Chapter 324: Jiangyun Temple (13/15, Autumn Subscription)

No wonder Bai Xiaoya could command so many people, no wonder she could easily find someone, no wonder she remained calm no matter what she did.

This is truly a billionaire heiress.

As for the rival Wuwu Group, it is not a local Jianghai City conglomerate but an outsider, and its operating style may differ from Jianghai City's.

But as the saying goes, a thousand dragons cannot suppress the local snake.

If others are bullying you to your face and you can't fight back, isn't that just because you're outmatched? Giving up market share to survive isn't so bad, is it?

Although Bai Xiaoya treated the matter as extremely serious, to Fang Yue it was just two big conglomerates biting each other—it felt unreal.

If not for Bai Xiaoya living with him and their slight bond making him lean toward her side, Fang Yue might have cheered for both conglomerates, urging them to kill each other quickly.

Fang Yue had just been pondering the feud between the two conglomerates when suddenly he saw the Jade Pendant Bai Xiaoya pulled out.

The moment Bai Xiaoya pulled out the Jade Pendant, Fang Yue's eyes locked onto it.

"Holy shit!!? You—you—you—you, how do you have this thing!!?"

That's right! The object in Bai Xiaoya's hand was unmistakably the Soul-Linking Jade Pendant—nearly identical to the one in the game!

If Fang Yue had never encountered the Parchment or gained power synchronized from the game, he would have assumed Bai Xiaoya's item was merely an official custom figurine.

But the problem was, Fang Yue had received benefits from the game!

So he understood just how miraculous and unbelievable the game was.

Yet… even he had never once managed to bring anything from the game into the real world.

Or rather, he had no idea how to do it—the Parchment had no such function, damn useless Parchment!

【You cannot speak ill of the great and noble Parchment! You cannot!!】

Useless useless useless useless useless, it's just useless!

Fang Yue ignored it entirely, staring fixedly at Bai Xiaoya.

If you could bring things from the game into the real world, it would be like a heifer boarding a jet—utterly mind-blowing!

Many things in the game appear utterly ordinary within its world.

But if brought into the real world, they would become invincible.

The clearest example is the Bronze Life Order—directly transferring lifespan—this isn't just amazing, it's insane!

Of course, Fang Yue was only imagining—he didn't yet know what changes or differences might occur when game items entered the real world, nor did he know how to do it at all.

All of this depended on what Bai Xiaoya would say.

Under Fang Yue's gaze, Bai Xiaoya furrowed her brow slightly.

"This is the item my father gave me—it naturally ended up in my hands. But you—why are you reacting so strongly, like you've seen this before? And… when I entered the game, the first character I created automatically had this Jade Pendant hanging around its neck. What kind of game is 'Blue Sea'? Why is there this kind of crossover? And why are you so obsessed with Blue Sea? It can't just be because it's fun, right? Isn't your exaggerated combat skill learned from Blue Sea?"

Bai Xiaoya asked a whole barrage of questions at once.

Fang Yue said directly: "We'll talk about this later—first tell me, why does your father have the Soul-Linking Jade Pendant? Where did he get it? Did he bring it out from the game? How did he bring it out… too complicated, do you have your father's contact info? I need to talk to him!"

Both had a mountain of questions to ask and were both impatient, but Bai Xiaoya clearly had better upbringing, better able to regulate her emotions and calm down.

"I'll answer your questions first—this item was bought by my father from someone else; who exactly, don't ask. Whether it was brought out from the game, I don't know. As for my father's contact info, I can give it to you—but only after you accompany me through this Jiangyun Temple trip and we get home."

Fang Yue paused, then nodded: "Alright."

Clearly, Bai Xiaoya knew very little.

And her father—the CEO of Hongchen Group—clearly knew far more secrets.

"Now it's your turn to answer my questions: why do you know this is the Soul-Linking Jade Pendant? What exactly is a Soul-Linking Jade Pendant…"

Their exchange was wildly imbalanced.

Bai Xiaoya knew little; Fang Yue knew far more insider details.

After some thought, Fang Yue chose to answer only some less critical questions.

He skipped any questions involving his own secrets.

Even so, Bai Xiaoya absorbed a massive amount of new knowledge.

"So the 'Blue Sea' game is this mysterious! Even the Jade Pendant my father gave me is just an item from the game!"

"Since this item has appeared in the real world, it proves that things from the game can indeed be brought into reality."

"This is too… too unbelievable—if game items could be brought into the real world without any side effects, the entire real-world balance would be turned upside down!"

Bai Xiaoya's emotions surged as she imagined people in the real world leaping across rooftops, one strength overpowering ten.

But soon, she thought of a far more serious problem…

"The weird things we encountered before—that ghostly thing—came from the game, didn't it? That means those things can sneak out too!"

In the game, players are immortal—they can respawn and switch characters after death.

But in the real world, everyone has only one life—die, and you're dead. If you encounter a weird thing, ordinary human physical stats are no different from being already dead.

Add to that the mysterious, unfathomable abilities of these weird things…

Bai Xiaoya shuddered involuntarily—it was too dangerous… if game weirdness could freely emerge, it would be catastrophic!

Unconsciously, she moved closer to Fang Yue's seat.

"Now you're scared? Don't worry—I've fought weird things before. Even if they appear in the real world, their power is weakened, nothing to fear."

As the two spoke, the helicopter began its descent.

Looking down from high above, they could see a temple nestled among towering bamboo groves.

It was unmistakably Jiangyun Temple.

Inside the temple grounds, crowds surged—it was a busy day for worship.

Hummmmm.

The helicopter landed quickly.

She told A Ming to wait outside and entered Jiangyun Temple with Fang Yue.

Too many people, too crowded—they squeezed through for a while before finally making it inside.

"Which abbot are you looking for? They all look ancient and bald—sure your person is at Jiangyun Temple?"

"Daddy wouldn't lie to me, he's definitely here!"

Saying that, Bai Xiaoya began going room by room to search.

In the first room, an old monk was smoking.

"Sorry to disturb you…"
