The slightly cold morning wind blew in from the French window, alleviating the fervent and stuffy air from the inside crowd’s loud discussions and shouting.

The only quiet section was the stage at the center. Besides the two tables placed on it, there was nothing.

With the sounding of a gong, a group of men in black marched orderly into the crowd. They quickly made created a path through the crowd, allowing the group of elders behind them to walk up the stage. As the largest families in the industry, they made up the respective regions at the convention.

The competitors were all gathered below the stage, with XunMi joining them as they walked up the stage. With elegant steps, she made her way up the platform, not showing an ounce of nervousness nor excitement. In this inevitable competition, she definitely needed to win.

She was followed by An ZiYi. The expression on her face was impossible to hide but she wasn’t stupid to enough to express the extent of her emotions.

Le family had personally challenged her: if Xun family didn’t participate or was defeated, then the results would be obvious.

XunMi nodded towards An ZiYi, and turned away, waiting for the judges to proclaim the start of the competition.

“Today is the Gemstone Betting Convention that occurs once every three years. The first stage will be Miss Xun and An ZiYi representing Xun family and Le family respectively. There will be three matches: selection, appraisal, and splitting of the stone.” After a quick explanation of the rules, they allowed the two to begin choosing their desired raw stone. They could only choose a maximum of three stones. The winner will be decided based on the appraisal and the final splitting of the stone.

An ZiYi confidently rushed towards the region for raw materials. She needed to find the best ones within twenty minutes.

XunMi wasn’t as eager as An ZiYi. She was currently communicating with BaoBao.

While BaoBao was scanning the raw materials, he had accidentally scanned An ZiYi. His scan immediately raised a problem: there was unexpectedly waves of energy currents in her body!

It was as if they were mixed with her soul but he couldn’t tell what specifically was the source of the currents. Thus, he had informed his smart Madam Host.

“Perhaps it was a golden hack that she had picked up when she was reborn. If I’m correct, that current should be able to allow her to know if there’s any precious stones within these raw materials.” From the original plotline, it didn’t seem like she knew much about gemstone betting yet the ending said that she and Le ChenXi had become renowned names in the gemstone betting world. Moreover, the name of the book suggested that she would later become a Queen of the industry, meaning that she understood gemstone betting.

[Host, don’t worry. I’ve made certain already. She can only feel that there is something in the raw material, but she wouldn’t be able to tell what specifically it is.] BaoBao scanned An ZiYi once more and finally received a more reliable answer.

XunMi smiled and walked into the raw materials region. When she was passing by in the morning, she saw a seller’s raw material that looked unique in exterior appearance and color.

BaoBao had also told her earlier that there was energy currents within. Therefore, she naturally wouldn’t miss out on the stone.

By the time XunMi entered, An ZiYi had already picked out five pieces of raw material. But she continued picking more. She wanted to pick out all the stones that she felt currents from before choosing the best three out of the group. Even if she wasn’t certain what type of gem was inside, she was certain it would be better than XunMi’s.

Afterall, if she had a precious stone in all three of her selections, it was bound to beat out XunMi’s raw materials.

XunMi wasn’t impetuous. She squatted down, examining the stone that she had originally had a good feeling about.

In comparison, the crowd was more biased towards XunMi’s attitude. Afterall, who has seen a professional gemstone betting master make their decision with a simple touch of the material? Without even considering the size or the appearance, it seemed more like An ZiYi was an amateur.

Le ZhengTian listened to the comments around him with disdain in his heart.

He had seen multiple times An ZiYi’s method for selecting raw materials, so he naturally knew that it represented she had discovered raw materials with precious stones inside. He had already instructed his assistant buy all of the raw materials that An ZiYi had picked out.

XunMi, Xun family, just you wait. He’ll make them obediently leave the gemstone betting industry.

In the last five minutes, XunMi chose three raw materials differing in shape and size. She placed them onto the display table, taking out her equipment and prepared to split the rock herself later.

An ZiYi was still searching. In front of her piled about ten pieces.

To her, there was sure to be precious stones in all of them. The larger ones would probably hold a larger gemstone inside too.

If other gemstone betting connoisseurs knew of her logic, they would have spit blood.

“Miss An, how about you go first for the second round?” XunMi habitually gave way, preparing to give her the stage for her performance.

If this was a regular setting, An ZiYi might feel quite willing. However, now she only wanted to curse XunMi’s 18 generations of ancestors in her heart.

She couldn’t even be considered a gemstone betting master so how could she know anything about appraisal.

But when she saw that provoking smile on XunMi’s face, she couldn’t bare it.

XunMi really was misunderstood this time. She had merely wanted to show a courteous smile, how was that provocation!

“The three I chose all have different kinds of gems. There’s no need for superfluous comments, let’s just go directly to stone splitting.” An ZiYi absolutely won’t let herself lose here, even if she didn’t understand the field.

The judges were irritated by An ZiYi’s disrespectful behavior. However, she was representing Le family so they still needed to give her face.

However, the opposition was Xun family’s Young Miss. Rumor has it that she was even Boss’ Madam, making the situation difficult for the judges.

XunMi shrugged her shoulders without care, “Since Miss An has spoken, then let’s follow with Miss An’s idea. After all, I would also like to quickly know the results.”

The judges nodded gratefully towards XunMi and called over the splitting stone master.

XunMi declined the help and began taking action herself. The three stones she picked were all carrying green marks. From the exterior alone, they looked a bit too pompous.

Most gemstone betting masters wouldn’t be willing to bet on this kind of stone, as the risk was too high. However, the payoffs might be high too.

“Look, there’s green. Green.” {T/N I think this means they see a green jade emerging from inside the stone}

“The color seems clear, it seems like the quality is pretty good. We just don’t know how big it is, or what kind of gem it is.”

“I think it looks like Furong jade. Although that color is very clear, but the green is a bit light.”

“Look, there’s another green.”

“The gemstone betting master from Le family really is strong this year, two stones are green!”

“No, it’s all three! Look!”

The crowd were in a uproar, their gaze were all placed on An ZiYi’s three pieces of jade.

As expected, with the help of the bright light and the strong sunlight, the green color was even more eye-catchingly beautiful.

The three gemstone betting masters were also shocked. All three stones had gems! How rare!

In the thirteen times that the gemstone betting convention has taken place, the only time that three gems were split was a couple of years ago.
