(Fifth chapter, update complete!)
"This … Alright then." Senior Brother Bitter's face stiffened. Although he was on Lin Yi's side, even he did not think that Lin Yi would be able to dig out more than three pieces of good jade in Dead Mine No. 10. Meng Jueguang's words were purely to make him lose more and more miserably!
However, even if he was not optimistic about Lin Yi, Senior Brother Bitter had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. This was because today's matter was deliberately instigated by Meng Jueguang. It was no longer a matter of winning or losing. It had evolved into a head-on confrontation between the two factions of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's newcomers.
Meng Jueguang, Meng Tong, and the other newcomers were on one side. Senior Brother Bitter, Lin Yi, and Xiao Ran were on the other side. The battlefield of this confrontation was this gambling house.
Under such circumstances, even if he knew that this gambling house was bound to lose, Senior Brother Bitter could only choose to lose the jade but not the face. Although losing five pieces of spiritual jades was painful for him, in order to maintain the confidence of Lin Yi and the others in him, he could only accept it.
"Senior Brother Bitter, if we lose this time, we will definitely save up the spiritual jades and return them to you in the future!" Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai looked at each other and said to Senior Brother Bitter gratefully.
Although the two of them knew that they had no choice but to gamble in this situation, and there was a ninety-nine percent chance that they would lose, no matter what, Senior Martial Brother Bitter Corner was involved because of the two of them, so the two of them should be the ones to fork out the Spirit Jades. Even if they did not have enough spiritual jades now, they would be able to return them in the future.
"It's meaningless for the two of you to say this. Even if I lose this time, it doesn't matter. No matter what, I am a steward senior brother. I can still afford to lose these few pieces of spiritual jades! And then again, if you support Lin Yi, isn't that equivalent to supporting me? How can I let you pay for it? "Senior Brother Bitter smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, his smile looked bitter.
Five pieces of spiritual jades. For a low-level steward like Senior Martial Brother who had no other means, this was a precious savings that could only be saved up for a few months!
Lin Yi could not help but feel touched when he saw this scene. A friend in need is a friend indeed. It was precisely because of this that Senior Brother, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hongcai were in dire straits. At this time, it was even more precious for them to stand up and support him. If these people had a lot of spiritual jades in their hands, it would not be strange for them to come forward and make this bet with Meng Jueguang.
Just now, when Meng Jueguang was forcing Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, Lin Yi wanted to come forward and stop him. But now that Senior Brother Bitter was here, there was no need to waste too much effort. After all, he was the person involved. He definitely knew how many good jades there were and how many useless ones. At this time, if he participated in the bet directly, he might scare Meng Jueguang away.
Lin Yi immediately smiled. Without saying anything more, he directly carried the basket and weighed it. Then, he sent it to the quality inspection. Today, he was destined to give these people a big surprise!
Everyone was looking forward to it. Soon, the quality inspection officer gave the result, "Lin Yi, 12 pieces of good jade, 7 pieces of useless jade, 20 pieces of garbage jade."
Damn! 12 pieces of good jade!
The whole place was in a complete mess, especially the confident Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong. This time, they were so shocked that they almost fell to the ground.
Senior Brother Ma, the prospecting expert, had clearly promised that there would at most be 30 to 40 pieces of good jade in the No. 10 dead mine. And it would take at least two to three months to dig all of them out!
In other words, under normal circumstances, Lin Yi would be considered lucky if he could dig out one piece of good jade in a day. As for digging out three pieces in a day, that was simply impossible!
Otherwise, Meng Jueguang would not dare to open his mouth and say that the odds were 3 to 10. After that, he even set a bet of 5 to 15. He had predicted that Lin Yi would not be able to dig out three pieces of good jade. That was why he dared to make such a bet!
In the end, he dug out 12 pieces in a day. Instantly, everyone was so shocked that they did not dare to speak!
12 pieces of good jade in a day. What kind of concept was this?
Not only could this instantly beat all of the No. 7 mines under Blue Cloud Pavilion, even Mysterious Pavilion's No. 5 and No. 6 mines would be directly overshadowed. The No. 4 mine was fine, but that was already Mysterious Pavilion's best and highest quality mine!
Taking in everyone's shocked and bewildered expressions, Lin Yi could not help but reveal a mocking smile. In order to verify what he had said to Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong in the morning, he had deliberately hidden three pieces of spiritual jade today. Only then could he justifiably dig out 12 pieces of good jade and blind everyone's dog eyes!
With the previous day's fruitless results as a foundation, Lin Yi had calculated that even if he suddenly exploded today, it would not raise any unwarranted suspicions. At most, they would think that he was just as lucky as before, but this time, his luck was especially explosive.
Compared to the shock and bewilderment of the others, Senior Brother Bitter, Xiao Ran, and Qiao Hongcai were ecstatic. The three of them had originally thought that they would definitely lose this time. Senior Brother Bitter was even prepared to take out the five pieces of spiritual jade in his bosom. They did not expect that Lin Yi would actually give them such an incomparably huge surprise without saying a word!
In this way, not only did Senior Brother Bitter not need to lose five pieces of spiritual jade, according to the previous bet, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai would be able to win 15 pieces of spiritual jade from Meng Jueguang! For the few of them who had long believed that they would lose, this was simply an unexpected windfall. Even if they won the lottery in the secular world, it would not be more than this!
Meng Jueguang looked at the few of them who were overjoyed, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly. At this moment, he even wanted to give himself two slaps. Why did they make a bet with such a cheap mouth? Wasn't it a good thing to watch Lin Yi make a fool of himself? Otherwise, even if he did not watch, he would not have suffered such a huge loss!
15 pieces of spiritual jade, even for the slick Meng Jueguang, this was already a huge sum of money. If he really lost to Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, these two fellows whom he had always disliked, he was afraid that his liver would be in pain for the rest of the month.
"Let's go!" Meng Jueguang quietly gave Meng Tong a meaningful look. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was still in shock to quietly slip away from the crowd. As long as he was not caught on the spot, with his convenient identity as the Senior Brother in charge, he could completely find an excuse to avoid this gambling debt in the future.
However, Lin Yi had been staring at him for a long time. Obviously, he would not let him do as he wished. He immediately said loudly, "Senior Brother Meng, where are you in a hurry to go?"
