The Adventures Of The Young Master

"You there." The skinny youngmaster raised a brow in displeasure and looked at Jin Rou, "What are you looking at?"

Jin Rou stared at this youngmaster for a while and said, "How confident are you that you can win against us?"

"What?" The skinny youngmaster did not dare believe what he just heard. Hearing the confident tone of Jin Rou, this rubbed him the wrong way, "How confident I am? I am more than confident! I hired the most amazing master appraiser available here. You think you can win against me?"

"If you're that confident, I really don't care." Jin Rou said, "Because it's still useless. We can win this competition ourselves."

The people around was stumped because of this claim. He said that he could win this! This was a large proclamation in front of an Immortal Emperor!

Zin Shi could not help but suck a mouthful of air this time in worry, she knew that Jin Rou was powerful, but she did not think that he was any stronger than Owner Bu. After all, Owner Bu was an Immortal Emperor for a long time now. She knew that this type of being was very very powerful. If not, why would these people, with high statuses both in cultivation world and the society, become so respectful when they were talking to Owner Bu? Just the actions were already enough for her to understand a thing or two!

"That's a big claim you have there, Little Friend." Staff Li was really annoyed by this young man for some reason.

"Such a big mouth, aren't you?" The skinny youngmaster harrumphed in disdain, "I really don't know how can you say such shameful things in front of everyone."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Whatever. I will just break that unfound confidence of yours and show you the vast world of the cultivation world."

Jin Rou looked at this skinny youngmaster and sized him for a while. He slowly smiled and said, "Break my unfound confidence? You're not even worthy in terms of strength. So don't bother."

"You..." The skinny youngmaster could not refute as his sore spot was hit. He knew that with his strength of Emperor Realm, he was just a weak being here. But what he could do? He was just a 15 years old youngmaster of a very powerful sect. He hated it when strength was being the basis of a man's power. After all, he still did not have that.

But little did he know, that even his ancestors were to personally come out, in front of Jin Rou, they were still ants that can be easily be stumped.

Lang Zing, the skinny and handsome youngmaster, took a deep breath and said, "Let's just see who will win. Shall we?"

Jin Rou just chuckled and did not respond.

After this small incident died down, Owner Bu smiled and nodded his head, "Very well then. I guess everyone is now ready, so let's start the competition! Remember, each person could only choose two stones, no more. But of course, you can also choose only one if you're confident with your choice."

He roamed his gaze for a while and added, "And another reminder, these scrap stones may be worthless in your eyes, but you don't know it may contain a very precious stone, isn't it? So never judge someone by how they look. You never know their real identity, and you don't want to offend him if it's possible, right?"

Lang Zing smirked as he assumed that the message was for Jin Rou. But he was not aware that it was for him and the judging eyes of people around.

Of course, Jin Rou knew this. And he also knew that this old man was not an ordinary being, someone that could even see through him a bit, and this was very amazing. It seemed that Owner Bu's eyes for people were really tempered the hard way. He could not help but be impressed and gave him points for such eyes. After all, with this kind of world where power reigns everything, arrogance topped all the attitudes.

As the signal was given, everyone gathered in the big table with a bunch of scrap stones and started choosing theirs. The master appraisers they hired also started their job and did the appraising. They touched, heard and felt every stone they met as if it was the sea they were looking at. As master appraisers, they should know how to determine an item by using their senses. After all, that's how one should appraise an item. Of course, the preconditions were you knew how to use your senses to appraise something.

While the people were busy choosing their scrap stones, Jin Rou was still looking at those stones on the table without touching or anything. He was roaming his gaze as if he was trying to find something.

And this action was caught by Owner Bu, "What is he doing? How can he appraise something if he doesn't touch it?"

After a moment, he realized something which made his body tremble, "Is he going to appraise a scrap stone just by looking?"

One should know, that unless you have confidence with your eyesight, appraising via eyesight was not possible. After all, even the most magical eyes of Grivexia did not have the ability to appraise something. Of course, not all eyes though as there were some mysterious beings who had the ability to do so.

After taking a stroll around the table, Jin Rou finally came into a stop and picked a single scrap stone lying on the table lonely. This stone was already touched by every master appraisers present and knew that this scrap tone does not have any worth at all.

But why would of all scrap stones, Jin Rou would choose this? Even Zin Shi was confused why this youngmaster acted this way? Judging from the color of this scrap stone, it was already a good word when you describe it as 'bad'.

The people around could not help but laugh in mockery. They were staring at Jin Rou with such disgust and disdain as if he was the most worthless person living in this world.
