The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"It's almost time. Sister Xu, did I offend you in any way? Why do you always look at me like I'm trash?"

"Oh, you found out."

"Uh......"

The two voices gradually faded away.

Wen Zixi still maintained the same posture, standing in the same place, as if the moisture on her face reminded her that she was now a living person with flesh and blood.

While no one was paying attention, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve, and then turned her gaze to the stone in her hand, which had a horizontal crack in the middle.

With a nervous mood, Wen Zixi stretched out his trembling hand, counted silently in his mind, and took advantage of the moment when the stone was distracted to open its crown.

But there are no rare treasures inside.

some......

There was just a well-preserved glass bracelet lying quietly inside, with ivory-white pearls and green agate jade interspersed with each other. Inside the crystal glass beads, there was also a lotus that was magnified countless times.

"Sister Wen, let's go!"

Xu Miaoer in front gave a loud reminder.

"Oh oh, right away!"

Wen Zixi carefully took out the bracelet and then casually threw away the useless stone.

She put the bracelet on her left wrist, looked at it carefully in front of her eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

The gadgets are quite matching~

After that, Ye Yongzhen asked the two girls to wait for a while, and he walked to a secluded corner.

Take out the prepared white paper and hair cone, and write different serial numbers on the two pieces of white paper respectively.

There are more than dozens of them.

After doing all this, Ye Yongzhen didn't even need to check, he was that confident.

Wait until I return to Xu Miaoer and Wen Zixi again.

Ye Yongzhen gave each of them a piece of white paper with clear records of the multiple display tables in the gambling stone shop and the precise serial numbers of each row and column of the goods. The two pieces of paper were different.

"Use the remaining money to buy these stones. There are quite a few hollow shells among them. I marked them here to confuse people. Buy them in order from top to bottom. Don't mix them up."

“Everything that is offered will be auctioned at the highest market price.”

"The specific amount is up to you."

Ye Yongzhen turned his head to look outside the gambling stone shop and roughly estimated the time based on the position of the sun.

He clapped his hands one last time and encouraged with a smile:

“After so much time, you should all be familiar with the stone cutting process.

"Next, everyone split up.

"If everything goes well, we estimate that we can collect 500,000 spirit stones before sunset."

"If you're lucky, there will be a lot more."

"That's it then. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Enough, enough, enough!"

"What does Gou... mean?"

Xu Miaoer mentioned it out of curiosity.

"It means mutual encouragement."

Ye Yongzhen explained patiently.

After hearing this, Xu Miaoer showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. It turned out that the people in the Central Plains had evolved to this level, and a word could be used several times.

And it sounds really useful!

"Okay, everyone is good!"

Ye Yongzhen: “…”

Sister, you must understand the principle of not doing to others what you do not want others to do to you.

The reason why Ye Yongzhen knocked on each piece of stone twice was to know exactly which one contained treasures and which one did not. He also memorized all of them with his photographic memory.

He even calculated the amount of spirit stones needed for the purchase accurately, as long as there was no situation of asking for a higher price or two people competing for the price of a piece of stone.

Fifty thousand spirit stones are enough to buy these goods.

The total proceeds from the final sale should be enough to buy the seven-colored gourd stone.

Ye Yongzhen said goodbye to the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Come on~"

"Okay! Just leave it to me, okay!"

"Well, do your best."

In front of Xu Miaoer and Wen Zixi, Ye Yongzhen always looks like a sunny and cheerful gentleman.

But after they left.

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

Don't say you have a cold face.

But it also looked bleak and dull.

Ye Yongzhen lowered his eyes, turned around and walked out of the gambling stone shop, and found a place where no one could find him.

With his back against the bluestone wall, he slowly slid down and collapsed.

He rubbed his hair on his forehead tiredly, making it messy, and then tilted his head back.

The back of his head rested against the wall behind him, his pupils gradually losing all their brightness, like a puppet without a soul, his eyes staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ye Yongzhen's mouth twitched slightly twice.

The voice is dull, like a loser who has lost all meaning in life and is indifferent to everything.

He murmured woodenly and weakly:

"Ahh, the sunlight is so dazzling... Those twin girls have grown so big..."

"The first leader of the five regions or something..."

"Eat shit! ...Jun Ming... I really am a complete loser..."

He slowly lowered his head.

With his half-long hair cascading on both sides, it was impossible to see the true expression on Ye Yongzhen's face.

He himself seemed to be asleep and did not make any unnecessary movements for a long time.

Time passes bit by bit.

Suddenly I looked up and saw a ray of setting sun, casting a shy blush on my face like a girl.

Ye Yongzhen stretched his limbs vigorously, stretched his waist and felt numb, yawned and said with emotion:

"Let's get drunk again tonight!"

“It’s already this time.”

"I think those two girls have saved up enough spirit stones. It's time to go see the little King Kong in the seven-colored gourd."

Ye Yongzhen returned to the gambling stone shop along the same route.

At the place where we parted not long ago, a woman in a dark green dress had been waiting there for a long time.

But that silly girl.

But he hasn't come back yet.

"How is it?" Ye Yongzhen asked with a smile.

"According to your instructions, I successfully exchanged for 278,600 spirit stones."

Wen Zixi thought about it and replied:

"When Miao'er comes back, I should be able to buy that seven-colored gourd stone."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Yongzhen continued to ask questions.

He seemed to be saying, "You are so young, yet even I cannot fathom your cultivation. Your Master must be a renowned figure, right?"

Wen Zixi shook his head.

"To be honest, since I joined the sect, I have met with Master only a few times."

"My abilities are all due to the care of my senior brothers."

"Understandable."

Ye Yongzhen nodded calmly, then muttered softly:

"Your old man is using the name of a fortune teller to cheat people every day. He's probably still hiding in Lingxiao Mountain to avoid the limelight."

"Tsk tsk, they even cheated children out of their money."

"What did you just say?"

"Hehe, I say, your senior brother must be a very reliable guy to be able to teach disciples like you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zixi couldn't help but recall the eldest senior brother who lived in Taiyi Gate, never going out of the main door or the second door, and seemed to have merged with the bed. He turned his eyes away silently.

"Big Brother, he is indeed more reliable..."

"Brother Ye, Sister Wen, I'm back!"
