Chapter 14

Luo Bi hesitated, as she usually consulted her family for major decisions, her gaze fell on Guan Zhuting. Compared to Guan Zhuting, she preferred to listen to her father and Hua Ran’s opinions.

At this moment, a group of people in guard uniforms pushed through the crowd and approached. The lead Ray Flame Warrior glanced at her and said, "Hello, I am Lu Xiao, the captain of the Gemstone Guild’s guard team. I heard that you gambled and won a high-quality Level 4 Red Jadeite stone. Our vice president would like to meet you. Could you please come with me?"

The people who had been bidding were displeased but dared not offend the Gemstone Guild, so they looked at Luo Bi to see her reaction.

Luo Bi hadn’t expected to attract the attention of the Gemstone Guild. After a brief hesitation, she nodded in agreement. The crowd around her looked disappointed as they watched Luo Bi leave with the Gemstone Guild’s guard team.

The Gemstone Guild was located on Gemstone Street, not far away, so the group walked there.

Luo Bi was very nervous throughout the journey, holding onto Guan Zhuting’s arm. Although her family, the Luo Clan, was a prominent family in the Phoenix Glory Empire, her grandfather’s branch had long resided on Scorched Emperor Star, where they had neither risen nor fallen, achieving little. Her father, Luo Hang, had separated from the family early on and lived independently. Luo Bi had always led an ordinary life and had never met any important figures, so her nervousness was understandable.

Don’t compare her to other穿越者 who remain calm in the face of unexpected situations; they are clueless and can’t be compared to her.

Lu Xiao led Luo Bi and Guan Zhuting to an office and then left. Luo Bi looked at the handsome young man sitting behind the desk. Even in the interstellar age, with the extended human lifespan, he looked remarkably young for a vice president of the Gemstone Guild.

"Hello, I am Wen Yao, the vice president of the Gemstone Guild’s Scorched Emperor Star branch. May I ask for your name, Miss?" Wen Yao’s eyes were sharp, and his lips curved upward, giving off an enigmatic and unfathomable smile.

Luo Bi instinctively felt wary of this person and replied, "My name is Luo Bi."

"Luo Bi?" Wen Yao narrowed his eyes, the name sounded familiar. After a moment, he smiled, "You are Luo Juan’s cousin! I am good friends with your cousin. I heard that you gambled and won a high-quality Level 4 Red Jadeite stone?"

"Ah!" Luo Bi nodded.

"As an ordinary person, you have quite good luck..."

Before he could finish, someone knocked on the door, and it opened. Two people entered.

Luo Bi looked over and saw it was Luo Juan and Luo Yan, her cousin and cousin’s sister. What a coincidence.

Luo Juan and Luo Yan clearly saw Luo Bi and Guan Zhuting. Luo Yan’s eyes widened in surprise and she asked, "Why are you here?"

Luo Bi gave a light laugh but didn’t answer. This was the person who had taken her fiancé; she wanted to slap her. What right did she have to speak to her?

At this moment, Luo Yan didn’t have time to deal with Luo Bi. She had more important matters to attend to: "Brother Yao, where is the person who gambled and won the high-quality Level 4 Red Jadeite stone?"

Wen Yao nodded toward Luo Bi, "That person is your cousin, Luo Bi. I was just thinking about how to persuade her to sell the Red Jadeite stone to you, but now it’s better. It’s easier to talk things over within the family."

Wen Yao sat back in his chair, planning to stay out of it and let the family handle the matter themselves.

"Sister Bi, did you gamble and win the high-quality Level 4 Red Jadeite stone?" Luo Yan asked, carefully observing Luo Bi’s expression, her eyes filled with suspicion. "If it’s you, that’s great. I just awakened my mental power and need three pieces of Level 3 or higher Jadeite stones to submit to the Contract Master Guild. I’ve already gambled and won two pieces, and I only need this one from you."
