Chapter 1691 - 1686: You Think You’re Better Than Me?
As Hu Xiaobei spoke calmly, everyone’s attention once again focused on Fu Yun...
This made Fu Yun, who had a fierce expression, the center of attention once again.
Nodding vigorously, Fu Yun shouted, "That’s right! The fact that none of these thirteen jade raw stones have any jade proves there’s an issue with this batch. The seven stones you chose are from the same batch, so there’s no way they contain even a bit of jade!"
The more Fu Yun spoke, the more confident he became!
By the end, Fu Yun was visibly excited, his spirits soaring!
Fu Yun had encountered similar situations several times before.
Because of these experiences, he was confident his judgment was correct this time...
Hearing Fu Yun speak so assuredly, all the Sun family members and the Sun Family Head squinted.
They had heard this theory before...
Seeing everyone quieted again by Fu Yun’s words, Lv Xinxin turned to Lv Beibei and seriously asked, "Brother, is this situation real? Does raw stone from the same batch always perform the same?"
"Sister, this situation does exist! You know jade isn’t formed bit by bit but is created on a larger scale, so generally, jade in the same batch of raw stones won’t differ much. The fact that those thirteen raw stones have no jade suggests these seven might be the same. But it’s not absolute! There are exceptions!"
"I see!"
Seeing Lv Xinxin not looking very panicked, Lv Beibei’s eye twitched, hesitating for a second before asking, "Sister, you don’t seem worried after learning about this theory? Aren’t you afraid Master Xiaobei might lose?"
Glancing at the overly tense Lv Beibei, Lv Xinxin smiled, "Lose? Is that possible? Besides, even if the seven jade raw stones don’t contain any jade, it’s only a draw, right?"
"Well... that’s true!"
Lv Beibei slowly nodded...
Lv Xinxin’s smile grew more relaxed, "Since it’s only a draw, why should we be nervous now!"
"Exactly!"
Nodding in agreement, Lv Beibei looked again, feeling much more at ease than before.
Hu Xiaobei looked at him and calmly asked, "What if there is jade in them?"
With a sneer, he shouted disdainfully, "Are you fooling around with me? I know they look good on the outside, but it’s useless. Those thirteen stones looked good too, yet not a bit of jade was found! Your seven stones definitely won’t have jade either."
"What if there is jade!"
Unperturbed, Hu Xiaobei asked again.
"You’re really set on challenging me, huh? Fine! Since you want a challenge, if there’s jade inside, I’ll kneel and call you dad! From now on, whenever I see you, I’ll kneel and call you dad!"
Glancing at him, Hu Xiaobei asked directly, "Do I look that old?"
"What exactly do you want?"
"It’s simple. If there’s jade in there, you’ll find a corner to hide in and never come out to cause trouble again. Can you do that?"
"I can do that! Of course I can!"
"In that case, go stand aside and watch closely now!"
Finished speaking, Hu Xiaobei turned to Lv Beibei and said, "I remember asking you to hold onto some sandpaper earlier, right?"
"Yes!"
Nodding in agreement, Lv Beibei quickly took out the new sandpaper he had prepared from his pocket.
Hu Xiaobei smiled and took it, crouching calmly before the first jade raw stone.
After crouching down, Hu Xiaobei pulled out a piece of sandpaper and began to rub its surface.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei take out sandpaper, he knew his chance to add insult to injury had arrived.
Immediately, he mocked coldly, "A true novice, using such a method!"
Hearing the mockery, Hu Xiaobei didn’t look up and said directly, "Compared to you, I’m certainly a beginner, but I’d like to ask you, the expert, how much jade have you uncovered before?"
"You..."
Fu Yun’s eyelids twitched violently...
Soon, he thought of a response and replied coldly, "The reason I failed before wasn’t due to my lack of skill, but because these jade raw stones contained no jade! One can’t cook without ingredients; there’s no jade, so how could I uncover any, right."
"Whether there is or isn’t isn’t for you to say, is it?"
"Then I’ll wait and see, though I feel you’re about to be humiliated!"
"Someone will be humiliated, but it definitely won’t be me!"
Hu Xiaobei retorted with a cold smile and continued sanding, as the surface of the jade raw stone gradually disappeared under his actions.
At first, nothing appeared...
Seeing this, the hate-filled Fu Yun got ready to speak, but then he vaguely saw a hint of green.
"What the hell is going on?"
When the green color appeared, he instinctively rubbed his eyes.
After rubbing them, he looked again, confirming there truly was a faint green.
"Is jade about to appear? It can’t be! It absolutely can’t be!"
In his heart, he roared, his expression twisting to the extreme...
He didn’t believe jade would appear, convinced he must be mistaken!
Then he heard a shocked voice from the surrounding crowd.
"Oh my God, did I just see green?"
"You saw it too? I thought I was the only one who saw it!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
Everyone nodded quickly...
Because they had all truly seen it...
But just before, they hadn’t dared to be sure.
Now, they were sure, because they weren’t the only ones who saw it.
Originally furious, Fu Yun turned his face darkly upon hearing such excitement from the crowd, hysterically yelling, "Shut up! The thirteen raw jade stones I cut open earlier had no jade, these seven stones can’t possibly have jade, you all are seeing things."
Hearing Fu Yun’s hysterical yelling, their brows furrowed!
"Are you kidding? We’ve all been seeing things?"
"Exactly!"
"There’s a limit to nonsense!"
Listening to these differing opinions, Fu Yun sneered, "What? You have opinions on me? You think you’re more capable than me?"
