Hai Dongyang shuddered involuntarily: "Master...Master Ba? Which Master Ba?"

"Never mind if you don't know." Le Yao could tell from the other person's expression that they knew, but seemed to have some reservations, so she waved her hand and said, "Tao Qing, see the guest out."

"No, wait!" Hai Dongyang hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm telling you, girl..."

"Who are you calling 'sister'?" Le Yao glared at her.

"Sister," Hai Dongyang quickly corrected himself.

"I'm only twenty-three, and you're thirty, right? Who are you calling 'sister'?"

Hai Dongyang: ...

This is so hard for me, what should I call myself?

"Alright, stop trying to get close to me. I don't know you that well. Just say what you need to say."

"Um... I really need a stone."

"Hehe, I really want to go back to the story of that domineering man."

Hai Dongyang scratched his head: "How about this, I'll ask my grandfather, okay? I wasn't even born when my grandfather came to settle down here. I did hear about Ba Ye's deeds later, but I only talked about them in secret. Now, we're basically not allowed to mention him anymore."

Le Yao frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Okay." Then she gestured to the stones on the table, "If you can tell me any useful information, I'll give you all these stones."

Hai Dongyang twitched the corner of his mouth, then nodded: "Okay, I'll call my grandfather now and get back to you in ten minutes." He then got up and left.

Le Yao breathed a sigh of relief; this was truly an unexpected delight.

In the hall, Sangya's expression was not good. Such a large glass-type imperial green jadeite had appeared, so basically no one could surpass it afterward. It was even estimated that this year's top bidder would be inferior. She really didn't expect that silly woman to have such good luck.

"Sangya, shall we cut the stone?" Black Hawk prompted.

"Go ahead and do it," Sangye said, snapping out of her daze.

Black Hawk then personally carried the stone to the stone-cutting room.

Byron and Aichen were also in the stone-cutting room. They had bought several stones and had cut three so far. One of them was a type of glutinous rice, so they hadn't come away empty-handed. However, the next two stones were completely wasted, yielding nothing.

There were some bids for that piece of glutinous rice jade, but the highest bid was only 500,000. However, the purchase of these stones alone cost nearly 4 million, so it was a bad gamble.

Ai Chen's complexion was not very good.

Byron, however, didn't seem to care. Instead, he patted Ai Chen on the shoulder and said, "You're upset about such a small amount of money?"

"No." Ai Chen shook her head. She didn't care about the millions, but she felt frustrated. That person had just rejected the Imperial Green jadeite, while she hadn't gotten any from two Glass Green jadeite specimens. It's true that comparisons are odious.

Meanwhile, Sangya's stone was also unearthed and its value increased. It was an icy red jadeite, the size of an adult's fist, and its value exceeded ten million.

Ai Chen felt even worse.

Why is she considered inferior to everyone else?

Byron glanced at the woman whose face wasn't looking too good, and gave a sarcastic smirk. If he didn't need a shield, he really wouldn't bother with this idiot. How could a man like A-Jue possibly be interested in someone like her? She only thinks she's something special.

In the VIP room, Hai Dongyang returned after making a phone call with his grandfather: "My grandfather welcomes you to visit our home."

Le Yao raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's great, tomorrow morning then, I'll come and bother you for a bit."
