Chapter 262: I'm here to keep my disciple company.
The man's face was ashen. Although he already knew the outcome, he still stubbornly cut off the remaining half of the raw stone.
The entire rough stone has been cut, and apart from the stone's own gray color, there are no other colors.
"Sigh..." The onlookers around sighed in unison.
This is incredibly bad luck!
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, turned around and walked to the table next to her. The young master standing in front of the table had already finished his work. Although it hadn't been polished yet, it was clearly a red attack gem, but the color was a bit light, so the quality probably wasn't particularly good.
After watching for a while, Ye Fei roughly understood how to open the stone. Li Yuan also paid the money, and several waiters worked hard to help move the raw stone.
Back on the second floor, Ye Fei saw Song Yu sitting by the window, gently sipping from a white jade teacup, exuding a tranquil and detached air.
Yan Ge puffed on her pipe, a wisp of smoke swirling around her. She glanced up and saw Ye Fei and the others approaching. She smiled charmingly, "Have you all picked them out? This batch of rough stones is quite fresh; maybe we can find something good inside."
Ye Fei recalled the pile of wooden crates downstairs that she had worn down to scrap material, nodded, and said with a meaningful look, "Then I'll accept your kind words, shopkeeper."
The word "sister" immediately made Yan Ge beam with joy: "You little girl have a sweet tongue, I like it!"
The waiter prepared the cutter and polishing tools and respectfully explained to everyone how to cut the stone.
"The blade of the cutter is very sharp, so please do not touch it with your hands. The blade is merciless and can easily cause injury."
"Every rough stone can yield a gem with excellent attributes. Wishing you all great luck!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he went downstairs and left. Xie Qin Gui stood in front of the cutter, eager to try, rubbing his hands excitedly, and looked at Ye Fei: "Xiao Fei, do you think I can get a gem?"
Ye Fei smiled silently and gestured for the boy to proceed.
Seeing that Song Yu remained seated without any intention of getting up to help, Yan Ge raised an eyebrow: "Master Song, are you just going to observe this time and not go and cut the stone?"
"Yes, I'm here to accompany my disciple," Song Yu said calmly.
Yan Ge narrowed her eyes as she looked at the group of young men and women in front of her: "A few years ago, I asked my nephew to become your disciple, but you refused. Now that we meet again, I find out that you have taken in so many disciples... Master Song, are you looking down on my Yan family?"
"Manager Yange, you misunderstand. I only brought one apprentice with me today. The other three are my apprentice's classmates and friends."
Song Yu put down his teacup, his calm gaze falling directly on Xie Qingui. "I have always been strict in accepting disciples. Perhaps Yange's nephew is more suited to be an excellent spiritual master than a weapon refiner."
"The younger generation has its own blessings; forcing it may not be a good thing."
Yan Ge gave a light snort, her clear voice tinged with displeasure: "So, your disciple is really quite capable, even more outstanding than my nephew?"
Song Yu curled his lips, a rare hint of arrogance appearing on his otherwise ordinary face: "My personal disciple is naturally more outstanding than anyone else."
Yan Ge looked disdainful. She wanted to see what kind of good gemstone Song Yu's precious disciple could find!
...
Xie Qin Gui prepared to open the stone.
It was his first time cutting stone, and his movements were a bit clumsy. He failed to cut it well several times, but after a few tries, he found the trick.
