Divine Magic Doctor

Su Ming asked Situ Zhong, "Who are these two people? They don't look simple."    

    

Situ Zhong said in a low voice, "This long-bearded man is Lord Shangguan Jie, whom I heard in the Treasure Pavilion just now. He was originally the Northern General of South Huai Country. A few years ago, he quit because he didn't like the politics. After that, he quit. ... Shangguan Jie started the business of jade and antiques by relying on his family's ancestral property. However, he also did a good job. "    

    

"This fox fur man is called Xiu Minyuan, not someone from our Huai Nan country. He's a merchant from the Jiang Yin Nation, and he happens to be in the jade and antique business. The two of them have long had conflicts in business. This is not the first time such a scene has happened "    

    

"As for the black-robed old man, he's the manager of the largest jade vein family in South Huai Country's underground black market. As long as he's involved in the jade business, he has to give him some face."    

    

Only now did Su Ming understand. It was no wonder that the tension between the two of them was so strong. As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield. This Shangguan Jie was born in a military camp, so naturally, the two of them were like water and fire.    

    

At this moment, Xiu Minyuan, who was mercilessly exposed by Shangguan Jie, said with an ashen face, "Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Since someone vouched for you, you must gamble. If you can't afford it, then get lost!"    

    

"Of course I bet. If I don't strike a blow to your arrogance today, I won't leave."    

    

After that, Shangguan Jie complained to the old man in black, "I say, Chief Chu, your batch of stones isn't enough. I've already spent over ten thousand taels of silver, but I haven't found any good materials. This is much worse than the previous batch of stones."    

    

The old man in black said with a serious expression, "Mister Shangguan, don't speak nonsense. I guarantee this batch of stones with the reputation of the Stone Destiny Parlor. It is definitely a genuine high-quality stone. I won't hide it from you. A Sky Reaching Jade has been found in the stones that were dug into the pit with this batch of stones in other places of our Stone Destiny's House. "    

    

Tongtian Jade!!    

    

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.    

    

This was a rare good jade!    

    

After hearing this, Su Ming finally understood.    

    

Wasn't this so-called stone gambling?!    

    

Su Ming had never thought that there would be such an event in the Middle World. It was just that the name was different.    

    

It seemed that this world still had many similarities with the real world.    

    

"That's the problem with the stones you took out." Shangguan Jie slowly said, "I will never open the stones on this table again. I will have to trouble Chief Chu to change a batch of stones!"    

    

Shangguan Jie's request was completely normal at this time, and the black-robed old man had no reason to refuse.    

    

With a wave of his hand, a group of workers quickly removed all the stones on the table and replaced them with a basket of new stones.    

    

"How do we play this time?" Xiu Minyuan said with a cold smile.    

    

Shangguan Jie said in a cold voice: "Just follow the old rules, a private bet, it's a competition to see who gets the item with the highest value."    

    

Xiu Minyuan smiled coldly: "Okay, but this time I want to play a bigger game"    

    

Shangguan Jie said: "How big do you want to play?"    

    

Xiu Minyuan laughed coldly: "One, ten thousand silver, how about it?"    

    

When the crowd heard this number, they were all shocked.    

    

Ten thousand taels of silver, that was an astronomical figure.    

    

Although the bet between the two of them was also very big, after playing for a few hours, Shangguan Jie had only lost slightly more than 10,000 silver taels.    

    

Now, the winning and losing of one round had reached ten thousand silver taels!    

    

Even Shangguan Jie started to hesitate in front of this number.    

    

"What, you can't afford to play anymore?" Xiu Minyuan smiled and said, "It's fine if you can't afford it, I'm not forcing you to!"    

    

Being provoked by Xiu Minyuan, Shangguan Jie directly said, "Okay, 10,000 taels it is. I will play with you!"    

    

Nangong Xin opened his mouth and wanted to say something but stopped himself.    

    

Shangguan Jie was observing for a long time, and it seemed that it was difficult to choose which stone.    

    

After all, it was a bet of ten thousand taels of silver. Even Shangguan Jie had to be careful. If he lost, the problem of money was still a small matter, but this was equivalent to losing all of his face.    

    

"Mr. Shangguan, if it's so difficult to make a decision, why don't I choose one for you?" Su Ming suddenly said.    

    

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.    

    

Everyone looked at Su Ming in shock, as if they were looking at a fool.    

    

"Who is this kid? He actually said such a thing at this time."    

    

"That's right. This is a bet worth more than ten thousand taels of silver. If he makes a mistake, will he be able to bear the responsibility?"    

    

"He seems to be together with that Mr. Nan. Looking at Chief Chu's attitude towards Mr. Nan, this Mr. Nan's identity must be extraordinary. However, I don't know how much this kid weighs."    

    

"... " ......"    

    

Everyone started talking about Su Ming one after another. Not many of them spoke in a disdainful tone.    

    

Nangong Xin, who was standing beside him, said with a bitter smile on his face. "Mr. Su, you..."    

    

Xiu Minyuan, who was standing opposite of him, was also stunned. Then, he said with a smile, "Shangguan Jie, did you hear that? The surrounding people can't watch anymore. If you don't know how to choose, then let this little brother do it for you. He's like a woman. "    

    

Shangguan Jie's face turned green, and he turned to Su Ming and said, "You are?"    

    

Nangong Xin hurriedly introduced him, "This is my friend, Su Ming, Mr. Su."    

    

Hearing what Nangong Xin said, Shangguan Jie's expression became slightly better.    

    

"Thank you for Brother Su's good intentions, but the matter of the stone is not as simple as it seems. I think it's better for me to come here personally," Nangong Xin said in a calm voice.    

    

At this moment, Shangguan Jie was trying his best to suppress his anger. After all, Su Ming was brought here by Shangguan Xin. If it wasn't for the fact that they had some kind of relationship, he would have been furious by now.    

    

In the end, what Shangguan Jie cared about wasn't the outcome of the bet, but his own face.    

    

Putting aside the fact that Shangguan Jie didn't believe Su Ming at all, even if he did, Shangguan Jie wouldn't risk losing all of his face to let Su Ming choose the stone for him.    

    

Su Ming smiled. Since Shangguan Jie refused, he didn't say anything more and directly returned to Nangong Xin's side.    

    

Nangong Xin said with an apologetic expression, "Mr. Su, don't be angry. This is a bet of over ten thousand silver taels after all, and Sir Shangguan's temper is like this, he didn't mean to target Sir..."    

    

"No need to say anything, don't worry, I don't care." Su Ming replied in a calm voice.    

    

As the two of them were talking, Shangguan Jie finally chose his stone.    

    

It was a huge stone, the size of an adult's head.    

    

Xiu Minyuan also chose his own stone. Compared to Shangguan Jie who only used his eyes to estimate, Xiu Minyuan was much more cautious when he chose the stone. Not only did he observe the stone's luster, but he also used his hand to feel the patterns on the stone.    

    

"This friend of yours, you have lost fair and square!" Su Ming said calmly.    

    

"What do you mean?" Nangong Xin was slightly stunned.    

    

Su Ming said calmly, "This Lord Shangguan's eyesight is quite good, but he doesn't know enough about raw stones. Just like the stone he chose now, the color is not bad. If it was an ordinary raw stone, the probability of producing good raw stones would be quite high. But this stone was obviously a new stone that had just come out of the mine. So, By judging the quality of the material on the surface, its effect will be greatly reduced."    

    

Nangong Xin was stunned and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Su would have some insight into the stone guessing technique. However, before the stone is opened, no one can determine the outcome of the stone inside."    

    

Su Ming shook his head and said, "No, the result is already decided, Shangguan Jie will definitely lose."
