She followed Ye Fei’s gaze and looked over.
To her surprise, Ye Fei’s eyes were fixed on a seemingly unremarkable, unknown stone.
In fact, this unknown stone had a significant origin, having been retrieved from a very dangerous ancient ruin.
However, after more than ten years, no one had been able to decipher what kind of material it was.
In the end, this unknown metallic material was placed on a display shelf on the first floor.
With a change in expression, the woman in white gracefully approached Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was admiring the Sky Demon Stone on the shelf when a scent of fragrance wafted towards him, causing him to glance aside.
The woman in white naturally noticed Ye Fei’s gaze, turned her head, and smiled.
“Sir, I noticed you were intently staring at this unknown stone earlier. Do you happen to know its origin?”
Ye Fei couldn’t help but look at the woman in white again. Judging by her attire, he could tell she must hold a high position.
Seeing Ye Fei look at her a few times, the woman in white introduced herself.
“Sir, allow me to introduce myself. I am Bai Piaopiao, the manager of this Myriad Treasures Pavilion.”
Ye Fei was somewhat surprised, as he truly hadn’t expected the woman before him to be the manager of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
“Miss Bai, hello. To be honest, I do know what this stone is!”
“However, I have a condition. Would you be willing to sell me one-third of this stone?”
Ye Fei stated calmly.
Seeing him calmly negotiate, Bai Piaopiao couldn’t help but look at Ye Fei a few more times.
“Certainly, if you can tell me what this stone is, I am willing to gift you half of it!”
Bai Piaopiao said generously.
Ye Fei, seeing her sincerity, nodded in agreement.
“In that case, I shall tell you what this stone is.”
“Have you ever heard of the Sky Demon Stone?”
“Legend has it that with the Sky Demon Stone, any weapon, regardless of its grade, can be transformed into a saint-grade weapon!”
“Based on my experience, this is the legendary Sky Demon Stone!”
As she spoke, Bai Piaopiao’s breathing deepened, and her eyes eagerly fixed on the stone on the display shelf.
“Sir, are you telling the truth?”
“Is this truly the legendary Sky Demon Stone?”
Bai Piaopiao asked, half-believing.
She simply couldn’t imagine the Sky Demon Stone looking like this. If she hadn’t intervened at the last moment, this thing that looked like a piece of charcoal would have been thrown away.
“That was close!”
Bai Piaopiao clutched her chest and whispered.
“Sir, although I believe your words, how can you prove it?”
Bai Piaopiao continued to ask.
“It’s very simple!”
“We’ll conduct an experiment then!”
Ye Fei snapped his fingers and said.
“Alright, in that case, when shall we begin the experiment?”
Bai Piaopiao asked impatiently.
“Don’t rush, I forgot to mention.”
“The Sky Demon Stone has extreme hardness. Ordinary swords and sabers cannot cleave it.”
“More importantly, this outer layer of the Sky Demon Stone cannot be used. Only after removing the impurities from the outer layer can what’s inside be revealed.”
Ye Fei explained again.
Bai Piaopiao had only heard of the Sky Demon Stone from some ancient texts, but she knew nothing more.
Therefore, while Ye Fei was speaking, she was observing him.
Based on her experience, Ye Fei showed no signs of lying.
“Sir, then everything is up to you!”
“Let’s set a time and conduct an experiment, shall we?”
Bai Piaopiao said with a smile.
“Tomorrow, at this same time tomorrow, I will be here on time!”
Ye Fei replied.
“Alright, then Piaopiao will await your esteemed presence tomorrow!”
Bai Piaopiao responded.
After they agreed on a time, Bai Piaopiao accompanied Ye Fei towards the checkout counter.
They happened to meet Shangguan Xue’er and her group who had just finished checking out.
“Sister Bai, why are you with this young master?”
Xiao Xiao asked in surprise.
“It’s nothing, this young master is a friend I just met.”
Xiao Xiao’s eyes rippled.
Her gaze towards Ye Fei was filled with reverence.
As for Shangguan Xue’er, a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
“Xue’er, let’s go then!”
“It’s getting late.”
Ye Fei reminded her as she seemed lost in thought.
“Okay, I understand.”
As for Bai Piaopiao and her group, they insisted on escorting Ye Fei out.
After Ye Fei politely declined a few times, seeing her insistence, he allowed her to walk beside him as they headed towards the entrance.
Shangguan Xue’er, preoccupied, followed Ye Fei to the main entrance of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
“Not good!”
“There must be an ambush outside!”
“I was careless!”
“We offended those people earlier, they won’t let this go!”
“I estimate they are waiting outside, ready to strike as soon as we step out.”
Ye Fei frowned.
Shangguan Xue’er had clearly thought of this as well and said worriedly.
“Then what do we do?”
“Those two guards have cultivation levels at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation Layer Seven. We are definitely not their match!”
“If we confront them head-on, we will be the ones at a disadvantage!”
Ye Fei felt the same way, so he cast his gaze towards Bai Piaopiao again and said.
“Miss Bai, do you happen to have any side doors or anything similar here?”
Bai Piaopiao suddenly smiled, glared at Ye Fei, and then said.
“Of course. How about this, follow me!”
Ye Fei and the others then followed Bai Piaopiao to the side.
Soon, everyone arrived at a very hidden side door on the first floor.
“Thank you!”
“I am deeply grateful!”
Ye Fei cupped his hands, expressing his gratitude.
“Alright, don’t linger. Hurry up and leave before you’re discovered!”
Bai Piaopiao urged.
Watching Ye Fei and the other quickly disappear from her sight, Bai Piaopiao finally closed the door and returned to the main hall on the first floor.
Along the way, Xiao Xiao had wanted to speak several times but hesitated.
“Alright, I can see you’ve been looking at me. Are you perhaps wondering why I’m being so polite and giving that kid a second look?”
Bai Piaopiao said with a smile.
“Miss, you are correct!”
“I truly don’t understand. Please enlighten me, Miss!”
Xiao Xiao pleaded.
“Actually, I don’t have any concrete evidence. I just see that Ye Fei knows a lot, and although he dresses plainly, his demeanor is exceptionally sharp. This is also my intuition; I feel that Ye Fei is no ordinary person and will achieve great things in the future.”
“As you know, my intuition is usually very accurate and has never been wrong. So, fostering a good relationship with him can only be beneficial!”
This explanation made Xiao Xiao convinced.
“Miss, I understand. I will be more respectful the next time I see him.”
As Bai Piaopiao still had matters to attend to, she went directly to her office on the third floor.
