Chen Changqing took the rough cloth bundle.
The oil paper had been wrapped tightly. After he opened it, there was a yellowed semicircular piece of jade inside. The broken edge was incredibly smooth, clearly cut cleanly by a sharp weapon.
Chen Changqing pinched the Jade Pendant and sent a thread of spiritual power through his fingertips.
Buzz.
A faint glow lit up on the jade's surface, projecting several intersecting golden lines into the air. The lines flickered in and out, abruptly ending at the edges.

Li Yuanyuan nodded, her voice lowered to a whisper.

Chen Changqing tossed the Jade Pendant twice in his hand.
