Chapter 289: Chapter 289: What a Coincidence, I’m Also Looking for Something

"Indeed, indeed!" Zhuo Qing laughed, "If Brother Jin had found it, he certainly wouldn’t still be in this small town, he would have returned to the mountain long ago. But what exactly is the item Brother Jin is searching for? If you say it out loud, perhaps I could help look for it too."

Jin Zijin clasped his hands together, immediately smiled and said, "In that case, I won’t be polite. The item I’m looking for...is naturally the treasure of the Dao Family—the Youying Pearl."

As soon as these words came out, the two who had been pretending to be cheerful couldn’t keep it up anymore, and in the quiet courtyard, the air became stagnant, with only the sound of wood crackling in the small stove that was slowly boiling the medicine.

Gu Youyou and Abao, like every blade of grass and tree in the courtyard, continued to be ignored, while the two men faced each other; one with a smile on his face, the other as solemn as a silent night.

Zhuo Qing seemed taken aback that Jin Zijin would speak so bluntly about his search for the Youying Pearl, or perhaps it was so sudden that he didn’t know how to respond.

Jin Zijin still had a smile on his lips, as if the Youying Pearl were just an ordinary bead, without a care in the world.

How could something that the Tianzong elder brother has spent years searching for be just an ordinary bead?

Abao turned its head to look at Gu Youyou, who gently stroked its forehead and made a shushing gesture to it.

If others treat us as invisible, then let’s be quietly invisible.

But she was a bit curious, exactly which was more important: herself or the Dao Family’s treasured Youying Pearl that they were talking about?

This is rather interesting, clearly, the man named Zhuo Qing came for her, but now there is talk of something else. Perhaps for him, the Youying Pearl is more important.

"Hahaha... Brother Jin really knows how to joke." Zhuo Qing suddenly burst into laughter, shattering the calm; but it was not a good sign, for with the loss of calm, Gu Youyou sensed an air of tension and confrontation.

This was not good news for her; she had rented the house and paid a year’s rent. If they were to start fighting due to a disagreement, she would be the unfortunate one.

"How could it be a joke," Jin Zijin reined in his smile and said flatly, "Apart from the Youying Pearl, what could be worth six years of my time?"

Zhuo Qing also straightened his face, indeed, apart from the Youying Pearl, what else could be worth Jin Zijin’s six years? This was not funny at all, but apart from laughing, he really didn’t know what else to do.

No wonder Jin Zijin had disappeared for several years. No wonder nobody knew where he had gone. So, it was for the Youying Pearl.

But... "The Youying Pearl has been missing for many years, Brother Jin; I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find!"

"Naturally, it’s not easy to find," Jin Zijin did not deny it.

"And you? Are you also here for the Youying Pearl?" Jin Zijin asked again.

"Of course not," Zhuo Qing replied, then sighed heavily, with a look of relief on his face and said, "Thank goodness it’s not. Otherwise, I could have just gone back to confess my failure to Master. The item Brother Jin is looking for, even if found, I, Zhuo Qing, couldn’t take it away. That would surely require our elder brother or Master himself to step in."

Jin Zijin’s mouth curled slightly as he said, "Since this is the case, then we should each look for what we came for, without meddling with each other. Your visit today is considered a notification to me, so please feel free to proceed!"

"No!" Zhuo Qing immediately waved his hands and looked towards Gu Youyou, who had been treated as invisible by him until now.

Gu Youyou sneered, she knew it was coming.

Jin Zijin looked at Zhuo Qing with interest.

"Brother Jin, the item that Master asked Zhuo Qing to find has already been located. As long as Brother Jin gives face to our Master, Zhuo Qing can leave today."
