The hall was dead silent, so much so that even the dropping of a silver needle could be heard clearly. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the resplendent jade plate, and their hearts remained stirred for a long while.
The plate was round, about the size of a common serving dish. Unlike ordinary plates, however, it was relatively thick, and in the center of the plate was an empty space. Its appearance resembled that of an enlarged coin.
Because it was made by a Jade Spirit, the body of the plate was completely transparent, emitting a brilliant radiance. The plate was delicately carved with auspicious patterns of pine trees and cranes representing longevity, and outlined with thin lines of light gold, which did not look vulgar at all. Instead, it was exceptionally majestic and full of charm.
"Girl Qing, this gift is far too precious. Grandpa Bai cannot accept it!" Old Master Bai carefully held the jade plate and shook his head in refusal.
