Chapter 698: This Is Not Scientific!

But stone gambling was different. It was said that the Wolf King would always rise when gambling, and the raw stones he selected could at least open up ice-type jade.

If he chose wrong in a while, it wouldn't just be embarrassing. If the news reached the elders of the Azure Wolf Hall, they might make a fuss again.

But before Xu Tian could find an excuse to refuse, Jiang Chuan excitedly pulled him toward the stone gambling hall.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier when the new goods arrived? Don't you know my Brother Yi likes it?"

The man behind had bitter words but couldn't speak, and could only follow Xu Tian and the others to the stone gambling hall with a submissive look.

"Alright, you don't need to follow." Jiang Chuan stuffed a hundred-dollar bill into the man's suit pocket and sent him away.

"Brother Yi, I haven't seen you gamble on stones for a long time. How about letting me and Zhong Yu open our eyes today?"

"Let's look at the quality of this batch of raw stones first." Xu Tian said vaguely.

"That's right, in case this batch of goods is not good, don't waste money."

Walking into the stone gambling hall, Xu Tian found that there were quite a lot of people here. Some simply liked to enjoy the fun of stone gambling, while others were jewelers picking suitable raw materials for their shops.

"Rising, rising!"

As soon as they walked in, an excited exclamation came from not far away.

Xu Tian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with fair skin and beautiful features, wearing a high ponytail, being surrounded by seven or eight people, receiving a palm-sized jade from the stone-cutting master.

The jade's water was not bad; it looked like old-pit glass-type, but the color was light and couldn't be considered top-level jade. But even so, taking this unprocessed jade out for auction could at least fetch a high price of nearly ten million.

Compared to that jade, Xu Tian was more curious about the man with the ponytail. He clearly had a heroic appearance, but he insisted on keeping a head of black long hair, tied high. If you ignored his height and looked at his back alone, he looked more like a young and beautiful female college student.

But this "female college student" was 1.8 meters tall with a prominent Adam's apple. If you observed carefully, you would find he was a real man.

It stood to reason that on this Wuji Island, where martial arts were respected, people dressed like this would be considered neither man nor woman, lacking masculinity, and would be discriminated against to some extent.

However, the few middle-aged men surrounding the man at this moment didn't have the slightest bit of contempt for him; instead, they carried a bit of worship.

"Zhong Yu, that person..."

As soon as Xu Tian opened his mouth, he saw Zhong Yu's eyes dodging, and she even hid behind his back.

"What's wrong with you? Not feeling well?"

"No..." Zhong Yu laughed dryly and continued to shrink behind Xu Tian.

Her reaction clearly showed something was up, but Xu Tian didn't expose her.

Zhong Yu was best not wanting to stay here, so he would have an excuse to get away.

But although Zhong Yu didn't know what she was worried about, perhaps she didn't want to spoil the fun for Xu Tian and Jiang Chuan, so she never proposed to leave.

Xu Tian sighed silently in his heart. How long would he have to pretend as this impostor?

His purpose for coming to Wuji Island was to find Tang Bingyan, but now he was forced to stay in the Azure Wolf Hall and had no opportunity or ability to inquire about her whereabouts.

Having been with Tang Bingyan for two lifetimes, Xu Tian only now discovered that he didn't understand her at all.

How many secrets were hidden in her, and who was his true identity?

When he learned that his memory had been tampered with by Tang Bingyan, his heart was shocked and confused, but he had no hatred.

He must find her and ask her properly why she transplanted his memory and turned him into another person.

Regardless, Tang Bingyan was a woman who could even give up her life for him and choose to die for love, and she was a devoted woman who never left him no matter how he misunderstood her. It was impossible for her to harm him.

But now he really had no way to immediately look for Tang Bingyan's whereabouts.

He could only let everyone in the Azure Wolf Hall completely acknowledge his identity and treat him as the real Wolf King. Perhaps then he would have the possibility of using the Azure Wolf Hall's connections to inquire about Tang Bingyan's news.

Otherwise, with his current situation, even if he left the Azure Wolf Hall, he would be unable to move an inch on this dangerous Wuji Island.

"Are you interested in stone gambling?" Just as Xu Tian's thoughts were wandering, the man with the ponytail had already walked in front of him.

"It's okay." Xu Tian came back to his senses and said vaguely.

"Do you want to gamble?" The man's deep eyes stared at Xu Tian, a look that couldn't be understood flashing in his eyes.

"Gamble on what?" The Wolf King liked stone gambling. If he refused again, it would be easy to be seen through, so Xu Tian pretended to be very interested.

"Each picks a piece, and then look at the water species." The ponytail man pointed to the raw stones neatly stacked not far away. "As for the stake, you can set it."

So confident, it seems he's an expert.

Plus, this man had already opened a piece of jade with good water species. Even if he didn't gamble, Xu Tian knew he would lose eight or nine times out of ten.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't show cowardice. And anyway, all his expenses today were on the Azure Wolf Hall's account, so even if he lost, he didn't have to worry about being forced to cut off his fingers to pay the debt because he had no money.

"Then the stake, let's set it at two million." Xu Tian said very casually.

"Brother Yi, are you being so conservative today? Two million is so boring, if you want to gamble, gamble big!" Zhong Yu poked her head out from behind Xu Tian.

Xu Tian:...

Two million isn't big enough, you want him to mortgage the villa?

But he didn't want to live in that haunted house in the suburbs anyway. If he could mortgage it, it would be exactly what he wanted.

Just when Xu Tian intended to change his words, the ponytail man nodded.

"Fine, two million it is."

Immediately after, he looked at Zhong Yu, who was poking her head, a look of thought appearing in his eyes.

"Have we met before?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Zhong Yu shook her little head like a rattle. "Girls with my looks are everywhere on the street; you must have remembered wrong."

It seems this guy's memory isn't very good. They clearly had a fight before, but now when the other party looked at her, he only felt she looked familiar.

Zhong Yu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and it was thanks to this guy's bad memory that they weren't in a dangerous situation today.

"Is that so?" The ponytail man showed a thoughtful expression.

"I say brother, your routine for picking up girls is too old, right?" Jiang Chuan scanned the ponytail man with a warning look. "My sister just became an adult, I warn you, don't have any ideas about her."

Zhong Yu:...

Brother Chuan didn't recognize her either? This is not scientific!

But according to Brother Chuan's IQ, if he really recognized her, he would probably have flipped the table long ago.

It's good that he doesn't remember.

"Brother Yi, you play with him, I'll go to other places with Brother Chuan to stroll around. Haven't been here for a long time, let's see if there are any new things." Zhong Yu was beating drums in her heart, and also worried that Jiang Chuan or the ponytail man would suddenly open their minds, so she found an excuse to take Jiang Chuan away. ===== CHAPTER 699 =====
