Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1250 Who Was More Powerful

"Jade, if I remember correctly, you're just an ancient jade. How could you know all these things? Or is it that you know everything? If that's the case, can you help me figure out which side is the door of the living and which is the door of the dead?" said Alex. I never expected that Jade actually understands all this. Meanwhile, I'm completely clueless about stuff related to the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements. If Jade can help me figure out where is the door of the living, that'll be perfect.

At first, Alex was merely testing the waters. He didn't expect that Jade would agree outright.

"Since you've requested me to do this, I will figure out where the door of the living is." As Jade spoke, she actually conjured three coins out of thin air.

Immediately, Jade held up the three coins, giving them a little shake. Then, she tossed them into the air. After observing where the three coins landed, a thoughtful expression appeared on her young face. "Master, I've found out where the door of the living is!" Jade exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Seeing that, Alex was overjoyed. He hadn't expected her to be so reliable at that crucial moment. I should treat her well in the future.

"Jade, how are you so amazing? You can even figure this out. Quickly, tell me how you know," asked Alex after feeling relieved that the location of the door of the living had been found.

Upon hearing Alex's praise, Jade felt a bit embarrassed. She bashfully touched her small head, her face turning red as she shyly said, "I'm not that impressive! My previous master knew all these skills. I just naturally picked them up after seeing them."

The previous master? Alex had never considered that Jade had other masters beside him. With that revelation, Alex found himself intensely curious about Jade's previous owner. Considering she knows about stuff related to the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements, could it be that Jade's previous owner was a priest?

"Tell me something." Alex deliberately asked, "Compared to your previous master, am I more capable?"

Regarding his own abilities, Alex was extremely confident. He was, after all, considered the foremost figure in both the secular world and the secret world.

Without a second thought, Jade said, "Of course my previous master was the best. He was truly extraordinary! You two can't even begin to compare. It's like the difference between heaven and earth!" From Jade's words, Alex heard a hint of disdain. Can it be that in Jade's heart, I'm really that disappointing?

Alex was somewhat upset being spoken to like that by a brat. He reached out and knocked Jade's head, saying irritably, “If I'm so terrible, why are you following me? Go on, leave. I certainly won't stop you!" Only then did Jade realize that her words were a bit too mean. However, compared to her previous master, Alex indeed fell short.

However, her previous master was over three hundred years old and had reached the pinnacle of his power. Meanwhile, Alex, in his mere twenties, had already achieved his latest state.

If he continued to develop at his latest pace, he wouldn't need three hundred years to surpass the previous master of Jade. After all, no one could compare with Alex in terms of talent so far. "Master, when it comes to natural talent, yours is the most impressive I've ever seen. Even my previous master pales in comparison to you," Jade admitted humbly.

Upon hearing these words, Alex felt much better. He gently patted Jade's head and said, "Did my slap hurt earlier? How about I buy you some lollipops to make it up to you when I go out?" Although Jade didn't know what a lollipop was, she could tell by the name that it must be something delicious, so she agreed without a second thought.

Alex chuckled secretly. Children are so easy to please. A single lollipop can win them over.

Suddenly, he remembered Stanley, and the smile on his face faded away. Without wasting any more time, Alex asked Jade, "Where is the door of the living?"
