Chapter 765: Chapter 745: Interested in getting a card? Jimo Xiao
The place to get the card was quite fancy, actually underground, and it had an ancient vibe to it, not filled with the modern atmosphere like Hei Yu’s place.
Moreover, the focus was the walls, inlaid with all sorts of crystals, gems, jade, incredibly dazzling to the eyes.
Luo Qianqian walked and looked around until her eyes were dazzled.
Suddenly, she realized something, just like the card that had shattered earlier; before it shattered, she hadn’t guessed what material it was made of, and she didn’t dare to show it to others carelessly either.
"Is the card made of crystal?" Luo Qianqian directly asked.
With these kinds of things all around, it was no wonder she would make such an association.
"Not entirely, there are also gems and jade, plus some composite materials, making it not so easily breakable. It can only be crushed through special means."
Luo Qianqian pouted, thinking it such a waste. Even if it’s no longer needed, wouldn’t it be great to keep it as a collectible? After all, it’s a gem, a gem...
Thinking about how back then, people would fight over a Gambling Stone without knowing whether there was jade inside, Luo Qianqian felt it was unworthy for them. If only they came here, they could just dig up any Stone...
"Old man, a newcomer has arrived!" Changsun Wei shouted as he came down the stairs.
An old man tremblingly emerged, and upon seeing that Changsun Wei had brought yet another child, his brow furrowed, "Are kids these days all so formidable?"
Changsun Wei shrugged, "You ask me? This is number ninety-eight."
Luo Qianqian pouted, clearly not satisfied with that number.
"Which Group are you from?" the old man asked helplessly as he walked towards a furnace.
Luo Qianqian blinked, "It should be Element, right?"
"What do you mean should be!" the old man suddenly got unhappy, turning back to stare at Luo Qianqian, "Not even sure, go on, go home and play."
Luo Qianqian looked innocently towards Changsun Wei, who patted his forehead; it was his mistake for not explaining...
"Speed Group, attribute is wind; Strength Group, attribute is metal; detection is wind and wood; the rest are Element."
Yet Luo Qianqian frowned, "What about Spirit and Medicine?"
"Spirit Group is The Eighth Element, Medicine Group is... other personnel?"
Luo Qianqian tilted her head, "Which one costs more to make, Spirit Group or Element Group?"
Changsun Wei was helpless, "The most expensive in terms of cost? They should be about the same..."
The old man immediately got annoyed, "Stop fooling around, come on, what element?"
Luo Qianqian was silent for a moment, "Water."
Hearing Luo Qianqian’s response, the old man showed a disdainful expression, "Little girl, water is black."
"I know," Luo Qianqian said calmly.
"If she says it is, then it is," Changsun Wei knew this little girl was currently the only one who had completed the cycle of finding chi and circulating it during meditation, the only one!
The old man huffed, "If you want to change it later, don’t come looking for me!"
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes; they couldn’t disbelieve her just because she was young, right?
Watching the old man pick up a black Stone with tongs, she blinked, "This isn’t a piece of coal, is it?"
"This is Mo Yu!" The old man exploded, "Take her away immediately, right now!"
Changsun Wei awkwardly looked at Luo Qianqian, who spread her hands: "Well then, let’s go eat. We can see if Shiba has come back."
Do you think Shi Bahao knows you call him that? Changsun Wei helplessly shook his head as Luo Qianqian inspected the jewels by the staircase, seeking approval from Changsun Wei: "Can I pry one off and take it with me?"
"You dare!!!" Before Changsun Wei could respond, they heard the old man below shouting loudly.
Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, shrugged her shoulders: "Such a bad temper, be careful not to burn your hand."
Changsun Wei looked at Luo Qianqian helplessly: "That person’s surname is Jimo."
Luo Qianqian was startled, then immediately scurried back down the stairs: "Grandpa, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were my senior brother’s elder."
The old man, listening to Luo Qianqian running down, was about to get impatient when he heard her words, and for a moment, was somewhat stunned.
Changsun Wei couldn’t stop Luo Qianqian, watching her run back down, also feeling helpless: "Can you listen to me until I finish? This person is..."
"I am someone who was abandoned by the Jimo Family." The old man chuckled, "Hearing you call me Grandpa brings back some memories. Which one is your senior brother?"
"My senior brother is Jimo Cheng, styled Jin Nian."
Luo Qianqian said respectfully.
Yet she saw the old man frowning, looking as if he did not recognize the name, and Luo Qianqian tentatively added: "My senior brother’s grandfather is Jimo Kong, do you know him?"
Just then, the old man’s tongs clanged to the floor, and in the next second, his hand was on Luo Qianqian’s shoulder: "Who did you say?"
Luo Qianqian frowned slightly. It couldn’t be such a coincidence that he was an enemy of Grandpa Kong or something, right? "Jimo Kong..." Luo Qianqian said with added caution, her handbag already open, ready to grab something to hit someone.
"That kid has a grandson already?" Tears fell from the old man’s face: "Time really does fly."
Seeing the puzzled look on Luo Qianqian’s face, the old man continued: "I am that kid Jimo Kong’s teacher. I used to be called Jimo Xiao, now you can call me Old Man Xiao."
Luo Qianqian’s mouth fell open, then she called out, bewildered: "Greetings, Grandmaster..." She stood up, unsure of what to do next, wanting to kneel yet feeling that wouldn’t be quite right, a bit at a loss for actions.
"You there, go do whatever you want. I’m going to chat with my junior here." Jimo Xiao looked towards Changsun Wei with a face full of disdain: "I won’t be leaving here anyway, can’t I even have a chat with my grand-disciple?"
"Not at all, as you wish..." Changsun Wei was full of helplessness, for who could overrule someone who was the only one capable of making identity cards here? If a card got a scratch or needed fixing, they’d still have to come back for repairs, no offence could be allowed.
Jimo Xiao snorted and patted the small chair beside him: "Are you Kid Kong’s student?"
Luo Qianqian promptly nodded: "Yes, yes, I am."
"Quite rare for him to take a female student. You wouldn’t happen to be your senior brother’s adopted bride, would you?" Jimo Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Luo Qianqian’s face turned awkward, and it seemed the description wasn’t wrong, was it?
"Sigh..." Seeing Luo Qianqian’s expression, Jimo Xiao didn’t need her to say anything to know the answer, with a slight sigh: "I knew it, that kid always detested girls the most."
Luo Qianqian blinked, neither confirming nor denying, but she had to admit that, indeed, she had not seen any other women around Grandpa Kong, aside from herself.
"What have you learned from that youngster?" Jimo Xiao asked again.
Luo Qianqian was silent for a moment, too embarrassed to say she hadn’t learned anything yet: "Grandpa Kong intends to teach me to play the flute."
"Flute? The Jade Flute? The Water Spirit Flute does match your water attribute quite well." Jimo Xiao nodded as if greatly approving.
