56 Meeting In the Ghost Market

At this moment, at the stone gambling stall, the uncle from before let out a cry before laughing hysterically.

Gu Man looked over and saw the uncle kneeling while crying, as if he had gone crazy.

The uncle saw Gu Man from the corner of his eye and quickly came over to thank her incoherently. “Thank you, little girl. I gambled correctly. Oh, no, you gambled correctly. I knew that you and my daughter were fated. My daughter is saved now. Look!” With that, he raised the reddish-brown stone in front of Gu Man.

Gu Man looked carefully. Under the reddish-brown surface of the stone was an extremely beautiful bean-green jade.

He had won the stone gambling bet!

Gu Man was sincerely happy for the uncle. “Congratulations.”

Xiang Yin glanced at Gu Man and saw that although she looked relieved, she was not too surprised, as if she had expected this stone to win.

Xiang Yin was surprised. Could it be that Gu Man had already seen that the stone had jade underneath, that’s why she chose it for that man?

At this moment, he actually believed that Gu Man had this ability and it was not because of luck.

Xiang Yin saw that the uncle was agitated. He moved slightly in front of Gu Man and blocked the uncle.

Bai Yun quickly pulled the uncle over and said in a low voice, “You still dare to make such a big deal out of this treasure in the ghost market. Do you want to provoke something to pester you?”

This reminder woke the uncle up instantly.

There were all kinds of people in a place like the ghost market. With such a jade in hand, one could easily attract trouble.

This was why the people who came here were all sneaky. Although some of the things they traded were shady, it was also partly because the environment here was too complicated. They had to keep a low profile.

In the blink of an eye, the uncle quietly blended into the crowd and disappeared from the ghost market.

Bai Yun asked, “Shall we continue shopping?”

Xiang Yin looked at Gu Man. “Let’s go back. You can come with us in our car.”

Gu Man thought for a moment and nodded.

She actually wanted to refuse, but when she thought about how it was in the middle of the night and how difficult it was to get a taxi, she agreed.

In the car, Xiang Yin said in a low voice, “The ghost market is too chaotic. Don’t come alone next time. If you really want to go, call us.”

Gu Man looked up and saw Xiang Yin’s slight worry.

She could feel his sincere concern, but… why did he care so much about her?

After a long while, she agreed softly.

Then, she thought about it and decided to tell Xiang Yin about this. Although tonight’s operation could not be considered fruitful, it also let her know that it was too difficult to find the relic by relying on her own ability. She needed someone to help.

“I’m looking for the Gold Sarira from the North Country’s Gold Water Mountain in the ghost market. I’m sorry, I can’t say why I’m looking for it,” Gu Man said.

Xiang Yin frowned. “This thing is very precious and extremely difficult to find.” More importantly, even if she found it, it would be an astronomical price. According to Gu Man’s awkward status in the Gu family, she could not afford it.

“I know, but I need it,” Gu Man said firmly.

Seeing that Gu Man was so determined, Xiang Yin did not say anything else to dampen her spirits. “If you want to go to the ghost market next time, tell us. We also have something we need to find in the ghost market. We can be companions.”

“Okay.” Gu Man nodded and did not ask them further. Instead, she chose to silently support them.

“When you go back, you might wake your family up. Have you thought of an explanation?” Xiang Yin asked worriedly.

“It’ll be fine.” Gu Man knew that it would be the same whether she explained it or not.

When Xiang Yin heard this, he recalled the information about the Gu family that Bai Yun had found a few days ago. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he couldn’t say anything.

Gu Man got out of the car and waited for Xiang Yin’s car to leave before climbing over the wall and into the room.

No one in the Gu family left the door open for her.

They would not call to ask even if she returned late.

Gu Man’s heart ached. Gu Man knew that it was the original owner’s emotions.

The Gu family was her true home, but it did not really accommodate her.

“We can’t find what we’re looking for after so long. Is it not in the ghost market?” Bai Yun asked Xiang Yin, who was sitting in the backseat, as he drove.
