Chapter 289: What a Coincidence, I’m Also Looking for Something
"Indeed, indeed!" Zhuo Qing laughed, "If Brother Jin had found it, he certainly wouldn’t still be in this small town, he would have returned to the mountain long ago. But what exactly is the item Brother Jin is searching for? If you say it out loud, perhaps I could help look for it too."
Jin Zijin clasped his hands together, immediately smiled and said, "In that case, I won’t be polite. The item I’m looking for...is naturally the treasure of the Dao Family—the Youying Pearl."
As soon as these words came out, the two who had been pretending to be cheerful couldn’t keep it up anymore, and in the quiet courtyard, the air became stagnant, with only the sound of wood crackling in the small stove that was slowly boiling the medicine.
Gu Youyou and Abao, like every blade of grass and tree in the courtyard, continued to be ignored, while the two men faced each other; one with a smile on his face, the other as solemn as a silent night.
Zhuo Qing seemed taken aback that Jin Zijin would speak so bluntly about his search for the Youying Pearl, or perhaps it was so sudden that he didn’t know how to respond.
Jin Zijin still had a smile on his lips, as if the Youying Pearl were just an ordinary bead, without a care in the world.
How could something that the Tianzong elder brother has spent years searching for be just an ordinary bead?
Abao turned its head to look at Gu Youyou, who gently stroked its forehead and made a shushing gesture to it.
If others treat us as invisible, then let’s be quietly invisible.
But she was a bit curious, exactly which was more important: herself or the Dao Family’s treasured Youying Pearl that they were talking about?
This is rather interesting, clearly, the man named Zhuo Qing came for her, but now there is talk of something else. Perhaps for him, the Youying Pearl is more important.
