Chapter 20: This holy place is about to be surnamed Wang!
……
Because the Heavenly Fire Master initiated it, the other Daoists eagerly joined in, each betting on their own disciple to win.
The content of their bets was simple: aside from aptitude, the remaining scores. The stakes were not small, with each betting around a hundred thousand immortal crystals, totaling about ten million Top Gold.
This was fitting for a Divine Realm cultivator's status; if the stakes were too high, losing could be damaging, but if too low, it wouldn't be exciting.
Among the enthusiastic Daoists, only Wang Shouzhe remained calm, sipping his spiritual tea without any intention to participate.
"Master Wang Shouzhe, aren't you going to join in?" Mingcheng Zhenren, who had boldly bet a hundred thousand immortal crystals on Luo Qiu, asked with great interest, "If one wins alone, they could earn over a million immortal crystals~"
"I'll pass. Our Wang's Clan doesn't encourage gambling," Wang Shouzhe replied with a smile, cupping his hands. "As long as you all enjoy yourselves."
At home, it's just Ruolan and a few others playing mahjong or poker, but it's all in good fun, and they don't take winning or losing seriously. Only Ruolan, to teach Emperor Longchang a lesson, has won against him a few times.
"Shouzhe, could you advance me ten thousand immortal crystals as wages?" Tianhe Daoist suddenly approached, asking, "The money I earned earlier went to pay off debts, and I'm really strapped for cash now."
