Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Zhao Yan According to the allocation principle of the Formation Master Guild, the participating formation masters can keep 70% of the earnings, while the remaining 30% goes to the guild, to support training newcomers and to sustain during the “off-season”. Thus, Shi Hao and Shen Yuexin were able to exclusively hold onto wealth worth nearly 1.5 million Immortal Stones. Logically, they should split it equally, but Shen Yuexin clearly understood that this was entirely Shi Hao’s achievement. In fact, without Shi Hao, they would have been silenced by Liu Xinhuan. Shen Yuexin took merely 10,000 Immortal Stones symbolically—as the former second top master of the guild, her appearance fee was worth this price. Shi Hao didn’t hold back either, as he was in great need of Immortal Stones and Immortal Elixirs. Once he someday becomes an Immortal King, he would naturally see these as dust. The Liu Family launched a secret investigation into the matter of Liu Xinhuan’s murder, and internally they were on high alert, with an incredibly tense atmosphere. Just who had their eyes on them? This frightening viper, why hasn’t its true face been revealed yet? Under such pressure, the Liu Family accelerated the handling of their treasures, and waves of Immortal Stones were continuously sent to the Array Master Guild. “Grandpa Shi! Grandpa Shi!” The little girl ran over with quick steps. “What’s up?” Shi Hao asked with a smile, this little girl was clever beyond her years, yet beloved by everyone. “A handsome uncle has come outside, you better go watch over mother quickly, don’t let someone take her away.” The little girl startled him with her words. Shi Hao broke into a cold sweat, laughed, and said: “First, your mother can totally find someone to marry, second, you’re calling me Grandpa, do you want me to marry your mother?” “But Yaya likes Grandpa Shi!” Shen Rong hugged Shi Hao tightly, “Grandpa Shi, if you marry mother, Yaya is okay with you having a little brother, I won’t be jealous.” Gosh, this little girl is mature beyond her years. Shi Hao was speechless, but is someone pursuing Shen Yuexin now? No big deal, he had no romantic interest in this family. Hmm, time for a stroll. Shi Hao wandered out the door, thinking about heading to the Raw Stone Shop to display his skills again. After asking for information, he soon found a Raw Stone Shop. Ever since the decline of Liangjing City, the Raw Stone Shops had dwindled, and this was the city’s only one. Shi Hao walked in and began to slowly select. After advancing in his ten-star status, his soul strength grew stronger; he could now choose close to thirty raw stones at one breath. However, small places Raw Stone Shop hardly offered any great finds. After half a day, he didn’t find one or two valuable raw stones, but being idle, he continued searching. “Ah, senior, you’re here too!” A pleasant voice rang out, filled with surprise. Shi Hao turned his head and saw two people coming into the store, a man and a woman. The woman was Shen Yuexin, and beside her was a tall, leggy young man, with a very handsome appearance. Considering what Shen Rong, the little girl, was saying earlier, this man might well be pursuing Shen Yuexin? Indeed, very proactive. Shi Hao nodded: “Just out to pick some raw stones, perhaps a little treasure can be found.” Before Shen Yuexin could speak, the man interjected, saying: “Sir, choosing raw stones is a science, relying on luck alone is unreliable.” Such a demonstrative urge! Shen Yuexin immediately showed displeasure, reluctantly agreeing to come out with this man, and now she dared to ridicule the idol in her heart? Shi Hao, though, completely ignored him, turning away to continue selecting raw stones. The man felt awkward and turned to Shen Yuexin, saying: “Miss Shen, let’s go.” “If you want to go, go alone.” Shen Yuexin frowned. The man named Zhao Yan was extremely frustrated. You’re a single mother, and I am willing to pursue you, yet you still put on airs? Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 But recalling that Shen Yuexin was the daughter of the president of the Formation Master Guild, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, saying: “If Miss Shen likes gambling on stones, I happen to know a Primordial Stone Master, why not ask him to come and give us some guidance?” He didn’t wait for Shen Yuexin’s agreement but left on his own. His actions weren’t slow; after a while, he had brought a middle-aged man into the store. The shopkeeper rushed to welcome them, respectfully greeting the middle-aged man, saying: “Master Qi, why do you have the time to visit our little shop?” Master Qi chuckled: “The child of an old friend is asking for help selecting a few raw stones, rest assured, I won’t ruin your business.” “Haha, you said it yourself.” The shopkeeper laughed too. If a Primordial Stone Master were to clear a large number of stones from his store, he wouldn’t be able to do business for a while. However, if it was just a few, and they were opened in the shop, provided just one or two revealed stones, the impact wouldn’t be significant. Having said that, Master Qi went to choose raw stones. Zhao Yan seemed somewhat smug, saying to Shen Yuexin: “I came hurriedly this time and couldn’t prepare a gift for you. Perhaps asking Master Qi to select a few raw stones for you would serve as a good present.” Shen Yuexin furrowed her brows: “Young Master Zhao, we’ve just met, so please don’t act as if we are very familiar.” Especially not to let Shi Hao misunderstand. Zhao Yan was still filled with unhappiness. He had put down his airs so much, yet she still played hard to get? Just a single mother acting high and mighty? Why the show? His heart was furious, secretly vowing that when he managed to win Shen Yuexin, he would definitely make her suffer for daring to show him such attitude! Feeling awkward, he didn’t want to speak for a while, and the atmosphere turned cold. After another half a day, Shi Hao had pretty much scoped the whole store and picked out three raw stones. These were among the few that could produce valuable stones. He didn’t choose all the stones that could yield materials, as the selection felt like cheating, better leave some room. At this moment, Master Qi coincidentally finished his selection and came walking back. “Senior, aren’t you going to unravel stones here?” Shen Yuexin had been following Shi Hao, and seeing that he was leaving, she asked. Shi Hao certainly didn’t want to unravel stones here, not wanting to cause trouble for himself. “No.” He shook his head. “Why don’t we have a little competition?” Zhao Yan inappropriately interjected, adding: “It could add some fun.” Shen Yuexin was immediately discontented, saying: “Senior is a Formation Master, not a Primordial Stone Master, you don’t think it’s too much?” Zhao Yan smiled: “Just a little friendly match, no harm at all. Besides, since this gentleman is a Formation Master, even if he loses, why blame him?” He wanted to embarrass Shi Hao, fueled by a feeling of dissatisfaction he couldn’t quite place.
