"That’s right, Sister Qing! Although our Yu Family isn’t based in Xuandu City, we can still pull some strings. Just go for it!" Yu Tianyou waved his fist, saying cheerfully.
An Yiqing looked at the couple with a smile, nodded her head, and warmly thanked them.
After a while, when Gu Yelin and An Zhihang returned, everyone went their separate ways to attend to their own affairs.
An Yiqing, along with Gu Yelin and others, walked slowly through the Dark Bid Area. Her clear eyes swept back and forth through the piles of raw stones, her casual demeanor not at all like that of a professional jade gambler.
The people around were secretly watching the girl and couldn’t help shaking their heads. This was not picking raw stones; it was more like picking cabbages!
An Yiqing didn’t care about that. So far, she had finished scouring two Dark Bid Areas and had carefully noted the codes she remembered in her notebook.
Gu Yelin and An Zhihang always followed her silently, providing protection.
The third Dark Bid Area had fewer people compared to the second and the first, as most of the stones here were considered waste.
An Yiqing scanned the area with her eyes and frowned. There were hardly any high-quality jade among these wastes, let alone top-grade ones. She was about to turn away when her steps suddenly halted, and her eyes focused on the most secluded corner of the third area.
She slowly walked over, suppressing the excitement and doubt in her heart. Her clear eyes shone with brilliance as she gazed slowly toward a small corner pressed under a pile of stones.
She bent down, brushed aside the stones piled on top, and a raw stone about half a meter tall and wide was revealed in front of her.
At that moment, in An Yiqing’s eyes, this large raw stone was emitting a faint red glow, enchanting and stunning. Looking further into the stone, she saw a piece of red, translucent material closely adhered to the inside of the stone skin, gradually occupying all the space within the raw stone!
This was Red Jade! A rarely seen, top-quality Red Jade!
An Yiqing quickly memorized the stone’s code in her mind and covered the stone again without leaving a trace, then casually turned and walked away.
"Brother Yusheng, make a note of that one. We must get our hands on it, at all costs," An Yiqing whispered to Zhang Yuksheng.
Zhang Yuksheng nodded, noted the code in his notebook, and even used a red marker to emphatically mark it.
"Little sis, that stone just now...?" An Zhihang was quite puzzled, his mind filled with question marks.
An Yiqing chuckled mischievously, cooing, "Big brother, just wait and see the show tomorrow!"
"Uh..." An Zhihang touched his nose and stepped forward, gently restraining the girl’s shoulder, consoling, "Little sis, don’t feel too pressured. With the An Family here, see who dares to make you leave Xuandu City! Our Niuniu is the An Family’s treasure, and she doesn’t need outsiders to judge!" An Zhihang was worried that the previous gambling agreement might have had an impact on An Yiqing and kept comforting her.
An Yiqing felt warmth in her heart and obediently nodded her head, then walked with Zhang Yuksheng toward the fourth area.
An Zhihang, watching the girl’s back, elbowed Gu Yelin discontentedly, "You as a boyfriend should also advise her! Guh Siqing has special abilities; little sis might feel pressure!"
Gu Yelin stepped aside and gave An Zhihang a cold look, "Don’t worry unnecessarily; Tutu never does anything she’s not sure about."
An Zhihang choked up and asked with a stiff neck, "What if something unexpected happens and she loses?"
"If she loses, she loses. With me here, who dares to touch her!" Gu Yelin dropped his icy words and quickly caught up with An Yiqing’s
