Chapter 6 The Copper Coin
The Yaos looked at Xiao Shun in silence.
Song Zhenhai’s words raised doubts in their mind. They couldn’t help wondering if the good-for-nothing was really a low-key genius.
Sun Guoli noticed the awkward atmosphere, afraid his song’s marriage would be ruined. Therefore, he mocked loudly, “Seriously? Xiao Shun might have found something coincidentally to cure Mr. Song. Why don’t you tell us more about your copper coin? How dare you send Mr. Yao such a shabby gift at his birthday banquet! What an unfilial grandson-in-law!”
His words reminded others and lit up the Yaos’ eyes.
The Yaos echoed him. They could never accept a known dead loss to become a genius suddenly.
“Exactly! What’s your explanation for the copper coin? Even if you are a talented doctor, as Mr. Song said, didn’t you purposely want to ruin Grandpa’s birthday banquet by giving him such junk?” Yao Han snapped excitedly as if he had caught something on Xiao Sun.
Song Zhenhai and Song Linger kept silent. They came to express their gratitude to Xiao Shun, but surprisingly, they witnessed the Yao family’s private affairs.
Song Zhenhai wished Xiao Shun to be kicked out by the Yao family. Then he could take Xiao Shun in immediately.
Xiao Shun, however, chuckled. He picked up the copper coin on the table and said, “You suddenly seem to care about this coin so much. No problem. Keep your eyes open, snobs!”
As he finished his words, a trace of spiritual energy rushed out of his fingertips to wipe the coin’s oxide layer, which rustled and fell to the ground.
The pattern of the coin was revealed immediately.
The cooper coin was as green and crystal as jade. In the middle, there were traces of blood flowing around.
The change happened in only a few seconds, and all the onlookers gaped.
“My good lord!” Song Zhenhai exclaimed and pounced at Xiao Shun.
He asked in a trembling tone, “Dr. Xiao… this… this… May I have a closer look, please?”
“Of course.” Xiao Shun tossed the coin to him, and Song Zhenhai hurriedly caught it.
Another man also reacted fiercely–Ouyang Zheng. He rushed up to Song Zhenhai, studying the copper coin with him.
When Song Zhenhai recognized the coin, his pupils constricted, and his hands trembled. He muttered, “My gosh… This… This coin had become a jade from a cooper. The blood in the coin could enable the owner to see the celestial and spirits.”
Ouyang Zheng also widened his eyes, sighing in compliment.
Then he added, “The previous owner of this copper coin must be a man of great sanctity. The coin is priceless. To value it, I’m willing to spend 200 million dollars to buy it without hesitation. I-I didn’t expect to miss such a treasure earlier. I thought I had been the wisest. I was so wrong.”
Holding the coin, Song Zhenhai suddenly turned the other side up. When he saw the lotus blossom, his heart trembled.
He couldn’t help wondering if this coin belonged to the master he guessed.
When the two old men raised their heads, looking at Xiao Shun in the shock of life.
Under others’ gazes, Ouyang Zheng, the man of status, bowed at Xiao Shun respectfully and asked in a trembling voice, “Mr. Xiao, did this coin belong to Master Lotus?”
His words drained the blood from Yao Zhenshu’s face.
Yao Zhenshu couldn’t help trembling, holding his walking stick to keep his balance. He asked with difficulty, “Mr. Ouyang, are you serious?”
Yao Han didn’t know what they were talking about, frowning unhappily.
“Just a shabby copper coin from some Taoist. What’s so good about it? I can find a bunch of them in any Taoist temple.”
“Pak!”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Yao Zhenshu slapped him across his face violently.
“Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!” Yao Zhenshu paced the floor with the walking stick, fear written all over his face.
Covering his cheek, Yao Han looked at him with a baffled expression.
He was Yao Zhenshu’s favorite grandson. No one had ever scolded him. However, his grandfather slapped him in public.
Noticing the anger on Yao Zhenshu’s face, Yao Han stood aside in dismay.
However, he blamed Xiao Shun for everything and hated him.
Yao Zhenshu asked with mixed feelings, “Did this coin belong to Master Lotus for real?”
The younger generations might not know anything about Master Lotus, but people the same age as Yao Zhenshu and Ouyang Zheng had heard a lot about Master Lotus’ legends. After all, he was like a celestial back then.
Although they had seldom met real-life superheroes, they knew those superheroes did exist.
The martial artists were part of them, and so were the mysterious martial artist families.
Ten years ago, one influential family wished to become the king of Hamana because they had many martial artists. They also wanted to defeat Master Lotus and smash his Taoist temple. They spread the news that Master Lotus faked everything. One day, they gathered all the talented martial artists in their family to Ravenclaw Cliff.
Master Lotus defeated them by only flicking his hand leisurely as if he was dusting the table.
When he flicked his hand, heavy pressure emanated like the thick, dark clouds from the sky.
Although only a few people knew the details, that influential family declined from that day. Gradually, they vanished from the world.
From then on, Master Lotus became a celestial in the civilians’ hearts.
Song Zhenhai snorted, “If you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself. The lotus blossom is like a real one, and its petals seem to be shaking. Who’s so capable of faking the spirit? Your Yaos are indeed stupid.”
Yao Zhenshu hurriedly walked up and checked on the coin hesitantly. Shortly after, his expression changed dramatically. Song Zhenhai didn’t lie.
The lifelike lotus blossom was Master Lotus’ sign.
It was said this lotus blossom was also embodied on his clothes and hands. That was why he was called Master Lotus.
The copper coin used to belong to him, but Xiao Shun presented it as a birthday gift. It was indeed a priceless present.
With this coin, the owner could talk to the senior levels of all kinds of life and become the most influential person in Hamana.
Xiao Shun was amused. The coin was a small toy that his master usually played with. If those old men saw his master’s collections in the bamboo cabin, he was sure they would black out.
Ouyang Zheng briefed others on Master Lotus’ legends, and the Yaos were shocked. They couldn’t believe such a celestial had ever appeared in this world.
“Holy shit! That’s too fucking dramatic. It sounds like a dream.”
“Our Wradeogon had thousands of years of history. Of course, there are countless real-life superheroes.”
“Where does the Yao family’s grandson-in-law come from? How could he manage to present such a legendary treasure? If this is used with other treasures, the owner will surely live long and healthy. It’s hundreds of times better than the ginseng earlier.”
