Hua Ruge still paid attention to the way he ate at this kind of occasion. Although he always looked as if he was eating, it was still quite elegant due to him slowing down.

Many male disciples from the various clans were looking in this direction, feeling that marrying such a woman was the best they could do.

After Tuoba Rui felt it, he faintly lifted his gaze to glance at the banquet. Even though it seemed to be just a casual glance, those people felt a bone-piercing coldness from his gaze and unconsciously lowered their heads, no longer daring to look in his direction.

Hua Ruge felt all these and raised his head to look at Tuoba Rui, wanting to laugh but was unable to do so.

Tuoba Rui, on the other hand, remained unperturbed as he served her more food: "Eat."

"Alright." Hua Ruge laughed and continued to eat.

This scene was extremely unpleasant for Shui Yuyan. She also lowered her head to eat something, but she could not taste anything at all.

During the banquet, there were many people talking with each other, and in the later stages of the banquet, Hua Ruge also joined in. She was a very sociable person, and was usually good at eating and drinking at such occasions.

However, this time, these people didn't seem to want to talk to her on purpose. They just couldn't find anything wrong with their manners. In fact, their attitude was very subtle.

Hua Ruge gradually began to understand that these people would naturally not dare to offend the Shui family because they knew that she was enemies with the Shui family. Furthermore, she had Tuoba Rui, the distinguished guest of the Beidou Pavilion, by her side, so she did not dare to be too distant.

Seeing that, Tuoba Rui frowned, telling her to sit down obediently and not chat with anyone else.

This was not something that could be changed with just a few nice words. The only thing that could be done was for the Shui Family to completely fall.

Hua Ruge naturally knew this as well, so he obediently sat down and began to chat with Tuoba Rui in a low voice. "You told me how long it would take for these people to start fawning over me?"

When she spoke, there was still a smile on her face. She didn't seem to be depressed by being ignored in the slightest.

The reason why she was able to act so confident was not because of her carefree personality, but because of her absolute confidence.

"I can kill your grandfather." Tuoba Rui said as he raised a finger, "One day."

Hua Ruge swallowed his saliva, thinking that this was a little too harsh.

"If you don't kill someone, you can do it within ten days by relying on your own methods." Tuoba Rui analyzed again.

Hua Ruge then nodded: "You really understand me."

"Of course." Tuoba Rui nodded lightly.

"Let's wait and see a good show." Hua Ruge said as he poured himself a cup of wine, wanting to taste it beautifully.

Seeing that, Tuoba Rui took the wine cup from her hands: You are not allowed to drink.

Hua Ruge had rarely seen him act so tyrannically, so she asked with a little grievance: "Why?"

"Your alcohol tolerance is too low." Tuoba Rui placed the wine cup at his side, and added: "I don't want to stop after drinking it."

Hua Ruge obviously knew that he was like this, hence he was a little afraid and stopped drinking.

When the feast ended, Patriarch Tian announced that this year's stone gambling competition would officially begin. The rules were the same as in previous years, everyone in the competition could choose their opponents to challenge the competition, and both sides could agree on the bet. After that, the disciples under thirty years of age would accept the challenge, and the bet would be three stones.

The majority of the people who were challenged chose to accept the challenge. Hua Ruge glanced over, the first people who would challenge were all from the smaller clans, and the stakes were not high either. All of them would be between two or three mines or two or three shops.

Hua Ruge leaned against the chair, and watched lazily.

This competition would be held for ten days. She felt that she would have to wait until the end before she could make her move.

This competition was extremely shocking to the spectators, but to people like Hua Ruge, who could tell what spirit crystals were inside with a single glance, it was already very boring. Fortunately, she had Tuoba Rui to accompany her, so the two of them could talk.

Although Tuoba Rui didn't talk much, he still liked to talk to her, so the two of them kept on chatting.2

"Do you know how to bet stones?" Hua Ruge tilted his head and asked.

Tuoba Rui shook his head: "I have heard of it, but I have never touched these stones, I wonder if there are any Spirit Crystals inside."

"Then you have less fun. This thing is very exciting." Hua Ruge said with interest.

She was very glad that she was picked up by the miners when she woke up. Being able to deal with these stones in the mines, coupled with her formidable cultivation technique, had allowed her to figure out how to pick and distinguish the rocks.

"Not interested." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.

"Then what are you interested in?" Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows and asked.

Tuoba Rui's gaze fell on her body. "You."

Hua Ruge was startled, then asked: "Then you are definitely not lacking in money, right?"

"Not lacking." Tuoba Rui said, and then continued: "When I came, I took a large amount of Spirit Stones from your bank, which is enough to cover all of my expenses."

Hua Ruge was startled again, he pointed to himself and asked: "My money?"

"Yes." Tuoba Rui nodded. "In the previous territories, no one had more money than you."

Hua Ruge swallowed his saliva, he suddenly really wanted to return to his previous territory and enjoy the feeling of being the richest man in the world.

Looking at her, Tuoba Rui said with a doting smile, "I'll bring you back when Tianhai is at peace."

"Sure." Hua Ruge nodded in anticipation.

Previously, she had thought that she had nothing to worry about, but now, she had thoughts of returning.

Soon, the result of slicing stone appeared on the arena. One of the clans won three stores, and there was a wave of cheers from below.

This afternoon, Hua Ruge thought that it would be a fight between two small clans. He did not expect that a disciple of a small clan from the Shui Clan would actually jump onto the stage, and then face Hua Ruge in the same direction.

Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows as he heard the other party's words, "I wonder if Patriarch Hua dares to accept the challenge from my Shui Family."

This time, it was not only Hua Ruge who was a little shocked, even the other clans did not expect the Shui family to attack Hua Ruge so quickly.

Thus, the gazes of everyone present fell onto Hua Ruge. At this moment, Hua Ruge was holding an apple and nibbling at it.

Seeing that, Hua Ruge put down the apple, wiped his mouth and said indifferently: "I don't."

These words made everyone feel strange. Logically speaking, the two clans were already at loggerheads, and everyone was watching. Even if the stone gambling skills weren't good enough, they should at least brace themselves and go up. But what did they hear?

Hua Ruge actually did not agree? Don't you want some face?

The Shui Clan disciple was also stunned, but he quickly said: "Patriarch Hua, you're on your own. I thought you had some ability, but it turns out you didn't even dare to accept this small competition. It is simply laughable."
