"Yo, you two still dare to come back? Did you not find any spiritual jades and found a pile of stones to make up the numbers? "Jia Huoyan immediately retorted sarcastically.
Jia Musen glanced at Jia Huoyan and did not argue with him. He directly handed the backpack to the tallying staff and then apologetically said to Jia Jinyan, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, we came back too late and made you wait for so long!"
"No problem, the time is just right, we can start counting now." Jia Jinyan waved his hand.
The tallying staff carefully counted the number of spiritual jades in the backpack and looked at Jia Musen with some surprise. He picked up a pen and filled in the form a few times, then reported, "Jia Musen turned in 98 spiritual jades this time. Adding the 65 from before, there is a total of 163 spiritual jades!"
"As expected … What? This … This is impossible! How can he have so many spiritual jades? You must have counted incorrectly! " Jia Huoyan was about to ridicule a few more times, but the words got stuck in his throat. He was so surprised that he could not even close his mouth. He quickly ran over and snatched Jia Musen's backpack from the tallying staff, intending to personally count it again.
"Young master Huoyan, I have already counted three times, there is no way I would have counted incorrectly. Furthermore, what you are doing is against the rules. Please bring the backpack over, I will start measuring the spiritual jades!" The tallying staff was somewhat dissatisfied. He was Jia Jinyan's trusted aide and did not need to give Jia Huoyan any face, so his words were very impolite.
"There are really 98?!" Jia Huoyan was very puzzled and muttered. He slowly took Jia Musen's backpack and walked over. However, he quickly discovered something wrong when he opened the backpack's zipper.
"Hahaha! Jia Musen, you are really good! " Jia Huoyan quickly took out a spiritual jade from the backpack and raised it up with a laugh, "I was wondering how such a small backpack could hold so many spiritual jades. Turns out they are all defective goods! Look, this spiritual jade is only a little bigger than a ping pong ball. You still have the nerve to turn in this kind of trash? I really have to give it to you! "
Jia Huoyan threw away Jia Musen's backpack and ran over to his own backpack. He took out another spiritual jade and raised it in his hand, "Look at mine! This size, this appearance, and the light emitted by the spiritual jades! Every single one of them surpasses your trash spiritual jades! What was the use of numbers? Do you think we're comparing weight? "
"What are you showing off for? It hasn't even been weighed yet, so how do you know that my spiritual jade isn't as heavy as yours? Hurry up and put it down! Don't waste everyone's time, we're all waiting to go home for dinner! "Jia Musen snatched his spiritual jade and put it back into his backpack.
"Mu Sen, big brother Huo Yan's temper is just like that. Don't take it to heart." Jia Tuyao patted Jia Musen's shoulder. He also thought that Jia Musen's spirit jade looked small and shriveled, and would definitely lose in weight. Therefore, he pretended to be kind and comforted Jia Musen.
"Yo, Xiao Chen, aren't you guys too useless?" After attacking Jia Musen, Jia Huoyan turned his head to look at Xiao Chen. He did not let up and provoked him, "After wasting so much time, you only took out this kind of inferior product. You even said that you want me to admit defeat and eat Spiritual Jades. Your face is really big!"
"Can't you speak properly? Why did he spray so much saliva? Did you know that it almost stuck to my face? " Xiao Chen glared at Jia Huoyan, walked to the table lazily, took out a few bottles and jars, placed them on the table, and sneered, "Look carefully, don't say that we didn't take care of you. These are all prepared for you. After weighing, remember to eat all of our spiritual jades!"
"Hahaha!" Jia Huoyan glanced at the table and found that there were actually all kinds of sauces on the table. He almost burst out laughing. He looked at Xiao Chen with a gaze full of pity. He thought that Xiao Chen must have lost his mind. Even at this critical moment, Xiao Chen was still acting cool!
"What are you laughing at? If it weren't for buying these sauces for you, Mu Sen would have already come back and handed over the spiritual jades. This has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Chen scoffed at Jia Huoyan's mockery.
Jia Huoyan was too lazy to talk to the idiot in his eyes. He turned his head to the counter and said, "Hurry up and start! Weigh my spiritual jades first, I want them to be convinced of their defeat! "
The counter directly ignored the fight between these young masters. He took out a scale from under the table and put the spiritual jades of Jia Huoyan, Jia Tuyao, and Jia Musen on it. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
After repeatedly checking the spiritual jades, the counter recorded the weight of each spiritual jades, and finally handed the form to Jia Jinyan for him to announce.
Jia Jinyan looked at the data, raised his head, and announced unhurriedly, "The weight of the spiritual jades mined this time has been calculated. They are: Jia Renzhong's spiritual jades total two catties and seven taels; Jia Huoyan's spiritual jades total ninety-six catties; Jia Tuyao's spiritual jades total ninety-eight catties; Jia Musen's spiritual jades total … one hundred and twenty-five catties!"
There was no sound. The entrance of the mine was completely silent, as if it was a no-man's land.
Apart from Xiao Chen and Jia Musen, everyone's expression froze. They had a look of disbelief on their faces. Some people subconsciously rubbed their ears, thinking that they had misheard!
Xiao Chen looked at Jia Renzhong with a slightly profound look. Just now, when the counter weighed the spiritual jades, he saw that Jia Renzhong had taken a total of four spiritual jades. Although it was not a lot, it meant that Jia Hongyong did not provide him with any spiritual jades!
This made Xiao Chen a little surprised. It seemed that this Jia Hongyong was a person with principles. Although he had actively helped Jia Musen, he did not seek benefits for his nephew. Moreover, he did not mention anything about helping Jia Renzhong. This person could be used!
Jia Jinyan paused for a moment, and then said, "I hereby announce that in the first round of the family competition, the collateral family's winner is Jia Renzhong, and the direct family's winner is Jia Musen!"
Xiao Chen glanced at Jia Renzhong again, and found that his expression was calm. He did not seem to be wild with joy because he had won with only four spiritual jades. Xiao Chen couldn't help but look at Jia Renzhong in a higher light. It seemed that this guy's willpower was quite firm. He was indeed a good seedling!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must have been an error in the measurement. My spiritual jades are so big, how could they be lighter than those ping pong balls? " Jia Huoyan's body trembled, and he finally recovered. He was so angry that he roared loudly at the counter.
At this time, the crowd also started to clamor, and one after another, they expressed their disbelief. Jia Quusi and Jia Shoulei also echoed, and insisted that Jia Huoyan's spiritual jades should be the heaviest. Jia Renzhong still stood far away, and looked at the group of collateral family disciples with slight disdain.
When Jia Huoyan heard that there were people supporting him, his courage grew, and he fiercely roared, "There must be a problem here, I want to weigh it again!"
