165: Chapter 165: Jade must be carved to beco a vessel

Zhu Zijun knew why he was crying, and he alone understood the reason.

He wept for himself, for all the tis Wufu had criticized him in the past, highlighting his mistakes, his lack of professionalism.

Now, confronted with the completely transford Chicken Blood Stone before him, which had its essence fully carved out to present its most perfect form for all to see, he felt inferior.

He was not her equal.

It was in vain that he once claid to be a disciple of the Ghost Hand Master; he had been in the industry for at least twenty years, yet his skills were not even comparable to those of a young girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage.

It was not that Zhu Zijun felt disgraced, but rather that he found himself speechless; all his past thoughts and ideas were wrong, all mistaken.

He was complacent, with a narrow view of the world, stubborn in his own beliefs.

He never reflected on situations but rather shifted the bla, which led to his utter defeat.

“Enough!” Wufu, digging at her ear, said wearily, “I haven’t slept in two days, and it wasn’t to listen to you cry.”

Zhu Zijun choked, and seeing the girl’s tired face, he suddenly felt his own face flush with heat.

Hurriedly, he turned away to dry his tears.

“That, I…” he started, sowhat embarrassed, stamring as he spoke.

Wufu cut him off with a question, “Well, do you find the work satisfactory?”

Zhu Zijun was stunned for a mont, then nodded without hesitation, saying with a complex expression, “You’ve carved it perfectly.

I am not your equal.”

Wufu really wanted to say, you are naturally not, but considering her own age, she decided not to provoke him further.

“A montary lapse is nothing.

It’s more important whether you can stand up after a fall, and whether you want to get back up is up to you,” she said as she wrapped the Pixiu seal properly before going to find Shopkeeper Lin.

Once the work was completed, there was no need for her to stay any longer.

Upon learning that Wufu had finished the job, Shopkeeper Lin was overjoyed.

Although Wufu had guaranteed delivery within the agreed ti when she took the order, considering her youth and that this was their first transaction, he remained sowhat anxious and couldn’t fully trust her, fearing she may just be boasting.

Now that the work was indeed done, he was naturally thrilled.

When he saw the Chicken Blood Pixiu that Wufu had handed over, he was stunned.

Looking at the delicate and exquisite carving, the Pixiu that seed almost alive, the polished craftsmanship…

This was what true jade ware looked like.

“Is this the sa piece of Chicken Blood Stone?” Shopkeeper Lin asked in astonishnt as he touched the Pixiu, his heart trembling with excitent.

A well-known proverb states that jade must be carved to be a treasure.

No matter how good the quality of the raw stone, without the craftsmanship of skilled artisans, it would always remain just a stone.

Only through carving does it beco a fine piece, and humans are the sa; only after being carved and refined can they truly excel.

Shopkeeper Lin had seen the original Chicken Blood stone.

When handed over to Wufu, it was flawed and damaged, but now, transford under her hands, it had beco a true piece of jade ware.

Shopkeeper Lin had been in the business for many years, and he had seen many fine pieces, including top-quality Chicken Blood stones.

Those were the works of Great Grandmasters of unparalleled renown.

Yet this seal was undoubtedly crafted by soone who, based on the cutting and craftsmanship, must have over twenty years of experience.

However, this Chicken Blood Seal had co from the hands of a girl only fourteen years old, which was naturally astonishing.

If he had not witnessed Wufu at work himself, Shopkeeper Lin might have doubted the seal was carved by soone else.

Shopkeeper Lin turned to look at the girl who was lazily yawning, a spark of admiration lighting up his eyes.

At such a young age, yet able to carve such a fine piece, she truly was a genius!
