Tian Sheng was Tian Chen's older brother, and was also the most outstanding genius in this generation of Tian Family. Just like Shui Yuyan, both the cultivation and stone gambling fields had very high attainments in these areas.
Shui Yuyan walked out and headed towards the stage. After a period of rest, she had completely recovered.
Tian Sheng went up on stage and the two of them bowed to each other.
"Why do you think the Shui family dares to challenge the Tian Family?" Hua Ruge asked Tuoba Rui once.
Tuoba Rui covered the teacup in his hand and said, "Ever since the battle with you, regardless of whether it's the reputation of the Shui Family or the strength of their family, they have been declining constantly. They need to raise their reputation and status."
Hua Ruge nodded his head, "They sure are confident in Shui Yuyan."
"I'm not completely confident. In my opinion, there's no other way." Tuoba Rui said again.
Hearing that, Hua Ruge squinted his eyes, it was not impossible, but what exactly was it that made him have to gamble this time?
It shouldn't be just about external worries.
"You mean the Shui family is a bit unstable?" Hua Ruge asked.
Tuoba Rui nodded his head, "I think there might be a way to investigate."
"When I go back and ask mother, I really haven't investigated their family yet." Hua Ruge was more concerned with this now. If there really was an internal problem, the Shui family would be much easier to deal with than she imagined.
As the two finished speaking, they cast their gazes towards the stage, only to see the both of them carefully choosing a stone. Because both of these were related to the reputation and status of the clan, they had no choice but to be cautious.
The people below were also extremely focused. After all, they could barely see Tian Sheng make a move, and after all, they could see him and Shui Yuyan's battle. Naturally, they wanted to know the final result.
Hua Ruge leaned on his chair, and released his divine sense to check the rock they were uncertain about, to guess their strength, and the outcome of the battle.
Only after a full hour had passed did the two of them pick out seven to eight stones, and then filter through them.
They still spent a lot of time on the last few stones. Hua Ruge had almost fallen asleep when he heard the last words of Young Master Tian Family.
Shui Yuyan had also chosen it beforehand, so the next step was to gamble.
"We, the Shui Family, came out from the mine every twenty years, what do you think about Tian Family?" Shui Yuyan spoke first.
One could tell that Tian Sheng was someone who could make decisions on his own, thus, he nodded: "Of course you can."
After discussing the wager, Stone Cutter started to cut the rock, but since he was dealing with the two's rock, Master was even more careful.
Hua Ruge leaned against the chair, his eyes slightly squinted, looking to be deep in thought.
Below, everyone was staring at the blade in Stone Cutter's hand. When the first blade went down, two rays of light shot up into the sky, and after cutting it open, they discovered that they were two Exquisite Spirit Crystal s, both of them were yellow. Although their value was high, to the two of them, it was not anything astonishing.
When the first piece was basically flattened, Stone Cutter started to cut the second piece, which still had all the light, and Tian Sheng's piece which was a green level Exquisite Spirit Crystal and Shui Yuyan's was just an ordinary Exquisite Spirit Crystal, thus the other side had the upper hand.
Shui Yuyan tensed up, and like everyone else, stared at the third stone.
Before the blade fell, other than Hua Ruge, no one present knew what it looked like.
The Stone Cutter finally made his move. As the blade fell, the blue light on Shui Yuyan's side soared to the sky. He was a rare blue level Exquisite Spirit Crystal, its value was much higher than green level.
Just like the last piece Shui Yuyan had, they were all top quality spirit stones that were quick and common.
The people below had an eye-opener now, the two of them had revealed six Exquisite Spirit Crystal s, how strong were they, and it seemed like the two of them were evenly matched, just that Shui Yuyan's luck was slightly better.
Shui Yuyan was overjoyed in his heart, but he still told Tian Sheng in a restrained manner, "Brother Shi, you have let me win."
"You're too polite, it was you who were capable." Although Tian Sheng had lost, he only frowned and was not very disappointed.0
On the side of the Tian Family, although there were many people who regretted it, Patriarch Tian's expression did not change at all. She started laughing at the end and said, "Niece of the Shui Family is indeed worthy of being called the great disciple of Beidou Pavilion.
As he spoke, he called for people to send the land deed for the house over.
Tian Sheng bowed, then returned to the seating area of the Tian Family. After sitting down, he quietly said to the Patriarch Tian: "Father, I'm sorry."
"Since luck is involved in this gamble, there's no need to take it to heart." Patriarch Tian comforted him instead.
Their Tian Family had long ago become untouchable within this Falling Moon City. Losing in would just be losing a little face, and getting shouted at by others, as long as they saw through it, it wouldn't matter.
Tian Sheng nodded and did not say anything else.
As a result, the Shui Family received more than a few mines and shops. This time, it was not only sufficient to distribute among the Five Great Clans, but also received a lot of good reputation. Moreover, the Zhan Jia had already fallen. It was likely that after this stone gambling, the Shui Family would become the second largest clan in the Falling Moon City.
Shui Xiaoze was very happy, he immediately ordered some people to send news back home to Shui Zhenyun.
Shui Yutong saw that Shui Yuyan had returned, and laughed while praising him: "Big sister is truly amazing, even Young Master Tian Family is not your opponent. You didn't know that when that spirit crystal light landed on your body, you were just like a fairy, everyone was looking at you."
"Is that so?" Hearing that, Shui Yuyan's face revealed a smile, and he looked towards Tuoba Rui's direction.
I wonder if he looked at me?
In the end, when she looked over, she just saw Tuoba Rui peeling an orange while Hua Ruge was leaning on a chair to the side, he sent the pieces of orange into her mouth. In place of her satisfied smile, his eyes were filled with love and gentleness.
Therefore, Shui Yuyan's previous joyful mood immediately sank, as if a bottle of vinegar had overturned in her heart. However, she only realised that she was not qualified to be jealous because she wanted to get angry, and this kind of feeling made her crumble.
On the other side, Hua Ruge was planning his next move in a relaxed manner. In the end, he felt a wave of resentment envelop him, and when he raised his head, it was indeed from Shui Yuyan.
Therefore, she looked at Shui Yuyan and then looked at Tuoba Rui.
"What are you thinking about?" Tuoba Rui's attention was only on her, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to anything else.
Hua Ruge thought for a while and said: "This kind of appearance is really too pleasing to the eyes. It's best to stay at home more in the future."
It didn't feel good to have her own man in the spotlight.
"Same here." Tuoba Rui replied indifferently.
He still felt that it wasn't safe to let her out, but she didn't know to reflect on it. Even if she didn't go out, she still liked to make friends, so she came into contact with many more people than him.
