Anyway, Hong Qi had already come to terms with it in his heart. This was fine. After all, the raw stones he chose were unlikely to yield anything valuable. If he picked a cheap one and it turned out to be worthless, it would be perfectly normal, wouldn't it?
Hong Qi almost wanted to give himself a big pat on the back for his cleverness!
Soon, the stone cutting began.
Because of Hong Qi's "generous" adherence to the principle of "respecting the elderly and cherishing the young," the first stone to be cut was the one chosen by Grandmaster Miao.
