Chapter 171 - 171 Jade Talisman
The Young Matriarch
The Qi Family was small in number; a few years ago, his parents passed away in a plane crash during a trip abroad, and he was forced to take charge of the Qi Family prematurely, taking good care of his young sister.
In todayâs business world, everyone he encountered had to respectfully address him as âPresident Qi,â yet they didnât know how long it had been since he was last scolded by an elder.
Qi Mo smiled gently, âThere is an auction coming up in Haicheng soon, and from what I know, there should be a Snow Lotus available. Great Ancestor, are you interested?â
Bai Chuwei stroked her chin, suddenly realizing.
Tsk â the Dog System was still under repair, and when she took a quick look yesterday, the self-repair progress was at 2%.
Looking at this Trash System, Bai Chuwei wished she could pay to have it fixed by someone else; it had been over five thousand years and it still wasnât working properly.
But it also indicated one thing⦠the plot was still in progress!
Bai Chuwei remembered the description in the original text: the female protagonist, Tong Qingyan, to bless Duan Xiuqi and Aunt Tong Yunrou on their marriage, wanted to present a wedding giftâa jade bracelet!
And the raw material for this jade bracelet was a piece of jade that Tong Qingyan accidentally bought at an auction, which most likely was the auction Qi Mo mentioned.
The key point was that as the female antagonist, the original character accidentally broke the jade bracelet on the wedding day, which led to her misfortune.
Tong Yunrou believed that she, a mere adopted daughter, had ruined her wedding, causing the original character to lose face in Haichengâs social circles, facing public condemnation.
A cold sneer gradually appeared on Bai Chuweiâs lips, such nonsense!
Bai Chuwei turned her head to look at Qi Moâs pale face and lean frame, and said with a smile, âThis is an issue of physical fitness, and medication will not cure it. This time at the auction, snatch that piece of jade for me, and Iâll make you a Jade Talisman to wear and nourish your body.â
She was capable of drawing Spirit Talismans, but after all, talismans only worked for a few days before losing their effectiveness.
If itâs made from high-quality jade and imbued with Spiritual Power, wearing as a Jade Talisman could last at least twenty years.
Once Qi Moâs body was in good health, she wouldnât have to worry about this kid getting his soul hooked by some minor Demonic Array someday.
Qi Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting to benefit from this misfortune, and showed a refined smile, âOf course, Great Ancestor.â
Qi Mo clapped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask, âGreat Ancestor, may I ask why you called me late last night?â
Bai Chuwei gave him a sidelong glance and said, âPrepare to make a move on the Tong Family; those good-for-nothings owe me four hundred million and havenât paid it back. I need to teach them a lesson!â
If it werenât for Tong Yunrou marrying into the Duan Family, Qi Mo, as the head of one of the eight great families, wouldnât have taken the Tong Family seriously. He softened into a smile, âNo problem, Iâll ensure the Tong Family goes bankrupt.â
Bai Chuwei clicked her tongue a few times, truly a promising youth.
Look at that gentle face, uttering the most ruthless words. He had the courage she had when she faced down her enemies, fearless in the face of danger.
âAlso, thereâs the matter of⦠Great Ancestor, do we need to inform the other six great family heads about you coming out of seclusion?â Qi Mo asked further.
The eight great families had a very close and secretive network established among themselves.
Bai Chuwei was somewhat surprised, âSix great families?â
A look of difficulty slowly emerged on Qi Moâs fair face as he said, âGreat Ancestor, you might not be aware since youâve been in the mountains, but the current head of the Tang Family is an illegitimate son who returned home only a few years ago.â
And such an illegitimate son naturally would not know the secrets acknowledged by the eight great families and was clueless about the Great Ancestor.
