章 189: Chapter 97: Discovery (1/2)

Gongsun Jing's eyes shone faintly.

He had placed the Lost Treasure at a relatively prominent position upon the Jade Plaque, its value not particularly precious but hard to come by, requiring a fortuitous coincidence. He had long since set his subordinates throughout North Martial State to search for it, and only today had they found a result. He felt a slight relief in his heart, his expression clearing as he said,

"Speak in detail."

The burly man lifted his head upon hearing this and respectfully said,

"We brothers have searched the vast North Martial State, and even the Exquisite Antiques Pavilion had no sight of it. However, in a jade shop, we found a clue. It's really a coincidence, the brothers found a fine piece of jade, intending to sell it for some silver coins, and just so happened to encounter the shopkeeper pondering over that bead."

"Upon closer questioning, it indeed seems to be that Lost Treasure, and it appears there's quite a bit of stock."
