Chapter 33 - Stepping Stone! (2/2)

However, Ji Fengyan placed the unnoticeable stone on the table without minding everyone’s reactions and clapped her small hands, “I choose this!”

“Pu!” within the quiet store, a wave of mocking laughter suddenly bursted out. Everyone was convulsing with laughter and looked at Ji Fengyan with contempt.

Even the store owner’s mouth was also twitching, even if he was dead, he could also not believe that Ji Fengyan had chosen that broken stone that he had used as a stepping stone for his table.

That piece of stone was left behind from grinding a natural stone a few years back. That piece of natural stone contained a decent ore at that time whereas this remaining stone was conveniently used by the store owner to fill the table’s gap.

Each piece of natural stone could be opened to give only at most one piece of ore. This piece chosen by Ji Fengyan, was not a rare ore and may not even contain an ordinary iron ore!

But the store owner did not intend to tell Ji Fengyan this, and pretended to be generous, “Sure, I will only charge you five silver coins for this stone and another 10 silver coins for opening it!”

Ji Fengyan did not say anything and immediately threw a gold coin beside the store owner’s feet, “keep the change.”

The store owner’s mouth jerked even more vigorously.

What a stupid brat, he thought, and already imagined how she would die later on.

The store owner touched his face and immediately changed to an eager expression to serve Su Lingsheng.

Su Lingsheng glanced at the stone that Ji Fengyan had chosen. Based on her sensitivity towards ores, she could not detect any signs from that stone. Also, from the look that the store owner secretly gave her, she immediately understood and a mocking smile flashed across her face.

A country b.u.mpkin was indeed a country b.u.mpkin.

Right after, with the company of the store owner, Su Lingsheng chose another palm-sized big natural stone from the store. When the two pieces of stone were presented on the table, Ji Fengyan’s stone looked miserably small and could basically be ignored compared to Su Lingsheng’s stone.
