Chapter 316 Fu Lu Shou

316 Fu Lu Shou
“You must accompany me next time. Don’t leave an old man like me here.”
Cui Hong: I’m not human?
Gu Man found Cui Hong’s expression a little funny. She felt that he was a good person after interacting with him, but his taste in people was not good.
She was naturally talking about Jia Ling, but she did not know if she was still in confinement. However, she could treat Ah Mai today and take a look at Cui Ya and Cui Xuan’s situation.
These two girls were still young. Gu Man could not bear to see them take the wrong path.
Jia Ling could not do it, but Cui Ya and Cui Xuan were innocent, especially Cui Xuan. It was even rarer for her to be able to maintain a bright heart under such circumstances. She could not be contaminated by Jia Ling no matter what.
When they returned to the private room, Xiang Yin said casually, “Old Master Cui doesn’t seem to like me very much.”
He said this to test Gu Man’s attitude, wanting to see his status in Gu Man’s heart.
Although he did not show it on his face, his ears perked up slightly. He was looking forward to Gu Man’s answer.
However, Gu Man only nodded casually. Such a cold answer was clearly not what Xiang Yin wanted.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Xiang Yin couldn’t help but ask again. Gu Man tilted her head in confusion.
“No. Do you want me to say something?”
Wasn’t it normal for the four great families to have some conflicts and grudges? She couldn’t force the two great families because it was impossible for her to reconcile with them. Therefore, Old Master Cui didn’t like Xiang Yin as she had expected.
Gu Man probably did not think that Old Master Cui did not like Xiang Yin because of her.
As Zhang Yue left, the auction proceeded in an orderly manner. Perhaps it was because of Old Master Cui’s appearance, but the others were much more obedient.
It was only when the third last item appeared that the crowd became a little livelier.
“Have you heard? Next is a stone.”
“What’s there to auction for a stone? Can such a thing be placed at the end?”
“You don’t know this. This stone can produce a tri-colored jade!”
“Since it can be placed at the end, can it be a Fu Lu Shou?”
As she exclaimed, the voices downstairs gradually softened and Gu Man became interested.
Although there was a meteorite with the old man, the more spiritual energy one had, the better. Fu Lu Shou jade contained a certain amount of powerful spiritual energy. Moreover, after the spiritual energy was absorbed the jade could be processed a second time and a considerable sum could be earned.
However, since it was confirmed it was Fu Lu Shou Jade, it was probably not cheap.
“You’re interested?”
Xiang Yin’s voice sounded from the side. Gu Man did not avoid it and nodded slightly.
“Fu Lu Shou jade is rare.”
“Indeed.”
Their conversation stopped abruptly as the stone on the stage gradually revealed its true colors. Indeed, just as the person had said, a small piece of the stone had been cut open, revealing a tri-colored jade. Its colors happened to be red, yellow, and green, corresponding to Fu, Lu, and Shou.
With the manager’s introduction, everyone’s emotions were gradually ignited.
Ever since that incident just now, he had not seen that woman go on stage again.
However, this kind of thing often happened. For the sake of reputation, scapegoats were often pushed in front of others. Although the manager’s actions were detestable, this was common and there was no way to stop it.
When Gu Man saw the stone clearly again, she lost interest.
There was only a little spiritual energy floating on the stone. Perhaps only that piece was the Fu Lu Shou Jade. The rest were very likely all rock.
She picked up the tea that had been filled by the woman behind her. There was obvious disinterest on her face.
“Did you figure something out?”
“I’m afraid that’s the only part with jade.”
As soon as Gu Man finished speaking, the woman behind her said, “Miss, the jade in the auction has been appraised. There will definitely not be a case where only part of it has jade.”
There was no malice on the woman’s face. She only interrupted their conversation to protect the auction’s reputation.
