"Alright, Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will cut it carefully for you."
The stone cutter actually wanted to remind Lin Xiaotian that there was nothing inside this stone, but he saw Wu Yuxuan and Feng Cong watching from the side. If he reminded him, it would be considered cheating.
If Lin Xiaotian were not a distinguished guest of the Pavilion Master, he would never have paid attention to such a broken stone.
Buzz!
The stone cutting machine roared to life again!
As the machine's roar began to operate, the surrounding air was filled with stone dust.
Only a handful of spectators remained at the scene. Wu Yuxuan watched the stone being cut indifferently, feeling that this bet was a pity. If Master Ghost Eye had found even a sliver of green, this bet would have been won.
"Green! Green!"
The stone cutter had only been cutting for a dozen seconds before suddenly stopping and shouting excitedly to the people around him.
Whoosh!
The audience, who had already dispersed, heard the stone cutter's shouts and excitedly crowded back.
The moment everyone stopped and looked seriously at the stone, their eyes widened simultaneously, and they were dumbfounded.
"This is... Crystal Lantian Jade?"
"Impossible! This young man's stone actually yielded crystal-grade Lantian Jade? This kind of jade sells for more than imperial green and is an extremely rare treasure in existence."
"This young man is going to be rich! Looking at the cut, it seems like the entire stone is full of green."
Everyone was extremely excited and discussed heatedly.
Lin Xiaotian's face showed joy. He turned to look at Wu Yuxuan, who was now completely stunned.
"How is this possible? There's really jade in this stone. Am I hallucinating?"
Wu Yuxuan's legs felt weak, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Lin Xiaotian coughed twice, then said with a smile, "Young Master Wu, a bet is a bet. The result of our wager is out. Are you going to dig out your own eyes and cut off your tongue, or shall I do it for you?"
"That's right, Young Master Wu must honor his bet. We are all watching."
"Young Master Wu, hurry up and fulfill your promise. You can't go back on your word."
The people around also joined in the teasing, instantly pushing Wu Yuxuan to the edge of a cliff.
Wu Yuxuan was sweating profusely, surrounded by a crowd, and didn't know what to do.
Master Ghost Eye also looked ashamed. He thought this bet was a sure win, but he never expected to lose to this young man.
He didn't know that his loss today was entirely because Lin Xiaotian had played a trick on him.
With his skill, it was quite easy to pick a rough stone that could yield green from so many.
Therefore, for him to lose for sure, Lin Xiaotian had used a talisman to blind him before he started picking stones, making him unable to discern anything.
This way, Lin Xiaotian could easily win this bet!
"Young Master Wu, I apologize. I was blind just now and made a mistake. I will not charge you anything for helping you pick stones this time," Master Ghost Eye said apologetically as he walked up to Wu Yuxuan.
"You old fool, you still dare to call yourself Ghost Eye? You're a fraud!"
Wu Yuxuan was furious and raised his hand to slap Master Ghost Eye. This bet was made with Lin Xiaotian, but he was the one who suffered the loss.
After Wu Yuxuan vented his anger, Lin Xiaotian walked over to a distant place, picked up a knife, and threw it to the ground with a clang. He smiled and said, "Young Master Wu, you've had your outburst. It's time to fulfill your promise."
"I..."
Wu Yuxuan was speechless for a moment. His eyes darted around, and he quickly pleaded with Lin Xiaotian, "Brother Lin, I beg you to let me off. I can't live without my eyes and tongue. How about this, I'll give you two hundred million?"
"Please spare me. I was blind and didn't recognize your true worth earlier. I shouldn't have underestimated you. Now I know your capabilities, and I will never oppose you again."
"Oh? Young Master Wu is actually apologizing to me? Unfortunately, your sincerity is clearly not enough. I overheard you telling Young Master Feng beside you that I was bullying you and that you wanted him to get revenge for you. Could it be that he is the one you found to retaliate against me?"
Lin Xiaotian had already heard their whispered conversation before the stone gambling. It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiaotian had transferred the entire bet to Wu Yuxuan.
Wu Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Feng Cong beside him with trepidation, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Brother Lin, I didn't. You've misunderstood. How dare I disrespect you? I have no intention of dealing with you."
"What Young Master Feng and I were discussing was something else, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"Is that so? That would be for the best."
Seeing his fear, Lin Xiaotian almost couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, he still hadn't realized that he was planning to trick him.
A few seconds later, Lin Xiaotian looked at Feng Cong again and sighed, "Young Master Feng, you are truly pitiful to believe this treacherous villain Wu Yuxuan. He kept saying he would bring you to gamble on stones, but he only brought such an incompetent person."
"He clearly wants to pull a fast one on you. You didn't actually believe his nonsense, did you? You saw the skill of that Ghost Eye just now. He can't even compare to me, yet he dares to call himself Ghost Eye?"
"In fact, he never intended to bring you here to find precious jade. He just wanted to fool you. After you've helped him, he'll immediately turn his back on you. https:/"
Hearing Lin Xiaotian's words, Feng Cong looked back at Wu Yuxuan with a cold gaze and snorted, "Wu Yuxuan, you dare to play me? You're tired of living."
"Young Master Feng, don't listen to him. I didn't. How could I dare to deceive you? He's making it all up. I paid a high price to invite this Ghost Eye."
Wu Yuxuan's face turned pale with fear, and he quickly turned back to explain to Feng Cong.
Now, he had offended both sides and was squeezed in the middle, almost crushed into a meat patty.
To increase the pressure on him, Lin Xiaotian smiled again and said, "Young Master Feng, this guy has cheated people more than once or twice. He cheated me like this before. He promised to behave in the future, but he always reverts to his old ways."
"If you forgive him, he'll definitely trick you again."
"Wu Yuxuan, go to hell!"
Feng Cong was completely persuaded by Lin Xiaotian's words and threw a fierce punch at Wu Yuxuan.
With a boom.
Wu Yuxuan's body was sent flying four or five meters, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing his miserable state, Lin Xiaotian sneered, picked up the knife again, walked over, and handed it to Wu Yuxuan, saying, "Young Master Wu, you haven't fulfilled our bet yet. End it yourself!"
"Lin Xiaotian, I'm going to kill you!"
Wu Yuxuan was furious. He suddenly snatched the knife from his hand and ferociously stabbed at Lin Xiaotian!
