"Pick each other's stones?" Henry

murmured and raised his eyebrows. The

person who played with him last time,

known as Stone King from Yun Province,

dared not to meet him now.

The old man looked at Henry and wanted

him to accept the challenge. All that Henry

had just shown was like an unknown

prophet. As long as he took a look at the

stone, he could tell whether there was

green inside or not. This was clearly an

incredible thing. So the old man thought

that Henry was also using the same as

Bing, but he was more skilled in carving

the jade stone. Even he himself could not

see through it.

When the old man made this request, he

did not know that he and Bing had already

fallen into the abyss.

Seeing that Henry did not respond, the old

man thought that Henry was afraid, so he

was more certain about his guess. The old

man had just seized everyone's attention

and deliberately took out some prepared

jade stones. He guessed that everyone

dared not buy them and gradually took the

initiative.

"What do you think, young man? Do you

dare?" the old man asked again.

"Okay." Henry reluctantly agreed.

Seeing that Henry agreed so reluctantly,

the old man was more convinced of his

own idea.

Henry asked, "How to set the rules?"

"It's very simple." The old man waved his

hand. "You and I choose the stones from

each other."

"Okay." Henry nodded.

The onlookers saw that the old man

represented the Peerless Jade, and they all

understood that the 30 million jade just

now was indeed fake. It was a trick.

At this moment, the old man had no time to

hide anything and shouted, "Everyone, the

gambling is the most part of stone

gambling. There is no one or any

instrument in the world that could see what

is hidden in the stones only by looking at it.

Just now, the person from the Broken Jade

Pavilion could guess accurately almost

every time. Don't you think it's strange?"

"That's right, I have already felt that

something was wrong," said one of Bing's

men. "He said that he could see things

inside of the stones. How is that possible?

If they really have this ability, do they still

need to open such a gambling shop? They

would have made a fortune long ago."

"Yes, isn't this just picking up the money?

There must be something fishy in it. Maybe

those jade stones were hidden by

themselves."

Some passers-by were confused and said,

"That's not right. just not the emerald jade

was chosen by the old lady herself. As for

you guys, you were acting. You've done a

great job."

"The big sister just happened to have

picked the right stone? There is no

coincidence in this world. Where did the

coincidence come from?"

"That's right." Bing's men spoke again.

The old man stretched out his hand and

said, "Well, everybody, the jade I opened

today in the Peerless Jade is not a trick. I

just wanted to wish good luck to Master

Ke. I hope that everyone can find treasures

in the Peerless Jade in the future. But now

there is someone who likes to play with

tricks. I have been gambling on stones for

more than 30 years. Today I will show

everybody this shameless person!"

The old man said loudly. It could be said

that it was the wicked first to complain.

Henry smiled and said, "The innocent will

always be innocent. Since some people

said that there is something fishy in it, let's

see whose store has something fishy going

"

on.

Henry and the old man walked toward the

opposite store almost at the same time.

When Henry came to the door of the

Peerless Jade, he picked a jade stone

without thinking.

Bing's heart ached when he saw the jade

stone Henry chose. The piece Henry took

contained jade, which was worth nearly a

million yuan. Now he only hoped that his

people could solve the problem. As long as

he could destroy the Broken Jade Pavilion,

Bing could accept the loss of more than a

million dollars in the early stage.

After all, as long as one of the stores was

closed, the other one would completely

dominate the stone-gambling market in

Ning province. It would be easy to earn this

money back.

After Henry selected the jade stone, he

asked, "If there is jade inside, will it be

mine?"

"Of course, it belongs to the one who

opened the stone." The old man

responded loudly and walked to the

Broken Jade Pavilion.

Looking at the dazzling stones in the store,

the old man frowned. Just as he said, he

had been gambling on stones for more

than 30 years and was somewhat

experienced. He also had some

understanding of the surface of the stones.

Originally, he thought that in the Broken

Jade Pavilion, like in the Peerless Jade,

there were some stones with chemical

elements on the surface, which could be

distinguished. But when he came in, he

found that these stones were all the same.

Was it possible that the kid could see if

there was green inside the stone at a

glance? The old man thought, but in the

next second, he overturned this guess

himself.

"It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible.

How could there be such a person?"

The old man shook his head and carefully

started selecting the jade stone. With the

passage of time, his face gradually

Sweated, because he was really not sure if

there was a green in that stone.

Those who were waiting outside to watch

the fun gradually became impatient when

they saw that the old man hadn't picked a

stone for five or six minutes.

"Are you done? It's been a long time. Look

at him. He picked the stone in ten

seconds."

"Don't you know how to pick? You said that

re was something fishy in that store,

but you couldn't see anything. You are

talking nonsense."

"Yes."

Hearing the urging from the crowd, the old

man made up his mind and picked up a

stone which looked the best.

Generally speaking, the selection of stones

depended on the temperature and colour

of the stones. The old man had been

gambling for more than 30 years, he also

had his own set of method to distinguish

the stones. Although the stone he chose

might not 100% have jade inside, it was

relatively the most likely to have.

When the old man finished picking the

stones, he and Henry were ready to open

the stones under the eyes of everyone.

What Henry picked was an oval stone with

a length of 40 centimetres and a height of

about 15 centimetres.

What the old man picked was a stone that

was nearly one meter high. The price of

this stone was about sixteen thousand

yuan, which was very expensive.

The old man waved his hand and ordered

the staff of the Peerless Jade, "Cut it with

a big knife, split it into pieces."

Hearing this, the employee of the Peerless

Jade nodded and walked up.

"Mr Zhang, how to treat this stone ?" The

staff of the Broken Jade Pavilion walked up

to Henry and took the initiative to ask.

Henry shook his head and said to the

crowd with a smile, "Guys, normally

speaking, there should be a layer of hard

substance on the surface of the stone, the

Surface of the stone that I'm holding now

looks solid, but in fact, it's very crispy."

After Henry finished speaking, he picked

up a small piece of gravel and knocked on

the surface of the stone he chose a few

times

The original seemingly solid surface of the

stone, with Henry's two strikes, cracked.

Then, Henry only used his hand to break

off the surface of the stone cover,

revealing a large piece of jade.

"Wow, so big!"

"It was so easy to remove the cover.

There's indeed something wrong with this

stone!"

"The Peerless Jade is really shameless.

They put on an act to lure us to their

store!
