Chapter 1622: Ready To Return Home

After they left the jewellery store, Shangguan Wanrong said: “Little Jiu, is this set of jewellery expensive?” It couldn’t have been cheap if it was made by some master craftsman and sea salt kyanite!

“Mother, I have more than enough money, don’t worry!” How much money did she get for selling a bottle of pills? What alchemists and pharmacists don’t lack was money.

“Then don’t squander it.”

“How can buying my mother something be squandering money?” She smiled gently and held her hand: “There is a teahouse in front, let’s go and drink some tea!”

So the three of them went to the teahouse and sat down at a table on the second floor next to the window. They ordered a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks while they sat there idly chatting and enjoying the view.

“Mother, put on the set of jewellery! The aqua blue isn’t too eye-catching and it has a function of defence and attack. Wearing it will only give you advantages and not bring you any harm.”

“Put it on here?” Shangguan Wanrong was slightly startled.

“I will put it on for you Mother.” She smiled widely at her and said.

Shangguan Wanrong smiled when she saw her enthusiasm and replied: “Alright!” She took out the set of jewellery and placed it on the table.

The set of jewellery consisted of a s.p.a.ce ring, a bracelet, a pair of studded earrings, as well as a drop shaped necklace and a hairpin. The design was neither extravagant nor eye-catching. Even when it was worn, people who were ignorant wouldn’t be able to see the preciousness of this set of jewellery.

While she was helping her mother put on the jewellery, Feng Jiu said: “I wanted to learn craftsmans.h.i.+p in the past, I even bought the materials. But later on I realised I didn’t have time to learn this.”

“You already know a lot. You don’t have to force yourself to learn more. You might tire your body if you spend too much time learning.” She whispered gently to her daughter, lamenting in her heart.

How many others would have experienced as much as she had at such a young age? She had already done very well for herself.

“Well, when I have time in the future I will learn. Right now, we have to take care of the matters at hand first!” She took a step back with a wide smile on her face and asked Leng Shuang: “What do you think? I have good taste, don’t I?”

Leng Shuang nodded: “It looks good.”

She smiled when she heard this: “I think it really suits my mother.” She paused, and then said: “Mother, let’s go home in a few days’ time! The journey is not short and I think Father must be anxious waiting for us to return home.”

“Well, we can leave anytime. But are your affairs here in order?” She asked.

“To be honest, there is nothing much else left to do. However, I have been meaning to pay a visit to the Black Market Chief here, but the last time I went over, he was away on a trip. The person in charge said that he would inform me if he returned, but it looks like he isn’t back yet.”

Feng Jiu cupped her cheek after she sat back down at the table and took a sip of tea with her other hand. She was helpless in this matter. Who would have known that she wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet the Black Market Chief here? She was really curious as to what kind of a person he was.

“Then what shall we do? Do you want to wait until you’ve seen her before we leave? Or do you want to wait for another chance in the future?”

“We aren’t fated to meet this time, maybe next time! When the time is right I’m sure we will have the chance to meet.” She refused to believe that after all her dealings with the Black Market, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet this Black Market Chief.

“We will discuss with Mo Ze when we return later. If there are no incidents, we can leave in two days!” As she spoke about this, she missed her Grandfather and Father dearly.
