Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1774: Chapter 1773: Encounter with an Old Friend

”Hiss~~~”

With the slash of the knife, the room instantly filled with green light.

Inside this rough jadeite, a large piece of jade was uncovered!

Moreover, it was all glassy jadeite!

”Wow!”

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd rushed over and couldn’t help but exclaim:

”Oh my god, someone here has revealed glassy jadeite!”

”Such a large piece of glass-like jadeite is worth at least five million.”

”Today’s Jadeite Street is going to set off fireworks!”

”Who uncovered this? Such good luck!”

”...”

The crowd was buzzing with excitement. Generally speaking, managing to uncover glass-like jadeite would always attract attention.

Especially now, with Lin Dong revealing such a large piece of glassy jadeite, it was even possible they’d set off fireworks to celebrate at night.

At this moment, Qin Yitian was also dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected Lin Dong’s rough jadeite to reveal such a large portion of glassy jadeite.

She furrowed her brows and turned to Wei Hu, asking him:

”Wei Hu, didn’t you say that this jadeite was just some scraped green that would definitely not reveal jadeite?”

”So why did it produce glassy jadeite now?”

Wei Hu’s face looked terrible; he hadn’t expected Lin Dong to really uncover green.

And it turned out to be green glassy jadeite!

Faced with Qin Yitian’s question, he was left speechless.

”Seems like you don’t understand either, huh? Not as sharp as this kid.” Qin Yitian muttered softly.

Wei Hu felt immensely stifled, and couldn’t help but glare angrily at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong matched his gaze, then smiled and said, ”I revealed green, didn’t I? So I don’t need to return that ten thousand you lent me, right?”

”Oh, and I seem to recall that you said if I uncovered green, you’d call me brother.”

Wei Hu was furious, his gaze sharp enough to wish he could carve Lin Dong into pieces.

Just as he was about to lash out, Qin Yitian interjected: ”Right! Wei Hu, you did say that earlier.”

”Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and call him your brother!”

Wei Hu’s face turned alternately green and red, but he couldn’t muster the words.

Qin Yitian continued: ”A real man doesn’t go back on his word. What’s said is like spilled water, it can’t be taken back.”

”I absolutely despise people who don’t keep their word.”

”Saying one thing and doing another? That’s like breaking wind!”

”I... I...” Wei Hu’s face turned crimson as Qin Yitian’s words struck him like a whip. Desperately, he tried to explain, ”Miss Yitian, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not someone who breaks their word.”

”I never said I wouldn’t keep my promise.”

He turned to Lin Dong.

Although the anger in his expression had subsided, inwardly he was fuming; he wished he could kill Lin Dong then and there.

If it weren’t for Lin Dong, he wouldn’t have ended up in this humiliating situation today!

Seeing no way out, he reluctantly decided to honor his promise and call Lin Dong ”brother.”

However, just as he approached Lin Dong and opened his mouth to utter ”brother,” Lin Dong gestured to stop him:

”No, no, no. Don’t call me brother. I don’t have any siblings as old as you.”

To Lin Dong, Wei Hu didn’t deserve to call him brother.

Wei Hu’s face darkened even further. It was evident that he’d picked up on Lin Dong’s disdain.

”That brat, does he think me calling him brother is an insult to him?” Wei Hu thought to himself, his anger intensifying.

Qin Yitian chuckled at this: ”Wei Hu, it seems you aren’t even qualified to be his younger brother.”

Wei Hu’s face contorted in anger as his gaze towards Lin Dong resembled how one would look at a walking corpse.

At that moment, Qin Yitian turned her attention to Lin Dong once more and said, ”I didn’t expect you to have skills in stone betting, and it seems your technique is even better than Wei Hu’s.”

Observing Qin Yitian’s admiration for Lin Dong, Wei Hu became overwhelmed with jealousy. He couldn’t stop himself from interjecting:

”Miss Yitian, stone betting is an extensive and profound field of study. That kid likely just had a stroke of luck.”

”Oh really?” Qin Yitian flashed Lin Dong a half-smile and asked, ”Was it luck, or do you actually know the trade?”

Lin Dong ignored her.

Wei Hu, eager to regain face, challenged Lin Dong: ”Kid, how about a little competition?”

Lin Dong shook his head: ”Not interested.”

Seeing Lin Dong’s refusal, Wei Hu sneered: ”I bet it’s because you’re afraid.”

Lin Dong didn’t bother responding.

Wei Hu turned to Qin Yitian and said, ”Miss Yitian, do you see now? I told you he’s clueless, and now he’s avoiding the challenge.”

Qin Yitian glanced at Lin Dong, noticing that he wasn’t engaging in further stone betting but was speaking with the staff regarding the price of the glassy jadeite he’d uncovered.

At this, Qin Yitian thought to herself, ”He’s probably relying on luck. If he truly understood stone betting, why wouldn’t he keep cutting?”

She shook her head lightly and stopped paying attention to Lin Dong.

Wei Hu, observing Qin Yitian’s waning interest in Lin Dong, also stopped paying him mind and shifted his focus to the business at hand.

He turned to the shop staff and demanded: ”Where’s your boss? Get him out here and tell him Wei Hu from Nanyang’s Wei family is here to discuss business.”

The staff promptly made a call.

Clearly, they were contacting their boss.

Shortly after, the shop’s big boss entered.

Spotting him, Lin Dong was momentarily surprised.

It was because he knew this big boss.

Back when he was in Demon City, Lin Dong attended a jewelry exhibition. At that event, he’d met a renowned gem magnate from Jadeite City.

That gem magnate was named Dong Tiancheng.

Lin Dong recalled that Dong Tiancheng had spent twenty billion to win one of his jade amulets at that event.

Unexpectedly, they were meeting again here and now.

”So the owner of this ’Jewelry King’ shop is actually the gem magnate Dong Tiancheng from Jadeite City.”

Lin Dong thought to himself, finally understanding why the shop was named ”Jewelry King.”

The name evidently came from Dong Tiancheng’s esteemed ”Jewelry King” reputation.

As the gem magnate Dong Tiancheng entered the shop, he respectfully greeted Wei Hu: ”Young Master Wei Hu of Nanyang’s Wei Family, your visit truly graces our humble ’Jewelry King.’”

Wei Hu chuckled and replied amicably: ”Boss Dong is too kind. Take a look — recognize her?”

He gestured to Qin Yitian.

Upon seeing Qin Yitian, Dong Tiancheng’s expression shifted noticeably, and he immediately cupped a hand in greeting: ”Miss Qin Yitian, you’ve actually graced our ’Jewelry King.’ My apologies for the lack of welcome.”

It was evident that Qin Yitian’s reputation was not limited to Nanyang—the name resonated widely across the border town of Jadeite City as well.

Qin Yitian returned the greeting with a polite nod and said with a smile: ”Boss Dong is kind. I’m just here for a casual visit.”

The three exchanged pleasantries.

Suddenly, another man entered the shop.

Judging by his attire, he was clearly a wealthy Southern Sea boss.

He had two gold teeth shimmering in his mouth, and upon his arrival, Dong Tiancheng’s expression immediately darkened.

”Miao Lun, what are you doing at Jewelry King? You’re not welcome here.”
