C40 The Jade Pendant
Although the Appraisal Stone was not as particular as TCM, it had its own way of doing things. It was generally divided into three steps.
The first step was to look at the skin. Observing the surface of the Raw Ore and analyzing which hole it came from based on the skin. The new pit was still the old pit, and the surface stone was still the deep stone.
The second step was to take a look at the skin. He used the flashlight to send a strong light through the fine seams of the stone to observe the patterns on its surface. He wanted to see if there was any reflection or light.
The third step was to tap the skin. He used his finger to lightly knock on the Raw Ore's main body. An advanced appraiser could determine whether there was jade inside through the sound transmitted from the ___.
The Cloud Soaring Group was in charge of jade stones. Shen Xin was the eldest young master of the company, and also a frequent customer of the Gambling Stone. These three steps were not difficult for him, but he was not a professional after all. He played around for a while and did not choose the best one.
Faang Yang, who was watching from the side, kept shaking his head. He thought to himself, This is disappointing. However, even so, it was enough to beat Zhou Tianhe.
Because among these ten Raw Ores, only one piece was completely empty. And Zhou Tianhe, this unlucky child whose luck had been changed by Faang Yang, happened to get that one piece.
"Brother, can we win?" Shen Xin was a little nervous. Including this round, it was already the third round. He had one draw and one loss. If this round was still a loss or a draw, then the next two rounds... He had to win all of them in order to win, or else he would lose.
Money was not important, what was important was face. Everyone in Longjiang Province knew that Cloud Soaring Group and Zhou family were sworn enemies. If Shen Xin lost, he wouldn't be able to raise his head for the rest of the days.
"About eighty to ninety percent." Faang Yang chuckled, giving Shen Xin a calming pill.
Only then did Shen Xin smile. His previous cautious attitude was swept away, and the Eldest Young Master's behavior returned to normal. "Hurry up and cut the stone. Zhou Tianhe, you're not afraid anymore, are you?"
"Will I be afraid of you? Today, my luck is overflowing. I can beat you with just a finger. This round is no exception. Hmph. " Zhou Tianhe didn't think it was a big deal. He let out a cold snort and ordered the Stone Cutting Master to attack.
Kacha!
Kacha!
With two soft sounds, the two Raw Ores were split open. One of them was emitting a green light, emitting greasy water. The other one was completely empty, except for the stone.
"Old Zhou, this is your luck bursting? This is your complete abuses of me? Did you forget to take your medicine when you went out today? " Shen Xin held back his laughter and pretended to be serious as he spoke.
"You!"
Zhou Tianhe was so angry that his shoulders trembled. He glared at Master Looh, who was standing beside him. This guy was really embarrassing himself.
Zhou Tianhe was the young master of Zhou Laifu. Although he usually did not do proper work, he was still a person who played with stones. Now, the stones he chose could not even see the slightest bit of green. It was clearly water.
He was the young master of the Zhou family, a noble family of jewelry, but he could not even tell if there was any green in the stone. It would be strange if he would not be laughed at by others if he told others.
Faang Yang watched from the side with a smile on his face. Your luck has been changed by me to extremely bad. It would be strange if you weren't unlucky. This was only a stone without a hollow heart. Otherwise, you would have lost even more people.
"Young master, calm down. Don't be impatient. There are two more rounds. I have already set up the Three Wealth Storm Formation here. Today, I guarantee that we will win." Looh Zhongda, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice without changing his expression.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the eyes on his nose bridge. He raised his head and glanced at Faang Yang.
"Could it be that this kid is up to something? I don't think so. My Triple Wealth Wind Cloud Formation is the center of the formation. First, there are flowing water Wealth Gathering Array surrounding the surroundings, and then there is a Wind Spirit Formation that gathers Qi. Lastly, there is the Hidden Dragon Entering the Sea Formation to gather wealth. The three formations merged into one, and alternating between each other was the third fortune. I don't have thirty years of cultivation in this formation, so I can't see through it at all. Even if he was talented, he still wouldn't be able to break the formation so quickly. It should be me worrying too much."
Looh Zhongda thought to himself and shook his head.
Looh Zhongda was Zhou Laifu's imperial Geomantic Omen Master, and he was very famous. He had been working for the Zhou family ever since he became famous. His ability and character were both trustworthy.
Therefore, Zhou Tianhe completely believed what Looh Zhongda said. He nodded his head and requested for the fourth bet.
According to the drawing of lots, it was Shen Xin's turn this time. He looked at the Raw Ore as usual, and then chose a Raw Ore the size of a tire.
Faang Yang did not say anything and only nodded his head. Then, he looked at Zhou Tianhe, who was walking forward, and the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of an evil smile.
"No, that's not right. What is this kid laughing about? Could it really be that he is the one who is causing this? " Looh Zhongda was shocked in his heart. For some reason, he felt uneasy. He wanted to stop Zhou Tianhe, but when he looked up... Faang Yang no longer had a smile on his face. He had a serious expression on his face.
"I almost forgot about my appearance. Luckily, I am able to control my emotions." Little did he know that Faang Yang had just put away his expression. If he was late, he would have been discovered by Looh Zhongda.
As for the raw stone that Zhou Tianhe chose, although it was not empty, it was still a thumb-sized jade.
Looking at Shen Xin's choice again, one-third of it was jade. He was definitely going to win the fourth round.
"Sorry, I won again. Old Zhou, this is the last round. Your luck today is not good. " After a while, Shen Xin's sarcastic words sounded again.
There was no reason for his psychological tactics. He was simply oppressing his opponent.
Shen Xin crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a good show. He looked at Looh Zhongda and said, "Master Looh, I asked someone to visit you a few days ago. You are not going to see me. I think you are regretting your decision today. It doesn't matter. My Shen family is magnanimous. If you are chased out by the Zhou family tomorrow, remember to report to me. When the time comes, you'll be my brother's assistant, and your salary won't be any less than yours. "
"Director Xin, first of all, I am not gay. Even if I bend, you should at least find me a more handsome one. Secondly, it's already the New Era, and talent is the most important. At such an age, the Geomantic Omen Master can't keep up with the trend. What do I want it for? Dragging you down? When the time comes, I still have to take care of him. I don't want it."
Faang Yang was serious. After he finished speaking, he took a step back and sized Looh Zhongda up. Clearly, he was disgusted by Looh Zhongda.
The two of them sang the same tune and even joked about the Stone Cutting Master. The few of them could not hold back their laughter. Zhou Tianhe and Looh Zhongda's faces turned red from embarrassment.
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about!? I have never seen anyone from the Shen family." Looh Zhongda said with resentment.
Shen Xin said with a look of disdain, "Did I feed that cheque with five million yuan to a dog? Shameless old thing, you took my money and didn't do anything for me."
It turned out that after the bet, Shen Xin had guessed that Zhou Tianhe was going to look for Looh Zhongda. That was why he had prepared the money in advance to make arrangements, and Looh Zhongda had indeed received the money.
Unexpectedly, this greedy old thing had accepted the invitation from the Zhou family to participate in the Gambling Stone, which made Shen Xin very angry.
"That's not right, Director Xin. Master Looh did not take five million for free. Didn't you see that he helped you today? Otherwise, with his ability, how could Young Master Zhou lose?" Faang Yang's eyes turned, and he didn't hesitate to add insult to injury.
Who asked you to look down on me so much? I can't help it, I am just so petty. Hmph.
Looh Zhongda wanted to explain to Zhou Tianhe, but he was interrupted by Faang Yang many times. He was so angry that his shoulders trembled.
"I have worked in the Zhou family for so many years, how could I commit treason? I will explain to Young Master Zhou about the five million. But you brat, do you dare to bet with me once? " Looh Zhongda said with a stern voice. This old man was full of energy, and his eyes shone brightly. He was going straight for Faang Yang.
These few words of his had put him out of danger. Zhou Tianhe, who was about to explode, shut his mouth and didn't say anything.
"I won't bet. If I win against you, I won't have any glory on my face. Everyone will say that I bullied Old Man." Faang Yang shook his head.
Looh Zhongda had lived for so many years, but he had never been humiliated like this. "I, Looh Zhongda, took the initiative to bet with you. If you win, no one will say that you bullied me."
As the saying went, the more powerful a person was, the more they cared about their face. Looh Zhongda was like this. He cared about Zhou Tianhe's face and himself more.
If word of this got out, he would be humiliated by an unknown junior today. How would he be able to survive in the Wind and Water Realm in the future?
"I said I won't bet, so I won't bet. Unless you make a bet with the jade pendant on your waist." Faang Yang said.
This bastard is interested in my jade pendant. Hmph, do you really think that I, Looh Zhongda, have lived all these years as a dog? I will fall into your trap.
"The jade pendant won't do." Looh Zhongda shook his head.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? It's fine if you don't want to bet. Anyway, I don't want to bully Old Man." Faang Yang shrugged his shoulders, as if it would be better if he didn't want to bet.
