Chapter 274: Two hundred seventy-three, how can one bear the emotions? Chapter 274: Two hundred seventy-three, how can one bear the emotions? Upon hearing the news, everyone except for Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, who already knew, showed an incredulous look on their faces.
Li Tianyu quickly walked up, squatted down to examine the rough in front of Liu Xin, only to see the exposed jade had high transparency, was fine and pure, without any blemishes, and was a pure, bright, rich, and uniform emerald green color. Under the light, it looked transparent, clearly top-grade glass jade.
A look of unwillingness appeared in Li Tianyu’s eyes. It must have been sheer luck on the other side, like a blind cat running into a dead rat. Otherwise, how could he possibly lose?
“How about it? It’s glass type, right?” Liu Xin raised a triumphant smile.
Li Tianyu snorted and stood up, “There are still two pieces left, what’s the rush? Luck doesn’t always stick around.”
Liu Xin laughed heartily, “Then let’s continue with the next piece.” Although this piece of jade wouldn’t be very large, its quality had already far surpassed the ice jade selected by Li Tianyu. Even if it was just a small piece, its value would be several times that of the ice jade.
“Just you wait!” Li Tianyu said with a stoic face as he walked back to Zhang Yun’s side.
“Mr. Li, the other side just got lucky, don’t mind it, we still have two pieces,” Zhang Yun consoled and patted Li Tianyu’s shoulder. He had great faith in Li Tianyu, otherwise Li Tianyu’s reputation in the Gambling Stone Circle wouldn’t be so renowned.
“They just got lucky, Master relies on experience, and we will definitely be the ones to win in the end,” said Li Tianyu’s apprentice confidently.
“Indeed!” Zhang Yun nodded in agreement.
Li Tianyu calmed his own emotions, “I’m still very confident in myself.” He just found it difficult to accept the situation temporarily.
After more than half an hour, the second piece of rough was also cut open.
This time, it was Song Yan Ning’s side whose rough was cut first. Liu Xin went to examine it and a happy smile appeared on his face. From the cut, it was clear that the jade inside was definitely top-grade, and could well be another piece of glass jade. The Boss really had the skill! He had casually picked three pieces from the Boss’s selection of roughs, and all turned out to be top-grade jade. One could only imagine the quality of the jade in those roughs.
Seeing Liu Xin’s smiling face, both Zhang Yun and Li Tianyu, the mentor and apprentice, had a bad feeling.
“Master, please use the grinder to polish it, and be careful,” Liu Xin took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the stone cutting master. Generally, when a piece of rough containing jade was cut open, a red packet would be given to the stone cutting master, signifying the hope of continuing this good fortune.
“Alrighty!” the stone cutting master happily accepted the red packet. Even without receiving a red packet, he would be overjoyed to have cut such top-grade jade because this meant his reputation would increase, leading more people to seek him out for stone cutting.
Li Tianyu gritted his teeth, walked up to Liu Xin, and looked at the cut rough, his heart feeling tight. It was top-grade jade again, and it seemed he was set to lose this time.
Turning his gaze to Song Yan Ning, his eyes filled with frustration and rage. He had lost to a teenage girl, how could he bear this? How would he ever get by in the Gambling Stone Circle again?
At this point, the rough on Li Tianyu’s side was also cut open.
“Mr. Li!” Zhang Yun called out, knowing from the look on Li Tianyu’s face that they had lost again.
Li Tianyu turned to see his side of the rough had been cut open, walked up, took a careful look, and shook his head. The quality of the rough opened this time was simply not at the same level as the top-grade jade unveiled on Liu Xin’s side.
Taking a deep breath, Li Tianyu turned to look at Song Yan Ning. One successful find of jade might be due to luck, but a second time was absolutely due to skill. No wonder Liu Xin respected her so much; she truly was extraordinary.
