Just in this place, over a dozen ebony shelves were laid out, each fully stocked with jade simples radiating dazzling, various-colored glows. The mere handful of people within the room were dispersed around these shelves, engrossed in perusing the jade simples.
When Liu Ming's gaze swept over, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
By the third ebony shelf from the left, stood an esteemed woman with a graceful figure, draped in a blue gown. With a shining jade simple pressed against her forehead, she was none other than Junior Sister Jialan.
As Liu Ming hesitated inwardly, the woman suddenly turned her exquisite head to look over, showing a hint of surprise. Then, shifting her beautiful eyes, she casually placed the jade simple back on the shelf and walked directly towards Liu Ming.
