Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1962: Chapter 1960-three hundred taels of silver

“Where are your other brothers and sisters? Won’t they become a bargaining chip for the sun family’s interests?” Lin Yi asked.

“I ... I don’t have a father or mother, if I have to sacrifice someone, I’ll be the first one ...” Jingyi smiled bitterly.”Moreover, I’m considered one of the more powerful cultivators in this generation. I’ve already cultivated to stage one top class, which just so happens to meet the conditions of marriage between the other families and the sun family, so ...”

“Your parents ... Sun Yikai said ...” Lin Yi stopped here and didn’t continue. This topic was just something he said casually, but he regretted it right after-it was a sad story, after all, and he didn’t want to bring it up too abruptly.

“They’re not here anymore, it’s okay, I’m used to it ...” Sun Jingyi smiled bitterly,” “It’s just that I was too young at that time. I didn’t even know what my parents looked like. I only had this small jade pendant they left me ...”

With that, Jingyi removed the jade pendant from her chest, caressing it in her hands-it was clear that she really did treasure it.

“Pure yellow jade!” Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the Jade-he didn’t think that the one on Jingyi’s chest was a pure yellow jade! It was one of the materials he needed to refine the Jade space!

“Pure yellow jade? You know him?” Jingyi paused at Lin Yi’s excited expression-no matter how precious the material was, Lin Yi shouldn’t be this surprised, right?

“Can I have a look?” Lin Yi asked.

“Of course you can!” Jingyi nodded and handed the pendant to Lin Yi.

“It’s indeed a pure yellow jade. ” Lin Yi looked at the pendant in his hand and took a deep breath. He wanted it for himself, but he knew that this was the only thing Jingyi’s parents left for her. Even if he needed it, he couldn’t just ask her for it.

But Lin Yi was still fondling the Jade in his hand.

“You seem to like this jade pendant a lot?” Sun Jingyi saw the possessiveness in Lin Yi’s eyes and was surprised. Lin Yi didn’t lack money, and although this pure yellow jade was rare, it wasn’t a priceless treasure. It was nothing in the eyes of these big families and practitioners!

Perhaps this pure yellow jade could be sold for a good price at the auction, but in the eyes of the sun family and old man sun, it was just a good accessory. These people didn’t even have the intention to covet it.

“Yeah.” Lin Yi nodded, not hiding anything.”To tell you the truth, I need the pure yellow jade to make something. If this pure yellow jade wasn’t something your parents left for you, I would definitely ask you for it.”

“Ah!” Jingyi didn’t expect Lin Yi to need the Jade-she really wanted to help him, but the Jade was the only thing her parents left for her, and the only way she could find her parents was through it. She couldn’t just give it to Lin Yi, “I’m sorry ... I wanted to find my parents through this jade pendant one day, so ...”

“Ah, I understand. That’s why I said that.” Lin Yi picked up the Jade, ready to return it to Jingyi. He was still a little reluctant, but he was able to put it down. Just as he was about to return the Jade, he couldn’t help but let out a surprised “eh”!

“What’s wrong?” Jingyi didn’t understand why Lin Yi was so surprised.

“This jade pendant ...” Lin Yi really needed the pure yellow jade, so he checked it a little more carefully. Just as he was about to return it to Jingyi, he suddenly found a very small crack on the jade pendant!

If it wasn’t for Lin Yi’s sharp eyes, and the fact that he was facing the light, he wouldn’t have noticed!

“What’s wrong?” Jingyi asked as she looked at Lin Yi’s weird expression.

“This jade pendant looks like it’s made from two halves?” Lin Yi said after putting the Jade in front of his eyes and studying it for a while.

“Combined together?” Jingyi blinked and moved her head closer, following Lin Yi’s gaze to the Jade. She couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise-there was a fine line on the Jade, and it wasn’t the irregular kind-it was straight, like it was cut open and then put back together ...

Jingyi was so surprised at the crack that she’d forgotten that she was in a position where her face was touching Lin Yi’s ...

“It looks like it was really cut and then put together again. However, it was done very carefully and it wasn’t obvious. If I didn’t really need pure yellow jade, I probably wouldn’t be able to see it so clearly.” Lin Yi said. The crack wouldn’t be visible if one didn’t look closely under the light.

This discovery surprised Jingyi-she’d been wearing this pendant since she was little, and while she’d played with it a lot, she’d never noticed a crack on it. In her eyes, it was probably a token, and she didn’t think it’d be two pieces of jade stuck together ...

“Then ... Why did you do that? Could it be that this jade pendant was once broken and then repaired?” Jingyi was also looking at the Jade in Lin Yi’s hand, confused.

“I don’t know, but the possibility of natural damage is relatively small. Even if this jade pendant was broken, it couldn’t have been broken into two so neatly. Moreover, this gap is in the middle of the side of the jade pendant. How powerful must one’s means be to have such an effect?” Lin Yi shook his head, denying her guess.

“So, it’s man-made?” Jingyi asked.

“It’s possible, but I don’t know why. ” “But I have a theory ...” Lin Yi said.

“What speculation?” Jingyi asked quickly-it was natural for her to be in a rush when it came to her parents.

“If I’m not wrong, there should be something inside this jade pendant!” “This Jade was cut open by some special technique and then fixed back together,” Lin Yi said. “Maybe there’s something inside it ...”

“Argh! In that case, there might be something left behind by my parents in here?” Jingyi said, a little excited at Lin Yi’s words.

“Of course, this is just my guess.” Lin Yi smiled bitterly,”plus, the Jade’s broken, and it’s obviously hard to fix ... But I really don’t want your pure yellow jade ...”

Lin Yi’s words made Jingyi roll her eyes at him.”Of course I know you’re not. Your explanation makes it seem like you’re trying to hide your true intentions!”
