Xia Muqing nodded.
She had only come to try her luck.
The answer she had gotten was what she had guessed.
This jade pendant was indeed an ordinary one.
Could the jade pendant that Jiang Yifan had seen when he was young, be a similar one? Or could there be more than one piece of this jade in the first place?
Xia Muqing was stowing away her jade pendant when an old master walked over.
The old master was an ancient man over a hundred years old.
He walked with trembling steps as he shouted, “Miss, please hold on.
”
Xia Muqing turned around and asked, “Old Master, what’s the matter?”
The old master pointed at the jade pendant in her hand and asked, “Can you show me the jade pendant?”
.
.
.
Xia Muqing naturally nodded.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to move, she took the initiative and handed the jade to him.
The old master’s hand trembled as he picked up the jade pendant.
His eyes were turbid and his eyelids were drooping, covering almost half of his eyes.
Xia Muqing suspected that he couldn’t see clearly.

When the old master scrutinized the jade pendant, his expression was a little subdued and solemn.
He looked around the shop.
He flipped it around in his hand like it was a treasure.
This scene also attracted the attention of the shopkeeper.
He asked, “Master, what kind of treasure is this?”
He had just taken a look at it.
That pendant was clearly not a good piece of jade.
It could even possibly be carved from stone.
The old master glanced at him and said, “You’re still too young.
”
Xia Muqing wanted to laugh when she heard that.
Although the shopkeeper was indeed young compared to the old man, he was after all a middle-aged man.
That sounded ridiculous.
The shopkeeper respected the old master very much.
He bowed and said, “Please enlighten me, Master.
”
The old master held the jade pendant and didn’t answer his question.
Instead, he looked at Xia Muqing and asked, “Miss, where did you get this jade pendant from?”
Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows and asked, “Can’t this jade pendant be mine?”
The old master sized her up and smiled.
“This jade pendant can’t be yours.
”
Xia Muqing was a little puzzled and wanted to probe, but the old master stopped her.
He returned the jade pendant to Xia Muqing and said, “No matter how you obtained this jade pendant, it’s better to manage it properly.
Otherwise, you might be in peril.
”
Xia Muqing was shocked and asked, “Will a second piece appear in this world?”
The old master laughed and said, “That’s impossible.
There’s only one piece of such jade.
”
Xia Muqing frowned and wanted to press on, but the old master had already made an excuse that he was tired and returned to the backyard.
Xia Muqing wanted to chase after him but was stopped by the shopkeeper.
“Miss, please leave.
If my master doesn’t want to say anything, he definitely won’t.
”
Xia Muqing held the jade pendant and walked out of the pawnshop.
She looked at the jade pendant in her hand and thought to herself.
This jade wasn’t really an ordinary one.
If there’s only one piece in the world, that means that the jade pendant that Jiang Yifan saw when he was young was this exact piece.
Then was the destruction of the Jiang family related to Ye Qingxuan?
She had been thinking about something as she walked and didn’t notice the person outside.
She bumped into a little beggar.
The jade pendant in her hand flew out as well.
She widened her eyes and quickly reached out to catch the jade.
If it fell to the ground, it would shatter.
She moved quickly, but the other person was faster than her.
The little beggar moved swiftly and grabbed the jade.
Xia Muqing heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you.
Please return the jade to me.
”
The little beggar smiled and said, “There is something wrong with what you said.
I was almost knocked into by you and I helped you to save the jade pendant.
Is thank you enough?”
Only then did Xia Muqing take a closer look at the little beggar.
He was a young man and he was obviously a beggar, but the aura he gave off was unlike that of a beggar.
She asked, “What do you want?”
