C19 Private Stone Gambling Shop
The young man's words made the fat man's face change. He clenched his fists in anger and chose to compromise.
"Hmph! Best not let me touch you again!"
The fat man fiercely threw a sentence at Qin Chao, waved his hand, and left the jade street with his subordinates.
The entire street became exceptionally quiet. Qin Chao could not help being surprised when he saw the young man walking towards him. This young man actually had a medium quality spiritual root!
In this world, Qin Chao had never seen a spiritual root that could reach this level.
Adding on the fact that this person had stood up for him just now, this undoubtedly made Qin Chao have a good impression of him.
"Thank you for what you did just now." Qin Chao smiled amicably.
Since others had helped him, he naturally had to thank them sincerely. This was the basic etiquette of a person.
"Hello, my name is Tan Feng. Nice to meet you."
Tan Feng extended his right hand and took the initiative to express his good will.
Qin Chao also reached out his right hand and held Tan Feng's hand. "Hello, my name is Qin Chao. I am also very happy to meet you."
"It must be fate that we met today. I want to be friends with you. What about you?"
Tan Feng was generous and friendly, which made Qin Chao feel comfortable. This feeling was similar to what Shen Ruolan gave him. They were both smart, gentle, and relaxed.
"Of course you can!" Qin Chao nodded without hesitation.
"I have never seen you here before. I think Brother Qin is here to gamble."
Tan Feng also saw that Qin Chao was not a difficult person to get along with, so he immediately changed his words and called him brother.
Qin Chao nodded. "It is my first time here today."
"That Brother Qin's luck is really good!"
"He got an ice jade the first time he came here. Not everyone can have this kind of luck!"
Tan Feng did not hide his admiration and envy at all. His expression was very sincere. Indeed, there was only envy and no jealousy.
Qin Chao did not agree. "It would be fine if I only wanted one stone, but unfortunately, I need a lot of these stones."
Thinking about the sparse spiritual energy, Qin Chao felt a headache coming on.
Tan Fengyi patted Qin Chao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about that. Follow me and I guarantee that the chances of you getting good stones will be much higher than ordinary people."
Qin Chao's eyes lit up and quietly waited for Tan Feng to continue.
It seemed like this friend was right. Qin Chao was secretly delighted.
"Let's go. I'll bring you to a good place."
As he spoke, Tan Feng pulled Qin Chao along and quickly walked forward. After several twists and turns, they finally stopped at one place. In this place, no one could be seen anymore.
Qin Chao looked around and found that there was a vague spiritual energy floating in the air. This made his heart move again.
The fact that spirit energy could move in the air meant that there must be a spirit vein with a high concentration in this place!
He was now very interested in where Tan Feng would take him.
"Let's go, this is the place!"
Tan Feng led Qin Chao through an alley and stopped at the door of a shabby courtyard house.
This was the only courtyard house in the entire Jade Street. The door was locked all day long. No one could enter normally.
Qin Chao saw Tan Feng take the key out of his pants pocket and open the door. The two of them walked in. The scene inside was unsurprisingly simple and dilapidated. The night was dim, and the yellow lamps in the yard were not very bright.
Tan Feng saw Qin Chao looking around, afraid that he would misunderstand that he was playing with him. He quickly explained. "The outside is just a facade. Follow me in. There must be something you want inside!"
Qin Chao nodded. There was no doubt on his face.
Only then did Tan Feng feel relieved.
The two of them walked into the room side by side. They still did not see anyone. It was only when Tan Feng stirred a teacup that a secret door appeared.
"This..." Qin Chao murmured.
Tan Feng took a step forward and walked in first to prove his safety.
"Don't worry, we will be there once we pass through this secret passage."
"Alright." Qin Chao followed closely behind.
It was not because he was afraid, but because the secret tunnel gave him a sense of familiarity.
It came from the feeling of familiarity with the past.
The secret passage was not very long. About ten minutes later, light appeared in front of Qin Chao and Tan Feng's eyes. Along with the light appeared human voices that gradually became clearer.
"This is..." Qin Chao became more and more interested in this place.
"This is a private gambling den. It's impossible to enter without connections."
Tan Feng walked in front and pointed to the innermost room.
"That's the owner's room. I'll take you there later. You can go in and see him."
"There's nothing wrong with not being able to enter this place, but even if someone brought you in, you must get permission from that senior to get the key and be able to come in and out freely."
Qin Chao nodded and prepared to walk inside.
Tan Feng suddenly grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, "This senior doesn't like what others think of him, especially his jade carving."
"As long as you remain calm and do not panic, you will definitely pass his test!"
Qin Chao turned his head slightly and showed a faint smile to Tan Feng. "Thank you. Don't worry, I know what to do."
After thanking him, Qin Chao walked straight to the inner area.
Tan Feng looked at Qin Chao's calm and indifferent back and suddenly felt that his warning just now was a little unnecessary.
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts, Tan Feng walked to a table full of stones.
"Yo! Isn't this Young Master Tan?!"
"That's right! How did Young Master Tan have the time to come to this place today?!"
A young man who had just finished his stone gambling saw Tan Feng standing beside him and instantly felt strange.
"Fann Yu, do you plan to stay here every day and not return home?"
"Isn't this my home? Stone gambling is my life. Hehe." Fann Yu smiled and supported Tan Feng's arm. "Don't talk about me. What are you doing here all of a sudden?"
"The old man is going to celebrate his 70th birthday. He doesn't know what to give him, so he came here to look at the jade. He wants to carve something for him."
Tan Feng glanced at Fann Yu and continued, "A family like ours... There's no point in giving expensive gifts. That's why I thought it would be better to make one with my own hands. "
Fann Yu weighed the stone in his hand and nodded in agreement. "That's right. If your grandfather knew that the gift you gave him was carved by you, he would be very happy."
"No wonder your family's elder dotes on you so much. You are indeed filial!"
Tan Feng's filial reputation was widely spread among the big families. Logically speaking, it was hard to imagine the cruelty of internal strife among the big families, let alone kindness and filial piety. Everyone was thinking about how to sit in the first chair of the family.
Of course, it was an exception for Fann Yu who only wanted to eat, drink, and have fun all day long. However, was he really only thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun?
Fann Yu lowered his eyes slightly, and a deep look flashed across his eyes.
Tan Feng could not see the change in Fann Yu's eyes. He mistakenly thought that Fann Yu was thinking about his own matters, so he walked to the table alone and watched the person in charge place the next batch of stones on the table, waiting for the buyer's decision.
Although it was a batch, there were actually only three stones.
Tan Feng looked at the three stones that looked extremely similar, and for a moment, he was in a dilemma.
Although he knew a lot about gambling on stones, this kind of thing depended on luck in the end.
Every stone here was extremely expensive. If he took a wrong step, he would definitely lose a lot.
After careful consideration, Tan Feng did not choose any of the stones, but Fann Yu snatched the third stone with quick eyes.
"I want this stone!"
