#324 - Forced denial
Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment.
It was one thing for those young men to use excessive language.
He didn't expect the middle-aged man from the Mei family to be so excessive in his words.
Living to this age, he was not as calm as that Young Master Mei.
He thought about it and felt relieved.
Everyone has a different personality, and some people are like that until they grow old.
Besides, the Mei family, as an original spirit art family, must be full of arrogance in their hearts, especially in terms of stone gambling.
Today, he cut out a flawless middle-grade spirit crystal stone, which probably stimulated that middle-aged man.
"I'm just afraid your teeth aren't good enough and you'll break them."
Jun Wuxie teased, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he raised the stone cutting knife and began to cut the stone.
The last piece of rough stone was relatively large, with a diameter of about one meter.
With the experience of cutting out spirit crystal stones.
He was almost eighty percent sure that he could cut out a spirit crystal stone from this rough stone.
The stone skin rustled and fell.
As the stone cutting knife continued to fall, the volume of the rough stone gradually became smaller, only the size of a washbasin.
Even now, there was still no sign of green.
"Boy, I said, if you can cut out a spirit crystal stone this time, I will swallow the stone skin of this rough stone in public!"
The middle-aged man crossed his arms and said with a sneer.
"You want to swallow stone skin that much?"
Jun Wuxie's stone cutting knife stopped in mid-air.
"Whether you swallow stone skin or not doesn't depend on your smooth talk, you have to cut out a spirit crystal stone. Wanting to rely on luck to continuously cut out spirit crystal stones can only be achieved in dreams. However, since I've said this, what if you can't cut it out?"
"Oh? Then what do you want?"
"If you can't cut it out, you will give me that flawless middle-grade spirit crystal stone just now. Accept the bet, do you dare?"
The middle-aged man was full of confidence, trying to provoke Jun Wuxie.
In his opinion, children's personalities are easily provoked.
If he could get that flawless middle-grade spirit crystal stone without paying any price, wouldn't that be wonderful?
"You really dare to think." Jun Wuxie laughed and said in a childish voice, "However, I just like how confident you are. I agree. Remember what you said, accept the bet, everyone has heard it, don't go back on your word if you lose!"
"What a joke!" The middle-aged man sneered, "How could someone from my dignified Mei family go back on their word if they lose! Stop talking nonsense, cut the stone quickly, there will be a time for you to cry."
The corner of Jun Wuxie's mouth curled into a strange arc, but his face was covered by a cloth, so the others couldn't see it.
He no longer wasted words with the middle-aged man from the Mei family, and the stone cutting knife in his hand quickly swung.
Layers of stone skin fell off.
Suddenly, with one cut, a bit of green appeared.
Instantly, everyone's pupils shrank.
"Impossible, could it be that his luck is so heaven-defying that he is really going to cut out a spirit crystal stone again?"
"What are you thinking? Seeing green doesn't necessarily mean you can cut out a spirit crystal stone. Out of ten rough stones that show green, it's lucky if one can cut out a spirit crystal stone."
People discussed like this, but their heartbeats were somewhat accelerating.
The middle-aged man from the Mei family sneered disdainfully, saying, "Cut it, it's just seeing green, what's so new about that? It's impossible for there to be a spirit crystal stone inside this rough stone, otherwise why would it show green so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
On the stone platform, the rough stone in front of that little brat was still nearly the size of a washbasin.
Now it's showing green. If there really is a spirit crystal stone inside, how big would that spirit crystal stone be? At least tens of pounds heavy.
Is this possible?
People who often frequent the stone gambling industry all know.
The highest that can come out of the rough stones in the Taigu Stone Workshop's intermediate stone selection area is a middle-grade spirit crystal stone, and the weight has never exceeded fifteen pounds.
Only rough stones selected in the advanced stone selection area have the possibility of cutting out higher grade or larger weight spirit crystal stones.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the moment the stone cutting knife fell, a piece of stone skin fell off, and at the same time, cracks covered the entire surface of the rough stone, and strands of tender green light bloomed from the cracks.
The crowd's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
The middle-aged man from the Mei family's lips trembled, and the muscles on his face twitched violently.
Even the corner of Young Master Mei's eye twitched non-stop.
The entire stone cutting site was silent, so quiet that a pin could be heard.
Everyone stared in shock at the green light blooming from the cracks in the rough stone on the stone cutting platform. Under the illumination of the light, people's pupils turned into a crystal clear green.
"This…"
The women of the Taigu Stone Workshop were all stunned, some not daring to believe the scene before them.
They are professional stone workshop operators with a long history, so their experience is naturally extremely rich.
The rough stones in the intermediate area were repeatedly selected by their original spirit masters, so how could they hide a rough stone that could cut out such a large middle-grade spirit crystal stone?
"This is impossible, impossible!"
Young Master Mei, in addition to being shocked, the elegance and refinement on his face disappeared, becoming somewhat gloomy!
Once is a coincidence, twice is still a coincidence, luck?
Can a person have such heaven-defying luck, picking out two such valuable rough stones from tens of thousands of rough stones?
He has been immersed in this art for more than ten years, and is now in his twenties, but he has only just advanced to become an intermediate original spirit master. The probability of identifying a rough stone is less than five out of ten, and the probability of identifying one that can cut out a middle-grade spirit crystal stone is less than one out of ten!
Now a ten-year-old brat has actually cut out two middle-grade spirit crystal stones in a row, one flawless grade, and one of astonishing weight!
He is actually inferior to a child, and is being compared to a child?
Thinking of this, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch twice.
"Damn it!"
The middle-aged man beside him who made the bet with Jun Wuxie was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He lost!
What to do now?
Could it be that he really has to eat stone skin in public?
"Let's go!"
Young Master Mei said in a low voice, turning around and leaving.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately followed him away.
Of course, he didn't want to eat stone skin in public, that was a kind of humiliation, not only would he lose face, but the entire Mei family would lose face.
"Wait!" Jun Wuxie teased, "What's wrong? Didn't you say accept the bet? Didn't you say that a dignified Mei family person would never go back on their word if they lost? So what are you doing now, trying to slip away?"
Hearing him say this, people came back to their senses from the shock, turned their heads to look, and couldn't help but reveal strange expressions on their faces.
The middle-aged man who made the bet was actually planning to leave with Young Master Mei.
"Boy, it was just a joke, how can you take it seriously?"
The middle-aged man said sternly.
"A joke? You said that if I lost, you wanted my flawless middle-grade spirit crystal stone, could that also be a joke?"
"Of course, how could someone from my dignified Mei family covet a mere pound of spirit crystal stone?" He said, pointing to the crowd, "Ask everyone present, would they believe that I would covet that little bit of spirit crystal stone, what else is it but a joke?"
People looked at each other, many not saying a word, but some people jumped out and said, "That's right, would the Mei family covet these things? Brat, do you think it's possible?"
"The Mei family's original spirit master was just joking with you, how could he really make a bet with a child like you!"
"Kid, you've gone too far, can't you hear a joke, you're really taking it too seriously, how rude!"
"You really like licking the Mei family's stinky feet?" Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the few people who spoke, "Among the people who said earlier that I could cut out a spirit crystal stone and would eat the stone skin, there are a few of you, right?"
"What do you mean? We said it was a joke, you're still bringing it up!"
"It's just a joke, it's useless for you to always use it as an excuse, see if we'll pay attention to you?"
"Boy, you're young and don't understand things, I won't argue with you, and I won't take your rudeness to heart."
The middle-aged man from the Mei family finished speaking, acting very generous, and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Jun Wuxie was really angry, he said he would accept the bet, but as a result, he forcibly went back on his word when he lost, this was too shameless.
He didn't intend to really make him swallow stone skin in public.
He just intended to mock him.
He didn't expect that the guy would just leave.
"Boy, what else is the matter?" The middle-aged man turned to look at Jun Wuxie, with one hand behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "You need to know that although I don't want to argue with you and keep tolerating you, my tolerance is limited!"
"Forcibly distorting right and wrong, reversing black and white, and now even threatening me, do you think I'm too young to deal with you?"
Jun Wuxie's eyes were very cold, and as he spoke, the stone cutting knife in his hand quickly swung, instantly peeling off all the broken stone skin.
Instantly, the tender green light illuminated the area within a dozen meters into a green world.
People's pupils shrank and their mouths widened!
That spirit crystal stone was larger than a person's head, conservatively estimated, it must weigh at least thirty pounds or more!
The crowd's eyes were fiery and their breathing was rapid.
The middle-aged man from the Mei family's eyes also became fiery.
His eyelids twitched, looking at Jun Wuxie and saying, "Boy, you want to deal with me? At such a young age, you're so arrogant, how do you want to deal with me?"
"Come over and swallow these stone skins!"
Jun Wuxie took the middle-grade spirit crystal stone in his hand and weighed it, estimating that it was around forty pounds.
He was very satisfied, he didn't expect to cut out a spirit crystal stone of this weight.
"I think you're asking for a lesson!" The middle-aged man sneered and walked towards the stone cutting platform, saying, "If you continue to pester me unreasonably, today I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."
"Humph, he's just asking for a lesson, I don't know whose family raised such a bear child. Mei family's original spirit master, you should teach him a good lesson and see if he dares to be so arrogant!"
Some people fanned the flames on the side, scolding Jun Wuxie.
