Chapter 18
Longevity Jade
Mrs. Li echoed respectfully.
The Li family’s head knew that Jian Xing’er liked peace and quiet, so he chased most of the people in the villa away and only left behind enough servants to serve Jian Xing’er.
Doctor Lu and the medical team stayed behind to help Jian Xing’er.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
At this moment, Old Master Li had completely recovered. Not only had he recovered, but he also seemed to be healthier than before.
On this day, Jian Xing’er planned to return to Sea City.
After dinner, Jian Xing’er was about to bid farewell to the Li family’s head.
However, before she could speak, the Li family’s head mentioned that the Zhang family was holding a charity banquet in Sea City.
The Li family’s patriarch said, “The charity banquet has been prepared and there will be an auction in three days.”
“Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, if the Zhang family wanted to blame us, our family wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
When Jian Xing’er heard this, she asked curiously, “Which Zhang family?”
The Li family’s patriarch immediately said, “The Zhang family from the capital. The patriarch is Saint Zhang.”
When she heard that it was the Zhang family, Jian Xing’er froze for a moment before she became amused.
She had not seen that old fellow for a few years, so she wondered how he was doing now.
The Li family’s patriarch knew very well that although Saint Zhang was very famous and powerful, he still had to call Jian Xing’er his master.
Jian Xing’er was the real powerhouse.
Figures like Jian Xing’er and Saint Zhang were out of the Li family’s league.
It was a miracle and a great honor for the Li family to be able to invite Jian Xing’er this time.
The Li family’s patriarch said, “There are many treasures at this charity banquet. If you like anything, just tell me. I’ll arrange it immediately!”
As he spoke, the Li family’s patriarch took out the list of items and handed it to Jian Xing’er respectfully.
The Li family’s patriarch meant well and it was unsuitable for Jian Xing’er to refuse, so she took a few casual glances.
Jian Xing’er wasn’t interested in these things.
However, when she saw the jade pendant, she was stunned.
Jian Xing’er had heard her master mention this jade pendant before, but she didn’t expect it to appear here.
This jade pendant was called the Longevity Jade.
The jade pendant would emit some kind of chemical that could slow down the aging of cells in the human body. Even modern medicine couldn’t do that.
To put it simply, wearing this jade pendant for a long time could extend one’s lifespan. It was a rare treasure.
This jade pendant was priceless.
When Jian Xing’er saw the price, she was amused. The starting bid was 100,000.
From the price, it was obvious that no one knew the value of this jade pendant.
Jian Xing’er planned to get her hands on the jade pendant.
Jian Xing’er quickly saw a few more treasures.
The price of these treasures was very low, but their true value couldn’t be measured with money.
Jian Xing’er said directly, “I’m interested in this auction, so I’ll go take a look.”
The Li family’s patriarch immediately said excitedly, “Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Although it wasn’t a big deal, he could use it to build a good relationship with Jian Xing’er.
If he had a good relationship with someone like Jian Xing’er, there would naturally be many benefits.
Then, Jian Xing’er talked about returning to Sea City.
The Li family’s head immediately asked someone to prepare a private jet, but Jian Xing’er refused.
Jian Xing’er liked to keep a low profile.
At the bus stop, Jian Xing’er bought a ticket and took a bus back to Sea City.
Jian Xing’er was caught up in traffic on her way home.
It only took ten minutes to walk home. Jian Xing’er didn’t want to wait, so she got out of the car.
As she passed an alley, a man sprinted in her direction.
The man was handsome and well-dressed, but his expression was cold. He didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
The man ran very quickly. He was clearly escaping.
Soon, a man in black chased after him. The man in black had a cold expression and exuded killing intent.
Jian Xing’er ignored them and continued walking forward.
The man in black quickly caught up with the fleeing man and stabbed at him with the dagger in his hand.
The man was unwilling to give up.
When the dagger was about to stab him, a silver needle flew over and knocked the dagger out of the man’s hand.
The man in black looked at Jian Xing’er coldly and said through gritted teeth, “You’re tempting fate!”
Jian Xing’er ignored the man in black and looked at the spider tattoo on his neck.
Jian Xing’er had seen this tattoo before.
This was the symbol of an assassin organization in the country. All the members of this assassin organization had such tattoos.
When Jian Xing’er was 11 years old, her entire family was killed.
After investigation, the relevant departments only had one clue, which was this spider tattoo.
For so many years, Jian Xing’er had been looking for this organization and had even pulled many strings for this purpose.
