Liu Zixuan looked playfully at Principal Wu, arms crossed, waiting for his response.

Principal Wu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

If the other party called the police and reported what he was planning to do to Cui Hua, even though it was unsuccessful, he would probably still be arrested.

By then, not only would he have to leave his position as principal, but he'd also face imprisonment.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Liu Zixuan, "Six hundred is too little! I bought this stone for two hundred thousand!"

"You got scammed and you blame me?" Liu Zixuan asked playfully.

"I!" Principal Wu was at a loss for words.

"Actually, I could ask you for money. After all, I can call the police anytime, and in the end, I might lose twenty thousand, but what about you? End up in jail, can you even spend a million?"

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "The reason I'm giving you six hundred is because I pity you."

"Six... Six hundred it is then."

Principal Wu, frightened by Liu Zixuan, didn't dare to act forcibly, worrying that Liu might call the police.

Right now, he could only take the six hundred and then settle the score at the stone gambling auction!

This time, he really had to swallow his pride; he never thought Liu Zixuan would appear out of nowhere, not only stopping him from getting the beauty but also extorting her!

Liu Zixuan casually took out six hundred yuan and threw it on the ground, then picked up the stone, "I need a stone to build a house, I'll take this!"

After saying that, he grabbed Cui Hua and headed for the door.

Principal Wu stood there, dumbfounded, slapping himself, murmuring angrily, "Don't let me get a chance, or I'll definitely teach you a lesson!"

...

"Dr. Liu, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I might have..."

Cui Hua was full of gratitude, feeling deeply apologetic since she once planned to scam Liu Zixuan with her mother. Now, in her time of trouble, he had come to her aid.

Liu Zixuan smiled, "We're from the same village, no need to thank me, instead I should thank you!"

"Thank me?" Cui Hua asked, surprised.

Liu Zixuan shook the broken stone in his hand: "Of course, I got a treasure for six hundred, I should thank you!"

"This... this is a treasure?"

Cui Hua was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "But didn't you just say this was just a piece of ordinary granite?"

"That's right."

Liu Zixuan laughed, "The outside is indeed granite, but inside there's a pearl, a valuable one."

When Liu Zixuan saw the stone, he had already used his X-ray Vision to check it out closely.

At first glance, it looked like an ordinary polished granite, but to his surprise, there was a translucent pearl hidden at the center of the stone.

Liu Zixuan recognized that pearl, having seen one with his beautiful master before, called the Immortal Cloud Pearl. People who didn't understand would use it as a Luminous Pearl, but those who knew its true value understood it benefits sleep and beauty when placed by the bedside!

"Then..." Cui Hua hesitated, actually wanting to say that Liu Zixuan tricked Principal Wu.

Liu Zixuan grinned, already seeing her thoughts, "That's right, I tricked him. For scum like him, beating and scolding isn't satisfying enough, only tricking him harshly until he's upset is the most enjoyable lesson!"

Cui Hua smiled but didn't say anything more, instead asked, "Are we going back to the village now?"

"No rush, I want to find out how much this pearl can sell for." Liu Zixuan smiled.

Currently, he was indeed in need of money, otherwise, he might have kept the pearl as a gift. If it sold well, he could use the money to build a lingerie factory.

The two drove around town for a while, finally finding a small auction house with the help of some locals, with a sign related to stone gambling.

Liu Zixuan said to Cui Hua, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon!"

Cui Hua nodded, as her clothes were torn up by Principal Wu, and now wearing Liu Zixuan's clothes would be inappropriate to go out in.

Liu Zixuan took the stone inside, smiled at the attendant, and said: "Bring your manager here."

"Sir, you can talk to me about anything good you have," the attendant replied respectfully.

"Alright then, help me see how much this stone is worth!" Liu Zixuan handed over the split stone to the attendant.

The attendant took the stone and paused, then sneered, "Sir, are you here to joke? Trying to sell these broken stones here?"

"I said you wouldn't understand, go find someone who does, I don't want to waste my breath!" Liu Zixuan took the stone back and gestured him away.

"If you're here to mess with us, we'll call security!"

"Even if you call the police, it doesn't matter, I'm here to do business." Liu Zixuan spread his hands.

The attendant glared at him angrily, then went inside, and shortly after, an old man came out, smiling as he sat next to Liu Zixuan.

"Young man, my son said you brought two broken stones?"

Liu Zixuan turned towards the voice, seeing an old man about sixty, with a slight bluish tint between his eyebrows, and slightly watery eyes, suggesting some health issues.

However, Liu Zixuan didn't mention it, instead, he handed the stone over: "Old man, if you know your stuff, take a good look through the crack."

The old man, curious from Liu Zixuan's words, pulled out a magnifying glass from his pocket and started to examine the stone.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's an Immortal Cloud Pearl!"

"You really know your stuff." Liu Zixuan smiled, "How much can you give me?"

"How about a hundred thousand?" the old man squinted and asked.

"Fifty thousand!" Liu Zixuan firmly stated.

"Are you crazy? What stone is worth fifty thousand? Robbery?" The attendant complained immediately, dissatisfied.

But just as he finished, the old man interrupted him: "You shut up!"

"Dad, why bother with him, a broken stone can't be worth fifty grand?" The attendant grumbled disdainfully.

The old man slapped him: "What do you know, this is an Immortal Cloud Pearl, much better than a Luminous Pearl! If it wasn't a small sale, even hundreds of thousands wouldn't be a problem."

"Wha... what?" The attendant was stunned.

The old man smiled at Liu Zixuan, "Fifty thousand, I'll buy it."

"Deal." Liu Zixuan grinned, six hundred for fifty thousand... totally worth it. If Principal Wu found out, he'd be mad as hell!
