Chapter 469
Chenxiang, puzzled, looked at Xue Jing.
Could it be that Xue Jing understood stone gambling?
Xue Jing focused on his breathing, uninvolved and unaffected.
He had only followed his Master’s command to fetch a stone back…
Dongfang Lan, Xuanyuan Che, and Lin Yan were utterly shocked.
They had never anticipated such an outcome…
Mo Jiuli glanced at the three dazed men and then turned and left without a further word…
By the time Dongfang Lan and the others snapped back to reality, they realized that Mo Jiuli and her company had already left.
When they rushed outside, they couldn’t catch even a glimpse of Mo Jiuli and the others…
“Che, what exactly is going on with that Madam and her companions?” Dongfang Lan asked his good friend, feeling rather downcast.
“How would I know?
But one thing’s for sure, they’re no ordinary people!” Xuanyuan Che said sympathetically to his friend.
At the same time, he was immensely curious about Mo Jiuli and her companions.
Who were they to have such remarkable discernment…
At that moment, Lin Yan walked in with a crestfallen look.
Glancing at Dongfang Lan, he said, “Second Young Master, I am not a qualified Treasure Appraiser.
I’ve mistaken the pearl in the dust time and again!
Thus, I’ve decided to leave Jinghua Building to further my studies in hopes that the Second Young Master will grant me this.”
“Mr.
Lin, this isn’t your fault.
After all, one can’t see what’s inside a rough stone.
This matter isn’t related to you, so you shouldn’t blame yourself,” Dongfang Lan said.
Lin Yan had been an elder in Jinghua Building for a hundred years; they all knew what kind of person he was.
If he had identified the Ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stones, he would have never placed those two raw stones on the third floor…
“But…” Lin Yan still felt powerless, unable to finish.
If it had been just one Ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone, it would have been bearable, but to have uncovered two in succession was a huge blow to Lin Yan.
“Mr.
Lin, don’t take it to heart.
If it really bothers you, I will have someone disguise themselves and buy all the raw stones from our third floor.
Then we can open them one by one and see how much the gems inside differ from the marked prices.
If all are mistakes, then I will let you leave, how does that sound?” Seeing Lin Yan looking so defeated, Dongfang Lan suggested after some thought.
In part, he also wanted to see for himself whether there was an issue with the raw stones this time that even Mr.
Lin could not identify correctly.
Hearing this, Lin Yan hesitated; he knew Dongfang Lan didn’t want him to leave.
Hearing Dongfang Lan’s proposal, he too wanted to see whether it was a problem with his appraisal abilities or simply an anomaly…
After hesitating slightly, Lin Yan nodded and said, “All right, then I’ll follow the Second Young Master’s decision.”
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Lan glanced at his good friend Xuanyuan Che, who asked exasperatedly, “You’re not suggesting I go and buy them, are you?”
“Who else but you?
Naturally, you’re the most suitable candidate as the affluent Young Master of the Xuanyuan Family!
Besides, you were present today anyway!” Dongfang Lan replied, somewhat irritated.
“Fine, you’ve got me!” Xuanyuan Che said, exasperated.
Had he not seen his friend so downcast today, he wouldn’t have bothered at all.
As a result, it wasn’t long before a piece of news spread throughout Jinghua City.
It was rumored that after a mysterious lady found an Ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone at the Stone Gambling Convention in Jinghua Building, the Young Master of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Che, in a fit of rage, bought up all the remaining raw stones on the third floor.
He opened the stones on the spot, only to find that they fell far short of expectations, almost causing him a financial loss…
