Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

After hearing the news, Cui Mingyu's eyes lit up. Other jewelry stores also began to imagine whether they could join this auction in the future, hoping to gain more business opportunities from it.

This text uses a similar short storytelling style to describe the display of a rare and precious jade gemstone and the transaction and bidding scene behind it, incorporating the emotional details and interactions of the characters to showcase the charm and competition in the jewelry field.

Qin Su ignored Xu Xiao's presence and then walked into the mall with Tu Qing. Regarding the details of the remaining stone purchases, the Cui family promised to help arrange the return transportation, and the customs duties to be paid were also handled when they left. Qin Su couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought of this troublesome link.

Freed from all the constraints, Qin Su went straight back to her hotel room to meditate. Within an hour, a slight sound called her attention back.

She opened the door and saw Qian Jin, who looked worried. "What's wrong?" Qin Su asked.

It turned out that Xia Jiayi was waiting outside the door, with an anxious look on her face, and handed the phone to Qin Su: "Take a look at the latest news yourself! There have been heated discussions on online forums and social media in the past two days."

Qin Su glanced around and saw the title "A famous female star is suspected of rekindling an old relationship with a business tycoon? Where is **?" The picture below was a screenshot of a conversation between Qin Su and another man (not Xu Xiao). Although the details could not be seen clearly in the photo, judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they were not strangers or had an ordinary relationship.

Qin Su's mouth twitched slightly and said, "This must be a misunderstanding. I don't know the person in the photo." She knew in her heart that this so-called photo was not a real event.

Xia Jiayi's calm explanation made Qin Su feel relieved. She was not interested in the entertainment industry, but the other party's words indirectly confirmed her opinion of Xia Jiayi. She and Tu Qing did have some special feelings.

She didn't care about the online attacks and insults against her. She turned to look at the unpleasant message on her phone, but then at some point she saw an article forwarded by Xia Jiayi.

The article details that the so-called gossip and rumors are nothing but rumors created by others. The content clearly points out that the so-called "rekindled love" is actually just some unfounded speculation.

Hearing this, Qin Su couldn't help but smile. It seems that some rumors always die on their own and don't need too much explanation.

Xia Jiayi's words made the whole situation clearer and gave her a positive explanation for the incident: "You are a kind and principled person. I owed you the elevator rescue, so I am willing to repay you for this kindness. You helped me and to some extent alleviated the negative impact that this ** might have on me."

In fact, Xia Jiayi's experience was related to this. She felt sorry and grateful for it, so she planned to offer some benefits to Qin Su as a reward for her previous help.

In response to Xia Jiayi's question, "Don't these news make you angry? Obviously someone wants to frame you," Qin Su gave a completely different answer:

Before this, a series of events related to Qin Su's own stone auction plan had actually occurred. After evaluation, the rough stone was estimated to be able to fetch at least 5-6 million yuan. Since she had a lot of money on hand, why would she bother with some clowns who were not worth her energy?

Based on the above discussion, Qin Su decided to use this accidental event related to the "past" to conduct some strategic operations - find someone to raise the price and "slaughter" someone in a way that "wrongs the cost". Based on her understanding of the business leaders - such as Xu Xiao's personality type, she thought he might show his purchasing power and might do whatever it takes to obtain this rare item.

Li Chen's eyes slowly focused on an object on the table. It was a strange jade pendant, emerald green in color, inlaid with small stones that flashed with faint light. It was not big, smaller than a walnut, and its texture was as fine as silk.

His attention was drawn to the jade pendant, and he tried to integrate his spiritual consciousness into it. Surprisingly, the jade pendant did not contain spiritual energy, but seemed to be able to lock and store energy.

"This thing can actually store spiritual energy, so useful!" He sighed in his heart, thinking that he could use it to replenish the spiritual energy when he ran out of it during the battle. It was really a wonderful prop.

He put the jade pendant into his arms, "Is this me? I think it suits my taste. Where did you pick it up? I want to find something similar to take back."

His eyes seemed particularly curious and eager.

Lin Yao nodded and responded: "There may be treasures hidden in the valley not far ahead, and it is also the place where some wild plant medicinal herbs grow."

"Which way should we go?" Li Chen asked, his tone full of expectation and a little confusion.

"Just follow this path." Lin Yao answered confidently, "The mountain here is not high and the road is not dangerous."

This sentence instantly made him understand: "It turns out that he was wandering around and got lost and found this place!"

Li Chen coughed lightly and changed the subject. "We can discuss a cooperation. If you can help me, I will let you be the master."

These words made Lin Yao's pupils sparkle with excitement, and she couldn't help but feel a little pain for her own kindness - as if she had been misleading an innocent person.

"Are you done here? We need to get started."

After Lin Yao walked into the house, she told Li Chen to help raise the price, but it would be best not to exceed 60 million, otherwise the goods might not be sold.

Li Chen nodded happily, behaving very submissively.

Li Chen considered opening a small room for him to rest, while observing Li Chen's needs.

"I don't need to rest. I'm not really a 'person'."

His gentle response showed a unique understanding, making the atmosphere more intimate and delicate.

Li Chen responded in a kind tone: "Although from a human perspective, we are equal to humans - people will think we need sleep and food."

"Then I'll be here for you."

Then he disappeared mysteriously, leaving only a sharp and sophisticated long knife on the bed.

Li Chen looked at the sharp blade on the bed and knew that it was a wise decision for him to set up a room nearby. The gap between him and Li Chen made him feel uneasy. If the situation suddenly changed and he couldn't find the other party, it would be a huge risk.

As night fell, he once again entered a deep state of training, while the knife beside him lay quietly, like a loyal guard.

...

The Cui family held a large auction on the second day of August. The Cui family helped them invite guests through their extensive network of relationships. Li Chen thus enjoyed a period of freedom.

Every day, she would stay in the hotel to practice and make talismans. When the auction was about to start, Li Chen took Li Chen into the venue.

What surprised her was that there were quite a few people participating in the auction, and the starting price of the raw ore she displayed was as high as 200,000 yuan. With one hour left, before the auction officially started, Li Chen found an excuse to go online and check the news, but suddenly became aware of the cold air around her. She looked up and saw a thin black smoke slowly condensing into a long snake, with a piece of paper in its mouth. In the eyes of everyone around her, the snake seemed to be non-existent.

A bolt of lightning directly blasted the boulder apart, dust spread all around, and an ancient stone tablet also fell into Su Ming's hands.

"Su Ming, who is looking for stones, will meet you at the southwest corner of Longshan Peak at 15:30. I am looking forward to it." The last sentence was signed by Li Xingchen.

After a moment's thought, Su Ming knew that "Longshan Peak" must refer to one of the famous mountains in the eastern country of J Province. Even if he used the flying method, it would be impossible to reach it within an hour. But thinking of the scene he saw in the convenience store last time, it seemed that there was a way to transcend reality in this "land", or he could teleport in this way.

This idea gave Su Ming an inspiration - if he could learn some information about the secret map during this journey, it would be of great benefit to him in the future, especially when he needed to move quickly to different locations.

With a slight gleam in his eyes, Su Ming realized that this was indeed a journey he had to experience personally.

As for the signer, Li Xingchen, it was not surprising that he wrote down his name on such an occasion, and it might be a threat to him. But Su Ming found it funny. Even though they were not on good terms, why did Pei Ying have such high confidence in her loyalty?

She decided to stand up and told Yan Feng to stay behind, explaining that she had to go back to her residence for some personal matters. At the same time, she asked Qing Feng to supervise Yan Feng's safety, hoping to ensure that Yan Feng would not encounter malicious attacks from Pei Ying, and to prevent him from getting lost. In the past few days, Su Ming has fully experienced Yan Feng's characteristics as a "direction idiot" - even a simple process from the room to the restaurant can get lost. Therefore, let her understand that even in seemingly fixed objects and environments (such as walls and space), these entities are like nothing to the "invisible body" of souls like him.

When Su Ming entered the hotel again, before opening the door, the scene before her eyes was one of desolation and darkness. There were several wandering ghosts on the road, staring at her familiar and greedy eyes.

This road is the legendary "Ghost Road".

Su Ming chuckled and stepped into this realm. Immediately, a wave of attraction from the souls of living beings drove a group of wandering souls to surge up, and then they were burned by the fire element and disappeared into dust.

At this moment, Su Ming looked into the distance intently, and a dark and unusually beautiful flower came into his sight. The petals were like saucers, large enough to cover an ordinary wash basin.

What a wonderful experience! Not only are there strange landscapes that attract people's interest in exploration, but in addition to this adventure, you can also collect such precious treasures that are of great benefit to your own practice. Isn't it a gift from God!

Picking fruits along the way, you will seem to be transformed into a curious child, exploring everywhere and looking forward to the joy of harvest.
