Chapter 506

Wen Dabao paled . He loved the fact that he had just seen six stars perform . However, he had lost his entire vault of savings in the process .

γ€€

His feelings right now were difficult to describe .

γ€€γ€€

As for all seven stars?

γ€€

He had thought about it, but Ping Yang was right . The boss of the Seven Star Lane was no dumb .

The betting table had been set up just outside his place . If he didn't know that there was 130,000 riding on all seven appearing, then he wasn't fit to be the boss .

No matter what . . .

There was no way all seven would appear today .

The sound of the bianzhong died down . Then, the lady bowed to the crowd .

At that moment, everyone rose to give a standing ovation!

"That was stellar!"

"Yes! When is s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ going to perform for us again?"

"It is our good fortune to have been graced by the presence of six stars today!"

γ€€

As they stood up to clap, they all looked at the seventh platform, smiling as they did so .

γ€€γ€€

The seventh platform didn't light up .

γ€€γ€€

"Only six!"

"Hahaha, all seven? What a joke!"

γ€€

"Hahaha does he really think he is that lucky? Even if he is, he should bet on something more realistic!"

γ€€

The crowd began to chuckle when they saw that the seventh platform had yet to light up .

The results were out . . .

γ€€

Actually, the results had been decided the moment there was 130,000 riding on that bet . It wasn't going to happen tonight .

The boss of the Seven Star Lane was not stupid .

That was what everyone thought . They looked at Fang Zhengzhi mockingly .

Then . . .

γ€€

Their mockery turned into doubt and confusion . They saw that Fang Zhengzhi stood up and stared at the seventh platform .

γ€€

"Come down!"

γ€€

The words were simple and said calmly . However, the entire Seven Star Lane was quiet .

γ€€γ€€

All of the instruments stopped playing at that moment . No one made a single sound . Even the waitresses stopped what they were doing .

This had shocked everyone there and they stared at the figure standing in the middle of the room .

γ€€

However, the silence was quickly broken . The crowd laughed at the top of their lungs . They couldn't believe what they had just heard .

"Hahaha . . . what did I just hear? Did he say come down?!"

γ€€

"Yes, come down! Who does he think he is?"

γ€€γ€€

"This is the most hilarious thing that I have heard since coming here! Who points to the platform and demands a star come down? Hahaha . . . this is killing me!"

"Does he really think that the boss of the Seven Star Lane will listen to him?"

γ€€γ€€

The crowd laughed hysterically . They ignored the fact that Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were beside Fang Zhengzhi . This was too ridiculous .

γ€€γ€€

To them . . .

γ€€

This was a joke . It was the biggest joke they had ever witnessed .

Ping Yang was completely shocked as well . She had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi was doing .

γ€€

Yan Xiu was looking at Fang Zhengzhi as well . His icy expression gave away little, but one could see that he was deep in thought by the glow in his eyes .

γ€€

Wen Dabao wanted to laugh as well but he suppressed it . He knew what the consequences would be if he laughed, so he did his best to suppress it .

This caused his face to turn completely red .

γ€€

However, within moments, all the blood drained from his face . This was from the shock and horror as a result of what he saw .

γ€€

Wen Dabao's eyes were actually really small . But now . . .

γ€€

They were about to pop out of their sockets .

His eyes were filled with disbelief . He simply couldn't bring himself to believe that this was really happening .

γ€€

Because . . .

γ€€γ€€

The seventh platform lit up .

γ€€

That was a pale yellow, almost golden light . It shone down from the ceiling and on the platform, staining it golden .

γ€€

"It . . . lit, lit, lit up?!" Wen Dabao's lips quivered as he looked at the golden light on the platform . He was utterly floored .

γ€€

He was not alone . Most of the crowd couldn't believe their eyes . When the golden light shone on that platform, the crowd fell silent . . .

γ€€

The laughter died down almost instantly and was replaced by a pin-drop silence .

γ€€

It was so sudden that most people couldn't even react in time . Theo bodies were frozen and their minds were blank .

γ€€

No one could figure out what was happening . No one understood why the seventh platform would light up either .

Then . . .

γ€€

A figure landed on the platform .

γ€€

This lady was in a golden dress, her silky smooth hair falling to her waist . She had a maroon guqin in her hands .

"It's . . . it's Luo . . . Luoqin!"

γ€€

"It really is Luoqin!"

γ€€γ€€

"Am . . . am I seeing things? Luoqin is performing?!"

γ€€

No one in the crowd could believe their eyes . All of them were filled with surprise and shock when they saw Luoqin .

γ€€

When Luoqin landed on her platform, this signifies that tonight was an extraordinary night .

γ€€γ€€

Seven stars . . .

All seven stars!

γ€€

This was something that had happened only once in the past one and a half years . Yet, this was happening tonight!

γ€€

That was not the most important part . They simply couldn't believe that the seven stars would appear tonight .

γ€€

This was utterly unbelievable .

γ€€

"No way . . . why would Luoqin listen to him?!"

γ€€γ€€

"What is happening?"

γ€€γ€€

"You have to be kidding me . Is the boss of the Seven Star Lane mad? Why would he let Luoqin come down? That's 1 . 3 million silvers!"

γ€€γ€€

"No way . . . I must be seeing things . . . I must be seeing things . . . "

γ€€

No one could believe their eyes when they saw Luoqin now to them . They were so stunned that they forgot to scream and clap .

γ€€

Calling this a miracle would be a gross understatement . There were no words to describe the shock they had just experienced .

γ€€

"Ding!"

γ€€

The music from the Guqin filled the air .

γ€€

It sounded calm and smooth, almost like a light breeze caressing the surface of a lake . Then, there was the feeling of a light drizzle causing little ripples on the surface .

γ€€

Everyone calmed down when they heard this music . It soothed the raging ocean of emotions in the room .

γ€€

A calming and relaxing sensation came over everyone .

γ€€

Finally, the music stopped .

γ€€γ€€

Everyone looked away from Luoqin . They turned to look at the seated figure in the middle of the room .

γ€€

Fang Zhengzhi!

γ€€

"He guessed it!"

γ€€γ€€

"How did he manage to guess that? Is he even human?"

"Is he a monster? Even monsters aren't capable of being so accurate in their predictions . Do you think he is related to the Seven Star . . . "

γ€€

"No way! How powerful is the Seven Star Lane? He is a peasant by birth! Why would he be related to them?"

γ€€γ€€

"Most importantly, this is the capital! There are so many people going in and out every day . He couldn't possibly have been hiding here for the past year!"

γ€€γ€€

"Yes, the only reason why he managed to enter the city this time was because Chi Hou and Yan Xiu were escorting him . Furthermore, he had a.s.sistance from Ping Yang . Else, he would not have been able to enter! How could he possibly have hid here over the past year?"

γ€€

The crowd had calmed down initially . However, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, a wave of emotions came over them and they began to become boisterous again .

γ€€

They couldn't understand . . .

γ€€

Why would Luoqin appear right after Fang Zhengzhi said 'come down!'?

γ€€

Was it a coincidence?

γ€€

The crowd looked at each other and nodded . They couldn't think of any other possibilities

γ€€γ€€

After all, Fang Zhengzhi's background was an open secret .

γ€€

He was a peasant .

He only had one friend, Yan Xiu . Even though Yan Xiu was powerful and influential, his family would never meddle in the affairs of the Seven Star Lane .

γ€€

Without considering anything else . . .

Yan Qianli wouldn't allow it!

γ€€

As for Ping Yang?

γ€€

That was impossible as well! Why would a princess open a place like this in the capital? Ping Yang didn't need the money .

So how did Fang Zhengzhi manage to get it right everytime?

γ€€

Even if Fang Zhengzhi knew the person who owned the Seven Star Lane, this night would cost the owner 1 . 3 million silvers!

What relations.h.i.+p was worth that much money?

Even the tax collected by a single province barely reached one million silvers . Even though business was brisk, 1 . 3 million was not a small sum .

As such . . .

This should never have happened!

γ€€

The only possible reason was that this was a coincidence! But what was the boss thinking? Why would he not change the plan knowing that he would lose 1 . 3 million silvers?

γ€€

Was he really that willful?

γ€€

No one in the crowd could understand it . At that moment, a figure fell to his knees, tears of regret rolling down his cheeks .

γ€€γ€€

Young Master Fang, I, Wen Dabao, am an idiot . . . I should never have doubted you . I should have followed your bets! Next time, I will bet on whatever you bet . Even if you bet on eight, nine, or even 10! I will never doubt you . . . since you won 300,000 silvers, please spare me some!"

γ€€γ€€

Wen Dabao lunged for Fang Zhengzhi's right leg as he bawled .

γ€€

At that very moment, there was a voice next to him .

"Scram!"

Then, he felt a wave of force crash into his face . He began tumbling backward .

He crashed into the seat of another member of the crowd .

γ€€

"Plonk!"

Before that man could react, Wen Dabao was sent cras.h.i.+ng into him . He fell to the ground and broke a tooth .

γ€€

Just as he was about to swear, he saw a red figure stand up .

γ€€γ€€

Then . . .

γ€€

Both Wen Dabao and that member of the crowd shut up instantly .

γ€€γ€€

Usually, they would have the right to speak . However, when faced with Ping Yang, all their rights went out the window .

γ€€γ€€

"Not bad, this place is pretty generous!" Ping Yang chuckled and smiled at Fang Zhengzhi .

γ€€γ€€

Actually . . .

γ€€γ€€

Anyone who had just won 450,000 silvers in one sitting would be smiling this radiantly, even if they didn't need the silvers .

γ€€

"I can let everyone but one person down!" Fang Zhengzhi smirked when he looked at Ping Yang . He knew what she was thinking .

γ€€

Sometimes, a decision may look dumb or stupid . No one may understand your decision and everyone may think that you've lost your mind .

γ€€γ€€

But it didn't matter .

γ€€γ€€

That was a necessary cause of action .

In his previous world, there was a saying . I would rather betray everyone in the world than to have one person betray me .

γ€€γ€€

To Fang Zhengzhi, he could betray everyone in the world but one person . That person had rushed to the Northern Mountain Village from Western Liang in three days .

γ€€γ€€

That man's name . . .

γ€€

Yan Xiu!

γ€€γ€€

It was decided from the moment Yan Xiu bet on all seven stars appearing . He would not be disappointed tonight!
