Chapter 1571 “The Wen Clan’s Intrusion (2)”
Bai Yan contemplated the idea before nodding slightly to the one who asked: “I do. In a few days come see Ling Lang, I will have him hold onto what I have for sale.”
She didn’t want to openly sell her jades on Ling Kaiyuan’s birthday, that would be rude and unfit for tonight’s celebration.
“Of course, my jade won’t be cheap either. They’re no ordinary gemstone like you find elsewhere, they’re known as Spirit Jades.”
“Spirit Jade? Isn’t the one here an Imperial Jade?”
Imperial jade, a highly coveted type of jade that’s able to fetch astronomical prices due to its rarity in modern day times. It’s also one of the reasons why Ling Kaiyuan would flaunt his newfound treasure to his friends, such gemstones aren’t something money could easily buy. There’s a limited number of supplies on the market, and even then, the price would be beyond belief.
“Grandpa Ling, you can tell by now can’t you?” Bai Yan didn’t answer the person’s question and instead turned to the old general for an explanation.
Slowly nodding his old head, “It’s as she says, the jade is not some Imperial Jade. As you all know, my body’s been feeling unwell in recent days, that’s why I didn’t want to meet anyone and was about to cancel this banquet tonight. But do I look sick to any of you now? It’s because of this jade in my hand, I’m feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after getting my hands on it.”
When one grows old, they are bound to be stricken with aches and pains. Often this would be untreatable, that’s just how the human body works, but this Spirit Jade from Bai Yan could rectify that flaw by moistening his cells with spiritual particles.
“Everything in this world has a soul, the same is true for this jade. Materially its no different from an Imperial Jade like this guest says, but it’s also a jade that’s able to bring in the spiritual energy around us. For that reason, Grandpa Ling is able to benefit by indirectly absorbing the spiritual energy as well, thus helping him feel rejuvenated. So, what’s everyone’s take on its value now?”
Naturally the claim seemed outlandish in the eyes of these people, but the proof was there with the old general standing before them. The word of the powerful and influential beats any scientific reasoning, that’s how the world works and will always work.
“Ling Lang, I’ll get a few more of these jades ready, you can sell it to them as you please. Afterwards give the money to Yi Yi.”
Stunned by this, Bai Yi Yi tears up immediately: “Sister Bai Yan…”
“You don’t need to say more, I can’t stay in this place so making sure you have enough to care for yourself is the least I can do. It’s not like I can use the money anyways.”
“But you still have Xiachen, you can give it to him.”
“Xiachen will be leaving with me too. The place we’re heading to can’t use such money. Are you expecting me to hand the money over to the Wen Clan instead?” Bai Yan smirks sarcastically at the mention of that family, “I would rather burn it than to give them a penny!”
That only made Bai Yi Yi sound more pitiful as she started to sob: “Sister Bai Yan, where are you going? Can’t you take me with you?”
Following that plead, Bai Ran and the rest also started to focus in on Bai Yan because they’re getting curious. Nowadays taking a plane abroad was a simple gesture of pressing a b.u.t.ton through the computer, why would anyone claim they wouldn’t be able to use money?
“I can’t tell you the details for the time being. If fate lets us then we will meet again in the future….” Bai Yan consciously glanced over to Ling Lang, “I hope you will eventually be able to get others to care for you instead of only you caring for others. Don’t worry about me Yi Yi, I will live very well.”
