Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 493: Serves You Right

The comb was made of white jade, translucent and flawless, with a napping cat carved at each end, clearly of immense value.

Ji Zhangzhuo quickly estimated the value of these items.

Having participated in "Treasure Appraisal Storm," he already had quite a good understanding of this world’s antiques.

Some of these jade ornaments were from the same period as the Listening Wave Sword.

The Listening Wave Sword wasn’t crafted by a famous master, and it was a weapon meant for viewing, not playing or wearing, yet it was appraised at such a high price. These jade ornaments must be worth even more.

Moreover, there were some from even before the Listening Wave Sword era, which were even more valuable.

A young man who once nearly owned a country, now impoverished, reached out to try and grab Tantai Yi’s hand. After being avoided, he didn’t mind and said emotionally, "Junior brother, you’ve got a few houses worth of jade on you!"

As long as he sold these jade ornaments, he could lay back and rely on his younger brother.

Terms like ’relying on parents’ and ’relying on younger siblings’ were things this former prince learned online.

Tuanzi wasn’t that quick to react.

Seeing the white jade comb, she exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t this the one Miaomiao used to comb her hair?"

Tantai Yi handed over the comb.

"Master let me bring it."

Tuanzi delightfully accepted the comb, "This kind of comb is the best, Master is so thoughtful."

After a pause, she flashed a brilliant smile at Tantai Yi, "Thank you, Senior Brother, it must have been hard to bring these things over, Miaomiao didn’t manage before."

Previously, Master had carefully packed her luggage, but when she time-traveled, she couldn’t bring anything except the clothes she was wearing. All the gold, silver, and the wooden sword Master made, it broke her heart!

There was even a roast chicken specially baked by Master in the bundle!

Duan Xiayou and Ji Zhangzhuo came back to their senses, too.

"Yeah, you can’t bring external objects when time-traveling."

Before Duan Xiayou traveled again, he was already a discarded princely heir, his living conditions weren’t good, and his clothes were simple. Besides the Spirit Jade, he only wore a jade pendant for pressing clothes at the time.

As a result, when he traveled to Master’s time, that jade pendant couldn’t come along, naturally, he only had the Spirit Jade to use in the modern times.

Ji Zhangzhuo had a similar experience.

Anticipating betrayal, he pre-planned his escape route and brought some money, but when he time-traveled, all the money was left behind in the original world.

The two poor men watched with red eyes as Tantai Yi brought over the gold and jade ornaments. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"People, oh people," Ji Zhangzhuo sighed deeply, "are indeed different!"

Duan Xiayou echoed: "Truly different."

Tantai Yi: "..."

Gu Cheng had been silently observing those gold and jade ornaments.

He noticed those bracelets. Generally, these types of accessories were worn by women, but these golden bracelets were the size of an adult man’s arm, more like they were custom-made.

Moreover, every golden bracelet was encrusted with so many pearls and gems, extremely flashy, which didn’t fit Tantai Yi’s temperament at all.

"Were they specially prepared by Master?"

Though he had never met the Master whom his sister and the others greatly respected, he treated the Master with utmost reverence in his heart.

"That’s right."

Tantai Yi finally had the chance to explain.

Even though the language was concise, he got straight to the point.

"Back then, among the Spirit Jade that Master dug up, some fragments remained. When I found Master, he had stored them among the fragments for a long time."

Spirit Jade could help a few individuals to time travel, but it only recognized people, not objects. Bringing along your clothes was already being polite; if you wanted to bring anything else, that would be dreaming.

Yet Master’s way was more like infusing those gold and jewels with the aura of the Spirit Jade. No matter whether they could be treated as people or not, as long as the space-time acknowledged them, they could travel, and that would be a success.

Ji Zhangzhuo slightly opened his mouth, gave a thumbs up, "Ginger gets spicier as it ages indeed."

He enumerates Master’s shrewdness.

"First, prepare so much Spirit Jade as a backup for each of us. Then, temporarily change the plan and let us reclaim the Listening Wave Sword through financial means, and now money has been sent to us again!"

He wiped nonexistent tears.

Tuanzi looked at him with disdain.

"Second Brother, your acting skills are terrible, even Second Brother would despise them."

Ji Zhangzhuo immediately put down his hand, picked up a bracelet with a smiling face.

This gaudy golden bracelet, with its pearl and jade embellishments, was very much to his liking!

Tantai Yi looked at Gu Cheng, his face expressionless, his tone very earnest.

"Is this enough to buy that house?"

"Definitely enough."

Gu Cheng had recently been preparing to shoot a costume film and had seriously studied the prices of some genuine items. Upon learning, he found their production couldn’t afford to buy or rent them, and if broken, the budget would be insufficient, so he planned to find someone to make replicas.

"I’ll contact Qize to help introduce sales channels."

Gu Qize often helped Gu Yu buy antiques and knew many people in the relevant industry. To dispose of them quickly, it would require finding someone skilled in trading with resources on hand, otherwise, waiting for an auction might take too long, and they may not even find the right buyer immediately.

Gu Cheng was very quick to act, but Gu Qize was even quicker. He asked him in the morning, and by noon, Gu Qize called, saying he had found a buyer.

"Boss Xu is very interested in jade ornaments from that era and wants to buy as many as there are available."

This implicitly meant that Boss Xu wasn’t short of money.

Having set the time, Gu Cheng hung up the phone, turned his head, and saw Ji Zhangzhuo excitedly lifting his sister up onto his shoulders, running around.

"Miaomiao, we can buy a house now!"

Tuanzi wasn’t afraid of heights or falling, she simply let go of both hands, waving them in excitement.

"Buy the house, buy the house! Master is the best!"

Ji Zhangzhuo ran outside like an unrestrained horse.

"Master is the best!"

He was a bit overexcited.

Tantai Yi watched expressionlessly and once again thought Master had made an error in judgment.

Just as he was about to turn his head, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he lifted his hand with a swift motion.

At the same time, Ji Zhangzhuo, overly enthusiastic, charged straight outside, completely forgetting there was someone perched on his shoulders.

Tuanzi was still twisting left and right, her head was about to knock into something when the system cried out anxiously.

"Ah!"

Ji Zhangzhuo exclaimed shortly and stopped, and Tuanzi barely saved her head.

"Whew, just in the nick of time."

Tuanzi, still in shock, touched her forehead, then hugged her second senior brother’s head, looked down, and upon seeing his frozen legs, her mouth gaped open.

"Second Senior Brother, you’ve turned into an ice sculpture. How come there are ice sculptures in June?"

The baby’s face went white, and he gritted his teeth, "It’s your third senior brother’s doing!"

Tuanzi quickly looked back and found Tantai Yi’s face impassive. She quickly jumped down, delightedly patting Ji Zhangzhuo’s legs.

"So cold, so fun!"

Ji Zhangzhuo, in his aggravation, mustered his inner strength to dispel the chill.

Once free, he planned to settle the score with the new junior brother.

Duan Xiayou lay with closed eyes, hugging his sleep pillow, lazily flipping over on the sofa, as if sleep-talking, "Serves you right."
