Chapter 13

At night, Qin Jiao sat on his bed and meditated. He leaned against the jade flower on the table and focused on sensing the spiritual energy in the air. Then, he patiently guided them into the jade flower. After an unknown period of time, Qin Jiao felt weak all over. However, when he sensed the pure spiritual energy in the jade flower, Qin Jiao's heart trembled.

He actually succeeded!

However, there was too little spiritual energy. If he could only store so little each time, it would be troublesome.

Qin Jiao frowned as he thought to himself.

After absorbing the spiritual energy in the jade flower into his body, Qin Jiao lay on his bed and thought that he had to look for other things that could purify spiritual energy like the jade flower.

Since the jade flower was made of jade, he would start looking for jade artifacts.

The warm sunshine of the early morning arrived on this cold winter day as promised.

When Qin Zhao woke up, he found that his younger sister was already sitting at the dining table.

When Qin Jiao heard the noise, he looked up and smiled at Qin Zhao. He asked politely, "Qin Zhao, do you have anything going on today?"

"What's wrong? Why are you so obedient today? You even know how to ask about me?" Qin Zhao was flattered.

"Hehe, I have something to ask of you ~"

"Heh, I knew it ~ Tell me, let your brother know what your eldest daughter wants." Qin Zhao teased Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao got up and pulled Qin Zhao to the sofa in the living room. He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Do you know where I can buy jade artifacts?"

"What do you want to do with them? They're not allowed to do that on the surface."

Hearing Qin Jiao's words, Qin Zhao asked in surprise. Then, he wondered if it had something to do with the jade flower from yesterday afternoon.

Qin Jiao thought about it carefully for a long time last night. He felt that it was better to let his family find out more about this.

Otherwise, with her current ability, she wouldn't be able to get those jade artifacts. Moreover, she was with her family all the time. How could she keep it a secret?

After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to reveal it from the beginning. That way, they could accept it.

If she couldn't accept it, she could leave. Once her cultivation recovered, all of this wouldn't be a problem anymore.

However, he couldn't reveal everything. He had to find a reasonable explanation.

"I found something, but I'm not sure yet. I need to prove it," Qin Jiao explained.

"Does it have something to do with the jade wares you want to buy?" Qin Zhao didn't expect Qin Jiao to give such an explanation.

"Yes, but I'm not sure yet. I need to verify it again. I'll tell you the details then."

"Okay, but you have to ensure your own safety." Qin Zhao stared into Qin Jiao's eyes and reminded him.

"Okay, I'll definitely protect myself," Qin Jiao answered seriously.

Qin Zhao knew that Qin Jiao would definitely keep his promise.

Therefore, he stopped asking questions and started thinking about Qin Jiao's request.

If they wanted to buy jade wares … Now that the situation was tense, no one would sell jade wares. If they wanted to find jade wares, they could only try their luck in the black market.

"If you want to buy jade wares, we can only try our luck in the black market. But there are always inspectors there. We have to get it done quickly." Qin Zhao thought for a while and told Qin Jiao.

"Black market? What kind of place is that? Why are there inspectors?" It was Qin Jiao's first time hearing about this place.

"The black market is a place where some people have money but don't have a ticket. Some people do some illegal business in private.

Most of the people there buy and sell food.

Some people have no choice but to sell some of their belongings.

In short, there are all kinds of things in the black market, but you can only find them by luck. They are very secretive. After all, it's not a big deal if they are caught and confiscated. What if they are punished or sentenced? "Qin Zhao explained briefly to Qin Jiao.

"Do you know where they are?" Qin Jiao didn't care about those people's business. He still grasped the key point and asked.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao looked at Qin Jiao vigilantly.

"Shall we go and have a look after dinner?"

"Little ancestor, it's not that simple. How can such a dangerous thing be done so openly? Let alone during the day."

"When will it be?" Qin Jiao asked again.

"Are you in such a hurry?

Is this thing so important? "

"It's very urgent. It's very important." Qin Jiao looked at Qin Zhao and said seriously.

Seeing Qin Jiao's serious expression, Qin Zhao also became serious. He thought for a while and said, "I'll take you there at 10 PM."

"Okay. How much money do you need?" Qin Jiao didn't know the price of jade wares here, so he asked Qin Zhao.

"Come on. How much money can a poor woman like you have? You don't need to bring money."

Qin Zhao only thought about how much money his sister could have because she always stayed at home. However, he didn't know that his grandmother and mother had secretly given money to his sister several times. Qin Jiao didn't have much money to spend, so after a few times, the money was quite a lot.

"I have money. I have money." Qin Jiao retorted.

"Okay, okay. You have money. You have money. You have the most money. You can take as much as you want." Qin Zhao didn't take her seriously and teased her.

Qin Jiao didn't argue with him. He glanced at him and turned back to the table.

"Hey!

So after using your brother, you're ignoring me? Besides, we haven't used up all the money yet. Be careful, I won't take you there tonight ~ "Qin Zhao chased after her. He put his right hand on Qin Jiao's chair, bent down, and threatened her in a low voice.

"Oh ~ Then I'll ask Dad to bring me there." Little guy, you think I can't deal with you? Qin Jiao looked at Qin Zhao's smug face and pretended to be nonchalant.

"I'm just messing with you. Why did you take it seriously? Look at you. You can't take a joke at all."

"Haha ~" Qin Jiao only responded with two words.

Qin Zhao felt depressed. He couldn't even deal with this little rascal once. Sigh. Why is this little rascal getting more and more powerful?

Finally, it was 10 pm. Qin Jiao immediately sneaked into Qin Zhao's room and urged him. "Hurry up. It's time. Let's go."

"Okay ~ Little ancestor, I've never seen you so active before. You're always so sleepy and lazy. Why are you so active today?" Qin Jiao didn't forget to tease her as he packed up.

Qin Jiao couldn't be bothered with him.

When Qin Zhao saw that Qin Jiao was ignoring him, he didn't tease her anymore and picked up the pace of packing.

"Okay, let's go, little ancestor."

Qin Zhao pushed Qin Jiao's shoulder and walked out.

At this time, Qin Weimin and the others had already gone to bed.

Qin Zhao asked Qin Jiao to wait at the door. He turned and went into Old Master Qin's room.

When he came out again, he was holding Old Master Qin's military coat and Old Lady Qin was following behind him.

"Grandma, why are you awake?" Qin Jiao went up and asked in a low voice.

"Your little rascal brother made such a big commotion. Only your grandpa wouldn't wake up."

Then, he said, "Come back as soon as you're done. Cover yourselves tightly. The night is so cold, it's not a joke." He turned around and instructed Qin Zhao, "Take good care of your sister, or I'll whip you when you come back." "When you come back, explain to me clearly."

"Okay, okay. Old Madam, hurry up and go to sleep. It's not a big deal. I promise to take good care of our little ancestor. Don't worry."

"I'll send you two out."

"No need. Grandma, hurry back to your room.

Don't catch a cold. "Qin Jiao was worried that Old Madam Qin would catch a cold.

"Let's go, let's go. Hurry up." The old lady urged the two of them and walked them to the door.

After Old Madam Fu wrapped the Qin Jiao tightly and sent them out, she reminded them, "Be careful and come back early."

"Got it. You should go back to sleep as well," Qin Jiao replied in a muffled voice from under the scarf.

Qin Zhao hurriedly rode away. He was really afraid that these two people would give him a one-get-three-free deal again.

After riding for about half an hour, Qin Jiao saw Qin Zhao turn into an alley and stop in front of a small shop.

Qin Jiao jumped out of the car and asked Qin Zhao, "Have we arrived?"

"Okay." After that, Qin Zhao stepped forward and put the back of his fingers on the door. He knocked twice, then three times. After about four times, the door was gently opened from the inside.

Qin Jiao guessed that this was probably some kind of secret signal.

A middle-aged man poked his head out of the shop. When he saw Qin Zhao, he immediately opened the door and asked, "Why haven't you been here for so long? I left you a lot of 'good stuff'."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiao knew that Qin Zhao used to come here often.

Qin Zhao said indifferently, "I've been busy recently, so I don't have much time.

I'm here today for something else. Where's Grandpa Sha? "His attitude was not as enthusiastic as the middle-aged man.

"My dad is' looking at the goods' in the house. Who is this?" Sha Liang looked at Qin Jiao, who was wrapped up tightly and only his eyes could be seen.
