Chapter 921

~4 min read 604 words

"Some things are secrets within the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; ordinary people wouldn't know about them."

Xu Chen scoffed inwardly.

Probably once you see it, you'll never be able to walk out again.

So he said:

"Sorry, I don't want to know.

Besides, I don't really want this jade pendant either."

Zhao Jin's face darkened.

If you don't want the jade pendant,

then how are we supposed to invite you over?

If we don't invite you over, can we just seize you?

Are we supposed to turn hostile right out in the open?

If we did that, it would damage the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's reputation."

Zhao Jin suppressed the fury in his heart and asked:

"Why refuse? This is one of the Eight Great Ancient Jades of the Eight Great Ancient Clans.

Possessing it might grant you the Heavenly Secret Law.

Our Heavenly Secret Pavilion has never been one to go back on its word.

If you refuse, the outside world will say the Heavenly Secret Pavilion forced you.

Brother, you can't behave like that."

Xu Chen said coolly:

"It's fake; why would I want it?

Let me tell you, I'm the best at spotting fakes.

The moment I felt its aura, I knew something was off.

You really take me for a fool? The Heavenly Secret Pavilion wants to trick me with a fake?"

"What—!"

At these words, the crowd immediately erupted.

The Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant was actually fake?

No way, how could that be?

The mighty Heavenly Secret Pavilion actually tried to fool the Examiner with a fake?

If this were true and it got out,

then the Zhao Family Heavenly Secret Pavilion's reputation would be finished.

Zhao Jin was stunned, then immediately said: "Impossible."

This was a jade pendant jointly overseen by him and Zhao Xinyu.

But if either side wanted to tamper with it,

the other would know.

He clearly hadn't sensed anything.

Zhao Xinyu had tampered with it.

Zhao Xinyu couldn't have gotten past him.

Xu Chen glanced at Zhao Jin:

"As everyone knows, the material of the Eight Great Ancient Jades is extraordinary.

Even an Immortal Emperor couldn't crush it, right?"

Zhao Jin sneered: "Naturally. The Eight Great Ancient Jades cannot be crushed."

Xu Chen nodded: "Then what if I say the one on my head can be crushed at will?"

Zhao Jin scoffed: "If you can crush it, this seat will call you......"

The word "father" hadn't even left his mouth.

Zhao Jin suddenly woke up.

Almost a fool.

What if this jade pendant is fake?

Although he didn't believe it was fake,

but what if?

Xu Chen said cheerfully: "What, calling me daddy? Don't dare? Can't afford to play?"

Zhao Jin gritted his teeth: "Go ahead and crush it. If you can crush it, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will absolutely not make things difficult for you today."

Xu Chen nodded, but didn't make a move:

"You do it yourself, so you don't frame me later by saying I crushed it.

If that happens, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I probably couldn't wash myself clean."

Zhao Jin snorted coldly.

His body flickered slightly and vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared,

he was already beside the jade pendant.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, Spiritual Qi gathered, and crushed down hard.

"Crack!"

The next second, something shocked Zhao Jin.

That jade pendant, which in his eyes could shatter anything.

At this moment, had already broken.

It directly crumbled into fine powder.

Slipping from his hand.

At this moment, he was dumbfounded.

The crowd, seeing this, was likewise stunned speechless.

Holy crap, a fake?
