562: Chapter 562: Just Trade It With !
Seeing Wang Yingjun so anable, Ye Haochuan beckoned with his hand and took out an ordinary jade pendant from his storage ring.
He then said, “See this jade pendant?
It’s worth far more than your damn engagent ring.
Wouldn’t it be better to give it to Shuying?”
Miss Jiang Shuying, standing nearby, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Do I look like a fool?
This jade pendant isn’t nearly as pretty as the diamond ring!
Listening to him insult his diamond ring, Wang Yingjun felt his blood boil.
Glancing at the jade pendant, he imdiately showed contempt, thinking to himself, where does this trash that might’ve been scavenged from a street stall get off being more valuable than my diamond ring?
As if he could read Wang Yingjun’s thoughts, Ye Haochuan chortled, “Ah, Brother Handso, you are unaware, aren’t you?
This jade pendant of mine is a priceless treasure, with a value that truly can’t be compared to that diamond ring of yours.”
Wang Yingjun couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s strange.
Although I’m no expert in jade, I can still tell that your pendant is just ordinary jade.
It doesn’t seem to have anything special about it, does it?”
“Ignorant,” Ye Haochuan snorted.
“Let tell you the truth.
Your diamond ring is at best a decorative trinket.
Other than looking good and satisfying a girl’s vanity, it’s useful for nothing.
But my jade pendant, it was crafted by a supre expert of our tis, and has been consecrated.
It is a rare treasure that can ward off misfortune and ensure safety.”
This jade pendant indeed was as common as they co, but after imbuing it with a talisman from the ‘Complete Collection of Talismans’, it had been refined into a common, defensive talisman instrunt.
For an Innate Expert like himself, this ordinary talisman instrunt wasn’t worth much, but for ordinary people, it was a sought-after treasure.
“Ward off misfortune and ensure safety?
Is it really as mystical as all that?” Wang Yingjun said in disbelief.
“Don’t believe it?” Ye Haochuan chuckled mischievously, thinking there was no negotiation in conning him.
“If you don’t believe it, I can let you experience it for yourself.”
“Oh?” Wang Yingjun’s interest had been piqued by his words, and he didn’t decline.
Imdiately, Ye Haochuan handed over the jade pendant to Wang Yingjun, instructing him to hang it around his neck.
“Alright, let’s go outside,” Ye Haochuan stood up and led Wang Yingjun outside.
Jiang Shuying, knowing her master’s capabilities, saw that there was a good show to watch, naturally followed them outside.
Outside was a busy street with cars coming and going.
Wang Yingjun asked in confusion, “How will I experience it?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Haochuan suddenly sneered, quietly channeling his Innate Gang Qi and pushing him onto the busy street.
“Ah…” Wang Yingjun was terrified, suddenly feeling a gust of wind from behind, completely beyond his control, he flew out and landed on the street.
Beep beep~ Beep beep~
The drivers on the street were startled to see a person flying over and frantically hit their brakes, but it was too late to avoid him now.
I’m done for, my life is over!
Wang Yingjun closed his eyes in despair.
However, in a strange turn of events, he didn’t feel any pain on his body.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the Volkswagen sedan that should have run him over speed past overhead, the wheels nearly grazing his body.
“What’s going on?” Wang Yingjun couldn’t believe his own eyes.
While he was still dumbfounded, the Volkswagen in front had already stopped with the brakes screeching, and the long line of cars behind it followed suit, coming to an abrupt halt.
The driver of the Volkswagen hurriedly got out of the car and, seeing Wang Yingjun unhard, suddenly beca so emotional that tears filled his eyes, “Thank heavens, thank heavens, you are all right…”
However, the driver’s anger flared up almost imdiately, “Are you sick or sothing?
If you want to die, go bang your head against a wall.
There’s no need to drag down with you, dammit!
I’ll kick you to death!”
The more the Volkswagen driver spoke, the angrier he got, and suddenly he kicked out.
However, before his foot connected, he felt a trendous force rebounding back, causing him to clutch his leg and howl in pain incessantly.
It was only then that Wang Yingjun fully realized that it must have been the Jade Pendant Ye Haochuan gave him that was at work.
Thinking this, he took a look at the Jade Pendant hanging around his neck, “No way, could this Jade Pendant really ward off misfortune and ensure safety?”
At this point, the vehicles behind them started honking, cursing, and demanding they make way.
Amidst the cursing, Wang Yingjun embarrassingly got up from the ground and returned to Ye Haochuan and Jiang Shuying.
“How is it?
Brother Handso, this Jade Pendant is quite magical, isn’t it?” Ye Haochuan chuckled with a grin.
“Magical, it’s incredibly magical…” Wang Yingjun’s face was flushed with excitent, having completely forgotten about the inexplicable gust of wind that had sent him flying earlier.
The three returned to the tea house, and Wang Yingjun continued to marvel at the Jade Pendant, incessantly stroking it with great affection.
What’s this guy’s deal?
That Jade Pendant isn’t your wife, so why keep touching it over and over?
Ye Haochuan snorted and stretched out his hand, “Brother Handso, I think it’s about ti you returned the Jade Pendant to , isn’t it?”
It was only then that Wang Yingjun snapped out of his daze and reluctantly took the Jade Pendant off his neck after hemming and hawing for quite a while, his face a picture of reluctance as he said, “This…
this…
Brother Haochuan, can’t you sell this Jade Pendant?
No matter the price, I am willing.”
“Heh.” Ye Haochuan chuckled inwardly, thinking the fish had bitten the hook, and said, “Brother Handso, this Jade Pendant is an invaluable treasure.
I need it for my future wife’s protection.
If you take it, how can I explain it to her?”
“That…” Wang Yingjun imdiately felt troubled but was too attached to part with the Jade Pendant.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, “Right, Brother Haochuan, is it possible to know where the expert who crafted and consecrated this Jade Pendant resides?
Could you let know so I can go find him?”
Heh, this expert, it’s none other than I, did you think I’d tell you?
Am I that foolish?
Ye Haochuan grinned to himself, feigning hesitation, “This is extrely difficult.
If soone is an expert, they are unfathomable and difficult to track.
I don’t know their whereabouts, so how can I tell you?”
Wang Yingjun was instantly disappointed but couldn’t help pleading persistently.
Seeing him like this, Ye Haochuan was inwardly jubilant and said with faux difficulty, “Alright then, in the interest of your sincerity, I’ll give you a chance.
That ring of yours looks sowhat valuable, so let’s trade it for the Jade Pendant.”
Wang Yingjun was on the brink of tears; his fine three-carat diamond ring had been reduced to a ‘trinket’ in his eyes.
However, considering the recent event, the Jade Pendant that could avert misfortune seed much more valuable.
So, without any more fuss, he handed over his diamond ring to Ye Haochuan.
Weighing the diamond ring in his hand, Ye Haochuan was ecstatic, thinking himself quite clever.
A re Jade Pendant had been traded for a valuable diamond ring that, with so refinent, could be far more valuable!
anwhile, Wang Yingjun excitedly presented the Jade Pendant to Jiang Shuying and said with deep affection, “Miss Jiang, Brother Haochuan is right, as a journalist you often encounter trouble.
I am giving you this Jade Pendant in hopes it will keep you away from harm and safe.”
This guy sure knows how to gift soone else’s flowers!
Too bad, the flower may have the intent but the water has no passion.
Ye Haochuan laughed inwardly, glanced at the awkward Jiang Shuying, and teased, “Look, Shuying, Brother Handso cares about you so much, just accept it.”
