Lin Yifan didn't have time to explain anything to the Mu Family Elder here, nor did he want to explain.
The Mu Family Elder felt Lin Yifan was being secretive and didn't know what kind of task he was on.
Moreover, he wanted to know what Lin Yifan gained from the seemingly emerald stone and insisted on finding out where it originated.
Could this seemingly emerald stone really be an emerald? But an emerald, while beautiful, is just an ornament. Why would he want so many?
He felt the emerald stone wasn't just jade; it might be some other rare mineral.
If that's true, wouldn't their Mu Family mine strike it rich?
Thinking about this, he contemplated deceiving Lin Yifan. But if Lin Yifan found out he lied, wouldn't he meet a horrible end?
After some consideration, he decided to take the risk.
