Chapter 397: Interception
Someone on the side said to Chi Shuyan, “This lady is too lucky. Four of the eight stones she cut are winners. Three are good ice jade, and one is high-grade emerald, which sold for 20 million! Her luck is too good!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Chengfu, Yu Jinzhou, and Lu Yunfeng sighed with envy at that woman’s luck.
Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it, but Xiao Le didn’t have a good impression of the woman at that moment. He suddenly remembered something, and complained to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, that woman suddenly insisted on buying the scrap the little guy is holding for no reason. The price was high enough, but the little guy refused to sell it.”
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes. “How high was it?”
Xiao Le indicated it was 50,000.
The pile of raw stones that this little guy had just bought amounted to less than 5,000 yuan. Xiao Le felt that selling this stone for 50,000 yuan was pretty high. Actually, he regretted not persuading the little guy to sell it just now, but he especially disliked that woman’s attitude.
Chi Shuyan originally didn’t take the scrap in the little guy’s arms seriously, but when she heard Xiao Le’s words, she narrowed her eyes and subconsciously raised her hand to feel the stone in the little guy’s arms. It quickly gave off a violent and powerful fluctuation. Chi Shuyan was taken aback. This fluctuation was no inferior to the one from the black stone which Yang Zhaoning had thrown at her just now.
At that moment, Lu Chengfu also said, “Sister-in-law, I ran into this woman when I was choosing raw stones just now. She intercepted several of the ones I picked!”
Chi Shuyan hadn’t thought much of it, but when she heard Xiao Le and Lu Chengfu’s words one after another, her face turned very unsightly. She finally understood how the woman in front of her had picked four winners out of eight.
As a Celestial Master, she could tell when the wealth of an ordinary person suddenly exploded. That woman surnamed Yang relied on this to cheat and intercept other people’s wealth to make a fortune herself. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan looked at the woman surnamed Yang again.
At that moment, Yang Zhaoning’s sharp gaze was also on Chi Shuyan and the others. A smug smile appeared on her face, but her pupils contracted when her gaze fell on the stones which Lu Chengfu and the little guy were holding.
Chi Shuyan quickly flicked a Concealment Talisman on everyone. This talisman was different from ordinary talismans which concealed yin energy; instead, it concealed one’s wealth and fortune. No one would be able to tell at all when you were about to make a quick fortune. Only Celestial Masters stronger than she was would be able to see through the Concealment Talisman.
Xiao Le panicked a little when the woman not far away stared at the scrap in the little guy’s arms. He subconsciously said to Chi Shuyan, “Sister-in-law, why is that woman looking at the little guy with such a scary expression?”
Chi Shuyan glanced at the pale-faced Li Yu and the attendant, then blocked them from view.
Soon, Qi Hao got someone to carry over the ten raw stones he had chosen, all of which were especially big. Chi Shuyan originally wanted to give him a Concealment Talisman, but when she looked at the kid’s forehead, which was leaking wealth… Well, there was nothing to hide.
This kid didn’t just leak wealth, he gave it away.
Qi Hao was the most excited when it was their turn to cut the stones. He said he would get his stones cut first, and confidently told Lu Yunfeng and the others to wait for the green jade to appear!
“Idiot!” Yang Zhaoning couldn’t stand the noise from this group of people in front of her. She had seen at a glance that this fool leaked wealth. These ten raw stones were probably all duds, but this kid just looked so smug. Did he really think he had picked treasure? If he wasn’t an idiot, what was he?
