Chapter 234: Chapter 178: Stone Gambling_3

They had been friends for several decades, but it was the first time he had seen Elder Hou bring such a young girl over.

Elder Hou gave a secretive smile, yet he did not share the reason with Old Man Mu, which made Old Man Mu glare at Elder Hou.

"Qin Qin, this is one of my oldest friends and also the owner of this Jade Destiny, you can call him Grandpa Mu, and if there is anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask him," Elder Hou introduced to the girl beside him.

Qin Qin nodded and lifted up a beautiful smile, "Grandpa Mu, it’s a pleasure to meet you, my name is Qin Qin."

Old Man Mu smiled warmly towards Qin Qin, "Pleased to meet you, Qin Qin."

"Qin Qin wants to buy a piece of jade but she’s curious about stone gambling, why don’t you explain it to her?"

Old Man Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at Qin Qin, "You’re interested in stone gambling?"

"Kind of, just curious. Please enlighten me, Grandpa Mu."

Old Man Mu nodded in agreement and explained stone gambling to Qin Qin.

Qin Qin listened attentively and only then she realized that these beautiful pieces of jade were cut out from these stones.

Qin Qin’s gaze shifted toward a pile of rocks not far away, large and small, and due to their sizes, their prices all differed.

This stone gambling was quite peculiar, it was hard to imagine such ugly rocks containing exquisitely beautiful jade that could astonish people.

Those familiar with Elder Hou approached him to chat when they saw him; Qin Qin greeted Elder Hou and walked towards the racks piled with stones. People around her cast glances, seeming to wonder how such a young girl had come to this place.

About ten people by the racks, holding their tools, carefully examined the rocks, discussing among themselves from time to time.

"This rock of mine is likely to yield jade."

"My stone is likely to reveal green. Look how lovely these surface patterns are, so clear."

"That’s just surface green; what’s so good about it? My stone is the better one."

Qin Qin watched the intense discussion between the two beside her. She stood quietly, her eyes tinged with purple as she looked at the stones in their hands. Even without her ghost eyes, she was very sensitive to Spiritual Energy. Clearly, there was no Spiritual Energy present in the two men’s stones. When she used her ghost eyes, one of the stones showed no hint of green at all, and the other was just surface green, also a waste stone.

The two nearby were arguing heatedly, but upon noticing Qin Qin standing beside them, they waved dismissively at her, "What is a little girl doing here? Can you even understand?"

"Yeah, off you go."

Qin Qin glanced at the two men with an indifferent look, "Is it interesting to argue over two waste stones here?"

After speaking, Qin Qin didn’t pay any more attention to the two men and walked away. The men behind her called out angrily, "What do you know, just a kid; you better go back to your parents."

As Qin Qin slowly scanned the rack, she indeed spotted several pieces with Spiritual Energy, but it was faint, indicating that the jade inside wasn’t of good quality and didn’t match what she was looking for.

Then Qin Qin headed towards a big pile of stones stacked on the ground. Old Man Mu saw her and smiled, "Qin Qin, that pile is all waste, with a low chance of finding green. If you want to pick, choose from the rack. Grandpa Mu will give you a discount."

"No need, Grandpa Mu, I’ll just take a look first." She refused Grandpa Mu’s kind offer with a smile and continued to look at the pile of stones tossed on the ground. She sensed a very rich and comforting aura, indicating that among these waste stones, there must be some good jade, sadly misplaced here.

Seeing Qin Qin insist, Old Man Mu didn’t say much further; after all, she was just looking at a pile of waste stones, the prices weren’t high - let her be.

Qin Qin approached the heap of waste stones; only one man was there, bent over and selecting seriously. The man looked up at Qin Qin with a defeated look and stubble across his face, slightly surprised, then averted his gaze.

Qin Qin stared at the man. His face had obvious dark marks; not a sign of filth, but bad luck, indicating that he had been very unfortunate lately.

"Young lady, if you want to pick stones, you’d better go over there. Actually, these are all waste rocks and are unlikely to reveal green," the man said without raising his head when he saw that Qin Qin hadn’t left, busying himself with a stone in his hand. Several stones were already selected beside him, and he seemed hesitant, touching his pocket before putting down a few stones again.

Qin Qin slightly lowered her gaze, looking at the man. She could tell the man meant well by what he said. She observed him and saw that despite his down-and-out appearance, he had a decent aura. His clothes were somewhat old, but they were washed clean without any wrinkles, showing he was a rather meticulous man.
