Chapter 32: Chapter 28: The Young Gambling God (V)

Translator:

The first round of fights came to an end. After a rest period of one hourglass, the second round began.

Chu Xinrui, one of the favorites to win the tournament, was eliminated in the first round. This upset many gamblers who had placed heavy bets on him, leading to their immediate mental breakdown. They cursed loudly, angrily tearing their betting slips into pieces.

Meanwhile, spectators who had bet on Qu Lexian and Suo Yingcai began to brag. They behaved as though they had foreseen the outcome, conveniently forgetting their fervent cheering moments ago.

Happiness, anger, admiration, jealousy, greed – the small martial arts arena was filled with a sea of varied emotions, evoking a sigh at the complexity of human hearts.

With the conclusion of the first round, Xiao Zheng, who had just been making conversation with Tang Luo, seemed to have lost his soul, his gaze was complex.

Staring at a stage on the west side, he murmured to himself, “Just as I thought, just as I thought.”

Tang Luo followed Xiao Zheng’s gaze.

It was Shentu Le’an’s stage. He appeared relaxed, as if the battle was merely a warm-up to him and he walked off the stage casually.

As Shentu Le’an’s figure disappeared behind the curtain, Tang Luo turned his gaze back to Xiao Zheng.

In the meantime, Xiao Zheng was chugging from his wine pot, silent.

Sipping the strong liquor, Xiao Zheng’s face was bitter. He trembled as he pulled out a betting slip from his bosom.

Tang Luo glanced at it, it read: Qu Lexian – Two hundred gold coins.

Well, Gambling Saint… Tang Luo looked away, disappointed in the middle-aged man.

“Hiss- Hiss- Hiss!”

What was that noise? Tang Luo turned around to see Xiao Zheng tearing up the betting slip and scattering it on the ground.

Wow, could Xiao see that Qu Lexian would lose right after the first round? He’s got some insight.

“Did you notice something?” Tang Luo chuckled lightly, thinking Xiao was just boasting, but didn’t expect his observation to be decent, although a little late. “Ah.” Xiao Zheng’s response was low-spirited as he placed the empty wine pot on the ground. “Got too greedy, deserved this loss.”
