“Xyla… Tell me truthfully. Are you an expert in rock gambling?” No matter how hard Sharon Lindt thought about it, she still felt that Xyla Quest knew a lot about rock gambling and was just keeping it to herself.
“I’ve never participated in rock gambling before, but my father occasionally did. Although I can’t say that I know everything about rock gambling, I do know a few things,” Xyla said.
Xyla was telling the truth…
She didn’t know a lot about this field, but she did occasionally listen to her father while he talked about it.
To a certain extent, she was able to remember some of the things her father said.
However, without her special vision, and if Xyla only relied on her little knowledge, she wouldn’t have been able to acquire those two pieces of great material from the auction today.
After hearing this, Sharon was even more certain that Xyla was just keeping things to herself.
In fact, Sharon believed that Xyla was just being humble when she said she only knew a thing or two.
Sharon’s level of fondness toward Xyla suddenly soared once again…
Xyla was pretty, capable, respectful toward her elders, and humble. Who wouldn’t love a daughter-in-law like her?
“Xyla… You’ve given me such a good treasure. I ought to repay your kindness. What would you like? Although I said I would pay for the material, you still ended up doing it before I could…” Sharon felt a little embarrassed when she brought this up.
“I don’t want anything. I just want you and Dad to be healthy and safe,” Xyla said with a smile.
Her words instantly warmed Sharon’s heart.
Sharon was touched. “My Xyla is such a good daughter-in-law… But you must ask for something…”
“It’s really alright,” Xyla said.
Since Xyla insisted, Sharon didn’t say anything further. Instead, she silently decided in her heart that she would give Xyla something.
As for what she would give Xyla, she hadn’t decided yet.
“Where are we going next?” Xyla looked at Sharon and asked.
“Let’s have a meal… After eating, we’ll drive around… And then we’ll head home,” Sharon said.
“Sure…” Xyla agreed decisively.
There were all sorts of porcelain items, snuff bottles, pearl necklaces, and so on…
Xyla was not at all interested in small things like these in the night market…
That was because these things were basically all some low-end handicrafts from assembly pipelines.
There was no value of collection to be spoken of…
Sharon also had little interest in these items, but due to boredom, she still grabbed Xyla’s hand and wandered through the stalls. Occasionally, Sharon would pick up small objects and look at them aimlessly.
Whenever Sharon did so, Xyla would simply accompany her.
However, when Xyla’s gaze unintentionally landed on a purple clay teapot in a small store-owner’s hands, she couldn’t help but do a double take.
This purple clay teapot was much darker in color than ordinary purple clay teapots.
It looked like a layer of encrustation.
Moreover, it was a very thick layer of encrustation.
