Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter After leaving Jiu Tang, Ye Mo went to Jin City as soon as he could .
The Gem Banner in Jin City was located in an antiques store street .
When Ye Mo got there, he almost thought he had come back to Luo Yue Continent's cultivation cities . The structures there were more and more ancient, and there were quite a lot of roadside stalls .
He looked at this familiar yet unknown street and lost his mind for a moment .
Ye Mo found Gem Banner quickly . He had heard Boss Luo say that the boss' surname was Pan, Pan Sheng . He was a middle-aged man in his 40s, slightly fat .
This shop was much bigger than the one in Jiu Tang, they had everything . Ye Mo scanned with his spirit sense carefully, but he was immediately disappointed . The Five Element Rock wasn't in there either .
"Is Boss Pan here? I have to talk with him about business," Ye Mo went inside and asked .
A bearded man with a ferocious-looking knife scar had come in yelling, and this immediately made everyone move away .
"Hello, Sir, our boss is out for a business meeting . He will be back tomorrow afternoon," a young man in his 20s answered . He knew that kind of people could be looking for trouble, so it was best not to leave any excuse for them to start a fight .
But Ye Mo wasn't looking for trouble . Even knowing that Pan Sheng wasn't there, he had still asked . He was disappointed .
He just had to know where the Five Element Rock was . With his means, he could take it away easily .
Seeing the ferocious man leave the establishment, the waiter breathed at ease . Although they had their own security guard, he didn't want the customer he was taking care of to get into a fight with the security .
In his boredom, Ye Mo called Luo Ying and Ning Qingxue to tell them he was at Jin City . He would return in a while, so he then started to stroll around on the antiques street .
He was trying to decide whether he should find a place to stay for the night .
He scanned his spirit sense and saw a large crowd huddling around a small square . It was a stone betting square, they were betting stone . Ye Mo wasn't interested in that - after all no matter how good the jade was, it wasn't anything to him . The money he would earn wouldn't be worth it .
The only use Ye Mo could give to jade was to set formations, but the effects weren't that good either .
Just when he was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure in a corner . Soon, Ye Mo recognized that person: it was Xu Wei . Why was she there? She looked very stressed and seemed to be crying . Had she lost a stone in a bet?
Xu Wei was a good person and he owed her a favour . She had been looking after his silver heart grass for a long time and she had stayed with Ning Qingxue for a long time . He was very grateful to her, so Ye Mo went to say hi .
"Hey, beautiful lady, why are you crying here by yourself?" he wanted Xu Wei to lighten up .
"Huh? Who are you?" Xu Wei looked at Ye Mo and quickly took a few steps back .
Ye Mo subconsciously touched his face and smiled bitterly . Everyone stared at Ye Mo and then at Xu Wei, and they assumed he had bad intentions .
But people would rather avoid trouble, so they quickly left .
Ye Mo smiled bitterly, walked up to Xu Wei and whispered, "Xu Wei, I'm Ye Mo . I'm wearing a mask right now, the beard is fake . There were people hunting me, so I'm hiding . "
"You- are Ye Mo?" Xu Wei looked at Ye Mo in disbelief .
He could only say, "We lived together in that small house in Ning Hai, did you forget?"
"Huh- You really are Ye Mo," Xu Wei finally believed him, she could recognize his voice .
Ye Mo nodded, "Why did you leave Ning Hai? I didn't expect to see you here, did something happen to you?"
Xu Wei suddenly started to cry again . She just wanted to go into Ye Mo's arms and weep .
He looked awkwardly at everyone who looked at him in contempt . He could only say in a small voice, "Don't cry, otherwise people will think I'm doing something to you . What is it? Tell me . "
Xu Wei finally stopped crying and told him the reason .
Her mother and brother were living in Jin City . Her mother had been staying at the hospital for more than a year, so she had no option but to give up her job at Ning Hai and come take care of her mother .
Her mother needed large amounts of money, and her brother needed money to study too . The family didn't have enough so her father and she had to work really hard in Jin City . However, her father's taxi was involved in a car accident and her father was blamed . They were told to pay 80,000 as compensation .
80,000 wasn't enough for her mother's sickness, but the situation just got worse then . Her brother got into a fight with someone and beat them severely, and the person asked for 100,000 as compensation . Her brother was still at the police station while they spoke .
Just when she didn't know what to do, her friend from college Xia Fangfang found her . They were pretty close and in that moment of helplessness, her opinion was very important to Xu Wei .
Xia Fangfang suggested that Xu Wei could go to bet stone to the antiques street . If she bought a stone with good jade inside, she could become a billionaire .
Xu Wei listened to this, gathered all the money she had, around 120k, and followed Xia Fangfang to this place .
Under the instructions of someone who her friend had introduced, her 120k were thrown into the water . In her despair, Xu Wei was crying in the toilet when she heard Xia Fang Fang's conversation with someone else . The person was telling Xia Fangfang that her classmate was too poor and the money she had was too little, that it was a waste of her time . It was then when Xu Wei realized that Xia Fangfang was conspiring with someone to cheat her .
Xu Wei was sad, she had nothing else left . She wanted to find Xia Fangfang, but she had been looking for a few days and she was nowhere to be seen . Her mother was running out of money at the hospital and her brother was still counting on her for the bail money .
Xu Wei knew no one in Jin City and couldn't borrow from anyone either . In her sadness, she had only left to cry there .
Ye Mo heard this and shook his head . She could even scam her friend, what else was she capable of doing? Xia Fang Fang's character was undoubtedly a big load of trash .
"How much money do you have left?" Ye Mo thought and asked .
"200 left," Xu Wei sniffed and said .
He knew Xu Wei was strong-willed and had great self-esteem, so he didn't want to lend her money . It would but a lot of pressure on her .
"Xu Wei, if you trust me, take your 200 and come bet stone with me," Ye Mo smiled . He felt it wasn't easy to make that sullen girl go back to her happy self . Xu Wei was the first person he had known here .
She looked at him and said, "Ye Mo, I only have 200 . How could I bet?"
Ye Mo smiled, "200 means that there are 200 ways of betting . Follow me . "
Ye Mo took Xu Wei into the crowd . He scanned their surroundings, the cheapest was 500 dollars but they were all empty .
