Luo Bi hesitated, as she usually consulted her family for major decisions, her gaze fell on Guan Zhuting. Compared to Guan Zhuting, she preferred to listen to her father and Hua Ran’s opinions.
At this moment, a group of people dressed in guard uniforms pushed through the crowd and approached. The lead person, a Flame Warrior, glanced at her and said, "Hello, I am Lu Xiao, the captain of the Jade Gambling Guild’s guard team. I heard that you gambled for a high-quality Level 4 Red Jade. Our vice president would like to meet you. May I ask if you can come with me?"
Upon hearing this, those who were bidding felt indignant but dared not offend the Jade Gambling Guild. They only looked at Luo Bi to see her reaction.
Luo Bi did not expect to attract the attention of the Jade Gambling Guild. After a brief hesitation, she nodded in agreement. The surrounding crowd looked disappointed as they watched Luo Bi leave with the Jade Gambling Guild’s guard team.
The Jade Gambling Guild was located on Jade Gambling Street, not far away. The group walked there on foot.
Luo Bi was very nervous throughout the journey, reaching out to grab Guan Zhuting’s arm. Although the Luo family was a prominent family in the Fengyao Empire, her branch of the family had long resided on Zhihuang Star, with no significant achievements. Her father, Luo Hang, had separated early and lived independently. Luo Bi had always lived a simple life and had never met any important figures, so it was inevitable that she would be nervous.
Don’t compare her to other穿越者 (time travelers) who remain calm in the face of unexpected situations; they are clueless and can’t be compared to her.
Lu Xiao led Luo Bi and Guan Zhuting to an office and then left. Luo Bi looked at the handsome young man sitting behind the desk. Even in the interstellar age, where human lifespans were generally extended, he looked too young to be the vice president of the Jade Gambling Guild.
"Hello, I am Wen Yao, the vice president of the Jade Gambling Guild’s Zhihuang Star branch. May I ask for your name, Miss?" Wen Yao wore a monocle, his lips curled, giving off an enigmatic and unfathomable smile.
Luo Bi instinctively felt wary of this person and replied, "My name is Luo Bi."
"Luo Bi?" Wen Yao narrowed his eyes, finding the name familiar. After a moment of thought, he smiled, "You are Luo Juan’s cousin! I am friends with your cousin. I heard that you gambled for a high-quality Level 4 Red Jade?"
"Ah!" Luo Bi nodded.
"As an ordinary person, you have quite good luck..."
Before he could finish, someone knocked on the door, and it was opened. Two people entered.
Luo Bi looked over and saw it was Luo Juan and Luo Yan, her cousin and cousin’s sister. What a coincidence.
Luo Juan and Luo Yan clearly saw Luo Bi and Guan Zhuting. Luo Yan’s eyes widened in surprise, asking, "Why are you here?"
Luo Bi gave a light laugh without answering. This was the person who had taken her fiancé; she wanted to slap her. What right did she have to speak to her?
At this moment, Luo Yan had no time to deal with Luo Bi. She had important matters to attend to: "Brother Yao, where is the person who gambled for the high-quality Level 4 Red Jade?"
Wen Yao nodded toward Luo Bi, "That person is your cousin, Luo Bi. I was thinking about how to persuade her to sell the Red Jade to you, but now it’s better since you’re family, it will be easier to talk."
Wen Yao sat down in his chair, planning to stay out of it and let the family handle it themselves.
"Sister Bi, did you gamble for the high-quality Level 4 Red Jade?" Luo Yan asked, carefully observing Luo Bi’s expression, her eyes filled with doubt. "If it’s you, that’s great. I just awakened my mental power and need three pieces of high-quality Level 3 Jade to submit to the Mental Master Guild. I have already gambled for two pieces, and I only need yours."
