Chapter 59 - To Break the Ice?

Proofread by Prof Zhu Yuan

Everyone heard that and trembled, for a time, no one said a word.

Yue Mingde showed the standard commercial smile again and said, “Since nobody has objections, we shall begin.”

For a moment, there were twinkles in everyone’s eyes and people were all staring at the shadow behind the curtain without one blink.

“Dang Dang Dang…”

The gong sounded and the figure inside moved.

The forty-eight wager shop’s law was a lot; however, generally the biggest wager was the simplest.

The simple gambling rule coupled with high stakes was the most exciting.

Today Nan Gongning and Ning Ziqing used the simplest way to bet.

Betting size!

The size of the bet was generally the fighting size with the banker, but today it was not the same. There was no banker, only Nan Gongning to Ning Ziqing.

The smaller one lost and the big one won.

Clear and simple.

Ning Zziqing’s stake was naturally the Xuanhuang treasure box, but Nangong Ning’s…

Before this, Yue Mingde had told them clearly that there must be equal value of things to qualify in order to win the world’s greatest treasure.

Nangong ning was the eldest lineal daughter of Nangong family. Everyone knew that Nangong family not only had money but also the family industry, but nobody knew what Nangong Ning would come up with.

In all the doubts of all people, Yue Mingde said loudly, “Miss Nangong bets on all property of Nangong family.”

For a moment, everyone gasped. They all thought that today would be exciting, but no one thought that today’s stimulus was so big.

All property of Nangong family? It was equal that Nangong Ming was to take out all of Nangong family to wager Xuanhuang treasure box.

If she was to win, She would get the world’s greatest treasure.

If she was to lose, all her Nangong family property would belong to Ning Ziqing.

Miss Nangong must be crazy?

Even if it was the world’s most valuable treasure, was it so valuable?

At this time someone put forward a different voice, “The current master of Nangong family is Nangongluo, Miss Nangong’s uncle. Miss Nangong is such a big spender. Will the home Lord agree with her?”

Everyone was confused.

Today forty-eight wager shop sent out the news that Nangong Ning was going to gamble with Ning Ziqing. That was actually very strange for everyone.

Nobody had heard that Miss Nangong loved gambling. But later everyone wanted the Xuan huang treasure box, and the noble lady of Nangong family wanted it too. That was actually very normal for everyone.

But just for an ancient treasure box in the legend, she was so desperate to bet on the whole family. That was strange indeed.

“We don’t know if the owner’s consent is obtained.But Miss Nangong has held Nangong family’ order, so we just recognize her bet. As for the other, our forty-eight wager shop don’t like to poke my nose into other people’s business.” Even in the face of these doubts, Yue Mingde still maintained a standard smile and declared clearly and calmly.

The Nangong order? Today only 20 people could enter the arena , and the entrance fee was very expensive. If someone was willing to take out a thousand gold to buy a ticket to come in, he must have both leisure and spare money. So sitting here at this time, they were no ordinary people.

So, although the Nangong order was not a name known to everyone, they knew, even if it was not so clear, this thing probably was more valuable as could be seen from home owner Nangong Luo’s analysis of Yue Mingde’s tone.

“Any other questions?” Yue Mingde was still smiling, but the eyes were sweeping over the people coldly.

Swept over by his eyes, many people felt a bit tight. They were today to see the fun. Since it was already so exciting, so why did they bother?

And although Forty-eight was just a gambling workshop, but it never had accepted any questions.

“No! No! Let’s get started! We can’t wait!” Someone said quickly.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s get started!”

Yue Mingde nodded and turned into the “heaven”room.

At this time, the one sitting opposite Ning was Wen Renyao. Today, he temporarily disguised himself as Ning Ziqing who actually did not exist.

At this time Ning looked like a demon-like man. He had been wearing a green shirt before, which was evil-looking. But today, he changed into a white suit.

Wearing white long brocade, the evil-doer in pure good clothes let Ning feel that the man in front of the eyes look like a magic fairy who was a big thrill.

“Do you have to do this?” Ning tried to calm the mood, twisting her eyebrows and whispered.

She just borrowed his shadow for once. What’s this man doing?

Wen Renyao said, “The play must be done,” blinking his enchanting eyes to her, “How? Do I look like Ning Ziqing you imagined?”

“I hadn’t imagined. But if I wanted to, I think Ning Ziqing should have a good childe look,”Ning said reluctantly.

Wen Renyao laughed gently, “Since he came to wager shop, He has long since ceased to be a noble person.”

That was not wrong…Ning felt a little speechless, but it was useless to say that.

“Let’s begin.”

Wen Renyao hooked his lip and replied, “Good.”

The stakes on both sides were high, in order to give the other side more chances and to make the game more exciting.

This time the bet: two out of three.

People outside could not see the specific gambling situation, but there was Yue Mingde’s report. Everyone was excited and nervous.

“The first set! Miss Nangong adds ten points plus and gets one point!” Yue Mingde’s loud voice spread out.

Having Heard this point, a burst of sigh came out.

How could an old family lady bet? It was like asking for trouble.

“The first game! Mr. Ning adds two points plus eight and gets zero!”

The sigh went out suddenly.

One v.s zero. Even one point was the smallest, but it was higher than zero!

Actually Nangong Ning won this game.

Sure enough, the louder voice of Yue Mingde spread out again.

“The First game! One point v.s. zero! Miss Nangong won!”

After the first game, the enthusiasm of all people was mobilized to the greatest extent. The next game was the key. If Nangong Ning won again luckily, the Xuanhuang treasure box would belong to her.

Many people thought if Nangong Ning owned the Xuanhuang treasure box, would the regent accept her as his fiancee?

If one person could think of that, many would think of that too. For a time, all the people suddenly understood why Nangong Ning was so desperate.

It was for his royal regent.

If so, it really all made sense.

Nangong Ning did not know that she just won a game and all she did was imagined as an overture to Jun Qianye.

At this time, she was in the second round.

The time was up. Yue Mingde raised his voice again, “ The second game! Miss Nangong three points plus eight and gets one.”

One point again! Nangong Ning seemed be meant to be with one point. Some people who just felt that Nangong Ning was lucky just changed their minds and felt bad for her.

Couldn’t Ning Ziqing get zero again this time?

“The second game! Mr. Ning adds four points plus eight and gets two points!” The voice of Yue Mingde broke everyone’s surprise.

This time, however, the winner was Ning Ziqing!

The voice of Yue Mingde came again.

“The second game! One v.s. two,! Mr. Ning won!”

At this point, no one thought about whether the two were lucky or bad.

None of this made sense. The most significant and touching moment was the third set.

The moods of people outside was high. Although the difference between the two victories was small, it was the decider. It was still very exciting.

“The third round begins!”

As soon as the voice of Yue Mingde came out, suddenly another voice came in from the outside.

Everyone was surprised. They looked towards the sound and saw that someone had broken in.

Today the Forty-eight had been announced that other guests were not invited except for the 20 people with tickets. But now at least 20 people came in.

And some guards of wager shop fell at their feet.

It was clear that they had not entered normally, but had forced their way in

Yue Mingde quickly rushed out from the “heaven” room. Just with a glance, he saw a person standing in front of the room and his face changed in an instant.

After a short pause, Yue Mingde hurried forward and saluted, “See your highness!”

It was none other than Jun Zixuan who was standing there

In fact, the other people also recognized Jun Zixuan. Because today there were not the ordinary people but some royal members. Of course they had seen Jun Zixuan.

“Is there a big bet here today, right?” Jun Zixuan looked cold and calm, but his eyes were staring at the “heaven” room.

Nangong Ning unexpectedly ran to gamble? As soon as he got the news today, he couldn’t wait coming here. But there was no news from Nangong Luo.

Although for this matter, he was not quite clear what’s going on here. But there was Nangong Ning involved, he didn’t feel right suddenly so coming up hurriedly.

Yue Mingde did not expect to see a prince today. They had not expected this, so he was a little flustered.

Today’s game was originally fake, which was designed for Nangong Ning to fool the visitors. He was still handy for that.

But facing Jun Zixuan, this prince, he was a little guilty.

Although he felt guilty, Yue Mingde still repeated the situation to Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan heard that, and his face became grave at once.

Nangong Ning was actually holding the Nangong order with all the property and industry to bet on the Xuanhuang treasure box?

He also heard the story of the Xuanhuang treasure box. But he was on someone else’s turf and had his special status as prince. So he had no confidence to directly seize the Xuanhuang treasure.

Besides, if Nangong Ning really lost the family industry, what would he do?

“Nangong Ning! Are you crazy?” He thought of this, shouted sharply into the “heaven” room.

Looking that this situation, Yue Mingde hurriedly stopped him, but the east palace guards stopped him.

He alone, of course, could not be a rival of the east palace guards. He was directly thrown to the ground by a guard, rolling to the side.

Seeing Jun Zixuan was about to go in there, and today’s game was on the break, he could only lie down on the ground in terror.
