Ruan Jinhua said, "Yes, yes, don’t cut anymore. We’ve earned enough, and if we keep cutting and find nothing, it’ll be embarrassing."
To his surprise, Nianyang just smiled and said leisurely, "That won’t do. You must finish what you start. Didn’t you all think I was definitely going to lose just a mont ago, and yet it backfired? I trust my intuition, so please go ahead with the cutting, Stone Solver."
Alright then, since the host insisted, he had no choice but to comply.
"Overestimating oneself!" Jiang Sheng snorted coldly.
So, under the skeptical eyes of everyone, the Stone Solver carefully took out the grinding tool and cautiously started cutting from the edge of the rough stone.
"Zzz..."
As a puff of blue smoke arose, everyone held their breath, not taking their eyes off the stone for even a mont. Sure enough, as the first layer of the outer shell was cut open, the inside still showed black, clearly just waste rock.
"Tch..." Disappointed sighs erupted around, as they thought it was hopeless.
Jiang Huan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, feeling vindicated,
"I told you, this crappy rock can’t even reveal jade, let alone a ruby. You’ve lost..."
"What’s the rush? This is just the first cut! There are still two cuts left!" Nianyang glanced at her coolly and retorted sarcastically,
"Moreover, out of the ten pieces cut by your so-called Jade King, almost all turned out to be waste rocks. Second Miss Jiang, just where do you get the nerve to mock ?"
"..."
Jiang Huan’s face turned green with embarrassnt, wishing she could just disappear.
The next second, others chid in with mockery, "Exactly, even if there is no ruby, the Ruan Family managed to create an Obsidian miracle, which is already sothing to show off and admire. Their heap of waste rocks is the real embarrassnt!"
Jiang Sheng glanced impatiently at Jiang Huan, frustrated at having such a foolish daughter who only tarnished the Jiang Family’s reputation.
Had he known, he would have turned her into a test subject!
Jiang Huan turned red with anger from the remarks but couldn’t find words to rebut. She could only glare at Nianyang hatefully, as if trying to kill her with her eyes.
Nianyang didn’t have ti to bother with this "white lotus." She watched eagerly as the Stone Solver comnced the second cut.
Another puff of blue smoke erged, but the revealed color was still black, causing the room to stir with agitation, and people looked at Nianyang with sympathetic expressions.
Everyone now shared the sentint that if she hadn’t insisted on cutting, at least it would have ended peacefully. Now, look, she’s really embarrassed herself!
Hahaha, there really is no ruby, indeed no ruby!!!
If not for maintaining her goddess-like image, Jiang Huan would’ve wanted to dance and sing around the hall. Nianyang had been too smug tonight, and if she really cut out a ruby, Jiang Huan would have gone crazy.
Ruan Jinhua watched anxiously, knowing there was no hope, but still kept muttering, "God, please bless us, please let it be a ruby!"
"Young lady, it’s already the second cut, and I think it’s genuinely waste rock." The Stone Solver looked up, with a face full of expected disappointnt, and said to Nianyang.
Nianyang remained nonchalant, as if she cared nothing about what was happening before her.
Upon hearing this, her eyes sparkled slightly, and she said in a light tone, "Master, do you know what’s the most essential trait for becoming the best Stone Solver?"
