Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Inside the main hall, Changsun Jiuye felt her anger rising again. She was so respected in the Sun Moon Sect that even the three Holy Maidens had to bow and greet her with utmost respect. Yet this Shangguan Xiaoxiao dared to contradict her like that.

"Elder Changsun, since that's the case, let's wait until Miss Shangguan changes her mind before making a move..."

Gu Shengtian smiled slightly, got up and left.

"Young Master Gu!"

Changsun Jiuye frowned and said, "Tomorrow is the start of the Stone Gambling Conference. At that time, the Source Masters from the Li and Zhu families will arrive. I would like to ask Young Master Gu to send one or two Source Masters to hold them off first. What do you think?"

--This jade gambling convention has already affected the routes of the entire upper echelons of the Northern Frontier.

Neither the pro-war faction nor the pro-peace faction could convince the other.

That's why the jade gambling convention came into being!

The jade gambling tournament lasts for three days. During these three days, all the yellow and black-grade mines of all forces in the city will be open to both sides as gambling arenas.

--According to the calculations of the source masters of both factions, the veins of the Yellow and Profound level mines cannot sustain the Primordial Divine Source. Therefore, the Primordial Divine Source must be in the Earth and Heaven level mines. Fighting in the Yellow and Profound level mines will not disturb the Primordial Divine Source.

Within ten days, the side whose Source Masters cut out the most Sources will win. The winning side will gain the right to search for Primordial Divine Sources in the Earth and Heaven-level mines throughout the city. The losing side will cease all action and will not be allowed to interfere!

After all, the Primordial Divine Source is a creation of nature, and no interference is allowed during the search and capture process; otherwise, the Primordial Divine Source may escape or even self-destruct.

If the ownership of the Primordial Divine Source is not determined in this way, and the source warriors on both sides are dissatisfied with each other, or even if the pro-war and pro-peace factions sabotage each other, then obtaining the Primordial Divine Source will be nothing but a fantasy!

The Primordial Divine Source is too perceptive and alert; everyone needs to work together!

No one can afford the price of losing the Primordial Divine Source.

Therefore, the outcome of the jade gambling tournament determined the ownership of the Primordial Divine Source, and the ownership of the Primordial Divine Source, in turn, determined the choice between war and peace...

If it weren't for its importance, how could the Sun Moon Sect and others have sacrificed such great interests to ask the Ancient Origin Master's lineage to take action?

Tomorrow is the first day of the jade gambling tournament, and we can't afford to lose morale in this opening battle!

But Gu Shengtian thought for a moment and smiled, "How about this, if Miss Shangguan comes to ask me for help, I will agree."

After saying that, he left.

Changsun Jiuye's face was extremely gloomy, his eyes filled with both anger and humiliation.

Despite her status, she was both disobeyed by Shangguan Xiaoxiao and threatened by a junior like Gu Shengtian, and the worst part was that she couldn't even retaliate.

"This lineage of Ancient Origin Masters is truly a bit too arrogant!"

Cao Yueshu couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"I have the capital to be proud!"

Changsun Jiuye said in a deep voice, "The Li family invited that lineage of Source Masters. Upon hearing this, all the Source Masters from various factions fled in terror, not daring to show their faces. After all this time, have we recruited a single Source Master? Only the lineage of Ancient Source Masters dares to stand on equal footing with them. Without relying on them, how can we find the Primordial Divine Source? How can we resist the descent of the Gray Mist?"

"But Shangguan Xiaoxiao only cares about her own selfish interests!"

"If the Li family's source warriors come tomorrow, my mining area will be at their mercy!"

Cao Yueshu was also helpless. This matter was truly a dilemma. He was originally biased towards Tu Tianlong, and even felt that Tu Tianlong was the best choice for Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Unexpectedly, this incident occurred.

"The mine requests an audience with Elder Yu,"

At that moment, someone came to report from outside.

"please."

Cao Yueshu spoke, and soon after, Elder Yu walked in.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder and Elder Cao, a strange thing happened at the mine today!"

Elder Yu then recounted Li Lan's story.

"That's strange indeed. A single copper coin can be used to identify the original stone? I've never heard of such a thing before!"

Cao Yueshu said.

"It's nothing but a charade!"

Changsun Jiuye shook his head: "The Heavenly Calculation has always been passed down through a single lineage. Now the true lineage is with the Li family. The others are nothing but charlatans."
