The moment he made the nineteenth step, Xue Chen suddenly felt that the jade bead in his palm suddenly seemed to have turned into a black hole, and spiritual energy began to gradually condense.
Although he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could feel that the spiritual energy was like a cocoon wrapping the jade beads inside, and the spiritual energy was very unstable, and it felt like it would collapse at any time.
He has no other choice now. All he can do is continue to maintain it, continue to wait, and wait and see what happens.
I don't know how much time has passed, maybe an hour, maybe more, but the aura on the jade beads has reached a very thick level, and seems to have reached its limit.
But gradually, Xue Chen suddenly felt inexplicably irritable, and almost as soon as this emotion appeared, he felt that the spiritual energy condensed on the jade beads in his hands began to dissipate, which made him secretly think bad!
Then at this moment, his chest suddenly felt cold, the irritable mood suddenly disappeared, and the spiritual energy on the jade beads stabilized again.
When it stabilized, something happened that made Xue Chen feel happy. The spiritual energy wrapped in the jade bead quickly integrated into the jade bead.
After an unknown amount of time, all the spiritual energy was injected into the jade beads and released, giving him a sense of peace, as if his soul had been sublimated. Xue Chen's heart trembled because he knew that he had succeeded!
He eagerly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned, because the sky outside was already dark. It was not an hour or two, but a whole night!
Looking down at the jade-colored Half-Life Pearl, he could hardly believe his eyes that he had actually succeeded. A strong sense of joy and satisfaction filled his chest!
After a while, the joy on his face gradually calmed down, and he put the Half-Life Pearl back into the jewelry box. Instead, he reached out and took out the ancient jade hanging on his chest, staring at it without blinking.
.
"That coolness..."
At that time, he felt inexplicably irritable. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely fail, but the sudden coolness could be said to be the absolute key.
There seems to be no need to guess where that coolness came from. It must have been brought by this ancient jade, which is why he calmed down so quickly.
The Half Life Pearl is indeed precious, worth tens of millions, and is a rare magic weapon fought over by many powerful people, but in his eyes it is not very precious, because at this moment he once again clearly realized that the ancient jade in his hand is the real thing.
of treasures!
Compared with the ancient jade, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Half Life Pearl is a toy!
This is just like a person who already owns a gold mine sees a gold ingot thrown on the ground. Even though he will be happy to pick it up, it is nothing more than that. The mentality of ordinary people is definitely different.
Taking another look at the Half Life Bead in the jewelry box, Xue Chen's eyes moved and he nodded slightly, his eyes thoughtful...
On the third day after Qi Yan moved to Jinguan City, Xue Qi learned about this in the Taekwondo class. She couldn't believe it at all. After finishing the day's class, she came to Jinguan City specially. After confirming this, Xiao Qi
His mouth opened in surprise.
Qi Yan went to the kitchen to wash the fruits. Xue Qi pulled Xue Chen aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's going on? Why does Teacher Qi live with you?"
"Well, it's a bit complicated to talk about it. To put it simply, she is Wang Dong's cousin and she is staying with me." Xue Chen touched his nose.
At this time, Qi Yan put the fruit plate on the coffee table and said to Xue Qi: "Come here and eat some fruit."
"Oh, thank you, Teacher Qi." Xue Qi sat over.
Qi Yan smiled slightly: "Xiao Qi, you don't need to call me teacher outside the school, just call me Sister Yan.
"Oh, okay, Sister Yan." Xue Qi called out softly.
Qi Yan sat aside naturally, took one of Xue Qi's hands, and said with a faint smile: "Xiao Qi, I think there was some misunderstanding between us before. I think we should make it clear. In fact, I am pursuing your brother now.
, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
"Really?" Xue Qi's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true." Qi Yan reached out and scratched Xue Qi's nose again, with a smile on her face.
Xue Qi may not have noticed, but Xue Chen noticed that Qi Yan seemed to be touching herself again, which made him raise his eyebrows.
After having dinner together, Qi Yan said it was getting late and suggested that Xue Qi stay here tonight instead of going back to the school dormitory. She would be the one to talk to the dormitory management.
Xue Qi thought for a while and then readily agreed.
When Xue Chen saw that Qi Yan had left Xiao Qi to stay here tonight, Xue Chen felt moved, but didn't say anything.
The three of them watched TV until late. When it was almost time to go to bed, Qi Yan stood up and said, "I'm going to clean up the empty room."
Less than two minutes later, Qi Yan walked out of the room and said to Xue Chen: "Why is the quilt in the cabinet so damp?"
"Damp?" Xue Chen was a little surprised, because the quilts had been put up to dry, so how could they be damp? He went to the room and touched the quilt on the bed, and it was indeed a bit damp.
At the same time, Qi Yan, who was standing behind him, raised the corners of her lips and said: "The quilt is so damp, so you can't cover it, otherwise you will get sick."
At this time, Xue Qi also came in. Seeing that the quilt could not be covered, she said: "It doesn't matter, then I will just find a blanket to cover it."
"That's not possible. Covering yourself with a blanket will easily catch the wind. Let's do this. You cover me with the quilt and I cover you with the blanket." Qi Yan thought for a while and said.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Xue Qi said hesitantly.
"What's the point of being embarrassed? Let's just do it. You cover me with the quilt and I cover you with the blanket." Qi Yan said.
"Thank you, Sister Yan." Xue Qi thanked her.
Xue Chen was a little surprised when he saw Qi Yan giving up his quilt to Xue Qi. He thought Qi Yan would propose that they sleep in the same bed.
"Are you really too worried?" Xue Chen thought to himself.
…
"Old Xue, do you think this is suitable for me?"
Early in the morning, Wang Dong put on a black suit on the second floor of Zhuoyue Antique Store and walked around twice in front of Xue Chen.
"It's okay." Xue Chen replied casually.
"What do you mean it's okay? This can't be careless. I heard that at Miss Ning's birthday party tonight, there will be many rich and powerful people from Haicheng attending. Of course I have to dress up well. I don't know who will be there.
The girl has fallen in love with me." Wang Dong said with a grin, and while speaking, he picked up another tie and made gestures.
Xue Chen was also speechless as Wang Dong pondered over his karma day by day. He laughed and said, "Did you go to attend the birthday party or the Magpie Bridge Party?"
"No delay." Wang Dong chuckled and then asked, "By the way, Lao Xue, what birthday gifts have you prepared?"
"A Hetian jade bracelet." Xue Chen replied.
"Hey, it's mutton-fat jade?" Wang Dong asked curiously.
"Oh? Let me have a look." Wang Dong was a little surprised, because he knew that Xue Chen and Ning Xuanxuan had a very good relationship. Logically speaking, the gift he gave was definitely not an ordinary gift. If he gave a Hetian jade bracelet instead of a sheep
The fat jade one is a bit unjustifiable.
Xue Chen casually took out a purple jewelry box from his coat pocket and handed it to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong took it and took it in his hand. After opening it, he saw that there was a white jade bracelet in the jewelry box. However, the style of the bracelet looked a bit special. It was not punched through but embedded with platinum.
in the chain.
He looked at all the dozens of jade beads and was even more surprised, because although the jade beads were of good quality, their value was only average. Such a bracelet only cost 80,000 to 90,000 yuan. It seemed that with Xue Chen and Ning Xuan
Xuan's relationship, it would be a bit too perfunctory to give such a bracelet, but he didn't know what Xue Chen was thinking and couldn't say anything.
Ning Xuanxuan's birthday party was held at a private club on the outskirts of Haicheng City, and it was held in the evening.
Xue Chen and Wang Dong drove to the club and saw a large flat lawn with neatly trimmed trees. There was a white European-style building in the center of the lawn. Under the light, they saw
It looks beautiful, and there is faint music coming out.
The parking area is already full of cars, and you can see a lot of luxury cars at a glance.
After Wang Dong got out of the car, he glanced at his Toyota Prado. He felt like a pheasant surrounded by a group of phoenixes. He couldn't help but said depressedly: "Damn, I better take your car."
Xue Chen smiled: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry over."
When the two of them arrived at the door of the club, they took out the invitation letter and showed it to the waiter, and then walked into the banquet hall inside the club together.
When he stood at the door of the banquet hall, Xue Chen's first feeling was that it was luxurious and classy. Everywhere he looked looked extraordinary. There was a white piano in the center of the banquet hall, and a female pianist was working hard.
The playing of the instrument adds a bit of elegance to the nobility.
At this moment, there were actually quite a few people in the banquet hall. Xue Chen glanced around and saw some acquaintances, some of whom were wealthy businessmen and some who held important positions in government departments.
He was a little surprised when he saw the mayor's secretary Wang Hao. Wang Hao also saw him at the door, and they both walked towards each other.
"Xue Chen, you're here too." Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Well, we just arrived." Xue Chen nodded.
The two chatted for a while. When Wang Hao saw an acquaintance from the Transportation Bureau coming, he said something to Xue Chen and walked aside.
As soon as Wang Hao left, Xue Chen noticed someone looking at him not far away. He turned around and saw that it was indeed an acquaintance, Chi Jingtian from Hualong Real Estate!
He was not surprised to see Chi Jingtian, because Ning Group and Hualong Real Estate had recent business dealings, so it was not surprising that Chi Jingtian appeared here.
The two had some grievances in the past, but they had a complete understanding last time, so he smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Chi Jingtian also nodded, but the smile on his face looked unnatural, obviously forced out. (To be continued)
