Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Do You Dare to Kill Me?

After Fei Xiang finished speaking, the entire hall erupted into an uproar. Everyone stared at Ye Xiu in shock. This kid had used Jin Lian’s money to buy a worthless rock and presented it to Jin Peng as a birthday gift.

This wasn’t just humiliating Jin Peng—this was an insult to the entire Jin Family!

”Brother Jin, Wang Dazhuang used your family’s money to buy a worthless rock just to humiliate the Jin Family. His intentions are truly malicious!” Fei Yihong feigned outrage. He was inwardly ecstatic, thinking he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger now. The enraged Jin Peng would surely eliminate this kid for him.

”Grandfather Jin, I believe Wang Dazhuang only got close to Jin Lian so he could humiliate you today. He wants to use the occasion of your eightieth birthday to anger you to death,” Fei Xiang added venomously, stoking Jin Peng’s rage.

Fei Xiang’s father stepped forward and berated Jin Lian, ”What is the meaning of this? Wang Dazhuang is an ignorant country bumpkin who doesn’t know any better, but do you? He’s blatantly trying to anger Elder Jin to death by gifting him a worthless rock, and you, his granddaughter, didn’t even think to stop him?”

”A daughter’s loyalty is fleeting once she’s grown,” Fei Xiang’s mother added with a sneer. ”Jin Lian must be so captivated by Wang Dazhuang’s sweet talk that she’s forgotten all about her family.”

The other members of the Fei Family chimed in, each with words harsher than the last, all aimed at provoking Jin Peng.

The expressions on the faces of the Jin Family members turned grim. They looked as if they wanted to tear Wang Dazhuang limb from limb. However, the Jin Family’s code of conduct was strict; as long as Jin Peng remained silent, none of them dared to speak out of turn.

”Mr. Wang, what do you mean by this?” Jin Peng asked, his face a perfect mask. Not a single trace of emotion could be seen.

This ability to control his emotions earned Ye Xiu a measure of admiration.

”Elder Jin, I’ve heard you are an avid collector, so you must have some unique insights into stone gambling. Please, come take a closer look. See for yourself if this Number One rough stone is truly worthless,” Ye Xiu said with a faint smile.

”Look at my ass!” Fei Xiang cursed loudly. He turned to Jin Peng and pleaded, ”Grandfather Jin, don’t let Wang Dazhuang fool you! I’ll stake my life on it—that’s nothing but a worthless rock.”

Ye Xiu didn’t press Jin Peng to examine the stone further. If a piece of trash like Fei Xiang could sway Jin Peng’s judgment, then the man’s character was merely average, and he wasn’t someone who could be entrusted with important matters.

”Aunt Liu, please bring me a high-intensity flashlight and a magnifying glass,” Jin Peng ordered, ignoring Fei Xiang. Although he was angry and had a poor impression of Wang Dazhuang, he had not lost his senses. He didn’t know Wang Dazhuang, but he knew his granddaughter, Jin Lian, very well. He simply couldn’t believe that she would bring someone here just to anger him.

”Right away!” The housekeeper, Aunt Liu, quickly returned with the requested items.

Jin Peng walked over to the Number One rough stone and began to inspect it with intense concentration, using all his experience in stone gambling to determine if it was a treasure or just a rock.

After a full ten minutes, he looked up at Ye Xiu. ”Mr. Wang, judging from the cracks on this rough stone, there is indeed some green inside, but the quality appears abysmal. Even if there’s jade within, it would be fragmented or just a tiny piece. The 15 million you borrowed from Jin Lian has gone down the drain. This stone is worth 20,000 at the absolute most.”

He had chosen his words carefully. While Fei Xiang had said Ye Xiu used Jin Lian’s money, Jin Peng had phrased it as money *borrowed* from her, implying that Ye Xiu was expected to pay it back.

”See? I knew it! With my eye for these things, I couldn’t be wrong. It’s just a worthless rock,” Fei Xiang gloated smugly. ”Wang Dazhuang, your 15 million is gone!”

”Dare to make another bet with me?” Ye Xiu asked calmly.

”Bet on what?” Fei Xiang shot back.

”Let’s bet on whether the Number One rough stone is a precious gem. If I lose, I’ll kill myself on the spot. If you lose, you do the same. Do you dare?” Ye Xiu asked with a taunting smile.

Everyone present was stunned by Ye Xiu’s wager. The man was truly a lunatic to bet his life against Fei Xiang’s.

”Fine! I’ll take that bet!” Fei Xiang agreed without hesitation. There was no way he could lose. Besides, even if he did, Ye Xiu wouldn’t dare kill him. And even if Ye Xiu won, he wouldn’t live to see the sunrise tomorrow.

”Ladies and gentlemen, please step away from the Number One rough stone!” Ye Xiu announced loudly.

Instantly, the crowd around the stone scattered, completely baffled by what he was planning to do.

”Listen up, Ugly. Open those dog eyes of yours and watch carefully,” Ye Xiu sneered. Suddenly, an overwhelming torrent of Blade Qi erupted from his body, enveloping the rough stone like a ferocious storm.

Dust billowed from the stone’s surface. But strangely, it didn’t spread. Instead, it seemed to be guided by an invisible hand, flying out of the courtyard and dissipating.

Upon seeing this, everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

A Martial Artist? Wang Dazhuang was a Martial Artist!

Furthermore, to be able to carve stone from a distance with released energy alone... this was no ordinary Martial Artist. This had to be a high-level one.

”Grandfather, what do we do?” Fei Xiang cried, running to Fei Yihong in a panic.

”We’ve really kicked an iron plate this time.” Fei Yihong’s face turned as dark as thunder. He had never imagined that the lowly peasant he’d threatened—swearing he wouldn’t live to see the morning—was at least an Eighth Grade Grandmaster.

But he hadn’t lost all hope. He comforted his grandson, ”Don’t be afraid. Remember, we have the Ye Family backing us. Even if Wang Dazhuang is a Great Grandmaster, he wouldn’t dare lay a hand on us.”

At the mention of the Ye Family, the panic in Fei Xiang’s heart vanished, replaced once more by a taunting smirk.

”Jin Lian, what is Wang Dazhuang’s true background?” Jin Peng whispered, leaning close to his granddaughter.

”He won’t let me say,” Jin Lian replied with a bitter smile. ”Grandfather, it’s a good thing you didn’t speak harshly to him. Otherwise, our Jin Family might have been annihilated.”

Jin Peng drew a sharp, cold breath. Was this Wang Dazhuang’s backing really that terrifying?

WHOOSH!

Just then, the invisible Blade Qi in the courtyard vanished.

In its place stood a colossal piece of beautiful jade, milky white streaked with vibrant green, revealed for all to see.

”Such a huge piece of jade?”

”That must be two meters tall! It has to weigh seven or eight tons, right?”

”The value of this jade is immeasurable! The raw material alone must be worth at least ten million. After it’s properly carved, its value could easily exceed a hundred million!”

Everyone was left speechless, mesmerized by the magnificent jade.

”I completely misjudged it,” Jin Peng said, his face burning with shame.

”This... this is impossible! How can this be?” Fei Xiang stammered in disbelief.

Standing by the entrance, Old Wang, who had just been enjoying the show, was utterly dumbstruck. That worthless rock he’d bought for 30,000 to scam someone with actually held such a massive treasure inside? What a catastrophic loss! He was heartbroken.

”Ugly, you’ve lost,” Ye Xiu said coldly, turning to face Fei Xiang.

”So what? You think you can kill me?” Fei Xiang shrugged, completely unafraid. ”Wang Dazhuang, you probably don’t know this, but the Fei Family has an excellent relationship with the Ye Family of Yunluo City. I grew up with Ye Xuan, the young master of the Ye Family. We’re as close as brothers. You lay a hand on me, and I guarantee the Ye Family will slaughter your entire family to avenge me.”

”The Ye Family?” A chilling smile played on Ye Xiu’s lips.

”That’s right! The Ye Family!” Fei Xiang swaggered right up to Ye Xiu and looked at him with contempt. ”I, Fei Xiang, am a man of my word. I always honor my bets. If you’re not afraid of the Ye Family massacring everyone you hold dear, then go on, take my life. Come on, use all your strength and strike me right in the heart! Do it! What are you waiting for? Kill me!”
