Chapter 1428 Chen Xuan's Choice
"Congratulations to the Ma family. Three jade rough stones yielded jade worth 8.6 million. Congratulations!" the host exclaimed excitedly.
Even he rarely witnessed such a scene.
"Clap clap clap clap!"
Many in the audience applauded and cheered for the Ma family.
"Qin family, I hope you can surpass us."
Ma Erdao sneered.
Qin Ling said nothing, but looked at Master Zhou and Master Ma, saying, "I think it's best to let Mr. Chen go with you."
He felt that Chen Xuan might be a variable, and the strength of Master Zhou and Master Ma alone was really not enough.
Master Zhou was very displeased but nodded, and warned, "Kid, you'd better not cause trouble. If we lose, don't blame me for being rude."
The reason for keeping Chen Xuan was that Master Zhou had also seen the situation clearly. Their probability of losing was too high. If they brought Chen Xuan along, they could let Chen Xuan take the blame if they lost.
"Then I'll trouble Master Zhou, Master Ma, and Mr. Chen!"
Qin Ling stood up and bowed to the three, his expression extremely solemn.
The outcome of the Treasure Contest was crucial for the Qin family's establishment in the capital within three years, and everything depended on Master Zhou, Master Ma, and Chen Xuan.
How could he not be solemn?
"We have witnessed the demeanor of the Ma family's gambling stone master. I wonder what wonderful performance the Qin family will bring us?"
The host paused for a moment and said solemnly, "Next, please welcome the Qin family's gambling stone master!"
Before the words fell, Chen Xuan, Master Zhou, and Master Ma walked towards the center of the stage.
The host seemed a little surprised by Chen Xuan's appearance: "In previous years, the Qin family would send Master Zhou and Master Ma. This year, they have invited another gambling stone master. I wonder if he will bring us a wonderful performance."
Qin Xuelan's expression was unusual. She never expected Chen Xuan to participate.
As for Wei Linlin, Tian Shijie, and others, they were all cheering for Chen Xuan. They believed in Chen Xuan unconditionally and believed that Chen Xuan could turn the tide!
In the middle of the stage, jade rough stones were placed all over the tables and the ground.
Chen Xuan's spiritual sense probed out, and he could see clearly what kind of water, what could be cut, inside all the jade rough stones.
As soon as they stepped onto the stage, Master Zhou and Master Ma seemed to have prepared, and walked towards a pile of jade rough stones with great tacit understanding. They were discussing and selecting jade rough stones.
Chen Xuan glanced at them and found that the jade rough stones they were looking for were all of good quality. He didn't say anything.
He, on the other hand, strolled leisurely, stopping and looking around, appearing more like someone visiting a market.
"Hahaha, this kid is not a gambling stone master at all!"
Ma Erdao immediately saw that Chen Xuan didn't understand gambling stones at all and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After suffering losses at Chen Xuan's hands twice in a row, Ma Erdao was a little wary of Chen Xuan, but now he saw that Chen Xuan didn't understand gambling stones at all, so he was completely relieved.
He knew better than anyone else the capabilities of Master Zhou and Master Ma. If there were no accidents this time, they were bound to win!
With this thought, Ma Erdao grinned, his eyes filled with excitement, as if fantasizing about winning the Treasure Contest...
The time for selecting gambling stones usually depends on the number of jade rough stones present. At this moment, there were over a hundred jade rough stones present, giving both sides half an hour. This time was not ample. If it were an ordinary gambling stone master, they might not even finish selecting half of them before time ran out.
However, Master Zhou and Master Ma were clearly experienced and had keen eyes. They quickly selected three jade rough stones. The skin of these three jade rough stones was very good, indicating that they were stones that could yield good quality jade.
At this moment, Chen Xuan picked up a stone and walked over: "Add this one."
"Kid, what do you mean by this?"
Master Zhou frowned.
"Isn't it three jade rough stones in total? I choose this one," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"This one?"
Master Zhou looked at the jade rough stone and sneered, "Chen Xuan, when did you become qualified to choose jade rough stones?"
"Since I'm participating, I am naturally qualified," Chen Xuan said confidently.
"Kid, do you know that the jade rough stone you chose is trash that the Ma family threw away? If we pick it up now, it would mean we are choosing their trash?" Master Zhou sneered.
Master Ma advised, "Mr. Chen, Master Zhou doesn't mean it that way. Don't take it to heart."
"Since the Ma family has eliminated this jade rough stone, it is obvious that the skin of this jade rough stone is not very good. We think so too."
Master Zhou also nodded and snorted, "Kid, quickly throw back the trash you picked."
Trash?
You are the one who picked trash!
"Let me tell you, if you don't choose this one, you will definitely lose this time, and the one you chose is a waste stone!"
Chen Xuan pointed at a jade rough stone that Master Zhou was very optimistic about and said.
"What? A waste stone?"
Master Zhou was stunned and said, "When has this old Zhou ever picked a waste stone? You haven't inquired about it!"
In recent years, Master Zhou had never selected a jade rough stone in public that did not show green. How could he pick a waste stone in such an important occasion?
The surrounding audience was also amused. Such a big conflict occurred in the Qin family's competition midway. They were doomed to lose!
Qin Ling regretted it immensely. Not only would they be disgraced, but they would also lose the competition. He should not have let Chen Xuan participate.
The Ma family members were even more delighted, feeling it was a sure win!
Ma Feng frowned and said, "Second Uncle, that kid is so fond of the jade rough stone we threw away. Could it really yield good goods?"
Ma Erdao sneered, "You and I have both seen that jade rough stone. Even if it can yield good jade rough stones, the value won't be very high."
"That's true."
Ma Feng nodded, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.
Could that stone really have some problem?
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. I'll give up the jade rough stone I chose, alright?" Master Ma hurriedly said, seeing that the matter was escalating.
It wasn't that he insisted on helping Chen Xuan, but he felt that the jade rough stone he chose was not as good as he had imagined.
"Old Ma..."
"Forget it, the winning chances aren't that high anyway."
Master Zhou looked at Chen Xuan and snorted, "Kid, when we open the jade rough stones later, open your eyes and see clearly if this is a jade rough stone!"
"Also, if we lose today, you will be held fully responsible!"
"Alright, I will open my eyes and see clearly. If we lose the Treasure Contest because of me, I, Chen Xuan, will bear all the responsibility. This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, his brows filled with immense confidence.
