A few people seemed to see a turning point in the scolding words Wang Ye directed at Hui Hui.
Hui Hui also gave Wang Ye a slightly puzzled look.
She was reminding Wang Ye.
The person across had no jade token.
If he deceives her master, wouldn't it be disadvantageous for her master to compete with the other party later?
Just as Hui Hui was about to say more, Wang Ye's voice directly came to her ears: "Of course I know they want to deceive me. But now, it's not certain who is deceiving whom! Don't worry, I can beat them!"
While transmitting sound to Hui Hui, Wang Ye added a bit of Dao resonance to his voice.
This Dao resonance inexplicably made Hui Hui believe Wang Ye.
So she didn't say anything more.
And Wang Ye continued:
"You see, since the Sea King brothers willingly want to befriend me, they surely don't intend to deceive me. They genuinely want to be my friends."
"They treat me with sincerity, so I need to treat others with sincerity too. Since we're all friends, how could the Sea King brothers possibly deceive me?"
"Not having a jade token may just be because the Sea King magician forgot to bring it. But the fact that the Sea King magician is a Third Rank Sorcerer definitely isn't a deception."
"Otherwise, what could the Sea King brother be? A Second Rank Sorcerer? If a dignified Second Rank Sorcerer still comes to bully me, then he'd truly be a disgrace to all Second Rank Sorcerers! As soon as I saw the Sea King brother, I knew he was a principled person. How could he do something so shameless!"
Snicker.
Wang Ye's words made a few magicians nearby, who were planning to see him fail, burst into laughter.
Wang Ye chose to believe in Ji Shen like this, which relaxed their emotions. Moreover, Wang Ye's words were like he was scolding the Sea King, giving them a sense of satisfaction from standing outside the game and seeing the truth unfold.
Ji Shen's mouth twitched a few times.
Even though Wang Ye believed him and didn't pursue the jade token issue, he felt as though Wang Ye said those words on purpose, as if scolding him.
Soon.
Ji Shen shook his head.
No longer thinking about this issue.
Wang Ye didn't know he was a Second Rank Sorcerer, so Wang Ye wasn't scolding him.
Looking at Wang Ye, he had a slightly mocking expression in his eyes.
Initially, when Wang Ye said that sentence outside, he thought Wang Ye was a smart person, but now it seems that's not the case.
He's just someone who thinks he's smart.
But in fact, has no intelligence at all.
"Then let's start stone gambling. First, let's have a round where everyone selects a stone to see who can get the best result. The loser hands over whatever they get, no matter what it is, to the other, how about that?"
After Ji Shen said this sentence.
He was secretly pleased with the betting terms he had set.
In this way, he could even save the money for buying raw stones.
Even if Wang Ye ended up with nothing except for some high-quality Spirit Stones, he'd still profit.
"Okay!"
Wang Ye instantly agreed.
"But..."
Here, Wang Ye's tone changed.
The change in Wang Ye's tone made Ji Shen a bit uneasy.
Could it be that Wang Ye discovered something?
So he set rules targeting if he was a Second Rank Sorcerer?
If so, even if he won against Wang Ye, he might end up with nothing.
Wang Ye instead turned his gaze to several bystanders standing around.
Ji Shen was puzzled when he saw Wang Ye look at the few onlookers instead of him.
The few onlookers were also a bit confused.
You are making a bet; why look at us mere spectators?
Wang Ye looked at them with a smiling expression, his face showing a hint of humility, even embarrassment, which instantly gave them a bad feeling.
Just by the fact that Wang Ye said those words before entering the Divine Stone Workshop, you could tell Wang Ye certainly wasn't a nice person. Now, looking at them like this was definitely fishy.
Then they heard Wang Ye speak to them:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just arrived at the Divine Stone Workshop and hadn't witnessed its challenges before. By saying what I did before, I may have offended you."
"This time, as I'm gambling stones with Mr. Hai, if any of you are interested, you can join in. For instance, bet on whether Mr. Hai or I will win."
A hint of a smile appeared on the faces of the previously somewhat apprehensive magicians upon hearing Wang Ye's words.
Originally, they thought Wang Ye was planning to cause them trouble.
Unexpectedly, he was inviting them to participate.
If they joined in, wouldn't it mean they could earn a hefty sum?
After all, Wang Ye didn't know, but they did. The one competing with Wang Ye, claiming to be a Third Rank Sorcerer, was actually a Second Rank Sorcerer.
How could Wang Ye win against him?
It's just self-inflicted humiliation.
Ji Shen, on this side, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had some impression of those observing magicians.
Just now, when he was gambling stones inside, these onlookers were already there and naturally aware of his Second Rank Sorcerer identity.
Initially, he worried that during the competition, if these few revealed his identity, it would be problematic.
Now that Wang Ye had spoken, he no longer needed to worry about that.
What was there to be afraid of?
These bystanders would undoubtedly bet on his win.
Since that's the case, it means they already stood from the outset on a shared interest point.
Even if these observing magicians knew his identity, they wouldn't reveal it because of their interest aligned with his.
Thinking this, Ji Shen smiled as he addressed the nearby magicians, "Indeed, if you'd like to join the wager, feel free to give it a try."
Ji Shen's tone was enthusiastic.
Wang Ye also snorted silently in his heart.
Even if he didn't know Ji Shen was a Second Rank Sorcerer, just by Ji Shen's attitude alone, he could feel something was off.
Otherwise, why so eagerly pull outsiders into this?
These onlookers probably also knew Ji Shen was a Second Rank Sorcerer.
And other magicians present also gathered around.
