Chapter 463: Have You Played Before?
Cheng Zhuo’s words aroused the interest of everyone present, and even Yu Qing Qian began to wonder what the gambling meet gambled with and how it was played.
The Underground Palace built by Mo Tian Hall ranked first among the entertainment organisations on the entire continent with an absolute advantage, which was inseparable from the various unique ways of playing.
“Come, come, drink first. These are fine wines brewed from seabed spiritual herbs and fruits. It’s usually difficult to taste them.” Cheng Zhuo raised his wine cup and said to everyone.
Others also raised their cups and returned his toast.
Yu Qing Qian discovered that although the wine tasted light, but after drinking it, her abdomen would feel like there was a small fire burning in it, which made her feel very comfortable, and it felt very unique.
“Xiao Qing Qing, this wine smells good, remember to bring me a few pots later.” Gu Yan’s voice sounded at just the right time.
Yu Qing Qian said with amusement: “Master, you can even smell wine when you release your heart energy?”
“Of course, your Master has a very sensitive nose.” Gu Yan was very proud.
“Got it, I’ll get you a few pots later. This wine does indeed taste pretty special. Even I, who doesn’t usually drink light wine, can’t help but like it.”
“That’s my good disciple.”
There was still some time before the gambling meet would begin, so the pupils who were familiar with each other in the two Academies drank and chattered amongst each other.
Huo Li Ruo consciously sat beside Yu Qing Qian, but kept a distance, then chatted with the three of them.
“You have poor tolerance, you better drink less.” Yu Qing Qian teased with a smile.
Huo Li Ruo rolled his eyes at her unhappily, “This wine isn’t easy to get drunk on.”
Yu Qing Qian played with the wine cup and asked: “Have you lot ever played at this gambling meet before?”
Feng Chen spoke first, “This is my first time in Hai City too, and I’ve only heard of this particular Underground Palace, but I don’t know the details.”
Yu Qing Qian knew that Feng Chen had a rather cold personality, and he probably wouldn’t often visit a lively place like the Underground Palace where people mainly came to entertain themselves.
“I haven’t played either.” Chi Mo Ran took a sip of wine and said.
So Yu Qing Qian’s eyes fell on Huo Li Ruo, “I think you’re quite familiar with this place, introduce it to me.”
Huo Li Ruo leaned back on the chair with a wine cup in his hand, “You really have a keen eye! I did come here once before entering the Imperial Academy last year, but at the time, I only participated in a treasure snatching event and I’ve really never played at this gambling meet either.
“But I’ve heard of the rules of the gambling meet, so you just need to prepare more spiritual jade and treasures.”
Huo Li Ruo asked with a smile instead: “By the way, I heard you got a lot of spiritual plants in the secret grounds of the Holy Academy, how about selling me a few?”
Yu Qing Qian had a good relationship with Huo Li Ruo in the Royal Academy and promised him that she’d be a good friend who could trust their backs to each other. She was long well-prepared and took out a box, handing it to him.
“This is the only spiritual plant I got from the secret grounds that’s more suitable for you. As for spiritual jade, no need, just consider it a meeting gift.”
Huo Li Ruo picked up the box leisurely and opened it. A lavender plant laid inside with a trace of lightning power lingering around. He immediately closed the box and the colour in his eyes deepened.
When they were completing missions together in the Royal Academy, he once said that he wanted to find a spiritual plant with the lightning attribute, but he didn’t expect Yu Qing Qian to take it to heart.
Even if she cared about him like this simply because she treated him as a friend, Huo Li Ruo still felt warm and happy.
“At least you didn’t put love before friendship.” Huo Li Ruo put the box away with a devilish smile on his handsome face: “I won’t be polite with you then.”
While they were chatting, all the maids playing the qin in the hall withdrew, and the beautiful woman named Nong Nong who had hosted the treasure-snatching event in the Underground Palace of the Central Continent appeared in the hall.
