Chapter 300: Priceless!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan exchanged gleeful looks when they heard that Ling Yun indeed had no money.

They spat out the anger in their chest and stood up excitedly. Their eyes turned red!

What did they have to be afraid of with Song Zhengyang in their side? Audible snickers escaped Gou Junfa as he pointed at Ling Yun. “Ling Yun, the one who forced us to gamble was you, wasn’t it? The one who set the stakes at a hundred million was you, wasn’t it? The one who doubted our ability to take out a hundred million was also you, wasn’t it?!”

“Now you’re saying that you don’t have the money when we managed to get a hundred million. Let’s not get started with your character. You are disrespecting Uncle Song as a witness to the gamble!”

Gou Junfa’s face was filled with sneer and disdain. He grabbed the opportunity to get Song Zhengyang into his camp and berated Ling Yun!

Tang Meng was embarrassed. Ling Yun had been putting Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan in their places since he had arrived. However, now that Ling Yun was not keeping his side of the bet, he was unable to refute their claims. He could only blush and think of ways to explain the situation to Song Zhengyang.

Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun was a great fighter. Nonetheless, there wouldn’t be any glory in winning any fight tonight. In fact, it would be shameful if word were to get out.

Tang Meng was about to explain to Song Zhengyang when Ling Yun spoke.

Ling Yun laughed inwardly as he looked on at Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan’s exaggerated behavior. They looked like monkeys in a circus.

Two idiots!

“Can’t you two just settle down calmly? I have yet to finish what I have to say. What’s the excitement about?”

Ling Yun turned and smiled towards Song Zhengyang. “Uncle Song, please don’t be angry. They have yet to bring the full amount as well. Please have a seat. I will not make things difficult for you since I am here to bet!”

Song Zhengyang didn’t know what was up Ling Yun’s sleeve, but he knew that Ling Yun was not an ordinary person. He nodded lightly and sat back into his seat.

Ling Yun gave Song Zhengyang a reassuring smile before addressing Tang Meng. “Tang Meng, give me your jacket. I’ll head out to get something.”

Tang Meng was also in the dark on Ling Yun’s plan for the hundred million. Nonetheless, he handed Ling Yun his jacket out of trust.

“My apologies, Uncle Song. Please excuse me for a while!” Ling Yun beamed as he got up and walked towards the exit of the room.

“Ling Yun, you won’t be running away now, would you?” Gou Junfa jeered after Ling Yun.

“Little puppy, are you forgetting who your master is? Do you want another beating?” Ling Yun turned back and threatened quietly.

Gou Junfa’s smile stiffened immediately.

Ling Yun took no more notice of Gou Junfa. He got out of the room and quickly went into an empty corner. He put Tang Meng’s jacket on his left hand and thought about the object in his heart. The Psychic Jade Box appeared in his hand.

The Psychic Jade Box had been obscured by Tang Meng’s black jacket when it appeared out of the spatial ring. However, that was not enough to put out the beautiful crystal clear green light emitted by the box.

The Psychic Jade Box was about twenty four centimeters long, eighteen centimeters wide and twelve centimeters high. It was as big as two red bricks stacked together. It looked like a heavy squarish jade seal when unopened.

Ling Yun smiled and wrapped the psychic jade box with Tang Meng’s jacket tightly. He returned to the room, grabbing the box with a single hand.

It was a treasure! Ling Yun very nearly sold it for cash just a few days ago. It was worth even more to Ling Yun now that he carved forty-nine spiritual energy formations on it. That enabled him to store an immeasurable amount of immortal spiritual energy.

It was a great opportunity to have an appraisal of this box by Song Zhengyang who was the Vice Minister of the Antiques Association and the General Manager of the Jewelry Association.

At the same time, Ling Yun wanted to test Song Zhengyang’s ability. He would earn Ling Yun’s respect if he could ascertain that the jade box was extraordinary. Conversely, if he were to ascertain otherwise, Ling Yun would not waste any more time on him.

“Hey, back so soon? Have you gotten the money yet?” Gou Junfa jeered at Ling Yun, who had returned in less than a minute.

Ling Yun strode back to his own seat and pushed the psychic jade box in front of Song Zhengyang.

“Uncle Song, please open and appraise it.” Ling Yun smiled innocently and ignored Gou Junfa.

Song Zhengyang’s shrewd pair of eyes sparkled with excitement.

“What is this?” Song Zhengyang rubbed his hands together but didn’t lay a finger on the bundle.

“Uncle Song, open it and you will know!” Ling Yun replied to Song Zhengyang lightheartedly.

Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan were also curious. What was so mysterious about this tight bundle?

Obtain an appraisal from Song Zhengyang? Even two gold bars would not be worth a hundred million!

The two of them fearlessly waited for Ling Yun to make a fool of himself.

Song Zhengyang opened the bundle with care after his hands expended a slight warmth from the rubbing.

A glimmer of green light escaped from under the clothes as he peeled the layers off. His hand trembled slightly.

He pinched the last corner of the jacket and exposed the Psychic Jade Box completely to everyone present.

The jade box was crystal clear. Its brilliance reflected to all corners of the room. It was breathtakingly beautiful!

Song Zhengyang was absolutely stunned!

He was in the heart of the jewelry and jade industry for nearly thirty years. He knew instantly that it was imperial green jade, the best grade of jade!

Song Zhengyang had never laid his eyes upon such a huge whole imperial green jade!

“Uncle Song, how much do you think this jade is worth?”

Song Zhengyang’s Adam’s apple was trembling with excitement. That did not escape Ling Yun’s sharp gaze. He knew that there was a way out but continued pretending to be uneasy.

“This...” Song Zhengyang held the psychic jade box in his hands and inspected it with care. He held it like his own baby, oblivious to Ling Yun’s question.

Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan were rudely shocked by the beauty of the jade box. It was obviously worth some money and intended to replace the hundred million stake. Gou Junfa didn’t want to let them succeed and tried to put the value of the box down disdainfully. “Isn’t that just a piece of jade? It can’t be worth a hundred million!”

“Shut up!” Song Zhengyang interrupted the ignorant Gou Junfa coldly.

Song Zhengyang flipped the psychic jade box over and over carefully for more than a minute before placing the psychic jade box back on the table with some reluctance.

“Ling Yun, keep this well. I will lend you this hundred million first if you can’t come up with it now!” Song Zhengyang said slowly.

“What?! That...”

“Huh? What?! Y-you cannot do this!”

Both Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa were dismayed at the turn of events. They couldn’t believe that Song Zhengyang would actually do this.

What was this jade? Song Zhengyang dared to give Ling Yun a hundred million just by showing him the jade. He didn’t even ask for a mortgage!

Song Zhengyang cleared his throat and began to explain. He had to quell the dissatisfaction from the two. “You don’t understand. This jade box is the most superior grade of imperial green jade I have ever seen. Both of you should have some knowledge of this. You should know that such a huge piece of jade is priceless! No one would ever sell this! And based on my observation, this jade box has been engraved with fine and dense repetitive lines. It is so rare to see such fine work!”

Ling Yun knew that Song Zhengyang was referring to the forty-nine spirit gathering formations he had carved with the Emperor Brush.

“This is such a rare treasure. How can it be used to leverage a mere hundred million? To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly if Ling Yun mortgaged this baby to me for a hundred million.”

“Now that Ling Yun has proven that he has the financial might for the bet, I will put up this hundred million for him. I am bearing witness to this bet!”

Song Zhengyang made a lot of sense. His eyes were glued to the psychic jade box as though he would lose a few million every second if his eyes were not on it.

“But... but...” Gou Junfa felt that something was wrong but could not quite put his hand on it.

“What? Do you not believe me?!” Song Zhengyang’s face finally fell after being irked by Gou Junfa’s constant babbling which disturbed his admiration of the jade.
