"The child used to be very obedient . Why is she making a mistake at the crucial moment?"
In the corridor, Xie Qianhe was still angry . He yelled, "Everybody knows that the Glorious Sunlight Group is on the rise and has a huge amount of wealth . There are endless benefits if we can be connected to them . If I were a man without a backbone, why would I say no to her decision?
"But I really want my daughter to make some achievements in the path of refining .
"I thought so hard for her, and yet she believes that I am wronging her!"
"Old Xie!"
Dong Hanxiang held her husband's arm and said, "After the incident of the Temple of Immortals, our daughter has indeed become more mature and independent . Besides, Sand Scorpion saved her life personally, and it's perfectly normal that she admires or even relies on him . Of course, she cannot change her mind so quickly now that you are making a decision for her .
"Besides, Iron Plateau boasts a long, mysterious history . It's not unusual that the secret arts of refining lost five thousand years ago have been found again . To say that Master Sand is a man who knows nothing about refining is a bit too much . I estimate that he must have several ultimate skills . "
"What?" Xie Qianhe glared . "You don't want our daughter to be Sand Scorpion's disciple, do you?"
"Why would I?" Dong Hanxiang found it amusing and replied, "If I hadn't witnessed that incident this morning, I might've considered it . What I meant is that you shouldn't be so rough . Give our daughter some time for her to think it over . Later, I'll make some delicious food for her, and we will have a nice talk . She'll definitely change her mind . "
"This morning?" Xie Qianhe was rather curious . "What happened this morning?"
Dong Hanxiang tried to hold back her smile and said, "I went to the 'Auction of Advanced Meteorite Materials' this morning . In the auction, there was a bizarre stone that was more than one meter in diameter, with red streaks all over its body and bright gold hair on the surface . It was named 'Red Streak Gold Hair Stone' on the inventory . "
"I know that . " Xie Qianhe nodded . "It is said that the meteorite likely contained super-pure 'Radiating Crystal', which makes it one of the most valuable items in the auction . Experts from everywhere were interested in the stone . Didn't we planned to bid for it, too? But we eventually abandoned it because its price was definitely going to soar up . "
"No need to bid at all," Dong Hanxiang said . "After I went there, all the experienced refiners were allowed to examine the stone closely . I was given five seconds, too .
"I scrutinized it with our family's secret arts and immediately sensed something wrong with it .
"The color of the red streaks on the meteorite felt right . But the gold hair was too bright compared with the 'Gold Hair Thousand Threads' that grow along with the real Radiating Crystal, and it was reflecting green when it was aimed at the source of light .
"I immediately realized that it was not Radiating Crystal that was stored inside the meteorite, but 'Grey Crystal', which looks very similar to it!"
Xie Qianhe nodded quickly . "Indeed . The appearance of the Grey Crystal and the changes it brings to the environment are very similar to those of the Radiating Crystal .
" Radiating Crystal is a super material with a high spiritual energy capacity that can mitigate wind-class and thunder-class energy . It is thirty times more precious than normal marrow crystals!
"However, Grey Crystal is merely worthless crap . Their values are totally incomparable!"
Dong Hanxiang said, "Naturally . All the refiners who examined the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone retreated graciously with a mysterious smile .
"Everybody saw through the secret of the stone . But seeing through it did mean that they had to say it out loud . Since it was an auction, none of us were willing to disrupt their business .
"When the Red Streak Gold Hair Stone was officially bid for, nobody raised their paddle . "
Xie Qianhe smiled . "Why would they raise a paddle when they already saw through the stone? It is not important if they waste some of their money, but their credibility will be greatly affected if their eyes are not keen enough and they buy a counterfeit . "
"That was exactly what everybody thought," Dong Hanxiang said . "The Red Streak Gold Hair Stone was about to go unsold, but then somebody raised his paddle . Guess who it was . "
Xie Qianhe rolled his eyes and asked, "Sand Scorpion?"
"Exactly! He jumped out and became the idiot!" Dong Hanxiang slapped her thigh and said, "Sand Scorpion has spent the last two days in the auction purchasing countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures . He made his decision very quickly and never hesitated to raise the price . Everybody knows of him .
"Old Xie, you know that rumors over the past few days say that he is actually an expert of refining who has been hiding himself . Seeing that he bought so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures confidently without batting an eye, everybody almost believed that he might be as awesome as was claimed .
"As it turned out, he spent tens of thousands of dollars on a useless Red Streak Gold Hair Stone during the auction . Like you said, the waste of money was unimportant . What was important was that everybody witnessed his carelessness in person!
"Right now, everybody must be chuckling secretly . Considering that he cannot distinguish the Radiating Crystal from the Grey Crystal, the so-called Master Sand must be very limited in the arts of refining . It appears that his patents, inventions, and Master Xue Yuanxin's remark for him are rather invalid . Maybe he spent a fortune in order to make himself look better . "
Xie Qianhe put on a solemn face and said seriously, "It was wrong of you . Master Sand is our daughter's life-saver no matter what . It's one thing that I don't agree to our daughter's request of being his disciple, but it's another thing that he is fooled by other people . You should've reminded him on the spot . "
"He and I were sitting in two different corners of the auction hall . There was a long distance between us . How was I supposed to remind him?"
Dong Hanxiang rolled her eyes at her husband . "Besides, he made the call quite fast and raised the price by fifty million during the first round, as if he was worried that somebody else was going to bid against him . When the deal was settled, he seemed overjoyed . What could I say then?
