qian took out a small cloth bag and put the stone cutter into it to stir a few times. When he came out, the cutter had already been coated with some powder, but he did not know what it was.

Ordinary stone slicers had flat, sharp edges, but the one on the Cheshire Rock was more like a saw. One of his hands was on the stone, while the other held the saber. He cut back and forth, and after a moment, sprinkled some powder on it. The entire auction house became quiet, and only the sound of the knife grinding against the stone could be heard.

A few minutes later, the rock was cut open. Mr. Qian put the knife aside and had someone clean it with a basin of water. He put on a special pair of gloves before taking out the things inside. From the looks of it, it waretty good piece of Essence Crystal, its weight seemed to be about twice as heavy as the one Zhang Suian gave An Zheng.

“Congratulations to the marquis!”

Mr. Qian raised his Essence Crystal and gave it a look, then laughed out loud. He looked at An Zheng and said, “I’ll be taking Young Master Xun’s wager.”

Two thirds of the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone on An Zheng were taken, not too much, and the remaining one was exactly eighty pieces. Zhang Suian glanced at An Zheng, as if he cared about the Essence Crystal that he had given to An Zheng as a favor. So many of the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone had become things that he had promised, Zhang Suian felt heartache looking at them. Compared to Essence Crystal, Golden-Rank Spirit Stone did not seem to be that precious, but in reality, everyone was well aware of how valuable the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone was.

An Zheng cupped his fists and congratulated him: “I am convinced of my defeat, congratulations Master Hou.”

Xu Jiu laughed and said: “Young Master Xun is a straightforward person. Come, come, are you willing to bet or not?”

An Zheng looked at the eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stonlaced beside him, his face filled with pain. “I can’t gamble anymore, there’s only eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone left, in a while, I’ll still try my best to buy a rock.”

He then said, “As a man, how can you be so stingy? You’re not feeling happy at all. Isn’t it just the eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone? Could it be that your Xun family is lacking in this aspect? Besides, if you made the bet, wouldn’t you be making a killing? How about I bet you ten times? You made a bet, I’ll compensate you tenfold. ”

An Zheng: “But I will definitely lose.”

Xiahou Changshu laughed and said: “Master Hou shouldn’t make things difficult for him, he’s just a little brat that just came out of the martial arts world, why would Master Hou do that?”

It was better that she didn’t speak, because she was even angrier when she spoke. He had coveted for Xiahou Changshu’s beauty for a long time, if not for the fact that Xiahou Changshu’s status was so special, he would have done it long ago. Xiahou Changshu’s entire body was releasing a kind of allure that only mature women had, that kind of allure was simply fatal. The type of woman she liked the most was promised, and the more she couldn’t get one, the more she wanted one. He had originally wanted to make things difficult for An Zheng, but it was An Zheng who was so intimate with him before.

“Otherwise, young people would have more experience in the martial arts world, more experience. If you don’t have that much courage, you won’t be able to do anything big in the future. ”

He promised as he looked at Xiahou Changshu and said: “I still have you, Princess.

Of course, Xiahou Changshu could hear the unhappiness in his tone, she pulled at An Zheng’s hand: “Come sit by my side, let’s talk about some interesting things, gambling is meaningless. Furthermore, winning or losing is only a matter of a few Essence Crystal.

An Zheng seemed to be angered by these words and got rid of Xiahou Changshu’s hand, “Master Hou is right. As a man, one shouldn’t be so impulsive in his actions, and even more so can’t take things that aren’t related to him too seriously. It was just a matter of nature, so he might as well make the bet faster. After losing so much, why would I care about these eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone? ”

He clapped his hands and gloated, “Well said, why don’t you come and bet?”

Someone in the crowd whispered, “Everyone says that this Xun family member, Xun Anhui, ieaven warping talent and is the most outstanding person in the younger generation. Why does he look so silly?”

“Exactly, you can’t even tell such a simple method of provocation, yet you still want to walk in the martial arts world? You’re really too inexperienced.”

“I’m from a big family, what if I don’t care about these hundreds of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone?”

“If you want me to say it, he’s young and full of vigor. He just said a few words and got messed up.”

“This person still needs to experience a lot of things. So what if he comes from a famous clan? He’s still the same impatient type of person.” “When his father was an official in the imperial court, even His Majesty had to address him as’ mister ‘. How glorious was that?”

“Just watch. After you’ve lost everything, you will leave with your tail between your legs. You don’t even have the face to talk to that princess of the Xiahou Clan anymore.”

“A brat like him cares about his face the most. He feels that he can’t lose face in front of a woman, but isn’t he still being manipulated by her?”

The next words were not loud, but everyone heard them. After hearing about it, he was even more pleased, while An Zheng’s face looked even more ugly. He madlease gesture and said, “Come, Young Master Xun. You can bet any one of the eight pieces of the Mountain Division Stone, but I will compensate you with ten times the amount.”

An Zheng carried his eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s on a tray, walked over tock and put it down: “This one!”

Then without waiting foeply, he hurriedly picked up the tray again, “No, no, I have to look again … How about this one? “Even so, let me take a look …”

He walked back and forth between the eight stones, looking hesitant.

“Young Master Xun, you are truly admirable.”

Ye Zichen snorted, “You’ve come and gone several times, are you going to bet or not? I don’t like people that aren’t straightforward, so you don’t have to bet on it. Kids can’t play such an exciting game, you better go home and learn from your dad for a few more years, or else go back and act like a spoiled child with your mom. “Don’t waste everyone’s time here, if I had left already, how would I still have the face to stay here?”

“I’m going all out!”

An Zheng acted as if he was forced into a corner and casually placed the tray next tock: “This one!”

He madromise and pressed the tray down, “You’ve said it already. You can’t change it again.”

An Zheng struggled for a while as if he couldn’t struggle free, then blushed and said: “If you don’t want to change, then so be it. As a man, it’s like two people playing chess, I have no regrets.”

“Alright, that’s for the best!”

He looked at Mr. Qian and said, “Open a stone!”

Mr. Qian walked over and looked at An Zheng, his eyes filled with pity. He thought to himself that this child would definitely remember this huge loss for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t be so young and vigorous in the future.

He cleaned his hands again and then cut the rock a little bit more. Everyone stood up, although An Zheng’s bet wasn’t too big for them. But at this time, the atmosphere had already brightened. Everyone wanted to see if An Zheng had that one in ten thousand chance of winning.

Along with the clanging sound of the knife, someone else started to get nervous.

After the stone was cut open, Mister Qian took out a Essence Crystal. It was bigger than the previous one. An Zheng’s face looked pale, and he retreated a few steps, muttering to himself: “This is bad, there’s nothing left. “We’re finished. We’ve lost.”

Everyone laughed out loud.

“Young man, remember. “If you don’t have enough experience, don’t try to act like you’re very experienced. Learning more might make you feel lucky to be at a disadvantage.”

Even Zhang Suian could not help but shake his head and sigh. Just now, An Zheng had shown how powerful he was at the beginning, but now, he had been reduced to such a state due to his promise. In the future, this young man might never be able to stand up again. A person’s mentality was very important. His self-confidence had now been completely shattered. Previously, An Zheng had pointed out the flaws of the Fire God Seal and also pointed out the drawbacks of his bronze furnace. These two things had given Zhang Suian a huge impact, and in his opinion, the future achievements of this young man called Xun Yang was limitless.

But at that moment, An Zheng looked like he was covered in dirt, completely losing the aura of a young master from a famous clan.

“Sigh …” Young Master, you should go back and rest. ”

“That’s right, Young Master Xun is a dragon and phoenix among men. Look, we don’t even dare to gamble, only you dare to. Amazing, truly amazing.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m in awe of you, but you should hurry up and rest. You don’t have anything left now. You’re standing in the way. You’re blocking us from continuing to cut the rock.”

Xiahou Changshu waved at An Zheng, his expression was also a little ugly. Her lips moved slightly, and he spoke without a sound: “Come back and sit.”

Xu Guoliang smiled and said, “Young Master Xun is such a good person, I just want to thank you for the eighty Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. Although it’s not much, it’s still a prize.” Don’t be discouraged, it’s not that you can’t do it yourself, it’s just that your luck is bad, hahahaha … “It’s just bad luck.”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Exactly, there are still those who won’t leave even if they lose.”

An Zheng suddenly turned around. “Wait, I still want to bet!”

Xu Que was stunned for a moment. “You still want to bet? What are you betting on? You still have a Essence Crystal? And Golden-Rank Spirit Stone? ”

“I …” I don’t have any more, but, but … My life! I’ll bet my life with you! ”

When those words left his mouth, everyone was stunned.

“So this is a gambler, losing is as good as losing.”

“Exactly, this is clearly the sign that he can’t afford to lose.”

Even Xiahou Changshu stood up. “Come back here, don’t embarrass yourself anymore.”

An Zheng promised with red eyes: “I will bet my life on you, do you dare?”

He humphed and said, “What do I need your life for? However, since you have the guts, if I don’t accompany you, it would seem that I’m afraid of you. If you lose, then I don’t want your life. From today onwards, you will be my follower for a year.

“Alright!”

An Zheng clenched his teeth: “I’ll bet you, but if you lose, you have to give me all these Essence Crystal!”

“Alright, I’ll give them to you.”

Someone below said, “With this personality, sooner or later, the Xun family will be finished by him.”

“Exactly, to be unable to withstand such a small setback is difficult to achieve.” Moreover, this gambler’s nature has already been exposed, so his home will soon be completely in his hands. ”

However, An Zheng seemed to not care about all this. He grabbed a rock beside his hand and said, “Let’s bet on this!”

“Open for him!”

He walked to the side and sat down, then looked at Xiahou Changshu. Just look at the person you picked.

Xiahou Changshu snorted, he turned his head not looking at him, and ordered his men to pack up and prepare to leave.

At this moment, with a “pa da” sound, the stone was cut open. There was nothing inside.

The stone knife in Mr. Qian’s hand fell to the ground, his face pale.

Xu Zhiqiang stood up abruptly. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

An Zheng cupped his fists and smiled: “Luck, this is true luck, thank you very much, thank you very much Master Hou.”
