Chapter 239: Petrified on the Spot (12)

"Indeed, but one hundred thousand gold is truly too high. You should know that even a cut cyan crystal stone only has a market price of fifty thousand gold."

"Yes, this price is indeed ridiculously high; only a fool would pay such a steep price."

"The most laughable thing is that in the end, it turned out to be a skin-deep crystal stone."

Everyone was a Monday morning quarterback, constantly criticizing with the benefit of hindsight.

But these voices were like sharp thorns, stabbing into Liu Chengfeng's heart and making it throb with pain.

No, this wouldn't do. He couldn't just collapse like this. Didn't he still have some raw stones he bought? Those raw stones he snatched from that Stinky Girl's hands definitely wouldn't be bad; they would surely yield good crystal stones.

Right, cut them. He had to cut them!

Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and ordered, "Bring out all seven raw stones I bought earlier. This Young Master wants to continue cutting stones!"

More cutting? The surrounding people whispered among themselves, but Liu Chengfeng ignored them all. He had to cut out a cyan crystal stone now, otherwise how could he explain this to his family?

He had spent money like water, spending nearly one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in a single day!

The first raw stone, one cut… nothing.

The second raw stone, a horizontal cut… nothing.

The third raw stone, a vertical cut… nothing.

The fourth raw stone… the seventh raw stone. They were almost chopped into powder by Liu Chengfeng, but they remained empty, without a single trace of a crystal stone!

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng was almost driven mad.

One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! A full one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! He had actually thrown it all away! He hadn't even touched a tiny bit of crystal stone, not even a speck of red crystal stone!

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were burning with fire, and he had almost lost his reason. This was impossible! That Stinky Girl had clearly spent a long time choosing them and even had a look of secret joy!

And just then, Su Luo, accompanied by Old Chen, slowly strolled over.

Su Luo walked in front with the posture of a master, while Old Chen followed half a step behind in the position of a servant… This order seemed very bizarre to the crowd.

Because among the people who could come here, who didn't know Old Chen? Who didn't know he was the once-famous Crystal Stone King? How could he be someone else's servant? That was impossible!

Therefore, no one could guess the master-servant relationship between Su Luo and Old Chen.

Liu Chengfeng did not rush forward frantically. At this time, his bloodshot eyes had gradually calmed down, but as he looked at Su Luo's back, the coldness in his eyes was filled with a malicious light, and a bizarre sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand and beckoned a servant, whispering several things into his ear.

The servant quickly took the order and left.

Liu Chengfeng did this very discreetly; almost no one noticed his little maneuver.

Su Luo gave Su Xiaoyuan ten gold coins and smiled, "Take them. Go buy some good things for your mother and sister, and don't neglect yourself too much."

"Go—gold coins?" Su Xiaoyuan looked at the ten gold coins in his palm with excitement, his mouth hanging open in disbelief. Didn't the Young Miss originally say it would be ten copper coins?

"Your actions today are worth this price. Put them away and don't let anyone steal them; with your small frame, you won't be able to get them back then," Su Luo said with a smile.

"Bu—but… I didn't do anything today," Su Xiaoyuan said dejectedly. Today, he had done nothing except lead the Young Miss to Uncle Chen's place. Receiving so many gold coins for nothing made him feel ashamed.
