The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 30: Chapter 28: Selection

”Of course,” Ye Feng said calmly, but he displayed strong confidence.

”Very well! Let you fight for me!” Lin Zhen was excited, knowing Ye Feng’s capabilities. If Ye Feng said it was possible, then it definitely was!

”What big words! Who do you think you are, to compare yourself with my grandfather?” At that moment, a woman in her early twenties stepped forward, looking coldly at Ye Feng with disdain in her eyes.

The woman was petite, around five feet five, with long, shiny black hair that fell to her shoulders.

Her face was exquisitely flawless, giving off an impression of vulnerability yet filled with a strong and confident demeanor.

This woman was none other than Li Linfeng’s granddaughter, one of the four beauties of Lin Tian City, Li Xue’er.

Li Linfeng sneered and looked at Lin Zhen, asking, ”Sir Lin, what is this? Are you trying to fool me with some punk? Are you afraid of losing face and dare not accept the challenge?”

”Nonsense! What punk? I’ll have you know, this is my foster grandson, Ye Feng. Although he doesn’t share my surname, I treat him as my own grandson. I intend to let him inherit everything from the Lin Family. He is fully capable of representing me. Or are you just scared!” Lin Zhen retorted loudly, full of confidence in Ye Feng and his praise for him barely concealed.

Because Lin Zhen had promised Lin Shiyu and Ye Feng that, unless they wished otherwise, he wouldn’t announce their relationship publicly.

So, at this moment, Lin Zhen was declaring Ye Feng as his foster grandson.

”What!” Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s declaration, everyone present was shocked that Lin Zhen had said he would let Ye Feng inherit the Lin Family estate.

Whether Lin Zhen’s statement was true or false, it certainly illustrated Ye Feng’s significant place in his heart, clearly showing he wasn’t just some random punk.

”Alright! In that case, let him come!” Li Linfeng agreed, ”However, it won’t be me; it will be my granddaughter! My granddaughter has been by my side since she was twelve and has a deep understanding of stone gambling now. Today, let’s not compete with the old generation. Let the younger generation compete and show everyone, not only is the older generation of the Lin Family strong, but so is the younger generation!”

”Hmm! In that case, if you lose, you must admit that the Li Family is inferior to the Lin Family. If I lose, I will admit that the Lin Family is inferior to the Li Family. How about that?”

”Very well!” Lin Lifeng agreed instantly, full of confidence in his granddaughter.

”The time limit is twenty minutes, and within the entire gambling stone field, all the raw stones can be chosen, any priced under ten million. Is that acceptable?” Li Linfeng asked Lin Zhen.

”Okay!” Lin Zhen nodded.

”Good, then let’s start now!” Li Linfeng announced.

Ye Feng and Li Xue’er both began selecting jadeite raw stones; their competition immediately drew the attention of many onlookers.

Li Xue’er meticulously selected each stone, closely observing its skin, texture, and patterns very professionally.

Seeing this, people nodded in admiration since women proficient in stone gambling were indeed rare.

In contrast, Ye Feng went to one display and after merely glancing, immediately moved on without even pausing to look.

”Ha ha!” Li Linfeng laughed loudly: ”Sir Lin, isn’t your foster grandson going to look properly? Just a glance won’t suffice. I thought this kid had some skills to be favored by you. It turns out there’s nothing special. Your judgment is really poor. I think you’ve lived these years in vain, getting worse as you age!”

”You!” Lin Zhen, furious and red-faced. Li Linfeng’s words were harsh but somewhat reasonable. How could Ye Feng possibly select any good stones with just such a glance?

Lin Zhen looked at Ye Feng anxiously and asked, ”Ye Feng, are you sure about this?”

Ye Feng smiled slightly, ”Don’t worry...”

Then, Ye Feng began to swiftly scan the area.

For Ye Feng, stone gambling wasn’t really gambling; it was merely selecting stones.

Although Ye Feng couldn’t see whether there was jadeite in the raw stones, he could sense whether there was Spiritual Energy within them.

Ye Feng had concluded a truth: not all raw stones with jadeite possess Spiritual Energy, but those with Spiritual Energy invariably contain jadeite—and not just any jadeite, but high-quality jadeite.

Ye Feng quickly swept through the stones. In no time, he had examined all the jadeite raw stones in the entire field.

”Ah...” Ye Feng shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Ye Feng’s behavior, people sneered, their eyes showing mockery.

Li Xue’er coldly looked at Ye Feng, ”If you don’t understand, don’t pretend you do. Now you’re like a headless fly, buzzing around aimlessly, and in the end, you won’t achieve any results!”

Li Linfeng laughed triumphantly, ”Ha ha, Sir Lin, it seems you’re set to lose face today!”

Lin Zhen became even more anxious: ”Ye Feng, are you really capable?”

Ye Feng smiled slightly, ”Grandpa Lin, don’t worry, I’ll definitely win. My shaking head and sighing isn’t because I can’t find any jadeite-containing raw stones; it’s because the quality of the jadeite raw stones here is too low and none meet my expectations.”

Indeed, Ye Feng had discovered several raw stones with Spiritual Energy,但 the Spiritual Energy contained within them was insufficient to help heal his injuries. This was the source of his disappointment and the reason for his shaking head and sighs.

”Nonsense!” Li Linfeng was immediately infuriated by Ye Feng’s words: ”Kid, you dare talk nonsense! This gambling stone field is the best in Linnan Province, second to none. You dare say there aren’t any high-quality raw stones here!”

”Indeed, the best-valued jadeite raw stones here are at most the size of watermelons, purple jadeite at that. Although there’s Emperor Green, the amounts are too small, and it indeed doesn’t count as top-notch,” Ye Feng said calmly, shaking his head.

”Bullshit, utter nonsense! Are you saying you’ve looked around and now roughly know the quality of all the jadeite in all the raw stones here?” Li Linfeng challenged.

”Correct!” Ye Feng nodded lightly, treating his statement as a very ordinary matter and nothing worth boasting about.

”Arrogant! Is this kid insane? Does he think he is the God of Stone Gambling?”

”Yeah, even machines can’t detect jadeite in raw stones, and he claims he can tell—it’s just full of hot air!” The crowd discussed, thinking Ye Feng was a fool.
