"Kid, let me go!"
Qian Long, seeing Li Yang make a move, was furious and glared at Li Yang.
"How dare you touch my woman, you're tired of living."
Li Yang, with a blank expression, stared coldly at him and commanded, "Apologize to Xiao Qing immediately, and I'll let you off. Otherwise, you'll die a terrible death."
"Kid, you dare to offend me. Do you believe I'll call people to deal with you?" Qian Long's face turned red with anger, and he glared fiercely at Li Yang.
"Call people to deal with me? Do you have the ability?"
Li Yang sneered dismissively, then suddenly kicked him in the chest. His body flew back two meters with a thud and he fell to the ground in pain.
"You, you actually dare to hit me, you're finished today!"
Qian Long clutched his chest and struggled to get up from the ground, glaring at Li Yang and threatening him.
Li Yang smiled calmly and shrugged, "If you're not afraid of Situ Jue's people saying you're causing trouble, then by all means, find someone to get revenge. I'll be waiting."
"You..."
Qian Long suddenly remembered that this was not his territory today.
There were countless experts attending the Jade Conference today. If he affected the proceedings of the conference because of himself, the Situ family would likely not let him off.
The Qian family had some connections with the Situ family, but in terms of strength, the Qian family was no match for the Situ family.
Thinking of this, he glared at Li Yang and said, "Kid, don't get cocky. I'll settle this score with you slowly today."
"You won't have the chance. You won't live for three days. By the time you seek revenge, you'll likely already be a corpse," Li Yang said dismissively.
"You, you dare to curse me!" Qian Long's anger flared again, and he glared fiercely at Li Yang.
"Believe it or not, I've already warned you. By the way, I saw on your business card that you're the young master of the Gambling Stone City. You must be very confident in your gambling stone skills. How about we make a bet?" Li Yang's eyes rolled as he spoke.
"What do you want to bet?"
Qian Long was secretly delighted. You want to play gambling stones with me? I'll win until you die.
Even if I can't beat you, today through gambling stones, I can make you submit to me.
"It's very simple. We'll bet on that piece of jade you said had green earlier. If I appraise it and find no green inside, let's cut this piece of jade open and see who is telling the truth."
"If you win, I'll lose one hundred million to you. If you lose, you'll also lose one hundred million to me," Li Yang said calmly.
"Alright!"
Qian Long was overjoyed upon hearing this!
He thought this kid was walking into his own doom, and a hundred million was being delivered to him for free. Why wouldn't he take it?
But Li Yang was thinking the same thing at this moment.
He confidently finished the bet with Qian Long and then asked Qian Long to pay for the stone.
If jade was cut from it, all the jade would belong to Qian Long, and Li Yang would not take a single cent.
A few minutes later, the stone was sent by Qian Long's men to the stone cutting area of the Jade Exhibition.
The Jade Conference had only just begun for less than ten minutes, and already someone was cutting a stone in the cutting area, causing a sensation throughout the venue.
Even many appraisal grandmasters walked over to join in the fun.
"Where did this wild kid come from, daring to bet with Young Master Qian? Isn't he tired of living?"
"Yeah, Young Master Qian is a famous young appraisal grandmaster in the Northern Province, and he's known as the Gambling King in the gambling stone world. This kid actually dares to gamble with Young Master Qian. He's bound to lose today."
"There are always some young people who don't know their place, aiming too high, and thinking they're invincible after learning a little. This piece of jade is clearly a high-quality item. This kid still dares to gamble, truly seeking death."
Before the stone cutting machine even started working, people at the scene were already mocking Li Yang.
Everyone recognized the identity of this Young Master Qian at a glance, while Li Yang was just an unknown nobody at today's Jade Conference.
Li Yang remained expressionless. The more they mocked him, the better it was for his reputation to spread.
"Kid, do you see? Everyone here supports me. You can still admit defeat now. As long as you kneel down and kowtow a few times, I can spare you," Qian Long said smugly.
"No need. I, Li Yang, have never regretted a bet. I just hope you don't cry when you lose later."
Li Yang said dismissively, then looked at the stone cutter and said, "Master, my time is precious. Let's start cutting now."
"Alright!"
The stone cutter readily agreed and first took a pen for Qian Long to draw a line, after which the stone cutter would cut according to the line he drew.
This allowed the stone cutter to cut precisely according to the customer's requirements, minimizing misunderstandings.
As the stone cutting began, everyone's eyes widened, staring intently at the scene.
Qian Long watched the stone being cut with a confident expression, but after the first cut, the smile on his face vanished.
Because with this cut, things did not develop as he had expected. There was no green inside at all, only a gray expanse of sand and stone.
"What's going on?"
Qian Long thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and quickly looked at the stone again, only to find that there was still no green.
Fang Xiaoqing, who was beside him, was holding her breath. Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Brother Li Yang, you're amazing. You were right, there's no green inside."
"It's not finished yet. I'll let you see this guy's complete despair later," Li Yang said with a smile.
"Okay." Fang Xiaoqing nodded, believing Li Yang's words a thousand times over.
Seeing Li Yang's arrogant demeanor, Qian Long snorted, "Kid, don't be arrogant. I'll definitely cut out green with the next cut, and make you lose convincingly."
"Then let's do it. Good luck," Li Yang said dismissively.
Qian Long turned his head and asked the stone cutter to make the second cut.
The stone cutter's technique was extremely skillful. Wherever he pointed, the blade cut precisely.
When one cut was made, there was still no green inside the jade, disappointing the crowd once again!
Even the gambling stone grandmasters were greatly surprised!
They didn't think this stone wouldn't yield anything. Judging from the quality and translucency of the raw stone, it was definitely a high-quality item.
Even if top-grade jade couldn't be cut from it, ice-grade and ordinary-grade jade should have been possible.
But reality had slapped everyone present in the face!
"Young Master Qian, are you willing to admit defeat now? The stone has already been cut in half, and it's still the same sandy structure inside. Judging from the raw stone's structure, other parts are unlikely to yield any green," Li Yang turned back and asked the despairing Qian Long.
"I don't believe it. This raw stone has such good quality, it's impossible for there to be no green. Give me the stone cutting machine."
Qian Long couldn't believe he would lose this bet. Losing money was a small matter, but if he lost, the Qian family's reputation would also be ruined!
Unconvinced, he walked forward and personally picked up the stone cutting machine to start cutting.
