Imperial Treasure-Chapter 895 - 545: Stone? (Returning to One Thousand Years - He’s Jade +3)_2
"How did he describe this stone tablet?"
Sui Yi’s meaning was clear to Xiao Xianting, so he said, "He said it was passed down from his ancestors. He doesn’t merely want to sell it, but rather, he wants to know its actual details before discussing the price."
From the ancestors? It’s a commonly shared explanation, but the purpose is somewhat interesting.
Sui Yi smirked, put down his teacup, and said, "I’ll accompany you this time."
Xiao Xianting nodded, "Then I’ll contact him now."
Before Sui Yi confirmed with a nod, he naturally wouldn’t agree to others.
Of course, if it were someone else, this stone would have already been forcibly taken away.
After a while, Xiao Xianting hung up the phone, "It’s all set. He’s waiting for us at home."
Sui Yi nodded.
"Yi, I’m going out, you..."
"Okay."
Yi didn’t plan to go together, as she was still in a special period of recovery. If danger arose, she’d only be a burden to Sui Yi. If there was no danger, then there was no need to go...
"Alright."
Sui Yi knew Yi was in a recovery period. Walking short distances was possible, but she couldn’t easily act. And this trip...
This stone might have some history, and she was uncertain about the potential dangers.
Outside, Gong Jiu was hiding, then suddenly saw a car driving out of the garage...
And then, she saw Yi at the door glance at her, with a half-smile, half-not.
Great, was she just toyed with?
Damn it! Sui Yi, how can your friends be so devious!
--------
Xiao Xianting drove the car through the bustling streets, about an hour later, he turned into the old town...
The Provincial City was flourishing and prosperous, with economic level and urban development ranked in the top ten nationwide. Yet even New York had areas that were dirty and chaotic, so the Provincial City naturally had them too.
Underneath the economy, garbage accumulated, and security was poor.
This was a place where the struggling people of the social bottom had to squeeze into, a headache-inducing problem for rulers.
If such a tumor cannot be cured, it will spread until it rots.
Xiao Xianting’s car was not particularly conspicuous, yet in the old town, any vehicle with four wheels was seen as a symbol of wealth, especially when the person who got out was so distinctive.
Sui Yi immediately heard a chorus of cheeky and dense whistles as she got out of the car.
"It’s a bit chaotic here, just ignore it." For any other woman, Xiao Xianting would not have brought her to such a place, but Sui Yi was an exception.
Sui Yi indeed ignored these shabbily dressed people, scanning her eyes over the place; it also had women and children with clean faces but troubled expressions.
She glanced at them, turned her face away, and followed Xiao Xianting into the deep and narrow alley.
How narrow was the alley?
Only enough for Xiao Xianting to walk in front, but for someone as slender as Sui Yi, it wasn’t too difficult.
So she followed behind...
Watching as Xiao Xianting carefully sidestep the filthy puddles scattered on the ground.
These filths were really...
Hard to look at.
Especially when Xiao Xianting saw a bag floating in water... sanitary napkins.
Yes, the used ones.
Sui Yi noticed him pause, glanced at it, and couldn’t help but furrow her brow.
Why are there so many... dirty things?
Ten or twenty bags were scattered all over the road.
It seemed like someone had deliberately torn them open.
This smell was unbearable; Sui Yi wrinkled her nose.
Many people didn’t know that her period had stopped a year ago, after the appearance of her second personality.
She could guess her body underwent some changes, which weren’t within the range of human norms, but there was no way to stop it. She could only go with the flow, fortunately without any major negative impacts.
Well, there is a negative impact now.
At least seeing these seven or eight meters and dozens of sanitary napkin bags...
Didn’t feel too good.
Xiao Xianting turned to Sui Yi, "I feel something is wrong; it wasn’t like this when I came a few days ago."
"Does he live nearby?"
"To be precise, it’s in the house up ahead."
Xiao Xianting was truly unwilling to step forward, let alone let Sui Yi walk this path, even if it was only seven or eight meters.
"Let’s take another route."
In fact, Xiao Xianting had mild OCD and was slightly fastidious; he felt nausea rising as he turned to Sui Yi and spoke.
He was almost ready to vomit.
"No need." Sui Yi reached out to grasp Xiao Xianting’s arm, pulled him, and jumped, effortlessly floating over the wall...
Seven or eight meters away, they landed.
Xiao Xianting’s emotions were complex--What can I do when my goddess, whom I secretly admire, has combat power, intelligence, and various values towering over me?
Before he even said a word, a shrill scream came from the other side.
"Ghost!!!"
"Ghost!"
The four men who had been tailing them fled, scrambling.
Sui Yi and Xiao Xianting had long known of their presence but had been too lazy to pay them any attention. Only when these four men screamed, did they realize they had been mistaken for ghosts.
"A bunch of social scum."
Xiao Xianting was considered to have a sense of social responsibility in upper society, often contributing time and money to social causes, but he was quite disgusted by those men who, despite having hands and feet, chose to loaf around and commit petty crimes due to bad upbringing and lack of education.
So, he couldn’t help but make such a remark.
Sui Yi was calm, turning to look at the tattered door ahead.
"Here?"
"Yes, right. Wait, I’ll call him out..." (To be continued. If you like this story, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest encouragement. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
