211: He exposed
“Oh my, what’s going on?”
Looking at the boss’s expression, it was incredibly complex at this moment.
Those who were curious immediately looked at the stone in Han Lei’s hand.
Just one glance made them gasp in surprise.
“How can such a low-probability event actually happen?”
“We really found something today.”
“Boss, are you still selling these stones today? If you are, I want to try too.”
The stone Han Lei held in his hand began to glow with a lustrous sheen.
What appeared inside was green jadeite!
Its color and texture were even better than the one Chen Tianming held.
And the price was also higher.
Opening up two good things in a row, how could these people not be excited?
They all clamored to buy stones.
The boss finally came to his senses and quickly stopped them.
“Not selling, not selling. These raw stones can’t be sold at this price, I’d lose too much!”
Wan Yue was a bit surprised.
Didn’t Chen Tianming seem very confident just now?
How could he miss at this crucial moment?
Mia’s expression next to him was also subtle.
Mia was probably the most awkward person at this moment.
Her person won.
But she didn’t dare to celebrate.
Instead, she had to watch Chen Tianming’s expression, caught in the middle, it was incredibly embarrassing.
Meanwhile, a clear smile was on Han Lei’s face.
“I told you that you couldn’t compare to my Senior Sister in this regard. You insisted on coming here to court death, so don’t blame me.”
After speaking, he directly handed the half-piece of material in his hand to Chen Tianming.
“You probably won’t be able to open something this good in your entire life. I’ll take pity on you and let you have a look.”
The jadeite’s texture was indeed excellent, radiating a beautiful luster under the sunlight.
Now, in Han Lei’s eyes, Chen Tianming was his defeated opponent.
The oppressive feeling of losing to Chen Tianming at the auction earlier finally eased a lot.
Who knew that Chen Tianming, upon hearing his words, not only showed no panic but instead sneered.
Mia’s heart skipped a beat.
This was bad, it seemed like this time they might truly offend Chen Shao!
Who in the entire Demon Capital didn't know how powerful the Chen family’s influence was.
If Chen Tianming really held this against her, their company going bankrupt would be a matter of minutes!
She truly hated Han Lei in her heart now.
What was wrong with this guy?
Didn’t she tell him not to provoke Chen Tianming?
Not only did he ignore her words, but he also actively went to Chen Tianming to show off.
Mia felt a surge of panic in her heart.
She quickly went up to Chen Tianming, a pleasant smile on her face.
“Chen Shao, my friend here doesn’t quite understand the rules. He didn’t mean to target you. He’s just always been like this. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Chen Tianming, however, remained calm.
“Don’t worry, I won’t blame him. After all, he’s your friend, and his eyesight isn’t very good.”
Mia was stunned.
From the quality of the jade, it was clearly Chen Tianming who had lost.
Why did he say Han Lei had poor eyesight instead?
Upon hearing this, Han Lei immediately sneered.
“We’ll know who opened a treasure and who opened trash by comparing. I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn, still unwilling to face reality?”
Chen Tianming didn’t say much more to him, instead gently shaking the half-piece of stone in his hand.
Right before everyone’s eyes, a ripple appeared within the stone!
Everyone present was stunned.
Let alone others, even Han Lei stood frozen in place.
How could there be water inside a stone?
After so long, it should have become part of the stone!
But now there was indeed liquid present inside.
Han Lei’s eyes widened, and for a moment, he really couldn’t figure it out.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Chen Tianming lowered his voice, carefully hinting in a voice only the two of them could hear.
“You can sense it with your spiritual energy.”
Han Lei subconsciously did as told.
Unexpectedly, he actually felt spiritual energy within this liquid!
With the current spiritual energy revival, spiritual energy could be hidden in all things between heaven and earth.
And what was contained within this stone was natural spiritual liquid!
All treasures in this world are the same; even top-grade jade, when mined, is merely used as jewelry or decorations.
But once it is enriched with spiritual energy, it is different. This is something that can help people improve their cultivation.
Compared in this way, the stone in Chen Tianming’s hand was indeed more valuable.
Han Lei’s body trembled slightly, his heart filled with unwillingness.
He never expected that after choosing for so long, he would lose at this level.
And in the next second, he suddenly realized something wasn’t quite right. His eyes widened instantly, and as he looked up, he met Chen Tianming’s gaze.
Han Lei felt a chill run from his head to his feet, making him afraid to even breathe.
Their four eyes met, and the difference in their auras was immediately apparent.
Han Lei’s body shook, and the item in his hand slipped, falling directly to the ground, making the onlookers feel a pang of heartache.
Even the stall owner rushed forward, picking up the stone and gently wiping it.
But there were still traces of impact on it.
“Two bosses, you can quarrel, but don’t damage the real goods. If you don’t care about this thing, why don’t you give it to me?”
The boss said, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He really couldn’t bear to see them spoiling good things here.
But at this moment, Han Lei had no mind to care about these things.
He had just fallen for Chen Tianming’s trick!
He had actually exposed his abilities right in front of Chen Tianming!
Meanwhile, Mia, who was watching from a distance, hadn’t quite understood what was going on between the two, but from the current situation, she could still tell that what Chen Tianming held was the real treasure.
No wonder Chen Shao was said to be a legendary great figure.
Not only was his family background strong, but his personal abilities were also so powerful.
Taking advantage of the fact that Chen Tianming didn’t seem to want to settle accounts with them yet, Mia immediately smiled and approached.
“Chen Shao, I never thought you had such keen eyesight. You could tell this stone was extraordinary at a glance.”
“My family has been in the jade business for so many years, and we’ve never opened a stone with liquid inside. Today, with you, I’ve truly had my eyes opened.”
As she spoke, Mia quietly glared at Han Lei.
This guy was really stupid; he knew he had offended a big shot, yet he wasn’t running away quickly.
“Can you tell who won now?”
Chen Tianming’s voice was as calm as water.
As if nothing could stir even a ripple in his heart.
“I can tell. I’ve truly had my eyes opened today.”
Mia said with a chuckle.
At this moment, not only was she trying her best to curry favor, but even the people on the periphery were discussing it.
