Chapter 534: You Miscounted!

After Ma Baoshan said so, the gamblers outside laughed maliciously.
Even Li Xiaoran laughed.
Ma Baoshan was clearly playing dirty.
This was like gambling. It was just that Ma Baoshan took the opportunity to snub Li Xiaoran.
“Since we’ve both said our guesses, please count them!” Hu Xi looked at Li Xiaoran and then at Ma Baoshan. “Are you two sure? Are you sure these are your guesses?”
Ma Baoshan didn’t speak and just stared at Li Xiaoran.
Ma Baoshan had already made up his mind. If the person in front of him changed her guess, he would change it too.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran smiled and shook her head as she said, “I won’t change it!”
“Then I won’t change it!” Ma Baoshan said sarcastically.
Seeing this, Hu Xi immediately took off the lid, then took out a very thin long needle and began to fiddle with the plate.
“One, two, three, four, five, six…
At this moment, everyone was focused on the big white porcelain plate.
Everyone listened to Hu Xi’s voice as they counted inwardly.
Even Luo Cheng and the others were staring at this plate.
The only person who didn’t care was Li Xiaoran.
She didn’t seem nervous at all. She looked confident.
As Ma Baoshan watched Hu Xi count, he observed Li Xiaoran from the corner of his eye and guarded against her and the people around her.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran didn’t pay attention to this side from the beginning to the end, so she naturally didn’t do anything.
“73, 74, 75, 76, 77!”
Hu Xi stopped after counting to 77.
“77 ants! There are 77 ants here!” Hu Xi looked at the people around him in disbelief.
To be honest, this gamble was really thrilling!
Hu Xi had worked in the casino for so many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
He really didn’t expect the newcomer in front of him to be so lucky to be able to guess such an accurate number.
Unfortunately, the heavens weren’t on that kid’s side in the end.
Ma Baoshan was overjoyed and laughed out loud as he said, “Hahahaha, you’ve lost. Kid, give me your money!”
Luo Cheng frowned. He felt that something was wrong.
On the other hand, Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe were furious, since they felt that the other party had won unfairly.
“You’re playing dirty!” Shu Ruyue couldn’t bear it anymore.
“You didn’t object to the gambling method back then! You have to admit defeat after losing. Don’t be sore losers!” Ma Baoshan said proudly.
“Hmph, you’re the ones who can’t afford to lose! We were about to leave, but you group of people surrounded us and forced us to gamble!” Shu Ruyue was so angry that her face turned red.
“You’re such a bad sport! You can’t own up to your loss?! Let me tell you, this is a casino. It’s not a place for you to play dirty!” The surrounding gamblers clamored.
She had won too much money previously. Now that she had lost all her silver, the gamblers in the casino felt extremely gratified.
“Who said I lost? If I say there are 78, there are 78! Hu Xi, right?! Are you blind? There’s a white patch of ants beside the plate of soil!” At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s voice sounded.
As soon as she said this, the smug group of people froze.
Everyone looked at the white porcelain plate.
“What’s wrong? Can’t you guys see it? There’s a white ant on the left and right side of Hu Xi. Everyone, take a closer look. It’s in the direction of the dice placed beside that plate!” Li Xiaoran reminded again.
As expected, after Hu Xi fiddled with the needle in the direction Li Xiaoran had mentioned, a white ant was fiddled into the brown soil and immediately became conspicuous.
This time, everyone in the casino was in an uproar.
There were really 78 of them!
“Hahahahahaha!” This time, it was Shu Ruyue’s turn to laugh.
“Who said that I should be the one to admit defeat?! How is it? Does it hurt after getting slapped in the face today?!”
Wu Qinghe’s eyes widened when he saw this sudden turn of events.
“Oh my god, how mysterious! It’s even more mysterious than me using divination and fortune-telling!”
Li Xiaoran looked at Ma Baoshan, who was dumbstruck, then at Luo Cheng. “Brother, take this Sheep Jade! Let’s take our money and leave!” When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran call him brother, he smiled brightly.
“Sure!”
As Luo Cheng agreed, he took the Sheep Jade from Ma Baoshan’s hand and left with the money they had won today.
When Hu Xi saw this scene, his expression darkened and he secretly shot a look at someone standing in a corner.
The man nodded and immediately went out.
Ma Baoshan was stunned for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he saw Li Xiaoran’s departing figure from afar and shouted, “Hey, what do you want me to do?”
Li Xiaoran said, “When the time comes, someone will naturally bring the Sheep Jade to you!” With that, Li Xiaoran left.
After leaving the casino, a carriage rushed over.
The people who came were Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng.
Luo Cheng let Li Xiaoran and the others get into the carriage first while he stayed behind.
When everyone got in, Luo Cheng looked in several directions and sneered as he got into the carriage.
Soon, the carriage ran and left the casino with Luo Cheng and the others.
“Sigh, wealth is so tempting! It seems that I won the last gamble, but I actually lost! I gave those people a lot of time to set things up!” Li Xiaoran said in the carriage.
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he knew that she had already discovered something.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll definitely protect you! It’s fine if these people don’t attack, but if they really attack, they’ll be courting death!”
Li Xiaoran nodded without saying anything else. Instead, she was thinking about how to spend the money she had earned today.
When Shu Ruyue heard Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately became nervous and grabbed her sword tightly.
Wu Qinghe said when he saw that Shu Ruyue was very nervous, “Hey, don’t be nervous! Brother Luo Cheng has arranged everything! If anything happens, don’t hide outside. Just protect Xiaoran here!”
“Shut up! Just don’t run around when the time comes.. Otherwise, no one can save you!”
