Chu Feng and Ma Hong had waited for a full hour on the first floor before the six ladies finally erged from the room, dressed in the clothes they fancied.
Seeing the captivating charm of the six ladies, Ma Hong felt his breathing beco a bit hurried.
Ma Hong stealthily gave Chu Feng a thumbs up and whispered, "Brother, that’s really sothing!"
Chu Feng could only respond with an awkward smile.
anwhile, within the Wu Family at East River.
Wu Mingzhe was in a luxurious room, hosting two people from the Tie Family.
Looking at Tie Mu’s uncle and second uncle, Wu Mingzhe also wore a smile on his face.
"Uncles, I wonder how you have considered the matter I ntioned before? I’ve already spoken to Young Master Bai, and he has agreed to the conditions you uncles proposed," Wu Mingzhe said politely with a smile.
Tie Mu’s uncle said, "Since Young Master Bai has agreed, of course we have no issues. The plan can proceed, but it must start with your cooperation."
Wu Mingzhe said, "Uncle Tie, that’s, of course, necessary. However, Uncle Tie, I’ve heard that Tie Mu has a good relationship with Chu Feng. What do you uncles think we should do about that?"
Tie Mu’s uncle replied, "That will certainly be taken care of by soone, guaranteed with no slip-ups."
Hearing this, Wu Mingzhe laughed and said, "If that’s the case, then that’s great. I’ll toast to you uncles, hoping for a pleasant cooperation and wealth for us all."
However, just as the three were about to clink glasses, Wu Mingzhe’s phone also rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Wu Mingzhe answered the phone.
"Young Master Wu, our people have been taken away by the Ma Family. Now, we cannot make any careless moves," ca the voice of Yunxi, Master Miao, from the other end.
"The Ma Family of Yunxi? How are they connected to Chu Feng?" Wu Mingzhe asked with a frown.
Master Miao said, "The downfall of the Bai Family was orchestrated by both Chu Feng and Ma Hong, and I don’t know why Ma Hong has suddenly appeared in Yunxi."
Wu Mingzhe nodded and said, "I understand the situation. I will inform Young Master Bai to take care of it."
After Wu Mingzhe hung up the phone, Tie Mu’s uncle asked, "Is there a problem at Yunxi?"
Wu Mingzhe said, "It’s not a big issue, just so minor ones. Young Master Bai had anticipated this and has made other arrangents. Chu Feng, for sure, will not return."
...
Thanks to Ma Hong’s arrangents, Chu Feng and the other six got to enjoy the most authentic specialty dishes of Yunxi.
"Boss, the food in Yunxi tastes so good! When are we going to ride elephants?" Fan Xiaoxiao said, patting her round belly.
Ma Hong said, "I’ve already arranged for that. Soone will take you to have fun tomorrow."
He paused, then added, "In two days, there will be a jade appreciation event here in Yunxi. Would you be interested?"
"A jade appreciation event? Is it the kind where you can gamble on jade and it gets really crazy?" Fan Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up after hearing that.
Ma Hong said with a smile, "There will be a gambling stone segnt, but here in Yunxi, it’s not as wild as in Yunshuang. The jade gambling here in Yunxi is relatively more rational."
Fan Xiaoxiao said, "Then let’s go to Yunshuang."
"No, Yunshuang is already at the border, and it’s too dangerous," Chu Feng flatly refused.
Looking at Chu Feng, Fan Xiaoxiao could only reply with disappointnt, "Oh! Okay then."
Ma Hong said, "Actually, for those of you who have never experienced it, the jade gambling here in Yunxi is already considered incredibly crazy."
Fan Xiaoxiao replied, "That’s good too."
Thanks to Ma Hong’s arrangents, Fan Xiaoxiao and the others were also riding on elephants the next day.
During the following two days, the six won had a great ti, completely forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city.
"Are we going to look at gambling stones now?" Fan Xiaoxiao woke up early in the morning, her face full of excitent.
Chu Feng found Ma Hong and asked, "Brother Ma, is this jade appraisal eting a formal one?"
In Yunxi, there were all sorts of jade appraisal etings; many were organized by underground groups. Comparatively speaking, these were very unsafe. Although Chu Feng had recovered a lot of his strength, he still couldn’t take Fan Xiaoxiao and the others on a risky adventure.
Ma Hong said, "This ti it is organized by the governnt, so there’s no problem with safety."
Hearing Ma Hong’s words, Chu Feng also said, "That’s good."
The group arrived at the jade appraisal eting in grand fashion.
The governnt-organized event was indeed different; at least it was held indoors, not outdoors.
Having learned a lot about jade, Chu Feng took on the task of explaining it to his companions.
Of course, Chu Feng also took the opportunity to absorb so of the spiritual energy within these jades to recover his cultivation more quickly.
Fan Xiaoxiao said, "Over there they have gambling stones; I want to try my luck too. I believe my invincible luck will make rich with one cut." She had learned quite a bit of the slang used in the gambling stone circles from Chu Feng.
Ma Hong said, "It’s in the exhibition hall ahead; that’s where the gambling stones are. Let’s go take a look, and if you like any stones, I’ll give them to you."
"Brother Ma, you’ve already given us a lot of jades. This ti, let us do it ourselves," Cui Jingyan said politely.
Cui Jingyan wasn’t very clear about the exact relationship between Chu Feng and Ma Hong, so she didn’t want to owe Ma Hong too much.
Ma Hong said, "You really don’t need to be polite with . Compared to these, what Brother Chu has given is many tis more."
"Exactly what did the boss help you with, and was the boss’s last visit to Yunshuang really that thrilling?" Fan Xiaoxiao batted her large eyes, ready to start prying.
Chu Feng gave Ma Hong a look, and Ma Hong repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Those are things of the past, let’s not talk about them today."
After speaking, Ma Hong led the way into the exhibition hall.
Looking at the stones, so with windows opened and others remaining uncut, Fan Xiaoxiao was amazed, reaching out to touch and observe them.
"Boss, how can you tell if there’s sothing inside these stones?" After looking around, Fan Xiaoxiao felt a bit frustrated, as all the stones seed to look the sa.
"Ouch!"
Walking backwards, Fan Xiaoxiao didn’t notice soone crouching behind her and bumped into them.
But fortunately, Chu Feng was quick to act and steadied both Fan Xiaoxiao and the person she had bumped into.
"I’m so sorry, sir; I didn’t hurt you, did I? I really didn’t do it on purpose," Fan Xiaoxiao quickly apologized to the old man behind her.
The elderly man dressed in a Tang suit, looking very spirited and unaffected by the collision with Fan Xiaoxiao, was clearly not the sort to make a scene. He waved his hand and said, "I’m fine; young lady, are you okay?"
Fan Xiaoxiao hastily replied, "I’m fine too, sir, as long as you’re okay."
After a pause, Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the stone in the old man’s hand and added, "Sir, are you also gambling stones? That’s really crazy and not good for the elderly’s health, you know?"
