178 Cutting Phase (1/2)
”Is that what you chose?” Lang Zing laughed in disdain and said, ”And here I thought, you are really something. Seems like you're just all talk, huh?”
The people around laughed hard in mockery and whispers could be heard everywhere. All eyes were set upon Jin Rou and he was already being mocked to the utmost degree. Zin Shi was already worried as her face turned pale. It was as if she wanted to bury herself in a hole if there was one possible around. However, how could she leave Jin Rou? All she could do was trust Jin Rou and let things be.
”Just to remind you, ignorant fool. That stone was already examined by all master appraisers here, and they deemed it as worthless. How could you do a dumb mistake?” Lang Zing could not help but laugh hard in euphoria. This time, he could feel that the Heavens was helping him bring retribution to this ignorant and arrogant country bumpkin.
However, Jin Rou finally broke his silence and said, ”I don't need your advice. I chose this stone because this is the best tone in all of the scrap stones out here.”
”Hahahahahahaha!” Lang Zing, as long as everyone even Staff Li, laughed hard as if they heard the funniest joke ever existed in Grivexia.
”This young man...” However, while they were laughing hard, Owner Bu's body trembled as he realized something, ”Impossible... This is not possible.”
”You are really a funny man, aren't you?” Lang Zing laughed hard again, with words full of mockery and said, ”Since you made me laugh, I won't mind forgiving you for the audacity you showed back then.”
He paused for a moment and looked at Jin Rou, full of pride and said, ”How about being my servant? I can personally pay you well as I have a lot of allowances. Not to mention, my family possesses a golden card like this lady beside you.”
”Did you talk enough now?” Jin Rou said with an indifferent expression.
”What?” Lang Zing was surprised. How could this ignorant bumpkin still have the audacity to say such, ”Are you really going to oppose me? Even I am a kid, my sect could turn over any powers herein Grivexia!”
”Oh, really?” Jin Rou said, ”I don't care if your sect is powerful or not, as long as you don't anger and keep offending me, I won't mind letting you off. I don't care if you are a precious young master of that sect. In my eyes, all of you are equal, worthless.”
”Say that again, bastard!” Lang Zing's veins bulged in infuriation. Jin Rou had hit a very sore spot in him. After all, as a loved youngmaster of the sect, he was very proud of it and never did someone who opposed them had survived.
He glared daggers to Jin Rou and said, ”You have said something you should not have said. How about—”
”Alright alright, since everyone has their own choices of stones already, how about we start cutting the scrap stones of your choice?” Owner Bu interrupted as he could tell that the argument between Jin Rou and Lang Zing was getting worse. And he was also trying to sell Jin Rou a favor, and he knew that Jin Rou had noticed this.
