Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1965: The secret of the jade pendant

After a while, Liu Weishan’s wife, Chu Huifang, came into the study with fragrant tea.”My two little friends, have some tea. Old Liu was so busy that he forgot about everything else!”

“Many thanks, granny!” Lin Yi said politely as he took the cup.

“Hehe, you’re welcome. I’m going out to watch TV. Just call me if you need more water. Don’t stand on ceremony.” Chu Huifang said.

“Go do your work, don’t mind us.” 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 Weishan’s skill level was beyond doubt. The jade pendant was quickly fiddled with in Liu Weishan’s hand …

Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi sat quietly to the side, waiting. The two didn’t 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,””Eh, there’s really something inside?”

“Is there really something?” Lin Yi didn’t think that his and sun Jingyi’s guess would turn out to be the truth!

“Yes, 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!” “But it’s more difficult to do so. It may not be completed in one or two days,” said Liu Weishan.

“No need to trouble yourself!” “Old Liu,” Jingyi said suddenly,”since there’s something inside, we’ll just have to make sure it’s intact. It’s fine to destroy the Jade outside.”

Since Jingyi already knew that there was something inside, the Jade wasn’t that important anymore-it could be said that the outside was only there to protect the thing inside, and the Jade wouldn’t be of much use once the thing was taken out.

Besides, she’d decided to give the Jade to Lin Yi-from what he said, it didn’t really matter if the Jade broke, since he just wanted to use it as a material for something-but she didn’t ask about the details.

“Destroy it?” Liu Weishan was a little surprised,”if it’s destroyed, it can’t be restored!”

“It’s fine, I just want the things inside, and the Jade will be … Lin Yi ‘s. ” Jingyi said.

“Yi, is it okay if the Jade is damaged?” Liu Weishan looked at Lin Yi in surprise.

“Sure!” “As long as it’s pure yellow jade, it doesn’t matter if it’s whole or broken,” Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi was going to use it to make the Jade space, and he’d have to break it when he made it, so it didn’t matter if it was broken or intact.

“Oh? I see, that’s 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!” Liu Weishan thought that Lin Yi wanted the whole piece of the Jade from Xuemin’s words-after all, everyone who asked for Jade wanted whole Jade. He’d never heard of anyone asking for broken Jade.

“That’s great!” Lin Yi was surprised and happy at the same time. Jingyi’s Jade wasn’t big, and Lin Yi was afraid that it wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t try it if he didn’t 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.

“But the rest of the small Jade fragments should be in the warehouse in a self-sealing bag. I won’t be able to find them today, so I’ll have to help you find them slowly.” “It’s because there are too many things in the warehouse,”Liu Weishan said.

“It’s okay, there’s no hurry. ” Lin Yi said.

Other than the yellow jade, Lin Yi also needed the colored steel and blue crystal powder. He didn’t have those two things yet, and even if he had the yellow jade now, he wouldn’t need it.

“Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll just break this jade pendant.” Liu Weishan said.

“Alright,” he said. Jingyi nodded-she couldn’t wait to find out what was in the necklace.

He didn’t 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 Jingyi’s eyes were glued to the Jade in Liu Weishan’s hand. Lin Yi was curious about what was inside the Jade as well, so he wouldn’t 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 didn’t find it by chance, who knew how long the silk would stay in the Jade.

“This is it.” Liu Weishan didn’t open the Jade scroll, but placed it on the table.

“Thank you very much, elder Liu!” Lin Yi quickly thanked him. He could see that Liu Weishan was an upright person. He didn’t 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 …

“It’s nothing, it’s just a small matter. ” Liu Weishan said indifferently.

“Jingyi, open it!” Lin Yi said.

“En …” 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! She’d asked her grandfather about her parents many times, but he’d always avoided talking about it. Jingyi was curious, but she could tell that her grandfather had his own difficulties, and so she didn’t ask.

Jingyi’s hands trembled at the thought of finding a clue from a silk scroll …

She picked it up carefully and opened it slowly-she’d thought it was a letter from her parents, but it was a map!

Map? As far as Jingyi was concerned, if it wasn’t a letter, it was probably some sort of practitioner’s Arts-but it was a map! She had a weird feeling about it, and wanted to ask Lin Yi for his opinion, but he wasn’t looking at her. She knew that he was trying to avoid suspicion.

“Lin Yi, take a look at this, this is a map …” Sun Jingyi handed the silk to Lin Yi.

Since it was Jingyi who showed it to him, Lin Yi didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it.
