Chapter 23: Treasure Pavilion (2)
Ye Qingtang stared at one of the reddish-white gems, roughly the size of a pinky fingernail.
It was stunning to look at, with a white and translucent luster dyed in pink.
"The Stone of the Moon Flora ..." Ye Qingtang narrowed his eyes slightly due to his presence.
Flora Moonstone is a precious gemstone filled with the aura of nature. Wearing it as an accessory increased the training efficiency for a cultivator. For women, Flora Moonstone is also revered for its effective anti-aging properties.
While Ye Qingtang was admiring the moon rocks, some tall men approached his side abruptly. One of them banged on the counter.
"I didn't expect to find Flora Moonstone here." Among the group, a dashing young man showed a moon stone.
Ye Qingtang raised his eyes from the counter when he heard the man's voice. His eyes flashed a cold look as he recognized her.
“And I also did not expect to meet you here, Miss Ye. Or should I call you my Ex-brother-in-law? ” The young man has also admitted his presence, although his greeting is full of scorn.
"Mr Tianrui." Ye Qingtang stared expressionlessly at the young man in front of him, who was clearly aggressive.
Duan Tianrui was the third young master of the Duan household, and also the younger brother of Duan Tianrao.
It was two days ago when Duan Tianrao canceled their engagement. Everyone in Duan's house would know that now, thus Duan Tianrui publicly insulted him.
"What's? Do you like this moon stone too? ” Duan Tianrui measured him from head to toe with a grin on his face, “Not bad. Flora Moonstone is truly a rare gem. You have good taste. ”
Duan Tianrui paused for a moment before he continued: "But, as a member of the Ye household, don't you think, such a precious gem should only belong to someone worthy of it?"
Ye Qingtang chuckled and asked: "Who is that?"
Others might not know who Duan Tianrui's new brother-in-law was, but there was no way Ye Qingtang would not notice it.
Clearly, it was Ye Xun.
Ye Qingtang wasn't too enthusiastic about this moon stone at first, but since it was something Ye Xun wanted, she would happily become a hindrance.
"Is that so?" Ye Qingtang smiled faintly, "But despite all that, I still like it."
Duan Tianrui narrowed his eyes as a sign of displeasure, “Nona Ye, the moonstone is known for its anti-aging properties, which is important for a woman to maintain her beauty. But someone like you…. ”
With that said, Duan Tianrui glanced at the veil on Ye Qingtang's face, "It's better not to let it all go to waste."
Although he did not mention it explicitly, his words amounted to blatant discrimination against his appalling appearance.
Ye Qingtang raised his eyebrows and replied, "But I really want this."
Duan Tianrui's face was clouded, “Nona Ye, our family can be considered an alliance. You have no spirit root to cultivate, nor an appearance to maintain. To fight over items that are clearly useless to you. Are you real?"
Ye Qingtang wanted to laugh.
“Duan Tianrui, if you are so determined to buy this for Ye Xun. Let's compete with our own assets.”
Duan Tianrui sneered and directly waved to the assistant.
Seriate....
