“A real man’s word is his bond, no take-backs, okay?” Su Luo chuckled sinisterly.
"Fine, whoever goes back on their word is a puppy!"
A flash of cunning amusement crossed Su Luo's eyes. She smilingly opened the cotton bag and slowly fished out a green crystal stone, waving it triumphantly in front of Ling Feng. "Look, what a beautiful green crystal stone. And to think someone actually said they didn't want it."
That touch of verdant green was so vibrant it was almost blinding.
Ling Feng stared in astonishment at the crystal-clear green crystal stone in Su Luo's hand. The next moment, a flash of wild joy crossed his eyes. He snatched the green crystal stone away and exclaimed with uncontrollable delight, "It's real! It really is a green crystal stone!"
"See? You've admitted it yourself, haven't you? Tell me, Ling Feng, my servant, is it time for you to pour tea and water for your master now?" Su Luo sat leisurely on the stone bench in the courtyard, wearing a smile of a scheme successfully executed.
Ling Feng had always looked at her with disdain, but now, well, he had trapped himself with his own words.
A trace of embarrassment flickered across Ling Feng's cold face, but as a cold-hearted person, he was thick-skinned enough to ignore it. He automatically filtered out Su Luo's words and shouted at her, "Is there only one? Are there any more? Where did you pick this up?"
Su Luo just toyed with the cotton bag, saying nothing, only smiling.
Ling Feng was naturally a smart man; he snatched the cotton bag and immediately opened it to look inside.
With that one glance, he was instantly stunned silly!
"Ho, how is this possible! How could this ordinary cotton bag be filled with such priceless crystal stones?"
"Not just green crystal stones, there are actually cyan crystal stones too? No, no, no, that touch of deep blue… it couldn't be a blue crystal stone, could it?"
Ling Feng felt his entire brain was about to crash. He stood there foolishly, staring blankly at those peerlessly rare crystal stones, then foolishly raised his head to glare at Su Luo.
Such a cold and icy person couldn't even speak properly anymore. "Wh, where, where did these, these come from?"
From this, it was enough to see just how agitated he was.
Su Luo waved her hand very casually and glanced at him with calm composure, as if she didn't care at all. "Aren't they just a few broken stones? Look at you, how worked up have you gotten?"
"Bro, broken stones?!" Ling Feng's first reaction was to slice open this Su Family Fourth Young Miss's head to see what her brain was made of, to actually call these crystal stones broken stones!
"Aren't they?" Su Luo smiled in a very punchable way, a typical display of someone acting smug after getting a good deal.
"Do you know that the crystal stones here, put together, are enough to buy an entire city!" Ling Feng shouted at her excitedly. "Do you know what kind of manpower and resources Your Highness spent to find just one blue crystal stone, yet still couldn't find any, and you actually call it a broken stone! Do you know that just this one blue crystal stone is enough to start a war between many Schools? Do you know…"
"Stop—" Su Luo made a pause gesture. "I don't know anything, but the only thing I do know is that if you keep shouting like that, these crystal stones might not be safe anymore."
Instantly, Ling Feng's excitement came to an abrupt halt.
He took a deep breath to calm his overly agitated emotions, then, with trembling hands, counted the crystal stones in the cotton bag one by one.
After counting a full ten times, he finally confirmed: "One blue crystal stone is equivalent to twenty-five green crystal stones; three cyan crystal stones are equivalent to fifteen green crystal stones; and there are also five green crystal stones…"
