Chapter 158 - Breakthrough Part 4

The first raw stone Su Lin had selected was a medium-sized ball of rock. It had a coarse texture and a very grainy exterior.

There absolutely seemed to be nothing special about this random chunk of rock. No green spots, no black spots, and nothing out of the ordinary.

But, just when the crowd was about to let out a huge sigh of sympathy, for the poor ignorant woman who went up against a monster like Grandpa Su, faint traces of translucent green started surfacing.

The gem cutter gasped and fervently started opening up the chunk of rock, more attentively and cautiously than before.

And just like that, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, something completely unexpected and mindblowing happened.

Even Grandpa Su couldn't help but stand up from his chair and gawk in surprise.

As the small pieces of dust and sand crumbled away, a vibrant transparent emerald green surfaced, with a perfect and pure penetrating hue.

Yes, without a doubt this was the green that commanded millions of yuan in the marketplace, the imperial jade!

What the hell was happening here? Every single person in the crowd was dumbfounded.

That experienced elder carefully picking a rock and revealing a pure chunk of Imperial jade was one thing, but this random woman also picked a rock and revealed a pure chunk of Imperial jade??

Mama Meng was completely flabbergasted. Even Shi Meng was shocked.

The stall keeper was insanely elated. This random lady was his goddess of luck!

Not only did she select his store to pick a battle with the elder, but she also chose a good stone, bringing fame and name to his small shop!

"Must be a fluke." Someone immediately shouted.

"Definitely. Even lightning can strike a person sometimes!" Someone else agreed.

"How can this cheap sŀut continuously be so lucky..." Mama Meng cursed under her breath, while still maintaining a smiling face. 

However, Su Lin only silently smirked.

Wasn't this an obvious result? Was it really necessary to be this shocked??

How can someone with the power of foundation realm cultivation not even be able to pick out some useless precious stones present amidst the dull rocks?

Moreover, Su Lin herself was pretty fond of these sorts of shiny and sparkly pieces of jewelry.

So right from the beginning, Grandpa Su and his motley group had inadvertently just danced to the tune Su Lin had casually composed.

Ignoring the commotion roaring around her, Su Lin's gaze now shifted to the neighboring gem cutter who was working on her second rock.

A few seconds passed... then a couple of minutes passed...

And underneath it, a pure transparent transcendental shade of green was revealed.

The mesmerizing chunk of jade was obnoxiously staring at everyone, outrageously claiming its undeniable superiority just like the person it belonged to.

This time around, not even a single gasp could be heard. The entire crowd was literally dumbfounded. There was absolute pin-drop silence.

Even Ah Min, Su Lin's personal ȧssistant stood frozen in her steps.

The stallkeeper grinned from cheek to cheek. This was his day!! His shop was going to famous!

Another chunk of the rare precious Imperial jade?? Wait, was it even rare anymore?

Why did it suddenly seem like the precious Imperial jade could even be found in some random rock on the roadside?

Amidst the deafening silence, Su Lin didn't forget to turn around and give Grandpa Su a very cute and lovable wink. "It looks like I win after all."

The poor old man had a horrendous expression on his face. Veins on his forehead were bulging with anger. His eyes stared at the disgusting woman in front of him with utter disbelief.

"This woman must have definitely cheated." The loud-mouthed woman instantly blurted out without any forethought.

Several gasps sounded, as people in the crowd also acknowledged her reasoning.

How else would someone be able to achieve a near 100% success rate in precious stone gambling?!

Of course, using the age-old method - cheating and match-fixing!!

Immediately someone else suggested, "We should get the gem cutters to open up the other raw materials as well."

"If everything has Imperial Jade chunks inside, then even someone as shameless as she can't deny the obvious cheating!"

The stall keeper who was silent till now finally spoke up in despair!

"What cheating? What match-fixing? Our Ma family is a very honest family. Please don't go smearing shit on our name, just because of some lousy bet."

Oops. He immediately quieted down, realizing he had spoken one too many words in anger.

These were all outstanding families in the country. He can't afford to even anger them in the slightest.

So he hastily corrected his attitude and apologized.

"Sorry Master. Our family has been doing this business for generations. I ȧssure you, I have never before met this woman in my entire life." He pleaded in a humble tone.

Grandpa Su finally recovered from his shock and nodded in silence. Why did every single thing ȧssociated with this woman always end so miserably?

"Fine. I don't want to bicker with someone who would resort to these sorts of underhanded methods. Consider it as you have won the bet. Let's end this unsightly issue right here."

Scoffing angrily, Granpa Su retrieved his condescending glance and started walking out of the place.

He had already wasted too much time on this stupidity! He should have known that something like this would happen right from the beginning!

A snake will always be a snake. Why would she suddenly respect this sort of traditional and ancient art form? Of course, the lying bitch will cheat.

But... I was the one who suggested this wager? His mind ever so slightly pondered as he walked away from the crowd.

Before he could take another step, Su Lin's crisp voice sounded in his ears.

"Running away so soon, Grandpa?"
