303: Chapter 0303: Skylight 303: Chapter 0303: Skylight Master Jiang and Master Chen both looked at Qin Yu, who smiled and nodded, indicating that they could start the stone cutting.
This ti, Qin Yu did not personally select the raw stones, as defeating Hu Zhuoqing was a foregone conclusion.
Master Jiang randomly chose a piece of raw stone, and Qin Yu knew there was nothing in it.
As expected, the first stone Master Jiang chose collapsed.
Qin Yu appeared very calm about it.
However, others did not see it that way.
“Old Hu, I told you, there’s really no need to be depressed.
Stone gambling is stone gambling, with nine out of ten bets leading to losses.
It’s quite good that you’ve managed to increase the value of two out of your five stones!
I guess Master Qin’s remaining three stones will surely all collapse.”
Upon hearing his friend’s words, Hu Zhuoqing’s expression softened a bit.
If it turned out as his old friend had said, and the remaining three stones all collapsed, he could save so face.
That would prove that Qin Yu’s stone gambling skills were just average and that it was only luck that led him to the Stone King.
Having been embarrassingly wrong before, Hu Zhuoqing did not dare to co forward and mock openly this ti; he decided to wait until the last mont.
It has to be said, Master Jiang was quite effective and managed to pick out the only stone without jade in it from the three stones!
Without any surprises, this stone also collapsed.
The consecutive failures made many bosses look at Qin Yu differently, their eyes no longer filled with enthusiasm; they shared the sa thoughts as Hu Zhuoqing.
So bosses started whispering among themselves, “It seems Master Qin isn’t so remarkable after all—two consecutive stones collapsed.
He’s not much better than Master Hu.”
“After all, Master Hu is an old hand at stone gambling in Luo City, and it feels more reliable to gamble with him.”
…
Hearing the bosses’ discussions, Su Ziyan felt very guilty.
She shouldn’t have been so willful and chosen four stones.
Otherwise, Qin Yu wouldn’t be questioned.
Su Ziyan quickly said with a bright smile, “Gentlen, I was the one who chose these four stones, not my dear Qin Yu.
It’s very normal for them to collapse.”
“Don’t worry, sweetheart, how could they possibly collapse?
With your luck, they will definitely increase in value.”
Is Master Qin acknowledging what the lady said?
Many bosses shook their heads.
A man should take responsibility; how could he let a woman bear the consequences of failure?
Any respect the bosses might have had for Qin Yu disappeared completely.
Hu Zhuoqing’s mood gradually improved.
However, to be cautious, Hu Zhuoqing did not jump out and say anything, though a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
The process today was a bit tortuous, but he might end up laughing last after all today!
Hu Zhuoqing folded his arms, waiting for the final outco to unfold.
Unfortunately for Hu Zhuoqing, he did not get to see the ideal final outco he had in mind, as the next stone Master Jiang picked up was the one containing water-type jadeite.
“Master Jiang, just open a 2.5 centiters deep window,” Qin Yu reminded with a smile.
Master Jiang nodded in agreent.
The other bosses and gambling stone masters shook their heads—such a large stone, with just a 2.5 centiters window?
How big must the jade within be?
It was simply ridiculous.
However, no one mocked Qin Yu, as they had lost interest in ridiculing a competitor who relied on a woman to shoulder his mistakes.
He was not worth their breath.
Master Jiang was obedient and strictly followed Qin Yu’s instruction, opening a 2.5 centiters deep window on the stone.
Then Master Jiang was stunned!
He saw a thick white fog!
The strong movent of the fog indicated a huge amount of jade within the stone!
“There’s fog!
Master Qin, should we continue cutting?” Master Jiang suppressed his excitent, turning his head to look at Qin Yu.
