A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 18 must be an idiot.

Wu Cheng saw Young Master Lu, and Young Master Lu also saw Wu Cheng.

Both of them were quite restrained.

After all, this is the Gu family's residence, and neither Wu Cheng nor Lu Shao are the main characters in this treasure-hunting competition.

People like Lu Shao look down on those who are poorer than him, even if you think they are a hundred times worse.

But compared to those who are rich, he has a groveling, fawning attitude.

However, despite his restraint, it didn't stop Lu Shao from coming over to greet Wu Cheng.

"Oh, isn't this Master Wu Cheng? You've got some nerve, coming to the Gu family."

Wu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Lu? It's been a few days. Your injury is much better, and your face has gotten thinner. You've become so thin you don't look like a pig anymore."

When Wu Cheng mocked him, Lu Shao immediately thought of the humiliation he suffered in the bar. He clenched his fist and said, "Kid, if you want to be safe with your roommates, don't act arrogant in front of me."

When Wu Cheng heard him mention his roommates, a nameless anger welled up inside him.

It's one thing for Young Master Lu to target me, but he actually went so far as to threaten me with my roommates. Is there really any need to reconcile with someone like that?

Previously, Wu Cheng had listened to Scarface's advice and planned to come here to ask Old Master Gu to step in and resolve the matter.

But now Wu Cheng has changed his mind. This kind of guy is incorrigible. Even if he openly agrees to Old Master Gu not to oppose him, he will still secretly do a series of small things.

The only solution is to completely destroy him and the Lu family.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ma Yue again. Young Master Lu didn't know him and would never think of using the third roommate to threaten him.

Therefore, the person who gave Lu Shao the advice must have been Ma Yue.

This bitch.

Wu Cheng was seething with hatred. A thought flashed through his mind, and he said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this Ma Yue? Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become a bucket-carrying maid?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yue didn't react at first, looking down at Wu Cheng with an air of superiority yet lacking confidence: "Wu Cheng, please don't go against Young Master Lu, you can't afford to offend him..."

"I can't afford to offend you, and I don't need your opinion. You're just a lowly maid who only deserves to carry chamber pots for that man surnamed Lu."

Only then did Ma Yue understand how Wu Cheng addressed her, and her face turned pale instantly: "Wu Cheng, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? A mere chamber pot maid, do you really think you're worth a lot of money?" Wu Cheng interrupted. "You'd better hold that chamber pot tighter, or you'll break it and then you'll be worthless."

After saying that, Wu Cheng didn't want to waste any more words with the two of them. Just as he was about to leave, someone walked over and blocked his way: "Are security guards all useless these days? How can they let such poor scum in?"

Upon seeing this person approaching, Young Master Lu greeted him with a broad smile: "Young Master Hao..."

This guy called Hao Shao is quite handsome. He's wearing a suit specially made by Ruilongxiang, which must have cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. The Yunliansheng shoes he's wearing cost as much as an apartment in the suburbs of Longqiu City.

Hao Shao didn't even blink at Lu Shao, and looked Wu Cheng up and down: "You're a deliveryman too, right? Deliverymen should follow the rules. Who brought you here?"

Huh, why did he say "also"? Wu Cheng glanced at Ma Yue's unpleasant face and suddenly understood why Hao Shao had said "also"—he had mistaken Ma Yue for a deliveryman.

Young Master Lu then shamelessly greeted Young Master Hao: "Young Master Hao, do you remember me? We met at my sister's apprenticeship banquet..."

Hao Shao then looked at Lu Shao: "Who's your sister?"

“Lu Dongxuan, my sister Lu Dongxuan.”

Upon hearing Lu Shao mention Lu Dongxuan, Hao Shao finally gave him a friendly look and nodded politely, "So you're Dongxuan's brother."

He glanced at Wu Cheng and asked Young Master Lu, "Do you know this person?"

"I don't recognize them. I guess they're here for the treasure-hunting competition."

"Really?" Young Master Hao didn't expose Young Master Lu. "Someone of this status dares to come to the Treasure Competition. I really don't know whether to call him brave or stupid."

"They're probably trying to sneak in and take advantage of us. These clueless paupers think they're rare treasures just because they picked up a broken brick or a rock, and they're bringing it here to embarrass themselves," Young Master Lu speculated.

Wu Cheng listened to them talking back and forth as if they were performing a crosstalk routine.

My impression of this young master Hao was extremely negative.

However, he was confident that as long as he brought out Gu Bingzhang's brick inkstone, it would definitely make all the other treasures in the treasure competition pale in comparison.

So he simply pretended to be clueless: "Huh, how did you know the treasure I brought was a brick?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a brick inkstone: "I found this brick at the antique market. Don't you think it might be priceless?"

Hao Shao glanced at the brick inkstone in Wu Cheng's hand and burst into laughter: "What an idiot! He actually treats a brick like a treasure. Well, I'm impressed. If it were really that easy to find such a bargain in this world, then we would all be blind."

Young Master Lu chimed in, "That's right, anyone who believes this is a treasure is just as stupid."

Wu Cheng continued to feign ignorance: "Young masters, so you don't believe this is a treasure? Have you ever heard the story of the He Shi Bi jade?"

The story of Bian He's Jade Disc tells of Bian He's three offerings of the jade. Bian He was an ordinary jade craftsman. Once, while in the mountains, he saw a phoenix flying in a certain place, which reminded him of the legend that phoenixes do not perch on places without treasure.

He went to the place where the phoenix took flight and finally unearthed a piece of uncut jade. He was very happy and presented it to the King of Chu at that time.

As a result, the King of Chu had someone examine it and concluded that it was just an ordinary stone, and that Bian He had deceived him. So he ordered someone to cut off one of Bian He's legs.

Later, when the previous King of Chu died and a new King of Chu came to power, Bian He once again took the uncut jade to present it as a gift. However, this time the uncut jade was also mistaken for a stone, and Bian He lost another leg.

Later, when another King of Chu came to power, Bian He went there again with the uncut jade in his arms, and wept bitterly while holding the jade.

The new King of Chu asked him, "Are you dissatisfied with the previous two Kings of Chu cutting off your legs?"

Bian He replied, "I do not grieve for my leg, but rather for the fact that this beautiful jade remains hidden in the stone, unrecognized by anyone." The new King of Chu ordered a jade craftsman to cut open the rough jade, revealing a priceless gem that was later used as the Imperial Seal of the State and passed down through generations.

This story has been passed down through generations in the Kingdom of Jiuyuan, and is known to everyone, young and old. It also left behind the saying, "Having eyes but not recognizing gold inlaid with jade."

Hao Shao looked at Wu Cheng with the same gaze one would give a fool: "Fine, since you believe this is a treasure, do you dare to take it out and show it to Old Master Gu later?"

“Oh, how did you know I was going to show this to Old Master Gu? Not only am I going to show it to him, but I'm also going to present it to the Gu family.”

Hao Shao and Lu Shao both burst into laughter, attracting a lot of attention.

After laughing, Hao Shao gave Wu Cheng a thumbs up: "Go ahead, friend. If you have the ability to get the Gu family to accept this brick, I'll eat it right in front of you."

Wu Cheng quickly put the brick inkstone away: "You're really strange. Such a precious treasure, of course I should offer it to Old Master Gu, how could I let you eat it?"

He walked away as he spoke, looking as if he was genuinely worried that Young Master Hao would eat his brick inkstone.

Hao Shao glanced at Wu Cheng's retreating figure, then turned to Lu Shao and said, "Is this kid an idiot?"
