NOVEL NEXT Chapter 111: Exceptionally Gifted
Several senior sisters teased each other.
Wang Ye straightaway opened Xia Qingxin's gift.
Inside was a pendant.
A necklace.
The chain was exquisitely made, even those who knew nothing about the material could feel its beauty and delicacy upon seeing it.
Yet, the chain was merely an accessory, the main attraction was the pendant.
Song Wei looked at the pendant, her beautiful eyes instantly narrowed, perhaps others didn't notice, but Song Wei, with her keen sight, easily recognized it.
The pendant was carved from a Dragon Stone species.
"Dragon Stone species, this is actually Dragon Stone species..."
Surprised in her heart, Song Wei couldn't help but voice her astonishment, even though she owned a jewelry store in the province and had never seen Dragon Stone species before.
She could only learn about Dragon Stone species from documentation and marvel at its delicacy, as smooth as jade.
But she had never expected to see Dragon Stone species today, especially within the gift Wang Ye gave to Xia Qingxin.
"Dragon Stone species?"
The other senior sisters of Wang Ye, who didn't have as good an eye as Song Wei, couldn't recognize it even though it was right before them.
But as soon as Song Wei spoke out,
these senior sisters, even if they didn't want to know, could not ignore that the gift Wang Ye gave Xia Qingxin was a pendant carved from Dragon Stone species.
And Xia Qingxin, when she heard the words "Dragon Stone species," slightly furrowed her brows, picked up the pendant, and stuffed it back into Wang Ye's hands while saying, "Dragon Stone species, do you know how precious Dragon Stone species is?"
"You also know, your Fifth Senior Sister, what status she holds, she oversees a jewelry store in the province, and in terms of jewelry, she does better than the Fang Family's jewelry business."
"Even so, your Fifth Senior Sister still expressed surprise upon seeing the Dragon Stone species pendant, so you can see how precious Dragon Stone species is."
"Since Dragon Stone species is so precious, then Senior Sister, shouldn't you be happy about receiving this Dragon Stone species pendant?"
Wang Ye asked Xia Qingxin, puzzled.
Since Xia Qingxin knew how precious the Dragon Stone species was, him gifting it to her should have deeply moved his Senior Sister, so why was there a hint of blame in her tone when she spoke to him?
"You, you oh you."
Xia Qingxin got up, looking at Wang Ye with a face that reeked of disappointment and tapped on his head a few times with her delicate fingers: "Since Dragon Stone species is so precious, you should have given the Dragon Stone species pendant to Su Wanqing instead of to us."
Xia Qingxin looked at Wang Ye, and patted her forehead, truly heartbroken over Wang Ye's lack of emotional intelligence.
"Senior Sister..."
Wang Ye explained to Xia Qingxin: "Don't worry, the piece of Dragon Stone species I got is quite large, the Dragon Stone species gift I've prepared for Su Wanqing is already ready, even after setting aside a part for you all, I still have some left."
"You prepared it for Su Wanqing?"
"You prepared them for them too?"
"You still have some left?"
The words Wang Ye uttered shocked all six senior sisters once again.
The most shocked was Song Wei.
The other five senior sisters knew how precious Dragon Stone species was, but they lacked a concrete understanding of it.
But Song Wei was different.
Song Wei knew how precious the Dragon Stone species was and had an accurate understanding of it.
She also knew that even if one found the Dragon Stone species, they were usually very small, and being able to carve a pendant from one was already impressive.
Yet, Wang Ye claimed that his piece of Dragon Stone species not only furnished pendants for all seven of them but had also prepared something for Su Wanqing.
For a moment,
due to her shock, Song Wei even began to waver in her thoughts.
Was this really from the Dragon Stone species?
How could the real Dragon Stone species be such a large piece?
"Big sister, may I take a look at this pendant?" Song Wei asked, looking towards Xia Qingxin.
Upon hearing Song Wei's request, Xia Qingxin smiled and replied, "You want to see it, just take a look. Among us sisters and brothers, what's there to be polite about?"
Song Wei picked up the pendant Wang Ye had given to Xia Qingxin and examined it in her hand, the Dragon Stone species pendant emanating a soft glow.
Although the green wasn't very rich, it gave a sensation like ripples on water, the tender feel of the Dragon Stone species was almost irresistibly lovable.
It even made one lament that if a girl's skin felt like the Dragon Stone species, how perfect that would be.
After examining for a while, Song Wei inhaled sharply and said, under the gaze of Wang Ye and a few senior sisters, "It's really carved from the Dragon Stone species!"
Since the first pendant was truly carved from the Dragon Stone species, there was no need to check the rest; they definitely were authentic.
Song Wei trusted Wang Ye's words even more.
Feeling amazed, Song Wei looked at Wang Ye and asked, "How did you get so much of the Dragon Stone species?"
Wang Ye explained how he had gone to Wanlong Jewelry and found a stock of raw Dragon Stone species there.
After hearing Wang Ye's explanation, Song Wei's view of him had already begun to change.
Before this, Song Wei had still thought of Wang Ye as that little junior brother from the mountains who knew nothing and came to her for advice.
Now it seemed
that Wang Ye had progressed a lot on the mountain after his senior sisters had descended, and even in appraising treasures, he had surpassed her.
After all, even for her, trying to find raw stones containing Dragon Stone species among a large assortment would be an extremely difficult task.
And she might not even manage to do so.
However, Wang Ye had managed to accomplish this.
"Hmph!"
With that thought in mind, Song Wei pursed her lips in slight displeasure, "Master is really biased, teaching you so many things, making you better than me in appraising treasures."
"It's clearly because I have a unique talent," Wang Ye scratched his head, his tone not so much boastful as just stating a fact.
"Yeah right," Song Wei scoffed.
Chen Li, however, joined the conversation saying, "The little junior brother indeed has great talent. At the time when master was teaching us, he would only teach one thing to each person. However, junior brother, by simply listening by our side, managed to learn everything that master had taught us."
"Therefore, master started teaching all he knew to the little junior brother. Throughout this process, the junior brother didn't fall behind in any subject."
"Although there were times when, because of suddenly learning so many things, he had to ask us about them afterwards, he would quickly grasp them and catch up."
After Chen Li finished his remarks, the other senior sisters also agreed in turn.
The way they looked at Wang Ye was as if they were regarding a genius.
