Chapter 12

Qin Jiao stood up abruptly and stared at the jade pendant in Old Master Qin's hand.

Qin Jiao would not have been so surprised if it was just pure spirit energy.

After all, there was spirit energy in this world.

However, she was surprised by the purity of the spirit energy in the jade pendant.

Although it was very little, Qin Jiao was very sure that the spirit energy in the jade pendant was very pure.

Generally speaking, one could cultivate as long as there was spirit energy. However, if there were too many impurities in the spirit energy, the process of absorbing it would not only be painful, but it could also lead to a very awkward situation. The cultivation level gained from extracting and purifying the spirit energy might not even be equal to the cultivation level gained from extracting the impurities.

This was why Qin Jiao had always thought that it was impossible to cultivate in this world.

On the contrary, if the spirit energy was pure enough, the faster one could absorb it, the better their cultivation level would be.

Although Qin Jiao did not know how pure the spirit energy in the jade pendant was, Qin Jiao could sense that it was pure enough to be absorbed directly.

This was why Qin Jiao was so agitated.

Everyone was shocked by Qin Jiao's sudden action.

Old Madam Yang looked at Qin Jiao's agitated expression. Although she did not know why her granddaughter was acting so strangely, she knocked on Wang Chunhua's shoulder. Old Madam Yang immediately suppressed her doubts and straightened her expression. She reached out and pulled Qin Jiao back to the chair. Then, she snatched the jade pendant from Old Master Qin's hands and stuffed it into Qin Jiao's hands.

She even muttered, "Child, you just like this flower in your grandpa's hands. It's not that valuable. Even if you sell it for four yuan, people will probably think it's too expensive. It's just that it's a pretty flower. Since you like it, how can your grandpa not be willing to give it to you?

You're always so noisy like a five or six-year-old child. Why are you so excited when you see something you like? You … you … "After she finished speaking, she was still angry.

He thumped Qin Jiao's back.

Qin Jiao rubbed the jade flower in his hand and replied, "Yes, I'm just worried that my grandfather won't be willing to part with it. Although it's not worth much, didn't you see how precious it is to my grandfather just now?" After he finished speaking, he looked up and smiled at Old Madam.

Qin Zhao and Old Master Qin looked at each other.

She knocked on the Qin Jiao's head and teased, "You're such a good boy. You're always full of nonsense. You want to take everything that's beautiful."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Since Jiaojiao likes it, then let's eat Jiaojiao. Don't talk nonsense."

"Alright, alright, alright. You guys are the only ones who love her, alright?"

Qin Zhao jested.

When Wang Chunhua saw how excited the Qin Jiao was, she thought that the flower was some kind of treasure. She didn't expect it to be a 'cheap item' that wasn't even worth three or four yuan. If she hadn't come to this city in the past, she would have thought that something that could be sold for three or four yuan was precious.

However, after five or six years of living in the Qin Family, she usually ate and drank as much as the Qin Family. She had also saved up three hundred yuan. Now, she really didn't care about this money.

If the Qin Jiao was acting like this because she thought that the flower was beautiful, Wang Chunhua really thought that she would do something like this.

The Qin Jiao was really the most vain person she had ever met.

She wasn't so bad in the past, but since she woke up, oh my god, she's become even worse.

If you said that she was vain, then so be it. Which girl of her age didn't want to be beautiful? But for the sake of being beautiful, she was even willing to wipe the face cream on her hands and neck.

That was such a precious thing. Almost no one in the countryside would be willing to buy it.

More importantly, there was only a small amount in a box. No matter how many times she did it, the box would be gone. Which girl would do that?

Every time she saw it, her heart would ache terribly.

With this incident, Wang Chunhua felt that the Qin Jiao was really willing to go to such lengths for a flower. Moreover, it was not an ordinary flower. No matter how cheap it was, it couldn't stop her from being beautiful.

Actually, Wang Chunhua felt that she was a little like how she was in the past.

However, when she thought about how her family was so rich, and how she liked these 'cheap items' all the time, Wang Chunhua felt very disgusted.

When she thought of this, Wang Chunhua couldn't help but show a look of disdain on her face.

It had to be said that when a person didn't like someone, no matter what that person did, even if it had nothing to do with her, she would still find fault with that person.

This was how Wang Chunhua felt about the Qin Jiao.

Wang Chunhua thought that no one would be able to pry into her secret thoughts. However, she didn't think about it. Among the few people present, except for her, who wasn't a shrewd person? How could she compare to them?

Old Madam Yang looked at Wang Chunhua's expression and could tell what she was thinking. She was so angry that her heart ached.

Her face also darkened.

She had long disliked Wang Chunhua. She was petty, scheming, and not clear-headed.

If not for the fact that she hadn't made any big mistakes and was related to her youngest daughter-in-law, she would have chased her away long ago.

In the Qin Jiao Family, Wang Chunhua ate and stayed in her family. She ate well, wore good clothes, and even received a salary. Now, she actually dared to despise her granddaughter.

Old Madam Yang thought of her youngest daughter-in-law, who was also worrisome. She blamed her eldest daughter-in-law for finding an excuse to outsiders that "relatives don't need to pay for help". Now, she was in a dilemma. At this moment, Old Madam Yang completely lost interest in eating.

Qin Jiao also had no appetite.

Qin Jiao casually ate two mouthfuls of rice and said to them, "I'm full. I'll go back to my room first."

In the past, Old Madam Yang and Qin Zhao would have been unwilling to see her eat so little. They would have coaxed her to eat more.

But now, both of them were in a bad mood. They could also tell that Qin Jiao was acting strangely. Therefore, they didn't say anything and waved their hands to let her go.

The moment Qin Jiao entered the room, he couldn't wait to take out the jade flower to study it.

It was indeed real!

It really contained spiritual energy.

Just as Old Madam Yang had said, other than the carving, there was nothing eye-catching about this flower.

However, when he looked at the pure spiritual energy inside, Qin Jiao felt that it was more precious than anything else.

Qin Jiao closed his eyes and quietly sensed the spiritual energy. He guided the spiritual energy into his body.

Success!

Qin Jiao felt the vitality in his body. His eyes were full of joy.

After calming down, Qin Jiao carefully looked at the jade flower again. He found that it was not as beautiful as before.

Qin Jiao calmed down and thought carefully. He guessed that this jade flower was similar to a container that could temporarily remove the impurities in the spiritual energy.

It could purify the spiritual energy in the air and store it in the container.

However, he wasn't sure if this jade flower was the only one with this ability. Or if there were other things that could play this role as well.

Qin Jiao upstairs was extremely excited. However, the atmosphere downstairs was very strange. Qin Zhao slowly put down his chopsticks. He looked at Wang Chunhua and said slowly, "Aunt Wang, how many years have you been living in my house?"

"Ah, almost six years." Wang Chunhua didn't know how to react.

"How have you been living in my house all these years?"

"Pretty good. Everyone has been very good to me."

"Compared to when you were living in the countryside?"

"Of course, the countryside can't be compared to here." Wang Chunhua didn't know why Qin Zhao asked her this question. However, looking at Qin Zhao, who was different from his usual cheerful self, Wang Chunhua didn't dare to fool him.

"You've been living here for a long time. I'm afraid you've forgotten your home in the countryside. I've never heard of anyone who can be so rude to their masters. Have you heard of anyone?"

"No, I've never heard of anyone like that."

"That's good. I don't like people like that. I also believe that you're not that kind of person, right?"

"Yes, yes, no, no, I'm not." Wang Chunhua looked at Qin Zhao's face. She didn't know why, but when she heard his words, she shivered.

That afternoon, Wang Chunhua told Old Madam Yang that she was going back to the countryside.
