Dragon Hermit

Chapter 93: Exceptional

Young Master Feng, whats in Young Miss Lius mind? She just let go of a treasure worth a whole house and wore goods worth 1000. Is this the power of love? Yan Xiaoqing whispered to Dong Feng.

Goods worth 1000?? Hehe Dong Feng only laughed in response and didnt bother with making any explanation to her.

Ordinary jewels werent on par with goods crafted and carved by Xia Yan. The imperial jadeite necklace was no ordinary goods, but it still couldnt save ones life no matter how pretty and expensive it was, and it might even cost one his life. If one dared to wear it daily, then many criminals and world-renowned thieves would go after him. This ornament could only be hoarded in a safe, and wearing it around ones neck was just asking for trouble.

As for the jade sculpture given out by Xia Yan? It could really save ones life and Young Miss Lius life was priceless.

They had once spent 500.000 to buy the Soul Ataraxia Stone, which had saved his cousins life, and this had been the best deal done by the Liu family this year.

As for whether it was due to the power of love? Dong Feng didnt even take it into consideration. The Liu family wasnt short of money and didnt need to look for a boyfriend of equal status for his cousin, while Xia Yan possessed special abilities, whose worth couldnt be measured with mere money; if he became his cousins boyfriend, then this was precisely what his grandpa and uncle wished for.

However, Dong Feng was obviously the sole person who thought so here. When the people witnessed Liu Xueer replacing the imperial jadeite necklace with a lousy jade ornament, they were all as dumbfounded as Yan Xiaoqing.

Sure enough! Wealthy people were so willful!

Or, was this the counterattack of the loser Xia Yan?

Xie Zhengs expression turned unsightly. A person could wear only a single jade necklace, and Liu Xueer had already worn the one sent by Xia Yan. So, what about the one in his hands?

Miss Xueer, its time for you to take Young Master Zhengs gift, dont leave him standing there awkwardly, Xia Yan cast a glance at Xie Zheng and spoke to Liu Xueer with a smile.

Okay! Liu Xueers face got flushed, quite embarrassed by their actions a while ago.

Since Xia Yan had already given his word, Liu Xueer trusted him and said, Young Master Xie, thank you for your gift.

When Liu Xueer just got hold of the emerald-jade sculpture of Buddha, she felt a chill run down her spine and she shuddered lightly. But at this moment, a warm current flowed out of her chest. That said chill was dispersed and she felt comfortable all over.

If this had happened in the past, Liu Xueer wouldnt suspect anything. But she had already gone through two schemes and was aware that the jade ornament in front of her chest protected her from harm.

[Xia Yan, thank you] She looked at him and thanked him inwardly.

A smile blossomed on Xie Zhengs face. When Elder Shi crafted this jade ornament, he had fused a thread of Liu Xueers hair with it and crafted it according to her birth date. As long as Liu Xueer touched the jade ornament, the arrays power in it would lock onto her and would unleash its power after a day. At that time, even Celestials wouldnt be able to save the Liu familys princess.

Young Master Zheng, this jade ornament is now Miss Xueers, isnt it? Xia Yan asked.

Of course, I have gifted it to Miss Xueer, and its now hers, Xie Zheng said.

Very good! Xia Yan nodded and said to Liu Xueer. Miss Xueer, Im quite fond of this jade ornament, can you gift it to me?

Fine! Liu Xueer passed it to Xia Yan without the least bit of hesitation.

Wait! Xie Zheng was taken aback and he quickly came back to his senses. He was both surprised and angry. She had just received this birthday gift, yet she directly passed it to someone else. This was so humiliating. The crux was that if the jade ornament wasnt within a hundred meters of Liu Xueer, then its power wouldnt be able to affect her.

Miss Xueer, this isnt an appropriate behavior, is it? Xie Zhengs expression turned gloomy.

When Xia Yan took hold of the jade ornament, he immediately detected the evil energy contained within it. This energy had already locked onto Liu Xueer and was trying to invade her body, but it was blocked by Xia Yans jade ornament.

The Xie family didnt have any scruples, and since Xia Yan had already chosen to confront it, then he would be the same. He just stroked the jade ornament in his hands and said with a smile, Young Master Zheng, Young Master Xie. This jade ornament is already Liu Xueers, and she can give it to whoever she wants. So, what objection do you have?

Xia Yan, dont be so shameless. This jade ornament is a renowned masters work, and its crafted out of top-grade materials. Do you know how much its worth? How come you have the nerve to ask for it? You are just a cheap man living off a woman, arent you? Zhou Yi shouted.

Shut up! Zhou Yi, who do you think you are? You dare curse Xia Yan? Dong Feng flared out and spoke before Xia Yan could respond. He didnt dare to cut into a conversation between his cousin, Xie Zheng, and Xia Yan. But, Zhou Yi was just a nobody, and if he didnt teach him a lesson, then even Xia Yan might look down upon him.

Young Master Feng, you Zhou Yi was taken aback. He was a follower of Xie Zheng, but this didnt mean that he dared to confront the Liu family openly. Even the Dong family was a colossal faction in his eyes, let alone the Liu family.

Upon hearing Dong Fengs shout, Zhou Yi could only mumble several words and quieten. He didnt dare to speak up again!

Sure enough, its my masters artwork, As Xia Yan stroked the jade ornament with his hand, he detected its simple-looking yet detailed lines, and this was a product of One-Knife Schools skill. Xia Yan had caressed his masters artworks many times and he wouldnt make a mistake in this.

He had noticed a while ago that this jade ornament looked like a product of One-Knife Schools craft, and that was why he asked for it.

But, this jade ornament emitted eerie and extremely impure Undead Elements aura. If an ordinary person held this jade ornament, he would be affected by this impure Undead Element and might start hallucinating. Getting hallucinations and seeing ghosts or something of the like was a minor matter in comparison to what would happen if ones body got invaded by the Undead Element. The Undead Element would steal a persons life force and would quickly take his life.

The ebony toad used to deal with Old Master Liu was a slow-acting poison, while the two methods used to deal with Liu Xueer were both swift and fierce.

[How come Xie Zheng is so fearless? Is it because hes depending upon Elder Shi? Whats the origin of this old man?]

As Xia Yan pondered over this, he stuffed the jade ornament into his pants pocket and started maneuvering his Soul Storage Horcrux to absorb the Undead Element in it.

Huh? Elder Shi was sitting on a sofa in the corner with his eyes closed, yet at this moment, he raised his brows and his eyes snapped open. He looked in Xia Yans direction with a flickering gaze.

That youngster is really exceptional,and hes attempting to destroy my Magical Artifact. Humph, hes only an arrogant and ignorant lad wet behind the ears, Elder Shi sneered and took a black bamboo whistle out of his sleeve. He started playing the whistle and a current of air went through that said whistle, but it didnt emit any sound. The old mans cheeks got puffed and he moved his tongue nimbly. He started playing a bizarre silent musical pulse.

Young Master Zheng, thank you for your gift. Im very fond of it, Upon seeing Xia Yan putting the jade ornament into his pants pocket, Liu Xueer smiled at Xie Zheng and spoke.

Xie Zheng had almost flown into a rage, but he bore it and turned his head to look at Elder Shi and found the latter nodding at him. He couldnt help but rejoice because he realized that Elder Shi would finally make a move.
