Wang Ye showed no intention of apologizing and even directly retorted.

Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Ji Shen's whole face stiffened a bit, and his expression turned somewhat ugly as he gazed at Wang Ye's feigned cheerful smile.

He didn't expect Wang Ye would hit him where it hurts.

But soon, Ji Shen adjusted his stance and dryly laughed as he replied to Wang Ye, "How could that be? I just arrived here as well, honestly, my thoughts are the same as yours, bro."

"The magicians losing money here are not good magicians, lacking skill."

Behind him.

A few people who had been following Wang Ye because of his words glanced at Ji Shen with some confusion.

They had seen Ji Shen inside just now.

Ji Shen lost a lot of money.

Most of the roaring they heard in the Divine Stone Workshop came from Ji Shen himself.

Yet he was a Second Rank Sorcerer.

The magicians exchanged glances, recognizing Ji Shen but choosing to say nothing, merely observing silently.

Originally, they came inside out of anger following Wang Ye, but the presence of Ji Shen seemed to make the situation more interesting.

"Is that so?"

Wang Ye naturally sensed the change in Ji Shen's expression, yet he didn't expose him and instead extended his hand towards Ji Shen, saying:

"I didn't expect our thoughts would be so coincidentally similar. Great minds do think alike."

"Great minds think alike."

Wang Ye and Ji Shen shook hands.

Ji Shen squinted his eyes.

If there was any pretense in his smile earlier, it had vanished during the handshake, making Ji Shen genuinely sincere.

Wang Ye agreeing to shake hands meant their relationship had reached a level where Ji Shen could freely deceive him.

"Since we share the same thoughts, let's be friends. You can call me Sea King, a Third Rank Sorcerer."

Third Rank Sorcerer?

Wang Ye slightly narrowed his eyes.

He realized what the fellow in front of him intended to do.

It seemed his previous words displeased the other, and now the other intended to win back the money he lost.

Behind Wang Ye.

The magicians exchanged glances.

Instantly understanding.

Their earlier dissatisfaction was replaced with schadenfreude as they looked at Wang Ye.

This guy is going to be conned.

Serves him right!

For insulting them just now, he immediately encountered someone wanting to swindle him hard as soon as he entered the Divine Stone Workshop.

Didn't he claim that magicians of his skill wouldn't be conned in the Divine Stone Workshop?

Alright then.

If that's what he thought, from the moment he entered, let him experience the treacherous intentions of people.

"Third Rank Sorcerer, Money Leopard."

Though Wang Ye looked at Ji Shen, who was a Second Rank Sorcerer, he seemed to view him like a treasure trove.

Want to con my money?

Then I'll just treat your money as if it's a gift.

Although Wang Ye chose to come to Nine Dragon Mountain to break through to Second Rank Sorcerer, he wasn't a Second Rank Sorcerer, but it didn't mean his magician skills weren't at the Second Rank level.

Just relatively speaking.

For instance, large-scale anomalies.

These anomalies, Wang Ye had only heard of in books, never seen in reality, reaching the Second Rank Sorcerer level required studying and unraveling anomalies.

So Wang Ye came to this area.

Through practice, Wang Ye understood that his knowledge was correct, reaching a certain level himself.

So, even though Wang Ye was a Third Rank Sorcerer and Ji Shen a Second Rank Sorcerer, Wang Ye truly felt no fear in competing with him.

Next, Ji Shen exchanged pleasantries with Wang Ye.

Eventually, he proposed a challenge to Wang Ye regarding their magician skills, based on the gambling stones in the Divine Stone Workshop.

Upon speaking, Ji Shen's gaze towards Wang Ye showed some anxiety.

Though he claimed to be a Third Rank Sorcerer, he didn't possess a Third Rank Sorcerer Jade Pendant.

Would Wang Ye believe him?

If Wang Ye asked him where his magician Jade Pendant was, how should he explain?

Lost it?

But the crucial point is, the Jade Pendant forms a mysterious connection with the host at the moment of acquisition, allowing one easily to locate it.

This excuse wouldn't work.

Ji Shen was anxious, and those few magicians watching were both excited and apprehensive.

They also worried what if Wang Ye encountered some pitfalls?

Would they miss the show then?

Wang Ye sensed their emotions.

He glanced at them.

The magicians hadn't lost all their money, maybe because they mingled together and offered each other advice, showing some sense.

But...

Since they wanted to watch the show, let them directly hand over all their money to him.

You can't watch for free, can you?

There's surely a price to be paid.

And Hui Hui, before Wang Ye spoke, already thought of something, turning to Ji Shen, "Uncle Sea, since you claim to be a Third Rank Sorcerer, why haven't I seen your Third Rank Sorcerer Jade Pendant?"

"My master is a Third Rank Sorcerer, so he has the Jade Pendant, but you don't."

As Hui Hui spoke, she lightly tugged at Wang Ye's sleeve.

Avoiding Wang Ye being fooled by this person in front.

As Hui Hui spoke.

Ji Shen instantly sighed.

The surrounding magicians' expressions turned somewhat disappointed.

Indeed.

Such an obvious issue, even a young girl of eleven or twelve could perceive, how could Wang Ye, a Third Rank Sorcerer, fail to notice this?

The plan faltered.

No show to watch.

Yet.

As soon as Hui Hui finished speaking, Wang Ye somewhat dissatisfiedly glanced at her and said, "Hui Hui, how can you be so rude?"

"Hmm?"

Wang Ye's words left Ji Shen and the few magicians planning to watch the show slightly stunned.

What's this supposed to mean?

Could it be...
