Chapter 2203 The last time

The old man was surprised.

Why did my son come to ask about Yuqiu again after five years?

Faced with the old man's questions, he didn't know how to express his doubts.

He was afraid of being laughed at by the old man.

Did he also think that he was being a little too fanciful?
But the concern in his heart made him unable to let it go.

He pretended not to care and passed it off.

The old man didn't delve into it further.

He told all the information about the jade ball very straightforwardly.

But to him, it was all old news.

Back then, the old man repeated these words over and over again in order to get him to agree to carry the jade ball with him.

His ears are about to get calluses from listening so much.

"Nothing else?"

He was a little unwilling.

For example, do you hear some strange sounds, like the bleating of a sheep?

The old man seemed to have noticed something.

"Nothing."

"What do you want to know?"

The old man's eyes became more searching and sharp.

He was speechless.

In the end, I could only return disappointed.

Since I can't get any useful information from the old man.
He didn't give up.

While thinking hard, he suddenly thought of Lao Cai whom he met a few days ago.

It seems that Lao Cai has met quite a few masters in recent years?

He had met one before at Lao Cai’s Fresh Food Shop.

What a great person.
His heart moved.

He used his connections to find a lot of so-called experts.

They all look quite intimidating.

Unfortunately, no one could solve his doubts.

Some people think he is overthinking.

Someone even suggested that he break the jade ball into pieces to see what happens?!

He looked at the other person as if he were a fool.

If it's really that simple, why would he still look for an expert?
Can’t he knock the jade ball himself?
Besides, who can guarantee that the answer will be obtained by smashing the jade ball?

The jade ball cannot be damaged.

This is his bottom line.

This jade ball is a talisman that the old man has carried with him for most of his life.

I gave it to him to keep him safe.

Naturally, he would not waste this kindness.

He was curious about what the two children meant by the bleating of sheep.

What does it have to do with the jade ball?
But this curiosity was not so strong that he would be willing to destroy the jade ball to gamble on that possibility.

……

After meeting the so-called master, he became more convinced of his initial understanding.

All those so-called experts are liars.

but……

Try one last time.

he told himself.

He thought of the young man he met in Lao Cai's shop.

Later, when he thought about it carefully, he found that Lao Cai really valued that young man.

It's not just superficial politeness.

He has a lot of dealings with Lao Cai.

Although they were all business interactions, they were enough for him to have a certain understanding of the guy.

He thought, maybe Old Cai was confused...

That young man must have done something...

That's why that old fox would be so humble.

He was a little annoyed that he didn't think of this at first.

But it's not too late.

He immediately contacted Lao Cai.

He said he needed help from the young master.

He is willing to apologize for his last faux pas.

He didn't ask Lao Cai what the young man had done to help the other party.

Since he hadn't heard-
The business community is very well informed.

This means that this is not something that can be widely publicized.

Even if he asked, Lao Cai would not tell him.

Their relationship was not close enough for them to be open and frank with each other.

Then why does he bother talking?

Instead, it annoyed people and affected his appeal this time.

……

With a good attitude and suitable interests, Lao Cai agreed to be his matchmaker.

I don’t know if he can get the answer he wants this time.

He felt a little excited again.

……

"That's probably what happened."

Boss Bai withdrew his gaze from the jade ball in his hand and looked at the young man opposite him.

There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"I wonder what Master Xiao thinks about this?"

"…What else did you discover?"

Having been disappointed so many times, he no longer had the patience to beat around the bush.

……

"Can you show me this jade ball?"

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly.

It seemed that he didn't feel the sharpness in Boss Bai's eyes at all. ...

Boss Bai stared at the young man for a while.

He admired the other party's calmness and ease.

I just hope it's not just pretense.

……

He placed the jade ball on a velvet-padded box.

Then he pushed the box in front of Master Xiao.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes to glance at the jade ball, then raised his eyes to ask, "Can I pick it up and have a look?"

Boss Bai hesitated for a while.

Although I was somewhat reluctant.

But he also knew that it would be difficult to find problems without just taking a look.

He nodded.

"can."

……

Xiao Xiao picked up the jade ball.

The tentacles are warm.

The jade is smooth.

Even though he didn't know much about jade, he could tell that this jade ball was worth a lot of money.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the jade ball intently.

Where does the sound come from?

In other words, does the sound really come from this jade ball?
……

Xiao Xiao reached out and knocked on the jade ball.

Boss Bai on the opposite side looked tense.

He opened his mouth to say something, but ended up pursing his lips.

……

It seems to be just an ordinary jade ball...

Xiao Xiao looked thoughtful.

His fingertips caressed the rotating jade ball.

Suddenly, his movements stopped.

sound!

He heard again the sound that he had vaguely heard last time.

……

He placed the jade ball to his ear.

Xiao Xiao's action made Boss Bai shake his head slightly.

He did the same thing.

After all, he said he heard a strange sound.

But nothing was found.

Boss Bai showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

Is that all?
……

No sound.

Xiao Xiao reached out and knocked on the jade ball again.

Just now……

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up slightly and turned the jade ball upside down.

The movement is quite large.

……

"Hey?"

Boss Bai couldn't help but speak out this time.

"Master Xiao, what are you doing...?"

Everything is fine, why are you spinning the jade ball?
Not a kid anymore.

Boss Bai was puzzled.

I was also a little worried about what would happen if Master Xiao slipped and dropped the jade ball.
……

heard it.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly.

It turned out that the sound really came from the jade ball.

……

"Master Xiao?"

His question received no response, so Boss Bai spoke again.

"you……"

Noticing the smile on the young man's face, he was stunned for a moment, and changed his words to "What did you find?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, "It can be considered a little discovery."

"what?!"

In his excitement, Mr. Bai couldn't control his volume.

"Cough cough~"

Boss Bai sat up straight.

How old are you?
Still so shocked...

……

"Master Xiao."

Boss Bai took a deep breath and asked, "What did you find?"

For the first time, someone told him what they had discovered.

He couldn't help but behave a little bit inappropriately.

……

"The sound comes from the jade ball."

Xiao Xiao’s words stunned Boss Bai.
