Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Gao Ning's Despair

Approaching the large pile of gambling stones, Ye Ling touched his chin as if he were carefully examining them.

In fact, nobody knew that Ye Ling didn't need to look at all; he could sense the quality from the density of the Spiritual Energy.

He was merely pretending for now.

In contrast, Gao Ning's previously calm demeanor had completely vanished, and sweat had started to form on his forehead as he searched meticulously.

However, after a full half an hour had passed, Gao Ning hadn't made a selection.

Ye Ling let out a cold snort, guessing Gao Ning's thoughts, and headed towards a particular raw stone.

"I'll take this one!"

Just at that moment, Gao Ning suddenly ran over, yelling before he even got close.

Ye Ling's palm was about to touch the raw stone, and he looked like he was about to speak.

"Mr. Gao, that's not very honest of you, is it? Clearly, I was about to choose this one first," Ye Ling said, frowning.

Gao Ning spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Who knows you were going to choose this one? Did you speak up? Whoever speaks first gets it; this raw stone, I'm taking it!"

"You're really taking it?" Ye Ling asked again.

"Nonsense!"

Gao Ning pointed to Han Lin and said, "Push that raw stone over to me."

"Despicable."

Han Lin cursed inwardly, but he still went over to do it.

The onlookers had begun to realize that Gao Ning knew Ye Ling was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, which was why he hadn't chosen for half an hour.

And just when Ye Ling was about to choose, he came over to snatch it.

Such a tactic was truly shameless to the extreme.

Wang Ningmei furrowed her brows, thinking to herself that Gao Ning seemed like he couldn't afford to lose.

"Fine, since you've chosen this one, I will pick another," Ye Ling said, nodding.

Ye Ling moved towards another raw stone in the middle and said, "Brother Han, could you push this one over for me?"

"Big brother, this guy really has no shame," Han Lin said quietly.

"It's okay," Ye Ling replied with a smile.

Gao Ning was somewhat confused.

Could it be that Ye Ling was really choosing at random? If that was the case, there was no point in stealing this one!

"Mr. Gao, one must act with integrity. I'll give you a chance, if you don't want to choose this one, you can change it for another, what do you say?" Ye Ling said.

Gao Ning felt conflicted and was somewhat baffled by Ye Ling.

But soon, Gao Ning made up his mind.

In his view, surely Ye Ling felt there was something good inside this stone, which was why he was suggesting a swap. Your journey continues on m v|l--NovelFire

"No need to change!"

"You're sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"All right then."

Ye Ling nodded and said, "So shall we… start cutting?"

In truth, Ye Ling knew very well which stones were good and which were not.

It wouldn't make a difference if Gao Ning swapped it for another one, even ten more would be futile.

The best one was already with Ye Ling.

"Let's cut."

Gao Ning looked at the cutter and said, "Be careful, don't ruin it."

The cutter was also feeling a bit nervous. After all, with one slice, that would be 500 million!

"Where should we cut?"

"Right here."

Gao Ning thought for a moment and then drew a line on the left side.

The master gritted his teeth and made a cut.

"Wow!"

Just one cut and a large swath of light shone through the stone.

"It's increased!"

"Damn, such a big piece, and it's increased with just one cut, Gao the fatty is going to strike it rich!"

"Seems like this kid really does have a trick or two, he was about to pick this very piece, but was snatched away by Gao the fatty."

The crowd was filled with envy, such a large piece of raw stone, and it revealed green with just one cut, it definitely would weigh over 5 catties if not more.

Wang Ningmei walked over to Ye Ling and whispered, "Are you confident? This guy seems to be determined to fight you to the death today."

"No problem, if he wants to play, I'll play with him," Ye Ling said with a smile.

Looking at Ye Ling's nonchalant face, Wang Ningmei was somewhat puzzled.

Where does this kid get his confidence?

"Boss Gao, are you going to cut again?" the master asked.

Gao Ning's face was flushed with excitement, his body trembling slightly. He waved his hand grandly, "No more cuts, wipe it for me!"

Hearing that, the master couldn't help but feel contempt.

Such a large stone, how long would it take to wipe it clean?

"It seems that Gao the fatty is scared of losing, he doesn't dare to cut anymore!" everyone thought to themselves.

"Uncle Li, can you call a few more people over to help wipe? It's such a good piece, it would be such a pity to cut it wrong," Wang Ningmei spoke up.

Gao Ning immediately shot her a look, thinking to himself that this woman was still on his side, and if he could win back those 500 million, he must find a way to get her into bed.

The master immediately called for several people, and after wiping for a full two hours, which took them to lunchtime, they finally finished.

As expected, the piece of jade, though not Mountain Sea Green or Emperor Green, was as large as an adult's head, and when weighed, it turned out to be over 6 catties.

Moreover, looking at the quality, it wasn't far off from Mountain Sea Green in value, worth at least one hundred million.

Gao Ning took a long sigh of relief and finally eased his mind, sneering at Ye Ling, "Kid, you're definitely losing those 500 million today!"

"Is that so?"

Ye Ling looked at Gao Ning, "Boss Gao, I'll give you another chance, if you agree now, we can call off the bet, how about that?"

"You must be scared of losing, right?"

Gao Ning snorted coldly, "Seeing that I've cut such a big piece of jade, you don't dare to bet anymore? When you were asking me for money just now, where was this attitude? Hurry up, no damn dawdling!"

Ye Ling was helpless, he had given him a way out, but why didn't he appreciate it?

"Alright then."

Ye Ling turned to the master and said, "Master, please make the cut."

The master had really seen something today; usually, it took several batches of raw stones to produce one fine jade.

But today, there was both a spherical bead and a 6-catty piece, which was surprisingly unusual.

After the cut, the raw stone emitted a burst of light.

However, the light was not green, but red.

"Red?"

"Can it be chicken-blood jade?"

"I'm screwed, how can this kid pick right every single time?"

The people around all changed color dramatically. Red jade with such a vivid color, it should start at at least 100 million!

When Gao Ning saw the red color, his head buzzed and he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Under these circumstances, there was no need to cut any further; as long as the chicken-blood jade was slightly larger, it would be worth more than his own piece.

At that moment, Gao Ning implored the Bodhisattva and the Buddha that Ye Ling's chicken-blood jade had to be small, it simply must be small.

But in the next instant, Gao Ning's complexion went deathly pale, a surge of despair flooding his heart.

Because Ye Ling had instructed the master to make another cut, and with that cut, another burst of light flashed forth.

Most crucially, this time the color was not the previous red, but… green!
