<h4>Chapter 1259: Chapter 1272</h4>


    The two left hand in hand with deep affection, while Wei Xiang watched with a burning desire to rush over and tear Chu Ge apart.


    Everyone in the Capital City knows he has a crush on Nangong Man Sha, yet this ignorant bumpkin dares to soil his turf! After today’s gamble, he is determined to show him what hell truly feels like!


    Wei Yu saw his brother’s veins bulging in anger andforted him, "Brother, Ms. Man Sha will certainly realize you are the one most suitable for her. Right now, she must be deceived by Chu Ge."


    "Without a doubt!" Wei Xiang dered confidently. He believed anyone knowing him and Chu Ge would surely choose him!


    Thinking about Chu Ge’s imminent fate, he smiled coldly and turned to Wei Yu, "How’s it going with Mu Bingtong now?"


    At the mention of this, Wei Yu exploded, gritting his teeth, "I don’t even know where Mu Bingtong’s country bumpkin fiancé is hiding. If I could get rid of him, Bingtong would surely fall into my arms."


    Wei Xiangforted, albeit rarely: "Once I deal with Chu Ge, I’ll help you find that bumpkin, and you’ll get the beauty you desire!"


    Wei Yu quickly thanked him upon hearing this.


    The Wei brothers were in harmony, but the situation was quite different on Chu Ge’s side.


    Nangong Man Sha red fiercely at Chu Ge, who was walking ahead, and finally couldn’t bear it any longer, shouting, "Chu Ge!"


    Hearing her call, Chu Ge stopped in his tracks and turned around. Seeing the distance between them, he feigned innocence, "Why are you walking so slowly? At this pace, we can’t finish exploring the Gambling Stone Field in half an hour."


    Nangong Man Sha: "..." God, could this man be a little more considerate? What’s with saying she’s walking slow; shouldn’t he be amodating her more?


    She rubbed her aching legs, suddenly regretting wearing high heels just to showcase her figure today!


    Nangong Man Sha, annoyed, walked into the nearest gambling stone shop, "I’m not going any further. You can explore by yourself!"


    Chu Ge sighed; the saying about women’s hearts being inscrutable was indeed true. He shook his head and followed her into the shop.


    Nangong Man Sha’s mood improved slightly when she saw Chu Ge hadn’t left her behind after all.


    Once inside, she noticed the shop was a bit rundown, the stones covered in dust, no service staff were around, only an old man operating the stone-cutting machine.


    To be honest, watching the old man’s skilled operation was quite a visual treat.


    However, before she could continue to enjoy it, an annoying figure blocked her view again: "Old Master, you’re cutting it wrong; you can’t cut it this way!"


    Nangong Man Sha: "..." Seriously, he’s everywhere!


    She hurried forward, pulled Chu Ge, and apologized to the old master, "Sorry, he’s talking nonsense, please ignore him!"


    The technique looked like it belonged to an expert in the gambling stone field; there was no need for this rookie to make a scene. Offending someone might lead to trouble, and mere apologies wouldn’t suffice; experts in this field were usually very well-connected!


    Yet, the old man stopped his actions and asked Chu Ge, "What insight might this young friend have?"


    Chu Ge stepped forward, pointed at the raw stone on the stone-cutting machine, and drew a line with his finger, "You should cut it like this, to avoid damaging the jade inside."


    The old man paused, stunned, "You know this stone will yield?"


    Chu Ge suddenly realized he had blown his cover since he saw considerable Spiritual Energy inside, indicating there was definitely jade within, but others couldn’t see it.


    He scratched his head.


    Nangong Man Sha understood what was happening and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, Sir. He doesn’t know jade; he’s just trying to show off in front of me. Your forgiveness is humbly requested."


    She had just noticed the man’s ck Dragon Tattoo on his hand. Her father had told her about this legend; the old man was a top master in the Gambling Stone World. Normally, she’d want towork, but now that Chu Ge had offended him, apologizing was all she could do.


    Without waiting for Chu Ge to speak further, she dragged him out of the shop, "Do you know who he is? You’re being an idiot showing off your limited skills!"


    Chu Ge touched his nose; could this old man be someone important? But he was right, he shook his head; it didn’t matter. He had warned them; whether they spoiled a jade wouldn’t be his fault.


    After this incident, time had passed, and Chu Ge led the still-angry Nangong Man Sha to the gambling stone shop where Wei Xiang was scheduled.


    Meanwhile, back in the old shop, the old man, driven by some inexplicable impulse, cut at the spot Chu Ge indicated. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief!


    In the gambling stone shop where Wei Xiang was situated.


    "Master Zhao, finally you’re here." Wei Xiang weed the man as he entered.


    The man, known as Master Zhao, was around forty, and he entered with an arrogant air, scanning the ce and asking, "Who am Ipeting against?"


    Wei Xiang led Master Zhao inside and exined the situation.


    Master Zhao’s disdain grew, "You called me to deal with a rookie who knows nothing?"


    Wei Xiang assured, "Master Zhao, don’t worry. As long as you defeat that kid, you’ll be greatly rewarded."


    Master Zhao gave a reluctant nod, "Alright, I’ll spare some time to deal with him. Just perfect, since my master is here too, I can visit him after handling this."


    "Your master is here too?" Wei Xiang was astonished; he’d heard tales about this person, someone even his father showed some respect to.


    Master Zhao confirmed with pride, "I’ll introduce you when the timees, but whether he’s willing to meet is beyond my control."


    "Absolutely, thank you in advance, Master Zhao." Wei Xiang replied, surprised and delighted.


    Just as they finished exchanging pleasantries, Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha walked over.


    Outside, having thrown a million dirty looks at him, Nangong Man Sha immediately snuggled beside him as they entered, like a model ideal wife.


    Chu Ge: "..." Ha, women!


    He looked at Nangong Man Sha in dismay, then shifted his gaze to a newly arrived middle-aged man in the hall. Then he said, "Your reinforcements are here? Let’s get started."


    Wei Xiang watched Chu Ge’s indifferent demeanor and smirked internally, "You remember the bet, right? Best of five rounds. We contest who finds the better jade in the raw stones."


    Chu Ge replied, "No problem. Can we start now? I’m in a hurry."


    He seemed as if he was certain of his victory.


    Not only Wei Xiang but even the slighted Master Zhao felt his breath catch.


    With that, the two went to select the raw stones they were interested in.


    Chu Ge scanned the rows of raw stones piled on the shelves, asking, "Who’s footing the bill for these stones?"
