Chapter Fifty-Four: The Young Mistress of a Wealthy Family

  The few people continued to stroll along the street. As for the trip to Mount Emei, Guo Ming didn't mention it again, and Shui Mengyao subconsciously thought that he had given up on this idea.

  I just bought a set of sportswear for Guo Ming, and when he walked out the door, he still felt a bit heartbroken about the high price. He turned his head back to take another look and complained: "This store is too expensive, I'll come here less often from now on. A set of sportswear actually cost several thousand yuan, isn't this extortionate?"

  Yu Xia smiled and said: "Although it's a bit expensive, our family can still afford it. Besides, your dad earns so much money, how can we not help him spend some of it?"

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo was amused, nodding and saying: "Moreover, you look very spirited when wearing it, and it suits your image as a rich young master. I'm afraid few of our classmates know that you're also a second-generation rich kid?"

  "Rich second generation? Guo Ming laughed and said, can someone like me be considered a rich second generation? Anyway, I won't come to this kind of place again, it's a waste of money."

  "Tomorrow, saving a bit is also good, but you have to pay attention to some things, otherwise it's just excessive. Yu Xia said with a headache." Her heart was also tangled up, like his family parents who were educated to spend less money, they had to understand the value of tea, rice, oil and salt, but she was telling her son to waste more, be more extravagant.

  Guo Ming didn't want to continue on this topic, his gaze drifted afar, and the four golden characters "Yu Ge" of the Jade Pavilion entered his line of sight. Guo Ming couldn't help but feel great joy, hastily saying: "Let's go take a look."

  "Ru Yi Jade Pavilion", the two of them met in a glance, without realizing there was something strange. Today is for buying clothes, how did Guo Ming think of buying jade?

  Ru Yi Jade Pavilion is a well-known jade company in Hong Kong, with branches all over the country. Due to its excellent reputation, it has an important reputation in the jade industry. After Guo Ming and three others entered, a girl wearing a uniform immediately called out sweetly, "Welcome to Ru Yi Jade Pavilion, what services do you need?"

  "It's not necessary now, let's just take a look," Guo Ming and Sheng replied.

  The girl said in a sweet voice: "Mm, if you need anything, just find me anytime."

  Yu Xia, Shui Mengyao followed Guo Ming in, the girl followed the three of them, but kept a certain distance. This keeping of distance is a matter of finesse, being too close would make the customer feel uneasy and constrained, while being too far away would mean that if the customer had any questions or requests, she wouldn't be able to respond promptly. It's all about finding the right balance, and the girl did just that.

  Vibrant agate, bright and colorful Hetian jade, misty and transparent blue jade and other precious jade pendants were all there. Guo Ming looked at them carefully for a while, then shook his head slightly. Although these jade pendants were genuine, they weren't what he needed. He wanted jade pendants with spiritual energy.

  Since the Nine Yin Demoness has appeared, the corresponding ghostly creature will surely manifest in the mortal world. As for such evil spirits, martial artists naturally have nothing to fear and can even hunt down ghostly creatures. However, if the ghostly creature intentionally avoids them, it's not necessarily something they can handle. At this point, they are no match for a Taoist priest who practices exorcism, and sometimes the talisman they casually draw may easily take the life of the ghostly creature.

  It's essential to cast a protective jade amulet for family members and loved ones. One can't always be with them, and if they were to encounter such evil spirits, one would truly regret it. Using these ordinary jade pieces to cast a protective jade amulet is possible, but the effect won't be very good, because although the jade itself is of high quality, its spiritual energy and essence have already dissipated too much.

  Guo Ming is also a person who has achieved success in his cultivation, and if he wants to cast it, he will need to find some suitable jade symbols.

  "This piece of Hetian jade is really beautiful! Shui Mengyao's eyes lit up, and she pointed at a agate on the table with surprise."

  Yu Xia stopped in her tracks upon hearing the words, and followed Shui Mengyao's gaze. Before her eyes also lit up, the quick jade pendant was carved into a phoenix spreading its wings to fly, crystal clear and translucent. Especially important is that at the center there was a cluster of fiery red flames, looking even more like San Fen. Even she had taken a liking to this piece at first glance.

  She couldn't help but feel a sudden surge in her heart, "Wow, Dream Jade has quite the eye for things!" Eighty thousand, it was worth it for the sake of his future daughter-in-law. Smiling, he said to the sales associate, "Take out this jade pendant and let us take a look."

  Guo Ming was also attracted by the two, and when he saw the phoenix, his face couldn't help but show joy. He quickly stepped forward, just about to take the jade pendant in hand, but someone else was even quicker, a hand snatching it from before him. Guo Ming's expression changed, just as he was about to speak up to ask for it back, a clear voice came from across the way: "I'll take this piece of jade, name a price."

  A 17 or 18-year-old girl stood in front of him, slender and elegant, with apricot-shaped eyes, a crystal nose, and cherry lips. Her sportswear perfectly accentuated her tall and curvy figure. On her hand was a Chanel limited edition small bag, which he had just seen on TV earlier. It was beautiful, especially up close, but the price of 66,000 yuan was undoubtedly daunting for many people. If it were something else, it would be fine, but spending so much money on an impractical handbag was something that many people couldn't bring themselves to do.

  This is the real rich second generation, in Shui Meng Yao's words, it's a standard rich second generation.

  Yu Xia's heart was unhappy and she said: "This jade is what I wanted first."

  "Now it's in my hands, and the girl proudly raised the jade pendant in her hand."

  "What's the point of haggling with them, huh? It's just 80,000, a small amount, miss. Here, take it and swipe it." The young man standing next to the girl pulled out a credit card from his wallet and handed it to the sales clerk.

  The salesperson didn't dare to reach out and take it, today was really unlucky, actually running into such a dispute, those who can come here to buy jade are either rich or noble, none of them could afford to lose face.

  Shui Mengyao was originally prepared to argue, but as soon as she heard the price, her heart suddenly surged with a desire to retreat. If it were only a few thousand, it would be fine, but this time eight hundred thousand was a bit too much. She pulled Yu Xia and whispered: "Auntie, don't argue with them anymore, I just think it looks good, I didn't mean to buy it."

  "This won't do, things should be done in order, you can't just barge in," Yu Xia said indignantly.

  The young man only then noticed Shui Mengyao, but his expression was stunned, and he greedily took a glance at her figure, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva in secret. Shui Mengyao's current age is the golden age of girls, 15 or 6 years old, saying that Lolita is a bit small, saying that adults are not enough, such a pure girl is the most attractive. Moreover, her appearance now is already shocking and astonishing, he can hardly imagine what kind of appearance the girl in front of him will become after a few more years, but one thing he can be sure of is that she will definitely be more beautiful than the girl in front of him by at least three points. Fortunately, he understood that he couldn't eat from the bowl and look at the pot, the result would be a waste of effort, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.

  That girl was also arrogant, impatiently saying: "Hmph, there's nothing that I want that can't be bought. First come first served? That may apply to ordinary people like you, but not to us."

  "Haha, you're quite arrogant," Guo Ming said with a cold smile. "No wonder ordinary people in today's society have a strong resentment towards the rich. Firstly, most of China's wealthy individuals are conservative and rarely use their assets for charitable causes. Secondly, the second-generation rich are too ostentatious and self-proclaimed nobles."

  That girl didn't show any interest in Guo Ming, and instead nudged the young man beside her and said, "You tell him."

  The young man took a step forward and chuckled: "Little brother, today I'll tell you that there are some people you can't afford to mess with, understand?"

  When he said the last word, his hand heavily slapped on Guo Ming's right shoulder. He practiced external skills, and this slap could probably dislocate the opponent's arm under normal circumstances, but was Guo Ming a normal person?

  Guo Ming's expression remained calm as he gazed at the other person, a faint smile playing on his lips. The other person, however, couldn't muster up a smile. Even if he was brain-dead, he now understood that Guo Ming was an expert, and absolutely not someone he could handle. With a wry smile, he withdrew his right hand, but Guo Ming's right hand flashed out like lightning to grasp the other person's hand. "Heh heh, you're right," Guo Ming chuckled. "There are indeed some people who shouldn't be messed with."

  Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound came from the handshake of the two people.

  Several people looked at the source of the sound with strange expressions, then looked at the two men's faces. Guo Ming had a faint smile on his face, while the young man was pale, with beads of sweat flowing down his face, his lips trembling, and soon his constantly shaking teeth bit into his lips, leaving two rows of blood marks, and threads of fresh blood flowed down from between his cheeks.

  Even a fool would have understood what was happening, the girl let out a sharp cry and rushed forward to pull her companion away, but unexpectedly added fuel to the fire. The man, in pain, finally couldn't help but beg for mercy, "Please, let me go."

  Guo Ming was shocked and quickly let go of his hand, exclaiming: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

  That young man looked at his right hand, which was like a chicken claw. As a martial artist, he naturally understood that although his fingers appeared normal on the surface, they were actually all broken. This person had a ruthless heart and gave Guo Ming a sinister glance before pulling the girl away and saying in a low voice: "You're too stubborn, let's leave quickly."

  The girl hastily put down her jade pendant, looked at Guo Ming with a frightened glance, and quickly left.

  Noticing the other's sinister gaze, Guo Ming immediately understood that he might have made an enemy, but he couldn't just get rid of him because he was trying to harm him, could he?

  He turned around to look at the two of them, but they were staring back at him with suspicious expressions, leaving Guo Ming bewildered. Was there something strange about himself? He looked himself up and down, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary!

  "Hehe, why are you looking at me like that?" Guo Ming dodged the gaze of the two people and smiled awkwardly.

  "Can't see that you're so ruthless? Yu Xia chuckled and said, silently disabling someone without moving a muscle, come on, did you often do this kind of thing before?"
