Chapter 2204 Two Halves
"……Why?"

This... wasn't known a long time ago?
Isn't this why he sought out so many experts to inquire about the situation?

and many more.

Boss Bai pressed his temple.

He found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

It was because the two children he met before and after said the same thing that he realized that there was something wrong with the jade ball and wanted to find out what it was.

He himself actually didn't hear any sound.

In other words, he couldn't be sure that there was really any sound coming from the jade ball.

……

Now, Master Xiao was certain that there was indeed sound coming from the jade ball.

This is indeed a...new discovery.

Boss Bai took a sip of tea.

Calm yourself down.

"Master Xiao, why didn't I hear any sound?"

He continued asking questions following Master Xiao's words.

"I listened for a long time, but still heard nothing."

"Besides, how can there be a sound coming from the jade ball?"

"Jade ball..."

He frowned in confusion, "It's just jade."

"It's not a living thing."

……

Boss Bai said a lot.

The more he talked about it, the more he felt that it was stupid of him to seriously seek answers from someone.
Such a ridiculous thing...

He actually wanted an answer?
……

Xiao Xiao observed the jade ball carefully.

A look of complete concentration.

Mr. Bai: ...

Did he just say all that for nothing?

He took another sip of his tea.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he remained silent.

His eyes fell on the jade ball in the young man's hand.

He is waiting.

Wait and see what explanation this young man will give him in the end.

……

Xiao Xiao's fingers brushed across the surface of the jade ball.

The sound did come from the jade ball.

Is it...

A glimmer of golden light flashed across Xiao Xiao's lowered eyes.

Shallow ripples appeared where the fingers touched.

A faint golden glow flashed by.

Feeling the resistance coming from the fingertips, the golden light became even brighter.

"Click~"

After a slight sound, a thin texture was revealed.

……

The little white fox raised his head.

A look of interest appeared on his face.

Oh ~
So that’s what happened.

……

"hiss~"

The white snake opened its eyes, revealing bright red vertical pupils.

It tilted its head.

Showed a bit of curiosity.

……

Xiao Xiao's hand held the upper part of the jade ball.

Twist gently.

The jade ball was split into two halves.

"Mea~"

……

"what!"

Boss Bai exclaimed.

Even people stood up.

"what have you done?!"

He leaned forward, his face filled with shock and anger.

"This jade ball..."

He reached out to grab the young man by the collar.

"Crack~"

"Sigh~"

Boss Bai quickly retracted his hand and took a breath.

it hurts!

He looked down at his hands.

There was a red mark on the back of my hand.

He covered his hands and looked up.

But he was met with a pair of bright red vertical pupils.

The cold and icy animal eyes immediately made him feel cold in his limbs and on his back.

His whole body froze.

……

"Abai."

Xiao Xiao gently touched the white snake's head with his fingertips.

"Thank you."

……

The white snake narrowed its eyes.

The sharp breath softened. "Hiss~"

The white snake flicked its tail.

He lay down again.

……

There were no more red vertical pupils in front of him, and Boss Bai finally caught his breath.

He glanced at Master Xiao's wrist cautiously.

That white jade bracelet turned out to be a white snake? !

This is incredible.

The snake is the bracelet, the bracelet is the snake...

He rubbed his twitching brow.

and many more.

Since the white jade bracelet could be a snake, then the jade ball...

The jade ball split into two halves came into his sight again.

No.

Broken in two...

There is no way...

Boss Bai denied his sudden whim in his heart, but he couldn't help but doubt it.

……

and many more!

Boss Bai pursed his lips tightly.

The point now shouldn’t be…

"Master Xiao, why did you destroy my jade ball?"

The dull pain in his hand helped him suppress the sudden surge in his heart.

He didn't want to be left with a red mark on the back of his hand by Master Xiao's snake because of excitement.

……

"It's not ruined."

Xiao Xiao showed the crack in the jade ball to Boss Bai.

The smooth edges seem to be naturally formed.

……

Boss Bai was stunned.

He took the half of the jade that Master Xiao handed to him.

Take a closer look.

really.

He reached out and touched the edge of the jade.

Not a single bit sharp or rough.

It looks like... it doesn't look like it was damaged by human beings.

It seems like it has been like this from the beginning.

But...how could this be?
The old man in my family has been wearing a jade ball for most of his life, and he has also been wearing a jade ball for five years, but it’s actually not a jade ball?
But it is made of two halves of jade?
Is it still hollow inside?!

……

Have they been deceived?

no no.

Boss Bai calmed himself down.

How could such a ridiculous thing happen?
Who is so bold?!

Boss Bai couldn't help but tighten his grip around the half piece of jade.

……

"Master Xiao..."

Boss Bai's expression was not very good. "This..."

"How is this-"

Boss Bai paused and swallowed the question he was about to ask: What's going on?

After all, this is his jade ball.

But asking the young man in front of him what's going on...isn't it ridiculous?
How would the other party know what was going on?

"Why haven't I noticed yet?"

He changed the question.

Yes.

How come he hasn't noticed yet?
How come he hadn't noticed it yet?!

Ever since the old man in his family gave him this jade ball five years ago, he has always carried it with him.

It can be said that he and Yuqiu are together day and night.

If the jade ball was made of two halves of jade, he should not have failed to notice it.

Not only did he not notice it, even the old man didn't notice it.

The old man is such a smart person...

It was really hard for him to understand.

……

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the monster that was still in the half piece of jade.

Bird shelter.

……

Not getting an immediate answer made Boss Bai more and more impatient.

Just as he was about to speak again, he froze.

He suddenly found himself a little funny.

Just like Master Xiao didn’t know why the jade ball was not a jade ball...how could Master Xiao know why he didn’t realize that this jade ball was not a jade ball?
This is entirely his own problem.

……

"Would you mind leaving me alone for a while?"

Xiao Xiao's inexplicable request startled Boss Bai, whose mind was a little confused.

"……what?"

Stay alone for a while?

why?
Boss Bai's face showed a mixture of surprise and confusion.

……

"I'll explain it to you later."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I wonder if Mr. Bai is willing to do this?"

Boss Bai stared at the young man for a while.

Compared to his confusion, this young man remained as calm as when they first met.
