Chapter 371: Mo Yang and Gang 10
Gongsun She did not think there would be a woman who had the gall to make such a shameless request despite not having done any cultivation. “I have to save your daughter regardless if you win or lose? That can’t do, you rascal.”
Qi Qingyao spoke through her slightly dry lips, “You have to help me regardless if I win or lose. The only difference is that if I lose, I’ll go with you. Is it not enough for me to help you cultivate and achieve enlightenment?”
“Good girl!~”
Gongsun She was very satisfied with this outcome and agreed to Qi Qingyao’s request.
Gu Shanshan was stunned by Qingyao’s actions. She was really going to start a bet with a grand master, not to mention with dice rolling. If she won, the prize would be her daughter’s rescue, but that was the same for a loss…losing just came with a small extra price.
Qi Qingyao got a bowl from inside the temple and led the old man directly under the porch.
The old man had been cultivating cautiously and conscientiously all his life and he was also considered a genius. He had also worked hard, however. With the addition of being blessed with a little luck, he managed to reach the rank of grand master.
He rarely played this game.
When he mentioned betting, he actually had something else in mind. He did not think this little lady would suggest dice rolling, but he could not refuse either.
He picked up the three dice and then looked at the bowl on the floor.
“So, I just roll the dice in the bowl, yes?”
“That’s right.” Qi Qingyao nodded.
Gongsun She sighed and said, “This old man dislikes things that rely on luck the most.”
Qi Qingyao said dismissively, “You want to reach enlightenment; that is also something related to luck. If you’re lucky you’ll reach enlightenment, if you’re not, you won’t get there no matter what you do.”
“That’s reasonable.” Gongsun She was instantly convinced, then he said a prayer in his heart and tossed the three white dice into the bowl. The dice rolled one round inside the bowl and when they stopped, Gongsun She counted the points. He was shocked. “I only got three, four, five, a total of twelve points.”
Gu Shanshan’s highly-strung heart had almost reached her throat but when she saw the old man’s points, it instantly went back down.
She felt that there was hope.
Qi Qingyao might just win the aid of a grand master without even having to pay any price.
There was hope!!
There really was hope!
Qi Qingyao just needed to rake in some good points.
Qi Qingyao picked up the dice. Smiling, she casually threw them toward the bowl.
She did not even bother with any technique.
Rolling dice like this was an event she quite disliked because it was not like dice-rolling with a cup. There was a certain technique to dice-rolling with a cup that allowed one to reach their desired points.
Simply throwing dice into the bowl, however…
It was purely based on fate.
When she threw the dice down, she prayed softly.
“Oh Si Jin, they all say you’re a young grand master, a genius! Sister loves you! You genius, you must bless your sister on this day!”
Her voice was quite soft but still, it was caught by the old man Gongsun She. He smiled a little. The old man thought, ‘If a genius grand master can guarantee you a good dice roll, then everyone should also worship him, even if they’re a grand master too.’
Who would still need to pray at koi temples!
However, Qi Qingyao’s dice fell, rotating a few rounds in the bowl before stopping.
Gu Shanshan looked at the bowl with wide eyes.
Qi Qingyao smiled very delightedly and said, “I got six, six, six…a flush, eighteen points.”
Gongsun She saw it and was stunned.
He was once again convinced that this little lady was someone predetermined by fate!
Forget being able to earn the grace of a young grand master, she could simply throw dice and get full points. She really was a legendary person.
“Your luck is really good,” Gongsun She said seriously. “I’m certain now that you’re someone chosen by fate, and you can surely help me reach enlightenment.”
