.The woman red at the man behind Yu Qi and Long Hui. Yu Qi did not want to take part in this anymore. She pulled Long Hui to the people who guarded the entrance and paid the fee for her and Long Hui.


    They entered the hall right now. It was very big. It seemed it was not a single shop inside the hall. The hall contained multiple shops which sold the stones. Yu Qi and Long Hui walked around the hall.


    "Attention everyone. Thepetition will be starting soon. If you are interested, you can register at the counter over there." The announcement startled Yu Qi.


    "Thepetition?" Yu Qi looked at Long Hui.


    "Let''s go and ask someone at the counter." Long Hui said.


    "Hmm..." Yu Qi nodded.


    So, they went to the counter.


    "Excuse me, can you tell me a bit about thepetition?" Yu Qi asked someone at the counter.


    "Oh, you must be a foreigner. Wee... Wee... I am Manager Andrew." Someone looked at Yu Qi and Long Hui.


    "Yes, we are from Binhai Nation. I happen to see the Hall of Auction and decide to take a look." Yu Qi nodded.


    "Owh... You must be lucky then. We just found the rarest blue jade. The size is about the size of a ser ball. We decided to put the jade as the prize of the stone bettingpetition." Manager Andrew said.


    "Stone bettingpetition?" Yu Qi''s eyes lifted up.


    "It seems this youngdy is interested in stone bettingpetition?" Manager Andrew saw the excitement in Yu Qi''s eyes.


    "Yes. But may I ask you something?" Yu Qi asked.


    "Sure. Ask me anything." Manager Andrew nodded.


    "Hmm... Why don''t you sell the jade? I bet it can arrive at the highest price ever." Yu Qi was confused about that.


    Blue jade was the rarest color of jade. She was sure the jade lover would die to have the blue jade.


    Manager Andrew chuckled. "It depends on our owner. He asks us to put this jade for thepetition as the prize. Well, our owner is indeed a weird person. He probably did not think much about the jade. But he likes the excitement."


    Yu Qi and Long Hui were speechless a little bit when hearing about the person''s temper.


    "Can you exin about thepetition?" Yu Qi asked.


    "You can register and pay for the fee. Then, wait for thepetition to be started. You have one hour to choose 20 stones that you think contain something valuable from any shop in this hall. If you win, you get the prize. If you lose, you need to pay for every stone that you choose." Manager Andrew made it clear.


    "What about the jade that we get from the chosen stone?" Yu Qi asked again.


    "You can take it with you or sell them back to us." Manager Andrew said.


    If you just looked at the surface, you would think that this hall of auction would loss. But if people thought deeply about that, they would see the whole picture.


    People who were interested in the blue jade would participate in thepetition. They would have to pay the fee. Then, after thepetition, the lost party would have to pay for the stones.


    "Hmm... I will register for thepetition." Yu Qi said.


    "You will participate? Not him?" Manager Andrew was surprised.


    "Yes." Yu Qi nodded.


    "Oh... Sure... Let me register your name." Manager Andrew said.


    "Tang Yu Qi is my name." Yu Qi told him.


    Manager Andrew processed Yu Qi''s registration. Yu Qi paid up the fee andpleted the registration.


    "Okay. I need to wait for the announcement. You can walk around first." Manager Andrew handed out a card.


    Right after Yu Qipleted the registration, the woman from earlier came to the counter. Yu Qi was a little bit surprised when she saw the woman here. The woman did not want to pay the entrance fee earlier. If she was here meaning she probably paid the fee or forced herself in. But the second option was mostly not.


    The woman was currently being apanied by a man. The man stepped forward and registered himself for thepetition.


    "James, how long we are going to stay here?" Emily Vanose asked.


    "It will be a long time. If you are bored, you can leave first." James Matt looked at Emily Vanose.


    "No. My father asks me to apany you. I will do it." Emily Vanose said.


    James Matt sighed. He did not want Emily Vanose to be here with him. But his father told him that he needed to let Emily Vanose do whatever she wanted. Like this incident at the entrance.


    He came here multiple times before. So, he knew about it. He forgot something in his car and decided to take it. So, he told her to wait at the entrance. He did not know that when he returned, Emily Vanose would argue with the people about the entrance fee.


    He immediately pulled Emily Vanose and apologized to the people. The people seemed to remember James Matt because he came here before. So, they slid it off due to James Matt''s face.


    After paying the fee, they entered the hall. James Matt already knew that today would have a stone bettingpetition. The prize for thepetition was blue jade. His father asked him to get the blue jade. So here he was.
