Chapter 937
“The reason it is called a jade palm is not because it is really jade, but because it is shiny and translucent, rather like jade, but in reality it is two different substances from jade.It has been speculated that it was this unknown and mysterious substance that led to that last magical result, so it follows that the rumors may not be false.
The reason why Mr. Gu is willing to display this treasure for everyone to study and observe today is because such a big thing is really difficult to do by one’s own strength, because these twelve pieces of jade were scattered all over the world in the beginning, and if one wanted to find all twelve pieces by one’s own strength, it would only be difficult to do so in one’s lifetime.
All of you appearing today are respected and influential people in the world, and Mr. Gu would like to invite everyone to join in this search for the heavenly book of jade, and whoever finds it then, or provides useful clues, can all enjoy a successful meal together after the jade has been gathered, and enjoy the feast together!”
The moderator’s voice trailed off, and everyone in the room was still confused for a long time.
What?
Let’s find the book of heaven and jade together?Enjoy a successful meal together?
A joint venture?Is this true?
There were quite a few people present who knew Gu Siqian and knew that the words coming out of this man’s mouth would basically not be a lie.
Therefore, one was not in an excited mood.
At this time, the moderator invited Kussian to the stage.
Gu Si Qian stepped up on his long legs.
He didn’t really have anything to say per se, Nangong Jin had given him this task for no reason other than his influence in the Dao.
Now that the Chinese Association was gone, and the biggest force, excluding the Nan Clan, was the Dragon Corps, he had no way to find anyone else without looking for Gu Siqian.
He looked at the audience below, and said in a deep voice, “What the host just said is basically what I’m going to say, all those who want to peek into the true nature of this treasure, can provide me with valuable clues, or directly take out this piece of jade, please rest assured, I can guarantee with my personality, as long as I have contributed to this matter, I will never forget!His name, in the future, on the day when the twelve pieces of jade are gathered, he will be able to see what this feast is really like.”
Someone at the bottom immediately asked, “Just taking a look?Can we get a piece of the action?”
“Yes, after all, it was a treasure offering too, so we should have a share of the results, right?”
Gu Si Qian looked at these people indifferently, a cool smile curving the corners of his mouth.
He said in a loud voice, “After the final synthesis of the heavenly book of jade, what exactly will it look like, none of us know, so I really have no way to guarantee that by that time, all those who provide clues, or donate the jade to the jade, will be able to taste its benefits, I can only guarantee that by then everyone will be able to witness the results.
And then, even if you don’t take anything out, until you have gathered all the jade, this is just an ordinary thing to play with, it’s really no use, it’s a waste of its own value not to mention, just because of the missing piece, it’s very likely that this secret will be buried forever, and no one will ever be able to unravel it.
We are all bright-hearted people, as well as people who cherish blessings and treasures, I believe that none of us are willing to let this secret perpetuate on earth, and let this treasure fade completely, that’s why I found you all, I hope that you can work together, how about we find the thing together and witness the miracle together?”
There was silence down below as the words trailed off.
No one spoke for a long time.
Gu Si Qian looked at the silent crowd, and after a moment of silence, he said again, “If you are not satisfied, I can make another promise that anyone who has contributed to this matter can make a request to me, as long as it is something that does not go against the principle.This promise is valid until the treasure is found, and you are welcome to come forward with clues.”
The bottom of the room was buzzing with excitement when that was said.
There were a lot of people who had started crossing their fingers, and the whole place was in an uproar.
After Gu Si Qian finished speaking, he didn’t linger on the stage any longer.
He stepped off the stage and walked over to Bella Qiao, who was sitting in the first row next to him, and they looked at each other without having to say anything, their minds already knowing what they were thinking.
Finally, the host announced that everyone could observe the piece of jade up close, but for safety reasons, only one person could go up there at a time, no touching, no opening the glass case, and only observation through the case.
This was a bit of a leap of faith for everyone.
Even Lin Song was a little curious after hearing Gu Siqian’s words.
He didn’t know about the deal between Gu Siqian and Nangong Jin, but assumed that Gu Siqian really believed that this stuff could bring back the dead.
Not poking him lightly in the arm, he asked with a smile, “Eh, is it really that magical?It feels like watching a fairy tale where you can summon the God of Heaven by gathering the Seven Dragon Balls?”
Gu Si Qian gave him a faint glance.
He said quietly, “If you don’t know, don’t say anything.”
Lin Song cut a cry and whispered, “I’m telling you, we’re all young people living in the modern world, so feudal superstitions are not acceptable.”
Bella Qiao couldn’t stand it any longer and interrupted him, saying, “We didn’t want to find it ourselves, but the Nan Clan told us to find it.”
Lin Song was startled and squared off at once.
The Nanns?
The last time Nan Muyong said that, he was there and of course knew that it must not be that simple when it involved the Nan Clan.
He frowned, looked at Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao, and asked, “What do you mean?Have you gone to the Nannies?What do they say?”
Gu Si Qian was helpless, knowing that if he didn’t explain it to him, he would probably keep asking questions.
So they told him about the day, when they went together to see Nangong Yu of the Nan Clan, and ended up being led to the back of the garden to meet Nangong Jin, and the deal between the three of them.
Lin Song sat there in shock for a long time after hearing that.
He swallowed his saliva and looked around to make sure no one beside him could hear the three of them say, before lowering his voice, “Are you saying that the Nan Clan is not actually run by Nangong Yu, but by another person named Nangong Jin?”
Kuskan nodded.
“Why?Who’s that?Wasn’t it Nangong Yul who was the head of their family?How did another one come out of nowhere?”
Kitty Jo’s head ached to stroke her forehead.
“We don’t know anything about that, except that the man looked to be of a much higher status than Nangong Yu, because Nangong Yu was very respectful of him, and by the way, Nangong Yu looked to be fifty or sixty, and the man looked to be no more than thirty years old.”
Chapter 938
“It is reasonable to say that even with great ability, he should be considered a junior, but I don’t know why Nangong Yu treats him with the same special respect as he does his own ancestor.”
Lin Song listened and laughed hehehe.
“Don’t tell me, what if it’s really someone’s ancestor?”
Kusken frowned at him.
“Don’t talk nonsense, the Nan Clan is very complicated, what we’ve seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg, there might be deeper secrets, don’t go around making this matter known, just forget about it.”
Linzon made a motion of zipping his mouth shut with a zip and then compared it to an ok pose.
“Understood.”
A few people whispered while the other, who wanted to go on stage and observe that treasure, had finished observing it.
The host announced that the party was over, and everyone headed back with a sense of satisfaction.
Gu Si Qian and Bella Qiao also left the venue.
No one had expected that the master behind this treasure hunt held by Lin Song would actually be Gu Si Qian.
And such a bombshell announcement, so to speak.
Everyone’s feelings were complicated, and at the same time, there were a lot of people’s hearts racing.
After all, it was a treasure that was rumored to be fabulous out there, and who wouldn’t want to get to the bottom of its secrets?
By this time, Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao were already on the train back to the castle.
The car was quiet, the driver was Qin Yue, and there was no one else but Gu Siqian and Bella Qiao.
Bella Qiao was a little worried and asked, “Si Qian, do you think it’s really effective for us to do this?Is someone really going to clue us in?”
Kusken said quietly, “It will.”
“Why are you so sure?”
The man turned to look at her, his deep eyes shining with inscrutable brilliance.
“Because of man’s greed.”
“Greed?”
“Yes, everyone knew the origin of this treasure, but didn’t know at the time that it had twelve pieces and that it needed twelve pieces to be put together in order to exhibit a special function, and now they all know, and when faced with such a great temptation, no one can resist not wanting to know what the end result is, so anyone with a clue in hand will definitely provide it to us.”
Bella Qiao fell silent.
She whispered, “I’m just a little scared that this is going to start up again, like it did five years ago.”
She said, turning to look out the window and drifting her gaze far away, as if she could see people and things far away through the heavy fog.
Kusken reached out and took her hand.
He said quietly, “No, it won’t.”
The man’s voice was low and hoarse with an unexplainable magnetism, as if it could give people a reassuring strength.
“Five years ago was five years ago, and now is now, and we are stronger than ever, and no storm is too great to fear.”
Georgie turned her head, saw his steadfast gaze, and curled her lips.
The car soon stopped in front of the castle gates.
The black carved doors opened in response to the sound, and just as the car was about to drive into the castle, a human voice suddenly came from not far away.
“Wait a minute!Mr. Gu, wait a minute!”
As they froze, Gu Siqian instructed Qin Yue to park first, then turned around and saw a middle-aged man running this way.
It was the same Jiang Da who had come to Lin Song and wanted to give him that land, Jiang.
Kuskan’s eyes were deep, lowering the window to look at him.
“Something wrong with Jiang?”
With a friendly smile on his silly fat face, Jiang Da nodded and said, “Mr. Gu, what you said at the venue before, does it count?”
The corner of Gu Si Qian’s lips hooked, “Of course, but does Jiang have any clues?”
Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, “Yes and yes, if you want to know, I’ll tell you right away.”
Gu Si Qian’s eyes tightened.
There was no urgency for him to speak now, but instructed Qin Yue, “Open the door and let Jiang up.”
Then, before turning to the car window, he said, “If Mr. Jiang doesn’t mind, go in for a drink and we’ll talk while we drink.”
Kang Da’s face was pleased, and he agreed, “Eh, good, thank you Mr. Gu.”
Jiang Da was a businessman in Lin City who was neither too big to be considered big, nor too small to be considered particularly small.
His real estate business, doing has always been tepid, making money, but also lose a lot of money, so after working so hard for so many years, still has not been able to succeed in the world of celebrities, at best, even a small rich family.
In the past, a person of his status like him would never have been able to climb into any kind of friendship with someone like Gu Siqian.
Even less likely to say come to this castle.
But today is different.
Gu Si Qian had put out the word before that anyone who provided a useful clue could make a request to him.
This request, as long as it doesn’t go against the principle, he will help the other party achieve.
It’s the equivalent of a blank check.
To get a blank check from someone like Gu Siqian, that would be like giving a path to an even keel, so how could people not be impressed?
Because of this, when Gu Siqian said that he was willing to let everyone share in the feast, the reaction was flat.
But in the end, he says he’s willing to owe the other guy a favor and meet a request at will, and the bottom is downright hilarious.
At this time, Jiang Da carefully sat in the car, the car all the way into the castle, inside, the pomp and circumstance beyond his imagination, all the way to see the eyes are straight.
He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, he had heard that Gu’s castle was beautifully changed, and now he came in to know that what was said outside was true.
The car stopped in front of a building, Qin Yue opened the door for them, the three got out and Gu Si Qian made an inviting gesture, “Mr. Jiang, please come inside.”
Jiang Da was afraid that he had never thought in his life that he would be treated so courteously by someone like Gu Si Qian.
Even modestly let, three people together into the house, after sitting down, Ober has personally brewed tea out, Gu Siqian first sipped the tea, before asking, “Jiang just said, there are clues about the heavenly book of jade?”
Kangda, who was originally drinking tea, put it down at the news and nodded his head in a constrained manner, saying, “Yes.”
“I wonder what the clue is?Tell me about it.”
Kangda swallowed his spittle before speaking in a conversational manner.
It turned out that he had only paid attention to this item after hearing about the miraculous effects of this Heavenly Book of Jade before.
But he knew his own strength, possession is not daring to think, as the saying goes, the peasant is not guilty, pregnant wall, even if someone wants to give it to him, he does not dare to take ah.
So he just paid the usual silent attention, never thinking that he would one day find himself.
But as is often the case with God, the more you want to look for it, the more you can’t find it.
But instead, those who did not care to look for it, saw it by the trickery of fate.
Chapter 939
It was when he was traveling to China, he passed by a small village, and heard that there was a master in the village who liked to collect antiques, that master was more than ninety years old, but his body was strong, when he was young, he traveled all over the world to collect antiques, when he was old, he didn’t want to stay in the city, because the air in the city was bad, so he moved to the countryside with his granddaughter.
Kangda usually has some research on antiques, and is considered an enthusiast, so he came to visit, wanting to see some of the antique stuff he was concerned about.
The other did not turn him away, but received him warmly, and brought out for his viewing all the good things he had.
The old man was a man of the world, and wasn’t afraid to give him a direct snatch after he had finished viewing it, and only after he had finished did he put it away.
Another smile kept him for a meal, which sent him away.
It was at that time that Kangda saw the piece of jade.
According to him, the piece of jade was placed in an inconspicuous place, which can be said to be casually thrown on an ancient table, mixed in with other worthless bits and pieces of trinkets.
Those things looked like they had recently been dug out of the earth and still had the smell of fresh earth on them, and so did the piece of jade.
I don’t know if it was the old man’s clumsy eyes that didn’t see the value of that piece of jade, or if he simply didn’t like that type of thing, but the jade was left there like that without the soil being swept clean.
At that time, he saw a glimpse of it on his way out, and originally wanted to take a closer look at it, but reluctantly the plane was about to take off, so he couldn’t linger any longer.
Plus, the old man had no intention of keeping him, so he had to leave.
Because of this, it was only a quick glance at the time, and he wasn’t actually 100% sure that the item was the Heavenly Book of Jade.
Now, it’s just a risk to try and provide this clue to Kuskan.
Gu Si Qian was silent for a few seconds after hearing that.
He looked at Kang Da and asked, “That old man you were talking about, what’s his name?”
Jiang Da said, “His surname is Qiu, I don’t know his exact name, I only know that his nickname in the Jianghu is Old Dog Qiu, the older or unfamiliar ones call him that behind his back, even the local juniors who respect him, just call him Old Master Qiu.”
Kuskan nodded.
“I see, thank you for this lead, I’ll contact you after I verify this lead, and then you can ask me directly for anything.”
Kangda was busy standing up, a thousand thanks.
“Thank you Mr. Gu, there’s no need to say anything about the request, if I can help you, it would be my greatest honor.”
Gu Siqian curled his lips and ignored these polite words of his.
Sent Ober to escort him out before discussing it with Georgie.
“How much of what he said do you think is true and how much is not?”
Bella Qiao chimed in and said, “I don’t think he’ll lie to us, he seems to be a pretty honest person, and it’s been said that his style has been good all these years, besides, he wouldn’t dare to lie to you, as for the authenticity of this clue.”
She paused and lost her smile, “Who knows?This got that place, and I didn’t know until I saw that thing.”
Gu Si Qian nodded, “Then we’ll leave for China tomorrow.”
Bella Qiao was stunned and surprised, “So soon?”
“Of course, I’ve already put out the news about the Heavenly Book of Jades, and now everyone knows that there are twelve pieces of this thing, and there must be others who want to gather it all together, not just Nangong Jin and us.
There’s no guarantee that Kangda will tell anyone else since this information has been revealed to us, so we need to make the first move.”
Only then did Bella Qiao respond and nodded, “Okay, then I’ll go pack my things right away.”
“Good.”
After Bella Qiao went upstairs, Gu Si Qian went to order Qin Yue to arrange the vehicles and planes for tomorrow’s trip, and at the same time, he made a call to Jenny Jing.
Jenny was still a little surprised to receive his call.
Gu Si Qian didn’t hide the reason why he was going to China this time from her, because he knew that since he was within China, whatever he did, they would know.
It’s better to set the record straight from the start than to get suspicious of each other then.
It was a matter of Bella Qiao’s life and death, and I believe Jenny and Biden Lu would not sit idly by.
As expected, after hearing this, Jenny immediately agreed to let them come over first, and she and Biden Lu would arrange the rest on their own.
Only then did Gu Siqian hang up the phone.
As soon as he hung up the phone on his side, Jenny Jing’s side pondered for a while, immediately handed over to Mo Nan and went to check on this Master Qiu’s affairs.
Kusken and the others wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow, and with a dozen hours to go before then, she hoped to find out something useful and save herself the trouble of having to come over tomorrow and start all over again.
This matter was not difficult for Mo Nan to investigate since it was within the territory of China.
Soon, she checked the news and returned.
According to Mo Nan’s investigation, this Master Qiu, in his youth, was indeed a very famous antique dealer.
I’ve traveled extensively over the decades and saved a lot of good stuff, but I don’t know if it’s because I’ve lost too much virtue by dumping antiques and stuff like this, or for some other reason.
One had two sons and two daughters-in-law, and surprisingly they all died one after the other for some inexplicable reason.
His wife also died at an early age, leaving a child when his son died, and he brought that child up with him, who later married and had a daughter.
It was thought that the family would always live peacefully, but I don’t know if it was a real curse, but the couple also died in a car accident.
When they died, they left behind a girl named Little Flower, and Master Qiu couldn’t bear to see the little girl wandering around, so he took her with him, but he was afraid that he would grasp her again and let her die like her grandparents and parents, so he gave her an even meaner nickname, Dog Egg.
In a country place, a boy called a dog’s egg, people just laugh and get over it and don’t think anything of it yet.
But girls are different.
It’s not enough that Little Flower never acknowledges her name, but Master Qiu changed it and placed her in the home of a good friend in the countryside, visiting her every once in a while.
He was homesick for his hometown, and when he returned to the countryside, he received his great-granddaughter for her old age and the inconvenience of living there.
But there was no way to know if it was really a curse of fate or something else.Shortly after this great-granddaughter returned to him, she suddenly disappeared.
Yes, not dead, but missing.
