Chen Muyu looked at him funny, "Then tell me, why did you ask Li Xu for the family heirloom jade pendant?"
Yang Ming hesitated.
"What? You don't want to say it?" Chen Muyu looked at him funny.
Yang Ming shrugged, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm afraid that after I say it, Uncle Yu will cause trouble to me again."
"Am I so unbearable?"
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you lose your happy heart?" Yang Ming said unhappily.
"It was just an accident."
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Yang Ming, if you really want to gain my trust, you shouldn't hide anything from me."
"Ah."
Yang Ming chuckled lightly, "It's true that the Tao is as high as the devil, and Uncle Yu knows how to manipulate people."
Regardless of whether Yang Ming's words were praising him or trying to push him away, Chen Muyu sighed softly, "Since you have a mouth, I can't force you to say it. It's your freedom to say it or not."
"Besides, even if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that I can't cause damage."
"All right."
Yang Ming's face twitched, he took a deep breath, and said, "The ancestors of the Li Xu family had a capable person. This person was once an Eight-Star Realm existence. He worshiped under the disciple of a Nine-Star Great One. That jade pendant is from their sect."
As a token of the gate, you can enter that mountain gate with this jade pendant..."
"Although it is an abandoned mountain gate, there is another chance. Time has passed too long. Although the Li family has passed down this jade pendant, no one knows the origin and function of this jade pendant."
"It wasn't until 300 million years later that one of Li Xu's descendants accidentally learned the origin of the jade pendant in a ruins. From there, he entered the Tianlan Sect's residence and got the opportunity to prove the Nine Star Realm in one fell swoop..."
"It's a pity. At that time, Central Continent was already full of powerful people. This younger generation of the Li family was missing something in his mind. After he came out, he went around blabbing, but he was designed to be killed. It's really a pity..."
…
Yang Ming eloquently talked about things in the future.
Chen Muyu listened carefully.
Although I don't know how true what he said is, the story he told is very attractive.
Ancient sect, nine-star inheritance.
How could this not be attractive?
In order to break through to an eight-star realm, so many people are fighting to the death.
Seeing Chen Muyu's expression change, Yang Ming immediately said, "Look, I told you that once I tell you this, you will definitely interfere..."
"Why do you think of me like that?"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "I'm actually not interested in things like inheritance. The nine-star realm seems difficult, but for me, there is no chance to achieve it..."
"You promise not to interfere?" Yang Ming interrupted him.
Chen Muyu smiled, "Are you so afraid of me interfering?"
"Uncle Yu, as long as you interfere in this kind of thing, it will not be a good thing for me." Yang Ming said very straightforwardly.
Chen Muyu chuckled, "Even if I don't interfere, can you guarantee that Li Xu can give you the things?"
Yang Ming spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. If he doesn't give it to me, I'll take it. Anyway, I have someone in my hands now. As long as you don't interfere, Uncle Yu."
"Oh, you are really awesome."
Chen Muyu shook his head, "Li Xu and I are friends. If something happens to him, can I still ignore it?"
"Come on, Uncle Yu."
Yang Mingdao, "How much can a friend be worth? Why don't I know you? I just want benefits."
I have to say, I am really good at judging people.
How long have he and Li Xu known each other? How close can they be to each other?
Yang Ming thought for a while and said, "If Uncle Yu doesn't intervene this time, then I won't pursue the matter of Happy Heart before..."
"Hahaha."
Chen Muyu laughed dumbly, "Does it have anything to do with me whether you pursue it or not?"
Chen Muyu didn't take him seriously at all, and he actually exchanged this matter with himself. Chen Muyu only thought it was funny.
Yang Ming said, "No matter what, let me get the jade pendant first. It's too early to talk about whether it is available or not."
"Um."
Chen Muyu nodded slightly, "It's reasonable for you to ask Li Xu for something, but you don't want to look too ugly. After all, Li Xu and I still have some friendship."
"learn."
Yang Ming smiled faintly, as long as Chen Muyu promised not to take action, then things would be much simpler for him.
…
——
That night, Li Xu returned.
Brought bad news to Yang Ming. The jade pendant he wanted was lost.
That's right, lost.
Can't find it.
If possible, Yang Ming can choose other compensation.
Such a result is both expected and unexpected.
Lost, such a reason does not convince Yang Ming.
In the main hall, Yang Ming sat quietly and remained calm.
Li Xu sat across from him, also a little uneasy.
He also knew that this was a bad reason, but it was absolutely impossible for him to hand over the jade pendant.
Not to mention, this jade pendant was a token of love that he gave to the empress, and the empress valued it very much.
Yang Ming asked for this item by name, and he was so determined, which can only show that this jade pendant hides some great secret.
So, how could they be willing to give it up to others?
"Brother Yang Ming, is there anything special about this jade pendant? Why are you so interested in this jade pendant?" Li Xu asked.
"hehe."
Yang Ming chuckled lightly, "Your own heirloom jade pendant actually came to me to ask what's special about it. Brother Li Xu, shouldn't you be the one who knows best?"
"this……"
Li Xu was speechless after hearing this.
He looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know if there were any secrets about his own things, but he still had to ask others?
It's a bit embarrassing to say it.
Li Xu smiled awkwardly, "No matter what is special about this jade pendant, now it has been lost. I am really sorry..."
"ha."
Yang Ming chuckled lightly, "Lost? I don't think so?"
Li Xu frowned slightly, "Brother Yang Ming, don't you believe me?"
"Of course I can't believe you."
Yang Ming waved his hand, his face immediately turned cold, "Brother Li Xu, I warned you, either give me the jade pendant, or your Dapeng Dynasty will be prepared to accept my wrath."
Li Xu's breath was stagnant.
He didn't think that Yang Ming would fall out with him. What he said just now was to further test Yang Ming's bottom line.
However, Yang Ming didn't seem to be joking.
"Brother Yang Ming."
Li Xu waved his hand quickly, "Although the jade pendant is lost, you can change it for something else. My previous promise is still valid..."
"I just want the jade pendant." Yang Ming's face became colder and colder.
Li Xu looked a little embarrassed. This was the first time he was forced like this, and he was not given any face at all.
