James Matt looked at Emily Vanose. He felt strange that Emily Vanose did not speak to him. He saw her looking at a guy. He frowned.

“If you don’t have to be here, you can just return home.” James Matt told Emily Vanose.

Emily Vanose snapped out. Once again, she was mesmerised by the man that she just met. She turned back to James Matt with a slight guilty.

“No. I will not return home. I will accompany you.” Emily Vanose was a realistic person.

She knew that she would not get such a handsome man as that man. James Matt was good enough for him. She just could not take her eyes off from that man.

“You seem to have another aim.” James Matt said.

Even though he did not like Emily Vanose that much but seeing her checking another man made him uncomfortable.

“Of course not. My aim is to accompany you.” Emily Vanose smiled.

James Matt snorted and looked in another direction. Without him realised, there was a slight smile on his lips.

Yu Qi and Long Hui did not stay far from those two. So, they could hear their conversation.

“It seems the girl is very clever. She is mesmerised by your look but still can think clearly about what is important to her.” Yu Qi smiled.

Her impression of Emily Vanose improved a little bit. Long Hui did not care much about the woman who did not have any kind of relationship with him.

Not long after that, the announcement about the competition could be heard.

“The competition will start in 1 minute. You will be given one hour to choose 20 stones. After you finished choosing, please submit your stones to the judges over there. Okay. The competition would be started now.”

The people who joined the competition began to search for the stones that they felt were worth it. The experts were making their way slowly unlike the newbies. They were eager to get the stones. So, they moved fast.

Yu Qi walked at a normal pace while Long Hui pushed the trolley. Yu Qi picked the stones one by one. She used the power of her eyes to see inside the stones. Of course, all of the stones that she chose had something worth inside them.

The onlookers saw Yu Qi’s moves. They did not think much of her. They just thought that she was a woman who just came and had fun joining the competition. They would never think that this woman would win the competition.

After half an hour, Yu Qi already collected 20 stones. Yu Qi and Long Hui slowly went to the judges to give Yu Qi’s stones.

“These are the stones that I choose.” Yu Qi said.

“Are you sure about this? You can change the stones anymore if you submit the stones to us.” One of the judges told Yu Qi.

“I am sure.” Yu Qi smiled.

“Okay. We will process this.” The judge nodded.

“Look someone just submitted the stones already. How fast.”

“Yeah. How do they choose the stone like that?”

“From what I see, that woman is in charge of choosing the stones. I wonder if that stone had something worth inside it.”

“She just grabbed whatever stone that fancy her.”

“I don’t know what to say about them.”

Yu Qi heard people talking. She did not understand much of what they were talking but she managed to catch some of it. It seemed the onlookers were mocking her. Well, not like she cares about that.

She grabbed another trolley. This time, she wanted to buy the materials for HuiQi Jade Store. It was her plan from the beginning.

“Look, she pulls another trolley. Does she want to continue choosing the stones for the competition? Is it allowed?”

One of the organisers saw Yu Qi. He also thought the same as the others. He thought you wanted to choose the stones for the competition again. So, he approached her to remind her.

“Miss, you can’t choose the stones anymore. You already submit the stones to the judges.” He spoke in English because he knew that these two were not from Rixie Country.

“Huh? Am I not allowed to purchase the stones?” Yu Qi asked the organiser back.

“What? You intend to purchase the stones?” The organiser asked in confusion.

“Of course, that is my original plan. Otherwise, why do I need to come here?” Yu Qi tilted her head.

“Oh, I see…” The organiser nodded.

He thought that they came here to join the competition. Turned out, they came here solely to purchase the stones. Joining the competition was a pure coincidence.

The organiser stepped back and allowed Yu Qi and Long Hui to choose the stones. The onlookers were curious about this.

“Wait, why does the organiser not stop them?”

“I heard their conversation just now.”

“What is it?”

“They came here to purchase the stones. They did not know about the competition at all. They joined the competition just for fun. So, they want to choose the stones to purchase.”

“It seems they are from a rich family.”

“I think so too.”

“Look at the stones that she chooses for the competition. It is big in size. The price of such a big stone is very expensive. If they lose the competition, they need to pay for all of the stones too.”

People were discussing about Yu Qi and Long Hui. But Yu Qi poured her energy to choose the stones.
