Chapter 65: Roping In

Zhai Yu held his breath, clutching the jade pendant tightly. An enigmatic expression flickered across his eyes, emanating a peculiar energy that Chu Qing could distinctly sense.

It was as if he had activated his spiritual vision and could clearly see the direction, flow, and even the value of the energy.

This is probably the Golden Pupils he talked about.

Lost in contemplation, Chu Qing pondered the state of affairs. In a world where most cultivation techniques failed to captivate him, it was the lesser-known methods that held his interest. After all, this world possessed its own underlying principles and traditions.

For example, Chu Qing was very interested in the Golden Pupils.

Zhai Yu looked at it for a long time and suddenly raised his head, his face filled with shock.

“This… This is too expensive…”

Zhai Yu smiled bitterly. Although this piece of jade was valuable, it was not as simple as it seemed.

Zhai Yu keenly perceived the immense energy emanating from the jade. While uncertain of its precise purpose, he had a distinct awareness that it held significant complexity, far from being an ordinary object.

Zhai Yu’s faith in Chu Qing was unwavering. How could someone capable of casually producing an item like a Spirit Stone, which didn’t even exist in their previous world, be so naive as to give a jade stone worth over 100,000 yuan to someone?

“It’s not that expensive. It’s just a small token of my appreciation.”

Chu Qing smiled. As expected, Zhai Yu was especially sensitive to such a treasure. It seemed like Zhai Yu knew the value of this jade very well.

“Does it have any effect?”

Zhai Yu’s throat felt a little dry. He licked his lips and asked.

“Well, it doesn’t have any special effects.”

Chu Qing paused for a moment and continued, “It can save your life and extend it. At the same time, it has some minor effects.”

Zhai Yu felt his breathing quicken. Only then did he realize that Chu Qing had called him yesterday to ask about the jade. It turned out that he wanted to prepare a gift for him.

For a moment, Zhai Yu’s heart was filled with complicated thoughts.

As an illegitimate child, he had never received any recognition from a young age. It might have been more tolerable if he had been born a girl, but being a boy added further complications to his situation.

Fortunately, he had displayed unprecedented talent in the cultivation of the Golden Pupils and was sensitive to business opportunities. That was why the family recognized him. However, even so, he had never obtained anything extra from the family.

He did not expect that he would receive such an expensive thank-you gift just for helping Chu Qing resolve a few troubles. This confused him.

“Take it.”

As if seeing the confusion in Zhai Yu’s eyes, Chu Qing tightened his grip on the jade pendant.

“Okay then, I’ll accept it.”

There was a hint of gratitude in Zhai Yu’s eyes. Chu Qing smiled and nodded.

At that moment, Zhai Yu suddenly thought of something. Chu Qing had just bought this jade last night. It had only been a day, but he had already made it.

The value of this piece of jade was at least 10 million yuan above the market!

The things he had personally verified were undoubtedly correct. That’s precisely why Zhai Yu accumulated around ten million yuan in pure profits in less than two years!

With this in mind, Zhai Yu’s gaze now held a hint of awe, expressing his reverence for a formidable young individual who was about to make a name for himself in Jinmen City!

“Let’s go eat.”

Zhai Yu suppressed the complicated thoughts. He stepped on the accelerator and the Bugatti Veyron roared away.

The place where Zhai Yu brought Chu Qing to was an unusual hotpot restaurant.

Smelling the intoxicating fragrance, Chu Qing couldn’t help but feel tempted. After coming here for so long, he had really never eaten hotpot.

The name of this restaurant was Jinmen Lamb Hotpot.

It seemed that Zhai Yu was already a regular customer here. The waiter came to their side enthusiastically.

“Brother Yu, will you have the usual?”

“Yes, I’ll have all your signature dishes.”

Although the waiter was a little surprised, he still nodded. She couldn’t help but start to guess Chu Qing’s identity behind Zhai Yu.

Chu Qing was dressed casually in a lightweight sports outfit, with ordinary sports shoes that appeared to be around 500 to 600 yuan in value. While Chu Qing’s family was moderately affluent, he never placed much importance on his attire. As long as it was lightweight and comfortable, it suited him just fine.

However, Chu Qing’s handsome face made her imagination run wild. Could it be that these two people had that kind of relationship?!

What a waste…

Chu Qing didn’t notice the waitress’s strange gaze. Even if he did, he wouldn’t say anything. He had seen this kind of gaze many times.

Chu Qing’s curiosity was piqued by the embellishments of the shop. He had heard about this establishment before—it was renowned for its luxurious offerings and top-notch service. Chu Qing couldn’t help but entertain the idea of visiting and experiencing it himself.

He did not expect Zhai Yu to bring him here today to broaden his horizons..
