Chapter 159: The Efficacy of the Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant
Afternoon.
The two-nation Antique Exhibition was held very successfully.
Especially the China Hall, which exhibited several national treasure-level items, as well as a dazzling array of ancient embroidery, which shone brilliantly during the exhibition and won unanimous praise online.
As the "Image Ambassador" for the Huaxia side, Bai Wei explained things all day long, her mouth dry and tongue parched.
Deputy Director Qian was very happy and kept praising her.
The leading figures in the antique world also showered her with praise.
Suddenly, Bai Wei felt a wave of dizziness in her brain and stumbled for a moment.
She immediately steadied herself against the wall.
Just at this moment!
The Jade Pendant she was wearing suddenly became scorching hot.
At the same time, in Bai Wei's mind, she suddenly "saw" the wardrobe!
"What is going on?"
Bai Wei was stunned.
Isn't the wardrobe in the Recreational Vehicle?
Moreover, fearing the wardrobe might be stolen, she had specifically instructed Museum Curator Qin to arrange for armed police officers to guard the garage.
Yet now, the wardrobe had appeared in her consciousness, and it seemed she could even use it for Teleportation.
Bai Wei was astonished.
She thought for a moment, quietly took a pack of tissues, tucked it into her pocket, and simultaneously concentrated her mind to teleport it.
The next second!
The tissues in her pocket disappeared, teleported to Daliang.
Bai Wei was dumbfounded!
The wardrobe in her mind could actually teleport things!
What on earth was going on?
Bai Wei hurriedly wrote a small note, put it into her pocket, and used her intent to teleport it over.
"Xiao Moting, can you receive the tissues? It seems I can send you things without using the wardrobe now."
Northern Frontier Camp.
Xiao Moting sat in the command tent, frowning as he looked at his cut finger.
There was a knife wound on his slender finger.
It was from when he was carving the small clay statue of Bai Wei just now and accidentally cut himself.
The blood on his finger stained his Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant.
Qin Zhan walked into the military tent, caught sight of Xiao Moting's injured finger at a glance, and hurriedly shouted.
"Prince, you are injured; I will go call the Military Doctor right away."
Xiao Moting placed the carving knife casually on the table, "Injuries are common in the army; it's a small wound, no need to call the Military Doctor..."
The moment the word "doctor" left his lips, he suddenly froze.
On the table in front of him, a pack of tissues and a small note had suddenly appeared.
Xiao Moting was stunned.
What had happened?
He was clearly not near the wardrobe, so how did he receive items sent by Shennü Daren out of thin air?
Xiao Moting picked up the note, saw the message written by Bai Wei, and was shocked again.
Shennü Daren could actually send him things without using the wardrobe?
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the Jade Pendant placed on the table.
The Jade Pendant had been stained with his blood just a moment ago, but now the bloodstain had vanished, as if it had been absorbed by the Jade Pendant.
Could it be the effect of this Jade Pendant?
This Jade Pendant was a pair; he had already sent the Phoenix Pendant to Bai Wei, leaving only the Dragon Pendant behind.
It was an heirloom of his mother, the Imperial Concubine, who had handed the Jade Pendant to him and told him to use it for his betrothal.
Xiao Moting was shocked in his heart.
He vaguely recalled that his mother's hometown was in the Wushan area, where the Divine Shaman Clan resided.
When he was a child, his mother seemed to have mentioned that this Jade Pendant, collected by their ancestors, came from the Divine Shaman Clan.
He never expected the Jade Pendant to have such an ability!
To verify his conjecture, Xiao Moting wrote on the back of the note.
"Shennü Daren, I am not near the wardrobe, but I have also received your items."
"I accidentally stained the Jade Pendant with blood just now; it must be that it has taken effect."
Exhibition Center.
Bai Wei held her breath.
In her consciousness, she sensed Xiao Moting sending something over!
There were many tourists around, so Bai Wei immediately turned her back, pretending to tidy her clothes, while simultaneously using her intent in her mind to control the note to teleport into her pocket.
The note entered her pocket.
Bai Wei took the note out when no one was looking.
On the note was Xiao Moting's familiar handwriting.
Bai Wei finished reading it quickly, feeling both surprised and delighted.
She never expected that the Phoenix Jade Pendant sent by Xiao Moting could actually connect to her wardrobe.
Now, she could use her thoughts to perform Teleportation on items!
Just as Bai Wei was about to write a note to Xiao Moting, a voice came from behind her unexpectedly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Wei was startled and quickly turned around.
Zhou Yuchuan was standing behind her, looking at her with concern.
"I'm fine," Bai Wei quickly explained, "maybe... I'm just tired."
Zhou Yuchuan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her.
"You really worked hard today, standing for a whole day and talking for so long. Drink some water to soothe your throat."
"Oh..."
Bai Wei could only take the mineral water and drink more than half of it in one breath.
Having talked non-stop, she was indeed thirsty.
Just at this moment!
A commotion broke out in front.
Bai Wei looked up and saw a large group of people walking over.
Dr. Luo was walking at the very front, followed by quite a few reporters looking for a story.
He stopped in front of Bai Wei and smiled politely.
"Miss Bai Wei, your presentation today was truly brilliant; you know these antiques like the back of your hand."
"For someone so young, you have such deep research into the history of Great Liang; I am very impressed."
Dr. Luo suddenly came over with a flurry of flattery, leaving Bai Wei feeling a bit confused.
But in front of the reporters, she maintained her etiquette and smiled politely.
"Dr. Luo, you are too kind."
"This is all just what I should be doing."
Dr. Luo smiled slightly.
"Since you are so knowledgeable about Great Liang, do you recognize this antique?"
As he spoke, he took out a box.
"This is a Bronze Ware unearthed half a year ago from the No. 3 tomb of the Great Liang nobility. I would like to ask if you know its origin?"
Bai Wei was taken aback and instinctively looked into the box.
Inside the box lay a strange bronze object.
Its shape looked like a modern router, and it even had three bronze "antennas" on it.
Dr. Luo smiled cordially, "According to the excavated records, this Bronze Ware is an imperial item, but I have never known what it actually is, so I have come specifically to ask for your guidance."
"Miss Bai, you are the Image Ambassador for Huaxia and have collected many Great Liang antiques, even owning a Dragon Robe; surely you don't mean to say you don't know what this is?"
Bai Wei frowned slightly.
Asking for guidance?
It was more likely he was here to cause trouble.
The surrounding reporters all crowded over, snapping photos incessantly.
The crowd of onlookers also pushed forward one after another.
Standing to the side, Deputy Director Qian and the others saw their expressions turn ugly.
Museum Curator could not help but rub his eyes, "The No. 3 tomb was severely damaged by grave robbers and many antiques were lost. This Bronze Ware was one of them; how could it be in Dr. Luo's hands?"
"Lao Qin, what exactly is that thing?"
"I don't know," Museum Curator shook his head, "The records don't mention it, and among all the antiques unearthed in history, there has never been such a Bronze Ware."
"In other words, the experts haven't figured out the purpose of this Bronze Ware yet?"
Museum Curator sighed helplessly, "The records only say it is an imperial item; other than that, not a single word is mentioned."
Deputy Director Qian frowned deeply and looked at Dr. Luo thoughtfully.
"It seems this was all arranged by them long ago! Yesterday, Bai Wei made the Roth Family lose all face, and today they have come to take revenge."
"Today is the first day of the Antique Exhibition, with the most reporters and visitors present. They want to embarrass our Image Ambassador in front of the reporters and make Huaxia lose face."
