Chapter 141: Twinning Materials

  "Still cutting?" Xuan Qi's attitude surprised Luo Zhuangui, but after being surprised, he didn't say anything. It was as if it were a legendary story that could be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and he was just a minor character in the story. Since Xuan Qi let him cut, he continued to cut, and what came out was no longer important. The legend of cutting out a 500 million yuan jade from waste material had already been born.

  Just as Luo Zhanggui began to arrange the stones, Lu Zhuoqun and Sheng Dengfeng whispered to each other. As bystanders, they naturally saw the conflict between Xuan Qi and Zhou Kai.

  Sheng Dengfeng furrowed his brow: "What's wrong with Zhou Kai? He's almost thirty years old, how can he still not understand the situation, and get into a fight with a college student, isn't he afraid of losing face?"

  But Lu Zhuoqun had heard about this: "A few days ago, Zhou Kai and Xuan Qi made a bet, betting on Tian Huang stone, which Zhou Kai was not good at. As a result, Zhou Kai lost, so he was eager to regain his face. That's why he kept targeting Xuan Qi, wanting to find back the face he had lost. It seems that this time he is going to lose again."

  "You're already so big, but you can't even tell the difference between a four and a six. If he's always like this, don't blame me for not being magnanimous as an older brother." Sheng Dengfeng said with a stern expression: "I've always helped reason, not relatives."

  From the various signs shown by Xuan Qi, Xuan Qi should be the heir of that mysterious family. The Sheng and Xuan families have always had some fate, and Old Man Sheng even directly received the kindness of the Xuan family, whether from ancestors or from the future, in Sheng Dengfeng's eyes, Xuan Qi is more important than that muddle-headed Zhou Kai.

  I've already guessed the relationship between the two families, and I also know that Xuan's family is a sacred place for Lu Zhuoqun. Of course, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Following Sheng Dengfeng's words, he said: "The whole 49 City knows Sheng Dengfeng, Sheng Gongzi helps reason not relatives. I can also see that this Zhou Kai is getting more and more out of line. Since he's already like this, I don't mind using a big earthenware gourd to scold him."

  Two people who have been friends since childhood, as soon as they spoke, they already understood each other's minds, exchanged a subtle glance with each other, and then quietly observed the changes.

  Shang Tao's wine has awakened, he is absolutely a representative of the competitive sports world. A pair of still red eyes stared at the opposite side, he did things purely out of interest, the starting point for making friends was not so utilitarian, like black and white thoughts, either pleasing to the eye or not, that's all.

  For example, he now has a good impression of Xuan Qi, but looks down on Zhou Kai, and has heard Sheng Dengfeng and Lu Zhuoqun express dissatisfaction with Zhou Kai. Shang Tao's fist had long been clenched, ready to strike out at any moment, smashing Zhou Kai's head. The world of hot-blooded youth is very clear-cut, either liking or disliking. In Shang Tao's world, street racing is a hobby, a pursuit of dreams, while fighting is an interest, a way to relax on the road to chasing dreams.

  The cutter continued to rotate wildly, although it didn't hold much hope for this piece of material. However, Luo Zhuangui still followed the usual rhythm and began to thin out the material, first wiping a circle on the stone without any mist, then starting to cut down the material. Piece by piece, the stone was chipped away, and what was originally a large piece of material quickly shrunk before one's eyes, shrinking to a quarter of its original size in just a short while.

  "Shouldn't you be telling me about this outfit?" Zhou Kai, who had been listless until then, suddenly perked up and swaggered towards Xuan Qi with an air of triumph, his rear end wagging back and forth as if he had a tail attached to it.

  Xuan Qi didn't mind Zhou Kai's provocation, but instead said to him: "Isn't it a bit too early to say these things now? Who should apologize to whom, let's not jump to conclusions yet."

  "You're a dead duck with a hard mouth." Zhou Kai's eyes flashed with malice, just as he was about to continue speaking, when Lu Zhuoqun's even more sinister voice said: "Even a cooked duck can fly, what else in this world is impossible?"

  These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhou Kai's head. He immediately shut his mouth. Compared to Lu Gongzi's family background, he was indeed not qualified enough. If he provoked him, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

  Just then, the rotating cutting machine suddenly stopped, and Luo Zhanggui's excited laughter came: "The fog has cleared, this piece of meat is cut again"

  "What the heck?" Zhou Kai felt like his mouth could fit a whole big watermelon, such an incredible thing had actually happened, and to make matters worse, he didn't believe it himself, so he personally ran over to take a look. The stone wasn't lying, there really was fog inside. Holding up his flashlight to take a closer look, it turned out to be the old pit glass Emperor Green again.

  It's like someone bought three scratch-off cards, one of which is invalid, and then scratched off two special prizes. Now Xuan Qi is performing a real-life version. He bought a set of three-in-one seedlings, knowing that one block was invalid, but he actually got Emperor Green glass from the other two blocks, this result is too unbelievable

  Just as Zhou Kai was stunned, Xuan Qi quietly walked over and patted Zhou Kai's shoulder: "Now that the jade has been solved, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

  "You dare to scold me?" Zhou Kai immediately sprang up like a lit firecracker, directing abusive language at Xuan Qi: "Don't you see what status you have and what status I have? You think I'll lower my head to you? You'd better take a good look in the mirror!" As someone born with a golden spoon, Zhou Kai had naturally transcended his peers from birth, and also had a sense of superiority that his peers did not. Therefore, Zhou Kai looked down on Xuan Qi, even having some prejudice against him, all because of his extraordinary birth.

  Xuan Qi had not yet spoken when Sheng Dengfeng already spoke up: "Zhou Kai, you'd better make yourself clear, what do you mean by 'status', and what status do you have?" In this small circle, there are also unspoken rules. Although everyone was born with a golden spoon in their mouth, they can't use their birth to talk down to others. It's precisely because of their good birth that they should work even harder. At this moment, Zhou Kai was already at a loss for words and even somewhat angrily pulled out his family background to argue, which had already committed the biggest taboo in this small circle.

  Zhou Kaiyi was stunned and immediately knew he had misspoken. He grabbed his head in embarrassment and said: "I wasn't thinking, I was just speaking out of anger... I apologize to you..."

  The words had not been finished yet, when Lu Zhuoqun interrupted: "You shouldn't apologize to us, but rather stand up like a man, fulfill your promise. Remember that a real man always keeps his word and follows through with actions."

  "This" suddenly cornered Zhou Kai against the wall, he couldn't understand why everyone should be on the same page when facing outsiders, at least they shouldn't hurt each other, but now two of the four big sons not only didn't help him, but also didn't remain neutral, instead they joined forces with outsiders to bully their own people, this isn't right

  On this day, the number of unexpected events encountered was more than ten years. Zhou Kai, who had already been at a loss for words, gradually became angry and his rationality slowly lost. The fire of anger burned little by little, and eventually engulfed all his rationality. He glared at Lu Zhuoqun with wide eyes and loudly asked: "Why do you help outsiders and gang up to bully your own people?"

  For years, the deeply rooted power of the Sheng family has kept Zhou Kai somewhat sober. He dares to question Lu Zhuoqun but does not dare to question Sheng Dengfeng, after all, compared to the deeply rooted and lush Sheng family, the Lu family is relatively better off. If it weren't for his unfamiliarity with Shang Tao, Zhou Kai, who looks like a mad dog recklessly making accusations, would have definitely made things difficult for him.

  "What is an outsider and what is a family member?" Lu Zhuoqun's face turned pale, his chest heaving up and down: "I've always been someone who helps reason not relatives, if it's right then it's right, if it's wrong then it's wrong. This thing you did was wrong, I naturally have to tell you."

  Before Zhou Kai could speak, Sheng Dengfeng's face turned iron-green and he said: "What's going on? Have your wings grown hard enough to dare question you Lu Ge? Since you've spoken so far, let's tear it open and discuss it thoroughly. Who was right and who was wrong in this matter?"

  As Sheng Dengfeng spoke up, Zhou Kai, who still had some arrogance, immediately shrank back. He didn't dare to call out Sheng Dengfeng. If he really provoked Young Master Sheng, he would make it difficult for himself in this small circle.

  "Who just agreed to make a bet? And who actually lost?" Sheng Dengfeng's gaze was piercing: "We, the rascals of the capital, one word is as good as an oath. Once we agree on something, there's no backing down. Losing face is worse than losing one's life. Zhou Kai, you not only represent yourself, but also the entire Zhou family. At this point, you even represent our circle. You're already over 30 years old, how can you still be so muddled?"

  These words seem ordinary, but they are actually sharp and piercing, saying what should and shouldn't be said. Zhou Kai was shocked to the point of sweating profusely. What was originally a simple matter had suddenly become complicated. If he really couldn't figure it out, Zhou Kai realized that his future was at stake.

  A man under the eaves cannot help but bow his head. Having been born with a golden spoon in his mouth and grown up amidst the gleam of swords and shadows, Zhou Kai naturally understood the intricacies of this place. He also grasped the simple truth that "a gentleman takes revenge ten years later, as long as there is green mountain left, one need not worry about having no firewood to burn". Thus, gritting his teeth, he stood in front of Xuan Qi and bowed thirty degrees, saying: "I admit defeat to you."

  "Haven't had breakfast? I couldn't hear clearly?" Xuan Qi wasn't a kind person either, he wouldn't magnanimously let bygones be bygones just because Zhou Kai temporarily yielded, wanting others to remember the pain and not dare provoke him again, so he would ruthlessly use the mentality of beating a drowning dog.

  Zhou Kai understood that he had to endure this time and bowed again to Xuan Qi. He said loudly: "It was my fault for not recognizing Mount Tai, I misjudged you. For my behavior earlier, I apologize. I truly admire you."

  "Whatever!" Xuan Qi said, ignoring Zhou Kai and helping Luo Zhuangui place another piece of old glass with Emperor Green on the table. This material was similar in size to the other one, had a similar water content, and its color was also similar. Even their weights were almost identical, like twins from the same mother.

  Two men sat in the hall, already excited and dizzy. The people around them were all amazed and admiring. Luo Zhuangui was envious at the same time, but also flashed a hint of regret, but he couldn't help it, this is fate. Only Zhou Kai lowered his head, with eyes shining with hatred.
