Chapter 89

After lunch, the people who came to celebrate the birthday gradually said their goodbyes. Since Yang Yanzi's school had already started, Old Man Xiao Yang was originally prepared to leave as well, but he had drunk a bit too much at noon and was helped to lie down in a room. Yang Yanzi couldn't leave, and she was delighted, thinking she could play for half a day more. Wu Di only then realized that she was a second-year student at the University of Hong Kong, still a little girl, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"Now she's already so mischievous, who will be able to handle her when she grows up? I bet the guys chasing her at the University of Hong Kong line up from the teaching building all the way to the main gate. Can't offend her, keep a distance, otherwise, I'll either be tortured to death by this girl or killed by her admirers."

Wu Di took advantage of the two girls being busy seeing off guests, said goodbye to his master and Old Man Zhong, and quietly slipped out to wait for Old Man Tang. He needed Old Man Tang's help to extract the green cigarette-shaped jade, otherwise, if Zhong Qi woke up and the two of them ganged up on him, it wouldn't be a fun situation.

Old Man Tang taught Wu Di how to use the laser cutter, which was indeed very simple. Wu Di fiddled with the large white board inside, making Old Man Tang angry just by looking at him.

"Brat, using my place to practice! Didn't I just say I only carve top-quality jade? Forget it, I just received a heavy gift from him, so this time I'll let it slide."

Out of sight, out of mind, the old man went to drink tea.

Wu Di fiddled for a while and cut out a small square pillar, very close to the shape of a cigarette, which made his hand turn green when he held it. Wu Di looked through it and found no crystal particles inside the jade. The green seemed to be completely integrated, with no jarring feeling. Could this be the legendary Dragon Stone? But even if it were Dragon Stone, it shouldn't have such a strong fluorescence? If it were at night, it would be like a small light bulb.

After looking at it from all angles, he didn't dare to touch it again and hurriedly ran to find Old Man Tang, only to find that the old man was already asleep in a recliner.

Wu Di sat down in the gatehouse, pondering how to face Zhong Qi's anger that night, hoping the old man would sleep until tomorrow! Suddenly, the front door was gently pushed open a crack, and Wu Di stuck his head out to see Jiang Jialang stealthily peering into the yard.

He made a sleeping gesture and beckoned him in. Jiang Jialang mouthed that the master always took a nap in the afternoon but never this late. He came to discuss the design plan for Wu Di's fieldstone.

Wu Di handed the jade cigarette to Jiang Jialang and quietly asked him to help extract the jade. Jiang Jialang casually took it, but was shocked when he saw it, almost falling off his chair. He quickly stood up, looked at the jade in his palm, and was relieved to see it was fine.

Jiang Jialang patted his chest, still shaken, and said softly:

"We don't play like this. You pull out something so rare at once. Next time, give me a heads-up, okay?"

"What kind of thing needs a heads-up?"

Old people sleep lightly, and any movement would wake them. When Jiang Jialang came, Old Man Tang had already noticed but didn't want to open his eyes. After resting for a while, he was now up.

"Master, look, what is this? It looks like Dragon Stone but isn't. The fluorescence is so strong, is this even jade?"

Old Man Tang played with it in his hands and said thoughtfully:

"It is jade, no doubt. Seeing this stone, I remember a legend. In a hero named Aitike's adventure, he discovered a magical jade that could illuminate an area of several square meters. He named this jade 'Green Light.'"

"Aitike, a foreigner? How familiar?"

"You should be familiar, 'The Legend of the Dwarf Hero'!"

A mischievous glint appeared in Old Man Tang's eyes.

"Damn, a fantasy novel!"

Sure enough, as a disciple of Old Man Tang, Jiang Jialang quickly revealed the answer and then tightly covered his mouth.

"Swearing, Aunt Liu, the courtyard's cleaning for the next week is assigned to Jialang!"

"Sure thing!"

A strong voice came from a distance, accompanied by giggles.

Wu Di watched this harmonious scene, feeling a sense of warmth. No matter how high and mighty someone seemed to outsiders, they all had their cute side.

Old Man Tang took the jade and examined it carefully, then said:

"Come, let's take it out and see if it can be used as a light bulb."

It took nearly an hour to free the Green Light jade. Old Man Tang pulled the curtains in the studio and turned off the lights. In the darkness, the Green Light jade emitted a soft fluorescence, turning the three of them into green giants.

"Powerful! Stunning! Magical! Treasure!"

Jiang Jialang succinctly summarized his feelings.

Turning on the lights, Old Man Tang asked:

"Little Wu, how do you plan to handle this material?"

"Originally, I planned to give it to Fourth Brother as a wedding gift, but now I'm a bit reluctant. Forget it, just give it, it's just a cigarette, right?"

Jiang Jialang's eyes twinkled, and he asked slyly:

"Would you give something so rare? Let me think, let me think, there must be a problem! Oh, I get it, the only explanation is that you have more!"

Wu Di smiled bitterly:

"Brother Lang, can't you be a bit less smart? Just a little?"

"Ha, this mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave a toll! But I'm not like my master, I won't steal your treasure. As long as you let me process this material, I'll let you off!"

"Aunt Liu, the cleaning for the next next week is taken care of!"

Old Man Tang shouted and laughed:

"Actually, Jialang's attitude is the most correct for a carver. We've seen countless treasures in our lives; if we wanted every single one, we might as well not live. Instead, I, in my old age, have become too attached!"

"Ha, going with the flow is the true self. Some things simply don't have a right or wrong."

Seeing the Green Light jade seemed safe, Wu Di began to generously console.

"The shape of this material is excellent, naturally formed. It can be cut into a pendant, four ring faces, and a pair of earrings, but the accessories will require a lot of effort."

"Right, if wearing it turns you into a green-faced monster, people will definitely come after you!"

"But this natural column shape is the most beautiful pendant, any more and it would be too fat, any less and it would be too thin. Headache, real headache."

"Test the light penetration."

Old Man Tang's words woke Jiang Jialang from his thoughts. They tested water, crystal, agate, jade, gold, and silver. Only metal could suppress the green light; the others couldn't effectively control its range. This left Jiang Jialang with a bitter face.

"Let me take it to Fourth Brother first, and then bring him to see you. The wedding is in October, so there's enough time."

Wu Di said goodbye to Old Man Tang and called his godmother to take a leave of absence. His mother was very angry:

"You, more troublesome than Zhong Qi, always running around and not staying home. If you don't behave, I'll have your godfather put you in solitary confinement!"

Wu Di stuck out his tongue. Zhong Qi's solitary confinement was saved by Chang Linlin, so he needed to find an ally too. Is there a destiny between me and Wen Lan? How can I find her directly?

"Hey, hey! Are you listening? I'll deal with you when you get home!"

"Godmother, I'm driving, I promise to stay home and keep you company for a while!"

"That's better. Little Wu, Godmother has a question for you. Do you have a girl you like? Bring her over for me to see one day?"

"Godmother... I'm still driving!"

From the phone, Wu Di heard Zhong Qing giggling, and Godmother laughed:

"This Little Wu, still shy!"

Back at the villa, it was already pitch dark. Wu Di asked the nanny and headed straight for Chang Linlin's room. As he approached the door, he suddenly remembered that Yang Yanzi was probably there too. If she wanted it, how would he handle it?

Wu Di pressed his ear to the door, trying to listen to see if Yang Yanzi was there. Accidentally, his left hand touched the door, and the scene inside appeared before his eyes. He saw both women in sexy nightgowns. Chang Linlin was on the computer, and Yang Yanzi was sitting on the bed, holding a small paper figure and a needle, stabbing it viciously, muttering:

"For not playing with me, for not playing with me!"

Chang Linlin's voice suddenly rang out, much louder than Yang Yanzi's, and very clear:

"Stab a few more times for me. How dare he leave Zhong Qi alone and run away, making him still unconscious. The guys are really something, they all agreed to drink him to death. If anything happens, I won't forgive them!"

Old Man Chang tiptoed over and patted Wu Di, scaring him. He made a gesture of stabbing the paper figure and a pained face, not caring if his master understood, and lightly knocked on the door, saying:

"Sister-in-law, the gift bearer has arrived!"

Inside, there was a commotion. Chang Linlin called out:

"Little Wu, wait for us to open the door for you!"

Old Man Chang shook his head and walked away with a smile. Wu Di waited for two minutes, and the door opened a crack. Chang Linlin yawned and said sleepily:

"What's up? Big busy man, we're already asleep."

Wu Di thought to himself:

"Asleep? Sleep a ghost! If I don't come, you'll probably stab me to death!"

"Ha, the news was sudden, I rushed to prepare the gift, really, I'm not lying."

Chang Linlin let Wu Di into the room, and a wave of feminine fragrance hit him. Wu Di's heart fluttered, and he quickly recited:

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, observe all phenomena, like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning..."

"Take it out? Whether I forgive you depends on the quality of your gift."

"Hehe, guaranteed to satisfy. Turn off the lights!"

"Turn off the lights?! What for? You little rascal..."

Wu Di saw the switch, didn't say a word, and pressed it. He then took out the Green Light jade. The two women let out a gasp and were immediately drawn to the green light in Wu Di's hand. Under the soft glow of the computer screen, the green light had a different appearance, not as green, but it shone with a more mysterious and beautiful light when combined with the white light.

Chang Linlin reached out in a trance and took the Green Light in her hand:

"Is this jade?"
