Zhou Xuanxian said, "But it's not like that now, because the energy of the stone has been absorbed by me. My ability has greatly improved, but that was in the Tear of the Monster in the sinkhole, from that huge golden stone!"
Sa Ying was extremely surprised, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand now. You absorbed the energy from the big rock and then transformed it into Huang Ling, which then turned those monsters into Huang Ling and sank them?"
Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "I only decided to go to that place after I saw you take out Grandpa's stone. I wanted to find out the source of my ability, but I still couldn't find the reason. However, I relied entirely on absorbing the energy of that big stone to evolve and enhance my ability. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get out of there. It's all fate!"
With a sigh, Zhou Xuan continued, "At first, my energy was very weak. I could only detect the origin and age of objects within a meter. You saw it when I was in the Deep Force stage. I was able to detect that piece of accumulated jadeite by relying on the power of ice energy. However, the ice energy at that time was quite weak and could not transform into gold, much less devour the yellow token!"
"Oh dear!" Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Tian Fuying suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
Zhou Xuan was startled and quickly asked, "Yingying, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, hurry up and give me a piece of her mind!" Shen Ying hurriedly stood up, grabbed Zhou Xuan, and walked out the door.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what was going on, but he was still very worried. He didn't even tell Chuan Tian when he got off the bus, and went straight out the door.
Sa Ying still didn't drive to the side of the road and hailed a taxi, then got in with Zhou Xuan.
When they got to the car, Zhou Xuan held onto Yingying's hand. He noticed that although she was walking in a hurry, she didn't seem to be in a rush. He asked with some concern, "Yingying, what's wrong?"
Sa Ying then chuckled and said, "I'm dragging you to pay off a debt I owe someone, so you have to go and pay it off!"
"Oh!" Zhou Xuan was finally relieved about the debt Xin Suiying owed. It was only right for him to repay the debt to his nephew, as long as it wasn't something unbearable.
"Do you still remember that old man Liu Daoyuan, the Master Liu?" Shen Ying asked.
"Liu Qingyuan?" Zhou Xuan thought for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up, "Don't you remember?"
"It's that Liu Shufu, the special envoy who helped me rent a jade carving shop, the one I begged with you!" Shen Ying woke him up.
"Oh, I've saved it, I remember!"
Sa Ying's guess immediately reminded Zhou Xuan of the first time he came to the contract with Shen Ying. Shen Ying had bought his jade pendant, intending to have it carved into a phoenix ornament as a birthday gift for his son. However, Liu Zhuyuan's strange behavior forced Shen Ying to bring Zhou Xuan along. Shen Ying's impulsive decision, however, led to an unexpected turn of events. Zhou Xuan, relying on his ice-like energy, easily broke Liu Zhuyuan's rules, thus allowing Liu Zhuyuan to carve a jade pendant for Shen Ying.
Only then did Zhou Xuan remember, one
The second-instance official from Jiyuan said that carving dragon and phoenix pieces is possible, but after stringing them together, Zhou Gao will accompany me to delete the snow!
Zhou Xuan immediately laughed. It turned out that what Qiao Ying wanted him to return was Liu Qingyuan's love. Hehe, to be honest, for him now, it wouldn't be a problem to just chat with Liu Qingyuan about antiques.
It wasn't far from Liu Qingyuan's shop; it only took about twenty minutes to reach Liu's Teahouse.
The man behind the counter in the tea book, Zhou Xuan still remembered, was someone Ying called her Second Senior Brother.
Upon seeing He Ying this time, the man glanced at Zhou Xuan a few times, then smiled at the pretty girl and said, "Junior Sister, the old man came to visit and said you're getting engaged the day after tomorrow?" Jia Tsk sneered, "Our precious junior sister is getting married, and this guy is it?"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, while Hao Ban greeted him respectfully, "Greetings, Second Brother!"
The second senior brother chuckled and said, "If you call me the second senior brother, you have to shake hands with Huang. Hehe, come on, let's put our hands together!"
Sa Ying angrily said in front of the dagger, "Second Senior Brother, if you dare to mess with him, I'll smash the wine box in your counter!"
Shen Ying knew that Zhou Xuan could not possibly withstand the tiger claw of his second senior brother's root hand, and Zhou Xuan could not transform and devour the network of his second senior brother's hand. In the end, it was Zhou Xuan who was at a disadvantage, so how could he tolerate it!
The second senior brother was so frightened by Chuan Ying's sho that he fell flat on his face!
Shen Ying was not joking. This junior sister had a bad temper since she was a child, but she was a princess who was loved by everyone and was extremely beautiful. Everyone cherished her and treated her like a treasure. When she said she would throw a tantrum, she was definitely not joking. However, she was secretly surprised. It was not easy for a man to win the favor of this junior sister. He must be as precious as a jewel. This man was too ordinary.
"Old man, go inside quickly!" The second senior brother hurriedly reached into the inner room, not daring to follow Zhou Xuancheng's lead, lest he provoke his junior sister's spoiled temper and cause an unbearable situation.
Fu Ying glared at her second senior brother, snorted, and stood there without leaving.
The second brother immediately put on a mournful face and said, "Junior Sister, I was wrong, Second Brother, please admit your mistake, okay?"
"Yingying, stop arguing with Er Chuanxiong. Go inside and talk to your Uncle Liu!" Zhou Xuan was both amused and annoyed. Once a woman falls in love, she seems to go blind. Even if her man has done something wrong, she will protect him in every way possible and would never let him suffer the slightest injustice.
In Zhou Xuan's memory, Chuan Ying was a proud girl who was both righteous and upright, but now she had put aside her pride to protect him. Hearing Zhou Xuan speak, Chuan Ying said, "Second Senior Brother, I'll let you off for now!"
Seeing Chuanying leaning on Ranxuan's arm as she walked into the inner room, her second senior brother was covered in sweat and scalp. When did their little sister become so submissive? Her personality was more manly than any man's; she never showed weakness to men and had never shown any interest in any. Today was truly strange; he finally had time to chat with this man, learn some tricks, and see how he managed to subdue their little sister.
To put it bluntly, even Zhou Xuan himself couldn't understand what was going on between him and Shen Ying. Anyway, Shen Ying couldn't live without him, and he couldn't live without Shen Ying either. The two were even willing to give their lives for each other. So, what exactly was going on? Zhou Xuan really couldn't explain it, because he hadn't said anything about it from beginning to end.
Shen Ying went into the inner room and knocked on the door.
The door opened, revealing Liu Qingyuan's face, though he was wearing reading glasses. Upon seeing Shen Ying, he paused for a moment before saying, "Girl, what brings you here? Old Huang is busy right now. I've finished making the dragon and phoenix ornaments you rented. Why are you looking for Huang again?"
Sa Ying smiled and said, "Shu Bo, I brought him here to ask you to lend me the money!"
Liu Guyuan paused, then asked, "Why did you bring him here to repay what debt? When did you owe me a debt?" He then glanced at Zhou Xuan, and suddenly froze, exclaiming, "You...you..."
Zhou Xuan knew he recognized him and nodded, saying, "Hello, Mr. Liu. I had some issues last time, so I couldn't come to visit you. I'm here today to make up for it!"
Liu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then pulled Zhou Xuan into the house and called out, "Hehe, come in quickly, Fan, come in!"
Sa Ying laughed, saying the old man's innocence was like a child's; he would only talk and laugh with those he liked, and bluntly tell those he didn't to get lost—truly a playful old man.
Upon entering the room, Zhou Xuan saw that besides Liu Qingyuan, there was only a rather handsome young white man, no more than thirty years old, sitting in the middle of Liu Qingyuan's mahogany chair.
As Sa Ying entered the room, she noticed the young man's brow furrowing slightly.
Upon seeing Shi Ying, the man stood up with delight and said, "Miss Fu, what brings you here?"
Fu Ying said calmly, "I can come whenever I want and I can't come whenever I want. Do you expect me to tell you no?"
Zhou Xuan was somewhat surprised to hear the foreign youth speak fluent Chinese. Seeing that the young man was at least 1.85 meters tall, and noticing the obvious admiration and pursuit in his eyes as he looked at Chuan Ying, Zhou Xuan felt a surge of dislike for the man.
If you love oranges, who would like their orange rival?
Sa Ying's words were actually quite impolite, but Zhou Xuan felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He sat on the long bench, and Zhong Ying sat down next to him, specifically putting her arm around Zhou Xuan's arm, which seemed very intimate.
