Chapter 225

Hearing Tang Wuchou's words, and then looking at the bird egg in Tang Wuchou's hand, Yelan's eyelids twitched violently.

This jade pendant is just too terrifying; it causes such severe mental damage to people.

To be able to mistake a bird egg for a gemstone.

"Hehe."

At this moment, Tang Wuchou chuckled, his face full of excitement: "Trading a jade pendant for such a large gemstone, this is truly a steady profit without any loss."

"This is also thanks to my Guhua Sect always having a heart of benevolence and righteousness... *cough cough*, seeing how eager you are to seek treasure, I am willing to make such a trade."

"You can just take this jade pendant. Looking at it this way, you also have a connection with my Guhua Sect. Having obtained such a supreme treasure, you must also be careful and cherish it."

Saying this, Tang Wuchou hurriedly handed over the jade pendant in his hand.

"You stay here for now."

Yelan took the jade pendant and nodded, causing Tang Wuchou to nod like a chick pecking at rice.

"There is a very dense power of Geo elements on this."

The next second, Yelan felt around and pondered: "The jade pendant really does have a problem."

"Cui Jue Rock has a very bad influence on people; it is harmful to the human body and will lead to mental confusion."

Looking at this jade pendant and sensing the information from it, Lin Mo pondered: "If I remember correctly, there should be more than one of these things. Where did you obtain it?"

While speaking, Lin Mo questioned Tang Wuchou.

"It was given to me by my good brother Lao Chou."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Tang Wuchou hurriedly said: "It was sold to me by my friend. My iron-clad brother, could he harm me? Besides, that friend of mine still has many ornaments made of jade."

"You just said a moment ago that this was a treasure gifted to you by your friend."

Hearing Tang Wuchou's words, Yelan's eyelids twitched.

This guy is really contradicting himself.

"The problem is significant; hand it over to the Millelith in a while."

Lin Mo spoke up: "From Tang Wuchou's words, it is not hard to hear that there are many of these things. If people wear them, it will affect their bodies. We must first catch that guy."

"Mm."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan nodded, then turned her head to look at Tang Wuchou and said in a deep voice: "Then where is this friend of yours?"

"I, I don't know either."

Hearing Yelan's words and seeing Yelan staring at him, Tang Wuchou stammered: "I only know he was near The Chasm. I don't know if he is still selling them now. If you want to find him, I don't know how to find him either."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Yelan nodded, then turned to look at Lin Mo: "We will go and have the Millelith mobilize to search for this. There is a high possibility that he is over at the market. We must investigate quickly."

"Mm."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lin Mo nodded.

Immediately, he left this place with Yelan and took Tang Wuchou directly back to the Millelith station at The Chasm.

When the Millelith captain heard Yelan's instructions, his expression immediately became solemn. He took it to heart right away and had the available Millelith soldiers go to find the person quickly.

The efficiency of the Millelith was very high. Not long after, a person was brought over by two Millelith soldiers.

With a name and a general identity, it was still easy for the Millelith to find him in the vicinity.

"Officers, officers, why are you arresting me for no reason? I have always been doing small business."

While being escorted, Lao Chou hurriedly explained to the Millelith soldiers beside him.

Everything was fine, why would the Millelith arrest him?

He had not done anything illegal either.

"A matter involves you; be honest."

Regarding Lao Chou's words, a Millelith soldier spoke expressionlessly. Hearing this, Lao Chou swallowed his saliva and nodded: "I understand."

While speaking, Lao Chou quickly recalled his actions during this period in his mind, but he could not find anything wrong.

Soon, Lao Chou was brought before Yelan and Lin Mo.

When he saw the Hydro Vision hanging on Yelan's body, as well as Lin Mo's appearance, Lao Chou's expression changed drastically.

Aren't these the two lords from the Liyue General Affairs Office?

Especially one of them, who can even fly by riding a sword.

What do these two want with him?

For a moment, Lao Chou felt extremely uneasy and nervous.

"Lord Yelan, the person has been brought; he was in the market."

At this time, the Millelith soldier who brought Lao Chou spoke respectfully to Lin Mo and Yelan.

"Mm."

Hearing this, Yelan nodded, then cast her gaze toward Lao Chou.

And Lao Chou, seeing Yelan's gaze looking over, swallowed his saliva and stammered: "Two lords, I, did I commit some crime? I, I haven't done anything recently."

"You sold this jade pendant, didn't you?"

Yelan threw the jade pendant obtained from Tang Wuchou to Lao Chou, making Lao Chou's heart skip a beat.

Jade pendant?

Lao Chou hurriedly took it, felt it, sensed it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, this jade pendant was indeed sold by me. I remember that this jade pendant was sold to Tang Wuchou at the time."

"Because the material of this jade pendant was different from other jade materials at the time, I thought about making a big profit from it. As a result, Tang Wuchou saw it, and then Tang Wuchou insisted on having it, so I reluctantly sold it to him."

He still knew the situation regarding this jade pendant.

After all, it was the only one he had handled himself.

"In other words, of the jade of this material in your hands, there is only this one?"

Hearing Lao Chou's words, Yelan raised her eyebrows and pondered: "There are no others?"

If this were the case, that would truly be a good thing.

"Yes, I also wanted to have a second one, but there were none."

Hearing Yelan's words, Lao Chou hurriedly said: "But I only had this one in my hand. It was unique. I regretted giving it to Tang Wuchou at the time."

"That is fortunate; it did not lead to a disaster."

Hearing Lao Chou's words, Yelan nodded: "The ore of this material is rich in elemental power. If a person without a 'Vision' comes into contact with it, their personality will change drastically, and they will spout nonsense. If you come into contact with jade of this material in the future, report it to the Millelith immediately and explain the situation."

"Ah?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lao Chou's expression changed drastically: "Is there a problem with this jade?"

At this moment, Lao Chou completely understood why Yelan had come to find him.

So it was a problem with the jade.

"Do you know about Cui Jue Rock?"

Seeing the shocked Lao Chou, Yelan immediately knew that Lao Chou was also unaware, so she spoke up immediately.

"Cui Jue Rock?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Lao Chou was stunned. He pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "I know of this. After you mentioned it, my lord, looking closely, it is indeed very similar to the legendary 'Cui Jue Rock' that causes discomfort to the wearer."

"I had heard from the older generation before that although 'Cui Jue Rock' is precious, if carried close to the body for a long time, the carrier will often suffer bad luck; it is very sinister."

"So, it was me who harmed Old Tang?!"

As he was speaking, Lao Chou's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "How is Old Tang? You must have seen Old Tang to be able to find this jade pendant."

"Tang Wuchou and I were both in the Treasure Hoarders before. We pulled a job in The Chasm earlier, and everyone decided to go their separate ways."

"Tang Wuchou didn't know where he ran off to, but me, sigh, I was found by people from the former Treasure Hoarders and coerced by them to buy the inferior ornaments they made here and resell them in Liyue."

"They called it helping with sales, but what they made... could the materials compare to 'Shenglu Hall', or could the craftsmanship compare to 'Mingxing Jewelry'?"

"The money I earned before was all lost... Fortunately, that group of people might have come to their senses and started selling the materials directly, which also sold for more. Recently, they finally stopped coming to find me."

"No wonder there was a batch of Treasure Hoarders a while ago."

Hearing this, the Millelith soldier beside him understood: "So that group of guys came to find you. I thought they were their lost companions; it turns out it was you."

"I have already turned over a new leaf, my lord."

Hearing the Millelith soldier's words, Lao Chou hurriedly said: "At the time, I even took the initiative to go to the Liyue General Affairs Office to explain the situation, and only then did I come here to start a jade business. What I originally did was buy low and sell high, just to earn some money from adventurers; I never robbed anyone or anything."

If he spoke slowly, he felt he would definitely be arrested again.

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, the Millelith soldier understood.

Since the General Affairs Office already had the situation, it proved that this Lao Chou was not lying.
