Xin Lishan hid the relic of Yunhua Yi Zi. Yu Shu didn't care if he was telling the truth or not, she had to see it. So, she went along with his tone and said, "I'm not a talkative person. Why don't you take it out and let me see?"
Xin Lishan raised his eyebrows. He didn't rush to show off. Instead, he walked around the counter and closed the door of the shop. He bolted the door and returned to Yu Shu.
He stretched his hand to the back of his neck and pulled out a thin rope from his collar. There was a touch of green on it. He took off his neck and spread it out in his palm. He handed it to Yu Shu for her to see.
"Here."
Yu Shu moved closer to take a look. She saw a coin-sized jade ball in his hand. It was hollowed out and glowed. It didn't seem to be an ordinary item. What was even more strange was that there seemed to be something wrapped inside. It was dark. She couldn't tell what it was at first glance.
"What is this?" she asked in confusion.
"You don't know, right? This treasure is called 'Zhuge Tong'."
"Zhuge Tong?" She couldn't deduce anything from the words. Yu Shu raised her head suspiciously. "Then tell me, what's the use of this thing?"
"It's very useful. Do you want to know?" Xin Lishan's eyes shone with excitement.
Yu Shu nodded and cooperated with him with an expectant look. "I want to know."
Xin Lishan grinned. "I'm not telling you."
“.....”
"What are you staring at? How can I tell you such an important thing so easily? What if you covet my treasure?"
“.....”
"Why are you curling your lips? Am I not right? You don't know how to use it. Even if you take it, it's a pile of trash. I don't need to worry about your greed. Alas, how about this, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. You take it back and put it in your Fengshui Pond. Let me raise it for forty-nine days. When I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you how it works. How about that? "
Yu Shu secretly despised Xin Lishan. Xin Lishan obviously had a favor to ask of her, but he was still putting on an act. She did not want to agree to it casually, but this was related to Yun Hua, and she felt that this Zhuge Tong was very useful. So, after hesitating for a moment, she still nodded and agreed. "Alright, it's settled then. I'll help you take care of it, and you have to tell me what this thing is used for."
After saying that, she reached out to grab the emerald ball in his hand, but Xin Lishan dodged it with a wave of his hand. He glared at her and said discontentedly, "Are your hands clean? What if you break it? Wait, I'll find a box to put it in first."
Bah, how could she be so delicate!
Yu Shu criticized him in her heart. She looked at him coldly and bent down to search in the counter for a while. He took out a round box and carefully put the emerald ball in it before handing it to her.
Xin Lishan warned her worriedly, "Handle it with care, understand? Don't you dare to break it. If there's even the slightest mistake, I'll fight you to the death."
"Got it," Yu Shu answered perfunctorily. She put the box into her bosom and thought that she would take it out and study it carefully when she went back.
Yu Shu left the fan shop and returned to Wang Ji Tower with Xin Lishan's treasure. As soon as she closed the door, she couldn't wait to take the thing out and take a closer look at it.
After looking at it carefully, she finally managed to see clearly what was hidden in the hollow emerald ball.
It was a small, black bead, like a pupil, embedded in the emerald eyeball.
Yu Shu looked at the black bead of unknown material. She didn't know why, but she felt it was familiar at first, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
She thought about it for a long time, and her spirit suddenly jolted. She hurriedly put down the emerald ball and reached out her left hand. On her index finger, there was an inconspicuous silver ring. If one didn't look closely, no one would be able to tell that there was something mysterious about the ring.
Yu Shu twisted her finger twice and took off the silver ring. Below it, there was a jet-black ring on the end of her finger.
It was a gift from Qing Zheng before he left. She didn't know what to do with it, but she was careful to cover it up in case she met someone who knew it.
Yu Shu picked up the emerald ball again and raised it to the window. She squinted at the black bead hidden in it and compared it with the black ring on her hand. The more she looked at it, the more similar it seemed to be made of the same material!
This discovery made Yu Shu's heart skip a beat. Although she was sure that Yun Hua and Qing Zheng were related, there was no evidence to prove that they were master and disciple. This was great.
If Xin Lishan didn't lie to her, and this emerald ball was really Yun Hua's relic, then he would be the eldest senior in Qing Zheng's words!
What made Yu Shu even more excited was the use of this treasure called "Zhuge Eye". Looking at Xin Lishan's mysterious look, it could be imagined that he had benefited a lot from this emerald ball. Unlike her, she just remembered to wear the black ring given by Qing Zheng some time ago, and she was confused and didn't know what it was good for.
Now that she thought about it, what Qing Zheng took out would not be a simple ornament. The black bead in this emerald ball and the black ring on her hand must be treasures!
Yu Shu wanted to turn around and find Xin Lishan to ask him about it, but she knew that Xin Laowu was a profiteer who wouldn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. How could he easily explain it to her?
So she suppressed her impulse and curiosity, put on the silver ring again, turned around and took the emerald ball to the balcony on the third floor, and placed it in the Feng Chi Pond.
After forty-nine days, she would find Xin Lishan and find out the truth.
Yu Shu had a new discovery. In the morning, she came to Wangji Tower, but she didn't go home. She stayed upstairs to deduce her rule of the time of calamity, waiting for Xue Rui to come back and discuss it with him.
As she waited, it was dark again. Yu Shu heard the maid talking and knew that Xue Rui had come back from outside. So she packed up her brush and ink, washed her hands, and went downstairs to see him.
For the sake of investigating the young man who had an affair with the Tenth Princess when she was still alive, Xue Rui had been out for an entire day today. He couldn't be said to be tired, but he was absolutely worry-free. When he returned and saw Yu Shu waiting for him, he felt much more relaxed in his heart, and he felt slightly happy as well.
"Were you in the restaurant today?" he asked.
"I went to the south of the city." Yu Shu sat down opposite Xue Rui and talked about Xin Lishan.
"Brother, do you know the Fifth Master who was expelled from the Xin family more than ten years ago?"
Yu Shu knew that the Xue family and the Xin family were related by marriage, so Xue Rui should have heard about the Xin family.
As expected, Xue Rui nodded and said, "You mean Xin Lishan. I know. Why did you mention him?"
Yu Shu omitted the part where she found someone to make a peach wood fan for her. She simply told Xue Rui about how she met Xin Lishan by chance in the south of the city. In the end, she said excitedly, "Big Brother would never expect that Xin Lishan has Yun Hua's relic in his possession. It's the same thing that my master gave me back then!"
Xue Rui was surprised for a moment. He saw Yu Shu take off two rings from her fingers and hand a black ring to him.
Xue Rui had long noticed the silver ring on Yu Shu's hand. He just thought that she was a simple person and did not like gold and jade. Today, he found that there was something hidden under it.
He took the black ring and looked at it under the light. He frowned and judged, "This thing is neither copper nor iron. It is not jade. What is it?"
"I don't know," Yu Shu said gloomily, "When my master gave it to me, he only told me not to leave my hand. He didn't say what it was for."
Not only that, she took off the black ring within a few days after she got it. Fortunately, she did not lose it. She had been hiding it in the corner. It was not until she suffered a few big losses that she remembered to wear it again. So far, she had not found any use for it.
While talking, Yu Shu took Xue Rui upstairs and showed him the emerald ball at the bottom of the Feng Shui pool. She pointed at the black bead hidden in it for him to identify.
