"What about your other brothers and sisters? Will they become the bargaining chip of the Sun Family's interests? "Lin Yi asked …
"I … have no father or mother. If someone needs to be sacrificed, naturally, I will be the first to be sacrificed …" Sun Jingyi smiled bitterly. "Moreover, I am relatively powerful among the cultivators of this generation. I have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the first level. It is just in line with the conditions for other families to marry the Sun Family, so …"
"Your parents … I heard from Sun Yikai …" When Lin Yi said this, he paused and didn't continue. This topic was just casually mentioned by Lin Yi because of Sun Jingyi's words. But after saying it, he regretted it a little. After all, this was someone else's sad past. It was a bit abrupt for Lin Yi to mention it.
"They're all gone now, it's fine, I'm used to it … …" Jingyi smiled bitterly. "I was too young back then, I didn't even get to see my parents … The only thing I know is this little jade pendant they left me … …" Lin Yi said. "But I was too young back then.
As Sun Jingyi said this, she took off the small jade pendant on her chest and rubbed it in her hand. It could be seen that she cherished this jade pendant very much.
"Pure topaz!" Seeing Sun Jingyi's jade pendant, Lin Yi's eyes slightly focused. He didn't expect that the jade pendant on Sun Jingyi's chest was actually pure topaz! It was one of the materials he needed to refine the jade pendant space!
"Pure topaz? You know it? " Sun Jingyi saw Lin Yi's excited expression and suddenly froze. Even if the material of this jade pendant was precious, it seemed that Lin Yi wouldn't be so surprised, right?
"Can I have a look?" asked Lin Yi.
"Of course!" Sun Jingyi nodded and handed the jade pendant to Lin Yi.
"It really is pure topaz." Lin Yi looked at the pure yellow jade pendant in his hand and took a deep breath. Although he really wanted to keep it for himself, he also knew that this was the only thing Sun Jingyi's parents had left for her. Even if he needed it, he would be too embarrassed to ask Sun Jingyi for it.
However, Lin Yi was still very fond of the jade pendant in front of him.
"You seem to like this jade pendant?" Sun Jingyi saw the possessiveness in Lin Yi's eyes and was very surprised. Lin Yi did not lack money. Although this pure topaz was rare, it was not a priceless treasure. In the eyes of these big families and cultivators, it was nothing!
Perhaps this pure topaz could be sold for a good price at the auction, but in the eyes of the Sun Family and Old Man Sun, it was just a good accessory. These people didn't even covet it.
"En." Lin Yi nodded and didn't hide it. "To tell you the truth, I need pure topaz to refine something. This pure topaz, if it wasn't something your parents left for you, I would definitely ask you for it."
"Ah!" Sun Jingyi didn't expect Lin Yi to need pure topaz. Although she wanted to help Lin Yi, she thought that this jade pendant was the only thing left for her by her parents. If she wanted to find clues about her parents, she could only use this jade pendant. Therefore, Sun Jingyi really couldn't give it to Lin Yi. "I'm sorry … I want to find news of my parents through this jade pendant one day, so …"
"Heh, I understand, that's why I said that." Lin Yi picked up the pure topaz and prepared to return it to Sun Jingyi. Although there was still a trace of reluctance, Lin Yi could still pick it up and put it down. However, when Lin Yi just wanted to return the jade pendant to Sun Jingyi, he couldn't help but let out an "eh" sound!
"What's wrong?" Sun Jingyi didn't understand why Lin Yi was suddenly surprised.
"This jade pendant …" Lin Yi was in desperate need of pure topaz, so he checked it more carefully. Just when he wanted to return it to Sun Jingyi, he suddenly found that there was a very small crack on this jade pendant!
If it weren't for Lin Yi's sharp eyes and the direction of the light, it would be absolutely difficult to find it!
"What's wrong?" Sun Jingyi looked at Lin Yi's strange face and asked quickly.
"This jade pendant seems to be two halves put together?" Lin Yi put the jade pendant in front of his eyes and carefully observed it for a long time before saying so.
"Put together?" Sun Jingyi was slightly stunned. She quickly moved her head over and followed Lin Yi's gaze to the jade pendant. She couldn't help but exclaim because, on this jade pendant, there was indeed a small line. This line wasn't irregular, but it was straight, as if it was cut and then pasted back together …
Sun Jingyi looked at the crack on the jade pendant in surprise. She even forgot her current position, and her face was close to Lin Yi's. It was a little ambiguous …
"It seems that it was really cut and then pieced back together, but it was done very carefully. It's not obvious. If I didn't desperately need pure topaz, I probably wouldn't be able to see it so carefully." Lin Yi said. This crack couldn't be seen without looking at it carefully against the light.
This discovery surprised Sun Jingyi. It could be said that she grew up wearing this jade pendant. Although she often played with it, she didn't find the crack on this jade pendant. In Sun Jingyi's eyes, this should be a keepsake, so she didn't think that this jade pendant was two pieces stuck together …
"Then … why did he do this? Could it be that this jade pendant was broken before and repaired? "Sun Jingyi also looked at the jade pendant in Lin Yi's hand strangely.
"I don't know, but the possibility of natural damage is relatively small. Even if this jade pendant is broken, it is impossible to fall into such a neat two halves. Moreover, this crack is in the middle of the side of the jade pendant. How powerful is this to have such an effect?" Lin Yi shook his head and denied Sun Jingyi's guess.
"So you're saying that it's man-made?" Jingyi asked.
"It's very likely, but I don't know why it was done." Lin Yi said, "But I have a speculation …"
"What speculation!?" Sun Jingyi asked anxiously. It was related to the news of her parents. She was naturally very anxious.
"If I guessed correctly, there should be something in this jade pendant!" Lin Yi said, "This jade pendant was cut by a superb method, and then repaired together. Maybe something was placed in this jade pendant …"
"Ah! So, there may be something left for me by my parents? "Sun Jingyi listened to Lin Yi's words and suddenly became a little excited …
"Of course, this is just my speculation." Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "Moreover, this jade pendant is broken. Obviously, it is not easy to repair … But, I really don't want your pure topaz …"
Lin Yi's words caused Sun Jingyi to roll her eyes. "Of course, I know you don't. If you explain like this, it seems like you are exposing yourself!"!!!
