Chapter 1341

"I see. By the way, Xiao Han, is your Men Sect that stingy? That item seemed rather ordinary." Lin Yi looked at Xiao Han with curiosity, wondering if Xiao Han's former sect had been incredibly poor.

Xiao Han said nothing, merely casting a faint glance at Lin Yi.

Ning Chen recalled the matter of that box back then: "The contents of that box were extraordinary."

If anyone else had said this, Lin Yi would have thought they were bragging; after all, the item hadn't even been revealed yet, so how could it be extraordinary?

But since this person was Ning Chen, Lin Yi would believe his words one hundred percent.

"Since Brother Ning says so, I'm suddenly very curious about what's inside. Sister Hongxiu, can we go too?"

Miss Hongxiu nodded and said, "Of course, everyone can go and participate. By the way, Ning Chen, how do you know the contents of that box are extraordinary?"

Miss Hongxiu was somewhat curious; Ning Chen seemed to know exactly what was inside, speaking with such absolute certainty.

"Intuition."

Ning Chen's brief two words completely silenced Miss Hongxiu, but she did believe him; he was likely speaking from intuition.

"Boss, there's a Miss outside saying she's here to deliver an apology gift." The waiter rushed upstairs to report the information to Miss Hongxiu.

It seemed the compensation from the Liu Manor had arrived.

"Fine, bring her up."

When the door opened again, a Miss stood outside, followed by several maids, and the Miss was holding a box in her hands.

Seeing the visitor, Miss Hongxiu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why have you come?"

The Miss sighed and said, "My father sent me."

Miss Hongxiu introduced the girl to the others: this Miss was the eldest daughter of the Liu Manor, Liu Zheng, though previously, at the Liu family head's place, she had never been as popular as the second Miss.

She made no attempt to hide Liu Zheng's presence, stating the other's situation directly.

Liu Zheng appeared completely calm; even when spoken to this way, she showed no sign of panic or displeasure.

"It doesn't matter. My father has been biased more than once or twice. I don't want to stay in this family anyway; I want to go out and see the world."

Liu Zheng's name itself was quite masculine, and her personality was as carefree as a boy's; she was unwilling to be a canary in a cage. This was why Miss Hongxiu knew her. However, both knew of each other and had seen the other without the other's knowledge; this was their first time meeting face-to-face like this.

"By the way, this is the apology gift my father asked me to bring, our family's heirloom treasure."

Saying this, Liu Zheng placed the box on the table and then opened it.

Inside was indeed a jade piece, circular in shape, but hollow in the center.

The jade was hung by a red string, looking similar to a necklace.

The moment the other person entered and Ning Chen saw the box, he sensed a thick, pure aura of immortality within.

It truly looked like an item worthy of being a family heirloom; this was far too valuable.

Ning Chen tapped Gu Yanqi's hand, indicating that this item was excellent.

Although the others couldn't see the situation, they instinctively felt the jade gave off a unique sensation.

Miss Hongxiu took the box, examined the jade inside carefully, then nodded: "Indeed, it is a fine item. Tell your father we have accepted it, and the matter is settled."

Liu Zheng nodded. When she reached the door, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but hesitated and left without speaking a word.

Since the other person didn't speak, they wouldn't ask; besides, they weren't that familiar with her yet.

Miss Hongxiu placed the box before Gu Yanqi; this apology gift was for Gu Yanqi and rightfully belonged to her.

Gu Yanqi felt like laughing; for some reason, she felt that since coming to this world, she had been receiving all sorts of fine items.

A bracelet, a hairpin, and now this necklace; she was almost assembling a complete set.

If this were a game where one drew for outfits, she would definitely be the one overflowing with luck.

Gu Yanqi handed the box to Ning Chen; the meaning was obvious—she wanted Ning Chen to put it on her.

Ning Chen did not disappoint her. He picked up the red string, squeezed it in his hand to ensure it was soft and wouldn't scratch Gu Yanqi's skin, and then put it on her.

It must be said that none of the immortal artifacts and ornaments on Gu Yanqi felt out of place; it was as if these items were originally meant for her.

Suddenly, the necklace on Gu Yanqi's neck emitted light. After the light vanished, the once ordinary necklace on her neck became exquisitely beautiful.
