Gu Huai couldn't figure out the trick of the person in front of him, but he seemed to be very happy, and his brows lit up when he looked at the jade bottle.
You wouldn't really stop him just because you caught sight of this thing, right?
Although this white jade bottle made of three Korean jade is very rare and quite durable, from Gu Huai's perspective, it is not that rare. If the other party wants it, of course it's okay, and if possible, he is even willing to pay something more precious.
But this thing...
Gu Huai's subtle pause was immediately caught by Zhenjun Yuanheng.
In fact, Zhenjun Yuanheng did not like this white jade bottle as much as the other party imagined... In fact, he had been observing the expression on Gu Huai's face casually, and the other party's pause was quite conspicuous in his eyes.
"If you want to find this kind of spiritual tool, I have here some elixir bottles made of several materials, some of which are rarer than San Han Jade. If you want it, I will give it to you." Think of it as toll, Gu Huai thought to himself.
"Oh? What can you tell me?" Duofangxing asked.
Seeing that the other party was persuaded, Gu Huai felt a flash of joy in his heart and opened his mouth to report several spiritual materials.
The other party nodded while listening, saying nothing, and never expressed any other thoughts on this. It seemed that just after listening, his expression was surprisingly peaceful, without any trace of greed.
"Indeed, several of the spiritual materials listed by my friend are quite precious, and some are even rarer than Three Han Jade, but those are not what I want. This..." The other party raised the white jade bottle in his hand, He raised his eyebrows.
I have to admit that Gu Huai felt a little bit of undetectable disappointment in his heart, but this strangeness was quickly covered up by him, so fast that even he didn't seem to notice it.
"If your Excellency is interested, just take it. Thank you for your help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here safely. Please accept my respect."
True Lord Yuan Heng actually avoided it: "Huh? Don't be anxious. Listen to what I have to say first before speaking." He was not sure where the boy in front of him got this vial of Ningxia.
If it was obtained or picked up from the market, he would not say anything. If the other party obtained this thing through some means, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Zhenjun Yuanheng looked at the somewhat stiff young man thoughtfully, as if he wanted to see the other person's true inner self through this thin layer of fake skin.
It has to be said that True Lord Yuan Heng's words immediately pushed the relationship between him and Gu Huai to a precarious level.
etc? What are you waiting for?
Gu Huai froze for a moment. Although he could not fully understand the other party's meaning for the time being, he still instinctively sensed the danger. He always felt that there was something in the other party's words, and also always felt that... if he said something wrong next, the other party might not be the one. Face.
"My little friend, I won't embarrass you. As long as you answer me honestly, I will let you go in a while. Don't worry, I am not the same group of people as those outside and have nothing to do with me. Well, strictly speaking, I You still have... grudges against the group of people outside and the master behind you."
I have a grudge... Fortunately, I met someone with a grudge. Although this is just the words of the other party's family, it can indeed explain something.
Gu Huai's face was calm, and he did not show much emotion. It was probably suppressed by his master. He said calmly and even somewhat calmly: "I don't know what you want to know. If you can, I will tell you everything."
If you can...that means you won't say what you can't say, right?
Quite a personality.
True Lord Yuan Heng naturally heard the implication of the child's words, and was not angry. He said openly and honestly: "In that case, can you tell me where you got this jade bottle from?"
Where did you get it? I got it from Taoist friend Lin, who we had met several times, but in these meetings we forged quite a friendship.
It is said that Ningxia got a lot of good things from him at that time, but felt that the elixirs he gave were both good and bad, and thought that they could not be packaged in a shabby way no matter how shabby they were. So I reluctantly gave up two white jade bottles as a bonus to preserve the medicinal properties of those mid-to-high-level elixirs.
This set of elixir bottles made of Sanhan jade was found by Ningxia in a secret room in the back mountain of the Wuhua Sect. It is the precious spiritual tool she has used most often over the years. It has been used by her to hold elixirs, and the effect has always been extremely good. good.
At first, she actually didn't know the material of this thing. She just thought it was an ordinary spiritual jade. Later, a knowledgeable elder revealed the matter. Ever since he figured out the true material and function of this thing, Ningxia has been using it carefully and not causing any damage to it.
Except for giving it away twice at random when she was still naive, and gave one to Yuan Heng, she had about ten left in her hand, which was just enough to hold some of all types of good elixirs. Ten is actually not enough, so Yun has already spent a lot of money on Gu Huai and these two.
Will Gu Huai say it?
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I just brought these from home for use, along with jade bottles made of various materials, so I don't know which craftsman made them. You may be disappointed." Gu Huai did not say, he frowned, as if Looking a little embarrassed.
He didn't tell the truth.
This was given to him by Ningxia. Can he answer truthfully? This person's purpose was unknown. He immediately noticed the jade bottle given by Ningxia and asked about it. It didn't look like he was just asking casually.
If the other party is coming to Ningxia, if he is exposed again, the girl's safety will be worried. He didn't want to expose the existence of Ningxia, either emotionally or rationally.
So as a compromise, he quickly lied that he got this thing from home and made up his mind to refuse to admit it. He still has some anger about this.
His demeanor was very calm, his words were extremely smooth, and he didn't even twitch his eyebrows. He looked honest.
If it had been anyone else, he might have been able to fool him, but this person was not Zhenjun Yuanheng.
When Zhenjun Yuanheng was young, he traveled all over the southeastern border, adventuring everywhere. He met many people and saw many things along the way, and there were many types of people he had never seen before. Gu Huai is still a little tender.
"Since you don't want to understand, I'll ask you another question...who gave you this jade bottle?" The other party almost didn't mention his name.
Gu Huai couldn't help but feel a bit bitter in his throat.
How could the other party know where he got this thing from and not his own? It's obviously just a white jade bottle... I don't see any special markings on it.
Gu Huai's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was going to get worse. He quickly wanted to say something and then supplement it.
"No, this thing is really..."
"Okay, let me ask you, where is the nun who gave you this thing now?"
Gu Huai, who had rehearsed many terrifying conjectures in his mind, was stunned by this direct question.
