Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Nalan Zhao didn't blame her.
He Zhou then followed them back to the Jiang family.
Although he was mocked a couple of times, Qingciyu wasn't angry.
"He Zhou, your home isn't even around here, what are you doing following us?"
Jiang Ming spoke with some disdain. To be honest, he didn't like He Zhou at all. He was particularly pretentious and fell in love with every woman he met.
The look in his eyes when he sat down at the breakfast shop told him everything.
He Zhou smiled gently and said, "I'm very curious about celadon jade, so I wanted to come along and explain it to you. Is that not allowed?"
"Tsk, sister, don't pay him any attention. He's just mentally ill." Jiang Mingcai didn't want He Zhou to come into their Jiang family home, lest that idiot He Jiajia come over again later.
Shen Zhiyi didn't want to pay any attention to He Zhou, and followed Jiang Ming directly into the Jiang family home.
Jiang Ming knew that Nalan Zhao and Shen Zhiyi were from the same place and were friends, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After bringing the person back to the Jiang family, he went to attend to other matters.
"Nalan Zhao, you actually came to the island?" Shen Zhiyi asked again. "But this is a dungeon created by the player system, how did you get in?"
Nalan Zhao sat to one side and obediently answered her, "Sister, although it's a game instance, it's all built around the entire galaxy and other islands."
"If you look carefully, you can find it."
Shen Zhiyi nodded. So that's how it is. She had initially thought that the island instance and the werewolf instance were the same, both being independent spaces.
But now that it's been said that way, I realize it's not true.
"But why did you decide to come?"
Nalan Zhao pursed his lips upon hearing this, then looked up hesitantly at Shen Zhiyi and said, "Sister, I'm worried about you."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Nalan Zhao's answer to be like this.
"Okay, I'll go find the Jiang family's kitchen and borrow it to make you something to eat." Shen Zhiyi changed the subject and got up to find the Jiang family's butler.
Nalan Zhao sat on the sofa and watched Shen Zhiyi get up.
Just then, Jiang Chuan returned from outside. "Miss Chen, you're back."
Shen Zhiyi nodded, and was about to ask to use the kitchen when she heard Jiang Chuan say, "Miss Shen went to a jade gambling shop today and opened a piece of celadon jade?"
"If possible, I suggest you sell the celadon jade and don't keep it on you."
Shen Zhiyi frowned. "Why?"
Jiang Chuan sighed and sat down on the sofa in the living room. He wasn't surprised to see Nalan Zhao, as Jiang Ming had already told him.
"Not many celadon jade pieces have been extracted, and many people want celadon jade."
"So now you've unearthed a piece of celadon jade, and everyone wants it, but you're unwilling to sell it."
"Most jade lovers won't force you to sell jade, but there are a few people in Central Town who aren't easy to get along with."
Jiang Chuan spoke tactfully, but Shen Zhiyi understood the meaning behind his words.
Someone has their eye on the jade in her hand.
"I won't sell this jade. I want to keep it to make something." Even though she knew someone was eyeing her, she still didn't want to give up the jade.
Jiang Chuan knew that Shen Zhiyi must have thought the same thing, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just reminded her to be careful.
"You should remember He Zhou, whom we met today, right? He's no good, and he also loves collecting celadon jade."
"And the Li family in the east of the city, their youngest son is obsessed with gambling on stones. The news that you found a celadon jade has probably already reached his ears."
"There are also the Lin and Lian families in the west of the city. These two families are also quite crazy about gambling on jade and have an insane pursuit of jade."
Jiang Chuan told Shen Zhiyi a long story, and finally added, "That Jiang Ming kid is really something, why did he have to bring you into jade gambling?"
"You've gotten yourself into trouble now. I'll take care of him for you later."
"By the way, what were you about to say?" Jiang Chuan remembered that Shen Zhiyi seemed to have something she wanted to tell him.
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then remembered that she had wanted to borrow the kitchen.
"It's alright, feel free to use it." Jiang Chuan thought it was something serious when he saw that Shen Zhiyi only wanted to use the kitchen.
Shen Zhiyi went into the kitchen and made a bowl of noodles for Nalan Zhao.
"Thank you, sister. It tastes just like before, very delicious." Nalan Zhao wasn't lying to Shen Zhiyi; he really hadn't been eating properly lately.
He was quite happy to eat the noodles made by Shen Zhiyi.
Just as I was watching Nalan Zhao eat noodles, I heard the steward talking to Jiang Chuan.
"Young Master, people from the Li family have arrived."
Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly. These people had arrived far too quickly. "Let them in."
"Young Master Jiang, I've come to ask you about the young lady who was with Jiang Ming today," Li Ting said directly as he entered.
Jiang Chuan asked him to sit down, "She's not from our Central Town."
"Where is she from? I heard she went back to your Jiang family with Jiang Ming." Li Ting pressed on.
Jiang Chuan was somewhat displeased, and his tone became much colder, "What? Now that you know you've returned to our Jiang family, don't you understand what that means?"
"And what's with your attitude? Do you really think your Li family is anything special?"
Jiang Chuan hates people who bully others because of their family background.
Li Ting choked, almost forgetting that this was the Jiang family's residence, not a place where he could run wild.
"I just wanted to talk to that lady about a collaboration, nothing more," Li Ting said, softening his tone.
Jiang Chuan knew Li Ting's little scheme, but Shen Zhiyi was their guest. Could they allow their guest to be bullied on their turf?
"I'm sorry, she is our guest."
In short, he rejected Li Ting's request, making it clear that he would protect Shen Zhiyi.
Li Ting gritted his teeth. Damn it, when will someone else be able to take over the town mayor's position from the Jiang family? The Jiang family really doesn't know what's good for them, they won't listen to either soft or hard tactics.
Then, a smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, I just came to ask. I didn't mean anything by it. Since that lady is unwilling, then forget it."
Jiang Chuan gave Li Ting a meaningful look, "You'd better do that."
Li Ting smiled and nodded, "Then I won't bother you any longer."
"No need to see me out."
The smile on Li Ting's face vanished the moment he turned around, replaced by a gloomy expression.
Nalan Zhao was still eating his noodles, as if everything was none of his business.
Shen Zhiyi sat to the side, pretending not to hear, and just watched Nalan Zhao eat noodles.
Jiang Chuan walked over and, seeing that Shen Zhiyi was still so calm, said helplessly, "So calm? Aren't you afraid that Li Ting will come after you behind your back?"
"Should I say I'm afraid or not?" After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi said.
