C14 Begin Preliminaries

Although the jade gambling competition was held in advance, it did not affect the liveliness of the competition. The entire Lucky Pavilion was surrounded by a sea of people, and those who looked at the jade wanted to try their luck.

The preliminaries had already started on the ten arenas. Only after going through layers of selections and competitions would it be possible to participate in the final Grand Prix competition. Almost everyone was aiming for the first place position in the Lucky Pavilion.

At the start of the preliminary competition, Wen Qingqing looked at the entrance of the Lucky Pavilion with both annoyance and anticipation. Yun Feixue had left just like that? Could it be because he had reneged on this intentional act?

The more Wen Qingqing thought about it, the more she felt that it was true, and the more she thought about it, the more she lost her temper.

Only Xiao Wuye was laughing in the dark. Without Yun Feixue, just Wenqing would not pose any threat to him, so he was sure to be the first in this gambling house.

Just as the whole family was celebrating, Wen Qingqing saw the figure she had been looking forward to for a long time. That's right, Yun Feixue had finally returned.

But who was the woman beside him?

They only saw Yun Feixue talking and laughing with her, while the two of them seemed to be happily chatting. At this moment, the already filled with anger, Wen Qingqing, had completely erupted into an uproar.

Didn't I say that you went to find a woman to do whatever you were in a hurry to do?

Although I, Wen Qingqing, have yet to marry you, at any rate, this huge Hidden Dragon City knows that our marriage is already decided. Since you brazenly brought a woman to the Fortune Tower, then where is I, Wen Qingqing?

A woman's way of thinking was truly magical. Just from seeing Yun Feixue and Xue Siyu's first glance, countless guesses and possibilities had already popped out in Wen Qingqing's mind. Furthermore, she herself had completely taken them seriously.

"Yun Feixue!" A furious roar rushed towards Yun Feixue, and right after, Wen Qingqing walked over and slapped him.

The clear sound welcomed the astonished gazes of countless people. However, when they saw Wen Qingqing's furious face that was on the verge of twisting, everyone subconsciously turned their heads, pretending that they didn't see anything.

"You … Why did you hit me? " Yun Feixue covered his left cheek in surprise.

"You still have the face to say, who is this woman?" Wen Qingqing pointed at Xue Siyu and said angrily.

Just as Wen Qingqing was about to extend her finger, Yun Feixue clearly felt several powerful presences moving around him that were so powerful that it was suffocating. Yun Feixue felt the hairs on his body standing up and at the same time, Wen Qingxue also sensed the strange changes in his surroundings.

"Everyone stop …" With a light shout from Xue Siyu, the oppressive aura around her disappeared without a trace.

Then, Xue Siyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid this lady has misunderstood something. I just happened to pass by and saw Young Master Yun. Coincidentally, I was also participating in the jade wager so I came along with you."

"You're also participating in the jade gambling event, you …"

"Oh, I'm Xue Siyu from Bingcheng. Please give me your guidance!" Xue Siyu extended her friendly right hand.

"You are Xue Siyu?" Wen Qingqing looked at this gorgeous lady with astonishment. She had to admit that most women would feel inferior in front of Xue Siyu. Fortunately, Wen Qingqing was somewhat confident in her looks. At least she wasn't any worse than Xue Siyu.

"What stage has the competition reached?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Yun Feixue hurriedly changed the topic and asked.

"The preliminaries are about to end. The top 20 of each of the ten arenas will begin the final match!" Wen Qingqing said anxiously.

"Where are the rules?" Yun Feixue continued to ask.

"I don't know the rules either. Everyone can only enter one place at a time, so I'm afraid most people won't be as simple as that!" Outside the house, one could see countless challengers lined up in a long line. It was just that the preliminary round was almost over, and there weren't many people left.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked out from the house at the end of the alley. He was Hu Yong, the person that Xiao Wuye had invited.

He was in high spirits, and had obviously passed the preliminaries with ease. The others, on the other hand, were sighing helplessly and shaking their heads.

Hu Yong surveyed his surroundings. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Yun Feixue. His confident gaze immediately disappeared without a trace. He quickly walked to the middle of the group not far away.

"Young Master Xiao, it looks like you failed to stop Yun Feixue!" Hu Yong said to Xiao Wuye, who was standing in front of him.

"What?" Xiao Wuye seemed to not have reacted, but when he saw Yun Feixue standing there, he was stunned.

Yun Feixue was actually fine, the people he instructed did not manage to settle the matter well?

However, this was impossible. Yun Feixue did not even have the chance to call over experts. It would be very difficult for a single Uncle Fu to resist so many experts by his side. What was going on?

"Then... Was that Xue Siyu? is she with Yun Feixue? " Xiao Wuye could not believe his own eyes.

After calming himself down, he walked in the direction of Yun Feixue. "Princess Xue, how have you been?!"

Seeing Xiao Wuye walk over, a trace of disgust instantly flashed across Xue Siyu's face: "Xiao Wuye, are we very familiar with each other?"

Xue Siyu's words immediately caused Xiao Wuye to feel awkward. 'If I'm not familiar with you, can you directly call out my name?' However, he did not bother with it and turned to look at Yun Feixue.

"Looks like Young Master Yun is determined to win this jade gambling competition!"

"I don't dare. If you can deal with an expert like Hu Yong, then it's hard to say who will win."

"Young Master Yun is being modest, but I have to remind you that although you managed to escape this time, it is not always possible to do so. Therefore, I advise you to not put too much emphasis on first place in this jade contest, because you will not be able to meet Princess Xue everyday in this Hidden Dragon City!" Xiao Wuye gave Yun Feixue a deep look, then turned around and left bitterly. Only Yun Feixue's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Yun Feixue had already guessed that it was Xiao Wuye. Based on his personality, it was very likely that he was the one who had caused the Plum Flowers Manor to make a move on him. Now it seemed that it was indeed the case.

"Do you know Xiao Wuye as well?" Yun Feixue did not continue to pester her and instead asked Xue Siyu, who was standing to the side.

"Mn, Xiao Wuye cultivated in our Bingcheng for a period of time, but this person is truly annoying. He's completely unlike Young Master Yun who is filled with righteousness!" Xue Siyu was not stingy with her praise.

At the side, Wen Qingqing suddenly wondered if her ears were broken. Yun Feixue, a righteous man?

Are you kidding me? If he was a gentleman, then everyone in this world would have been reincarnated as an immortal!

"That's because you don't understand his insides!" Wen Qingqing sneered and said.

"What, is his innermost self even more fascinating?" Xue Siyu's face flickered with an indistinct trace of anticipation.

Wen Qingqing was simply speechless. It was said that Xue Siyu's talent was unrivalled, right? Could it be that the heavens had closed down one of her units of intelligence while she was cultivating?

"Alright, you just wait here. I'll go in and see what kind of competition it is. Will Princess Snow come with me or go to another group?" Yun Feixue said.

"This... I'll go in with you. Anyway, I came to Hidden Dragon City for some other reason, and this jade bet is just for the convenience. It doesn't matter if I win or not, let me have a look at Young Master Yun's jade bet. Xue Siyu said with a smile. Her crescent moon-like eyes truly made it so that men couldn't resist at all. Yun Feixue quickly avoided her smile, which was the same smile as the emissary's. Otherwise, this Miss Wen would go crazy again.

"I'm going too …" Wen Qingqing said.

"Ugh …" "I'm sorry, but the preliminaries only allow one person to enter at a time. This …"

"It's alright. Let the three of them in!" The people in the room seemed to know the identities of Yun Feixue and the others, so they did not make things difficult for them.

There were three people inside, a man sitting at a table, and two young men standing on either side of him.

"This commoner pays his respects to Princess Bingcheng, Miss Wen, and Young Master Yun!" Seeing that someone had entered, he hurriedly stood up and bowed towards Yun Feixue and the other two.

"There's no need to be so courteous, just follow the rules and follow the rules!" Xue Siyu said indifferently.

"Yes sir!" Then, he pointed at the sparkling and translucent jade on the table and said, "There are ten pieces of jade here. You need to find the treasure within the shortest amount of time. The shortest amount of time is the winner."

"This challenge is interesting. I wonder how long the fastest one has been!" Xue Siyu's eyes lit up.

The man stared at the notes on the table and said, "One minute twenty seconds."

"Wow, so fast?" Xue Siyu asked in surprise.

One had to know that the selectivity of these ten pieces of jade stone was too great. Each piece of jade stone was almost exactly the same. If one did not have a good research knowledge on jade stones and had a strong eyesight, it would be extremely difficult to determine which piece of jade contained a treasure.

A minute and twenty seconds of confirmation was equivalent to eight seconds of observation per piece of jade. In such a short period of confirmation, the person had to be a jade gambler as well.

"Let the three of you begin …" The man turned the hourglass beside him upside down and started counting.

Yun Feixue was not too surprised. Although this kind of speed was also very fast, it was still inferior to his ability to see jade. On the other hand, Xue Siyu and Wen Qingqing's eyes were tightly staring at the ten pieces of jade and wanted to see through it.

Yun Feixue looked around the table. After only half a minute, he suddenly said, "The timing can be stopped."

The two supervisors beside him stopped the hourglass. The time was exactly thirty seconds. The five of them stared at Yun Feixue in amazement. "You've confirmed it so quickly?"

"This area on the far side, the rest of the jade is completely empty!" Yun Feixue pointed to the leftmost piece of jade.

"Wow, are you sure? That piece of jade doesn't look like there's anything inside!" Xue Siyu said with a doubtful tone.

"Please open the jade!" Yun Feixue said with a smile.
