Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 474: Yield a Step

Wen Jian glared angrily, but Wufu stood her ground, causing everyone present to break out in cold sweat, and they all started to look at Wufu with mixed feelings.

"This little girl, she’s too bold. That’s the boss there, and she dares to go against his wishes."

"Third Old Master Wen, what’s the harm in taking a step back? If Thousand Treasures Tower wants it so badly, let them have it. Will Hundred Treasures Silver Building go bankrupt over a broken rock? Can’t afford to lose, can we?" Wufu said with a light smile.

Although she was smiling, her words were like a spring flowing into the hearts of everyone present.

Wen Jian’s fury seemed to be instantly extinguished, and in the midst of their back-and-forth, time passed, and Thousand Treasures Tower already obtained the stone.

Wufu released her grip, looked over, met Yu Zhen’s triumphant gaze, and smiled with a slight movement of her lips.

Yu Zhen’s smile froze for a moment.

What the hell?

Idiot!

Of course, he couldn’t fathom the two words that Wufu had just uttered because he had to go up on stage to cut the stone.

Wufu watched leisurely, her favorite pastime was watching people she disliked get frustrated.

Sure enough, Yu Zhen hurriedly cut the stone open, and just as Wufu had said, while there was jade inside, its quality was evident to the naked eye.

Yu Zhen’s face turned green instantly.

"Haha, excellent, brilliant," Wen Jian said, patting his thigh appreciatively. He was no fool; the quality of the jade was nowhere near worth the price they had paid.

There were offers to buy it, but all were lower than what Thousand Treasures Tower had offered; after all, the quality of the jade was clear, and if Thousand Treasures Tower sold, they would take a loss and be helping someone else. If they didn’t sell, it would just be an annoyance.

Yet Thousand Treasures Tower didn’t sell; what they would do with the jade was now their business.

If Wufu hadn’t stopped Wen Jian, the one embarrassed might have been Hundred Treasures Silver Building.

Several craftsmen glanced at Wufu, the look in their eyes hard to define.

Did she just fluke into it again?

Wen Jian gave Wufu a look but said nothing.

Wufu naturally didn’t take credit and continued to wait for the next piece of stone to appear. As for Yu Zhen, he went down looking utterly disheartened.

Someone looked over at Wufu, and she lifted her head to see it was Master Qu Liu, his gaze measuring and dark.

Wufu smiled and looked away.

Following that, there were more gains, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax, with Wufu going on stage several times, her views almost identical to those of the craftsmen.

She was somewhat bored.

"This comes from foreign countries..."

When Wufu heard the broker’s introduction, she looked up. Her gaze landed on the piece being weighed on the worker’s platform and flickered; she immediately sat up straight.

Ah Jiu had been watching her the whole time and, seeing her reaction, asked the broker by her side, "Tell me about this piece of seed material."

The broker named Zhong Zhi had been serving them for two days, always accompanying Ah Jiu in the private room. This noble, however, hadn’t made a move at all, hadn’t even inquired about the origin of any seed material, appearing wholly content to have bought a seat just to watch the excitement.

Today, he had thought it would be another day of mere companionship, but unexpectedly, the noble took the initiative to ask.

Zhong Zhi quickly flipped through the booklet, which had been prepared by the trading house. It contained information for every piece of seed material for viewers to consult, but it was generally limited to who owned the piece and from which place it came. The details, like the exact source, were not disclosed, because one of the gambling rules for stone wager is also about gambling on the source.

Once the source is revealed and experts know what to expect from that source, how can it still be called a gamble?
