Qiu Yanran has always had smooth sailing, so how could she withstand such looks from everyone? Her little face turned bright red, and she was about to start cursing.
Suddenly, ng Po turned his head and glanced at her. Qiu Yanran felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone, and her entire body froze.
"Godfather..." Qiu Qingran looked at ng Po with worry, softly calling out.
ng Po collected his thoughts and looked at Qiu Qingran, his gaze softening.
"Ranran, take care of Yanran."
With that, ng Po turned his head again, focusing his gaze back on An Yiqing.
"Miss An truly lives up to being Xuanjin’s number one lady. Few can match this cultivation power of clever speech. However, I just wonder if Miss An’s skill in stone gambling is as impressive as her eloquence."
"No need for Mr. ng Po to worry," An Yiqing smiled faintly, "Participating in Country Fei’s Public Disk Map is just for fun. I don’t have that kind of ambition, nor do I have many sches. Personally, I think it’s enough to be happy. Of course, if I could uncover an Emperor Green or sothing like that, it would be quite a joy."
An Yiqing raised her right hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, every gesture expressing calmness and composure.
"Perhaps my thoughts differ from Mr. ng Po. You are the Jade King, naturally your perspective is different from mine as a nobody. There’s a famous person nad Tao Yuanming, who always looked down on fa and wealth, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge. In my view, that kind of realm is what I aim to reach. So things you can’t take with you when you’re born, nor when you die, so why struggle desperately for them?"
An Yiqing’s words were sincere. In her heart, she had always longed for the kind of uncontentious life depicted by Tao Yuanming. That was her aspiration. What she said unintentionally was heard with intention; everyone present began to see An Yiqing differently.
In the circles of the elites and nobles, having such an outlook that sees through the mundane is a highly enviable realm. An Yiqing’s calmness and elegance made everyone look at her in a new light.
Once people start comparing, the losing party suffers. Like now, in everyone’s eyes, An Yiqing is indifferent to fa and fortune, then ng Po, in their minds, becos the ambitious one.
The Jade King hasn’t appeared for ten years, and now that he has, he did so with so anticipation, yet now it was turned into disappointnt.
Originally, people thought the legendary Jade King would be so reclusive master, unexpectedly he turned out to be just an ambitious person.
ng Po certainly didn’t miss the disdain and ridicule in everyone’s eyes, although they didn’t express it outwardly, he wasn’t blind.
"Miss An’s mindset is a realm us mortals can’t reach. I just hope you can maintain this transcendental deanor." ng Po didn’t want to entangle further, directly stating his purpose, "Miss An, I’ve always heard you’re the Jade King of Xuanjin. I wonder if I’m honored enough to compete with you today?"
A gasp could be heard from the crowd, everyone was shocked looking at ng Po. The fad ten gambles out of nine wins Jade King actually challenged an unknown young girl?
Why? Does this girl possess so extraordinary qualities?
An Yiqing, as the party involved, remained calmly, she gazed at ng Po for a while, analyzing his intentions in her mind.
After a mont, An Yiqing slowly nodded.
"The Jade King’s challenge, soone of my insignificance certainly has to accept it. But since it’s a gamble, there has to be a stake. Mr. ng Po, have you decided your stake?"
"Of course!" ng Po clasped his hands behind his back, slightly raising his chin, showing a disdain for everything. It belongs to the strong, a scorn from the strong, a firmness and confidence from the strong.
"I’ll use my title as the Jade King as a stake. If Miss An beats , this title is yours!"
The auction hall was silent, then instantly erupted. Everyone thought ng Po might have gone mad, even daring to wager the title of Jade King!
But An Yiqing remained unmoved, her expression unreadable, no sign of her thoughts.
The hall buzzed for a while, eventually quieting down.
At this mont, An Yiqing, who had been silent, suddenly uttered a low laugh and said, "Mr. ng Po’s stake truly surprised . Jade King? It certainly is an enticing title. However, I don’t agree with this stake."
Another gasp filled the room, while the title of Jade King may not be an unparalleled treasure, in the stone gambling circle, it held the highest status, receiving respect and admiration from all industry insiders!
