This was a very elderly woman, wearing a handmade brown woolen hat. Underneath the hat was a head full of snow-white silver hair. She was short and frail, and with the set of old homespun clothes she was wearing, Ye Ning felt a strange sense of being transported back in time just standing there. "Are you the owner of this shop?" The old woman saw her too and, noticing the bright-colored dress she was wearing, stood up from her chair. She was truly hunched over, with her whole back nearly curving down to her knees. Without the cane she was holding, Ye Ning doubted she could even straighten up, and her face was barely visible. Ye Ning, seeing the sight of her, couldn’t help but have a peculiar feeling, as if this person didn’t come just to appraise a treasure today. So she nodded slightly and stepped forward: "Yes, I am the owner of this shop. Granny, what would you like to see?" The old woman, upon hearing this, took a small black box from the chair opposite her: "This..." "This is something that’s been in my home for a long time. I never knew what it was, so I thought to come and see." Things from home that aren’t known? Ye Ning was taken aback by these words, and she took the small black box from the woman’s hands. When she opened it, expecting to see some jade artifact or antique, what she actually saw inside was something completely unexpected! "Miss? Miss, what’s wrong?" Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥 The assistant standing next to her suddenly heard her scream, and immediately looked over in her direction. What happened to Miss? Why did she suddenly scream like that for no reason? He looked at the object that had slipped from her hands and fallen to the floor, and when he saw what had rolled out—something that looked very much like an eyeball of a Jade Bead—he was also taken aback: "Xiaojin, this is...?" Ye Ning was quite frightened, and even at this moment, her breath was still quick and unsteady. Hearing the assistant next to her also questioning, she snapped back to her senses, then crouched down, intending to pick up the item she’d accidentally dropped. But at that moment, the old woman bent over ahead of her: "Miss, don’t be afraid, this is just a Jade Bead, not a real eyeball." Her voice was a bit hoarse, sounding like a broken gong, inexplicably making one uncomfortable. Seeing this, Ye Ning finally regained her composure, and quickly forced herself to calm down, then hastily apologized to the old woman: "I’m sorry, Granny, I’m embarrassed. This thing is so realistic that it startled me just now." As Ye Ning said this, she couldn’t help casting another glance at the item in the woman’s hand, making her heart race once more. It really did look just like a freshly plucked eyeball from its socket. After putting the Jade Bead back in the box, the two returned to their seats at the small table. As the old woman explained her purpose, Ye Ning did not delay. Once they were both seated, she pretended to take out a set of tools and lay them in front of the Jade Bead, though in reality, she was examining it with her eyes. The secret of her double pupils was something she couldn’t easily show to others.
