Chapter 24
C24 – Keep It Real Please!
When hearing this, Jiang Hao was also taken aback.
“Seems like Miss Wan’er has an eye for quality!”
Yet, when he noticed the fixed gazes of Jade King and Soong Wanzhong on the jade phoenix pendant, he quickly comprehended.
Given their family’s involvement in the jade trade, it wasn’t surprising that Wan’er possessed such knowledge!
As Qin Shou absorbed these words, his expression underwent a drastic change. Concurrently, his legs weakened, nearly causing him to stumble.
“How can it be fake? How can it be glass type? It must be crafted from crystal!”
He muttered in a low voice.
At that moment, Soong Wan’s great-grandfather carefully held the piece and examined it. With a pleased murmur to himself, he continued.
“The color is dense and consistent. No impurities are present in the uniform colors. It boasts a delicate and moist quality. Indeed, this is genuine glass type Emperor Green Jade!
The carving technique splendidly captures the jade’s spiritual luminance. Simultaneously, it flawlessly etches the phoenix’s allure. It truly stands as an exquisite masterpiece!”
“Without a doubt, this is the creation of a Master!”
Hearing Soong Wan’s great-grandfather’s assessment, astonishment rippled through everyone.
This Third Master Soong held a renowned reputation within the Jade World, a fact well-known to all!
The Soong family’s Jade Pavilion’s top-three standing in Jiangbei Province’s fiercely competitive jade industry was predominantly thanks to Third Master Soong’s contributions!
Following Third Master Soong’s evaluation, Jiang Hao studied him more intently.
After learning of Third Master Soong’s assessment, Qin Shou seemed to lose his spirit. He sank to the ground, struggling to accept what he had heard.
“How is this possible? Everything is fake!”
“How could a poor brat like him have such a precious treasure? It must be fake!”
Qin Shou seemed to have lost his mind and was crazily roaring.
This time, Third Master Soong could no longer bear to watch.
“Kid, are you saying that I’m blind?”
He questioned, seemingly very angry!
“I’ve got no qualms about revealing this: this pendant came directly from the hands of a Grandmaster, and its composition ranks among the finest treasures. This single piece alone is valued at over 50 million.
Moreover, it appears that a fragment of this piece is missing. There should have been a dragon-shaped jade that complements it! When the dragon and phoenix intertwine, the value soars even higher!”
Upon Third Master Soong’s disclosure, astonishment once again rippled through the crowd!
“Grandmaster! I’m truly eager to meet the Grandmaster capable of crafting such a rare gem!”
With a hint of reluctance, he handed the precious phoenix pendant back to Soong Wan.
On the side, Jiang Hao could only silently contemplate to himself.
“The system does indeed wield incredible power. It might just be a minor modification function, but it wields such tremendous potential!”
Certainly, this phoenix pendant was the result of Jiang Hao’s request to the system for a modification.
Initially, he believed the system solely possessed deconstruction and synthesis capabilities. However, he discovered last night that when he mentioned it, the system had ingeniously modified the glass-type Emperor Green Jade he had synthesized into a pair of Dragon and Phoenix pendants!
The system’s modification feature was reserved solely for synthesizing or dividing objects, with the capability to alter only their appearance!
Even so, this made him happy for quite a while!
Simultaneously, this provided him a path to potential wealth!
In this moment, Soong Wan accepted it cautiously, despite her deep fondness for this pendant.
Concurrently, she felt profoundly moved that Jiang Hao had gifted her something of such value, yet it was so valuable that she found it hard to accept!
Furthermore, this seemed inconsistent with the findings Uncle Hai had shared regarding his investigation of Jiang Hao. This perplexed her greatly!
Gently placing the pendant back into its box, she then handed it to Jiang Hao, who stood beside her, and addressed him.
“Jiang Hao, I cannot embrace such a precious gift. Please take it back!
I’m genuinely delighted you could attend my birthday celebration, but I truly cannot accept this.”
Soong Wan said apologetically.
