Liu Liangmei was taken aback, and Lou Yijing did not expect Jiang Chen to test the authenticity of the jade pendant in this manner. When Jiang Chen opened his palm again, the Shuangyue Jade Pendant had already turned to powder.
The air suddenly fell silent. Lou Yijing's expression was clearly off as she looked at Jiang Chen, but his face remained unchanged, making it impossible for her to discern his mindset.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? This Shuangyue Jade Pendant can't withstand your strength," Lou Yijing hurriedly spoke, her tone filled with regret.
"Although I have never seen the Shuangyue Jade Pendant, since it is a treasured item of your Zhai Yue Pavilion, could it really be so ordinary? Were all the past Zhai Yue Pavilion Masters fools?" Jiang Chen said lightly, his gaze towards Lou Yijing sharp.
"Uh..." Under Jiang Chen's piercing gaze, Lou Yijing felt like a balloon, his eyes pricking at her nerves and making her anxious. But now, she couldn't possibly admit anything.
"I truly don't know about that, Mr. Jiang. In fact, I also felt that this Shuangyue Jade Pendant isn't a precious jade stone; it might just be a sort of token for us at Zhai Yue Pavilion. As for its deeper significance, I think it's too abstract to be real. If you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Liangmei," Lou Yijing replied calmly.
Liu Liangmei smiled awkwardly. To be honest, while she was shocked that Jiang Chen crushed the Shuangyue Jade Pendant into powder, she also found it quite normal that it could be broken. The pendant had a mystical significance behind it, but in reality, there was nothing extraordinary about it; it didn't glow or radiate heat or cold—it was just cold and made of rough stone.
A few days ago, when Liu Liangmei mentioned the Shuangyue Jade Pendant and saw how interested Jiang Chen was in it, she truly found it strange. Did he really believe in the existence of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm and fantasize about gathering the Seven Divine Artifacts to open its door?
Decades ago, the Hidden Sect sparked a craze for finding the door to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm; Liu Liangmei had heard about it. So many Hidden Sects had no leads at all, and now so many years later, ancient traditions in Huaxia were fading away. The legend of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm had been forgotten by most people; no one had the energy or patience to search for it anymore.
As for the Seven Divine Artifacts, finding them all was akin to climbing to the heavens. Not to mention that even if one did find all seven artifacts, whether they could open the door to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm remained uncertain.
Jiang Chen scattered the powder of the Shuangyue Jade Pendant from his hand and looked at Lou Yijing with a smile. "Take out the Shuangyue Jade Pendant. I don't have the patience to play along any longer."
Lou Yijing felt as if she were completely exposed under Jiang Chen's gaze with no secrets left to hide, yet she still intended to deny everything. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Chen added another remark.
"Think carefully before you speak; there's only one chance. I don't want to kill you right now, but don't force my hand."
"Killing me? Mr. Jiang, that's quite an arrogant statement," Lou Yijing replied in surprise; Jiang Chen truly never failed to astonish her with his words.
Jiang Chen's expression darkened slightly as he reached out with his hand. The surrounding air seemed compressed as a phantom hand grasped Lou Yijing's neck directly from a distance.
Lou Yijing was a master in the Martial Arts Divine Realm with profound skills; she stood at the pinnacle of martial arts on Earth. Yet Jiang Chen casually restrained her neck from afar with ease.
