1804 Chapter 1,705, the gambling match (first watch)
The shocking phenomenon of heaven and earth shook the entire imperial city.
From ordinary soldiers to experts within the imperial palace, all of them were shocked and ecstatic as they stared at the golden clouds in the sky.
Dao Rain!
The dao rain that arrived on schedule!
Dong, Dong, Dong --
Deep within the imperial palace, the sound of a loud bell rang out and spread throughout the entire imperial city.
Su Yu, who was within the Imperial City, was even more deafened.
With a clang, Princess Ru Chen hurriedly pushed open the door with a face full of surprise and joy. “Imperial brother, the Dao Rain is about to arrive. Let’s hurry to the designated location.”
“Since the first-grade dao rain area is reserved exclusively for the imperial family, are we still afraid of being occupied by outsiders?”
Princess ru Chen said impatiently, “Even if it’s the first-grade dao rain area, there’s still a difference between good and bad. The good location has ten percent more dao rain.”
Then it wouldn’t be good to stay for long.
The two quickly left the mansion and arrived at the sacrificial altar that had long been prepared.
This was the center of the Imperial Palace, with a radius of less than a mile. Normally, it was used for sacrificial purposes, but this time, it had become the center of the Dao Rain.
The entire sacrificial altar was surrounded by a powerful array. From the strength of the array, even the two crowned emperors wouldn’t be able to break through the defense and break in.
This was the range of the first-grade dao rain, and only the imperial family was allowed to enter.
The range from the outside of the altar to the palace walls was the range of the second-grade dao rain. Only the heirs of conferred princes and those with great contributions could be here.
The range from the outside of the city walls to the borders of the imperial city was the range of the third-grade dao rain.
The range outside of the imperial city was the fourth-grade dao rain.
The difference between each range of the dao rain was like the difference between heaven and earth.
One could imagine how eye-catching the first tier of Dao Rain was.
Many nobles who had already reached the Emperor Realm or did not need dao rain to specially come outside the temple of heaven to observe the people of the imperial family being baptized by Dao Rain.
Among them was the first prince, whose cultivation had long reached the emperor realm.
The fifth prince stood upright beside him. The two of them were full of confidence and their eyes constantly scanned the crowd as if they were looking for something.
Suddenly, the fifth Prince’s gaze turned cold as he locked onto princess ru Chen and Su Yu who had just arrived.
“They’re here. I’ll go over First!”The fifth Prince said.
The first prince nodded. “It’s up to you.”
“Don’t worry, eldest brother. I’ll definitely get sixth brother to beg to come find me.”
Su Yu and princess ru Chen rushed to the front of the altar of heaven and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the people from the royal family had basically all arrived, the restriction on the altar had not been activated yet. There was no need to worry that the good positions had already been taken.
She fixed her gaze on the altar, which was less than a mile long. There were only 100 designated spots.
With the altar as the center, there were ten rows of radial branches on the periphery of the altar.
“I’ll try my best to snatch the spots in the first few rows later. The dao rain there is even denser.”Princess ru Chen was a little excited.
The dao rain that came once every 30,000 years. Such a great opportunity had to be grasped well.
As long as the law was condensed in the inner mansion, then the greatest obstacle to becoming an emperor would be swept away.
Sweeping his gaze over the other members of the royal family, they also looked at the first few rows of seats with burning gazes. It seemed that those seats would definitely be contested for.
“Sixth prince, you’ve come quite early.”An unfriendly ridicule floated over.
Su Yu glanced sideways, then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.
“Hehe, you’ve just become a prince, yet you’re already so arrogant. No wonder you look down on us.”The fifth Prince walked over, crossed his arms, and sneered.
Su Yu still turned a deaf ear, treating this person as if he did not exist.
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I Said?”Being ignored repeatedly, the fifth prince was somewhat angry.
Because of his arrival, he had long been watched in secret by countless people, and they all looked like they were watching a good show.
Everyone knew that the fifth Prince had been reprimanded and warned by the emperor because of the sixth prince’s matter. He had lost a lot of face. Seeing him take the initiative to find fault with him today, they all felt that there was a good show to watch.
Only then did Su Yu frown slightly. He glanced at the fifth prince. “Am I very close to you? Why should I answer your question?”
The fifth prince sneered. “You’re indeed arrogant! I don’t know if you have the guts to gamble with me...”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Su Yu interrupted him and said, “I’m not interested in betting with you. No matter what you bet, it’s because you’re just short of having the words ‘I have a plot to plot against you’engraved on your face.”
“Please, if you want to plot against someone, please restrain your expression. At the very least, you have to put on an act. Your attitude is really not professional enough. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”
The sharp sarcasm that hit the nail on the head caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.
The first prince, who was watching from afar, could not help but shake his head. “What an idiot!”
The fifth Prince’s face was flushed red, and his face was filled with embarrassment and anger. He wished that he could make a move at this moment and smash Su Yu’s hateful face into pieces with one punch.
“Sixth prince! ! Are You a man?”The fifth prince shouted.
He wanted to provoke Su Yu, but in the eyes of the crowd, he appeared rather childish.
“Hehe, do I need you to question whether I am a man or not?”Su Yu retorted without holding back.
The fifth prince said, “Are you going to bet or not?”
Su Yu ridiculed, “Are you asking whether I am willing to be cheated by you or not? Don’t you think this question is rather idiotic?”
The onlookers shook their heads secretly. Perhaps the fifth Prince’s experience was much deeper, but in terms of tongue, he was still a flower that had been nurtured in a greenhouse. Compared to Su Yu, he was still too young.
The fifth prince was extremely angry. Everything was different from what he had imagined.
He had followed the plan to provoke Su Yu first, infuriate the other party, and then make a further bet.
In the end, Su Yu was unusually experienced. Instead, he had easily pushed him to the edge of fury.
“You, you...”the fifth prince was extremely angry, but he had no idea what to do. He stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say next.
At this moment, he heard Su Yu sigh with some pity and sympathy. “Sigh! Alright, I’ll just force myself to do it. I’ll fall for your trick. I’ll bet with you. Tell me, what do you want to Bet?”
In the end, Su Yu still accepted the bet, but the fifth prince felt like he had eaten a big bowl of live flies. He did not feel happy at all that his plan had succeeded. On the contrary, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
This was especially so for the mocking and teasing gazes of the onlookers.
It was as if the one who had been tricked was not Su Yu, but an idiot like him.
Just who was tricking who? At this moment, the fifth Prince had an extremely bad feeling.
But at this moment, he was already riding a tiger and could not get down. He braced himself and said, “Let’s bet on who has condensed the inner mansion law to be more complete!”
“What about the bet?”
“The bet is 100,000 divine stones. It’s not enough to write an IOU.”At this moment, the fifth prince finally found some confidence.
He had saved up 100,000 divine stones over the years.
But Su Yu obviously could not have so many. If he lost and could not take them out, the fifth Prince would become his creditor.
At that time, he could do whatever he wanted to the sixth prince. It would be extremely easy to force him to kneel and beg for mercy.
One hundred thousand? It was indeed a considerable sum of divine stones.
Considering that the ten thousand treasures hall had only accumulated thirty thousand divine stones over the years, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to obtain thirty thousand divine stones.
It would be even more impossible if it was one hundred thousand.
He immediately guessed the other party’s plan.
“Do you dare to Bet? Our cultivation levels are the same. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be much difference,”the fifth Prince said.
Princess Ru Chen, who was listening by the side, couldn’t help but feel annoyed. “Fifth brother’s ability to choose to ignore is quite high. What do you mean there’s no difference? First, sixth brother didn’t get the rain-stabilizing needle, and second, he didn’t have time to be rewarded by his father with the Blood Crystal Bodhi. How could he compare to you? Sixth brother was destined to lose from the start of this gamble, and you still have the nerve to speak!”
Many of the spectators were secretly surprised when they heard this, but they were not surprised at all.
The rain-stabilizing needle was distributed by the clansmen’s residence, and the relationship between the fifth Prince and the other princes and the clansmen’s residence was much deeper than that of the sixth prince who had just become a prince.
It was not difficult to make things difficult for Su Yu to not obtain the rain-stabilizing needle.
In addition, the Blood Crystal Bodhi was in Dongfang Xia’s hands, so there was no time to bestow it to Su Yu.
In this way, Su Yu was two steps behind. How could he compare to the fifth prince?
This competition was destined for Su Yu to lose before it even started.
The fifth prince snorted. “The condensation of laws mainly depends on one’s own body. These external objects won’t affect much.”
Princess ru Chen smiled. “Is that so? Then can the fifth prince hand over the two objects?”
The fifth prince said with conviction, “What’s the point of saying so much nonsense? If the sixth prince really has the guts, then compete with Me!”
The crowd saw this and cursed endlessly in their hearts. Being shameless to this extent could already be considered top-notch.
If they believed that Su Yu’s intelligence did not have a problem, then he would definitely not accept the bet, right?
“Alright, I’ll bet.”
No one had expected that Su Yu would agree with a relaxed expression.
The onlookers were dumbfounded. They could not believe their ears. He actually agreed. Wasn’t this a clear loss?
A whole hundred thousand divine stones. How could he return it?
“Good! The BET is established. No regrets!”The fifth Prince immediately said, afraid that Su Yu would go back on his word.
He was so happy in his heart. Actually, at this point, he thought that the bet would be very unlikely to be established. Who knew that Su Yu would agree.
“Should we ask a witness to establish a contract?”Su Yu said.
The fifth prince nodded. “Alright, I think the first prince is not bad. As our elder brother, he has the most right to act as a witness!”
Everyone turned their gazes to him. The first prince nodded and smiled. He was very happy to be the witness.
“It’s all thanks to fifth brother and sixth brother that they don’t mind. I’ll do my best to bear witness for once...”
“I’m sorry, I really don’t like it.”Su Yu’s words were so shocking that he would not rest until he was dead. He directly swept the first Prince’s face.
The first prince’s footsteps froze slightly as he walked over. His eyes were filled with traces of anger.
The fifth prince frowned and said, “Then who do you want to invite?”
No one could invite the first prince. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fifth prince and the first prince were wearing the same pair of pants. If he was asked to do a forensic examination, there would definitely be a lot of trouble afterwards.
“Let eunuch Cao do it.”
Him? The fifth prince frowned slightly and did not have any other opinions. “If it’s eunuch Cao, it’s fine. I just don’t know what eunuch Cao’s opinion is.”
Eunuch Cao, who was watching from the side, had a smile on his face. He was naturally happy to simply be a witness and show off his superior status.
“Thank you for the favor of the two princes. I am filled with fear and trepidation and am willing to be a witness for the two princes,”eunuch Cao said.
This way, it was decided.
The huge gamble of 100,000 divine stones immediately attracted even more onlookers.
The first prince, who had been neglected, rolled his eyes slightly and said loudly, “Hehe, fifth brother and sixth brother are in such high spirits. As the eldest brother, I can’t remain indifferent. How about this? I’ll be the banker and open another bet.”
