The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 567 - 469: The Origin of the Jade Pendant (First Update)

"Oh my God!"

When Li Xian saw the scene within the Jade Pendant, he was completely frozen.

He had previously doubted Yang Tian's words.

Yang Tian, from the first moment he saw the Singing Lady, had said she was a Celestial Demon.

At first, Li Xian did not believe him.

But now, seeing the scene inside the Jade Pendant, Li Xian began to believe Yang Tian's words.

Inside the Jade Pendant, a Celestial Demon Soul was floating there. This Celestial Demon Soul had three sharp horns and long, thick arms, looking exactly like the Celestial Demons outside their domain.

"What's going on here?"

"Why is it that the love token the Singing Lady gave to Yang Tian contains such a creature?"

"What exactly is this creature?"

The people at Yihong Courtyard were in an uproar.

But for them, they only knew there were Celestial Demons outside their domain, they didn't know what they looked like.

So when the scene within the Jade Pendant appeared, everyone was just astonished.

Only Yang Tian and Li Xian among them had seen Celestial Demons before, even the Singing Lady Xu Wenting had a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Young Master Yang, what is going on? Why is there such a creature within my Jade Pendant?"

Upon hearing Xu Wenting's words, Yang Tian frowned.

He looked towards Xu Wenting and noticed that her face was very calm.

As if she were speaking of something unrelated to her.

But wasn't this Celestial Demon Soul Xu Wenting's? This Jade Pendant was Xu Wenting's. Didn't Xu Wenting know there was a Celestial Demon inside?

Could it be that Xu Wenting had no dealings with the Celestial Demon?

Thinking of this, Yang Tian said to Xu Wenting, "Miss Xu, I accept your invitation, let's enjoy the moon together!"

"Young Master Yang, why did you suddenly agree?"

Xu Wenting, not being foolish, thought Yang Tian must have seen the scene inside the Jade Pendant and thus changed his attitude.

"It's not suitable to talk here, let's discuss this outside!"

Yang Tian activated his Spiritual Breath to seal the scene inside the Jade Pendant, then handed it over to Xu Wenting.

Xu Wenting took the Jade Pendant, a hint of doubt in her eyes, but in the end, she led Yang Tian and Li Xian outside.

Soon, the three of them arrived in a private room.

"Young Master Yang, there are no others here, can you tell me, what exactly is this creature?"

Xu Wenting asked directly.

"Celestial Demon!"

Yang Tian said calmly.

"Ah!"

Xu Wenting's face turned extremely pale and bloodless.

This caused Yang Tian to frown.

Because Xu Wenting's change in expression indicated that she seemed very innocent, completely unaware of the Celestial Demon affair.

Standing beside, Li Xian quickly reassured, "Miss Xu, don't worry, the Celestial Demon is inside the Jade Pendant, it has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is tell us where this Jade Pendant came from."

Yang Tian remained silent.

He was observing.

Unsure whether Xu Wenting had anything to do with the Celestial Demon.

When Xu Wenting heard Li Xian's words, she said to Yang Tian, "Young Master Yang, actually, this Jade Pendant was given to me by my father. Is it possible that the Celestial Demon inside is sealed within the Jade Pendant?"

Yang Tian nodded, "Alright, now take us to your father. I want to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of this Jade Pendant since it contains a Celestial Demon; it's of great importance!"

"Yes, Miss Xu, please take us to your father!"

Li Xian also realized the gravity of the situation.

After all, the Jade Pendant contains a Celestial Demon, which concerns the safety of the Great Tang.

"Gentlemen, please follow me..."

Xu Wenting then led Yang Tian and Li Xian to find her father.

On the way, Xu Wenting informed Yang Tian and Li Xian, "My father, Xu Family Seal, is the curator of the Great Tang's East Spirit Ancient Jade Hall. He has been dealing in ancient jade for decades. Five years ago, he obtained this Jade Pendant and gave it to me."

"Your father runs the Ancient Jade Hall?"

Yang Tian asked.

"Yes!"

Xu Wenting nodded and guided the two to a large ancient jade hall in the eastern part of the Great Tang's Ancient Capital.

The place was bustling, people constantly coming in and out.

The ones entering were all people of status.

After all, affairs involving ancient jade are something only people with status and standing can indulge in.

Upon arriving at the Ancient Jade Hall, the servants noticed Xu Wenting: "Miss Xu, you're back? We'll immediately inform the master!"

In a short while, a middle-aged man walked out from inside.

"My precious daughter, how come you have time to come back and see your old man?"

This middle-aged man, scholarly in appearance, was precisely Xu Wenting's father, Xu Family Seal.

"Father, let me introduce you!" Xu Wenting took Xu Family Seal's hand and introduced proactively, "Gentlemen, this is my father... Father, this is Mr. Li, and this is Young Master Yang. Young Master Yang is very skilled..."

Xu Wenting also knew that Li Xian was the Third Prince.

But seeing as Li Xian was in disguise, she didn't disclose his true identity.

Instead, she gave a detailed introduction when it came to Yang Tian.

Anyone with eyes could see that Xu Wenting had an interest in Yang Tian.

On the other hand, Li Xian was utterly helpless, glaring fiercely at Yang Tian, and using Divine Sense, he said, "Yang, I originally intended to share the affections of the Singing Lady with you, but it appears the Singing Lady is only interested in you. Since you are my father's disciple, I naturally won't compete with you."

Yang Tian patted Li Xian on the shoulder, then said to Xu Family Seal, "Master Xu, let's get straight to the point. I am here mainly because the Jade Pendant you gave to Miss Xu contains the soul of a Celestial Demon; this concerns the safety of the Great Tang..."

"The soul of a Celestial Demon?"

Xu Family Seal's face changed drastically, also realizing the seriousness of the matter: "Young Master Yang, you're investigating the Celestial Demon, right? Alright, we'll assist you in uncovering the details of the Celestial Demon!"

Hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

Regardless of whether it was Xu Wenting or Xu Family Seal, they both seemed innocent upon hearing of the Celestial Demon within the Jade Pendant.

Could it be they genuinely did not know about the Jade Pendant?

Then where did this Jade Pendant come from?

With such thoughts, Yang Tian asked, "Master Xu, where did this Jade Pendant come from?"

"This Jade Pendant was discovered by my servant while gambling stones. He found a sacred piece of jade, and I personally crafted it!" Xu Family Seal explained proactively: "Young Master Yang, please come with me, I'll take you to find this servant!"

With that, Xu Family Seal led Yang Tian and the others into the Ancient Jade Hall.

This Ancient Jade Hall was immense.

Inside, there were many sections: a stone gambling area, a jade area, and a pawn area.

Xu Family Seal led Yang Tian and the others to the stone gambling area.

The servant mentioned was the muscular man who worked in stone gambling.

"Young Master Yang, please wait here, I will call Wang over!" Xu Family Seal instructed Xu Wenting to look after Yang Tian and Li Xian, then walked away.

While Yang Tian, being idle, activated Divine Sense to probe the surrounding area.

He wanted to see if there were any gemstones similar to the one in the Jade Pendant.

But what made him frown was that he found his Divine Sense could not penetrate the stones around him.

This puzzled him.

After all, with his cultivation level, he should be able to see through all things unless these stones were exceptionally unusual!

With this thought, Yang Tian stepped forward for a closer inspection.

He soon reached a stone gambling stall, seeing over a dozen dignitaries speaking to an elderly man: "Old Liu, if you keep gambling, you'll lose the inheritance left by your ancestors. This stone gambling is not for you!"

Hearing this, Yang Tian looked towards that raw stone.

For unknown reasons, the Power Seal in his mind began to emit light again.

All of a sudden, the Power Seal attached itself to Yang Tian's eyes. When he looked into the raw stone once more, he saw through it and discovered a ruby inside.

"Will you keep gambling, Old Liu? There is a gemstone inside!"

One after another, people turned their heads toward Yang Tian, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? This raw stone has you fooled!"
