Many people even started to breathe rapidly, wondering if they would have the chance to kiss Queen Medusa after accumulating huge debts.
However, seeing how professionally she examined the rough stones, some people gradually panicked. Banka shouted, "Have you made your choices yet? Stop dawdling. Don't bother looking at the rest. Each one is more expensive than a thousand yuan stones. You can't afford them even if you look at them."
Seemingly heeding his words, Yu Yanluo returned to Shi Min and the others, gazing at the four rough stones on the table, lost in thought.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen asked in secret.
Yu Yanluo replied, "After looking around, these are indeed the few pieces that have the best chance of yielding something, but would Shi Min really be so kind?"
Although she has been in charge of the jade family for many years and has rich experience in identifying rough stones, she is only much better than the average person. Even the most discerning master craftsman cannot be 100% accurate. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called gambling on stones, it would be picking up money.
So she was worried that there was something wrong with these stones.
On the contrary, Zuan looked relaxed: "Don't think too much about it. Maybe he just randomly pointed out a few pieces to trick us, but he didn't expect there to be something inside."
Yu Yanluo always felt that Shi Min was not such a simple person, but she still chose to trust Zu An: "Okay, I'll choose these four pieces."
After saying that, he handed the two bags to the butler standing to the side.
Banka and Heichigu's eyelids twitched; this was their money.
The butler's subordinate stepped forward to hand over the money, while he went to the table and said, "Since there's a bet, I'll cut the stone myself."
Given his experience, he generally wouldn't be interested in rough stones with the characters "็" or "้ป". This time, he made an exception because of the Lion Prince and Queen Medusa.
As he spoke, he took out a piece of rough stone, and without using any tools, he simply turned his hand into a knife and cut it off next to the stone.
The hard stone was easily sliced โโoff like tofu, causing many people around to shrink their pupils slightly. This Biyuan Garden was indeed extraordinary; even a steward was such a master.
As he gently stroked it, the outer layer of the rough stone was cut away layer by layer, becoming smaller and smaller, until finally, the inside remained grayish-white.
The butler shook his head: "There's nothing there."
A burst of laughter erupted around them, and those who had participated in the bet breathed a sigh of relief. What were they worried about? These rough stones with the yellow characters weren't so easy to find anything of value, especially since these stones were among the least valuable even in the yellow category.
Yu Yanluo remained calm. Such a thing was all too normal; no one could have guessed it perfectly.
Then the steward cut open another stone, and it was still empty inside.
Banka and Heichiran laughed, feeling inexplicably excited at the thought of Queen Medusa begging them with tears in her eyes.
