Chapter 2107: Chapter 2107: Doesnât Matter (3)
Both families have a certain position in the martial arts world, though usually they compete, they also cooperate with each other.
However, the Tan Family Villa mainly deals in the jade business, with one-stop service including mining, stone processing, carving, and finishing, whereas Longyun Villa has a more diverse range of ventures, with the jade business being just one of them, but they have top-tier masters.
âYoung Master Fa.â Gu Qingheng had heard from Yang Ruxin about encountering him before, so he wasnât surprised. After all, the guy is the Ground Snake here; itâs normal for him to be well-informed. âWeâre just passing by, and came to hang around a bit as thereâs nothing much to do.â
Yang Ruxin also nodded with a smile.
âHehe, last time madam really made a big splash.â Fa Qingyang glanced at Yang Ruxin, âGetting two pieces of top-quality jade at once, the odds arenât high.â
âIt was just luck.â Yang Ruxin replied courteously with a smile.
Fa Qingyang didnât say much more. He knew how skilled Yang Ruxin was; otherwise, she couldnât have saved so many people from Wanren Villa. But since she doesnât like to boast, he wouldnât talk excessively. Itâs better to maintain good relations, so he changed the subject: âI heard some senior figures are here to gamble on stones?â Although he hadnât met those people, he knew they surely werenât ordinary.
âThe elderly fellows enjoy some excitement and rarely take interest in this too.â Gu Qingheng chuckled, âLetâs go to your Treasure Pavilion to have the stones opened. Youâre an expert, you can serve as a judge.â
âIâm honored to.â Fa Qingyang gestured courteously.
The chubby boss could only sigh; even if he hadnât wanted them to leave, he didnât have the power to keep them.
The four seniors moved swiftly, returning before an hour had passed.
Although they kept a low profile and seldom appeared, many in the martial world recognized them, especially Nian Qianqian, with her striking white hair, white garb, and the little purple-eyed fox, she stood out and was quickly recognized.
Everyone was surprised; the most beautiful woman of her time had reappeared in the martial world, and simultaneously, someone recognized Dao Xuziâgood heavens, isnât that the Divine Doctor? As for the other two⊠They looked familiar, but people couldnât recall who they were momentarily.
Soon, the outside of the Treasure Pavilion was surrounded, almost to the point of impenetrability.
Fa Qingyang didnât mind and instead ushered everyone to the rear courtyard, which was spacious, and also brought in eight Jade Carving Masters to serve the four seniors in pairs.
Those who recognized the seniorsâ identities didnât speak much of it, nor did they discuss it, while those who didnât recognize them thought it was just a few seniors squabbling.
Anyhow, the jade carving had already started there.
âSis, who do you think will win?â Yu Qingge picked out two stones, but wasnât in a hurry to have them opened; she planned to wait until the competition over there concluded, but she was curious.
âWho do you want to win?â
âDoesnât matter.â Yu Qingge shook her head, âNo matter who wins, thereâll be arguing.â
Yang Ruxin chuckled, then pointed at the two stones in Qinggeâs hand, which werenât too large: âI think youâll win.â She had seen those forty stones and, honestly, felt sorry for her Silver; each person chose evenly from them, with only one stone containing jade. As for the quality, to her expertise, they were about the same.
But both stones Yu Qingge chose contained jade. One of them probably had Ice-type jadeite inside, which alone could crush those four old men.
