This legendary top-grade jadeite can actually be opened by someone. Anyone who has seen it will probably never forget it for the rest of their life. The charm of the jadeite at the time, even though it had not been polished, the chilling aura and the rich water quality are still unforgettable to this day.
It’s just that what Xie Ba did made people feel unhappy.
Even if they wanted to rob, couldn't they do it secretly? Why did they have to make it known to the world? Do they think that everyone in their gambling stone world is dead?
Mr. Huo took action.
As long as Mr. Huo takes action, Xie Ba will be nothing.
As long as we have Mr. Huo, there will be rules.
They all called him Old Huo, as if the protagonist this time was either Liu Jing or Zeng Xubai, and in the end they both became Old Huo.
Liu Liang was eating her favorite fish and listening. Why was it still Mr. Huo?
"What is the identity of that Mr. Huo?"
She asked Zeng Xubai.
"He is the leading figure in the gambling stone industry and also our senior. It can be said that with him around, anyone who violates the rules of gambling stone will not be able to escape punishment. Although Zeng Xubai did not say much, his words and gestures still showed his respect and admiration for Mr. Huo."
"It's just a pity..."
"He will die soon."
Liu Liang continued his words.
Zeng Xubai paused with his chopsticks in his hand. "How did you know?"
Few people in this world know that Mr. Huo is ill. He has rarely gone out in recent years, not because of anything else, but because he is indeed sick, and his illness is not mild. He has tried various methods, but all have little effect.
If he was not a member of the Zeng family, he would not have been unaware of this.
How did Liu Jing know this?
Liu Liang has been in the gambling stone industry for less than five years, and she has never learned these things. She obviously doesn't know Mr. Huo, and he remembers him very clearly. She has never said anything about Mr. Huo, and even Fang Yuan has never mentioned him.
So where did Liu Liang find out?
"I can tell."
Liu Liang didn't feel anything was wrong. "I studied medicine. I can tell if someone is sick by looking at the face."
"How many years have you studied?"
Zeng Xubai poked her face with chopsticks. Even for the best Chinese medicine doctor, it would take many years to learn something from the facial expression, not to mention that you studied Western medicine.
"But I can see it."
Liu Liang continued to eat fish. She could do it, and she didn’t need to prove it to others.
Zeng Xubai felt that Liu Jing was really right in her guess.
He sighed softly, but he didn't know what he was sighing about.
"Brother Zeng doesn't want him to die?"
Liu Liang could feel the pity and helplessness in Zeng Xubai's eyes, but life, death, sickness and death were common in this world, and it was the same for all living beings. Old Huo was not young anymore, and even if he died now, he would be considered to have lived to a ripe old age.
Compared to those who died young, he is much better.
"Mr. Huo's life is extremely important to the gambling stone industry."
Zeng Xubai put down his chopsticks and gently touched the top of his head. "You acted too impulsively today. You should know that if it weren't for Elder Huo coming here today, I don't know how this would have ended. Xie Ba's influence here is not as simple as you think."
"If Xie Ba hadn't been at fault first, even I wouldn't have been able to do anything to him."
Why did Liu Jing feel so scared after hearing this? But it wasn't her fault. It was Xie Ba who had set his sights on her and Zeng Xubai first. Otherwise, why would she go to their house to fight?
"But it's okay."
Zeng Xubai thought Liu Jing was scared, so he quickly touched her head to comfort her.
Mr. Huo will settle this matter. Even if Xie Ba really died, he deserved it.
"Is Mr. Huo really such a big shot?"
These words made Liu Liang feel like she owed that person something.
"Yes," Zeng Xubai nodded. "His greatness lies in his character and methods. When he was young, he was decisive and swift, and when he was old, he made many friends. He has many connections in the gambling stone circle. No matter whether they are in the white or black world, they all give him some face."
"With him around, the gambling stone world will be much more peaceful."
After hearing this, Liu Liang finally understood a little. If she wanted to survive in the gambling stone industry, she had to find a strong supporter, and the man named Huo was obviously the strongest supporter.
In the future, she could either buy the raw stone and carry it back to open it herself, or she could just not buy it. However, there was no fun in opening the stone by herself, and there was no excitement. Besides, even if she was willing, Zeng Xubai and Fang Yuan might not be.
So, it seems that Mr. Huo’s thighs can be hugged.
Liu Liang was eating the fish, feeling a little conflicted.
That person really won't live much longer.
"What if someone could save him?"
Liu Liang asked tentatively.
"If there really is someone who can save him, I think anyone who likes gambling on stones would want Mr. Huo to live a long and healthy life."
"He's not just a rule, he's a belief."
"Then beg me."
Liu Liang pointed at herself.
"What do you want me to do?"
Zeng Xubai still didn't quite understand what Liu Liang meant by these words.
"The person who can save him is me."
Liu Liang pointed at her nose again, looking at how reliable and serious she was.
"Don't make jokes like that again."
Zeng Xubai thought Liu Jing was joking with him.
"I can be saved."
Liu Jing propped up her face on the table. "It should be okay. Even if he can't live for twenty or thirty years, he'll be too old after all, and will become an old monster. But he can live five or six more years. If it's not an illness, but for other reasons, he may live longer. As for how long he will live, it depends on him."
She didn't have any elixir of immortality, but she shouldn't die so early.
Zeng Xubai slowly put down his chopsticks.
"Jingjing, no kidding."
“No.”
Liu Jing was obviously very serious. How could she joke about such a thing? Human life is at stake. Who would joke about it? Is she asking for a fight?
"Really?"
Zeng Xubai asked again.
"Really not."
Liu Jing sat up straight and put a lot of fish into her bowl. If you believe it, then believe it. If you don’t believe it, just pretend she didn’t say it. Although she lost a thigh to hug, she didn’t make a living by gambling on stones.
Not long after, Zeng Xubai brought Liu Liang to an ancient house. This was indeed a house, just like the houses in ancient times, built against the mountain and living by the water.
“Good feng shui!”
Liu Liang praised that with the current highly developed technology and increasingly serious pollution, one will definitely live several years longer than others in such a beautiful place with mountains and rivers.
Zeng Xubai gave his name, and soon someone came to open the door. When the heavy iron door opened, Liu Jing smelled the same plain smell. The inside was the same as her home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a century-old tree. The most surprising thing was that the tree split in the middle, and it seemed as if a new tree had grown in the middle, just like a family of three. The trunk was strong, and the crown extended for dozens of meters. The branches almost extended out of the gate, which showed how big the tree was.
