Chapter 60 (1/2)

Seeing this thing, Yao shigu was like seeing a rare treasure. He took it from Xia Yan with trembling hands. He took a long breath and handed it back to Xia Yan: ”Xia Yan, since elder martial brother has given it to you, it's yours. No one can take it away, nor can I!”

In Xia Yan's hand, there was half a black carving knife. From the middle section of the carving knife, only the first half and the second half had disappeared. The fracture was uneven. It looked like it was broken with great strength.

”But Shibo, Shifu asked me to give it to you...” Xia Yan hesitated.

”No!” said Yao shigu, looking at Xia Yan with more loving colors. ”In fact, your master doesn't ask you to give me something, but to take something from me!”

”What?” Xia Yan asked suspiciously.

”Go upstairs first, I'll tell you slowly.” Yao shigu took Xia Yan's hand and walked upstairs. After taking two steps, he thought of something again, turned back and said, ”Xiaoting, call your sister to come back for the festival at noon!”

”OK, grandpa!” Yao Ting's big eyes turned. Her eyes looked at Grandpa and Xia Yan. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Ji Gu Zhai has two floors. The antiques displayed on the second floor are more exquisite than those on the first floor. You can see that they are valuable at a glance. If the antiques in the jiguzhai are true, the Yao family's assets will easily exceed 100 million, not to mention that there must be better things that have not been put out.

Xia Yan was full of doubts. He followed Yao shigu into a room on the second floor and sat down on a mahogany chair.

Yao Ting made two cups of tea, brought it over and put it in front of Yao shigu and Xia Yan. She also sat down on the sofa.

Yao shigu picked up the teacup and drank tea silently. He didn't speak. Yao ting and Xia Yan naturally wouldn't say it first. Ten minutes later, Yao shigu sighed and said, ”nephew Xia Yan, do you know the origin of this half carving knife?”

”I don't know!” Xia Yan shook his head and said, ”the master never told me. He gave me the things when I came out this time.”

”When did senior brother take you in?” Yao shigu asked again.

”Ten years ago,” said Xia Yan.

”Has he mentioned me before?” Yao shigu's eyes were very complicated.

”Before I came out this time, master never mentioned it.” Xia Yan thought that there must be a dog blood past between the martial brothers.

”Alas!” Yao shigu sighed and was silent for a while before he said, ”since your master didn't tell you this, I won't talk much...”

what the hell!
