Chapter 583: Cutting The Ancient Stones

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The ancient stone that impressed the young woman with the surname Li and the other important people was a stone in which there was an old man’s head.

Xu Que was sure that the old man’s head was nothing special. But, still—after all these years, it was strange that it was still intact. If it weren’t for the young woman and the others, Xu Que would have happily bought and carefully examined it.

But when the young woman wanted to buy it with 20,000 Spiritual Stones of high quality, Xu Que immediately lost interest.

“Buying an dead old man’s head with 20,000 high quality Spiritual Stones? I’m not stupid!” Xu Que joked.

Hearing this, people got curious and frowned.

What was he saying just now? Was he cursing or something? The young woman Li sneered.

“You know nothing about stone-cutting. You’re just a fool and you have no right to judge.”

“You’ll see who the stupid one is when you cut the stone apart.” Xu Que laughed, walking back to the pavilion with eleven ancient stones.

There were only twenty-two stones with treasures. Apart from the one bought by the young woman with the surname Li, Xu Que had gotten all of them—he had twenty-one stones.

The young woman was furious. “Give me my jade knife!” she said. “I’ll show him what stone-cutting is!”

Xu Que paid no attention to her. He took out his X-ray machine and began to examine the stones.

Liu Jingning smiled and came to his side.

“Little Que Que, I am so glad that you were not impetuous and impulsive earlier. Still, I don’t think you should waste your money buying stones. After all, you haven’t been very lucky lately. I doubt you’ll find good stuff in the stones.”

Xu Que shrugged. “Don’t worry, I will!” he said with a smile.

Liu Jingning smiled as well. “If you’re so sure, then cut one apart.”

“If I find some treasures, I think you should at least give me some reward, right?”

Liu Jingning got close to Xu Que and gently whispered, “Little man, tell me, what do you want?”

“You are standing too close.” Xu Que backed away and spoke coldly. “I know we are already quite familiar with each other, but you are a woman, and I am a man. We should behave ourselves.”

He already knew what kind of a woman Liu Jingning was: a woman who dared to flirt with a man, but never dared to have sex with him.

Liu Jingning was surprised to see Xu Que back off. Her eyes widened.

D*mn! I really want to punch him in the face. Liu Jingning was so angry she almost wanted to bite him.

Xu Que sent her a voice message. “I was only joking. If I find some treasures inside the stones, you have to tell me where Hong Yan is.”

“I can’t!” Liu Jingning instantly refused.

“Fine! Without your help, I can still discover her whereabouts!”

Right at the moment, in the center of the yard, many influential men bid the price for a few beautiful ancient stones.

Among the stones, there was one that was as tall as grown man’s upper body, and the price had already gone up to 100,000 high quality Spiritual Stones. People wanted it because they thought something good was inside. There was also a round stone, and the price of it had gone up to 60,000 high quality Spiritual Stones, and people wanted it because of the pattern on the stone.

As for Xu Que, he did not think there was anything special about the pattern; he thought the stone might have been stepped on by some holy beasts and that was why it gave out powerful energy from time to time.

“Look!” a young elite exclaimed. “Elder Zhang from the Heaven Secret Pavilion is about to cut a stone.”

Elder Zhang had bought an ancient stone with 6,000 Spiritual Stones and was about to cut it. Everyone present watched because, after all, people from the Heaven Secret Pavilion always had good luck. They were famous for being good at divination and could even predict what would happen in the future and in one’s life. They always found something nice cutting stones.

Xu Que was also initially interested in the stone, but when he took a closer look he instantly shook his head. “It is definitely a piece of crap!”

No one paid attention to Xu Que’s comment.

With everyone looking, Elder Zhang cut a layer of stone off with his jade knife. Inside, there was nothing but stone, which was not good news at all.

Seeing this, people shook their heads. Even Elder Zhang himself frowned with a bit of disappointment.

He did not say anything and continued to cut the stone. The stone was eventually cut into two halves and nothing was found.

“It seems that today is not a good day for me.” Elder Zhang sighed and gazed at the sky. He performed a divination and his face grew rather dark.

Meanwhile, the young woman with the surname Li was also about to cut the stone she bought. Everyone, including the powerful men from the Jiang and Gong families, all stared in her direction.

Earlier, Xu Que had said there was a dead man’s head inside. No one had really paid attention to his words and thought he simply disliked that stone. In fact, most of the people thought this stone appeared to be a good one.

The young woman quickly cut a layer of stone off.

Bang!

A creepy cold air suddenly erupted from the stone . . .

The water in the lake started to freeze; it was as tranquil as a mirror, and even though the wind blew not even a single ripple formed on the surface.

Seeing this, everyone all got rather excited.

“Can it be possible that there is a piece of Supreme Yin Chilly Jade inside the stone?”

“I knew she would find something good inside. After all, she comes from the Li Family!”

“If the thing inside really is the Supreme Yin Chilly Jade, she is going to make a fortune from it.”

Some people got quite jealous.

The young woman suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Que.

“So, you still think the thing inside is just a dead man’s head?”

“Sorry?” Xu Que suddenly asked, his face serious. “The thing inside is a old man’s head, with his hair and beard gone white. It’s intact and rather creepy. Everyone, I suggest you all stay away from her. I’m afraid the old man’s head inside the stone will come back alive and f*ck with her later . . . ”

“You’re talking nonsense!” the young woman sneered. “I said that a man like you should have never been allowed to get in here in the first place! Now, let me show you what is really inside! Open!”

She cut the stone in two halves . . .

Everyone was hit with an extreme gust of cold.

The next minute, a old man’s head rolled out.
