Thinking of Chu Lingling out there, Murong Xue felt much better and smiled, "Yes. I saw your sister outside just now." She wondered why they did not get along at all and did not look alike, either.

Surprised, Chu Yisen looked at her to make sure she was fine, "Are you okay? She is spoiled and bad-tempered. Just ignore her."

"Aha, I'm alright. Speaking of this, shouldn’t you care about your sister first, Yisen?" Murong Xue raised a smile that dazzled people around, and Chu Yisen was no exception.

Chu Yisen calmed himself down and spoke in an unsympathetic tone, "She is my half-sister. We haven't been in contacted with each other much. Anyway, if she goes after you again, call me. Okay?" He knew that Chu Lingling would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and she would not let Murong Xue get away with it.

Seeing this, Ye Feng stepped forward to stand between Chu Yisen and Murong Xue and replied coldly, "We will protect Princess from anything and it doesn't need to bother Mr. Chu." Why this man was throwing himself at Murong Xue all day long? If Shangguan Mo knew about this, Ye Feng would be punished. Ye Feng, the mercenary captain, was busy getting rid of Murong Xue's potential lovers.

"Princess?" Chu Yisen was astonished and turned to look at Murong Xue for some explanation.

Murong Xue felt a twitch in her face as she really hated this title, "Don't listen to him. I'm Shangguan Mo's girlfriend, so..." She flashed a warning look at Ye Feng and gave Chu Yisen an embarrassed smile.

But Ye Feng did not care about how Murong Xue glared at him, because he had to get her rid of this man anyway.

For Chu Yisen, this news had just blown his mind. How could it be? He even did not get started yet. He had wanted to wait for the young girl to grow up and understand better about love. Had he known it would end up like this, he should have made the first move instead of waiting. "Xue, do you..." Chu Yisen wanted to ask whether she loved Shangguan Mo or not, but the words would not come. He was afraid of hearing her answer and he was more unwilling to find out the answer was not the one he had expected.

Murong Xue was confused about what happened to Chu Yisen. Although they were in close contact, it was Chu Yisen who invited himself to dinner. And she only helped dress his wounds most of the time. He was more like a brother to her. Murong Xue mistook Chu Yisen's shocked face as that he found she had a boyfriend at such a young age. "Huh, Yisen, how about introducing him to you someday later?" She thought the two who were both in the capital might have met before.

Chu Yisen did not care to meet Shangguan Mo, but he thought it was necessary to find out what Shangguan Mo's intention was. Otherwise, he was afraid that she was so innocent that she would get fooled and end up heartbroken. "Well, how about we three get together while you are in the capital?"

Murong Xue did not expect that Chu Yisen would agree, and she was not sure about Shangguan Mo's schedule. She decided to ask him later, "No problem. I'll call you when the date is set."

Chu Yisen felt a twist in his heart as he saw Murong Xue's plain reaction. Maybe he had a wrong guess. Perhaps she was with him for love rather than being forced to. Thinking of this, Chu Yisen forced a smile and changed the topic, "Xue, you know about the raw materials?"

"Just a little. I'm just having a look and going to purchase some." Murong Xue answered humbly. Although she had crammed much knowledge about stone gambling and raw materials, what she could really rely on was her perspective function.

"Hello, Miss Murong. I didn't expect to meet you here." A man who had attended the stone gambling assembly held in A province came over to greet her. He found this girl very familiar and now he recognized who she was after a lot of thinking.

This man named Lin Fangzheng was the one in charge of the Lin Family, one of this event's hosts. Lin Fangzheng was also there when the imperial jade was taken out from the raw material, and he was impressed by her poker face. As everyone present was caught by surprise, this nineteen-year-old girl looked like she had already known the result.

He had thought it was just dumb luck, but her expression aroused his suspicion. Later he kept an eye on her and wanted to make friends with her after other jade dealers mentioned that she had obtained the imperial jade for the second time. However, he did not find a chance to do it as Shangguan Mo was by her side all the time.

Because of having met Shangguan Mo before, Lin Fangzheng recognized him. He was quite astonished that such a big shot was with Murong Xue, and he could not help seizing up the Murong Family again.

Was he Lin Fangzheng from that Lin Family? Murong Xue was curious why he came to her, "Uncle Lin, nice to see you. And thank you for inviting me." Murong Xue felt she had to be respectful since Lin Fangzheng was of her father's generation.

"You've earned it yourself. Your father must be very proud of you for being skillful at stone gambling at such a young age. Marvelous." Although Lin Fangzheng was praising her, he looked into her for what reaction she would make.

Murong Xue was taken aback by his words. The Rise Group was still in early development, and it could not take any hit now. So she pretended to be calm and replied, "Oh, I'm very embarrassed by the tile others gave me. I'm just lucky."

Was she just lucky? Lin Fangzheng thought so at first, but it was quite a coincidence to hit the jackpot twice. Would the Murong Family step into the jade business? The newly emerging Baoyu Pavilion could catch up with the Lin Family's Blessing Stone House soon, and it should not be underestimated. Precautions were necessary. Lin Fangzheng decided to take a wait-and-see attitude for now and he took out his business card, "Miss Murong, this is my business card. If you have jade to sell sometime in the future, please contact me. The price is negotiable." He liked the imperial jade too, but Shangguan Mo had his eyes on it.

Murong Xue took over the card and smiled, "Sure, Uncle Lin."

Then Lin Fangzheng took his leave. With so many influential people here, he could not spend much time on a little girl.

Standing by in silence, Chu Yisen had figured out from the conversation that Murong Xue knew the business of raw materials well, "Xue, let's go see some raw materials."

"Okay." She was also about to say the same. After all, she came here today for jade.

No one could complain about the quality of the raw materials here, and there was even much potential high-grade jade. Murong Xue held back her excitement and started to pick the raw materials.

Chu Yisen also changed his playful attitude and concentrated on checking the raw materials in a booth a few meters away. As the eldest son of the Chu Family, he had to take care of things for his family after coming back, and he was here on a mission.

Suddenly, Murong Xue discovered a stone that gave off purple light and tried to reach for it, but someone was faster than her. Surprised, she turned and saw a man about 22 years old, and she vaguely felt that his beautiful and curvy face had something in common with Shangguan Mo's. The difference was that the man in front of her had very beautiful purple eyes and he looked like the prince in the comics and animation.

The man smiled in a way that lighted up the world and handed it to her, "You like purple? Here you are."

Murong Xue was shocked by his words. Did he also know what was inside the raw materials? She was stunned and stared at him, motionless.

"Oh, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you like this one? Hello?" Shangguan Lin's smile grew wider and wider as he saw Murong Xue freeze in front of him. She was shocked.

His smiling face made her blush. Murong Xue shook her head, "Thanks, but no. I just wanted to have a look. But what did you mean by purple?" She put on an innocent face and asked. She would never reveal the secret of her perspective function easily whether others were the same or not. Besides, "First come, first serve" was the rule in this business, unless the other one volunteered to give up.

Was she just having a look? He had been watching her for a while, at first because she was with Shangguan Mo, who never let any woman get near him before. But then he found it very intriguing when he realized that every piece she had observed had jade in it.

He was different from others in his eyes since birth, and he could see the jades’ spiritual qi inside the raw materials. Although he was unsure about the size, it was really something that he could find out whether there was jade inside or not. Therefore, he was amazed when he saw the way Murong Xue observed the raw materials. He did not expect to see someone who could do it as well.

And somehow, Shangguan Lin, who did not tell his family about his eyes, wanted to share it with her. Maybe it was that he could identify with her.

Sadly, she did not think the same and played dumb. It was not a big deal since he knew about it now, and he could understand why she was doing this because he had the same reason.

When he saw Ye Feng, Shangguan Mo's most outstanding man, fixing his eyes on him, he suddenly became interested in this play, "Hi, I'm Shangguan Lin. May I be friends with you?"

"Shangguan Lin? Do you know Shangguan Mo?" Murong Xue asked.

"I'm his younger brother." What he did not say was that Shangguan Mo and he did not get along well.

"Oh, I'm Murong Xue. Happy to meet you." Murong Xue did not expect to see Shangguan Mo's brother here. More importantly, this brother also had the perspective function, and she began to wonder if Shangguan Mo had it or not.

Birds of a feather flocked together. Shangguan Lin wondered why such a woman was not by his side since they were the same kind, "I know you. Can I call you Xue? Is that how my brother calls you?"

"Sure, as you like it." She did not care about the way others called her.

"Well, you take your time, and I want to go over there to look around." Murong Xue instinctively felt that he was very dangerous and she made an excuse to avoid staying longer with him.

But she had squatted for a long time. So when she suddenly got up, she felt light in the head and lost her balance, falling to the ground.

Ye Feng went forward to catch her, but Shangguan Lin was one step ahead. He threw his arms around Murong Xue, and their bodies were against each other. Different from Shangguan Mo, Shangguan Lin had the smell of the mint fragrance, which was very comforting.

Shangguan Lin let go of his hands at once after Murong Xue gained her balance, "Sorry. No offense. Are you okay?"

Shangguan Lin's polite and decent behavior made him more favorable to Murong Xue, and she responded, "I'm all right. Thank you. I should go now." She meant it now when she smiled at him.

Shangguan Lin nodded and smiled back, just seeing her off. It was better to let her guard down now and he could take his time, which was similar to his attitude towards the Shangguan Family. Watching them being panic and struggling was great excitement to him.

Ye Feng followed Murong Xue away and missed the strange look on Shangguan Lin's face. If not, he would have been alerted. Although Shangguan Lin seemed very kind and had deceived many seniors in the family, Ye Feng had learned how spiteful Shangguan Lin could be as he was in the service of Shangguan Mo, who would have been long dead in Shangguan Lin's numerous ambushes but for thorough precautions.

Ye Feng had a bad feeling when Shangguan Lin deliberately approached Murong Xue, and he felt he must report it to Shangguan Mo.

Murong Xue gave out a sigh of relief when she was finally alone, but then she remembered that she forgot to inform Chu Yisen. So she gave him a call and told him that she was looking around on the other side and he did not need to worry about her. She hung up after a few more words.

Without anyone bothering her, Murong Xue devoted herself to the raw materials, and she also checked those without jade inside this time. As for Ye Feng's constant reports to Shangguan Mo, Murong Xue had given up on her freedom.

Murong Xue bought a few pieces of high-grade jade of glassy species together with some jade-less and put them into her locker in the exhibition hall. Personal lockers were prepared for each guest attending this event and each locker could be opened with only one key together with the guest's fingerprint.

Murong Xue was not in a hurry as this event would last for a month and she wanted to take a break after feeling tired because of the previous shock. Passing over the lunch, she entered the guest room with extra charge in the hall, which was reserved in advance by Shangguan Mo.

Murong Xue went upstairs directly with her room key, ready to have a rest, while Ye Feng was guarding outside the door. She had told him to take a break, but he insisted that it was his duty. Murong Xue just went with it.

She took a shower, changed into a robe, and fell straight into bed. She was unable to enter the Space recently as she was surrounded by others 24 hours a day, which made it much more troublesome. She didn’t dare to enter the Space at will, either, because she could not afford to be exposed to it now.

Murong Xue felt exhausted more often this life. It seemed that she always had things to do, one after one, which left her no chance to catch her breath.

Soon Murong Xue fell asleep. After some while, someone crawled into the bed, but she was unconscious of this.
