Chapter 712 The Colorful Plump Uncle Lally felt something was off Tortoise couldnât figure it out. She pinched her fingers, but unlike before when her divinations were crystal clear, she now felt as if a fog had descended upon her Pablo Ipoke up. If we canât figure it out, letâs wait for your Daddy to investigate As long as there are traces, we can find our Josh added. âThat female spirit contacted the merchant and even transferred money to him.â
Lilly interjected, âNo need to go through all that trouble With a serious expression on her little face, she extended a finger and began counting the passing people âOne, two, three⦠Whoever I point to is the one⦠Like grain of rice, push to the end, either itâs him or your âThat one!â Lilly pointed at a man wearing a Tai Chi uniform.
Josh and Pablo looked puzzled.
Edward rolled up his sleeves and confidently approached, âAlright, that one? Are you sure? Iâll bring him to you!â
âHey! Stop right there, the guy in the white Tai Chi uniform up ahead But it seemed like the man didnât hear her, he was rushing to catch a bus.
As the bus doors were about to close, he hurriedly got on, and by the time Edward caught up, the bus already departed.
Lilly quietly watched the bus.
âMaster Do you think that rich spirit could be the one that Master Ernest hired?â
Lillyâs thoughts jumped rapidly, and Pablo couldnât keep up for a moment. He hesitated before saying â
only a slight possibility. Can you locate that person?â
Lilly nodded. Tve tracked him.â
Edward exclaimed in surprise. âYou can track with ghost-catching too?â
Lilly nodded again. This time, when they boarded the bus, there was no need to search for a destion Lilly simply directed left or right, and they soon arrive at the antique market Edward followed Lilly, expecting her to directly find dhe person, but incal, she found talledoth on the ground, and set up a makeshift stall spox band Jal coughed, Um Lilly, werenât we looking for that big belliest uncle Lilly replied just wait and se Everyar fell Edward wood in bewilder Then Polly began her lively sales pitch, attracting a crowd of onlookers. When they heard the bracelet was priced at three billion, the crowd glared at Edward and scolded him for shamelessness.
Edward was utterly bewildered.
What did he do wrong?
In the afternoon, the person they were waiting for finally appeared.
The chubby uncle was now dressed in a colorful outfit, adorned with various large gold chains, shining brightly in the crowd.
âLetâs go!â
Lilly swiftly wrapped up the tablecloth and chased after him.
Josh almost couldnât keep up with her quick movements.
âUncleâ¦â Lilly chased after him, shouting at the top of her lungs.
But there were too many people, and Lilly was too small to attract attention.
Edward lifted Lilly and let her ride on his neck.
Lilly instantly elevated herself and called out in her sweet and cute voice, âHey! Mr. Uncle in the colorful clothes up ahead, stop for a moment!â
The chubby man turned around and saw Lilly floating above the crowd.
He was startled and took a closer look, realizing it was a dark-skinned man carrying Lilly who was approaching.
The chubby man recognized Lilly and asked cautiously. âWhatâs going on? If you want me to return the bracelet, forget about itâ¦.
Lilly said, âUncle, weâre not here for the bracelet. I wanted to ask you if you know that you have a ghost on you?â
The chubby man was taken aback, his face immediately turned gloomy. âYouâre the one with a ghost, youâre full of ghosts.â
That statement was not entirely wrong.
Lilly nodded, âYeah. Iâm full of ghosts.â
The chubby man fell silent.
He cursed to himself, feeling puzzled, and turned away without saying a word.
A 200-pound man surprisingly moved with incredible agility and disappeared after a few quick nurs Edward sneered, âOh? Do you think you can run away from me?
He also turned around a few times and saw the colorful higure disappear into a doorway Lilly looked up and read the big letters. âThe Lazy Pingy Josh coughed, âLilly, itâs pronounced The Lazy Pygmyâ¦â
Edward said, âThe Lazy Pygmy is one of the largest jade markets in the country, dealing with raw stonesâ¦â
Many people who enjoy gambling on stones come here to select raw stones, have them cut on the spot, and see if their choices are good or not.
Edward led Lilly and Josh through the door. Drake didnât come today, so Edward had to maintain his self- proclaimed image as the cool older brother.
After paying a small fee, the three of them entered. As soon as they stepped inside, they found that it was just as lively as the market outside, but the items being sold here were all stones.
The voices of the people were not as loud as those in the outside market; most of them were speaking softly, creating a more âcivilizedâ atmosphere.
There were all kinds of stones, with some people setting up stalls and others occupying large areas to sell their stones.
It was Lillyâs first time seeing such a scene, and she couldnât help but be curious.
She saw someone asking a stall owner, âHow much is this raw stone?â
The owner said the stone came from a certain mine and was of a certain quality, and then quoted a price of three hundred thousand.
Lillyâs eyes widened instantly.
Really? Stones could be so valuable?
Then she could just pick up a bunch from the roadside and become rich!
Pablo could tell what Lilly was thinking and said, âItâs not like that. These are raw stones, like the ones you bring back from underground. They may look like ordinary stones on the surface, but inside, they could be Royal Purple Imperial Jade.â
âIf someone who doesnât understand sees that stone, they would think itâs just an ordinary stone. But someone knowledgeable would judge it by the skin of the stone to determine if itâs jadeâ¦. If they buy it for several tens of millions and it turns out to be all jade, worth tens of billions, then theyâve made a profit.â
Lilly suddenly understood.
So itâs gambling!
Gambling on whether there are treasures inside the stones.
Lilly looked at the customer who spent three hundred thousand to buy a stone and shook her head saying, âHeâs making a big loss. That stone is just an ordinary stone with nothing inside She glanced around and said. âThis market is full of stones, but there isnât a single piece of jade!
The market here wasnât as noisy as the outside, so Lillyâs voice wasnât particularly low Once her words were spoken, everyone looked at her displeased, especially the stone sellers The chubby uncle in colorful clothes, who had been carrying the rich spirit, appeared from somewhere.
his face looking unpleasant. âLittle girl, donât speak nonsense. Do you know you have to take responsibility for what you say? You donât know anything, yet youâre saying that our gambling stone market doesnât have real jade. Arenât you ruining my business?â
Lilly looked over and saw that it was the uncle with the big belly who was carrying the rich spirit.
