Qiao Mei returned to the room and put away all the bedding into the closet. There was not much left in the house now, given that she would be staying at Xu Lan’s house for a while. She intended to take whatever she could with her and to take the opportunity to clean up the house properly during the renovation period.
Qiao Mei secretly ran to the small side room and grabbed the vines from before. She quietly pulled out the box that she previously removed from the Cao family’s jar and took out all the jade inside. Other than a few broken pieces, there were also a few carved jade pendants and a bangle. Even though they were still intact, there were crack lines in them. They would be useless after she absorbed all their energy.
Recently, Qiao Mei had discovered that the energy she could exchange with plants was unlimited until the plants died. However, there was a limit to the energy she could receive from precious stones like jade. The energy in the jade could not regenerate after it was absorbed.
Although the jade would not have any energy left, Qiao Mei’s special energy would be sealed inside and the color of the jade would become nicer. Qiao Mei found that the “air conditioner” bangle that she bought not long ago had become even more translucent than before. Although she had completely absorbed the energy inside, it would be even more valuable than before if it was put on the market now.
Qiao Mei had discovered a new way to get rich.

Qiao Mei took out the carved jade pendant with the smaller crack lines from the box, pulled it to the ground beside her and moved it to the window with the help of the vines. She held the pendant in her hand and observed it carefully. This looked like a valuable piece of treasure carved by a master, but it was a pity that there were crack lines in the corner.
After a while, the crack lines in the pendant in her hand faded. Qiao Mei rubbed her eyes and carefully examined the carved jade pendant.

“This shouldn’t be the case… There was clearly such a big crack line just now,” Qiao Mei muttered to herself as she looked at the carved jade pendant.
Qiao Mei suddenly thought of something and transferred some energy to the carved jade pendant. The last crack line disappeared and a carved jade pendant was restored to its original flawless glory!
Qiao Mei raised the pendant up against the sun and looked at it. Its color was thousands of times better than before. She did not expect to have such an effect on it.
There were familiar footsteps outside the door but Qiao Mei was still immersed in staring at the carved jade pendant.
Xia Zhe walked over and saw Qiao Mei acting all mysterious. Just as he was about to call her, he discovered the carved jade pendant in her hand.
“When did you buy it?” Xia Zhe asked curiously.
Qiao Mei indicated for him to go over to her and said, “I didn’t buy this. I saw something shiny in the soil here just now. This is what I found when I dug into the soil.”
Qiao Mei had used the vines to dig a small hole at the corner of the wall when Xia Zhe was not paying attention. Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief.
There were so many people digging this place earlier, but they did not manage to find anything. Qiao Mei were able to dig things out once they were gone. Were they not meticulous enough? Or did Qiao Mei have an extremely good eye for such things?
Xia Zhe quickly went out and dug a little more. He did not find anything and carefully filled back the hole.
Qiao Mei decided not to keep the broken items that belonged to the old man from the Cao family. It would be terrible if Xia Zhe found out that she could restore broken items. It would be even worse if the Cao family found out about it.
She did not want to tell anyone about her superpower, not even Xia Zhe.
“Hide this thing and don’t bring it out,” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei put the carved jade pendant into her pocket. She would not dare to bring it out to show anyone. It would be terrible if the old man from the Cao family saw it one day.
The two of them sat in the courtyard for the entire afternoon. They did not know much about construction, so they could only let Professor Zhu and Xia Wen worry about it.
At night, Professor Zhu and the students left to go back and rest. Xia Zhe pulled Xia Wen to one side and whispered, “There are two boxes in the middle of this courtyard. I had found them earlier.”
Xia Wen already had an idea about why Xia Zhe had been keeping an eye on the courtyard today. If there was nothing in the courtyard, Xia Zhe would have long brought Qiao Mei back to rest and relax. There would be no need for him to stay here and supervise the work!
“We can’t send anyone here to stand guard for now. He Ning’s people are nearby,” Xia Wen said as he looked up at the roof.
