Chapter 24: Switching Horses Midstream

  "Do you want to see?" asked Huo Xiaoxian as she munched on her strawberry flavored popcorn.

  "I want to, I really want to!" Upper Official Luo Yi nodded heavily, but the corners of his mouth were hiding a hint of evil smile.

  "Then you turn around first, I'll show it to you." The precious crescent moon pendant was now hanging from Huo Xiaoxian's neck, so taking it off wasn't very convenient.

  "Understood!" Officer Luo Yi quickly turned his head around, looking very obedient.

  The little fox fairy slowly took down the crescent moon pendant that was faintly glowing with a soft white light, then looked at it deeply, "Alright, you can turn around now."

  "Let me take a look at that pendant?" The tone of Shangguan Luo Yi's voice seemed to be asking for permission, but in reality it was not. He took advantage of Hu Xiao Xian's carelessness and snatched the pendant into his hand.

  "Hey! Be careful! That's my treasure! Don't break it for me!" Fox Little Fairy hastily warned him, that was her most precious treasure all along, and it couldn't be touched casually by anyone. If he hadn't found the fragrant grass-flavored popcorn she had eaten nine years ago, she wouldn't have let him see it.

  Shangguan Luo Yi took the crescent moon pendant in his hand and examined it, "This pendant doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about it, except that the jade quality is very good, and the floral pattern on top is also quite unique. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but at the same time, I don't think I have. In any case, this pendant should be worth a lot of money."

  Has he seen it? Maybe he can recognize the little tiger tooth. Hu Xiaoxian thought that maybe she could find the little tiger tooth through him, "Do you seem to have seen this crescent moon pendant? Is it true?"

  "Yes, it seems to have left some impression in my memory." Shangguan Luo Yi replied casually. Since this crescent moon pendant was so precious to her, he couldn't easily return it to her.

  Then Shangguan Luo Yi deliberately took out his mobile phone, pretending to make a call, and slowly got up, "Little fairy, wait for me here for a while, I have something to do, and I'll be back soon."

  。”

  "Give me back that crescent moon pendant first, then you can go out!" The pendant was still in his hand, and she was indeed very worried.

  "Don't worry, do you think I'd steal this pendant from you? I'll return it to you later, guaranteed to be exactly the same as before. If it's not, I'll hand it over to you for disposal, and you can do whatever you want!" Shangguan Luo Yi deliberately made a casual promise, only then could he do what he wanted to do next.

  "Alright then!" Huo Xiaoxian nodded helplessly and continued eating popcorn.

  Shangguan Luo Yi took the crescent moon pendant and quickly walked downstairs, then coughed lightly. The butler, dressed in black, quickly came to his front and said, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"

  Shangguan Luo Yi moved his wrist slightly, and then took a snapshot of the crescent moon pendant from every angle with his camera watch. After taking the photos, he removed the watch and said, "Immediately notify the people at Hengsheng Jade Jewelry to make one that is exactly the same as this crescent moon pendant using the best blue田 jade. Hurry! Within five minutes!"

  "Alright, young master!" The black-clad butler hastily took the camera watch and left.

  After just a moment, the steward handed over an identical crescent moon pendant to Shangguan Luo Yi's hands, "Young Master, the crescent moon pendant you wanted is ready."

  Shangguan Luo Yi let out a soft hum, "Ten seconds slower than I imagined."

  "Because the pattern on that crescent moon pendant was too complicated, it was delayed."

  "I don't like listening to explanations, it's late is late, you go down first."

  Shangguan Luo Yi was a man who was very strict with time, he didn't allow himself to be late for even one minute or one second, especially when there were still people waiting for him upstairs.

  The black-clad steward bowed to Officer Luo Yi and then retreated with great respect.

  Shangguan Luo Yi held the two moon-shaped pendants in his hands, comparing them with a faint smile. "This counterfeit is made so similarly, I don't believe you, Fox Little Immortal, can still tell them apart. Didn't you say that was a gift from Xiao Hu Ya? Didn't you say it's very precious to you? You must be dreaming if you didn't know that I've already switched them with my own. I, Shangguan Luo Yi, want you to only wear what I give you!"
