Chapter 303 – Someone From the Flaming Horns Tribe

In Su Gu’s hand, the piece of square block of gold was shining brightly under the sun. Even if it has been shelved for so long, no other variegated colors tainted it.

Shao Xuan had no greed when he looked at the gold. He was more curious. He really wanted to take the gold to look at it closely, but, seeing Su Gu was guarding it tightly and was so excited, he temporarily gave up this idea as he waited for his mood to be stable again.

“Su Gu, have you seen enough? We’ll go on with our departure if it’s enough.” Near the oasis, Shao Xuan was feeling thirsty rather than wanting to admire the gold under the sun. He was more willing to go to the oasis to find a shade and drink some water as they take a rest.

From Shao Xuan’s words full of composure, Su Gu returned to himself from staring fascinated at the stone in his hand. He quickly rewrapped the gold and put it in a close-fitting inner pocket. Today, he had worn clothes with a dark bag sewn on the inside, to specifically use to hold such things.

After Su Gu got up, he walked only two steps when he felt that something was wrong. Turning his head to sideways to look at Shao Xuan, he eyed him up and down, carefully observing Shao Xuan’s expression, careful not to miss any details. But in the end, Su Gu helpless sighed, as he really did not see from Shao Xuan’s face even a little greed and fascination. It seemed that it was just a common stone for him rather than a piece of treasure.

“Don’t you think that stone is so addictive?” Su Gu couldn’t help asking.

Shao Xuan shook his head, “I don’t think so.”

“How is that possible?!” Su Gu looked at Shao Xuan again, still confused right then.

Someone could resist the charm of it?! This made Su Gu surprised. At the same time, he had some doubts. Was it only himself that thought that the stone was great? If that’s the case, when this gift was given to his father, what if the king didn’t like it?

Shao Xuan’s reaction made Su Gu’s previous convictions waver. In the end, was it himself giving it too much value, or Shao Xuan having no eyesight?

“When you saw it, wasn’t there a special feeling?” Su Gu asked.

A special feeling? Shao Xuan thought, he was surprised, but just that.

Seeing the expression of Shao Xuan, Su Gu did not give up his questioning. “You did not feel that this stone has a strange feeling like standing on the top of the palace, looking down?”

“I have not been to your palace.” Shao Xuan said. While he said those words to Su Gu, inside, he speculated the other’s feeling. When Su Gu saw that piece of gold, he could see rights and wealth. The first time he had seen gold, Su Gu would unexpectedly have such thought, like a master a city. But if you showed it to Lei and Tuo, those two people would probably be more confused than Shao Xuan, thinking that this “stone” was not as important as a piece of meat.

“Then, do you think, if I gave this stone to the king, he will he like it?” Su Gu asked.

“I think he should like it.” As the king of the city, naturally, he has absolute ambitions. His pursuit of power and wealth was even larger than other people. Even if it was only his first time to see gold, as long as the preference of King Su Lun was the same as Su Gu, then he would certainly like this “stone” that reflects a golden light.

Su Gu wanted to take it out to show to the other three and see how they would react, but thinking about it, he decided that they could wait until they returned.

Going ahead, they could see some scattered grass, which was very conspicuous on this sandy land. After seeing a lot of sand, a pinch of green grass could also make the people feel infinite vitality.
