Chapter 75

Xu Jianxing chuckled, "Second Brother, when you helped me before, you never said anything about being so strict, saying that good brothers should share their wealth. Why are you drawing a line this time?"

"Grass, how can it be the same with Fourth Brother? I don't believe that after reading for so many years, you don't understand the value of this book. If it were just a few hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand, it wouldn't matter. But the value of this book is really too high. I can't feel at ease with this money, and I won't take it," Qin Yufei said firmly.

"Alright then," Xu Jianxing shrugged. "I'm pretty busy anyway. Just post up to a hundred chapters and then leave it there. Of course, you can stop posting if you want."

"What, what?" Qin Yufei was speechless. "Fourth Brother, you're not telling me you're going to withdraw it, are you?"

"Hmm, you can take it that way," Xu Jianxing said nonchalantly.

"Damn, I'll call you Big Brother, please don't do that. If you do, the friends in my group will definitely chase you to Hai City for a live PK. Besides, after my boasting a few days ago, even Big Brother and Third Brother know about this. They said it's definitely an excellent book. Although they highly doubt it's written by me, I didn't betray you. But if you do this, don't blame me for making them criticize you," Qin Yufei said through gritted teeth.

Xu Jianxing laughed, "If you say so, who would believe it? I believe Big Brother and Third Brother wouldn't believe it was written by me either. Even if you somehow make them believe it, I can just turn off my phone for a while. Who's afraid of who?"

"Damn," Qin Yufei said, speechless. "What do you want then?"

"Nothing much. I think we should keep the money we earn from the book with you. You can spend it if you want, or keep it as a small fund for the four of us. What do you think?" Xu Jianxing asked with a smile.

"Alright, do as you wish," Qin Yufei replied, a bit reluctantly, but then excitedly added, "Fourth Brother, let me tell you, the book just got an official recommendation, and the number of favorites has already surpassed 4000. It's now at ninth place on the homepage. I estimate that today it will break 8000 favorites. Even if it doesn't make it to the top three on the homepage, it won't be far off. Just in the last hour, I've calculated that the rewards have already reached 3000. It's absolutely crazy. Are you excited?"

"Excited my ass," Xu Jianxing muttered to himself. Before the book was released, he was confident it would soar once the right time came, and the subscriptions would definitely be a terrifying number. However, after the incident with the omnipotent ring, these things seemed quite ordinary. The only thing Xu Jianxing didn't know was that the majority of the rewards came from Qin Yufei's friends in the group.

Xu Jianxing laughed, "Excited, I'm very excited. If Second Brother has nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"I... Damn, Fourth Brother, I can't even talk to you anymore. It feels like you've become a hermit, nothing can disturb your peace of mind," Qin Yufei said helplessly.

"Ha, if you feel that way, you're right. My current dream is to eat and sleep, and sleep and eat. I don't have time to chat. I'm busy," Xu Jianxing said, then hung up the phone. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. With the constant bombardment over the past few days, even if he had been interested, he had lost interest. Everything had to give way to cultivation.

After putting away the phone, Xu Jianxing started selecting raw stones again. With his cultivation breakthrough, the number of times he could detect inside the stones had clearly increased...

However, the remaining money wasn't much, so Xu Jianxing didn't choose too expensive stones. Even so, by 4 PM, he had spent over 18 million, which was a considerable amount.

There wasn't much money left in his card. Before leaving, Xu Jianxing naturally wanted to make one last profit. He wouldn't be coming back to Teng'an for a while, and if he did, it would be to Myanmar.

So he pointed to three raw stones in a store and said to the owner, "Boss Li, have a few people cut these three stones for me. I'll take one last gamble."

"Last?" Boss Li asked curiously. "Is Young Master Xu going back?"

"Yes," Xu Jianxing nodded and smiled. "I'm going back the day after tomorrow. I'll just wander around tomorrow and won't come back here."

"Ah!" Boss Li was a bit surprised and said reluctantly, "Why not stay a few more days, Young Master Xu? You're leaving so soon."

"My father wants me to go back, there's nothing I can do about it," Xu Jianxing shrugged, secretly amused. He suspected that Boss Li was more reluctant to part with his money than with him.

"Oh, if the old man wants you back, there's nothing you can do. I wish you a safe journey, and may you have a big win when the stones are cut. Don't forget us old friends," Boss Li said with a smile.

"Of course not," Xu Jianxing smiled and said, pretending to be eager. "Alright, Boss Li, quickly find someone to take the stones out. Cut the three I pointed out and see if we can have another big win like yesterday."

"You must be dreaming," Boss Li thought, but he smiled and said, "Of course, Young Master Xu is blessed."

"Thanks for your good wishes, Boss Li," Xu Jianxing replied with a smile, though he knew Boss Li didn't mean it. However, the three stones he pointed out wouldn't have a big win. Two of them were chosen randomly to cover up, and their value was relatively low. Only one, a half-gambling stone that cost 3 million, was confirmed to have jade with good water. According to his estimate, it was worth about 15 million, the most valuable stone he had chosen today.

Although this amount wasn't much for him now, it was enough to settle his parents. As for the future, money wasn't an issue.

Soon, the stones were taken out, and naturally, many people gathered around. Some even recognized Xu Jianxing and pointed him out to others with envious looks.

"See that? That's the owner who cut out the imperial green jade yesterday, selling it for a hundred million. The whole street went crazy."

"Damn, it's him. He doesn't look like much, but how did he get such good luck?"

"Hmph, gambling stones is all about luck. When luck comes, no one can stop it. But I heard he also bought 20 million worth of jade yesterday, which he hasn't cut yet. If he keeps playing like this, he'll eventually go bankrupt."

"I agree. It looks like a big win now, but I've never seen anyone who keeps gambling have a good end..."

Xu Jianxing ignored the comments around him, but a hint of satisfaction showed on his face. After all, he had played the role of a second-generation rich kid.

After a while, Boss Li walked over. "Young Master Xu, let's start cutting."

"Sure, you don't need to ask me. Just do what you think is best," Xu Jianxing shrugged.

"Alright," Boss Li didn't say more and called out to three old men in the distance. "Master Huang, you can start."

"Okay," the three old men nodded and began examining the stones.

Xu Jianxing, bored, looked around and suddenly felt something was off. He turned his head and saw a Western face with a radiant smile.

"Hi, Mr. Xu, we really have a connection."

Isabel smiled and waved at Xu Jianxing, her eyes flashing with mischief. After finishing her statement, she had been thinking about how to connect with Xu Jianxing openly. She had planned to visit him after eating and resting, but thought it would be too obvious and might make Xu Jianxing uncomfortable, so she held back. Finally, after staying in the hotel for a while, she found the jade street boring and decided to come here. She had only intended to try her luck, but she actually heard from Boss Ma that Xu Jianxing was here, leading to this situation.

"I'm not doing well at all," Xu Jianxing muttered to himself but forced a smile as Isabel approached. "You're doing well, Miss Isabel."

"Thank you," Isabel walked up to Xu Jianxing and said, "Mr. Xu, you don't look too good. Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking into Isabel's mischievous eyes, Xu Jianxing rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

As he said this, his voice dropped. "But it would be even better if I didn't have to see you."

"Ah!" Isabel suddenly exclaimed, then asked in disbelief, "Mr. Xu, we've only met twice, and you're already asking me to be your girlfriend. Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"Damn, when did I say you should be my girlfriend?"

Xu Jianxing was shocked and was about to protest, but Isabel smiled charmingly and said with a hint of shyness, "But I have a good feeling about Mr. Xu, so I accept."

At this, the crowd around them was stunned, and many privately sighed in envy and jealousy, admiring the straightforwardness of Western women. They all looked at Xu Jianxing with envy and jealousy.

Boss Li also looked at Xu Jianxing enviously, bowed, and said, "Young Master Xu, you're amazing. I, Old Li, congratulate you on finding a beautiful partner. May you have a long and happy life together."

"I..." Xu Jianxing was about to protest again, but Isabel hooked her arm around his and smiled at Boss Li. "Mr. Li, thank you for your blessing."

"You're welcome, Miss Isabel, you're too kind. When you get married, don't forget me, Old Li. After all, I should be considered a witness to your romance."

Boss Li laughed and joked. As for what would happen between Xu Jianxing and Isabel, he didn't care. He knew Isabel's identity was not simple; otherwise, she wouldn't have easily taken out a hundred million. He was just trying to be nice to her. If they did get married, he would definitely attend, hoping to meet some important people and make connections.
