Peerless Conceited Cultivator

Although he felt that this jade pendant was very beautiful, but how much money could Yang Pann, a high school student, have after being kicked out of his home? This pendant must be enough to kill two to three thousand people!    

"It's worth at least ten thousand!"    

Shen Xiaoxi said, "A while ago, my mother bought a pendant about the same size as this one. It was also for Tian Yu, but its base, water head and carving skills were far worse than this one, I even spent 8000!"    

"So expensive!"    

Tang Shiying was shocked by her words. Ten thousand yuan was an astronomical figure for a girl like her who came from a humble background.    

Actually, she really liked this necklace, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it with him.    

Originally, she was still thinking about it, asking Yang Pann how much money this thing was worth, paying Yang Pann back a sum of money, but now, it seemed like it was obviously not going to work. Even if she saved up ten thousand yuan, she wouldn't be able to save up that much pocket money even after ten years!    

"Yang Pann immediately gave you such a precious gift, looks like his feelings for you are real, why don't you just accept him!" Shen Xiaoxi encouraged them.    

"What nonsense are you spouting!?" No, this matter needs to be clarified. Let's go to the Jade Artifact Shop and ask! If it's too expensive, I'll have to give it back to him! " Tang Shiying suddenly felt heavy in his heart, as if there was a heavy weight pressing down on him.    

"Aiya, why are you in such a hurry?" It's almost time for class, let's hurry up and go to class! " Shen Xiaoxi pulled her and ran towards the school.    

In the first two afternoon classes, Tang Shiying was completely distracted and her mind was in a mess. She had almost not heard a single word that her teacher had said.    

Shen Xiaoxi's words never stopped resonating in her mind. Yang Pann's scoundrelly and handsome face, as well as that pendant, kept appearing in her mind.    

The bell for the end of class rang, and the second period of classes was rather long. Tang Shiying pulled Shen Xiaoxi and walked out of the classroom and said: "Come, let's go to the Jade Artifact Shop!"    

"Won't you send the cake to Yang Pann first?" Shen Xiaoxi was pulled so hard that he almost fell to the ground.    

"It's not like cake cookies are bad. Give it to him after school! Hurry, let's deal with the matter of the pendant! " Tang Shiying urged.    

After a while, the two of them rushed to a Jade Artifact Shop. Tang Shiying took out the pendant and handed it over to the shop assistant.    

The sales clerk took the pendant and was shocked. His hands trembled as he said with a trembling voice, "You guys must not leave. Wait a moment, I'll go call our boss!"    

With that, he carefully placed the jade pendant on the counter, turned around, and ran upstairs.    

Tang Shiying and Shen Xiaoxi looked at each other. They could see the suspicion in each other's eyes, why did he look so shocked? And he was even trying to get their boss to come out.    

After a while, a man about 60 years of age came down. He wore a robe with a copy of silk, he had a scholarly look to him but also had a shrewd look on his face. "Let me take a look!    

"Sorry for the trouble!" Tang Shiying handed the jade pendant over.    

The old man put on a pair of antique tortoiseshell eyes and took out a small black-framed copper magnifying glass from his pocket. Then, he brought the jade pendant closer to the magnifying glass and carefully observed it.    

"Huh?" His grizzled eyebrows creased and he let out a cry of alarm.    

Tang Shiying and Shen Xiaoxi became even more confused and nervous. However, the old man was extremely focused on observing the jade pendant, so they couldn't disturb him.    

The old man would look into the distance and look at its layout and outline. At times, he would look at the sword marks and look at the water, not missing out on a single detail.    

Those white brows swept over his brows. Sometimes they were tightly creased, sometimes they were relaxed. His mouth was chanting, and a pair of deep eyes shone brightly. His gaze was occasionally excited, and sometimes puzzled.    

"Weird, weird!" After looking for more than ten minutes, the old man finally stopped. He frowned and said, "This is an old jade newbie! Have you guys been deceived by someone? "    

"Sir, what do you mean by 'old jade new worker'?" Tang Shiying did not understand.    

"Why would she be tricked? Someone gave this to her!" Shen Xiaoxi asked curiously.    

"The so-called new work of old jade is that the jade is old and the carving is new! This piece of jade is He Tian Yu, commonly known as True Jade. It belongs to a high grade variety of soft jade. Its age should be Ming Dynasty, and it should be an antique jade! "    

The old man smiled as he explained, "But it's a new worker. This is the sculpture. In fact, this is a bit of a waste, but to be honest, this carving technique can also be considered first-rate. I have been in the Jade Artifact Industry for decades, but this is the first time I've seen such a good carving technique.    

As he finished speaking, he had a look of admiration on his face. He looked at the jade pendant with shining eyes, as if he had seen some priceless treasure.    

"Then what did you say you were tricked …" Shen Xiaoxi had a face full of curiosity.    

"Hehe, since it was given to me by a human, then there is definitely no longer the possibility of deceiving me!"    

The old man smiled kindly, "Sometimes, people will find some ancient jade, but these jades have not been carved yet. The later generations made them according to the shape of the ancient tools.    

"Then, old sir, how much can this thing be worth?" Tang Shiying asked the question that she was most concerned about.    

The elder pondered for a moment before smiling, "At least five million!"    

"What?" Tang Shiying was dumbstruck.    

"Holy shit!" Five million! A small jade pendant is actually this valuable! " Shen Xiaoxi was deeply shocked. Her guess was worth ten thousand just now, but now, it was worth five million. She couldn't accept this.    

Tang Shiying only regained his senses after a long time had passed. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and using all his strength to calm his agitated heart, he said with a trembling voice: "Old sir, you couldn't have seen wrongly, right? "Don't be angry. It's not that I doubt your eyesight, it's just that my friend had a very ordinary relationship with me. How could he give me such a precious thing?"    

"Hehe, this Hutian Jade is of high quality and can be called mutton fat jade. Even if it is a piece of contemporary mining jade, such a large piece would be worth at least a hundred thousand yuan. But don't forget, this is an ancient jade!"    

The old man didn't get angry and explained, "Once you become an ancient jade and go through the precipitation of history, you will be filled with the vicissitudes of time. If you are so gentle, then your value will multiply! Moreover, this carving line was smooth, exquisite and ingenious. It was a rare art piece. Not only would it not reduce the value of the jade, it would also increase it! Thus, the price of five million is still reasonable! "    

"So precious …" Tang Shiying's head was buzzing for a moment, but her mind was blank, as though it was a mess. She could not understand what the old man was saying, and she did not hear him.    

Her jade white hands tightly held onto her chest, because at this moment, his heart was beating rapidly, too fiercely, as if it was going to jump out of his throat in the next moment.    

Her thoughts were in a mess, but for some reason, a wave of warmth surged into her heart. The warmth quickly melted the ice that sealed her heart, revealing the softness and warmth within.    

It was as though a gentle spring breeze was blowing, causing the dark clouds covering his heart to be swept clean, causing the warm sunlight to shine down, lighting up the entire space.    

It also seemed that after a light rain, the dried up heart was nourished. A seed of love quickly sprouted, struggling to lift the dust on its surface before transforming into a dark green seedling. It swayed in the wind, ready to move!    

The seedling seemed to be waving happily in the wind, smiling sweetly. However, Tang Shiying could feel his nose turning sour, he wanted to cry, he wanted to cry! Assassin, thousands of words stuck in his throat, but he could not say a single word!    

Because of Tang Shiying's family's poverty and her father's serious illness, she only had two sets of clothes every year. One was her school uniform and the other was a dress she bought a few years ago, making her feel somewhat inferior.    

She just wanted to get into college and make some money to change the situation in her family, so she always wanted to hide herself in some unknown corner, wear a mask all day, be timid and wary of others.    

Tang Shiying sealed himself away again, and remained on his guard no matter how cold and calm he was. But don't forget, she was also a girl, a young girl!    

And for girls of this age group, who wouldn't be full of yearning and fantasies about beautiful love?    

She too!    

When she was bullied under the pressure of poverty and helplessness, she once imagined a prince on a white horse appearing, protecting her, loving her!    

However, she kept reminding herself that this was unrealistic. She should not have any illusions in her heart and rely on her own efforts! Especially after the incident with her best friend, she had been extremely cautious of her peers!    

But today …    

When she found out that it was worth five million, she was moved beyond belief!    

It was not that she cared about the money, but she understood that even for someone like Yang Pann, five million was still an unbearable sum of money!    

Furthermore, Yang Pann was being chased out of Yang Family, it was said that he had only opened a small bar, how much money could he earn in a month? It could be seen how sincere Yang Pann was to him!    

That's right, she didn't care about the money, but she cared about the heart! Now she slowly thought it through. Maybe Yang Pann was just being a little flowery, but at the very least, she took him very seriously.    

"Shi Ying, this old mister is asking you. He wants to buy your pendant for five million!" Shen Xiaoxi looked at Tang Shiying who was in a daze and gently pushed her arm.    

"Huh?"    

Only then did Tang Shiying react, and with an apologetic smile he said: "Old sir, I am sorry, someone else gave me this thing, I will sell it to you, it is really inappropriate …"    

Returning to school, it had already been more than ten minutes since the class started. However, Tang Shiying and Shen Xiaoxi had good results and were usually good students. The teacher naturally did not ask and allowed them to enter the classroom.    

Tang Shiying was currently very conflicted. Unknowingly, her thoughts had become a little loose.    

Thinking about it, she felt that Yang Pann had been too helpful to her in the past few days, and had been too kind to her too. He had helped her in uncovering Zhao Zihao's scheme, helped her exempt herself from paying tuition, helped her provide a prescription for medicinal food in her family's small shop, and even given her such a precious gift … Should I accept Yang Pann's feelings?
