Book 1 Chapter 1154
Following Master Li's words, the whole audience burst into laughter and boos, and everyone held a moment of silence for Ning Tao.
A chamber pot was actually regarded as a treasure. Most likely, the Kunlun merchant saw that it could not be sold, so he deliberately found someone to sell it to, and even hyped it up. It seemed that he was targeting the young master of the Bai family.
Based on the reputation of the Bai family, this chamber pot can be regarded as a hit. At the very least, everyone in Tancheng will know about it tomorrow and become the laughing stock of after-dinner and tea breaks.
However, when some people from the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce saw this, they all looked at each other in astonishment. They were completely confused about this, but they were inexplicably blamed for it.
At this time, a gray-haired old man walked out. It was Mu Lao, the main person in charge of the Taobao area!
He smiled and said: "Since you two are so elegant, let me be a witness and avoid accidents. The credibility of the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce can be guaranteed."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Mu Lao actually came to preside over the gambling game in person. It seemed that this entrustment was going to be carried out to the end.
When Master Bai Li saw this, he immediately laughed ferociously and said extremely proudly: "Since it is a bet, there must be a stake. I am not interested in money. I just want you to kneel down and beg me."
When Ning Tao heard this, a cold voice came from under the bamboo hat and said: "What a coincidence, I thought so too."
At this moment, Mu Lao spoke and said in a deep voice: "Both of you, it's just a bet. There's no need to be so decisive. Why don't you let me say a fair word?"
"The two of you each take an object here, and in the end it will be up to me to decide. Whoever finds something of higher value will win the bet and get all the treasures."
"In other words, whoever wins will not only get two treasures, but also get a bow and apology from the other person, while the loser will have to apologize after buying the item and getting nothing!"
"I don't know, what do you two think?"
As soon as Mu Lao's voice fell, before the two of them could speak, there was a burst of sighs on the scene. I thought I could watch a big show, but I didn't expect that it only turned into an apology and payment.
Bai Li and Ning Tao frowned, both reluctant, but this was the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce. They didn't want to cause trouble, and they didn't dare to provoke, so they could only follow this method.
Bai Li said contemptuously: "What a pervert, I am so compassionate and will give you a chance. If you kneel down and apologize to me now, I will pretend that none of this has happened, otherwise...!"
However, Ning Tao remained motionless and said quietly: "If you are a coward, you are a coward. You still find excuses. I look down on people like you the most."
"you……!"
Bai Li was so angry that his whole body was trembling, his eyes were about to spit fire, and he immediately said fiercely: "Okay, okay, I look down on you. Today, I don't need to be arrogant, I will use my strength to conquer you."
"snort!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked proudly into the Taobao area. With his many years of experience in this area, how could he give in?
Seeing this scene, everyone was in an uproar. They all saw Master Li often and were considered regular visitors here. Over the years, they would always have some experience and occasionally find treasures.
No matter how bad it is, it will still be better than a chamber pot!
And when I looked at Ning Tao again, he was actually... indifferent, just holding the chamber pot. Because he was wearing a bamboo hat on his head and couldn't see his face clearly, I had no idea what he was thinking.
"Hey, do you think this person is a stooge? Why do I feel like this is a show staged by the Kunlun Chamber of Commerce? Otherwise, why doesn't that guy dare to show his true face?"
"I guess so. It has nothing to do with us anyway. Just watch the show. I wonder what treasure Master Bai will pick?"
There was a slight commotion in the crowd. They all put down what they were doing, folded their arms to watch the show, and commented wantonly.
At this time, when Mu Lao saw the indifferent Ning Tao, he immediately frowned and said in a deep voice: "My friend, please forgive me for talking too much, but you don't just want to win with this thing, do you?"
Ning Tao heard this and said calmly: "Does Mu Lao not have confidence in it? This is something belonging to your Kunlun Chamber of Commerce, or are you using this thing to bluff people?"
"Well!"
Hearing these words, Mu Lao was speechless and couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't want to say anything more at this time. He was both the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and the referee, so he couldn't say much.
However, the crowd exploded and boiled. Their crazy idea before was actually realized.
"That brainless guy actually wants to use a chamber pot to bet. Isn't it obvious that he is going to lose? Even if it doesn't work, any random thing would be better than this thing."
"Oh, this is really crazy. I don't know who this guy is. He is so stupid...!"
The crowd's opinions were overwhelming, but Ning Tao remained indifferent, as if he really regarded the chamber pot as a treasure.
In fact, he was not so indifferent. He couldn't help but tighten his hand on the chamber pot, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Not long after, Bai Li ran out with an excited look on his face, holding a stone in his hand. It was a light purple color and had a noble air, indicating that it was extraordinary and was regarded as a treasure.
"Hey...that's Shi Zhongyu!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, obviously recognizing this object. As people who have been around the Taobao area all year round, they all remember clearly which items may be treasures.
But this piece of jade in stone requires five hundred elixirs. It is one of the most expensive things in this Taobao area. Not many people dare to bet. If it is fake, they will lose a lot.
The crowd began to commotion, with excited faces. Although they had no money, they had a wish to identify all the identified treasures, just to confirm their conjectures.
Jade in stone is one of them!
Seeing this, Mu Lao's eyes flashed. As the person in charge, he would definitely know some inside information. He immediately sighed to himself: "The ending has been decided, a bit like thunder with heavy rain and small raindrops."
I saw him standing in front of a table and said calmly: "Now I give you two a last chance, hurry up and choose the treasures. If you want to regret it when the time comes... it will be too late."
When Bai Li and others heard this, Jie Jie sneered and looked at Ning Tao in unison. These words were clearly meant for him, but they didn't expect that he was actually holding a chamber pot. It was really stupid.
Ning Tao also heard the overtones of the words, and immediately smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, for your kindness, but I won't change it anymore."
When Mu Lao heard this, he shook his head helplessly and sighed. Everyone present also sighed. They were really ignorant. Even after saying this, he still wanted to persist to the end.
Wait for a while and let him cry heartbreakingly!
Everyone shook their heads, with anger in their hearts and anticipation on their faces, all waiting to see Ning Tao's tragic situation.
A lavender stone is called jade in a stone. It is said that there may be a rare jade inside it, which is very valuable.
An object that looks like a chamber pot, with dust still on the surface, has no features or characteristics, and no one would want it if it were thrown on the street.
Looking at these two things, Mu Lao didn't bother to distinguish them. He lowered his eyes and took a look, already making a decision in his heart.
Looking up at the two of them again, one looked excited and proud, while the other couldn't see his face clearly.
He took a deep breath and announced loudly: "I declare that the bet between the two of you is for nothing...!"
