Whether by coincidence or deliberate action, there wasn’t much online about the Jade Spirit—just a few sparse entries. But even these few mentions were all statements made by the renowned authorities in the Jade Industry.
The Jade Spirit, a supreme gem among jade stones and also a legend. With its presence, even the highest grade of Emperor Green would have to step aside. The Jade Spirit is the true Uncrowned King!
According to the information, wearing the Jade Spirit for many years could prolong life and preserve youth. Moreover, the better the quality of the Jade Spirit, the more effective it was.
In fact, when people saw this information, many were skeptical. Even if it was top-grade jade, it couldn’t possibly be that miraculous!
But then, when they saw who the author of the article was, they had no choice but to believe.
Because the author was the Jade King known worldwide fifty years ago—Meng Po!
Fifty years earlier, in an era when information was not widely available, Meng Po, the once-celebrated Jade King, had encountered numerous top-grade jades in his life. No one knew the extent of his abilities, only rumors that Meng Po’s hands could turn any rock into jade.
Everyone could only speculate about Meng Po’s abilities, but the fact that he possessed a Jade Spirit was something many wealthy patrons could confirm.
Furthermore, these people revealed something very serious—Meng Po was already in his eighties, fifty years ago!
Yet, from photos of that time, Meng Po looked and seemed physically no more than a man in his forties!
If so, it was indeed the Jade Spirit that he wore that accounted for his youthful appearance!
In this world, how many rich people don’t want to be in good health and live longer? And how many women don’t wish to remain ever young, with everlasting beauty!
Thus, with the Jade Spirit, Yuyuanzhai became hot once again.
This time, it was not only all the rage throughout Xuanjin but even some foreign dignitaries, having heard about it, started using their influence to try and obtain an invitation to the exhibition.
This showed that the upcoming Yuyuanzhai exhibition was bound to push An Yiqing’s career to a new peak!
Just as An Yiqing was bustling about in Yuyuanzhai with Zhang Yuksheng and Hua Yun, preparing for the exhibition, an unexpected visitor walked through the doors of Yuyuanzhai.
"Why are you here?" An Yiqing’s eyes widened as she stared at the man in red standing before her, a look of utmost surprise on her face. How long had it been since she last saw him? It seemed like since the last return banquet for the Daughter of the An Family, this man had vanished without a trace. Not only was he absent from real life, but there was also no gossip about him in entertainment magazines or news. So why had he suddenly appeared today?
"Little girl, after so long, don’t you miss me at all? You didn’t even bother to call!" The man in red, looking devilishly handsome, spoke with a tone of melancholy.
An Yiqing got goosebumps from his husband-like tone and involuntarily shuddered with disapproval.
"Bai Yiming! Speak properly!" she retorted sharply, glaring at him.
Indeed, the man in red was the long-lost Bai Yiming.
Upon hearing An Yiqing’s scolding, Bai Yiming didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled alluringly, his brow and eyes conveying an enchanting charm.
With a blink of his dark eyes, he sent a heart-stirring sultry look her way.
"You ungrateful little thing. Here I am, pining for you day and night, and you, on the other hand, are happily content with Lao San, not even caring to check if I’m dead or alive." Bai Yiming started off joking, but the more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. The thought of his dearly beloved girl being ravaged by Gu Laosan filled him with indignation, making his teeth itch with frustrating jealousy.
