Qin Feng and Lin Xue'er returned to their resting spot where Xu Yunxiao, upon seeing them, hurriedly asked with concern what had happened.

How could they possibly voice what had happened?

With her face flushed, Lin Xue'er awkwardly said, "Nothing, nothing, I just tripped and sprained my ankle a little. It's not a big deal."

"I happen to have Yunnan Baiyao with me..." Xu Yunxiao was about to rummage through her luggage when she was interrupted.

"No need, no need, it's just a minor injury."

Lin Xue'er hurriedly declined.

At that moment, Xu Changjian came over to show off his concern, taking out a Jade Pendant and saying, "Xue'er, this is an Amulet. I got it blessed by a Master at Dahuang Temple the year before last. It cost me 880,000. It can ward off evil spirits and disasters, it's very effective. I'll give it to you!"

Having failed to charm Shen Lu, seducing Lin Xue'er wouldn't be half bad.

Lin Xue'er's grandfather was a renowned antiques master, and she herself was as beautiful as a pristine and fair piece of jade, a delight to engage with, no doubt.

Lin Xue'er gave it only a glance before saying, "This is Fake Jade."

"Fake Jade?"

Xu Changjian was taken aback for a moment.

"Although it is made to look very realistic, it's just too realistic, so it looks too fake."

Lin Xue'er continued.

"No way? I spent 880,000 on this! And that Master claimed it was top-quality Emperor Green!"

Xu Changjian felt a jolt in his heart.

Lin Xue'er had quite the expertise when it came to identifying jade, and if she said it was fake, it was almost certainly fake.

Sure enough.

Xu Changjian tried slamming it onto a rock, but the jade didn't shatter at all. Upon closer inspection, he could see that the scrape mark revealed it was made of a special type of plastic!

"Damn!"

Xu Changjian was frustrated.

At that moment, Lin Xue'er took out two ancient-looking necklaces with a wolf tooth from her backpack, handed one to Xu Yunxiao, and said, "Sister Yunxiao, this is for you. My grandpa gave it to me, it can ward off disasters, it's very effective."

"This necklace can ward off disasters?" Xu Yunxiao was skeptical.

"Yes, one time I went with an archeological team into the mountains, and we encountered a tiger. Just as it was about to attack me, I took it out and the tiger glanced at it and then just left," explained Lin Xue'er.

She regretted not wearing it at that moment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bitten by the snake.

"No way."

Right then, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Wife, you can't wear it."

"Why?"

Xu Yunxiao was puzzled.

Lin Xue'er was also frowning, "Hey, are you suggesting my necklace is fake?"

"It's not that."

Qin Feng shook his head.

That Wolf Tooth Necklace was indeed not an ordinary piece; he could sense a kind of energy emanating from it that could deter fierce beasts and venomous insects, created by a highly skilled person.

But in the end, the energy was still weak.

Moreover, it would clash with the energy of the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin, and wearing it would be detrimental to both her spirit and health.

"Wife, your Jade Hairpin is more than enough to ward off disasters and evil spirits, so there's no need for this."

Qin Feng said.

This morning, before setting off, he had asked Xu Yunxiao to wear it on her head.

Hearing that, Lin Xue'er pouted and said, "It must be from some fake Monk or Taoist priest, right?"

"No, it's the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin."

Qin Feng said.

Xu Yunxiao took the Jade Hairpin off her head to show Lin Xue'er. At the sight of this, Xu Changjian immediately said, "That's fake, it's definitely fake! How could it have cracks on it? You dumbass, you got scammed too, didn't you? Haha..."

"Exactly! The Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin is sought after by so many wealthy people; how could you possibly get your hands on one, especially when you know nothing about jade?"

Lin Xue'er added.

Little did they know.

The moment she caught the jade hairpin, she suddenly froze, sensing that this jade was not like ordinary jade.

It was an instinct, a natural talent.

And it was this talent that made her a young antique expert.

Lin Xue'er immediately picked up the jade hairpin and examined it closely.

Beside her, Xu Changjian, pointing at the "cracks," laughed, "Hahaha, look, these cracks are so obvious, only a fool would buy it. They must have been fooled, what idiots, hahaha..."

He was laughing cheerfully.

Lin Xue'er held the jade hairpin up to the sun, her expression serious, "This is real!"

"Real?!"

Xu Changjian was stunned.

Lin Xue'er seemed quite excited, on the verge of speaking, but seeing Qin Feng and Xu Changjian next to her, she said, "Could you two give us a moment for some private conversation?"

They had no choice but to step further away.

Lin Xue'er grabbed Xu Yunxiao's hand tightly, her eyes brimming with excitement, "Sister Yunxiao, where did you get this jade hairpin?"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Yunxiao was somewhat bewildered.

Why was she even more excited than grandma upon hearing about the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin?

"You might not know, but this jade hairpin was crafted by Master Yun. In the past, it was seen as a symbol of nobility because only nobles could afford its hefty price tag and were deemed worthy to possess it!" Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.

"Its value doesn't lie in the craftsmanship, nor the jade quality, but in the mysterious energy it harbors within. It truly can ward off evil spirits and disasters, bringing fortune. If you have the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin, you could even 'accidentally' evade a bullet fired at you – it's that miraculous!"

"Moreover, various poisonous insects won't come near you, you won't get bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, nor will you be bothered by flies."

"..."

Listening to Lin Xue'er talking non-stop, Xu Yunxiao just realized that recently, indeed, she seemed unaffected by mosquitoes or flies.

"Later there were rumors that with the passage of time, its miraculous energy was gradually diminishing, and its worth plummeted, carrying only historical value."

"But recently, some renowned experts studied Master Yun's artifacts and concluded that the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin still contained its miraculous energy!"

"It's just that later generations of skilled individuals concealed its aura within the 'Golden Phoenix' inside the jade."

"Unfortunately, that jade hairpin had disappeared for many years and no one could find it."

"I never expected it would be in your hands!"

Lin Xue'er exclaimed.

Xu Yunxiao was dumbfounded, "Is this jade hairpin... really that powerful?"

"Let me put it this way! If you were to auction it off and there are knowledgeable people present, its price would start at least at one billion!"

Lin Xue'er declared.

"..."

Xu Yunxiao gasped sharply.

She never imagined the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin could be so valuable!

"That's why I sent them away to tell you this, you mustn't reveal it!" Lin Xue'er repeatedly urged, "By the way, where did you get such a precious treasure?"

"It was a birthday gift from Qin Feng."

Xu Yunxiao said.

"Him?!"

Lin Xue'er looked towards Qin Feng in the distance oddly, "His luck is too good! Fortunately, he doesn't know it's the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin, otherwise, he would definitely have kept it for himself. That's a billion!"

"No, he knows..."

Xu Yunxiao said.

"He knows it's the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin? That's impossible!" Lin Xue'er was surprised, "If I hadn't been studying it recently, I wouldn't know myself, and besides, the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin has changed slightly in appearance due to the divine energy within, and there are only a handful of people in the country who could recognize it."

"Really."

Xu Yunxiao said with a wry smile.

She clearly remembered that night on Qixi Festival, when Qin Feng gave her the gift, saying it was the Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin, which could bring safety!

"..."

Lin Xue'er bewilderedly looked towards Qin Feng.

How did he recognize it?
