A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Chapter 243 Nian Nian, please do me a favor...

On Nian Nian's side in the modern world, it is currently a beautiful weekend with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily by, as light and lovely as a mirror.

In this lazy and pleasant time, Niannian was like a kitten that had lost its vitality and energy, listlessly and boredly slumped down.

Leaning against the exquisitely crafted swing in the Fu family garden.

The dappled shadows of the trees filtered through the leaves, scattering across her body in scattered patterns.

This created streaks of light and shadow, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, which, when viewed from afar, resembled a beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful painting.

However, in this tranquil and beautiful atmosphere, a crisp and melodious cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

The sudden sound shattered the tranquility like a sharp sword.

Niannian frowned slightly, and reluctantly extended her right hand, slowly reaching into her pocket.

After some searching, I finally managed to get the phone out of my pocket.

When she looked closely and saw that the caller ID on the screen was actually Xu Junyan's grandfather, a look of surprise flashed across her delicate face.

However, she quickly regained her senses and pressed the answer button at lightning speed.

"Hello, Grandpa Xu, what can I do for you?" Niannian's voice sounded slightly puzzled and weary.

Immediately following the call came Xu Junyan's slightly urgent voice: "Niannian... I have something very important that I need your help with!"

Upon hearing this, Niannian frowned deeply, wondering to herself what kind of trouble would come to her for help.

What kind of big help could she possibly provide?

Shouldn't we ask our experienced and capable grandfather for help with something this important?

Thinking of this, she could no longer suppress her doubts and simply asked directly:

"What is it that you're so anxious to ask me for help with? I don't think I have the ability to solve it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Junyan quickly waved his hands and shook his head in denial, saying firmly:

"No, no, no, Niannian, this task really can only be completed by you! No one else can do it!"

His affirmative answer only fueled Niannian's curiosity, making her feel like her heart had been scratched by a cat's claws, itching unbearably.

???

She pressed on impatiently, "Oh, stop keeping me in suspense! What is it?"

Xu Junyan paused for a moment, seemingly to gather his thoughts, before beginning to explain to Niannian in an orderly manner:

"Here's the thing, the batch of gold bars from the Guangling period that you sold before is confirmed to be auctioned at the auction center this afternoon."

I especially hope that you will represent us and personally go to the site to oversee and direct operations.

!!!

Oh! So it was that batch of gold bars...

After hearing these words, Niannian was stunned, completely bewildered, and her face was full of confusion. She continued to ask, puzzled:

"But...why does it have to be me who goes?"

Could it be that the gold bars recognize people?

Xu Junyan's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a mysterious smile. His voice seemed to come from a distant place, filled with an air of mystery:

"Hehe, this is all thanks to the red jade pendant you're wearing around your neck!"

That's a rare and precious item, as long as you wear it to the auction venue;

Those seasoned veterans who deal with antiques every day will definitely be so astonished their jaws will practically drop, and their eyes will practically pop out of their sockets!

After hearing Xu Junyan's words, Niannian frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.

She asked softly, "Grandpa Xu, do you want me to go to the auction to make a good impression? But I know absolutely nothing about antiques."

And that red jade pendant… is it really that powerful?

Niannian always thought it was just an ordinary red jade pendant given to her by Brother Yun Jing...

At that moment, Xu Junyan on the other end of the phone let out another hearty laugh.

His tone still carried a hint of mystery that was hard to fathom: "Niannian, you must not underestimate this jade pendant!"

It is not comparable to ordinary jade; it is a rare treasure left over from the Guangling Kingdom period. Having weathered the vicissitudes of time, its value is simply immeasurable.

If those old guys who have been in the antique world for many years see it;

I bet they'll all be staring at each other like hungry wolves eyeing a fat sheep, their eyes gleaming.

So, all you need to do is wear it properly, sit there confidently, and your aura will naturally be powerful enough.

However, after listening, Nian Nian's concerns were not completely eliminated, and she still seemed somewhat hesitant:

"But... Grandpa Xu, I really know very little about these things. What if I accidentally make a mistake?"

Xu Junyan comforted her, "Don't worry, Niannian. You don't need to do anything. Just sit there and wear the jade pendant. I'll take care of the rest."

I've already spoken to your maternal grandfather, and he agrees to let you go.

Niannian frowned slightly and sighed deeply. What should she do? But thinking of Grandpa Xu's firm attitude, she knew that she could not shirk this responsibility.

So, she gritted her teeth and finally nodded helplessly, saying, "Alright, Grandpa Xu, in that case, I'll go."

But you must promise me that nothing untoward will happen to me on this trip!

Xu Junyan burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this, patting his chest and saying, "Haha, Niannian, you can rest assured!"

With me here, nothing will go wrong. I'll arrange for someone to send a car to pick you up at 2 PM this afternoon.

"Beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Niannian slowly lowered her head and looked at the red jade pendant she was wearing on her chest.

The jade pendant was crystal clear and as pure and flawless as mutton fat jade.

Its color is as warm and smooth as jade, radiating a soft and charming glow.

Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to discover that a beautiful phoenix pattern is meticulously carved on the jade pendant;

The phoenix, with its wings outstretched as if about to take flight, was so lifelike that it seemed ready to break free from the jade pendant at any moment.

As Nian Nian gazed intently at the jade pendant, a strange feeling welled up within her.

"Is Brother Yun Jing's jade pendant that important...?"

She murmured softly, and suddenly some fragmented and blurry images flashed through her mind.

Those images are like twinkling stars in the night sky, fleeting and difficult to capture in their entirety.
