Zhou Shu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I want to sell it, but I have to buy it back. This is the rule."
"The rule?"
Wutian was puzzled. This was a forced purchase. How could it be a rule?
Zhou Shu explained, "You don't know. Because the Mysterious Soul Power is too precious, whether it is in Tengoku or the Sea of Stars, there is a written rule that once the Mysterious Soul Power is found, the Mysterious Soul Stone must be sold to the other party."
Wutian suddenly understood and said, "I guess this rule was first proposed by Tianbaoge Hall!"
"Brother, you really have a unique insight."
Zhou Shu immediately gave him a thumbs-up and nodded, "Yes, at first, it was because the first Chief Pavilion Master wanted to ensure the greatest interests of Tianbaoge Hall, so he made this rule."
Wutian asked, "Then what's with the Mysterious Soul Stone gambling?"
"This was also thought of by the first Pavilion Master. At first, it was just a way for people to pass the time. Who would have thought that as time passed, it would become a kind of custom. You haven't been to Heavenly Treasure City, but you'll know once you go. Stone gambling is a big specialty of Heavenly Treasure City. Anyone who goes to Heavenly Treasure City will give it a try. Some people become rich overnight because of stone gambling, and some people lose everything because of stone gambling, "Zhou Shu said.
Wutian asked again, "Then why is there no stone gambling in the four major regions?"
Zhou Shu explained, "First, it's because the Mysterious Soul Stone can only be found in the Sea of Stars. In the four major regions, except for the Divine Realm Guardians and the Masters, the strongest is no more than a Great Emperor. How dare they come to the Sea of Stars? Second, because only people in Tengoku have enough capital to gamble. Similarly, Tianbaoge Hall can earn more benefits. "
Wutian nodded. It turned out that the custom of stone gambling had not spread to the four major regions because of this.
Unknowingly, the two came to the crossroads again, but they did not turn. Instead, they walked straight to the opposite street. The black-clothed man from the Exchange was still following them.
Dozens of breaths later, the two finally found Chunyi House and walked in side by side.
Within the main hall, guests were as numerous as the clouds, and the sound of laughter and chatter was extremely noisy.
At the center of the stage, there was a stage that was about 300 meters wide. Several seductive women in revealing clothes were swaying their sexy waists, causing the audience to cheer.
A waiter walked up and asked with a flattering smile, "Young Masters, would you like to have a meal or stay the night?"
Wutian: "We're meeting someone at the Spring Pavilion."
"So you are the honored guests of the Spring Pavilion. Young Masters, please follow me."
The shop assistant led the way in front while Wutian and the other two followed behind. Soon, they arrived in front of the door with the words' Spring Pavilion 'engraved on it. The shop assistant knocked on the door and said, "Young Masters and Young Misses, two Young Masters have come to look for you."
"Let them in."
Her Highness Xuelan's clear and melodious voice rang out.
The waiter pushed the door open and stepped aside. After Wutian and the young man entered, he closed the door and strode away.
Inside the room, Her Highness Xuelan and Huangfu Mingzhu sat opposite each other before the tea table, leisurely tasting the fragrant tea that seeped into their hearts.
Ni Yeye, Lu Yuan, and Qu Sheng sat around the table and drank to their heart's content.
Seeing the two enter, Ni Yeye asked, "How was it? Did you find any treasures? "
"We didn't find any treasures, but I made a small bet with Wutian."
Zhou Shu chuckled and sat right next to Ni Yeye. He picked up a wine pot and drank it all in one gulp. Then, he said, "Great!"
Wutian walked to the tea table and sat down. He took out a teacup and filled it to the brim, savoring it bit by bit.
Hearing the word 'bet', Ni Yeye and the other two's eyes lit up. Lu Yuan asked, "How was it?"
Ni Yeye said, "Isn't that obvious? Just look at his smug face. It must have been a good result."
"The one who knows me best is Little Yeye!" Zhou Shu laughed and said, "Mingzhu, the walls have ears. Please set up a divine power barrier."
Then, he signaled outside with his eyes.
Huangfu Mingzhu understood. Her divine power gushed out and filled the room, preventing all divine sense from peeping and eavesdropping.
Then, Zhou Shu, Ni Yeye, and Lu Yuan whispered to each other, and a sinister smile crept onto his face. Huangfu Mingzhu and Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
Huangfu Mingzhu turned to Wutian and said, "You bet too?"
Wutian smiled faintly and said, "I'm just watching from the side."
"I'm telling you, don't bet on stones with Zhou Shu in the future." Huangfu Mingzhu warned.
Zhou Shu, who was chatting enthusiastically, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mingzhu, I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense."
"If you still want to go to the Central Sea, don't interrupt." Huangfu Mingzhu turned to look at him with a threatening gaze. Zhou Shu pursed his lips and said, "You haven't even married Wutian yet and you're already worried that he'll be taken advantage of. Truly, a grown girl can't be kept at home."
Hearing the words "a grown girl can't be kept at home," Huangfu Mingzhu's face suddenly turned cold and said, "Do you believe that I won't tear your mouth apart?"
Ni Yeye said sarcastically, "Zhou Shu, don't say anymore. Sister Mingzhu is now suffering from Qi Deviation and is beyond cure. She won't listen to you no matter what you say. Hurry up and discuss tomorrow's bet carefully."
"Makes sense."
Zhou Shu nodded. Then, he gathered with the other three and whispered to each other, treating Wutian and the other two like air.
Huangfu Mingzhu looked at Wutian and continued, "You don't know, but Zhou Shu can actually know in advance whether there's Profound Soul Power in the Profound Soul Stone."
"There's such a thing?" Wutian was surprised.
"Yes."
Huangfu Mingzhu nodded and said, "It's said that not long after the first Chief Pavilion Master proposed the method of stone gambling, he comprehended a divine power that can see through Profound Soul Stones and passed it down. You'll definitely lose if you bet with him. In the past, even a disciple of a noble family like Wu Yong suffered a great loss in Zhou Shu's hands. It's just that not many people in the Celestial realm know about this. "
Wutian suddenly realized and looked at Zhou Shu with a strange look. It turned out that all the worries this guy showed in the trading house were just an act to get everyone to place more bets.
At this time, Her Highness Xuelan said, "Wutian, it's good that you know about this. Don't leak it out."
"Don't worry, I still have this bit of common sense. Besides, I can't afford to offend Tianbaoge Hall," Wutian smiled and asked curiously, "How many people in the Celestial realm know about this?"
"The few of us and our parents," Huangfu Mingzhu said.
Hearing this, Wutian couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's bet.
At the exchange.
In a certain room, Young Master Ximen leaned against a chair, and a man in black knelt on one knee in front of him.
Young Master Ximen said, "Apart from them being in the Spring Yi Restaurant, what else did you find out?"
The man in black said, "I'm incompetent. Their cultivation is profound and their awareness of danger is very strong. I didn't dare to get too close, but I've already told the waiter of the Spring Yi Restaurant to secretly monitor them."
Young Master Ximen said, "These people's strength is not bad. I don't think the waiter can find out anything, but I want to know their whereabouts at any time and place. If they plan to escape, you know what to do!"
The man in black nodded and said, "I understand. I'll arrange it immediately."
Young Master Ximen said, "Also, spread the news of tomorrow's bet."
"Yes."
The man in black bowed and left.
"No matter how strong you are, I'll make you spit out twice as much as you swallowed today."
Young Master Ximen sneered.
Soon, the news of tomorrow's big bet at the exchange spread like a hurricane in the second camp. Everyone was rubbing their hands, ready to make a big profit.
Similarly, the news of Wutian and Zhou Shu's great victory at the exchange spread like wildfire. In just half a day, everyone in the second camp knew. They couldn't help but sigh. The two of them had a one in a hundred chance of winning. Their luck was too heaven-defying.
In the Spring Pavilion, after Zhou Shu, Ni Yeye, and the others had finished their discussion, they generously took out the spoils of war and distributed them to everyone. Apart from Her Highness Xue Lan, no one refused to reap the benefits of sitting back and doing nothing.
However, when dividing the spoils, Wutian remembered another thing, which was the three Martial God Abilities he got from Shi Zhou.
When he asked Little Wu Hao, he learned that the three Martial God Abilities had been given to Tian Gang to comprehend.
Among the three Martial God Abilities, one was a speed Martial God Ability, which was basically comparable to Ni Yeye's Ethereal Steps. The other two were killing Martial God Abilities, which were quite powerful.
Wutian naturally didn't have any complaints about this.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, before the sun had even risen, the trading center was already packed with people and clamoring.
When the sun rose, Wutian and the others, who had rested for the night in the Spring Pavilion, opened their eyes one after another. They were full of energy.
"The sky is clear and the sun is bright. Such good weather is perfect for stone gambling. I wonder how much we can win today."
Opening the window, Zhou Shu looked at the rising sun on the horizon and smiled evilly. He turned and walked out of the room with Wutian and the others.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Spring Pavilion, there were already a dozen people waiting there. Among them was the black-clothed man who followed them yesterday.
Her Highness Xuelan raised her eyebrow and said, "What's going on?"
The black-clothed man stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Ladies, Young Master, this lowly one is here on the order of Young Master Ximen to welcome you."
"Haha, nice words, but what you're really worried about is that we'll run away!" Ni Yeye sneered.
"Since you already know, then there's no need for nonsense. Ladies and gentlemen, please!" The black-clothed man sneered and took two steps back. With a wave of his hand, the other dozen people also stepped aside, creating a three-meter-long passage.
Ni Yeye joked, "Sisters, it seems that you won't be leaving for a while."
Her Highness Xuelan had already said in advance that she and Huangfu Mingzhu would wait for them outside the camp because they had no interest in stone gambling. But now, it seemed that they had to go.
"Then let's go have a look."
Her Highness Xue Lan said indifferently. She then led the group to the trading house.
The black-clothed man and the others followed closely behind, followed by a large group of people who wanted to join in the fun. It was very noisy.
