Otherworldly Carver

"Which piece of glass did Lanxi choose?" Lan Baking asked.

"Of course." Mosi became more and more proud, raised his head and said, "That piece of jadeite is a rare top-quality jadeite. Lanxi couldn't move her eyes when she saw it, and immediately entered the studio."

"Did he say what he's going to do this time?" Lan Baker asked casually.

"He didn't say that..." Mo thought that he was always neglected by Lan Xi, and felt a little uncomfortable, but this time he made a contribution, maybe Lan Xi would treat him better?

"That Wen Yu didn't gamble even a piece of jade?" Lan Baking raised the corners of his mouth, narrowing his slender and crystal-clear eyes slightly.

"Of course! With me here, of course he returned empty-handed!" Moth got excited again, paused and said, "It's not that he didn't gamble out a piece of emerald, it's just a piece of useless scrap. Then It's a pity that it's a piece of material, it's a piece of top-quality imperial green, glass!"

"Glass species, imperial green?" Lan Baking's eyebrows twitched.

"Although it is imperial green, there is no good place, it is all cracked!" Recalling the scene at that time, Mo Si gloated and said, "That piece of wool is not cheap!"

"It's all cracked? It really is a piece of waste..." Lan Ba ​​was relieved, took a look at Mosi, and praised, "You did a good job."

Mosi was taken aback, with a satisfied smile on his face, he looked upstairs meaningfully and said, "As long as Asi is satisfied, no matter how tired I am, I am willing."

The meaning of this sentence is so obvious, Lan Baking frowned slightly, then stretched it out again, and said with a fake smile: "With an outstanding suitor like you, he is naturally satisfied."

Mosi smiled: "What I want to do is not just Lanxi's suitor."

"I said, wait until you graduate from the Beast Academy." Lan Baker's face darkened.

"Although it is common practice to reunite after graduation, if it is earlier, no one will say anything." After making great contributions, Mosi became bolder today and insisted on this problem.

Lan Baked looked at him, although his expression didn't move, but his snake-like gaze made the person's back feel cold.

Trembling slightly, Mosi glanced upstairs, summoned up his courage and said with a smile: "Brother, I really like Lan Xi, that's why I chose the Lan family. You know, just relying on my reputation as the king of stones, anyone The big families all want to win me over."

This sentence likes to be half true and half false. Although Lan Xi has a bad temper, she is indeed beautiful and has outstanding abilities. She is indeed the sub-orc man that Moss is willing to pursue.But the most important thing is that if Moss combines with Lanxi in advance, he will definitely have more bargaining chips when he graduates and enters the military academy in the future, and he will have a better position in the military.

Moss was waiting for Lan Baker's answer.

Lan Ba ​​was silent for a long while, and a smile slowly broke out on his face. He looked at Mo Si and said, "If you have a way to make that sculptor named Ye Ling also attach to the Lan family, you can marry Lan Xi whenever you want." Can."

"Really?" Mosi was overjoyed, but he glanced upstairs and asked with some uncertainty, "Will Lanxi agree?"

"He will agree, you don't need to worry about it." Lan Baker replied affirmatively without even thinking about it.

"Okay!" Mosi's eyes became brighter, and he replied with ecstasy, "I will definitely do it!"

……

Early the next morning, Wen Yu received what Tu Liang sent - a large pack of toilet paper.

"Exchanging old magazines for toilet paper is a new business I opened up." Tu Liang said without changing his expression.

Weighing the package, Wen Yu was sure that there was more than just toilet paper in it. Sincerely grateful but a little embarrassed, Wen Yu scratched his head with a smile and said, "Please everyone."

"How do you say such outrageous words? Aren't you our leader?" Tu Liang became a little angry, "I promised your father to take care of you, but he didn't say that I can't beat you!"

Wen Yu smiled softly: "Thank you, Grandpa Tuliang..."

"You kid..." Tu Liang raised his eyebrows, slapped Wen Yu on the shoulder, patted Wen Yu's hair and said, "Be tougher, Asian orcs like that kind of arrogant type! Although your model has been broken, it may be too late to learn now!"

Wen Yu let Tu Liang rub his head, just smiled lightly, jokingly said: "Uncle Cheng is very powerful and domineering, but there are still no sub-orcs..."

"Don't mention that kid!" Tu Liang became angry when he thought of his son, frowned and said, "On the day of the competition, all of us will go to see how powerful your little orcman is! Don't let us down! "

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Wen Yu was very sure.

Tu Liang smiled, and finally patted Wen Yu's face, turned and left.

Taking the bag of toilet paper into the house, Wen Yu carefully opened it.After removing the toilet paper roll outside, the emerald inside was exposed.

That's not really a good emerald, but it's not bad.A piece of icy waxy jade with floating flowers on a white background, and a few touches of green on it are quite bright, not too big or small, better than square.Such a piece of material is enough to make a decoration.

Wen Yu held the jade with both hands, with a joyful smile on his face.He got up and walked outside the studio, knocking on the door.

The door opened, and Ye Ling was a little surprised to see Wen Yu and the jade in his hand, but then smiled pleasantly.

"Ice waxy jadeite? But the color is very good, and the shape is also very good." Ye Ling hurriedly took the jadeite and carefully placed it on the table, looked down, and said with a confident smile, "I'm sure I'll win."

"I know you will definitely win." Wen Yu nodded, brushing the emerald lightly with his fingers.

Wen Yu still remembered that when his father died, he was still young and was taken to the organization by his mother and father, where he met Uncle Cheng and Grandpa Tu Liang.For so many years, he has carefully maintained the organization day by day, but it is getting more and more difficult to obtain good jadeite, and it is even more difficult to find a good engraver to carve. Such jadeite is really important to the organization. It is rare.

Wen Yu knew that the reason why many orc and sub-orc sculptor apprentices in the organization stayed was only because of their reluctance.After a long time, even Wen Yu almost forgot—forgot why this organization exists.

Sighing, Wen Yu smiled and said to Ye Ling, "I'll leave it to you."

Then he left the studio.

Looking at Wen Yu's back and sighing, Ye Ling looked at the jadeite on the table and touched it lightly.

Ye Ling is not stupid, he knows that this piece of jade must not come easily, but Ye Ling has confidence in himself, he will make this piece of jade more valuable.

It's just that, if that's the case, I'm afraid his idea will have to wait until later to realize it... Ye Ling looked at the piece of top-quality imperial green placed in the corner, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.

Then he moved his eyes to the jade in front of him. Although it was a pity, it was indeed safer.

Afterwards, Ye Ling buried himself in the studio for a whole morning. When it was close to noon, there was a knock on the door outside the studio.

"Here, I'll go right away." Ye Ling thought he was coming to ask him to eat, so he put down his work and stood up.

However, it was Wen Ran who entered the door.

After Wen Ran entered the door, he looked at the table. When he saw the emerald, Wen Ran looked a little surprised and relieved, and then asked, "Ye Ling, where did you get this emerald?"

"Yes..." Ye Ling thought for a while, afraid that Wen Ran would not feel at ease to continue asking, so he replied, "The black market..."

"Black market? Could it be that my brother borrowed money?" Wen Ran suddenly became nervous, walked over and grabbed Ye Ling's hand and said, "You must win!"

"I will." Ye Ling replied, her reaction to Wen Ran was a little strange.

"If you lose, you won't be able to continue carving jadeite!" Wen Ran was really worried about Ye Ling from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had been educated by a big family's sculptor for too long, and regarded carving qualifications as extremely important. There was a trace of fear, "If you lose, not only will the jade ornaments be confiscated, but you will also be unable to buy jade raw materials and finished products... Losing the qualification to carve jade is really terrible for a carver ..."

Ye Ling was slightly taken aback: "What did you say?"

"I said that if you lose, you will lose the qualification to carve jade..."

"It's not this sentence..." Ye Ling frowned and asked, "If I lose, will the carved works be confiscated?"

Wen Ran was taken aback for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes... This is how the battle of honor between sculptors bets on dignity. The winner will get the sculpture of the loser as his own trophy..."

"It turned out to be like this..." Ye Ling hadn't thought of this at all!

"So, you must win..." Wen Ran was obviously worried, and murmured, "I know you are much stronger than Lan Xi, but Gao Yuan told me that the Lan family made such a fuss in the quarry. It is impossible for the Carver Association not to know about the big news! Chairman Su Hua has been manipulating the jadeite market for so many years, but he doesn’t care about it. Obviously, he just wants you to lose!"

Ye Ling's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

He walked to the table, looked at the jade that he had just carved, stroked it lightly, and sighed slightly.That's right, Ye Ling has confidence in her own strength, but Ye Ling has no confidence in the malice in people's hearts.If there is a referee in a game who wants you to lose, then even if you can win, it will be hard to win.

But if you use this piece of jade, you absolutely cannot lose.Ye Ling didn't know how Wen Yu obtained this jadeite, but he saw Wen Yu's reluctance just now.This piece of emerald is hard-won, and must not be left to the other party!

A flame suddenly ignited in his heart, and that little thought rekindled, making Ye Ling's heart itch more and more.Ye Ling turned her head and looked at the top-quality imperial green in the corner.

With such a piece of jade, perhaps, you can take a gamble?

Now that the decision had been made, Ye Ling immediately acted.He grabbed Wen Ran and asked, "Do you know where there are bigger planks for sale?"

Wen Ran was completely dumbfounded by his question, and asked with wide eyes: "What?"
