Ge Zhou almost cursed in his heart.
However, he managed to hold back, deliberately maintaining a calm expression as if he hadn't said anything at all.
He even feigned confusion, asking, "Why is everyone looking at me? Do I have flowers on my face?"
Shameless.
Absolutely shameless!
Everyone admired Ge Zhou's psychological resilience, bowing to it completely.
Under the gaze of so many eyes, he could still pretend as if nothing had happened. Just this thick skin alone was thicker than a city wall.
"Wasn't it you who said that? I seemed to hear those words coming from your mouth," Qin Chen asked, puzzled.
"Young Hero Chen, it was him!" Lin Tian and Zhang Ying called out in unison.
"Really?" Ge Zhou looked around in confusion, shaking his head. "I don't know which of your ears heard me say that. Anyway, I never said it."
"Wasn't it you?"
"Of course not."
Ge Zhou declared righteously, "I, Ge Zhou, am an upright person, not someone who doesn't own up to their words or breaks promises!"
Everyone's lips twitched, truly marveling at Ge Zhou's ability to lie through his teeth.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, even Yan Ruyu's eyes, Ge Zhou was extremely frustrated, wishing he could just smack his own mouth.
For letting himself spout such nonsense.
But at this moment, he absolutely could not admit it.
"Oh, as long as it wasn't you."
Qin Chen nodded, seemingly convinced. "You seem like an upright person and not the kind who speaks and doesn't own up to it, an animal without integrity. Such people are worse than pigs and dogs, whose descendants would be born without an anus. You don't seem like that type, do you?"
You're the one whose descendants will be born without an anus.
Your entire family will be without an anus.
Ge Zhou cursed internally, his hair standing on end with rage, wishing he could hack Qin Chen to pieces on the spot.
But at this moment, he could only endure the humiliation, with a strange expression, bitter as if constipated, "Yes... maybe!"
After saying this, Ge Zhou almost cried.
For cursing himself, for letting himself be so careless just now.
Everyone looked at Ge Zhou's pained expression, all speechless.
Making Ge Zhou curse himself, Qin Chen was truly wicked.
Fortunately, it wasn't them who said those words just now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our monthly Treasure Gambling Conference at the Jubao Pavilion is about to begin."
At this moment, Lou Guan Shi from the Jubao Pavilion suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone's attention was drawn over.
Lou Guan Shi clapped his hands, and suddenly, a group of beauties in gauze skirts walked out from the back of the second floor, each carrying a tray filled with numerous ancient artifacts.
These artifacts were all quite old, covered with moss and rocks, of various shapes, exuding a sense of antiquity.
There were over a hundred pieces.
The beauties of the Jubao Pavilion walked back and forth a few times, neatly placing all these artifacts on a long table of yellow pear wood, which stretched for dozens of meters, soon filled with all kinds of peculiar ancient items.
"Wow!"
The nobles and wealthy people scattered on the second floor of the Jubao Pavilion rushed to the yellow pear wood table, their eyes glowing with excitement.
Their hands continuously touched each item, as if they were caressing smooth-skinned naked women, tenderly.
Qin Chen was stunned.
They were merely artifacts unearthed from ruins, was there any need to be so excited?
"Zhang Ying, Lin Tian, let's go!"
Qin Chen shook his head, planning to call Zhang Ying and Lin Tian to leave, but when he turned his head, he saw the two of them with glowing eyes, looking at the crowded yellow pear wood table like hungry wolves.
"Young Hero Chen, let's take a look too?"
"Yes, yes, treasure gambling, I've never seen it before."
"I heard someone once spent ten silver coins at the Jubao Pavilion to gamble a fourth-grade Xuan weapon and became a millionaire."
Lin Tian and Zhang Ying said excitedly, their hearts seemingly already at the gambling table.
"Well... fine, I'll accompany you two to take a look."
