Especially at the beginning, the three Third Rank Sorcerers who wanted to see Wang Ye in trouble.

Initially, they just wanted to see how miserably Wang Ye would lose in the Divine Stone Workshop.

But later, Ji Shen disguised as a Third Rank Sorcerer to deceive Wang Ye, only to expose his own identity and eventually lose to Wang Ye.

Later on, even the Ji Family's third prodigy, Ji Ru Yu, appeared, and Wang Ye discovered such precious artifacts among them.

And these artifacts.

Even attracted three powerful figures.

You should know, these three powerful figures present are people who are rarely seen, yet now, three of them appeared here directly, and they treated Wang Ye with great respect, all smiling as they spoke to him.

And Wang Ye.

Surrounded by the three of them, his expression was quite calm.

In the eyes of others, these three are significant figures, with extraordinary identities.

But in Wang Ye's view.

If he wanted to take action, he could probably deal with these three guys directly.

Of course, on the surface, Wang Ye remained polite to them.

These people didn't talk about snatching the treasures but wanted to buy them back from him.

Under such circumstances, Wang Ye did not find it necessary to make enemies for himself.

Wang Ye looked at the three of them somewhat apologetically and said:

"The three of you may not know, this large seal, although it's in my hands now, might soon be in Ji Ru Yu's hands."

"Hmm?"

The three powerful figures exchanged glances, speculating in their hearts, first looking at Ji Ru Yu, then turning their gaze to Chen Qingzhi, with questioning eyes.

Chen Qingzhi, seeing this, directly explained the bet that Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu had just made.

Mo Xu gave Wang Ye a deep look.

After all, it's related to the "three votes" in the Sorcerer's Headquarters meeting, and Mo Xu could guess that Wang Ye was scheming something in his mind.

But Mo Xu didn't ask about it in this setting; instead, he said:

"Alright, since the ownership of the large seal is still uncertain, the three of us will wait here for a while."

"Once your competition is over, we can discuss it further."

"Just as well, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop and I both have extensive research in sorcery, so we will act as judges for both of you here."

"I feel there's no problem with that."

The master of the Shen Stone Workshop agreed.

The sorcerers watching around cast envious glances at Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu.

The master of the Shen Stone Workshop and Mo Xu are well-known figures in the sorcerer's domain.

In fact, in the sorcerer's circle, the words of the master of the Shen Stone Workshop and Mo Xu carry decision-making weight.

And now, these two notable figures are going to personally act as judges for Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu.

Niu Kui rubbed his nose with the back of his finger, feeling slightly displeased.

With what they said, he felt somewhat useless here.

But he truly didn't know much about sorcery.

Though he seems like the Guardian Envoy of Nine Dragon Mountain, realistically, to put it unpleasantly, he's just a bodyguard.

A mere bodyguard.

Can you expect him to know about sorcery while being a bodyguard?

Is that possible?

It's naturally impossible.

Niu Kui looked at Mo Xu and the master of the Shen Stone Workshop with some dissatisfaction and finally boomed, "Then I'll keep a watch for you here."

"After all, your item earlier was quite precious. The Power of the Great Dao overflowed, causing almost everyone in Nine Dragon Mountain to sense it. Surely there will be ill-intentioned individuals wanting to snatch it away; so my presence might provide some assurance."

Niu Kui felt a bit guilty saying this.

Since Wang Ye's strength was greater than his own.

If the item could get into trouble while with Wang Ye, then even if he stayed here, he couldn't possibly be of any use.

Wang Ye heard this and glanced over at Niu Kui, with a unique expression in his eyes.

He knew that Niu Kui had seen through his strength.

And he didn't plan to hide anything from Niu Kui.

Niu Kui, already feeling guilty, quickly diverted his gaze when Wang Ye looked at him, pretending to observe the surroundings to guard against others nearby.

Soon.

Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu discussed their approach to the stone gambling this time.

The results of their discussion left the surrounding sorcerers gasping, while Mo Xu, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop, and Niu Kui felt it was quite exciting!

The two of them, each selected ten rough stones.

Finally, the total value of the ten rough stones would be summed up, and the person with the highest total value would win.

After the bet was agreed upon.

Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu started to make their selections.

Watching Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu begin choosing, Mo Xu and the master of the Shen Stone Workshop stood side by side, discussing quietly, ignoring Niu Kui beside them.

Regarding Niu Kui.

Though they thought of him in times of danger.

And showed him respect when facing him.

But in truth, their true thoughts were:

"A crude Martial Warrior!"

"I know about Ji Ru Yu; he directly revealed his identity, but as for the Money Leopard, though he has just arrived, one can clearly tell he's hiding his true identity. Can you discern from his words and actions what his identity might be?"

Mo Xu asked the master of the Shen Stone Workshop.

Though Mo Xu and the master of the Shen Stone Workshop held similar standings in the Sorcerer's Headquarters, Mo Xu leaned more towards research and knew fewer people.

While the master of the Shen Stone Workshop naturally had a merchant's nature and thus came into contact with more individuals.

Moreover, when the Shen Stone Workshop sold various items, it acquired some intelligence, serving as an information source for the master of the Shen Stone Workshop.

Unable to solve the puzzle, Mo Xu straightforwardly sought the master's help.

"That Money Leopard, I feel he resembles..."

Mo Xu pricked up his ears.

The master of the Shen Stone Workshop paused in his speech.

After waiting for a while and seeing the master still silent, Mo Xu, anxious, nudged him with an elbow and urged:

"At this point, stop leaving us hanging. Just say it outright, who do you think he resembles?"

"I do want to leave you hanging."

The master's voice carried some helplessness: "My initial thought was he resembles Ye Zhou, but upon second thought, there are still some differences between Ye Zhou and him."
