Shenwu Mingque had been silently observing every subtle shift in Meng Jianxi’s breathing and expression. She had sensed his astonishment and captured a rather intense stir of emotion within him.0

However, when Meng Jianxi’s gaze shifted away from the Divine Jade of Revelation, he wore a faint smile that was two parts humility and three parts confidence, “The Divine Jade of Heavenly Revelation is indeed an object I have longed for in my dreams, but the Coiling Dragon Seven Profound Crystal is something that prompted a figure as noble as you to deign to show up in person.
