"It's another piece of jadeite rock!"
The onlookers were stunned.
These rare sights of jade-green rocks are appearing one after another today; they're practically turning into cabbages...
Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but in reality, people's feelings can't be simply summed up with "Holy crap".
"but……"
Master Lu Dan sighed.
"This young friend's stone is indeed a jadeite rock, but its size..."
Master Lu Dan sighed and handed the piece of jadeite rock to Jing Mang.
"It seems the outcome is already decided," Miss Zheng Shuang said with a smile, and then prepared to lead her people to pack up the rough stones.
Yes, you read that right, it's not about picking, it's about packing.
This guy never intended to leave Jiang Mu a way out.
"etc."
Just then, Zhongli's voice rang out.
"What, is Elder Zhongli going to show favoritism?"
Zheng Shuang turned around and sneered.
"I am bound by a contract, so naturally I will not engage in favoritism or corruption." Zhong Li's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "However, Miss Zheng Shuang, would you be so kind as to show me your 'Jadeite Rock'?"
"See?"
Zheng Shuang stretched out his hand, and the jadeite rock lay quietly in his palm, reflecting a warm light.
"Refusing to accept a sick son-in-law." (Slip of the tongue)
A stone platform rose up in front of Zhongli.
“Mr. Jiang Mu, Ms. Zheng Shuang, please place the ‘Jadeite Rock’ you are holding onto this platform.”
"this……"
Zheng Shuang frowned slightly.
"Don't worry." Zhongli seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly.
"The two pieces of jadeite are different in color and size, so you don't need to worry that I will confuse them."
“Okay…okay…” Zheng Shuang was slightly taken aback when she saw Zhong Li’s smile. Then she blushed unconsciously and walked lightly to the stone platform, placing the jade pendant on it.
"Holy crap!" Jiang Mu exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
As expected of the Emperor, he easily accomplished what I could not...
"What are you looking at?" Zhong Li glanced at Jiang Mu and said indifferently.
"Hurry up and put your Jadeite Rock up here."
As he spoke, he took another sip of tea.
This kid, I really wanted to help him out, but he's still so clueless. I don't know what's wrong with Grandpa and Grandma Hu Tao...
Well, it's best not to meddle in other people's family affairs...
………………
"Oh, oh, oh."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu hurriedly placed the piece of jadeite on the stone platform and rubbed his hands together.
As expected of the Jadeite Rock, a small red spot appeared on his hand after only holding it for a short while.
Wearing this for an extended period of time can really be deadly, just like in the game.
Jiang Mu thought to himself.
While Jiang Mu was brainstorming, Zhong Li was already standing on the stage, explaining to everyone.
"This jadeite rock is actually a unique mineral."
"Even in this giant abyss of rock, it is extremely rare."
"Things are valued because they are rare, which is why they are so expensive."
………………
"I see……"
The onlookers all nodded in agreement.
Zhongli took a sip of tea and continued his charade... cough cough, explaining.
"Although many people pursue this rare and valuable mineral, what they don't know is that this expensive jadeite is actually a catalyst that sends them to their death."
"What do you mean?" someone in the crowd asked in confusion. "I've never heard of this before."
"This is the conclusion I reached through testing and experiments with Mr. Baizhu from Bubulu. It has not been made public yet, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Zhongli said calmly.
"Then..." the man wanted to argue.
"As for the other owners of the Emerald Jade Rock, they were probably too greedy to think of the cause, even though they had problems themselves," Zhongli sighed softly.
"Then, Mr. Zhongli, what does this have to do with the current bet?"
Someone in the crowd asked again.
"As is well known, there is a type of mineral that coexists with emerald quartz rock, and its name is similar to that of emerald quartz rock, called emerald quartz rock."
"Although it was formed at the same time as the jadeite rock, this jadeite rock is non-toxic, and its price is far less than that of the jadeite rock."
Everyone understood; they naturally knew this.
"Mr. Zhongli, what do you mean by this?"
At this moment, Zheng Shuang realized what was happening and said unhappily.
"Could it be that Mr. Zhongli is saying that of these two jadeite rocks, only one is real, and the other is jadeite-containing rock?"
"Miss Zheng Shuang is absolutely right."
Zhongli nodded.
“Then, Guest Elder Zhongli,” Zheng said sarcastically, crossing his arms.
"You're not going to tell me that the piece of Emerald Jade I just unearthed was worthless?"
"Miss Zheng Shuang is truly exceptionally intelligent."
Zhongli praised.
“However, Miss Zheng Shuang, you are wrong about one thing,” Zhong Li corrected with a smile. “The Emerald Rock is not worthless. Every kind of rock has its own unique value, so please don’t confuse them.”
"Heh." Zheng Shuang no longer cared about her ladylike demeanor and roared like a mad dog.
"You say this is fake? Then show me the evidence."
"There is evidence, of course."
Zhongli said calmly.
"Jiang Mu, and Miss Zheng Shuang, please extend the hand you just used to grab the Emerald Jade Rock."
The two did as instructed.
“If it were genuine Emerald Jade Rock, even in this short period of time, it would still cause some harm to your bodies,” Zhongli said calmly.
Everyone looked at the two people's hands. Zheng Shuang's hands were still smooth as jade, while Jiang Mu's hands had faint red marks for some reason.
"Maybe...maybe he used too much force and hurt his hand!"
“This…” Zhongli was also somewhat taken aback.
To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a guy like this.
Seeing Zhong Li get the short end of the stick, Zheng Shuang became arrogant again.
"Everyone knows this guy is from your Rebirth Hall. I'm afraid you came here this time to conspire with him to swindle our Zheng family."
"You can take any medicine you want, but you can't say anything you want." Jiang Mu interrupted Zheng Shuang directly. "Which eye of yours saw that I'm from the Hall of Rebirth?"
"Oh."
Zheng Shuang sneered.
"Judging from the way you and that little bitch Hu Tao were exchanging glances, who..."
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out.
"I'm really sorry." Jiang Mu withdrew his hand and patted off the dust.
"Your mouth is so offensive, I have no choice but to discipline you on behalf of your parents."
"How dare you hit me!"
Zheng Shuang covered her face, furious.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, he was about to pounce on Jiang Mu with his claws outstretched, but was held back tightly by the servants behind him.
"Calm down, young lady."
………………
"hehe……"
At this moment, Wu Hu came up, quietly observed the two stones on the table for a while, and then sighed softly.
"Alright, Miss, let's go..."
