Chapter 143: Trouble at the Gambling Stone Shop
Murong Jingchen: "I will go into seclusion after returning. I will definitely make a breakthrough before the competition!"
Mu Qingli couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, you can definitely do it. I found a treasure that only you can use, so I brought it to you. Maybe you can break through two levels by accident."
Murong Jingchen's eyes lit up. Although he knew that Mu Qingli was teasing him just now, he still felt powerless because he had not been promoted. When he heard that he could be promoted two levels, he couldn't wait to start practicing now.
But Mu Qingli saw through his thoughts and immediately said, "Relax today, I'll give you the things in the evening."
Murong Jingchen was so happy that he nodded immediately: "Don't worry, I will definitely be very happy! Let's go gamble on stones!"
Xiao Lingyi followed behind and said very generously: "As the host, let me do my part to show my hospitality. I'm not short of Xuanjing now!"
Mu Qingli turned around and glanced at him: "How much did your father give you?"
Xiao Lingyi smiled and extended his hand to make an OK sign: "Thirty million black crystals are enough for me to squander for a while."
Mu Qingli and Shangguan Xiyue didn't bother to be polite with him. Since he wanted to treat them, they let him do it.
The group of four soon arrived at the place where Murong Jingchen mentioned gambling on stones. Mu Qingli had already called Yun Xiao out and held him in his arms.
Mu Qingli glanced at the plaque on the door - Jubao Pavilion.
As soon as he walked into the gate of Jubao Pavilion, Mu Qingli was attracted by the dazzling array of stones in front of him.
The stones vary in size, some are taller than a person, and some are as small as a fingernail.
The shopkeeper greeted them immediately upon seeing them come in: "Are you here to choose some stones? We guarantee you'll make a profit on the stones we sell!"
Mu Qingli did not answer him directly, but asked: "Shopkeeper, is this all the stones you have?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became serious: "Of course not, this is just the lowest level, and can only offer things below the high level, so of course the price is relatively cheap.
If you want something higher level, you have to go upstairs. They have sold many king-level items there before."
"Well, take us upstairs."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that they were not short of money, and took them upstairs with a smile on his face.
"You can choose from the above. Just tell the people over there which one you choose. I still have to go downstairs to receive the guests."
Mu Qingli and his group nodded and began to look around the second floor.
There were no other guests when they entered the first floor, but there were a few more guests on the second floor.
Murong Jingchen talked about what he got out of the stones he bought before, and each time he got out they were all high-end items.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from the side: "As expected, garbage is garbage, and the things that come out are also garbage."
When Mu Qingli heard this, he looked over with an unhappy expression.
The person who spoke was a man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, and beside him was a woman who looked very fragile.
The woman echoed the man's words at this moment: "Brother Meng is right, only trash can get trash, unlike our brother Meng who just got a king-level item for the first time!"
Murong Jingchen also glanced at the couple talking. After confirming that he didn't know them, he immediately started to retort: "What kind of rubbish dares to speak in front of me? Qingqing, did you hear the dog barking just now?"
Mu Qingli nodded seriously: "I heard it, a male dog and a female dog, they were barking at each other."
Meng Fanlin's expression changed in an instant, but when he looked up at Mu Qingli's perfect figure, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the words he was about to say could not be uttered.
Zhao Junyue, who was beside him, saw his eyes and looked at Mu Qingli, and disgust and jealousy flashed across her face.
She shook Meng Fanlin's arm. "Brother Meng, he must be jealous that we got a king-level item. People like him should be taught a lesson!"
Meng Fanlin came back to his senses from his astonishment. When he heard what Zhao Junyue said, he immediately remembered that the two people had called them dogs, so he turned his gaze to Mu Qingli.
The look in his eyes was scrutinizing, as if he was looking at merchandise, and Mu Qingli wanted to poke his eyes out.
Xiao Lingyi and Murong Jingchen worked in perfect sync and directly blocked Mu Qingli and Shangguan Xiyue behind them.
Unfortunately, Murong Jingchen was still too short and only half of it was covered.
Meng Fanlin sighed softly, "I originally wanted you to just apologize, but now, if you agree to bet with me, I'll let you go."
Although Zhao Junyue was unhappy when she heard this, she still forced a smile: "That's right! You said that if you can beat my brother Meng in the bet, we will forgive you."
Murong Jingchen laughed out loud: "Who do you think you are? You just bet like that?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Fanlin also laughed out loud when he heard this, and immediately said to Zhao Junyue: "Tell them who I am."
Zhao Junyue raised her neck proudly: "My brother Meng is the son of the nephew of the most favored imperial concubine of Donglai Kingdom, the cousin of the uncle of the cousin of the uncle of the cousin!"
Mu Qingli: "..."
Shangguan Xiyue: “…”
Xiao Lingyi: "..."
Murong Jingchen: "How funny! I'm so scared! If someone didn't know you, they would think you were the biological son of the Emperor of Donglai Kingdom!"
Meng Fanlin's originally proud face twisted for a moment, but soon returned to the appearance of a graceful and elegant young man:
"A nobleman like me is beyond the reach of commoners like you!
I tell you, if you don't bet with me today, you won't be able to leave this door!"
Xiao Lingyi frowned, his hands itched, and he punched Meng Fanlin in the face.
Meng Fanlin was knocked back a few steps, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. A tooth fell out, and his expression instantly turned ferocious. "How dare you hit me! I'll make sure you pay for it!"
"Then how do you want me to get out of this mess?"
Xiao Lingyi took a few steps forward and punched him on the other side of the face, knocking out another tooth.
Murong Jingchen clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Brother Yi is awesome! I will carry the banner for Brother Yi, let's see who dares to be his enemy!"
The clerk nearby saw the fight and immediately came over to stop it. Xiao Lingyi didn't want to make things difficult for the clerk, so he didn't continue the fight.
But Meng Fanlin refused to give in, and said incoherently: "Wo Gaofuli, the divorce is over!" (I'm telling you, you're done!)
Xiao Lingyi looked coldly at the clerk beside him: "Hurry up and pull it away!"
Although he didn't want to make things difficult for the clerk, he really couldn't like such a tactless clerk.
The clerk hesitated, seemingly reluctant to pull the man away. "Hey customer, he was also here to shop. You hit him, and I'm having trouble explaining it. How do you want to compensate him?"
