Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Disdain from Xu Yixue_1

Xu Fan healed Xu Yixue’s pain, and then had Xu Yixue contact Ye Xiaoning and Tongtong who were still at Ken De Ji.

Soon after, Ye Xiaoning came out of Ken De Ji with Tongtong in her arms and got into Xu Fan’s car.

Seeing the remaining blush on Xu Yixue’s face, Ye Xiaoning teased with a sly smile, “Yixue, it doesn’t hurt anymore, right?”

“Xiao Ning, what are you laughing at? Be careful, or I might just kill you!” Xu Yixue, upon seeing Ye Xiaoning’s mischievous expression, waved her little fists in a show of mock anger.

“Haha, some people just don’t appreciate kindness. Can’t a sister show some concern?” Ye Xiaoning put on a very pained expression and exaggeratedly said.

“Better go back to studying your stock knowledge fast. If we get sniped and defeated in the stock market this time, the two of us might as well go begging,” Xu Yixue said seriously, raising an eyebrow at Ye Xiaoning.

“Yeah, right,” Ye Xiaoning nodded, remembering the most pressing task at hand, and then took out her phone again, burying her head in it.

“Stock market sniping? Can your Xinghai Media really be targeted in the stock market?” Xu Fan asked curiously upon hearing Xu Yixue’s words.

Although not very familiar with the stock market, Xu Fan at least grew up in Yan Country’s Xu Family, one of the four great families, and was the legitimate heir. He had been hearing about the stock market from a young age.

Many stock market insider tips that ordinary people would never have access to he had heard so much that his ears could form calluses. To him, the stock market was far from a mystery.

Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, anxious to figure out how to defend against stock market snipers, didn’t engage much with Xu Fan upon entering and dove straight into Ye Xiaoning’s room. By the looks of it, they were quite likely to be burning the midnight oil with Ye Xiaoning.

“Wait a minute!” Xu Fan called out eagerly, stopping Xu Yixue in her tracks just as she entered the door.

“What is it?” Xu Yixue turned around, her curiosity piqued as she looked at Xu Fan.

The process of Xu Fan massaging her abdomen to treat her pain not only relieved the discomfort in her lower belly but also filled her with a vigorous energy. However, since Xu Fan had directly touched her stomach, she felt an urge to avoid his gaze and flee at the mere sight of him.

“I have something for you, to protect yourself,” Xu Fan said as he pulled out the Spirit Jade Pendant he had bid for the previous night at Zangyu Tower in Yulou Ancient Town.

Though the jade pendant was a damaged Spiritual Artifact, Xu Fan had restored it to possess some defensive capabilities. And while the Guardian Spirit within the artifact had disappeared for some unknown reason, Xu Fan had captured three Resentful Spirits, which he had sent into the pendant’s transport formation in the hopes that they might find the lost Guardian Spirit in its world.

If luck was on their side, they might be able to retrieve the Guardian Spirit for the pendant, in which case this Spiritual Artifact with a Guardian Spirit would become quite exceptional, no less capable than the Hello KT Jade Pendant Tongtong wore.

Upon hearing that Xu Fan had a gift for her, a spark of joy appeared in Xu Yixue’s eyes. However, her expression turned to slight disappointment once she saw what he was offering.

As a non-martial artist, Xu Yixue couldn’t sense the value of the jade pendant. In her eyes, the pendant in Xu Fan’s hand looked ordinary, lacking any intricate carving or pattern. Though the color was white with a hint of emerald green, it wasn’t the pure and flawless jade that Xu Yixue preferred. After a brief inspection, she shook her head in subtle disappointment.

“Is this what you give to a girl? Where did you pick up this jade pendant from, a street stall? It looks more like an ornament than a necklace. Wearing it around my neck would be hideous. I definitely don’t want it,” Xu Yixue said with a frown.

“This necklace isn’t for vanity. It’s a magic artifact that has been blessed by a high monk to keep you safe and healthy. In times of danger, it can turn misfortune into good luck, so you must wear it. Also, the jade carries a mantra; remember to chant in your heart, ‘Xu Fan, save me,’ when in peril, and it will help you fend off the crisis,” Xu Fan said calmly to Xu Yixue.
