At that point Han XinYu’s mood had become extremely complicated. In the Seven-Stars Gambling Gathering he had lost to Lin Luo by a single point, but at the time he didn’t think he was worse than Lin Luo. He only thought that Lin Luo was a newcomer with slightly better luck. Now though it looks like that was not the case…
After his brother offered such a high price for his seemingly bad scraps, Lin Luo refused without hesitation. Did he also see the mystery of this gambling stone like his brother? Is his ability to bet on stones as strong as his brother? Even… better?
Finally, another section of the jade was revealed, He Kun couldn’t wait to wash away the stone dust with the water gun, and then froze, not even knowing that the water gun had misfired on to his pants.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Xu Jian was standing next to He Kun, and his pants also got wet.
“That, that is…”
“What?” Xu Jian patted his pants and looked up. When he saw the cut surface of the jade his whole body became as stiff as He Kun’s, “Gold…Golden…”
After the full and transparent purple, this piece of jade, which could already have been called a top-shelf jade, had added a touch of bright gold…
Since ancient times, purple has been a symbol of mystery, wealth, and magnificence, while gold has been a representative of nobility, holiness, and luxury. This jade showed both these two colors together, highlighting an understated luxurious beauty.
Purple plus gold is valued at more than just the sum of the value of the two colors of jade. The combination of the two equally rare natural elements let the total value of this amazing jade directly double!
“Purple-gold two-color glass…” Han XinYuan was so heartbroken at this point his heart was nearly bleeding tears. Only a little bit more, and this world-rare top jade would have be born out of his hands.
However, money can’t buy foresight. This jadeite was won by Lin Luo.
The top-quality purple-gold two-color jade was finally completely cut. It looked to weigh about 3 or 4 kilograms and was carefully held by Lin Luo with both hands. The whole body was clear and lustrous, the color was full and bright, and it was full of a gorgeous and spiritual beauty.
The surrounding people all stared at this top-quality jade with greedy eyes, but no one bid. Because the value of this jade was too high, it was definitely not something ordinary people could afford.
At exactly this time, the garrison finally entered the stone cutting area and began to disperse the crowd, which made He Kun and the others finally able to go.
“Put away the jade, let’s leave soon.” Xing Mo whispered to Lin Luo.
The unveiling of today’s hidden bid winners also represents the end of the Vermi Open Auction. Additionally the gambling stones they bought had all been cut. Xing Mo planned to take Lin Luo to leave overnight.
“Okay.” Lin Luo obediently collected the purple-gold two-color jade into the space button. When he was about to follow Xing Mo out, he was called to by Andre.
“Lin Luo.”
“What’s the matter?” Lin Luo stopped and looked at Andre.
“That jade…” Andre stopped talking.
“I’m sorry… this jade is also not for sale.” Although he didn’t finish his words, Lin Luo had already guessed his unfinished words.
Andre sighed, “I guessed it.”
“Andre, it’s been nice to meet you. You are welcome to come see me on Kipola and I’ll treat you to dinner!” Lin Luo still had a good impression of Andre, and sincerely wanted to befriend him.
“Okay.” Andre nodded with a smile.
Under the escort of security personnel and the local garrison of Vermi, Lin Luo was able to escape smoothly.
As soon as they came out, Xing Mo immediately purchased the return shuttle ticket to Kipola that night through his light brain.
During the Vermi Open Auction, there were a large number of passengers on the shuttles every day, so the number of shuttle voyages available had increased a lot, and tickets were not difficult to buy.
After buying the tickets, Xing Mo took Lin Luo back to the hotel to check out, said goodbye to He Kun and others, and hurried off to the star port.
On the one hand, they carried a piece of priceless jade with them. Although the laws of the empire were strict, it was still not 100% safe. He felt that they had to return to Kipola as soon as possible to be at ease.
On the other hand, Ling WenHua had previously mentioned about interstellar pirates. Although there was no news about interstellar pirates appearing on Vermi, Xing Mo had continued to feel anxious in his heart, and thought that something would happen…
This anxiety continued until they boarded the ship and set sail, and only then finally eased a little.
The two ate some food provided on the shuttle, after which Lin Luo yawned.
“Brother, I’m sleepy. Shall we sleep?” Lin Luo was really tired after a busy day.
“Sure. Let’s go to bed soon.”
The two laid down in the dormant cabin together. For safety’s sake, Xing Mo did not turn on the full dormancy mode, but instead turned on the automatic sensing mode. That way the dormant cabin would release the dormancy based on their brainwave activity.
If something happened, he would be able to react in time.
Xing Mo’s decision was very wise.
Eventually, Xing Mo awoke from the sound of harsh sirens.
He suddenly sat up from the dormant cabin. A pungent burnt smell lingered on the tip of his nose, the screams and cries of various people lingered in his ears, and scattered explosions could be heard from time to time.
