The handsome young man was holding a glass of strawberry juice and sitting with his legs crossed. He looked to be in his early twenties, but he had a head of white hair.
"So what do you want from me?"
The person sitting in front of him was Ji Jingyao, who said coldly, "I suspect I've been bewitched."
The young man named Xuan Lou stood up straight, his eyes almost widening, "Is this true?"
He looked at his childhood friend seriously, a hint of confusion on his handsome face, "No."
"Yes." Ji Jingyao's words were concise and firm.
Xuan Lou pinched his chin, still with a blank expression. He really didn't see it. "What was your reaction? Usually, when a person is poisoned, they will always think about the other person, be in love with them, and only want to be with them."
He thought his childhood friend looked normal, completely different from those people who were infected with love poison that he had seen.
After asking this question, Xuan Lou saw that Ji Jingyao, who had never cared about anything, actually had an expression of embarrassment and hesitation on his face. Not only that, his ears even turned red.
Oh, heaven and earth, is this really what he can see?
Xuan Lou wanted to get closer and take out his phone to take ten photos. However, when he pulled out his phone, he instantly felt the freezing cold emanating from the other person, as well as the murderous look in his eyes...
Xuanlou was scared.
Well, this kind of Ji Jingyao is the childhood friend he is familiar with.
He coughed pretentiously, "Then you have to tell me what's wrong with you, right?"
Ji Jingyao was silent for a while and said, "I had several dreams about her."
Xuan Lou tried hard not to let his expression become too gossipy. "Dreaming? Isn't that normal?"
Ji Jingyao said calmly, "I've dreamt about her at least five times in a month. This has never happened before."
"Well, such a high frequency is indeed not normal. But it may not be poisoning. If you are poisoned, it will make you dream every day. By the way, what kind of dream did you have? Is it a erotic dream?" When he said the latter part, he still couldn't help but let out a ripple.
Ji Jingyao gave him a cold look and said, "No. I dreamed of a scene similar to ancient costumes."
In his dream, Shi Miao is a wealthy young lady from a family that has fallen on hard times. She is engaged to him. Her parents want to break off the engagement and send her off to marry a powerful man. She is steadfastly loyal to him and refuses to break her promise.
Later, the two of them eloped and fled, living in seclusion in the woods. However, Shi Miao's powerful fiancé caught up with her, and she chose to commit suicide because she did not want to implicate him.
As her blood splattered all over his clothes, he was overwhelmed by a violent and destructive emotion in his dream.
When he woke up, he saw a scarlet world and many people were calling him the Demon Lord.
The emotions in the dream were too real, as if they had happened before.
Ji Jingyao didn't explain it in detail, but just mentioned it in a few words.
Xuan Lou said with disappointment, "Have you watched too many ancient costume dramas?" What rich lady, what demon lord, it sounds like the setting of an ancient costume drama, and it is the kind of tragic love that spans three lifetimes.
However, this plot sounds more exciting than the ancient idol drama that Xuanlou has been following recently.
Xuan Lou, as a disciple of Wenshimen, a major Xuanmen sect, likes to watch idol dramas the most and is even more addicted than little girls.
Ji Jingyao said in a cold tone: "I don't read these."
"So you suspect she cast a spell on you?"
Ji Jingyao was silent for a while, "Maybe it was someone else." For some reason, he always felt that she would not be that kind of person.
"Anyway, I don't see any signs that you've been bewitched. How about you invite her over? Maybe I can find a clue once I see the person involved."
Ji Jingyao pondered for a moment and asked his subordinates to investigate Shi Miao's recent situation.
The Zhou family will hold a banquet on February 12th...
Shi Miao is now purchasing raw materials in Province Y, apparently intending to mine jade.
Ji Jingyao had an idea in mind. He said to Xuan Lou coldly, "Come with me to the wool field in R City later."
Xuan Lou was disgusted, "There's so much dirt over there!"
Under Ji Jingyao's deathly gaze, he immediately changed his words: "But what is our relationship? I will definitely help you!"
Although Ji Jingyao wasn't considered a disciple of the Wenshi Sect, his master had always been concerned about his aptitude and was eager to have him as his disciple. Furthermore, Ji Jingyao often provided the Wenshi Sect with jade for cultivation, so the relationship between the two families was very close.
…
Pei Yu rubbed his temples and felt a headache.
In order to help Shi Miao buy raw materials, he specially found several jade masters, and planned to let these masters teach Shi Miao and others some knowledge about buying jade.
In the end, Shi Miao didn't like most of the ones the master selected. When she bought the raw materials, she did it just like visiting a night market stall. She would just glance at them and buy them directly.
The stall owners in the market were almost grinning from ear to ear. They probably thought Shi Miao was just a fool with lots of money.
In two days, Shi Miao had spent more than 20 million yuan. Even he was frightened by the sight.
Pei Yu asked, "Shi Miao, what are your criteria for selecting wool materials?"
She came here with great difficulty, it is impossible that she did it just to satisfy her shopping desire.
Shi Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "Intuition."
Pei Yu and his team's selection process was too complicated. After a whole morning, they could probably only choose a few pieces, and they might not even be good. There was a high possibility that they would collapse after opening.
Shi Miao judged directly based on the spiritual energy around the rough material. If the spiritual energy was abundant, there must be gems with good water content inside.
