"Cut along these lines."
Meng Po instructed his men to start cutting the stone according to the lines he had drawn, then retreated to a sofa nearby to sit down. He didn't notice the flash of brilliance that passed through An Yiqing's eyes when she saw the rough stone in his hand.
On the other side, under the guidance of Zhang Yuksheng, Xia Hao quickly grasped the basics. An Yiqing told him that because the rough stone had been swapped, it was a waste stone, so he could handle it as he pleased. Without any psychological burden, Xia Hao was eager to give it a try.
The Stone-Cutting Area was very quiet, and everyone was sneaking glances towards Meng Po's side. Everyone wanted to see what kind of top-grade jade the Jade King could unveil.
