Ma Tianci sighed, "Ah, as an old man, I’m ashad to say that I still can’t see things as clearly as you, young girl! But that being said, Sang Bo does have a point. Wherever King of Jade ng Po is present, everyone else becos a re backdrop!" Ma Tianci was a bit worried, although the Country Fei Public Disk isn’t exactly a competition, everyone knows that the jade associations from various countries are always competing in secret. In previous years, King of Jade ng Po hasn’t participated, and while the Xuanjin Yu Jade Association hasn’t co out on top, it managed to tie with the Fei Country Jade Association. But this year...
With a helpless sigh, Ma Tianci felt uncertain, placing all his hopes on An Yiqing, though he didn’t want to put too much pressure on her.
"Grandpa Ma, when the boat gets to the pier, it will naturally straighten; so things cannot be forced." An Yiqing, understanding Ma Tianci’s obsession, gently comforted him.
Ma Tianci pondered for a mont before nodding his head.
"Oh right, Grandpa Ma, has ng Po co?" An Yiqing suddenly asked.
Ma Tianci was taken aback and looked around, a hint of confusion surfacing: "Now that you ntion it, I hadn’t noticed; ten years ago, every ti King of Jade ng Po participated in the Country Fei Public Disk, he would always arrive on the day of the dark bid. Now that the dark bid has started, how co he hasn’t shown up yet? Could the rumors be wrong, and he’s actually not going to appear?"
An Yiqing’s watery eyes slightly moved, but she said nothing.
King of Jade ng Po will not fail to appear, nor will the rumors be false. This ti’s Country Fei Public Disk is definitely unusual. As for why ng Po hasn’t appeared yet, An Yiqing kept her thoughts to herself.
After bidding farewell to Ma Tianci, An Yiqing left with Zhang Yuksheng and the disguised Gu Yelin, starting the search for top-quality jade in the various rough stone areas.
The dark bid divides by the volu of the rough stones into five major areas. In them, Area One has the smallest volu of rough stones, while Area Five has the largest. However, the size of the volu does not represent the value and quality of the rough stones.
Standing in the passage of Area One, An Yiqing used her Clairvoyant Eye to scan the stack of rough stones above, her gaze firming.
"What’s wrong, miss? Is there a problem with the rough stones?" Zhang Yuksheng noticed An Yiqing’s strange expression and quickly stepped forward to ask.
An Yiqing withdrew her gaze, taking a deep breath as she hooked a faint arc at the corner of her lips.
"There is indeed a problem, and it’s a big one. No wonder so many Aristocratic families are drawn to this year’s Country Fei Public Disk, this is what’s happening!"
An Yiqing chuckled softly and walked straight to the depths of Area One.
Zhang Yuksheng looked puzzled, not understanding what An Yiqing ant by her words. He glanced back confusedly at Gu Yelin behind him, at a loss.
"Don’t think too much, just trust her." The disguised Gu Yelin spoke while subtly scanning around with his unremarkable eyes. When he noticed Guh Tian and Guh Siyi observing An Yiqing from afar, his gaze paused for a mont, then quickly moved away.
"Let’s go, this Public Disk is fraught with crises, you’d better stay by her side and be mindful of your safety." After speaking, Gu Yelin lifted his steps and left.
Zhang Yuksheng nodded, sowhat overwheld by being taken into concern by the usually cold-as-ice General Gu, as not many could withstand such attention. Containing his inner excitent, he lifted his steps to follow.
In one morning, An Yiqing finished scanning all the rough stones in Area One with her Clairvoyant Eye, ntally noting all the rough stones she wanted to bid on.
"I’ve been looking all morning, and they’re all worthless stones, I really don’t know how these things can produce jade!" In a restaurant, Ruan Xue plopped down into a chair, chugged down a glass of water, and complained to An Yiqing, "Xiao Qing, do you usually deal with these worthless stones all the ti? Aren’t you tired of researching the sa stone over and over every day?"
An Yiqing looked at Ruan Xue with amusent but said nothing.
However, Zhang Yuksheng chuckled and began to explain to Ruan Xue, "Miss Ruan Xue, every profession has its specialty. These things may look like worthless stones to you, but in Miss and my eyes, they’re all treasures. It’s like costics: you girls see lipsticks and eye shadows and your eyes light up, but n just can’t figure it out no matter how they look at it. It’s all the sa principle."
Ruan Xue pouted, also realizing she was an outsider, and stopped talking.
"Brother Yusheng, you don’t need to mind her, this girl understands everything. She’s just a little monkey, like that girl Nan Tian, can’t sit still." An Yiqing smiled at Ruan Xue as if trying to see through her, "Isn’t it just that you want to go out and have fun after bustling around like this all day?"
Ruan Xue gave a sheepish grin, obediently looking at An Yiqing, "It’s still Xiao Qing who knows best. This boring Country Fei Public Disk is really uninteresting. A bunch of people research a pile of worthless stones over and over, it’s better to go out and play on my own. Xiao Qing, let go out, please? I’ll go crazy if I keep holding back like this."
"You plan to go out on your own?" An Yiqing raised her eyebrow.
"No, no, no, in Country Fei where I don’t know the place or the people, how could I go out on my own? How about this, let take Little Fatty with ?" Ruan Xue grabbed Xia Hao’s hand and looked at An Yiqing with anticipation, not noticing Xia Hao’s slightly red face.
An Yiqing teased Xia Hao with a glance, then said to Ruan Xue, "You don’t know the place, and you think Haozi is familiar with it? Wanting to go out and play isn’t impossible, go find your brother and get him to assign you two bodyguards, then you can go wherever you want. No problem."
"What? I have to find my brother?! He’s so fierce, how could he let go out? Besides, he hasn’t even settled accounts with for leaving ho without permission!" At the ntion of Ruan Hao, Ruan Xue imdiately deflated.
"What else do you want to do? This Country Fei is a chaotic place, if sothing really happens to you, how would you want to explain it to Ruan Hao?" An Yiqing arched her eyebrows, "Your brother is dining in the next room. Let him assign soone to protect you, then I can be at ease. Otherwise, don’t even think about going out to play."
Ruan Xue wore a miserable expression, collapsing onto the table like she was boneless. Asking her to get permission from Ruan Hao was worse than killing her.
"Xiao Xue, should I... go ask Brother Ruan for you?" Xia Hao saw that Ruan Xue really wanted to go out and considered it.
Ruan Xue’s eyes lit up with joy but then turned gloomy again.
"Forget it, forget it. If you ask my brother, he’ll tear apart. Better if I go..." Ruan Xue lethargically got up, swaying as she walked to the door. She opened it, stepped outside, then walked back in, looking tearfully at Xia Hao, "Little Fatty, if I don’t co back in thirty minutes, you must rember to rescue !"
Xia Hao nodded with a smile, watching Ruan Xue leave.
After Ruan Xue left, only An Yiqing, Zhang Yuksheng, Xia Hao, and Gu Yelin were left in the room. Zhang Yuksheng glanced at An Yiqing, then at Xia Hao, and tactfully stood up.
"I’m going to the bathroom."
Gu Yelin also suddenly stood up and walked out with Zhang Yuksheng.
At this ti, only An Yiqing and Xia Hao were left in the room. For so reason, looking at An Yiqing sitting opposite him made Xia Hao suddenly feel a bit uneasy.
"Xiao Qing, can you stop looking at like that, it’s creeping out..." Xia Hao squird uneasily, looking pitifully at An Yiqing.
An Yiqing couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Xia Hao with curved eyes and asked softly, "Your mood seems pretty good recently."
The smile on Xia Hao’s face slightly faded, "It’s okay, what you said is right, I can’t always be imrsed in my parents’ issues. They wouldn’t want to see like this either."
