The Adventures Of The Young Master 178 Cutting Phase

"Is that what you chose?" Lang Zing laughed in disdain and said, "And here I thought, you are really something. Seems like you're just all talk, huh?"

The people around laughed hard in mockery and whispers could be heard everywhere. All eyes were set upon Jin Rou and he was already being mocked to the utmost degree. Zin s.h.i.+ was already worried as her face turned pale. It was as if she wanted to bury herself in a hole if there was one possible around. However, how could she leave Jin Rou? All she could do was trust Jin Rou and let things be.

"Just to remind you, ignorant fool. That stone was already examined by all master appraisers here, and they deemed it as worthless. How could you do a dumb mistake?" Lang Zing could not help but laugh hard in euphoria. This time, he could feel that the Heavens was helping him bring retribution to this ignorant and arrogant country b.u.mpkin.

However, Jin Rou finally broke his silence and said, "I don't need your advice. I chose this stone because this is the best tone in all of the sc.r.a.p stones out here."

"Hahahahahahaha!" Lang Zing, as long as everyone even Staff Li, laughed hard as if they heard the funniest joke ever existed in Grivexia.

"This young man..." However, while they were laughing hard, Owner Bu's body trembled as he realized something, "Impossible... This is not possible."

"You are really a funny man, aren't you?" Lang Zing laughed hard again, with words full of mockery and said, "Since you made me laugh, I won't mind forgiving you for the audacity you showed back then."

He paused for a moment and looked at Jin Rou, full of pride and said, "How about being my servant? I can personally pay you well as I have a lot of allowances. Not to mention, my family possesses a golden card like this lady beside you."

"Did you talk enough now?" Jin Rou said with an indifferent expression.

"What?" Lang Zing was surprised. How could this ignorant b.u.mpkin still have the audacity to say such, "Are you really going to oppose me? Even I am a kid, my sect could turn over any powers herein Grivexia!"

"Oh, really?" Jin Rou said, "I don't care if your sect is powerful or not, as long as you don't anger and keep offending me, I won't mind letting you off. I don't care if you are a precious young master of that sect. In my eyes, all of you are equal, worthless."

"Say that again, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Lang Zing's veins bulged in infuriation. Jin Rou had hit a very sore spot in him. After all, as a loved youngmaster of the sect, he was very proud of it and never did someone who opposed them had survived.

He glared daggers to Jin Rou and said, "You have said something you should not have said. How about—"

"Alright alright, since everyone has their own choices of stones already, how about we start cutting the sc.r.a.p stones of your choice?" Owner Bu interrupted as he could tell that the argument between Jin Rou and Lang Zing was getting worse. And he was also trying to sell Jin Rou a favor, and he knew that Jin Rou had noticed this.

Lang Zing harrumphed as he could not do anything at all now that the Owner Bu had said a thing. He could only swallow his anger for a while and repay him back by humiliating him a hundred times for this upcoming cutting phase. He regained his smile and evilly said, "Let's see how would you overcome your dumb humiliation later on."

Everyone was a bit disappointed as the show was postponed. However, when they realized that it would be the most awaited phase, the cutting phase, was about to start, they rejoiced and went to each table prepares for the players.

There were fifteen tables placed with an appropriate distance to each other. Each table had their own master appraisers except the table of Jin Rou. And what's more, Jin Rou had only chosen a single stone. By this, they already concluded that Jin Rou was a dumb and ignorant person. Where was the proclamation he said a while ago? He might be feeling nervous now, as they thought. Or was thinking to dig his own hole and bury himself.

Zin s.h.i.+ looked at Jin Rou with very worried eyes, as her curiosity could no longer be kept, she asked Jin Rou, "Youngmaster Jin, are we sure about this?"

"Fret not, Zin s.h.i.+." Jin Rou smiled and gave her shoulder a tap, "I won't pull your leg here. Trust me with this. Those people will be humiliated soon."

He chuckled and said as if he was looking forward to everyone's demise. He was like a being who plotted everything from the very start.

Zin s.h.i.+ did not say anything and just faced herself forward, bracing everyone's mocking looks and all. Just like the last time, she betted everything to Jin Rou. And if ever Jin Rou was to be humiliated, she would not abandon him at all. Of course, she was still looking for the best outcome, and that was to prove them wrong.

A ma.s.s face-slapping, it is!

As Owner Bu signaled the go, every master appraisers busied themselves for a while to cut the sc.r.a.p stones they had chosen. The cuts should be clean and well, as it might damage the contents of the sc.r.a.p stones.

Half an hour later, voices of joy could be heard as everyone did not pick a worthless item at all. The loots from the sc.r.a.pe stones were 200 years to 1000 years old of stone or item. Such a freaking pricey items! The master appraisers that Owner Bu hired were not just for show!

However, just everyone rejoiced, Lang Zi laughed a bit and said, "Too bad, I still won the game. Come, and see what type of item I got!"

Everyone's attention was caught by this and they looked over. After which, their eyes widened in shock and said, "A 10,000-year old stone of Eliphir!"

Everyone sucked a mouthful of cool air as they realized how vast the distance between them and this young master.
