Chapter 654: Chapter 651 Announce the Result
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll lose?" Huo Sining asked with a smile.
Gu Xu shook his head, "You won’t do something if you’re not certain of it."
Back in Pingzhou, Huo Sining had once used him to pass a message to Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian, warning them to avoid a worthless King Biao and saving them tens of millions in losses.
Although Gu Xu held some doubts, not knowing how much the girl had learned during the eighteen years in Bashu that ordinary people couldn’t, he never doubted that Huo Sining would lose in today’s bet.
The certainty with which she had said "witness the miracle" was enough to prove Huo Sining’s full confidence in this grand gamble.
Seeing Huo Sining’s calm demeanor now, Gu Xu could guess that the answer she had given was probably the biggest highlight of today’s gamble.
Liu Chongren was so taken by the Worm Jade that he was rendered immobile.
He had lived for sixty-five years, and this was the first time he had seen such an exquisitely transparent Worm Jade.
When he touched the jadeite, he became somewhat obsessed, his face full of amazement and excitement, his eyes even reddening:
"It’s so beautiful, Yuxuan, this is the best gift Grandpa has ever received in his entire life!"
A flicker of pride crossed Liu Yuxuan’s eyes as she glanced disdainfully in the direction of Huo Sining:
"Grandpa, now that the jadeite has been unveiled, let’s announce the result of tonight’s bet first."
"You’re right, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn’t reminded me. Yunhui, you take care of this."
Although Liu Chongren felt there was no need to continue the competition, since he had already asked Huo Sining and Liu Yuxuan to compete, he intended to see it through to the end.
However, he didn’t believe that Huo Sining could guess the inner situation of this piece of stone, because he and Liu Yuxuan had spent days looking at this rough stone and researched countless resources just to guess that inside was an Ice-type to glass-type jadeite variant.
Even if Huo Sining was impressive, could she have guessed that there was a bug inside this stone?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this evening my daughter and Miss Huo have made a grand bet, and the one who guesses correctly wins. Now it’s time to reveal the answers!"
Liu Yunhui stood on the stage, gripping the microphone, and spoke loudly.
Although Liu Yunhui had not yet announced what exactly Liu Yuxuan and Huo Sining had bet on, no one believed that these two women could have guessed correctly about the rough stone.
Such a peculiar Worm Jade was indeed rarely seen, and none of the many jewelers present guessed correctly, not to mention these two women of such young age.
However, watching the excitement was also enjoyable, and hearing Liu Yunhui’s words, all the guests were even more enthusiastic; they just wanted to see who was stronger between the Gambling King’s granddaughter and the legendary Mysterious Miss Huo.
Huo Sining frowned, although she didn’t suspect that there would be any trickery in such a bet, such an affair was supposed to be announced by the emcee.
Why was Liu Yunhui standing on stage? Having the father of Liu Yuxuan preside over the competition between her and Liu Yuxuan, it all felt rather strange.
Gu Xu didn’t say anything, but seeing Liu Yunhui on stage taking out envelopes from a box, he also couldn’t help but frown.
However, he also said nothing, just kept his eyes fixed on every move of Qin Yunhui.
"Now we will announce the results of both of their stone-gambling." Liu Yunhui said loudly, while picking up two envelopes.
Just at this moment, Ouyang Jun, who was standing in the audience, suddenly spoke up, "Master Liu, may I join Mr. Liu in observing the opening and reading of the ladies’ envelopes?"
Huo Sining and Gu Xu were both stunned. They turned their heads to look at Ouyang Jun, who winked at Huo Sining, seeming to say, "Wait, I’ll watch over it for you guys to make sure there’s no chance for them to cheat!"
Liu Chongren was taken aback by Ouyang Jun’s words and couldn’t help but look in the direction of Huo Sining.
Seeing this, Huo Sining couldn’t help but press her lips into a smile and said to Gu Xu with a laugh, "Your childhood friend is quite righteous."
Gu Xu hummed indifferently, "This guy has gotten quite a few benefits from following you lately. It’s only right that he steps up to help you now."
While Huo Sining appeared detached, as if the matters at hand had nothing to do with her, on the other hand, Liu Yuxuan’s face looked somewhat ugly, her teeth clenched as she glared at Ouyang Jun.
Her grandfather had a good relationship with Qin Lianshan, but what was Ouyang Jun’s intention now? Was he preparing to take Huo Sining’s side?
Liu Yuxuan certainly did not think having her father announce the results of the competition was improper; on the contrary, she felt that Ouyang Jun was deliberately picking a fight.
Liu Yuxuan didn’t see anything wrong with her family’s arrangements, but Liu Chongren was very clear about it.
If no objections were raised, Liu Yunhui would open the envelope, and perhaps they might even tamper with it during this process.
But now that Ouyang Jun had brought it up, Liu Chongren, of course, still cared about his face.
So, he chuckled dryly and said with a strained smile, "Of course, to ensure the fairness of the competition, it should be so!"
After saying this, Liu Chongren started to feel somewhat apprehensive.
For some unknown reason, he suddenly became inexplicably nervous.
Especially when he saw Huo Sining’s calm smiling expression, he couldn’t shake the illusion that he might lose this competition.
"Since that’s the case, I shall respectfully comply."
Ouyang Jun was not at all courteous. He walked straight onto the stage, took the two unopened envelopes from Liu Yunhui’s hands, and after confirming they were correct, they both tore open the seals of the envelopes.
Liu Yuxuan did not believe that Ouyang Jun’s presence on stage would change the final outcome of this jadeite gambling game. She coldly watched Huo Sining, her mouth showing a disdainful and mocking smile.
Ouyang Jun pulled out Liu Yuxuan’s answer and glanced at it before looking at the audience below with a bland smile, "Miss Liu Yuxuan’s answer is, from Ice-type to Glass-type variant, from Smart Sun Green to Yang Green. Aside from Worm Jade, Miss Liu Yuxuan guessed everything correctly."
Liu Yuxuan was, of course, extremely satisfied with her answer, and she did not believe that Huo Sining’s answer could be more perfect than hers.
She looked at Huo Sining provocatively, the mockery and contempt clear in her eyes.
The people around heard Liu Yuxuan’s answer and also felt that there was no suspense left in this gambling round. No matter how skilled Huo Sining was, she couldn’t possibly provide an answer more perfect than Liu Yuxuan’s.
Liu Yunhui thought the same, so he casually pulled out Huo Sining’s answer, glanced at it nonchalantly, and prepared to announce the final result.
However, when he saw the words "Worm Jade" on the answer sheet, he froze completely.
