In this small space, with walls and no windows on all four sides, there was only a small wooden door that was usually opened. This was Xue Yang's little black room.

His work environment was several tens of levels lower than the artistic atmosphere around those sculptors. However, in this simple small dark room, there were many rare items that were passed down.

Xue Yang could not feel any life force from that young phoenix, so this sculpture was a complete failure.

When he said that, Song Yu purposely teased him a little, then inadvertently sat on the side of the red wooden chair.

Her body was very light. Even if she just sat there, no one would worry about her during the night.

But Xue Yang just laughed and took the opportunity to hug the Lady Boss's soft waist.

Compared to him, Song Yu didn't have much strength to begin with, so with a light pull, she didn't even have time to resist before she directly lay down on the ground in Xue Yang's embrace.

This thick chest made Song Yu feel warmth, and made her a little absent-minded. But then, Song Yu began to flutter around, trying to struggle free from Xue Yang's embrace.

However, under her powerless pouncing, Xue Yang hugged his arm even more tightly.

As though he knew that there was no hope for him to escape, Song Yu gave up struggling and could only allow his body to sink down slowly.

Just as Xue Yang was about to do something bad, an old man suddenly came in.

This grandpa really came at the right time!

Xue Yang complained, but he still had to let go of the Lady Boss because he still had to do business. Furthermore, being hugged by two people who were being watched by an old man still made him feel a little awkward.

After being released, the Lady Boss hurriedly tidied up her clothes and walked up …

At the counter, he didn't forget to turn his head and glare at Xue Yang.

However, Xue Yang continued to laugh mischievously, as if he had already forgotten what he had just done. He continued to drink from his cup of water and slowly savored the taste.

The old man that walked in didn't say what he wanted to buy when Song Yu asked him. When he looked around at the products displayed on the counter, he only nodded his head in satisfaction.

Could this old man be here to act cool? Xue Yang continued to drink his tea. He looked like he was looking at the scenery outside the glass wall, but the remaining corner was still the old man's body.

After circling around the shop twice, the old man finally spoke up. However, these words were not directed at Song Yu, but rather, directly facing Xue Yang who was sitting there drinking tea: "My name is Luo Tianqing, and I am also engaged in carving jade, and I did not come here to buy things, but to interact with you, young man. Actually, you can just call me Luo Lao."

The old man spoke with his head held high and his chest puffed up. Although this made his voice sound a bit louder, this attitude of visiting always made people feel like he was here to kick a restaurant.

"Oh, so it's Luo Lao. I've heard a lot about your reputation. Your declaration in Eastsea City is really big. I wonder what brings you here today?" Since the other party was coming for him, then Xue Yang could only stand up to welcome them.

After all, he had just said that in the traditional carving industry, there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He didn't know when he would meet a great god.

However, Xue Yang had never heard of the Luo Lao before.

But this was normal for Xue Yang, he had also received invitations from some of his peers, inviting him to participate in various competitions or exhibitions. However, Xue Yang had not finished his own work, so how could he possibly have the time to accompany them in the bullsh * t.

At this moment, there was actually someone from the same sect who came looking for him. He was giving them face.

"Since you have some understanding of my fame, I just don't know which one of my works you admire more. Although my masterpieces can be said to be innumerable, and my reputation doesn't only spread within this small Eastsea City, I am still willing to listen to the opinions of others, just in case it might be helpful to me."

The old man kept talking, as if he was afraid he would forget the details.

Xue Yang laughed awkwardly. Even though he was called fat, he was already panting like this.

However, since he had said that, he could only pretend to be a complete set now.

Xue Yang's face did not change at all as he said: "The Jade Buddha that you carved is really unique, it is way too good compared to the versions outside."

As long as it was something like carving jade, especially one like this old Jiang Hu, who had never carved a dozen or so Jade Buddha, so Xue Yang saying it was safer.

"Heh, you have quite the good eye, I also think that my Jade Buddha carving is of an exceptional standard, and the people outside would definitely want to give me the title of Luo Jade Buddha, but I am not such a flamboyant person, I did not accept that title."

The old man spoke with a beaming smile, but Xue Yang just laughed awkwardly. From the looks of it, this old man has not played around at all.

Just as Song Yu walked to the side of the old man, wanting to ask his purpose for coming here, the old man started talking again.

"Young man, others say that you are a genius in this aspect, but after looking at the things that you displayed just now, at most one or two of them were successful. As for the rest, they were all failures. Young man, you are still not good enough." The old man once again glanced at the surrounding jade carvings.

However, Song Yu merely smiled and said: "Old man, you may have misunderstood, but among all these things, it is not actually Xue Yang's doing. Every single carving, Xue Yang had only slightly moved it one or two times, so you did not understand the situation."

However, the old man was completely unwilling to admit his mistake: "Little lady, I understand all of this, but in order to ensure your shop's business, I have to brag about you, my friend. If not for the fact that the Huang Family is bragging about you, and Bai Yusheng was bragging about himself, how could a little sculptor like you be bragged about to such an extent, your words are just a scam to deceive the people outside, but this old man has my eyes, I understand."

As he said till here, Luo Tianqing glanced in Xue Yang's direction, but within that glance, there was an extra hint of disdain.

Since you are so shameless as to be shameless to this extent, then why do I care?

Where should I go?

After saying these words, Xue Yang was about to turn around and return to his chair to drink his tea, but the old man immediately stopped him.

"Wait!" Are you going to chase me away like this? All the other young men have seen Ben the Carver and listened to my teachings, but you, boy, have been disrespectful to me. "

"This is disrespectful, Luo Lao. That is the word used by the emperor, right? It's not that I am disrespectful to you, but our shop is about to close for real." Xue Yang was about to continue, but who knew that this old man would actually hit the glass counter heavily.

Judging from his strength, he really wanted to smash the glass counter into pieces. However, he was already an old man, where did he get the strength from?

Luo Tianqing began to shout loudly, "Today, this old man will kill your spirit. May I ask if you are here for a written test? This old man will let you see what a true expert is, a heaven above the heavens."

At this time, even Song Yu had come to urge this old man to return quickly.

If the things that Xue Yang had carved could be said to be another witness, then he must be Song Yu. Therefore, Song Yu was very clear on what realm Xue Yang's strength had reached.

From the living regal green glass, to the opposing skull base on the lotus, to the most unremarkable white jade rose with a fragrance, it all proved that Xue Yang was a genius that only appeared once every hundred years, even at his peak, he could not be compared on the same level as the current Xue Yang.

Song Yu believed that there would be someone stronger than Xue Yang, but it should not be the old man in front of him.

So Song Yu said all this for the benefit of the elderly.

But who would have known that not only did the Luo Lao not appreciate his kindness, he even treated Song Yu's concern as contempt? "You two arrogant youngsters, don't you know that the great man once said that the truth is stronger than eloquence?"

Xue Yang turned his head, and asked at a loss: "Which great man?"

"Which great man did you ask? Did this have to happen? Just based on your words alone, I think you have no real skill at all, and would not even dare to compete with me! " Luo Lao was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Xue Yang was speechless.

Song Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Xue Yang could only smile and say: "Alright old sir, then I will listen to you, we will have a simple competition."

After Xue Yang whispered to himself, Song Yu immediately took back the two jade plates that were practically identical.

Xue Yang immediately pushed the two ordinary quality jade stones to Luo Lao and said: "Luo Lao, you can pick one first, did you carry your blade with you?"

With that, Luo Lao took out a more conventional carving knife. It was not a set, it was only a set.

Xue Yang also took out a relatively common carving knife. It was not a carving knife left behind by Song Yu's father, as using that kind of important thing on it was simply a waste.

"Luo Lao, what are you preparing to carve?"

"Do you still need to ask? Carve the Jade Buddha!"
