Both worlds are like dreams

The young man in green looked at her and said politely, "Young lady, this piece of jade is very important to me. Can you give it to me?"

"It also means something to me. I have been looking for it for a long time." Xue Huang said.

"This..." The young man in green showed an embarrassment, "Miss, what do you want to use it for?"

"To cure the disease." Xue Huang said with a smile.

The young man in green looked at Xue Huang in surprise. Although he had never heard of jade being able to cure diseases, he saw that she was sincere and serious, and she didn't look like she was lying, so he said, "I originally wanted to find it to give to a friend. Since what the girl wants is more important, I am willing to give it to her."

Xue Huang's expression brightened, "Really?"

The young man in blue nodded.

Seeing that the two men had reached an agreement so readily, the clerk immediately smiled. He had been worried that the two men would fight over the jade. And if he offended this young master, he probably wouldn't be able to work in Yuqingfang anymore.

Now that the matter was resolved peacefully, he quickly said, "Miss, this piece of jade costs 1,200 taels of silver. If you like it, I will pack it for you right away, and you can go downstairs to pay."

After hearing what the waiter said, Xue Huang opened her eyes wide, stared at the jade stone and asked, "How much did you say it was sold for?"

"One thousand two hundred taels." said the waiter.

Xue Huang pinched her purse, revealed a regretful smile, turned to the young man in green and said, "I'm sorry, I can't afford this stone, so I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Xue Huang went downstairs and left Yuqingfang.

Although the money Wei Yunzhou gave her was not a small amount, it was only a few dozen taels, enough for her daily pocket money. She really couldn't afford the warm jade worth 1,200 taels.

The gem on Xue Huang's neck lit up, and then the young man's voice came, "You can ask your uncle for it! He runs such a big brothel, he should have this little money, right?"

"Forget it, maybe we'll meet again in the future." Xue Huang said indifferently.

"You are speaking so calmly now. When your stomach hurts, I want to see whether you will cry or laugh."

"Okay, let's go and take a good look around Shangyang City first." Xue Huang said.

She walked a few steps along the busy long street, but heard someone behind her calling her, "Girl, stay."

Xue Huang turned around and saw that it was the young man in green who had chased after her. She asked in confusion, "Are you calling me?"

The young man in green came up to her and nodded, saying, "Miss, you just said that you were looking for this warm jade to cure illness. Can I ask you how this jade can cure illness?"

Xue Huang stretched out her index and middle fingers and placed them on the back of his hand. "I was born with a cold body, so I want to find a piece of warm jade to wear."

The young man in green looked at the tender fingers on the back of his hand, and felt a very delicate chill spreading from the back of his hand all the way to the bottom of his heart. He was surprised and said, "Girl, your physique is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

Xue Huang smiled, and looking at the polite appearance of the young man in green, she actually had the intention to tease him, "Young Master, how many girls have you seen in your life? Could it be that every one of them put their hands on yours like I did?"

Hearing this, the young man in blue immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, but the tip of his ear inexplicably turned red. He looked a little unnatural and said, "I am sorry for being rude."

"No problem," Xue Huang said with a smile, "We are Jianghu people, and we don't care about these things. If you don't have any other questions, I'll leave first."

"Girl, since you need this warm jade to cure your illness, why don't I split the jade into two, maybe it can solve your needs and ours at the same time."

Xue Huang looked at him in surprise, "Such a precious item? Are you willing to give me half of it?"

The young man in green nodded without hesitation, "I originally intended to polish this into a jade pendant to give to a friend. It doesn't take so much raw material. Since the young lady also needs it, I'll give it to you."

"You and I have never met before. Are you really willing to give me such a valuable item? Or do you have other requests, sir?" Xue Huang asked.

The young man in green smiled and said, "The girl is looking for it to cure her illness, but I am looking for it just to please her and give her a gift. In comparison, the former is naturally more important."

Xue Huang thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can't take your half piece of jade for nothing. I'll pay you half of the silver when I get back and collect enough money."

"Since I have promised you, I am willing to do it and will never ask for money from you again."

"No," Xue Huang shook her head, "If you don't want it, then I don't want it."

The young man in green smiled, like the warm sunshine in spring. "Well, then. There is a shop on East Street that is the best at polishing jade. I will go and split the jade into two halves. Tomorrow at noon, please wait for me in the pavilion of Bi Bo Lake. I will definitely deliver half of the jade."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Xue Huang looked around and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, she walked towards a round stone table next to Yuqingfang. The young man in green didn't understand why, but he still followed her.

Coming to the table, Xuehuang took the box from him and placed the jade inside on the table.

"Girl, what are you doing?" asked the man in green.

Xue Huang was seen circulating her inner strength, and the cold air in the palm of her right hand continued to condense, and gradually condensed into an extremely sharp dagger. Then she slashed at the jade, directly splitting the extremely hard stone into two, but the ice dagger in her hand did not even leave a mark.

The man in green was obviously shocked. He had never seen such wonderful martial arts, nor had he ever seen a girl of fifteen or sixteen possess such strong internal strength.

Xue Huang melted the ice dagger in her hand, then took one half of the jade and put it in the box and returned it to the young man in green. She took the other piece in her hand and said, "The agreement for tomorrow's noon will remain the same, but I will go and give you the silver."

The man in green returned to normal, took the box and nodded, saying, "I will definitely keep the appointment."

"Then I'll go first." Xue Huang shook the stone in her hand and said goodbye with a smile, "Thank you."

The man in blue bowed and left with a smile.

Holding the warm stone in her hand, Xue Huang walked towards Jinxiu Tower. On the way, she kept looking at the jade in her hand, wondering what shape such a beautiful piece of jade should be polished into?

"Do you know who he is?" a voice suddenly came from the gem.

"I don't know." Xue Huang said.

"Why would you accept it if you don't know who it is?"

Xue Huang kicked the stone and said with a smile: "I bought this with my own money."

"Aren't you afraid that he might have other intentions?"

"What are you afraid of? He can't beat me anyway. But I think he's a pretty good guy."

The voice in the gem snorted coldly, "Don't let your guard down just because he's good-looking. Have you forgotten the man from Shuanglin City? He will kill you if we meet."

Xue Huang thought of something, rolled her eyes, and said no more. When she passed by the restaurant, she bought a jar of wine and carried it back to Jinxiu Tower.
