Chi Shuyan looked up and saw that Li Yu, that rascal, had secretly stuck his foot out to trip Yang Zhaoning. The young attendant was tugging anxiously at the hem of his Ninth Prince's clothes. Chi Shuyan's face turned black, and she motioned for the others to pick out some raw stones before she went over herself to swiftly collect the two little ghosts.

Li Yu was displeased. “Why did you bring me back? I haven't tripped that woman yet!”

How could Chi Shuyan not know the fear which ordinary ghosts had of Celestial Masters? This kid's face had turned deathly pale when he saw these two people from Longhu Mountain just now. He dared to sneak up on them? Was he courting death?

But she also knew that this kid was probably doing this for her. Chi Shuyan's heart warmed, but she feigned indifference on the surface as she placed the Safety Talismans on the two brats and said, “If you run around, I'll send you packing!”

Sure enough, that frightened Li Yu and the young attendant.

Chi Shuyan got up and led the two boys over as she said to Li Yu, “Didn't you say before that you were going to find jade? Why don't you go pick some stones?”

A sulky Li Yu said indignantly, “That woman bullied you, and my parents aren't here. Otherwise, I would have them chop off her head!”

The corners of Chi Shuyan's mouth twitched when she heard the kid mention his parents again, but her face softened as she rubbed his head. Li Yu suddenly blushed, turned away, and immediately ran off to pick out stones. The young attendant also ran over eagerly.

Chi Shuyan smiled, but after a while, the two boys came back with a huge pile of stones, which they piled into a small hill. Li Yu said excitedly, “Wife, there's jade here. I saw jade inside! It'll definitely be green!”

Li Yu was confident.

Chi Shuyan's right eyelid twitched when the kid called her “wife.” His voice was loud, so it was very eye-catching for a pesized child to call an adult like Chi Shuyan his wife.

Qi Hao couldn't help but come over and directly smack Li Yu on the head. This little guy was bold enough to dare s.n.a.t.c.h his brother's wife?

After glaring at Qi Hao angrily, Li Yu gave Chi Shuyan another pair of raw stones that he had found. Chi Shuyan looked at the dozen or so fist-sized stones on the ground, then at the confident little guy in front of her. She didn't know where this kid got his confidence from that they all contained jade.

Could it be that this kid really was unusually talented in this area?

At that moment, the shop owner came over and reminded her that these stones were all sc.r.a.ps. Of course, if she wanted them, he would sell all of them to her for 5,000 yuan.

Chi Shuyan's mouth twitched.

On the side, Li Yu was insisting that there was treasure inside.

Chi Shuyan looked at the little guy's big, watery eyes and inexplicably trusted him. She gritted her teeth and said to the shop owner, “Okay, I'll take these!”

Ignoring the shopkeeper's strange gaze, Chi Shuyan asked Qi Hao to take the kid over to cut the stones first.

Qi Hao was engrossed in picking stones himself, so how could he be bothered? He simply had Xiao Le go over and help.

Xiao Le was willing to spend money on Chi Shuyan's talismans, but that didn't mean he was willing to gamble on stones. How could he afford something so expensive? He was feeling embarra.s.sed, but when he heard Qi Hao's words, he quickly went over to help.

Li Yu, his little attendant, and Xiao Le excitedly carried Li Yu's treasure over.

The shop owner chuckled and said to Chi Shuyan, “Miss Chi, actually, I don't think there's a need to cut those. Those sc.r.a.ps are actually leftovers from when someone cut them before.”

Chi Shuyan: …Hehe!
