Chapter 77: She Is the Realist

Chapter 77

"Yue, you hit the jackpot this time." Tang Xin was so excited that his hands were trembling. He had seen high-quality jadeite before, but never a piece of imperial green glass jadeite this massive.

Ling Yue smiled faintly and nodded. She had known from the beginning that there was jadeite in the raw stone, so this was no surprise.

Elder Zhang walked up to Ling Yue with a smile, "Congratulations, little Ling! Would you be willing to sell this piece of jadeite to me?"

Ling Yue sensed Elder Zhang's imposing aura bearing down on her and she inwardly sneered. At the same time, she released an overpowering pressure towards him. "Elder Zhang, as long as the price is reasonable, of course I'll sell."

Elder Zhang's heart pounded furiously as he stared at Ling Yue in shock. "Little Ling, how generous..." Her aura was actually stronger than his own.

Ling Yue arched an eyebrow with amusement. "Elder Zhang flatters me!"

Elder Zhang forced out a stiff smile and stepped back a few paces. Only he knew how severely he was injured. This dead girl, her hand was indeed ruthless. He had only wanted to use his aura to intimidate her into keeping the jadeite, but he never expected her to inflict such grave internal injuries upon him.

Ling Yue ignored Elder Zhang and walked over to her master who was cutting stones. "Let me do it myself."

"This... can you handle it?" The stone-cutting master eyed Ling Yue doubtfully. She looked frail and delicate, clearly lacking in strength. Not only handling the cutting machine, but even lifting it might be a challenge.

"I'll give it a try." Ling Yue took the cutting machine and began slicing the raw stone. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

The master had expected Ling Yue to return the machine shortly, but to his surprise, she quickly got the hang of it and cut the stone more efficiently than he could.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Elder Zhang turned and left. After a few steps, he could no longer hold back and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He cursed Ling Yue bitterly in his heart and staggered away.

Ling Yue glanced sideways at the retreating Elder Zhang, her petal-like red lips curving into a faint smile. Since he had provoked her first, she naturally wouldn't go easy on him.

Ling Yue picked up the cutting machine and sliced off the corner, handing it to the man.

The man excitedly accepted it, admiring it fondly.

With someone taking the lead, others soon followed suit.

Before long, the jadeite was divided into pieces, and Ling Yue had earned a substantial sum.

Lan Ji gave Ling Yue an admiring thumbs-up. "Yue, your earning speed is truly impressive. Your brother pales in comparison." He had thought himself quite skilled at making money, charging at least a hundred million per medical consultation, but compared to Yue, he was instantly reduced to a novice.

"Just luck!" Ling Yue smiled mischievously.

Lan Ji gave her a look that said, 'I don't believe you.'This sister of his was becoming more and more enigmatic the more he interacted with her, like an unsolvable mystery. The more he tried to understand her, the more perplexed he became.

Elder Zhang sat in the car on his way back, his internal organs burning like a raging fire, causing him excruciating agony.

"Sir! Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?" The driver looked at the rearview mirror with concern, seeing Elder Zhang's deathly pale face in the reflection.

Elder Zhang had no mind to respond to the driver. He only wanted to return and inform his master about Ling Yue. He could now confirm that Ling Yue was definitely a cultivator.

Seeing Elder Zhang's silence, the driver stepped on the gas, accelerating towards their destination as instructed.

Elder Zhang trembled violently. If he weren't a cultivator himself, he would have passed out from the pain long ago. Once he recovered, he would definitely make Ling Yue pay for this grievance.

Ling Yue sensed the spiritual imprint she had left on Elder Zhang moving rapidly and chuckled softly.
