Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 202: Little Tricks

[Brother Yuan, are there any good stones on this floor?] Shen Xu transmitted.

[There are none as good as the one we found on the first floor. However, there are still five or six particularly good ones.]

Shen Xu was excited when he heard this.

Although he didn’t know if they could use all the treasures in the stones, he didn’t care.

After all, the treasures that couldn’t be used could be sold for spirit stones.

Thinking they needed to make a lot of preparations before entering the Yunshan secret realm, his eyes shone as he looked at the surrounding stones.

"I will call Master Wang." Guan Ying said and hurried away.

’Is she worried we will regret our decision?’ The double wondered and subconsciously chuckled.

’She is thinking too much. How can we let go of a sheep that has willingly delivered itself to be fleeced?’

"Formation master Xu, alchemists Yuan, you have to think carefully." Zhao Fei reminded in a worried voice.

Knowing Master Wang’s skill in identifying stones, she felt the couple was making a wrong decision.

If things continued as they were, they would surely lose their army and wife.

On the other hand, Tan Cheng was a little excited.

He had always been suspicious of Yuan Shen and Xu Zhen.

However, they hadn’t revealed any flaws, and their Tan family had been unable to grasp their handle.

He felt he was in luck this time around.

When Yuan Shen and Xu Zhen lost the gamble, he would step in and handle the matter.

After that, the two would owe him and the Tan family.

’It’s easy to incur a favour, but it’s difficult to repay one.’ He thought.

Soon after, Master Wang and several spectators followed Guan Ying to the waiting four.

At a glance, Master Wang didn’t look happy.

After all, he was a renowned master.

With his status, how could he be happy about being asked to fight against two juniors?

Most importantly, his young lady asked him to intentionally lose the first game.

Thinking of this, Master Wang glared at the two culprits, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

’How can I be so humiliated if it wasn’t for these two?’ He thought.

No matter the outcome of the gamble, he had already decided to kill the two people.

After negotiating the rules and restrictions, the game started.

However, Master Wang didn’t immediately begin searching for good stones.

Instead, he watched Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

[They plan to let us win the first game.] Zhen Yuan transmitted, and Shen Xu nodded.

[I know.] freewebnσvel.cѳm

Shen Xu almost rolled his eyes.

The cultivation world was brutal and more dangerous than modern Earth.

However, people mostly killed each other and spent less time devising schemes.

On the contrary, modern Earth was superficially peaceful, but people spent a lot of time devising schemes.

What kind of scam had Shen Xu not witnessed or heard of?

’Guan Ying’s little trick is child’s play compared to what was happening on Earth.’ He thought.

[If we lose the gamble, we only have to pay for the set stones in the round we won. Since they have decided to let us win the first game, Master Wang will probably choose expensive stones for this round.] Shen Xu said, and Zhen Yuan hummed in agreement.

[Just let them. They are the ones who will suffer in the end.]

After that, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu pretended to study the stones.

An incense stick later, they had chosen the first round of fifteen stones.

Similarly, Master Wang had chosen his stones, and his choices were as expected.

At a glance, the stones he chose were either worth hundreds of thousands or millions of spirit stones.

’Good.’ Shen Xu thought and unconsciously smiled.

For this gamble, Guan Ying hired two stone cutters.

At this time, the stone cutters looked at each other and reached for the first stones.

"The first stone is about to be cut." A spectator excitedly shouted.

Hearing this, his friend rolled his eyes and looked at him in disdain.

"We all have eyes and can see."

"Who do you think has the better stone?"

"It has to be Master Wang."

"I also think it’s master Wang."

"What do you know...." One of the spectators sneered.

He was as naïve as his fellows.

Although Master Wang was more skilled, he definitely could not win the first round.

Since the young Miss Guan wanted to crush the opponents, she would not give them a chance to withdraw from the gamble.

By letting them win the first game, she was giving them false hope.

That way, after losing the second round, they would still think they had a chance to win the final round.

’It’s a simple trick, but it’s effective.’ The spectator thought, looking at Yuan Shen and Xu Zhen in disdain.

Soon after, the stone cutters revealed the first stones.

Master Wang got a level five weapon, and the opponent got a twenty years qi gathering grass.

"Master Wang has the better stone." The hired judge ruled.

"Do you object?" He asked the two sides, and everyone shook their heads.

"Open the next stone."

Ten stones were opened in this way.

Unsurprisingly, Zhen Yuan won the first round with six stones to four.

However, none of the treasures he got were particularly precious.

Nevertheless, he was forced to sell four out of his ten items.

But Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t care.

Before the game started, they already knew what would happen if they unearthed valuable items.

Because of this, their best stones were designated among the five that could be bought without cutting.

"Master Wang actually lost." Someone whispered, looking at Master Wang with a surprised expression.

Seeing the look, Master Wang frowned and subconsciously clenched his hands.

’I must repay this humiliation.’ He thought with a determined look.

’I will crush those two to tell everyone that my reputation is not for show.’

Unfortunately, he thought well, but were Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu willing to cooperate?
