Chapter 155: The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade is Fake
🕑 Added 2023-07-11 22:03:55 +0000 UTCLei Ying remained silent, and Yan Jin didn't answer Yao Dan's question. Instead, Yan Jin handed the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade to Yao Dan and said, "Yao Dan, see for yourself!"
"I'll take a look!"
Yao Dan received the Tuo She Ancient Jade from Yan Jin's hand and began to carefully examine it. In the end, he uttered words that relieved Shi Po Ting, "This Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade seems to be fine. Yan Jin, Lei Ying, what was that expression earlier?"
Indeed.
In Yao Dan's view, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was genuine, genuinely authentic.
After hearing Yao Dan's words, Shi Po Ting also relaxed. He had thought that there might be a problem with the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, but it turned out to be his own foolishness. There was absolutely no issue. He had scared himself.
Shi Po Ting looked at Yan Jin and Lei Ying, his gaze questioning, hoping that these two would provide an explanation for their previous expressions.
Upon hearing Yao Dan's words, Yan Jin chuckled and said, "Yao Dan, can you be certain that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in your hand is genuine?"
"Yes!"
Yao Dan nodded and replied, "Yes, I can confirm that the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in my hand is genuine. It couldn't be more authentic."
"Good!"
Yan Jin said, "Yao Dan, why don't you exert a little force on the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade?"
Yao Dan didn't understand and asked, "Yan Jin, you should know that this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was left behind by a Dou Di-level powerhouse. Even a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng wouldn't be able to crush it."
Yan Jin smiled and said, "Yao Dan, just do as I said."
"Alright!"
Yao Dan nodded.
Although he didn't understand the meaning behind Yan Jin's words, he chose to follow them. He slowly closed his palm, then exerted a slight force, tightly gripping the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand.
"Hmm!"
Soon, Yao Dan's expression became subtly different.
Yan Jin looked at Yao Dan's subtle expression and instantly understood. Yao Dan had realized something. Yan Jin continued, "Yao Dan, please extend your palm."
"Okay!"
Yao Dan complied.
In an instant...
The Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade that was originally in Yao Dan's palm had disappeared, replaced by a fine powder, to be precise, jade powder.
When jade is crushed into a fine powder, it naturally becomes jade powder.
"This..."
"Where's the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade?"
Shi Po Ting and the Ling Zhi Zun were shocked. What was happening? How did the intact Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade turn into powder?
Yan Jin looked at the dumbfounded Yao Dan and said, "Yao Dan, do you still think that this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade is genuine?"
Yao Dan, hearing this, forced a bitter smile and said, "This Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade is fake."
Yao Dan wasn't foolish.
The fact that he could crush the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade into powder indicated that it was indeed fake. If he were to acknowledge its authenticity at this point...
Shi Po Ting was probably going to demand compensation for the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. After all, the jade was crushed by Yao Dan, turning into powder. Yao Dan was also frustrated.
In his eyes, this was genuine jade. How could it turn into powder with just a little force?
Was he exerting too much force?
Or...
...
Yao Dan looked at Shi Po Ting and said, "Brother Shi, don't you plan to explain?" Shi Po Ting was the one who brought the jade, and everyone believed it was genuine. But now, it turned out to be a fake.
What should they do?
"No... it's impossible..."
Shi Po Ting was dumbfounded and said, "It's impossible. This jade is the precious treasure of my Shi Clan. It has always been kept in our ancestral hall. How could it be fake?"
The jade had been right in front of them all along, and now it was concluded to be fake.
It couldn't be any more fake.
Could the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, which could be crushed into powder, really be genuine?
Faced with Shi Po Ting's denial, Yao Dan and the Ling Zhi Zun maintained a skeptical attitude as they looked at Shi Po Ting.
After all, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade hadn't even left to the Gu clan yet.
If there was a problem with the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade, who should they turn to? Naturally, it was Shi Po Ting.
Only Yan Jin and Lei Ying believed Shi Po Ting's words. After all, they were the ones who had secretly sent their clones to follow Shi Po Ting's clone as he retrieved the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade.
Shi Po Ting hadn't played any tricks at all!
As for how the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade could be fake, it could only mean one thing... There was only one truth: the jade had been fake from the beginning.
Fortunately, none of them had brought the jade to the Gu Clan. Otherwise, they would have lost face again. Bringing a fake jade once was bad enough, but bringing another one again?
This...
It showed a complete lack of regard for the Gu Clan and a mocking attitude towards Gu Yuan!
Yan Jin spoke up, "I believe Brother Shi's words. I am willing to offer the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from the Yan Clan. What we need to do now is to annihilate the Soul Clan."
"If we continue to delay like this, it won't be us attacking the Soul Clan; it will be the Soul Clan coming to attack us."
In Yan Jin's view, they couldn't afford to delay in this situation. What they needed to do now is to bring the Gu Clan into their alliance. Only then would they have the qualifications to fight against the Soul Clan!
Otherwise, what chance did they have?
A group of insignificant beings, not even worthy opponents for the Soul Clan!
"Brother Yan, your righteousness is admirable!" Lei Ying looked at Yan Jin with admiration upon hearing his words. He didn't expect Yan Jin to show such righteousness at this critical moment.
Lei Ying thought there would be more debate and eventually have Yao Dan's Yao Clan bring out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. But they hadn't even started the debate yet.
Yan Jin stood up and declared that the matter should come to an end.
Next, it was up to Yan Jin to bring out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. Lei Ying didn't know how to describe Yan Jin at this moment. It was nothing but righteousness!
Yao Dan, Shi Po Ting, and Ling Zhi Zun were all stunned upon hearing Yan Jin's words, looking at Yan Jin with shock. They didn't expect Yan Jin to be the one to step forward and take charge of the situation.
Yan Jin didn't pay attention to what they were thinking. He immediately sent out a clone to leave the hall and retrieve the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from the Yan Clan.
...
Yan Jin's clone returned.
Yan Jin held the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand but didn't hand it over right away. He was sensing whether this Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was genuine.
The one Shi Po Ting brought was fake.
Who's to say the one in Yan Jin's hand wasn't fake as well?
"This..."
Just as he was about to examine it, Yan Jin was dumbfounded. This Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade was indeed fake. The one he personally retrieved from the Yan Clan's ancestral hall was also fake?
This...
When the fake turned out to be in his own hands, Yan Jin found it hard to believe!
Lei Ying noticed the bewildered expression on Yan Jin's face and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yan, is there something wrong with the jade?"
Yan Jin didn't answer Lei Ying's question but showed him through actions.
He tightly clenched his palm.
Then he opened his hand.
And the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in the palm turned into a pile of powder!
