The Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor
Treasure Pavilion (3)

Chapter 24: Treasure Pavilion (3)

The assistant ignored Ye Qingtang even though he had been standing in front of the counter for quite a while. However, he came in an instant once he saw Duan Tianrui waving his hands.

"Master Duan, how can I serve?"

Duan Tianrui pointed to the moon rock Flora displayed on the counter: "Take this out."

Assistant immediately took out the moon rock from his screen, “This Flora moon rock just arrived yesterday. I'm afraid you can't find anything else that resembles its luster in this world. ”

Duan Tianrui was pleased with his quality after a closer inspection. Not forgetting his opponent, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang.

"How much does this cost?"

The assistant replied: "Thirty thousand gold."

The price he quoted was enough “keras” to attract the attention of other customers inside the boutique.

For a moon stone the size of a pea is worth thirty thousand gold!

Heaven knew the price was not the amount a commoner could earn in a lifetime.

Even nobles may have difficulty paying such a high amount.

"Thirty thousand…. Miss Ye, are you still interested in this? ” Duan Tianrui observing Ye Qingtang. He had long since learned from Duan Tianrao, that the Great Elder had subverted all authority from Ye Ling, the head of the Ye family. So as her daughter, Ye Qingtang could be considered a "household lady" just in name. He would never be able to afford such a large sum of money now that his family's finances were controlled by the Great Elder as well.

Ye Qingtang narrowed his eyes, emitting a cold gaze.

Some of the surrounding protectors turned their eyes to the rivalry between these two households, but when they realized that Ye Qingtang was the one representing the Ye household, they shook their heads silently.

Summing up all the rumors that were circulating made everyone realize, this hostess Ye was no longer as appreciated as she once was.

How was he going to compete with Duan Tianrui?

An attendant accompanying his master was in a corner observing the jade selection as he traced his gaze towards the commotion. He was surprised by what he witnessed before telling his master in a hurry:

"Young master, this is Miss Ye!"

Si Bai put down a piece of white jade, before turning his head in the direction the attendant pointed at. From the crowd, he could tell apart that petite yet familiar figure.

"You Qingtang?"

“Young master, it looks like Miss Ye is having a fight with a member of the Duan family. Should we go and take a look? ” The waiter asked carefully.

Si Bai was in no hurry to give an answer but simply observed from a distance, at the girl standing alone with her amused eyes. He chuckled and shook his head, “That's not necessary. He's got a way to it.”

Ye Qingtang's smile was too familiar, just like when he was competing with his grandfather in the Si household, he exuded a confident and triumphant attitude.

But Si Bai did not take his eyes off, as he was curious about how he would resolve this predicament.

On the other hand, Duan Tianrui maliciously enjoyed every single one of his difficulties while playing around with the moon rocks in his hands.

He had long been dissatisfied with the engagement between Ye Qingtang and Duan Tianrao. His older brother, a female man, had to face a terrible wife like him? Thank goodness their engagement was cancelled. Without that relationship, he wouldn't have to play well with her anymore.
