Chapter 505: Only possibility (2/2)

”Five in a night!”

”My god, how is that possible? I managed to see five in one night?!”

The crowd was extremely excited when the fourth platform lit up. However, when Yueqing landed on the white platform, everyone was in shock.

This...

This was an unexpected surprise.

This surprise quickly changed into unbridled joy. Yueqing had begun playing and the music blended in perfectly with the rhythm of the drums.

Even people who didn't know how to appreciate music were mesmerized by this.

The crowd closed their eyes and savored every moment. Even Ping Yang was completely mesmerized by the music. Her dress and sleeves danced along to the rhythm of the music.

Yan Xiu's eyes were closed as he savored each moment.

As for Wen Dabao, he had already begun to tremble. If not for the fact that he was afraid of disrupting the music, he would have been rolling on the floor to release the energy inside him.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ninth Prince Lin Yun.

Right now, Lin Yun's expression was much calmer than before. He was squinting slightly. For someone who had been taught to appreciate music from a young age, no issue could bother him enough to make him ignore such an exquisite performance.

Fang Zhengzhi looked around him, surveying every member of the crowd.

Then, he looked away.

Everyone was completely intoxicated by the music. This was an intoxication that simply couldn't be faked.

The music was just too good.

However...

Everyone's eyes shot open when a bell tone cut through the air. This didn't belong to any of the two instruments.

It was the Bianzhong!

This was an important instrument in the royal ensemble!

It was a huge instrument with many different bells of various sizes. No one could carry it by themselves, so it had been placed on the stage prior to the performance.

Those who had come here before knew that there were two different bianzhongs on that platform.

”Six... six headliners!”

”The sixth star!”

”Six of them?!”

The crowd looked at the platform and the beautiful body playing them in shock and awe.

Having six stars perform in one night had happened before. However, it had only happened three times a year.

Three times! Only three times a year!

What were the chances?!

The crowd was shocked that they had the great fortune of seeing six stars perform in the night. Also, they were stunned because...

They would lose all of their bets!

The crowd had placed their bets in many places, but no one had bet on six stars appearing. The chances of that were too low.

”This was something that no one could predict.”

”Yes, that's true. To be honest, even if we didn't win our bets, being able to enjoy the music of six stars is a great consolation.”

”I think everyone lost today?”

”No, there is one more possibility, that is...”

The crowd shook their heads and sighed. Then they thought of one other possibility. No one bet on six stars appearing, but there were three people who bet on an even more unlikely outcome...

All seven!

But will all seven really appear?

If they did, it would be utterly unbelievable! This only happened once in the entire history of the Seven Star Lane.

Were they really that accurate?

No one believed that this would happen, but they didn't have a good feeling about this.

If Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang hadn't bet on it, then no one would have even thought that it was possible.

However...

Since the three of them had bet on it, everyone began to think of the seventh when the sixth one appeared.

”Can this guy's luck get any better?”

”It's impossible!”

”If he manages to win this bet, I will strip naked right here!”

”The chances of that happening are much too slim!”

The crowd looked at the lady playing the bianzhong, then turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and Ping Yang.

”Hey, shameless fella, do you really think that all seven will appear tonight?” Ping Yang's eyes glimmered as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

”What do you think?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

”I think that six is about as many as we will see tonight. I think that something is wrong if all seven appear.” Ping Yang smirked.

”Why so?” Fang Zhengzhi smirked as well.

”Haha... just think about it. Our combined bets for all seven stars is 130,000 silvers. If we strike, that's 1,300,000 silvers! The boss of the Seven Stars Lane must know this. I doubt he will be that generous.” Ping Yang replied confidently.

”Mm, you are right. Aiya, why did I forget about that? I told you not to bet with me! Maybe tonight was really the night for seven stars!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and glared at Ping Yang.

”You're blaming me? I have 50,000 silvers on that bet!” Ping Yang rolled her eyes.

”I didn't think of that either...” Yan Xiu's expression was icy, but it sounded as though he blamed himself.

The crowd was initially stunned when they heard the conversation. Then, they chuckled.

”Hahaha... all seven? How is that possible?”

”Exactly, the boss of the Seven Stars Lane is no dummy! He will never let them win this bet! That's 1.3 million silvers!”

”I guess everyone is set to lose tonight. However, being able to see six stars in one night is good enough for me!”

Everyone smiled as they looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Even though they lost, they took comfort that Fang Zhengzhi had lost with them.
