Chapter 150: Lost Stone

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

These fragmented discussions not only reached Ji Yaqi’s ears but also caught the attention of a man who was seeking solitude on one side of the hall.

Ji Yaqi and Ji Jing? Lin Han suddenly became interested and looked up, immediately spotting Ji Ying’s figure.

As soon as Ji Ying entered the hall, a crowd of people surrounded him. In an occasion where socializing took precedence over charity, the Ji family, as C City’s wealthiest, was always a prominent topic. Both Ji Ying and Ji Yaqi, as representatives of the Ji family, were naturally surrounded.

In comparison, Ji Jing, whose identity was still unclear to most people, appeared much more isolated.

Lin Han’s gaze fell on the figure walking alone towards a corner.

Wait a minute.

Is that… Daoist Zizhu? Lin Han raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although Ji Jing had changed into a different dress, her unique aura made him recognize her at first glance.

“Do you also know Ji Jing?” a companion asked the man.

“Also?” Lin Han smirked playfully. “What do you mean by ‘also!?”

“Last time, she resolved the issue at my family’s KTV,” Song Chao explained. “Didn’t I tell you?”

He and Lin Han had known each other for a long time, but they had both been busy recently and hadn’t met much. It was unexpected that they had both encountered Ji Jing.

Lin Han shook his head. “I only heard that you found someone from the Taoist

Association; I didn’t know it was Daoist Zizhu. She’s from Lingyun Mountain

Daoist Temple, and my grandfather goes there to pay respects every year.”

“It’s quite a coincidence. After trying so many people, I didn’t get any results. She came and solved it immediately. She’s genuinely talented. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you knew her? I wouldn’t have taken so many detours,” Song Chao complained, half-jokingly.

“I only met her recently. Now that I think about it, it was right around the time when the Ji family found their daughter,” Lin Han pondered. No wonder he had sent a message to Lingyun Temple not long ago, and Ji Jing had come to C City. “Come on, let’s go say hello. I also want to ask Daoist Zizhu if she has any more calming talismans to sell. Everyone at my store says they work well,” Song Chao said as he stood up.

He was serious about this request. Initially, to quickly calm the people at his store, he had distributed all the calming incense and talismans. But once his employees started raving about how effective they were, he regretted not keeping a few for himself.

A few for himself, some for the older people at home who had trouble sleeping due to stress, and some for the younger generation. There were quite a few to count. Seeing Ji Jing again, Song Chao decided he needed to buy more this time.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, Ji Jing had finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending Ji Ying and Ji Yaqi away.

Ji Ying had been acting strangely lately, showing her more kindness, but also talking more.

Ji Yaqi was even more troublesome. Ever since Ji Jing had noticed her strange and unfriendly words last time, she could easily see through the hostility hidden in Ji Yaqi’s words. Ji Jing didn’t want to waste time clashing with Ji Yaqi, so the farther she stayed from her, the better.

Ji Jing didn’t pay attention to the occasional glances that fell on her or listen to what others were discussing. She sat comfortably on a couch in the corner and started flipping through the nearby promotional booklet.

The booklet was provided by the organizers to introduce the charity project and auction items for this event.

Hmm? Ji Jing focused her attention when she reached a page that caught her interest. It was a good opportunity to see what kind of items were up for auction, and if she could figure out what she needed to bid on in advance.

On the first page, there was a new abstract painting by a young artist from a certain family. Ji Jing didn’t have much of an artistic sensibility and couldn’t appreciate it. However, it had a starting bid of 2 million, which was quite expensive for art.

On the second page, there was a jade bracelet, but the quality was average, and its importance lay in its symbolism.

On the third page…

Ji Jing continued flipping through several pages and realized that, as Ji Ying had mentioned, the auction items were primarily symbolic gestures of charity.

As she was about to finish flipping through the booklet, she still hadn’t found any special auction item.

Frowning slightly, Ji Jing began to wonder if she had misunderstood Mingze’s message. Perhaps he was referring to the evening banquet before the auction?

Just as Ji Jing was about to give up, she turned to the thirty-seventh page and found a Rain Flower Stone donated by Lin Ge. It was perfectly round, with exquisite and unique patterns, and the auction price was marked at 100,000.

Ji Jing stared at the picture in the promotional booklet and was momentarily stunned. This…. a relic?
