"Bingbing, don't cry, don't cry. About the city-within-a-city quota you mentioned, I might have a way."
Ye Fei couldn't bear to see Qin Bing crying so sadly and couldn't help but speak up.
"What? Brother-in-law, what did you say? You have a way?"
Qin Bing, who was sobbing and crying, suddenly heard Ye Fei's words and lifted her head sharply, looking at him with surprise and disbelief.
"Yes! How could I forget that brother-in-law, you are the disciple of the White-Browed Taoist? If your master speaks for us, then let alone the city-within-a-city, even the Qin family of Jiangdong..." kuAiδugg
Then, before Ye Fei could speak, Qin Bing immediately said excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?"
However, before Qin Bing could finish her words, Ye Fei interrupted her instantly.
Ye Fei looked at Qin Bing with a wry smile. Seeing her expression freeze, her face streaming with tears, and her looking at him with confusion, he said again, "Do you know why I came down the mountain? I came down the mountain to break off the engagement."
"And because of the engagement, I had an argument with that old bastard before I came down the mountain!"
"At this time, let alone the fact that I have no intention of humbling myself and calling him, even if I did call him, he would only mock me and use the matter of the seven marriages to negotiate conditions with me."
At that moment, Ye Fei explained to Qin Bing.
Qin Bing's expression froze when she heard Ye Fei's words, and she became even more confused. "Then brother-in-law, what you mean is... didn't you just say you wanted to help me?"
Qin Bing still remembered that Ye Fei said he had a way and immediately pressed on.
"What I mean is, although I saw that Purple Crystal Jade Pendant earlier, its carving skill was first-class, but if I were to expertly replicate one with my carving skills, it shouldn't be difficult!"
"Don't worry, although the replica I create will be indistinguishable from the original, it will be absolutely convincing, and no one will be able to tell the difference."
Ye Fei was confident in his carving skills.
Back then, when the White-Browed Taoist forced Ye Fei to practice martial arts, the first thing he learned was carving!
In the words of the White-Browed Taoist, carving was the best way to sculpt and the best method for controlling one's strength!
If a person could learn carving well, then when they returned to practicing martial arts, it would be like a natural progression, very easy!
At first, Ye Fei didn't believe what the old man said.
However, when Ye Fei actually came into contact with martial arts, he discovered that the old man, the White-Browed Taoist, had not lied to him!
"Carve a replica that is indistinguishable from the original? Can this really work?"
Although Ye Fei spoke confidently, Qin Bing was still full of doubt.
It wasn't that she didn't believe Ye Fei, but that the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant was an item from the Qin Dynasty!
Let alone now, even during the Qin Dynasty, it was a peerless treasure!
Not to mention Ye Fei, a young descendant, even if the person who carved the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant were still alive, it would be extremely difficult to carve an identical jade pendant!
Qin Bing also had a fondness for carving, so she had some understanding and insight.
Imitation, sometimes, is more difficult than creation!
This is because when creating a carving, sometimes if one's mind is calm enough, the carving knife will carry an indescribable charm within it.
But the imitator only focuses on the external form, how can they replicate the carving person's state of mind at that moment?
Therefore, Qin Bing felt that Ye Fei's proposed solution was simply a fantasy!
"Sister Bing, you don't believe in my skills! I'm unhappy about that!"
Ye Fei looked at Qin Bing. Seeing her face full of doubt, he was immediately unhappy.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, but... but..."
Qin Bing looked at Ye Fei and was about to explain, but the words got stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to say them.
"Forget it, forget it. I was feeling sympathetic seeing you crying and wiping your tears, and I wanted to help you. But since you don't believe me, then forget it, forget it..."
Ye Fei waved his hand, not forcing it!
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry. I believe you! I believe you!"
"Anyway, there's no better way now, so let's give it a try!"
Seeing that Ye Fei was angry, Qin Bing immediately grabbed Ye Fei's hand and apologized.
"I can help your Qin family, but I can't help for free, can I? You have to agree to one condition."
Ye Fei's expression softened a little. His gaze fell on Qin Bing, and he immediately said.
"Agree to one condition?"
Qin Bing's expression froze when she heard Ye Fei's words.
She wasn't a foolish person. Seeing Ye Fei nod, how could she not know what condition Ye Fei was referring to?
"You want me to help you steal the Yin Jade?"
Ye Fei didn't know where Grandpa hid the Yin Jade, but as Grandpa Qin's most beloved granddaughter, how could Qin Bing not know?
Ye Fei's visit to the Qin family this time, and even the argument with his grandfather yesterday, was to get back the Yin Jade and break off the engagement.
Therefore, even with her toes, Qin Bing could guess that Ye Fei's condition was definitely to get back the Yin Jade and leave.
"Smart! How about it, isn't this deal a great bargain?"
"I'll help you carve the Purple Crystal Jade Pendant, and your Qin family can not only overcome this crisis but even enter the city-within-a-city!"
"At that time, your Qin family will reach a higher level! Boundless honor! You might even gain the recognition of the main Qin family of Jiangdong!"
"Conversely, if you fail this time, your Qin family might cease to exist. In that case... this marriage will also be a mere formality, won't it?"
Ye Fei looked at Qin Bing and said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, you're so despicable!"
Although Ye Fei's words made perfect sense, Qin Bing still glared at Ye Fei with great anger.
"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean I'm despicable? I'm thinking for your Qin family!"
Ye Fei immediately became displeased, wearing a shamelessly good-guy expression!
"Okay! I can agree, but I also have three conditions!"
Qin Bing was not to be outdone. After a moment of thought, her gaze fell on Ye Fei, and she said earnestly.
"Holy crap! I only proposed one condition, and you're proposing three? You little girl, how can you be so greedy!"
Ye Fei was immediately displeased and jumped up in exasperation.
"Hmph! I'm just that greedy, what can you do to me?"
Qin Bing looked at Ye Fei, looking like she had him cornered.
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, only Grandpa and I know where the Yin Jade is hidden. If you don't agree, then we'll tear up the ticket! Anyway, Grandpa said before that even if the family is gone, by tying you down as a good son-in-law, we might be able to make a comeback in the future."
Qin Bing didn't waste time arguing with Ye Fei and spoke directly.
"Fine! I can't beat your sharp tongue, little girl. Alright, alright, tell me what your three conditions are?"
Ye Fei shook his head with a wry smile and stopped haggling with this little girl, Qin Bing!
Back then, when Ye Fei came to the Qin family to break off the engagement, the old man insisted on not breaking it, and Ye Fei knew that this matter was not simple!
Now, with Qin Bing proposing three conditions, it was within reason!
"First, you must help our Qin family enter the city-within-a-city! I don't care how you do it. Even if the replica plan fails, you must help our Qin family overcome the difficulties and enter the city-within-a-city!"
Qin Bing's gaze fell on Ye Fei, and she slowly said.
"Enter the city-within-a-city? That's simple! My carving skills are the best in the world, even my master, that old bastard, admits inferiority. What about the second and third conditions?"
Ye Fei agreed readily, thinking it was a simple condition, not something difficult to accomplish.
"Second, our Qin family must acquire the newly discovered jade mine in the southern district! Because only by acquiring this jade mine can our Qin family expand and strengthen our business after entering the city-within-a-city, and become the true overlord of the jade industry in Xiling City!"
"And we haven't even entered the city-within-a-city yet, as you can see! Some people are secretly targeting our Qin family, so I need your help too."
