Chapter 263: If You're Going to Gamble, Bet Bigger!
The raw stone has been cut into more than half of its original size, and not a trace of color can be seen.
Xie Qingui gave up. He sighed, shook his head, and said to himself with a self-deprecating laugh, "Looks like my good start isn't going to be very successful."
Ye Fei patted his shoulder: "It's all about luck, just think about it positively."
Xie Qingui smiled and nodded upon hearing this, "That makes sense."
He then opened up all the rough stones that he and Yun Fusang had selected together, but they were all waste.
Yan Ge glanced at Song Yu with a mocking expression, clicking her tongue and saying, "Master Song, your disciple's luck isn't so good either!"
As if he had expected this, Song Yu calmly took a sip of tea and said, "If it were that easy to cut out inlaid gemstones, your Jubaolou would probably have been operating at a loss long ago."
Yan Ge was so angry that she almost broke the long pipe in her hand: "...Master Song, you don't need to say things that make people uncomfortable!"
Song Yu retorted slowly and deliberately: "What you say is absolutely right, but as the saying goes, an eye for an eye. I, Song, have only done what you just did to me... that's all."
As Song Yu and Yan Ge glared at each other, Xie Qingui stepped aside: "This gem is not meant for me. Xiao Fei, why don't you give it a try?"
Ye Fei was quite looking forward to seeing what kind of beneficial attributes the gems inside the three rough stones would possess. She calmly stood in front of the cutter and began to work.
Yan Ge toyed with her pipe, her gaze fixed on Ye Fei's slender figure. After a while, she raised her red lips and said, "Master Song, how about we make a bet?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yu raised an eyebrow: "A bet?"
"Although this is my first time meeting this little girl, I have a vague feeling that she has an extraordinary power... How about we bet on whether this girl can find a gem?"
Song Yu turned to look at Ye Fei, his gaze becoming somewhat deep.
This little girl named Ye Fei is Lord Dongfang's beloved disciple.
The surname Ye can only be associated with her connection to the Ye family, one of the eight great clans.
Although the Ye family held a significant position in Lingyun Kingdom, he had never heard of any exceptionally talented geniuses emerging from the Ye family in this generation.
This Ye Fei, whether in her demeanor or her speech, possesses an aura that is unmatched by her peers.
Qin Gui personally told him that Ye Fei had requested Lord Dongfang to prepare a weapon for each of her teammates in her training squad. Although the weapon was small and exquisite, it was very powerful, and a reclusive master like Lord Dongfang would certainly not give such a weapon away to others.
To his surprise, His Excellency Dongfang actually agreed.
It's not hard to guess that Ye Fei had discussed something with her mentor beforehand, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed so readily.
By gifting the team members a weapon personally designed by her mentor, Ye Fei demonstrates her complete trust in her teammates and treats them with the sincerity of family. At such a young age, she possesses such a mindset, and she is destined for great things in the future.
Song Yu thought for a moment, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "This bet is meaningless. If we're going to bet, let's bet bigger."
Yan Ge was a little surprised, but being straightforward, she readily agreed: "Okay, how do you want to bet?"
“Let’s bet on how many gems this little girl can find.” Song Yu smiled, his eyes crinkling. As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and tossed it to Yan Ge: “This is my bet.”
Yan Ge raised her slender two fingers and steadily caught the thing Song Yu threw at her. Her phoenix eyes were slightly lowered as she stared at the thing in her hand. She smiled and said, "The Ink Feather Token of Broken Yue Tower? Song Yu, you've been quiet all along, but now you've made a name for yourself. You even used the Ink Feather Token as a wager... What, is this girl your illegitimate daughter?"
