Chapter 235: Petrified on the Spot (8)

Old Master Liu had been stuck at the sixth rank for many years, so he was exactly in need of crystal stones. This cyan crystal stone was highly likely to lend him a hand and help him reach the seventh rank in one go. At that time, the entire Liu Manor would leap to become the number one noble family in the Imperial Capital, and he, Liu Chengfeng, would be the primary contributor!

So, compared to the future of the Liu family, what did a mere hundred thousand gold count for? Liu Chengfeng thought arrogantly.

"One hundred thousand gold, huh…" Su Luo tapped her chin with her index finger, her expression appearing somewhat troubled. "Young Master Liu, you know, This Young Lady has always disliked selling crystal stones…"

The implication was that she didn't even care for this hundred thousand gold?

Liu Chengfeng's expression stiffened, a trace of gloom flashing in the depths of his eyes.

However, before he could shout in anger, Su Luo had already changed her tone. "But Young Master Liu's price has convinced me. I'll transfer it to you for a hundred thousand gold then."

Liu Chengfeng smiled very smugly.

He had thought she was some kind of unyielding Stinky Girl, but it turned out the previous price just wasn't high enough to move her. As expected, everything in the world has a price and can be bought with money.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, after the Second Young Master Liu paid the hundred thousand gold, that raw stone belonged to him.

Today, Liu Chengfeng could be said to have spent a fortune.

First, he was swindled out of a cyan crystal stone with a hint of green by Su Luo, then he was scammed out of a thousand gold coins by her. Afterward, he spent nearly fifty thousand gold to snatch Su Luo's raw stone, and now, it was a full hundred thousand gold.

In a single day, Liu Chengfeng had spent almost the entire annual income of the Prime Minister Liu's Manor; it truly was spending money like water. However, for this sum of money, Liu Chengfeng felt it was well worth it at this moment.

So, what kind of return did he get?

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng was squatting on the ground, joyfully looking at this refreshing cyan crystal stone. His mind was filled with fantasies of the admiration from those around him and Old Master Liu's gratified smile when he carried the cyan crystal stone back to the manor.

As he thought happily, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

The people around him were getting a bit impatient, and some of the hot-tempered ones urged loudly, "This Second Young Master Liu hasn't gone crazy with joy, has he? The crystal stone hasn't even been fully cut out yet. Who knows if it's really a cyan crystal stone underneath?"

"Exactly, Second Young Master Liu, stop being so happy and hurry up and cut it. It won't be too late to be happy after it's cut out."

Only then did Liu Chengfeng snap back to reality from his sweet dream. He wiped away the saliva that had inadvertently leaked from the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Fine, this Young Master will personally cut the stone and let you see with your own eyes how dazzling a cyan crystal stone is."

Liu Chengfeng held the knife handle, concentrating and holding his breath as he looked at the raw stone before him, but his expression seemed somewhat hesitant.

Su Luo, however, couldn't be bothered to pay him any more attention.

Anyway, no matter how he cut it, once this blade went down, it would be entirely grayish-white from the inside out. No matter what angle he cut from, the result would be the same.

Because the only place with a crystal stone had already been completely cut out by her.

Moreover, this cyan crystal stone was only a thin layer on the surface; its value probably wouldn't exceed a few thousand gold.

Having successfully scammed Liu Chengfeng once again, Su Luo's mood improved greatly. She hummed a little tune and walked inside with Su Xiaoyuan.

Because as Old Chen was disappearing just now, he had left her a message, telling her to go to the basement to look at the goods.

Su Luo didn't know that, over all these years, she was the only person Old Chen had ever invited to the basement to look at goods.
