Chapter 1965: The secret of the jade pendant
After a while, Liu Weishanâs wife, Chu Huifang, came into the study with fragrant tea.âMy two little friends, have some tea. Old Liu was so busy that he forgot about everything else!â
âMany thanks, granny!â Lin Yi said politely as he took the cup.
âHehe, youâre welcome. Iâm going out to watch TV. Just call me if you need more water. Donât stand on ceremony.â Chu Huifang said.
âGo do your work, donât mind us.â Lin Yi said.
Chu Huifang went out. Liu Weishan was just like what she said, forgetting everything else when he was busy. But Lin Yi had to admit that Liu Weishanâs skill level was beyond doubt. The jade pendant was quickly fiddled with in Liu Weishanâs hand âŠ
Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi sat quietly to the side, waiting. The two didnât talk to each other, afraid that they would affect Liu Weishan.
After about two hours, the jade pendant was cut into a small face. However, Liu Weishan also exclaimed in surprise,ââEh, thereâs really something inside?â
âIs there really something?â Lin Yi didnât think that his and sun Jingyiâs guess would turn out to be the truth!
âYes, this jade pendant is hollow. I have to cut it more carefully. I have to cut four circles to ensure that the thing inside is not destroyed!â âBut itâs more difficult to do so. It may not be completed in one or two days,â said Liu Weishan.
âNo need to trouble yourself!â âOld Liu,â Jingyi said suddenly,âsince thereâs something inside, weâll just have to make sure itâs intact. Itâs fine to destroy the Jade outside.â
Since Jingyi already knew that there was something inside, the Jade wasnât that important anymore-it could be said that the outside was only there to protect the thing inside, and the Jade wouldnât be of much use once the thing was taken out.
Besides, sheâd decided to give the Jade to Lin Yi-from what he said, it didnât really matter if the Jade broke, since he just wanted to use it as a material for something-but she didnât ask about the details.
âDestroy it?â Liu Weishan was a little surprised,âif itâs destroyed, it canât be restored!â
âItâs fine, I just want the things inside, and the Jade will be ⊠Lin Yi âs. â Jingyi said.
âYi, is it okay if the Jade is damaged?â Liu Weishan looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
âSure!â âAs long as itâs pure yellow jade, it doesnât matter if itâs whole or broken,â Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi was going to use it to make the Jade space, and heâd have to break it when he made it, so it didnât matter if it was broken or intact.
âOh? I see, thatâs easy then. I have a few friends who have carved pure yellow jade before, and they kept the remaining Jade fragments. I seem to be able to find some here. If you only want these fragments, then I can help you collect some!â Liu Weishan thought that Lin Yi wanted the whole piece of the Jade from Xueminâs words-after all, everyone who asked for Jade wanted whole Jade. Heâd never heard of anyone asking for broken Jade.
âThatâs great!â Lin Yi was surprised and happy at the same time. Jingyiâs Jade wasnât big, and Lin Yi was afraid that it wouldnât meet the requirements for making the Jade. After all, he went into Qi deviation the last time because he wanted to replace the body-strengthening medicine. This time, he needed to be more careful when making the space. He wouldnât try it if he didnât have enough raw materials.
Otherwise, it would be a small matter if the materials went blind, but it would not be fun if the space in the jade pendant was ruined.
âBut the rest of the small Jade fragments should be in the warehouse in a self-sealing bag. I wonât be able to find them today, so Iâll have to help you find them slowly.â âItâs because there are too many things in the warehouse,âLiu Weishan said.
âItâs okay, thereâs no hurry. â Lin Yi said.
Other than the yellow jade, Lin Yi also needed the colored steel and blue crystal powder. He didnât have those two things yet, and even if he had the yellow jade now, he wouldnât need it.
âAlright, if thatâs the case, Iâll just break this jade pendant.â Liu Weishan said.
âAlright,â he said. Jingyi nodded-she couldnât wait to find out what was in the necklace.
He didnât cut it according to the lines, but disassembled it with force. As long as the things inside were intact, it was much easier. Liu Weishan directly cut around the jade pendant with a knife, and the things inside the jade pendant were exposed!
Lin Yi and Jingyiâs eyes were glued to the Jade in Liu Weishanâs hand. Lin Yi was curious about what was inside the Jade as well, so he wouldnât let it go.
Liu Weishan chiseled a few more times and pulled the inside of the Jade with the tweezer. He pulled out a piece of silk that was folded neatly. The silk was soft and thin, and it was folded into a small piece and hidden in the Jade. If Lin Yi didnât find it by chance, who knew how long the silk would stay in the Jade.
âThis is it.â Liu Weishan didnât open the Jade scroll, but placed it on the table.
âThank you very much, elder Liu!â Lin Yi quickly thanked him. He could see that Liu Weishan was an upright person. He didnât seem to be interested in the contents of the silk at all. He turned to collect the small pieces of pure yellow jade on the workbench instead âŠ
âItâs nothing, itâs just a small matter. â Liu Weishan said indifferently.
âJingyi, open it!â Lin Yi said.
âEn âŠâ Jingyi looked at the Jade scroll on the table, excited. This small piece of silk might be the record of her parents and the mystery of her birth! Sheâd asked her grandfather about her parents many times, but heâd always avoided talking about it. Jingyi was curious, but she could tell that her grandfather had his own difficulties, and so she didnât ask.
Jingyiâs hands trembled at the thought of finding a clue from a silk scroll âŠ
She picked it up carefully and opened it slowly-sheâd thought it was a letter from her parents, but it was a map!
Map? As far as Jingyi was concerned, if it wasnât a letter, it was probably some sort of practitionerâs Arts-but it was a map! She had a weird feeling about it, and wanted to ask Lin Yi for his opinion, but he wasnât looking at her. She knew that he was trying to avoid suspicion.
âLin Yi, take a look at this, this is a map âŠâ Sun Jingyi handed the silk to Lin Yi.
Since it was Jingyi who showed it to him, Lin Yi didnât stand on ceremony and accepted it.
