Chapter 74

The comrade who rubbed his pant leg was chopped into eight pieces, an innocent sacrifice, because there was nothing illicit in his belly. Wu Di looked at the two remaining stones,

"That guy, neither fat nor thin, with an oily head and powdered face, looks like a traitor! Chop off his head first, then dismember him into eight pieces."

In the crowd, those who considered themselves well-built and handsome began to check themselves. "Damn, just because I sprayed some mousse and used some powder, I'm a traitor? Pfft, you black guy is the real traitor, a black traitor!"

The sound of the grinding wheel started and stopped, and the traitor was also executed, leaving only the last stone with a sinister face. Most of the crowd had already guessed what Wu Di was going to say next, and someone had already shouted:

"Bring that sinister black guy out and chop him!"

A burst of laughter followed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much livelier. Actually, by the time the third stone was chopped, many people wanted to leave. Attending the public auction was such a sacred event; how could they waste their precious time watching this brat's performance? But they were trapped in the middle and couldn't leave. When they heard someone suggest chopping the black guy, they immediately cheered loudly.

"Shh!"

Wu Di put his index finger to his lips, waiting for the crowd to quiet down. Then he said mysteriously:

"Those who are insecure like to arm themselves with claws to protect themselves, but they actually have something inside. Come, let's grind away his rough edges and reveal his brilliance!"

The crowd applauded enthusiastically. This young man's words were quite philosophical. This trip to the public auction was worth it. This incident would surely be talked about in the industry for a long time, and as a witness, it would be an honor to recount it!

The largest edge was cut off, and before the assistant could change the blade, a sharp-eyed person already shouted:

"Damn, there's green, there's really green, it's rising, it's rising a lot!"

"Glass seed, my God, it's actually a glass seed! Oh God, strike me with lightning, I've played with jade for decades and have never opened a single piece of glass seed myself!"

The crowd suddenly parted to reveal the man who was wailing to the sky. "Damn, you're not even twenty, and you've been playing with jade for decades? Did you start in the womb?"

But the young man's eyes were good; it was indeed a glass seed. After the stone cutter confirmed the news, the crowd became excited. Wang, the organizer of the public auction, who had been troubled by Wu Di, was now thinking of how to mitigate the impact. He frowned and came up with a plan, shouting:

"Set off fireworks, quickly set off fireworks to celebrate the birth of the first full-gambling glass seed of this public auction!"

Wu Di sat in his chair, blinking in confusion. Glass seed? I wonder if it's an old pit glass seed or an ice glass. Damn, who said this ugly stone would produce a top-quality piece? I'll find a land temple and worship him when I get back!

The grinding wheel spun, and the young stone cutter no longer consulted Wu Di. Using a combination of scraping and cutting, he extracted the emerald, which was the size of a melon, in half an hour. It was an old pit glass seed! A large dragon with seedling green!

The crowd was in an uproar, and people began to shout:

"I'll offer 30 million!"

"50 million, old pit glass seed, top-quality!"

"51 million!"

Wu Di smiled bitterly and bowed. It seemed he had gone too far again. He hoped he wouldn't be scolded by his brother. He shouted:

"This stone is not for sale, not for sale. Thank you all for your support. Please disperse, disperse... Damn, how did the public auction start bidding?"

The crowd suddenly quieted down, and people looked around. Wu Di took the opportunity to shout:

"Thank you all, the stone is not for sale. It's getting late, go and look at the stones quickly."

The crowd dispersed, and Zhong Qi, with a smug look, swaggered over, slapping Wu Di so hard he almost fell. He said seriously:

"Little Wu, I advise you to wander far and wide. If you go back to the capital, you'll definitely be put under house arrest by the old man!"

Wu Di said with a bitter face:

"I'm afraid I'll be put under house arrest as soon as I get home tonight."

"You didn't even tell me, but your brother called last night. The wild wolf was captured, and none of the others escaped. We had no casualties. But it seems something big happened; he didn't say and immediately returned to the base for an emergency assembly. You don't need to worry about him."

"If he finds me, I'll say you incited me!"

"You!"

Zhong Qi suddenly pointed at Wu Di, rolled his eyes, and fell backward, scaring Chang Linlin, who quickly supported him, scolding:

"Little Wu!"

"It's fine, it's fine. I'll give him a good slap, and he'll wake up!"

Zhong Qi suddenly turned and hugged Chang Linlin, saying affectionately:

"Wife, in this world, I still think you're the best to me."

Chang Linlin couldn't hold back and said angrily:

"You're all the same, you've made me so angry!"

Wang, the organizer of the public auction, who had been waiting on the side, wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile:

"Little brother, you're really amazing, with such a big influence. I almost thought the public auction couldn't continue."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I really didn't know that casually cutting a few stones would cause such a mess. I'm really sorry. Next time I cut stones, I'll do it quietly, without making a sound."

"No, no, I think you misunderstood. I want to thank you on behalf of all the staff. You made this public auction unique! Look at how lively the atmosphere is! I believe that whether it's these shops or the rough stones in the public auction, they will be quickly snapped up! Really, thank you so much!"

"Ah? Is that okay?"

Wu Di ran to Liu Li's store to take refuge, mainly because Wang was too enthusiastic, and everyone who saw Wu Di greeted him warmly. Liu Li quietly said to the three of them:

"Do you know? Wu Di has been crowned a king!"

"What kind of king? Jade king?"

"Mad philosopher king!"

"Damn, I want to complain. Why does nothing happen when others cut stones, but something always happens when I do? Mad philosopher king, a huge stain on my life. Don't let anyone know my name!"

Suddenly, a vendor's shout came from a distant stall:

"Mad philosopher king Wu Di's chosen stone, on sale at a huge discount! Everyone, come and grab it! Those who come late will regret it so much they'll bang their heads against the wall!"

Damn, Wu Di's body swayed, and he felt a strong urge to bang his head against the wall. Chang Linlin couldn't hold back and laughed so hard she was shaking like a flower. If she had put on powder, it would have fallen off in white flakes.

Awesome! Wu Di suddenly shouted, stretching. Since he obtained the heavenly book, his life had undergone a tremendous transformation, and he had been living in the shadow of fear and loss. Although he had gradually adapted recently, the heavy psychological pressure had not disappeared but was hidden away. Every day when he opened his eyes, he felt like he was living in a dream. But today's commotion had cleared his heart of all worries! Looking at the lively public auction, he felt an urge to sing out loud!

I walk my own path, even if it means enduring loneliness! I walk my own path, even if it means falling and repeating the same mistakes! I walk my own path, letting my dreams dance freely in my heart! I walk my own path, even if I lose everything, no one can take away my inner clarity!
