Chapter 1692 - 1687: A Priceless Cut

At this moment, Fu Yun’s expression was extremely ferocious...

What he couldn’t stand the most was being questioned, especially by young people...

In his view, these young people had no right to question him...

Unafraid of being intimidated by Fu Yun, they retorted sarcastically, "Of course, our skills can’t possibly be better than yours! After all, it’s difficult for us to cut open thirteen blocks of raw jade stone and not see a single trace of jade."

"Exactly!"

"Right!"

Initially, they truly respected Fu Yun...

But now, they no longer respected him as much, so they mocked him with cold sneers.

"You all..."

Almost driven mad with rage, Fu Yun was about to say something more when he suddenly heard an ecstatic exclamation.

"Oh my God, there really is jade!"

Upon hearing this, he quickly turned his head and saw a deep emerald color seeping out from the raw jade stone.

The color wasn’t particularly dark green...

But it still shocked him to the point where he didn’t know what to say.

...

Watching Fu Yun’s shock, Hu Xiaobei looked at him and asked with feigned puzzlement, "Well... I don’t know much about jadeite, can you tell me if this counts as jade?"

"Smack!"

Hearing such a heart-piercing question, Fu Yun’s body trembled!

At this moment, he truly felt that he had been slapped hard by Hu Xiaobei again...

Earlier, he had confidently asserted that it was impossible for there to be any jade in this raw stone, yet they actually cut out jade!

Although the quality of the jade seemed poor, it was still jade...

Seeing Fu Yun at a loss for words, everyone present took a few steps back, and at the same time, they all silently lowered their heads!

They knew that they had lost, and lost completely...

Thinking that the reason for their failure was all due to Fu Yun, they glared at him with resentment.

At this moment, their respect for Fu Yun was completely gone...

Originally with a blank mind, Fu Yun suddenly trembled all over as they stared at him like this...

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Hu Xiaobei, hysterically shouting, "It’s just dumb luck, you must be having dumb luck now!"

"Dumb luck?"

"Yes! It’s just dumb luck. If you have the ability, cut open the other raw stones. If there’s still jade, then I’ll believe you!"

With a sympathetic glance at him, Hu Xiaobei shook his head slightly, "Some people just won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin. Since you insist, I’ll agree to your request!"

Upon hearing how quickly Hu Xiaobei agreed to his request, his eyelids twitched.

"Damn, he actually agreed? Could it be that he really has some confidence? No! Impossible, there’s no way he could be confident. He’s just pretending! Yes, just pretending!"

Feeling more and more reasonable the more he thought about it, Fu Yun gradually calmed down...

Hu Xiaobei, unaware of the complex changes in his mind, now turned to the young man from the Sun family who had previously helped Fu Yun cut the jade stone.

Being stared at by Hu Xiaobei made him a little nervous inside.

"What is this about? Could it be I offended him earlier?"

Thinking this, the young man heard Hu Xiaobei speak plainly, "Young man, your stone cutting skills seem good. I have six more raw jade stones here; are you interested in helping me cut them?"

"Of course, I am!"

After exclaiming excitedly, he suddenly looked towards Sun Gangmeng!

Suddenly, he remembered that he was opposed to Hu Xiaobei...

Sun Gangmeng glanced at him and rasped, "As long as Master Xiaobei doesn’t mind, then go ahead and help! Remember, do it seriously, don’t disgrace our Sun family!"

The outcome is decided!

Sun Gangmeng knew the outcome was decided, so whatever happened next didn’t matter.

When Sun Gangmeng saw the jade emerge, he really wanted to back out, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

Because he couldn’t see through Hu Xiaobei...

He felt that if he opposed Hu Xiaobei, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Alright! Family Head, I understand!"

Hearing such a response, he finally felt a mainstay of support!

Taking a deep breath, he quickly ran to Hu Xiaobei’s side.

Hu Xiaobei looked at him and said calmly, "Start cutting."

Startled for a second, he was rather surprised and asked, "Master Xiaobei, aren’t you going to mark the lines?"

"Believe in yourself. Cut as you see fit! As for marking lines, I feel it’s completely unnecessary!"

Hu Xiaobei had previously observed that he was quite competent.

So Hu Xiaobei decided not to mark lines and let him play to his own strengths.

"Okay!"

He nodded excitedly!

At this moment, he was truly as excited as if he had been injected with adrenaline...

Years later, when someone asked him why he became an expert, he told them about this incident.

Saying that such boundless trust gave him a sufficiently strong motivation...

...

"He really is lucky!"

"That’s what I’m saying!"

Many people around, seeing the young man brimming with excitement as he fiddled with the stone cutting machine, spoke softly.

At this moment, they were really a bit envious of him...

Because they knew this truly was a great opportunity...

"Looks like he’s determined to go against me!"

Seeing the young man excitedly preparing, Fu Yun, with a face as dark as can be, clenched his fists tightly.

Previously, he hadn’t allowed the young man to continue cutting stone, but now, Hu Xiaobei insisted on having him help.

This was clearly setting against him!

"Fine, have it your way! I’ll let you have some momentary pride, but soon you’ll suffer!"

He didn’t believe that there would be jade in the other six raw jade stones, so he was now waiting for Hu Xiaobei to make a fool of himself...

With a smirk, he suddenly thought of something, and in an instant, he turned to look at Sun Gangmeng.

"Sun Family Head! You partnered with me before, but now you’ve chosen Hu Xiaobei. Let’s see how you end up!"

He could tell that Sun Gangmeng had abandoned him...

Realizing this, he began to resent Sun Gangmeng...

...

"Master Xiaobei, I’m all set up. Can we start now?"

Hearing his anxious inquiry, Hu Xiaobei waved his hand lightly, speaking calmly, "You’re the one cutting; when you’re ready, you can start!"

"Alright!"

Taking a deep breath, he directly started the stone cutting machine, Hu Xiaobei smiled and stepped back to the table, once again pouring himself a glass of water...

Once poured, Hu Xiaobei quietly watched the young man!

Hu Xiaobei knew that soon, exclamations of surprise would follow, because beneath the surface of this raw jade stone was the purest ice species jade...

As Hu Xiaobei thought this, the stone cutting machine pierced through the surface of the raw jade stone...

As it was opened, sunlight shone in, and in that instant, everyone saw a dazzling emerald color...

"There’s jade again!"

Thinking this, they quickly crowded in, and soon, they identified it as the purest ice species jade!

"This... this is simply amazing!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Everyone couldn’t help but marvel...

The young man responsible for the cutting felt as if his whole body was trembling...

"Ice species... I... I actually cut out ice species? Is this real? Is this real?"

Shaking more and more, he directly sat down on the ground.

Everyone in the Sun family saw this scene, but no one laughed at him, because they knew if they had cut out such a priceless piece of jade, they would have been even more excited and shaken...
