My Sexy Female CEO

The people of the Mu Family were all waiting for the Mu Family Elder's decision. If the Elder said to give, then they would hand over the stone suspected to be an emerald without hesitation.

If the Elder said to resolutely not give it, they would pretend to resist for a bit and then wait for Lin Yifan to defeat them.

None of them combined were a match for the Elder, so they were even less a match for Lin Yifan; thus, resistance would only lead to a dead end.

The heavily injured Mu Family Elder realized there was no one here who could stop Lin Yifan, so he wouldn't make things difficult for his own subordinates and said, "You can have the emerald stone, but you must pay the corresponding price first."

"Alright, how much?" Lin Yifan agreed readily.

He came here to gamble on stones, not to steal, so he would pay.

The Mu Family Elder didn't expect the other party to agree to his demand, thinking he might have been too reckless moment ago.

It was a big deal, and after thinking it over, he replied, "How about ten billion?"

In fact, he had offered at least twenty billion for this emerald jade stone externally, but since Lin Yifan didn't cause trouble here, he tactfully reduced the price.

Witnessing this unscrupulous deal, Xu Anzhi became unhappy.

Because he had previously negotiated with the Mu Family Elder, and he had reserved this emerald stone for a thirty billion offer. But now the other party turned a blind eye, selling the emerald stone to Lin Yifan without considering his feelings.

So he angrily questioned, "Mu Family Elder, what about what we agreed on before? Why did you change your mind halfway?"

"It's not your place to speak, you piece of trash."

Lin Yifan gave Xu Anzhi a deadpan look, showing an unfriendly expression.

Xu Anzhi was both angry and furious, and he clenched his fists, itching to make a move.

But recalling the strength Lin Yifan displayed just now, he suppressed the rage rising within him.

The Mu Family Elder hadn't expected the two to have previous grievances, so everything seemed more straightforward now.

The emerald stone was being sold to Lin Yifan because Xu Anzhi was incompetent and couldn't compete with Lin Yifan, which wasn't his responsibility.

"Little Brother Lin, complete the payment, and you can take the stone. But just a word of caution, the stone is only suspected to be an emerald; whether it actually is internally, we have no idea. So if it turns out not to be an emerald after cutting, please don't blame us."

"I know the rules of stone gambling, bring it on!"

Gambling ten billion for a stone is not a loss. If there is a Green Immortal Ring or a clue to the Desert Dynasty, then it would be a significant gain; the fun of stone gambling lies here, you never know what the next moment holds.

Moreover, the reason the other party dared to publicly claim this stone could very likely be an emerald must be due to discovering some markings or clues, so the success rate isn't as low as imagined.

"Bring out the stone!" the Mu Family Elder ordered.

The Mu Family subordinates dared not slack and immediately brought forward the stone suspected to be an emerald for Lin Yifan to examine.

Once Lin Yifan examined it and decided to purchase, the transaction would be complete.

The emerald stone appeared before everyone.

Lin Yifan circled around the emerald stone, noticing a spot where a layer peeled off, exposing the jade inside.

This dent possibly happened accidentally during excavation, which justified the Mu Family's claim of potentially unearthing an emerald because of this pure jade exposed outside.

This small pinky-sized piece of jade exposed outside was really rare, its purity had reached one hundred percent, the aristocracy of jade.

However, having a small piece of pure jade on the surface of a stone doesn't necessarily imply the whole interior is pure jade, thus it needs to be cut open to see.

Lin Yifan did not want to cut it open in front of everyone because any secrets would then be impossible to hide, especially if Xu Anzhi saw it, he might lose the advantage.

Just based on this small piece of pure jade, Lin Yifan decided to buy the stone, so the gamble of stone gambling originated here.

If you win the gamble, it's a profit; if you lose, it's a loss.

Lin Yifan promptly paid and took the emerald stone into his possession.

Watching the treasure fall into the hands of an outsider, Xu Anzhi was extremely angry but helpless.

He was no match for Lin Yifan, and his sect was far away, unable to provide support.

After acquiring the emerald stone, Lin Yifan bid farewell to the Long Family Elder.

He had his tasks in Ulysses and wouldn't linger around the Long Family Elder.

Seeing this important guest off, the Long Family Elder felt physically and mentally relieved.

When Lin Yifan was around, he behaved cautiously, not daring to act out, fearing he might unintentionally offend Lin Yifan.

"Phew! Finally left, finally free again!"

After the emerald stone was bought, Xu Anzhi saw no reason to stay there anymore.

He gave the Mu Family Elder a glaring look, then snorted coldly and left in a hurry.

The Mu Family Elder was also quite helpless, it was such a huge deal, did you think he wanted to give it up?

There was a significant difference between ten billion and thirty billion; he wasn't foolish enough to give up the chance to earn more money.

However, receiving ten billion wasn't a loss; it just might mean offending an old customer.

After leaving the shop, watching Lin Yifan's disappearing silhouette on the horizon, Xu Anzhi came up with an idea.

Since he couldn't obtain the emerald, he might as well follow to take a look, maybe there would be some gain.

Thus, he called off all his subordinates, used Qinggong, and secretly tailed Lin Yifan.

Elsewhere, Lin Yifan disappeared in Ulysses and arrived in the outskirts.

Here, desolate and covered by trees, was a great place to break open the stone.

So he took out the emerald stone, preparing to cut it open.

But before cutting, he cautiously scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was around, particularly checking if Xu Anzhi had followed him.

He emitted spiritual sense to probe and felt a trace of cultivation power, not very strong but detectable.

"Could it be that guy has followed me?"

To err on the side of caution, he put the emerald away and hid, observing if Xu Anzhi would show up.

Following Lin Yifan's trace to a small grove, the trace suddenly vanished. Xu Anzhi guessed that Lin Yifan should be nearby.

Trailng all the way here, he was full of surprises because Lin Yifan was exceedingly fast, and he could barely keep up. If he hadn't relied on the lingering cultivation energy from flying, he might have lost him.

The small grove wasn't large. If he searched a bit, he might be able to find Lin Yifan.
