"What does Mr. Xu mean by this? Isn't this a gift for Madam Gong?"
"It shouldn't be, right? If it's not a gift for Madam Gong, why would Mr. Xu bring it here?"
"Maybe he just wants us... to admire it?"
The guests were all puzzled.
Old Master Gong feigned anger and said, "Old Xu, what do you mean by this, are you playing with me?"
However, he wasn't truly angry with Mr. Xu, knowing that Mr. Xu surely had more to say.
Madam Gong also remained calm and composed; this gift was overly precious, and even if Mr. Xu intended to give it to her, she felt unworthy of receiving it.
Mr. Xu laughed heartily and said, "Don't be upset just yet. This gift isn't mine, but it is indeed meant for Madam Gong. Such a precious thing as the Golden Blood Jade could never be mine; I only helped with the carving. In this lifetime, to meticulously extract the Golden Blood Jade from its stone and to personally carve it into a universe, I can die without regret!"
