After a moment of thought, Gu Qingfeng's gaze fell upon the cold jade. Perhaps there was a secret within it that he hadn't fully understood all these years?
"Have you two eaten?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked. "I'm hungry. If you haven't, I can make something for you too."
"No need."
Gu Nianci shook her head. "This concubine does not indulge in the desires of the mouth."
However, Gu Qingfeng was quite pleased. "I've heard Mr. Lin, your cooking is excellent. I wonder if I'll have the honor?"
"Yes, of course... Just remember to pay the bill."
Lin Xiao said, walking towards the kitchen. "Right, watch the cold jade closely, I'll go cook first."
Upon hearing the mention of payment, Gu Nianci's face darkened.
The incident last night was still vivid in her mind. The reason Lin Xiao had brought her back was to make her pay the bill?
Could Lin Xiao not have paid for that simple barbecue himself?
Did he not understand respect for elders and affection for the young?
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Gu Qingfeng immediately nodded and walked to the cold jade, beginning to examine it, wondering if there was anything special about it.
Earlier, Lin Xiao had closed the two small lids on the box, and Gu Qingfeng hadn't thought much about it. He took the cold jade out again and began to scrutinize it.
At this moment, the cold jade was different from how Gu Qingfeng usually knew it.
Normally, cold jade felt somewhat cool to the touch. However, now, as he held it, he felt a gentle warmth.
It was like an ordinary piece of jade, not cold jade.
"This is..."
He sensed the aura emanating from the cold jade, a look of confusion on his face.
The aura of the divine realm here was far more concentrated than anywhere else, even more so than in the room Lin Xiao had been in just now. It was as if... the divine realm power from earlier had originated from this cold jade.
Could it be that the five-clawed golden dragon Lin Xiao mentioned had manifested from this cold jade?
Gu Qingfeng continued to examine it.
If Lin Xiao knew his thoughts, he would definitely praise him. Indeed, the five-clawed golden dragon had emerged from this cold jade.
It was just a phantom, though.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng once again scrutinizing the cold jade, Gu Nianci couldn't help but scold him. "What are you looking at? You've been staring at it for so long, and you haven't figured anything out. Lin Xiao got his hands on it not long ago, and something like this has already happened."
"This... it's not my fault, is it..."
Gu Qingfeng felt very wronged. How could this be his fault? Such things relied on talent and opportunity. He simply hadn't seized the opportunity, what else could he do...
If he could be like Lin Xiao, he would be the top expert of the Gu family right now.
"Are you blaming me?" Gu Nianci retorted.
"..."
Gu Qingfeng dared not speak. He understood now that Gu Nianci was in a bad mood and wanted to vent her frustration on him.
Therefore, he knew very well that the best course of action now was to keep his mouth shut.
At this moment, Gu Nianci's phone rang.
Normally, no one would call Gu Nianci. Only a few people knew her number.
Gu Yunyun, Gu Qingyun, and... that elder in seclusion at home.
Since Gu Yunyun and Gu Qingyun wouldn't call her, the only possibility was that the elder had awoken.
