Chapter 1,434 The day of competition
"Young Master, Master Miao has already announced that he will have a competition with you tomorrow at the Ancient Jade Festival."
The subordinate said again.
"What? Tomorrow?"
Hong Qi's face turned pale, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. Then, his expression became a little tearful.
Originally, Hong Qi was still thinking about whether to leave Wuzong City, return to Scarlet Qiu Sect, and pretend to practice in seclusion to escape this disaster.
However, Master Miao's challenge is tomorrow. There is no way he can leave Wuzong City overnight. That would be too obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that he is hiding!
But, do we really want to compete with Master Miao?
One wonders how many people will pay attention to Master Miao's competition. And he, Hong Qi, knows how much he weighs.
Maybe it was a coincidence today, or some other reason, but he was extremely lucky anyway. But tomorrow, he won't have such good luck.
If it was simply a matter of losing to Master Miao, then it wouldn't matter. However, what should he do if he can't even pick out a decent rough stone during the competition?
At that time, in front of so many people, he will be greatly embarrassed, and he may even be ruined and be laughed at by everyone for the rest of his life!
"Congratulations, Brother Hong. Starting from tomorrow, you will become famous."
Su Chen smiled.
"Brother Su, stop joking and help me figure out what to do to get rid of this competition."
Hong Qi said with a grimace.
"Turn it down? Why should you turn it down? This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself."
Su Chen said.
"Alas! Brother Su, in fact, I know best how many pounds I have. If you ask me to compete with Master Miao, wouldn't I be humiliating myself?"
Hong Qi said with a grimace.
"What does that matter? Master Miao is already a lot older. Even if you lose to him, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
Su Chen said, "But even if you lose, being able to compete with such a master will make you very honored."
"That makes sense."
Hong Qi was obviously a little tempted by Su Chen's words. It was indeed as Su Chen said, so what if he lost?
As long as I can pick out a more or less decent rough stone, I won't be embarrassed in this competition. On the contrary, I might actually become famous!
"Okay! Anyway, it's just a try, I'll give it a go!"
Hong Qi made up his mind, stood up suddenly, and walked out.
"Master, where are you going? The competition is tomorrow!"
His men shouted after him.
"I'm going to find a quiet place to recharge my batteries so that I don't perform poorly tomorrow!"
Hong Qi's voice came from far outside the door.
…
The competition between Master Miao and Hong Qi soon spread in Wuzong City.
Regarding this matter, many people had a casual attitude of watching the excitement, because they knew that Hong Qi had no chance of winning Master Miao.
Early the next morning, Hong Qi showed up with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept all night, and he kept circling in the hotel lobby anxiously.
"Brother Hong, you have to have confidence. Think about it yesterday, the mutated Yao Immortal Ice Jade was so rare and you won the bet. Aren't you just a bad old man? You can definitely do it."
Su Chen smiled.
"Okay, you're right, he's just a bad old man, who should be afraid of him!"
Hong Qi took a deep breath, put on a risk-taking attitude, and shouted loudly. It feels like whoever has the loudest voice will win.
"Okay, Xiao Yan'er, let's go!"
Su Chen smiled and waved to Shu Yan, and walked out of the inn with Hong Qi. This time, he must be helping Hong Qi, after all, this guy left a good impression on him.
"Hey, Brother Su, aren't your other companions going?"
Hong Qi asked curiously.
"They want to visit other places in Wuzong City. Xiao Yaner can just go with me."
Su Chen smiled and touched Shu Yan's head.
Soon, they arrived at the venue for the ancient jade event.
At this moment, in the gambling area of the venue, a special hall has been vacated specifically for this competition.
In the center of the hall, Lan Kai and Master Miao were sitting on two chairs drinking tea, feeling the awed eyes from all directions, and feeling indescribably comfortable inside.
Master Miao half-squinted his eyes, with a light flashing from time to time. Obviously, he was also very curious about Hong Qi who could identify the mutated Yao Immortal Ice Jade.
Soon after, Hong Qi and Su Chen entered the hall.
As soon as Lan Kai saw Su Chen, his eyes immediately turned into a smile.
