"The Patriarch's words are reasonable. This subordinate has become narrow-minded." The aide thought about what Hua Ruge had done and wisely chose to shut his mouth.

So what if your talent isn't high? So what if your talent isn't high?

And so, with the help of the Patriarch Tian, the name of the Hua Clan's Hua Ruge appeared within the clan participating in the stone gambling competition which was posted at the city gate two days later.

Of course, this became a hot topic of discussion as expected. After all, the other families had something to talk about, but Hua Ruge was different.

When Hua Ruge heard the news that the servant had come, he was truly excited for a while.

Especially Shui Yuyan, she felt that this was simply an opportunity given by the heavens. He wanted her to once again stand on the same stage as Hua Ruge, in order to prove her strength.

The Shui family also felt that they finally had a chance to win back those family possessions. After this, they must make Hua Ruge become powerless, and it would be much easier to stomp on him.

Of course, there were a few who supported Hua Ruge, and felt that Hua Ruge was not just trying his luck but actually had the ability, but was quickly suppressed by the ugly voices.

How could a child born into an illegitimate child compare to the ability that these aristocratic families instilled?

The stone gambling assembly slowly approached due to all kinds of discussions. The place chosen was still the stage in the middle of Falling Moon City, and there were more than a dozen families participating in it.

The Tian Family s were in the process of being prepared in secret, and every clan was rubbing their fists, with only Hua Ruge doing nothing at home every day.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, but that everyone was talking about her right now. If she went out, there would definitely be quite a few people around her asking questions, so it was better for her to hide in seclusion.

Because Tuoba Rui was still in closed door cultivation, when Hua Ruge was bored, he could only talk to his mother.

When the rock gambling finally started, Hua Ruge woke up early in excitement and changed into a green cheongsam. Ever since the Challenge Tournament, she had changed into her female attire, not because her identity was revealed, but because Tuoba Rui had arrived. Wearing men's clothes felt weird for her.

Tuoba Rui also came out from seclusion on that day, he was still dressed in black, with a cold expression on his face and a cold aura, as though he would perspire any time he looked at Tuoba Rui.

However, in front of Hua Ruge, Tuoba Rui rarely had a straight face. Most of the time, he always wore a smile on his face, and today was no exception.

"You came out on time. How are your injuries?" Hua Ruge walked up and asked.

"Better, I can help you." Tuoba Rui said in a relaxed manner.

"I still hope that you won't make a move." Hua Ruge could not help but exclaim: "As long as the people onstage do not threaten me, we will be provoked, alright?"

She felt that this man's temper was much worse than hers.

"I'll listen to you." Tuoba Rui answered honestly, he was afraid that Hua Ruge would not bring him along.

Hua Ruge nodded, and took the initiative to pull his hand: "Let's go."

Tuoba Rui smiled and nodded faintly.

The two of them bade farewell to Shui Yunning, got on the carriage, and headed towards the center of the stage.

By the time they arrived, many families were already seated, they had placed a feast on one side of the stage, with Patriarch Tian seated at the head, and the various participant clans seated on the other side.

After Hua Ruge revealed his identity, naturally someone brought her to her seat. What made her curious was that she did not sit at the back, but sat in the middle. It seemed that the Shui family had quite a good evaluation of her.

"Greetings Patriarch Tian." Hua Ruge politely greeted before sitting down.

"It's the head of the Hua family. Please take a seat." The Patriarch Tian said with a smile.

Hua Ruge agreed and then brought Tuoba Rui to sit, while everyone started to dance as they stared at the two, as though they were looking at a magnet that was attracting their gazes, causing them to be unable to shift their eyes away.

Previously, these people had heard some rumors. However, when they heard that the two of them had praised each other like flowers, they felt that it wasn't realistic. However, after meeting each other today, they understood that the rumors weren't enough to describe their appearance and appearance.

Especially Shui Yuyan who was sitting in the seat of honor and Shui Yutong who was beside her, they would look at Tuoba Rui from time to time.1

"That Young Master Rui is really good-looking." Shui Yutong said after taking another peek.

"Of course." With much difficulty, Shui Yuyan retracted his gaze. His heart was so sore that it felt like he had overturned ten jars of vinegar.

"It's just too cold. Do you think he'll laugh?" Shui Yutong discussed.

Shui Yuyan shook his head without even thinking: "I've never seen him before, he's always been like this."

"What a restrained, beautiful man." Shui Yutong supported her chin, her eyes were filled with envy, she had thought that Tian Chen was already a dragon and phoenix amongst men, but she never expected that there would actually be such a immortal man in the world.

At the other tables, as long as there were female servants talking about this, the men would not like to talk about it so much. However, they would definitely admire Hua Ruge.

After Hua Ruge sat down, he started to survey the surroundings. Seeing that there were still a few families that had not come, he started to eat the tea on the table.

"Eat less." Tuoba Rui said.

Hua Ruge looked at him snappily. "You think I'm losing face?"

"Yes, there's going to be a hot meal soon. You should save some for your stomach." Tuoba Rui said.

Hua Ruge felt that there was nothing wrong with his words, it was just that it was a little inconceivable for such a person to actually say it out loud.

Was this man not a beauty?

"It's still alright to eat less. I'll get hungry if I don't eat in the morning." Tuoba Rui said as he took a relatively hot piece of cake and wanted to give it to her.

Only, Hua Ruge realized that this place was not his own home, and decided not to use his mouth to pick it up, but to bring the pastries over for himself to eat.

Tuoba Rui did not say anything, he only gave a short smile.

On the other side, Shui Yutong said to Shui Yuyan: "Elder sister, I saw him smiling, and actually smiled."

"What?" Hearing that, Shui Yuyan looked up to see Tuoba Rui sitting there with an indifferent expression. Occasionally, he would look at Hua Ruge with a gentle gaze, but he did not smile.

"You must be mistaken." She blamed her sister for making her feel worse.

"No, I remember him smiling." Shui Yutong said in confusion.

Just as everyone was chatting, all the patriarchs had arrived. Thus, under the instructions of Tian Family, the feast began. One by one, the carefully prepared dishes were served up.

These people all knew that this was the final calm before the battle. While they ate and drank, they also paid attention to the people around them and guessed their goal for this year.

Only Hua Ruge kept eating in a low voice, while Tuoba Rui did the same, but he did not eat alone.

Shui Yuyan's eyes were staring at Tuoba Rui's chopsticks, he wanted to know what the male god liked to eat, but seeing the dishes enter Hua Ruge's bowl, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
