“What is it?”

Seeing Chen Fan was no longer speaking, she looked along the direction where Chen Fan was staring and saw a gray-colored jade in the corner.

Except for being really old, this piece of ragged jade couldn’t really compare with the scintillating Dzi bead.

“Oh, yeah! Jackpot!” Chen Fan exclaimed in his mind.

A gleeful smile broke over Chen Fan’s face. He turned around and said to Wei Ziqin. “How much is this jade, I want to take it.”

He had brought the bank card that Zhou Tianhao had gifted him, so he didn’t hesitate and asked for the price.

“If you like you, just take it.” Wei Ziqin said with a smile.

Her grandfather had already gifted the boy a mansion that was worth over tens of millions of yuan. What would be the harm in adding this ordinary looking jade into the package?

“What do you say, Uncle Lin?”

Uncle Lin plastered on an unctuous smile and then replied, “Of course. Please, Mr. Chen, help yourself.”

Uncle Lin was still stunned by Chen Fan’s display of power, having learned his lesson; his tone became much more respectful.

“Very well; I owe you one.”

Chen Fan nodded and grabbed the jade. His eyes were lit up with glee.

Wei Ziqin felt a mix of surprise and joy after seeing that the Transcendent Master finally started to open up to her family.

She remembered Chen Fan’s placid face and ungracious look after he had received a mansion from her grandfather. But who would have thought that he would become so ecstatic after receiving a worthless piece of jade? A piece of bauble for a grand master’s favor: the deal just could not get any better.

Could it be that this jade was worth more than a mansion?

“What is so special about this jade?” We Ziqin asked curiously.

“Haven’t you just asked me to show you a real Dharma Artifact?” Chen Fan paused a second and then asked slowly.

“Yea.”

Wei Ziqin and Uncle Lin exchanged a confused glance.

“Mr. Chen, could this be the real Dharma Artifact you were talking about?” Uncle Lun asked cautiously.

This ancient jade looked unremarkable, and anyone could tell that its body was filled with impurities. It was a far cry from many precious gemstones at display in the hall. What would be so special about this jade?

“Well, it’s… not quite a Dharma Artifact yet. ” Chen Fan said slowly as he carefully placed the jade into his pocket.

“It still has some rough edges, but once I have finished refining it, it will be a powerful Dharma Treasure.”

Both Uncle Lin and Wei Ziqin were taken aback by his words. Never had they thought that anyone could simply create a legendary Dharma Artifact?

Sensing that Chen Fan didn’t want to disclose too much, the two decided not to press him with more questions.

“There is nothing else to look at here, let’s go” Having obtained the precious jade, Chen Fan was satisfied.

After he had returned the reception hall, he noticed that everyone looked at him strangely. Nearly all the teenagers had witnessed Chu Minhui’s embarra.s.sing defeat at the hands of Chen Fan, and therefore no one dared looked down on him.

“You are back?” Jiang Churan greeted him; her voice was slightly awkward.

“Yea.” Chen Fan held an indifferent face as he nodded.

He walked past Jiang Churan to Xu Rongfei, and he rubbed Xu Rongfei’s cute and surprised face.

“Thank you for your help! If you ever need anything, feel free to ask me.”

Of all the partic.i.p.ants of the reception, only Xu Rongfei had helped him when he was cornered by his opponent. Chen Fan would never forget that.

Xu Rongfei was willing to stand up for him even though she thought he was just a helpless country boy. Chen Fan was touched by Xu Rongfei’s genuine concern; it made him feel that other than Auntie Tang, Xu Rongfei was the most caring person in his life so far. He couldn’t help but consider her a younger sister and wanted to protect her like how she protected him.

Chen Fan’s intimate pat on Xu Rongfei’s head made her blush. She lowered her head and was suddenly lack of words.

“Haha!” Chen Fan laughed before he started off.

Wei Ziqin nodded at the two girls with a smile before she left the room.

Uncle Lin picked up the cue almost immediately. He ordered the workers to rearrange the seats so that the two girls would have the front-row seats. He reminded the workers to tend to the two girl’s needs, particularity the girl called Xu Rongfei.

The special treatment made Xu Rongfei’s other friends’ eyes turned green with jealousy.

Someone had recognized the old man as soon as he appeared in the reception hall. He was the second most influential person in the Fang Sheng International Group and was sitting on a much more senior position than Manager Zhu.

The fact that even Uncle Lin had to fawn over Chen Fan told everyone the clout of the boy.
