Chapter 396: Purple Fish Palace 19

Look how smart he was, directly transferring those one thousand five hundred green crystal stones to Nangong Liuyun, making himself debt-free and light. Google search to read.

As for whether Nangong Liuyun could afford the debt, that was not something he needed to consider.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd all widened their eyes, staring in shock at the group of people in front of them.

It had always been known that the Crown Prince and Prince Jin were at odds, but they had never faced off directly. Now that the two were clashing head-on, such a good show was rare to see.

The onlookers all stared at the two with extreme excitement, all speculating on who would win.

Reason told them that Prince Jin would never lose.

But their eyes and the facts told them that the Crown Prince was holding that crystal purple fish in his hand—it was absolutely genuine!

So, where would this bet lead? Everyone was extremely curious.

Nangong Liuyun glanced indifferently at Nangong Liujue: "What if you lose?"

The Crown Prince choked, but then his expression became smug again.

The crystal purple fish was in his hands, so how could he possibly lose? If he didn't demand a king's ransom this time, he would feel he was wasting a godsend and letting down the opportunity the Heavens had given him.

The Crown Prince immediately gave several arrogant cold snorts: "If I lose, I will compensate you with one thousand five hundred green crystal stones!"

In other words, the stakes for the two of them were one thousand five hundred green crystal stones. [6][9][s][h][u][x][.][c][o][m]

Nangong Liuyun, who usually had no interest in betting, changed his usual behavior this time, raising an eyebrow with a smile: "Fine."

"Nangong!" Lan Xuan called out in surprise.

Although Nangong's judgment was unique, this time… could the crystal purple fish in Nangong Liujue's hand really be fake?

Bei Chenying giggled and nudged Lan Xuan's arm, "Have you ever seen Nangong lose?"

Since Nangong dared to take the bet, it meant he already had a winning plan in mind.

This fellow was simply the type who wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the rabbit; he would never let himself suffer a loss.

Lan Xuan thought about it and realized it was indeed the case. Thus, he and Bei Chenying stared at the Crown Prince with a grin, making the Crown Prince feel uneasy.

The Crown Prince was a bit apprehensive at first. After all, that was one thousand five hundred green crystal stones. Besides, he already owed Su Luo one thousand five hundred green crystal stones from before; if he lost this, he would have to produce three thousand green crystal stones, which he couldn't afford even if he were killed.

However, when the Crown Prince saw Bei Chenying and Lan Xuan winking at him, he immediately felt at ease. Humph, he didn't expect Nangong to use such a low-class method to try and trick him into backing out of the bet; how childish!

The Crown Prince quickly wrote out a letter of guarantee similar to the one he gave Su Luo earlier.

After everyone signed their names, it was made in triplicate.

One copy for the Crown Prince, one for Nangong Liuyun, and one remained in Bei Chenying's hands.

"Now, how can we prove that the crystal purple fish in His Highness the Crown Prince's hand is real?" Bei Chenying stroked his chin pretentiously. "There's a very simple way. A real crystal purple fish spits out crystal stones three times a day—morning, noon, and night, without fail. So, do we wait now?"

Nangong Liuyun glanced indifferently at the Crown Prince: "Why seek far for what is near?"

Bei Chenying immediately followed up with great rapport, "The crystal purple fish has countless ties to this Purple Fish Palace. It's said that with the crystal purple fish, one can have a sensory connection and choose one of the nine paths ahead, and this path leads directly to the Secret Manual Hall."
