Zuo Ling sensed danger emanating from him.
He covered it up by saying:
"You're overthinking it. I don't know anything about jade; I just think they look nice. If you insist on finding any similarities, I feel like they have a connection with me."
Zuo Ling's answer was quite shameless.
For ordinary people, energy crystals are useless except for decoration, and Zuo Ling didn't believe he could see anything from them.
Even within the Ding family, it is difficult for those who are not in power or direct descendants to access energy crystals.
The same should apply to other reclusive families.
Trying to scam her? No way!
The middle-aged man chuckled twice:
"There aren't many young women in the jade industry. I've been watching you ever since you entered the market. You buy things very quickly, and you don't even glance at items you're not interested in. You don't hesitate at all when choosing items. There's no one like you in the jade business."
Girls love to dress up and pick out a few pieces of jade to make jewelry. There's nothing wrong with that, but who doesn't spend hours picking and choosing, comparing and weighing, and not leaving the market for hours?
But you're different. When you pick stones, it's like you're in a rush, your hands are steady and precise. In my ten years in Baoshan, you're the first person I've seen like that. Isn't that strange?"
So that's how it is. Zuo Ling was annoyed; she had been careless.
It's not that she doesn't know how to hide it; she buys what she wants and adds a few things that aren't really useful, but she doesn't have time to dawdle.
Who knows if the apocalypse will come early? She has to get ahead of it and prepare everything she needs to.
In my opinion, she's just a nobody; who would even notice her?
Indeed, we lost our vigilance.
Zuo Ling didn't want to expose her secret, so of course she wouldn't tell the middle-aged man that it was an energy crystal, showing her impatience:
"I told you I had a connection with them, but you didn't believe me, so there's nothing I can do. Are you selling them or not? If not, I'm leaving."
The middle-aged man's eyes darkened, and he relented:
"Sell, of course I sell. I still have quite a lot of stock here. Why don't you take a look?"
As he spoke, he pulled out two large sacks from under the stall, which were stuffed full of various jade scraps.
Zuo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to sell it. Even if there was danger, she had to get the crystal first.
I was really afraid he would say he wasn't going to sell them anymore. The jade pieces I just picked out were of good quality and would greatly help improve my ability space.
The middle-aged man found an open space behind him, laid out hard plastic, and poured both sacks of jade onto it.
While busy working, he said:
“Young lady, you’re too wary. Tell me what’s wrong with you, and I might be able to help you find a way to deal with it. I’m a businessman; what bad intentions could I possibly have besides making money?”
I'd be a fool to believe you!
Since the middle-aged man noticed something was wrong with her, Zuo Ling decided not to hide it anymore.
Since she's finally found someone she can choose from, she must quickly improve her strength to deal with the dangers from the apocalypse and the Ding family.
Having lived in the Ding family for eight years, Zuo Ling knew how precious energy crystals were. It was impossible for a reclusive family to put such valuable items in a large pile of goods.
Since the middle-aged man had no connection with the reclusive family, he had nothing to worry about.
