Chapter 5041 — Not a Second Thought

"No," Leng Leng said with a helpless shake of her head.
"I did manage to pick up a piece of jade here, though. It feels about the same as the last one—have a look." A small piece of jade suddenly appeared in Wei Zhao's hand.
"Really?" Leng Leng was startled. She took the jade at once and sensed it carefully; sure enough, it was brimming with spiritual energy—another top-grade spirit jade!
The way Leng Leng looked at Wei Zhao changed on the spot. Just what kind of luck did this man have? She had searched high and low for so long without finding a thing, yet the moment he set out he stumbled onto a top-grade spirit jade. He had already found one before, and now another—this was luck beyond all reason. People really were not to be compared.
"Where did you buy this jade? Are there any more?" Leng Leng asked hurriedly. Never mind that she was injured and needed spirit jade to replenish her spiritual energy—even in ordinary times she would never let a top-grade spirit jade like this slip by.
"Of course not. My eye for jade is very discerning. Pure jade with this kind of luster is hard to come by—finding even one piece is a stroke of luck," Wei Zhao said, shaking his head.
"Luster? This jade has a luster?" Leng Leng was rather puzzled. When she chose jade, she only ever looked at whether the spiritual energy was abundant; she never paid attention to appearance, much less carefully distinguish its luster.
"Of course. Luster is one of the most important criteria for choosing jade. Don't tell me you never look at it?" Wei Zhao said, surprised in turn.
"Uh, I don't really understand that sort of thing." Leng Leng shook her head, unable to grasp the significance but impressed all the same. Even though there was only this one piece, she was still delighted—now she would not have to worry about running short of spiritual energy, and the stone that had been weighing on her heart finally settled. She asked at once, "This jade must be very expensive, right? How much did you pay for it? I'll find a way to pay you back."
"Listen to yourself. With the kind of relationship we have, what need is there to talk about money? Never mind a mere piece of jade—even if you wanted something far more valuable, I'd get it for you without a second thought," Wei Zhao said, seizing the chance to declare his resolve.
"Really? Anything at all?" Leng Leng gave him a meaningful look.
"Of course," Wei Zhao said with a decisive nod.
"Then what if it were something very useful to you—or even of great use—would you still be willing to give it to me?" Leng Leng asked. She had assumed Wei Zhao simply did not understand the value of these two top-grade spirit jades, still less what they were good for, and took them for ordinary jade ornaments—which was why he had handed one over without hesitation. If it were something else that mattered greatly to him, he probably would not be so quick to give it away.
Leng Leng had expected that after posing such an awkward question, the other party would surely hesitate. To her surprise, Wei Zhao nodded firmly without even thinking: "I would."
Never mind that he was now courting Leng Leng—back on Thunderclap Plain Island, when he was about to step into the lightning tribulation point to break through to the Profound Ascension realm and had only a single Thunder Profound Pill in hand, he had given it to Qin Yue without hesitation. And Qin Yue was not even a friend to him, merely a passerby with some connection to him.
Wei Zhao had never been a stingy man. Whenever there was something good, so long as it benefited those around him, he would bring it out and share it with everyone without hesitation. Friends and underlings alike—so long as they could be trusted, they were no different from his close female confidantes in his eyes, and he would never hold anything back.
