Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 531
Chapter 531: Red Card!
Su Huiqing still didn’t understand why Murong Bing seemed to be targeting her. It seemed like this from the first time they met.
However, she didn’t care and just calmly retracted her gaze from Su Xiao.
She was naturally not looking at Su Xiao, but at the man beside her.
At the thought of this, Su Huiqing lowered her eyes. Previously, in front of Murong Bing and the rest of the Su Family, she had always looked terrified. At that time, she didn’t want to arouse the suspicion of others.
After all, she was just a small fry from the International Association. Because of this, she lowered her eyes, looked up again, and bit her lips tightly—acting like she was looked down upon.
Murong Bing was sick of watching. If Su Huiqing still fought with him like before, he might even look up to her.
However, he never expected that ever since she became part of the Su Family, she had always been like this. He increasingly felt that his previous impression of the Su Family was wrong.
This was clearly a collateral branch of the Su Family who was obsessed with overseas powers.
However, Murong Bing could not be bothered with her. Even if Su Huiqing wanted to enter the Su Family, she had to consider herself. Su Xiao’s current status was not a coincidence. As time passed, Su Huiqing would recognize her.
“Alright, you better think twice before you do anything in the future.”
Murong Bing felt that it was meaningless to continue talking to Su Huiqing. He then left to look for Su Xiao and the Shen Family.
After he left, the humiliation and helplessness on Su Huiqing’s face instantly disappeared. She stuffed her hands into her pockets and lazily took a step forward. Her pitch-black eyes shimmered under the sunlight.
Yu Xiangyang and the rest had seen Su Huiqing’s acting skills many times, but Liu Zhong had never seen it.
His eyes widened as he looked at Su Huiqing. His face instantly turned sunny.
He wanted to ask Yu Xiangyang why Su Huiqing and Murong Bing seemed to know each other, but he forgot to ask.
He felt that Su Huiqing seemed to know everyone who could support half the country overseas.
“Young Master, why are you here?” The Liu Family butler finally found Liu Zhong and immediately chased after him. He didn’t expect to see Su Huiqing and the rest beside Liu Zhong.
Liu Zhong immediately pointed at Su Huiqing and the rest to introduce them.
However, before he could speak, Su Huiqing entered the nearest shop.
The butler saw that Su Huiqing looked unfamiliar and didn’t seem like she was on a mission from that big family so he didn’t care too much about Su Huiqing and the rest. He just thought that she was an ordinary classmate of Liu Zhong’s.
The stone gambling here was no different from those in the International Association. Today was the first batch of raw stones. In this market, naturally, the large stores had a lot of stock. The small stores like where Su Huiqing went to basically didn’t have much stock, and there were even fewer things that could be opened.
Moreover, Su Xiao, Fu Meng, and the rest naturally went straight for the Shen Family’s biggest shop.
Su Huiqing basically knew everything and nothing about stone gambling. The others were the same. Before they followed Su Huiqing, they were just ordinary students of Green City’s Yi Zhong High School.
They didn’t know as much about this stone gambling as Liu Zhong.
“Do you guys need anything?” The boss of the shop knew that his shop was located in a remote area and that the market was small. Thus, he didn’t have many customers. Seeing that someone was coming, he immediately promoted his stones.
Su Huiqing didn’t speak and just casually played with a rock.
“What’s so special about this rock?” Qu Yan had always felt that Su Huiqing was omnipotent, so when she saw Su Huiqing choose a rock, she immediately ran over to take a look.
Su Huiqing just shook her head. “Nothing.”
She was playing with a rock that weighed nearly five kilograms. The shop owner’s eyes almost popped out. He had never seen such a strong lady before.
“Since the thing in the rock is so important, why did the Shen family still take it out to sell?” Qu Yan also touched a rock, but she could not understand it. She put it down and asked Liu Zhong.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong smiled. “Don’t think that it’s so easy to mine stones. For the sake of mining stones, the Shen Family spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. Moreover, this kind of thing can’t be monopolized. Before cutting it open, no one knows what’s inside. Take it out and rely on your own strength.”
Thus, at this time every year, those stone gambling masters were the most popular.
The butler behind Liu Zhong glanced at Qu Yan and muttered. Where did this friend come from?
This was something publicly acknowledged by overseas people. They actually didn’t know about it?
Su Huiqing put down the stone and played with another one. However, this time, the jade on her neck suddenly felt warm.
She was stunned. Apart from being able to store some memories, this was the first time Su Huiqing realized that it seemed to be moving.
Could there be something wrong with this rock?
She lowered her eyes to look at the rock before looking up at the shop owner. “Help me cut this.”
The shop owner glanced at the stone in Su Huiqing’s hand. It was obviously useless. Besides Su Huiqing and the rest, there were others. Anyone could tell that this stone was not good.
However, the shop owner could also tell that Su Huiqing was just a little girl. He opened a small shop and didn’t have any intention of scamming others. Thus, he reminded her, “Miss, do you want to change a rock?”
Liu Zhong also picked a rock over. Seeing that Su Huiqing was holding an obvious piece of trash, he immediately passed the rock to her.
“Young Master!” Seeing Liu Zhong like this, the butler beside him was somewhat shocked.
This was the best stone that Young Master had painstakingly picked. Why did he give it to someone else?
However, Liu Zhong ignored him. He could only continue looking at Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing smiled and shook her head. She said to the shop owner, “Help me open this one.”
With that, she took out a card and handed it to the shop owner.
The others wanted to say something, but when they saw the card in Su Huiqing’s hand, everyone choked and couldn’t say a word.
When the shop owner saw that card, his expression instantly turned respectful.
He was just a shop owner. This was the first time he saw such a card in so many years.
For a moment, he didn’t even know where to place his hands.
Su Huiqing gave him a red card.
These cards were also classified into different grades overseas. They were usually divided into green, blue, red, and gold.
Usually, everyone only had a green crystal card with a limit of 0 – 10,000 spirit coins. Blue was 10,000 – 1 million spirit coins while red was 1 – 10 million spirit coins. There were only three gold-colored ones overseas.
They were in the hands of three top powers.
Most people only had blue crystal cards.
Even Liu Zhong only had a green card. The blue card was in the hands of their family head.
The butler beside Liu Zhong also saw the card that Su Huiqing handed to the shop owner. He rubbed his eyes and realized that the color of the card had not changed. He looked at Liu Zhong with a trembling voice. “Young… Young Master, is that a red crystal card?”
Liu Zhong obviously didn’t know that Su Huiqing actually had this card. He didn’t answer for a moment.
The shop owner didn’t waste his breath and just swiped the card. He then looked at Su Huiqing. “Miss, are you really not going to consider exchanging for another stone?”
“No, just cut it.” Su Huiqing kept her card and stuffed it back into her pocket.
This time, the shop owner didn’t say anything to the others. The red crystal card was at least a million spirit coins. Su Huiqing probably didn’t care about such a small sum.
“Miss, you look like you chose a useless piece of trash. It’s useless for you to spend this money. Why don’t you exchange it for another piece?” A slightly plump man beside her glanced at Su Huiqing, and his tone immediately changed from disdain to respect.
Su Huiqing didn’t look at him. She just knocked on the table and said calmly, “Tsk.”
Liu Zhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
Seeing that Su Huiqing ignored him, the man’s face instantly darkened. In the end, he sneered at Su Huiqing. “You blind fool! If you can cheat, I—Sun San—will write my name backward!”
The shop owner didn’t waste his breath and cut off this piece of trash for Su Huiqing.
Because it was a piece of junk, he didn’t carefully cut it. He just casually cut it in half in the middle. There was no green.
“I told you it was useless, but you didn’t believe me.” The man who had just spoken didn’t leave. He stood not far away and glanced at Su Huiqing in disdain.
The others didn’t look disappointed either.
Su Huiqing listened attentively. There was no anger or any other expression on her face. She just quietly looked at one of the two halves and pointed at it. “Here, cut it.”
The shop owner couldn’t bear to look at Su Huiqing’s expectant face. He sighed as he cut. “Miss, even a master would probably not be able to see this. Don’t mind…”
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that the surroundings had fallen silent.
Liu Zhong’s butler was the closest to him. The shop owner was sure that he heard the guard gasp.
He lowered his head in confusion.
