Chapter 0096: Accompany Us Shopping

"Old Jiao, apart from being a cultivation space, does this jade pendant have any other uses?" Lin Yi thought of the jade pendant's functions such as predicting good and bad omens, and figured that since Jiao Yazǐ was inside the jade pendant, he should know something about it, right?

"Yes." Jiao Yazǐ nodded affirmatively.

"What other functions does it have?" Lin Yi was delighted, thinking that Jiao Yazǐ indeed knew, and quickly asked.

"But I don't know the specific functions." Jiao Yazǐ shook his head: "This was personally modified by my great-uncle, and I've never worn it. How would I know? Once you can open the stone door behind, there should be detailed instructions inside, right?"

"Should?" Lin Yi asked uncertainly.

"I've never been inside the stone door, how would I know?" Jiao Yazǐ looked like he didn't know and didn't want to be asked.

"Alright..." Lin Yi was a bit disappointed, but only for a moment. He had already made great progress today. He just hoped it wasn't all a dream...

When Lin Yi woke up, it was already bright outside... It seemed to be around eight or nine in the morning. He had slept for a long time! Lin Yi couldn't help but stretch and sit up in bed.

"Wait..." Lin Yi suddenly remembered the dream he had last night! The Jiao Yazǐ in the dream and the cultivation space!

Lin Yi subconsciously felt his body. In the dream, his clothes had all turned to shreds when he broke through the first level of the Xuanyuan Zhanlong Technique.

However, when Lin Yi touched his intact pajamas, his heart sank. Could it have just been a dream? Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Originally, he thought that after finally breaking through, he could welcome the five-year period and successfully open the stone door... But was it all just a dream?

"Kid, in the jade pendant, only your spirit entered the virtual cultivation space. Your clothes naturally wouldn't be damaged outside!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Lin Yi's mind, startling him! But then Lin Yi was overjoyed! It was Jiao Yazǐ's voice!

"Old Jiao, is that you?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

"Of course, it's me," Jiao Yazǐ said: "When you communicate with me, just use your thoughts, no need to speak out loud."

"Can I do that? Old Jiao, can you hear me?" Lin Yi said in his mind to Jiao Yazǐ.

"Yes." Jiao Yazǐ replied straightforwardly.

"Old Jiao, since you can communicate with me through thoughts, why didn't you remind me earlier to enter the cultivation space in the jade pendant?" Lin Yi asked, a bit puzzled.

"Before you entered the cultivation space in the jade pendant, I couldn't establish a mental connection with you." Jiao Yazǐ huffed: "Only after you entered the cultivation space did your mind connect with it. Don't you think the jade pendant is still hanging on your body?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Yi was startled and subconsciously felt for the jade pendant on his chest, but it was gone! The jade pendant that had hung on his chest was now missing! "Where's the jade pendant? Old Jiao?"

Hearing Lin Yi's anxious voice, Jiao Yazǐ couldn't help but feel a bit smug: "The jade pendant has already established a connection with you and has now merged into your body. The jade pendant has completed the process of recognizing its master and won't be easily taken away. Normally, it will remain hidden in your body, but you can also summon it with your mind."

"Oh?" Lin Yi was taken aback, not expecting the jade pendant to have a recognition function! Following Jiao Yazǐ's words, Lin Yi used his thoughts to summon the jade pendant, making it reappear on his chest.

Soon, Lin Yi felt the jade pendant he had worn for nearly ten years on his chest, and he let out a sigh of relief, then made the jade pendant return to his body. This was good; he no longer had to worry about losing the jade pendant.

Previously, after obtaining the jade pendant, although Lin Yi hadn't publicized it, the jade pendant didn't look particularly remarkable, but he had still been afraid it might be stolen. Now, Lin Yi could finally put that worry to rest.

Thinking that everything from last night wasn't a dream, Lin Yi felt exceptionally good, especially after successfully breaking through the first level of the Xuanyuan Zhanlong Technique, which made him even happier.

After getting up, Lin Yi quickly washed up and left the room. He saw that Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were already awake, sitting on the sofa watching an animated show on TV.

Seeing Lin Yi come out of the room, Chu Mengyao just glanced at him, thinking about what had happened yesterday, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, so she shifted her gaze back to the TV.

Chen Yushu, on the other hand, seeing Lin Yi come out, her eyes twinkled, and she waved at him: "Arrow Brother, will you accompany us shopping later?"

"Me?" Lin Yi was taken aback and pointed at himself.

"Yes, to carry our bags." Chen Yushu nodded.

"Can I not?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly, carrying bags? That didn't seem like a very good job!

"Cough, cough! Tissue—" Chen Yushu pretended to cough and said slyly to Lin Yi.

"Uh..." Lin Yi was furious, thinking this girl was making a living out of this? Mentioning it every day? When would it end?

"Xiao Shu, why are you coughing? Are you catching a cold?" Chu Mengyao, hearing Chen Yushu cough and asking for a tissue, quickly handed her the tissue box from the coffee table.

"Ah?" Chen Yushu was taken aback, realizing Chu Mengyao had misunderstood, she stuck out her tongue, took a tissue, and pretended to cough a couple more times.

Lin Yi found it amusing, shook his head, and went back to his room to change clothes.

No matter what, before Chu Pengzhan gave him the mission, the only thing he could do was to continue following Chu Mengyao. Since she was going shopping, he would naturally go with her.

When Lin Yi came out after changing, Uncle Fu had just brought breakfast, which was a bowl of century egg and lean meat congee made by the hotel's chef, along with a few exquisite pickles.

Lin Yi helped Uncle Fu set the breakfast on the table, and Uncle Fu left with the dinner tray from last night. Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu turned off the TV and came to the dining room to eat.

Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, Chu Mengyao pursed her lips, wanting to call him to eat together, but she was too reserved to speak up.

"Arrow Brother, let's eat together? We'll be going shopping later, and there won't be time for you to eat by yourself!" Chen Yushu called out to Lin Yi before Chu Mengyao could speak.

Sigh! Chu Mengyao was a bit annoyed. How did Xiao Shu get there first? She had wanted to be friendly after what happened yesterday, but... she didn't get the chance to speak... Well, this was better. She was Lin Yi's employer, paying his salary. Why should she be the one to be friendly? He should be the one to be friendly to her!

Thinking of this, Chu Mengyao felt a bit more at ease.
