Ling Yun pointed towards the ornamental stone at the side of Murong Wenshi’s desk. It was more than a meter and a half in height and was in the shape of bamboo shoots.

They followed Ling Yun’s finger and laughed when they saw what he meant.

Ling Yun didn’t want anything but an ornamental stone worth eight thousand yuan? Wasn’t that too low?

“Ling Yun, alright, I... I know you’re not greedy, but you can’t just take an ornamental stone as a gift for saving my grandpa’s life. We wouldn’t be able to stand up tall if others were to find out!”

Murong Feixue was the first to refuse. She truly believed that Ling Yun wasn’t greedy now.

Humans are strange creatures. People wouldn’t want to give someone any money if they were greedy. However, the same people would stuff all the money they had into one’s hands if they weren’t greedy!

Song Zhengyang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He managed to get the best treasure for Ling Yun after so much effort, but Ling Yin only wanted an ordinary ornamental stone?

What could Song Zhengyang say?

Murong Wenshi was taken aback at first but quickly nodded with approval. He couldn’t help but look at Murong Feixue reproachfully. How could she have called Ling Yun greedy?

Murong Feixue was embarrassed but smiled shyly and joyfully nonetheless. That reaction was self-evident.

“Ling Yun, Feixue’s right. You want nothing but an ornamental stone, aren’t you not giving Elder Murong any face?” Song Zhengyang stared at that ornamental stone for quite some time before finally asking.

“If you really like this type of stone, I can give you all that I have in my house if you want!”

Song Zhengyang thought that Ling Yun wanted that ornamental stone because he found out something unique about it at first. Perhaps it had raw jade in it. However, he didn’t see anything out of the ordinary even after studying it for quite some time.

It might not look that way, but what it possessed inside was infinitely better than jade! It had golden spiritual energy! That was something money couldn’t buy!

Ling Yun wasn’t about to let it slide. “I want this ornamental stone not because of its value. I like it because it seems to be high-spirited and has an uplifting momentum. Another reason is to take something from Grandpa Murong so that I can fulfill Grandpa Murong’s wishes and, at the same time, have something I like...”

Ling Yun’s words appealed to all!

Murong Wenshi conceded. He had decided in his heart anyway. “Alright, Grandpa shall insist no further since that is Ling Yun’s wish. I’ll give this ornamental stone to you...” He laughed.

“Thank you, Grandpa Murong...” Ling Yun stood up and bowed respectfully.

“Grandpa...” Murong Feixue protested lightly after seeing how her grandpa conceded.

“However,” Murong Wenshi continued, “This ornamental stone is just an additional gift. You still have to take my original gift. Find a time to retrieve it with Feixue. I’ll leave the matter to you young people!”

Murong Wenshi looked towards Murong Feixue with a benevolent smile. “Feixue, is this alright?”

“That’s more like it...” Murong Feixue replied joyously.

The gift didn’t matter actually, what mattered was that she was to accompany Ling Yun back home to retrieve it! Only then could she have the chance and reason to be alone with him.

Was there anything more precious in the Murong Family then Murong Feixue?

Murong Feixue’s face hung a pretty smile that peered at Ling Yun, her heart filled to the brim with shyness.

Everything else didn’t matter since he obtained what he wanted. However, he still tried to reject politely. “Grandpa Murong, I really think that it’s inappropriate...”

“Why do you have so much to say when we are the ones giving it to you? Just accept it!” Murong Feixue replied before Murong Wenshi could get a word out.

Alright, he couldn’t reject it. Ling Yun could only agree.

Ling Yun swallowed. He did feel a little bad obtaining this ornamental stone from Grandpa Murong in such a way. They treated him sincerely, after all.

He had bullied Murong Feixue enough today, so it was time to give her something sweet. He put his hand into his breast pocket and took out a Night-Luminescent Pearl from his spatial ring.

Ling Yun pulled his hand out and opened his palm. A Night-Luminescent Pearl as big as a lychee was in his hand.

“Big Sister Feixue, I came here in a hurry and didn’t bring anything for you. I’m a guy, and I don’t need this trinket. It’s a waste on me, so I would like to give it to you!”

Ling Yun was so good with his words. Trinket? Waste on him? That was a Night-Luminescent Pearl, a rare treasure of the world!

Of course, no one was listening to him any longer. The three of them had their eyes and mouths wide open!

What was Murong Feixue’s profession? She was a world-renowned jewelry appraiser and an international designer. She was also the General Manager and the Chief Designer of the Tianzhu Jewelry Company under the Murong Family!

She had seen a lot of expensive jewelry, but this was the first time she had laid her eyes upon a Night-Luminescent Pearl of such size!

“Oh my god...” Murong Feixue swallowed hard, her eyes misty. “It’s as beautiful as a dream. C-can I touch it?” she muttered.

Ling Yun let it slide into Murong Feixue’s hands, not forgetting to brush her fingers. “I’m giving it to you, do as you wish...”

“What? Is it really for me...” Murong Feixue forgot to reject him.

Murong Wenshi and Song Zhengyang were shocked. They were just discussing the Night-Luminescent Pearl, and Ling Yun brought it out to give to Murong Feixue?

Murong Wenshi shook his head as he thought about his Heavenly Seal. Who was actually gaining from this?

Song Zhengyang was green with envy. He swallowed hungrily as he exchanged glances with Murong Wenshi. “How is it, Elder Murong?”

Murong Wenshi understood what he meant immediately. Song Zhengyang told him that he would definitely gain from this!

He was speechless.

“This color, this texture, this light that it gives off... This is a real beaded jade!” Murong Feixue exclaimed, completely lost in awe.

Everyone in the house was an expert in this aspect. Murong Feixue held the Night-Luminescent Pearl in her hand and appreciated it for three whole minutes before she returned it reluctantly to Ling Yun.

“This is too grand a gift, I... I can’t take it now...” Murong Feixue said shyly but also with a certain satisfaction.

She was very smart. She said that she couldn’t take it now, not that she couldn’t take it at all. What she meant was that it wasn’t the time to take it. This was something she would look forward to as an engagement gift.

“I’ve never taken anything back once I give it away!” Ling Yun said, missing the meaning in Murong Feixue’s words.

Murong Wenshi and Song Zhengyang laughed, filling the office with a peaceful atmosphere.

“I really can’t take it now...”

“Alright, just keep it, why do you have so much to say?” Ling Yun shoved Murong Feixue’s words back at her. “I’ll give it to Uncle Song if you really don’t want it.”

Song Zhengyang wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip through his fingers. “I want it, Feixue, give it to me. I want to keep it as an heirloom!” Song Zhengyang tried to snatch it playfully from Feixue.

Murong Feixue clasped the Night-Luminescent Pearl tightly with both hands. “Dream on! I’m not giving it to you!”

Murong Feixue got up promptly and rejected no more. She gave Ling Yun a meaningful gaze and bolted out of Murong Wenshi’s office.

She was going to keep the Night-Luminescent Pearl in the best safe with the highest security.

Both Murong Feixue and Murong Wenshi felt that this Night-Luminescent Pearl was Ling Yun’s token of love.

Ling Yun didn’t feel the same way. He only thought that she should be doing this; if not, it could be harmful for his cultivation.

“Ling Yun, Feixue seldom finds any man good enough for her. However, she has accepted your Night-Luminescent Pearl now. Your development in the future is up to you two!” Murong Wenshi said purposefully.

Ling Yun feigned ignorance.

Song Zhengyang laughed and suddenly looked towards Yu Ding Xuan, which was directly opposite the Tianxi Pavilion. “Um, the timing is just right. Elder Murong, it has been such a good day so far. Would you like to play a few rounds today?”

Ling Yun didn’t get up. Instead, he used his divine sense to view the happenings outside. It was the time when the Antique Market was the most crowded. There was a flood of people at the crossroads, and the market bustled with life, the excitement extraordinary.

Murong Wenshi stood up excitedly. “I heard that Yu Ding Xuan and the House of Strange Stones brought in a lot of strange stones this time, more than ever before. Of course I have to go! Gambling Addict Song, are you going to be the dealer today?”

“Let’s see about that...” Song Zhengyang gave a small smile.

Murong Feixue finally returned from putting away her Night-Luminescent Pearl. Her tender gaze was on Ling Yun.

The four of them went downstairs, crossed the street, and came to the entrance of Yu Ding Xuan.
