This melody, this musical style, without modern electronic music accompaniment, is very natural and sounds extremely pleasant, carrying an indescribable flavor.

At least in the modern era, you can’t hear this kind of sound anywhere.

Ye Qiu quietly recorded it with his phone.

As for the top girl at the brothel upstairs, what she looked like, Ye Qiu didn’t see, but he felt she was definitely just another figure-like creation.

Because only spirits exist without physical form, it seems to only look like figures.

Why do these spirits all look the same?

There are many reasons for that.

Ye Qiu listened to one song after another.

Unknowingly, Ye Qiu realized that it was already the next day. Now, when he looked again, he discovered it was just a barren construction site.

This place was originally surrounded by many iron sheets, all the publicity had fallen to the ground, making it seem truly desolate, completely unlike the lively scene from last night.

"Ye Qiu, where the hell did you go?"

Calling Ye Qiu was none other than Li Qianqian.

After Ye Qiu left last night, Li Qianqian waited in the room but never saw Ye Qiu return.

She thought Ye Qiu had gone somewhere.

Unexpectedly, it’s now past seven in the morning, and there’s still no sign of Ye Qiu.

In fact, when the rooster crows, the bustling Ghost Market vanishes.

It’s just that Ye Qiu sat there, entranced by the tunes he heard last night.

Wasn’t sure about the tune he recorded last night?

Could it even be played?

Ye Qiu opened it up, and indeed, it could be heard.

But, he didn’t know why, the sound seemed a bit creepy.

Ye Qiu got up from the rock, walked outside, and indeed saw no one around.

It was completely silent, not even the sound of birds or small animals.

Ye Qiu got into the car and drove away.

He drove back towards Peach Blossom Spring Villa.

Back at the villa, Ye Weidong and his wife, Ye Xue, Xiaomai, Lin Xiang, and Li Qianqian were all waiting for his return.

"Where did you go last night?" Ye Weidong asked.

"Dad, I went out for some fresh air last night."

Fresh air?

For the whole night?

"I’ll go and take a shower first."

Ye Qiu went upstairs, took a shower, and then came down.

While having breakfast, he realized that Ye Weidong, his wife, and Ye Xue had already driven away.

Now, only Xiaomai, Lin Xiang, and Li Qianqian were slowly having breakfast.

Seeing Ye Qiu come down, Xiaomai went to get him a bowl of white porridge.

"I’ll play some music for you."

Music?

What kind of music?

The three ladies were puzzled.

Nowadays, with phones, listening to music is very convenient; you can directly open a web page or download those music apps to listen.

Ye Qiu played a recording.

The three ladies thought it might be some song, but unexpectedly, it was a tune, a melody reminiscent of songs from ancient Huaxia.

This style is sung by some nowadays, but it’s not popular.

For Xiaomai and the others, for unknown reasons, in the scorching summer, it felt eerie.

"Ye Qiu, what is this tune? Sounds strange."

Strange?

Ye Qiu knew this was the dead singing to the dead.

Looking at it, normal people naturally feel uncomfortable listening to this tune.

"What do you think? Nobody sings in this style anymore!"

Indeed, no one sings like this anymore, no matter how good their voice might be.

"You, you didn’t go just to listen to this, did you? Then secretly record it to bring back for us?"

Li Qianqian asked.

Li Qianqian also felt the tune was strange.

If she heard it at night, she might not be able to sleep.

"Listened to it all night."

"Ye Qiu, the more I listen, the creepier it feels. Turn it off, please."

Now Lin Xiang felt goosebumps and shivers, a fear she couldn’t articulate.

Though she loved Huaxia culture deeply; in Malaysia’s Chinatown, she heard it before.

But felt this was different.

After Ye Qiu turned it off.

The three ladies gradually felt better, thinking Ye Qiu was peculiar. Why would he listen to this sound?

"After breakfast, I’m going to attend the Jade City’s opening ceremony; are you going to school or coming along for the fun?"

"I’m going."

Xiaomai said.

"Then hurry up, need to be there by 9:40 AM."

The ladies quickly finished breakfast, went upstairs to get dressed, and got into the car as Ye Qiu drove towards the Jiangbei Development District.

Arriving at the Jade City in the Jiangbei Development District, it was already around nine in the morning; the place was bustling.

Ye Qiu had a hard time finding a parking spot. As he walked with Li Qianqian and Xiaomai, Lin Xiang followed behind; she had never heard of this Jade City before.

As they entered, this Jade City really was quite large, mostly focused on stone gambling, while other stalls dealt in jade artifact transactions.

There were self-operated ones by Jade City and third-party private booths.

Ye Qiu didn’t expect Cai Yong to have quite the ability; so many people came to today’s opening ceremony.

"Ye Qiu, why are there so many jade stones here?" Lin Xiang asked in astonishment.

Before Ye Qiu answered her question, Cai Yong had already arrived with a large group, followed by managers from the Jiangbei Group, whom Cai Yong had recruited as high performers.

"Brother Qiu, you’re here. Are you cutting the ribbon later?"

"We’ll just watch; you handle this yourselves."

Cai Yong noticed Ye Qiu accompanied by three beautiful women and understood, while Ye Qiu wished to remain low-key.

Even though Ye Qiu had Cai Yong establish this Jade City, not many knew it was actually his.

"Ye Qiu, isn’t this Jade City also yours?" Li Qianqian asked in disbelief.

This was considered one of Jiangbei District’s major projects this year, and it was operational just after a few months.

Li Qianqian hadn’t expected that this place, having invested billions, was also Ye Qiu’s property.

What kind of wealth did Ye Qiu have?

"What? Ye Qiu, is this your property too?"

Lin Xiang was equally astonished.

Only Xiaomai wasn’t surprised, whereas Lin Xiang and Li Qianqian were genuinely stunned.

"It’s no big deal."

Ye Qiu wasn’t bothered, taking the ladies around as the place was, indeed, mainly for stone gambling and jade artifact transactions.

This is reputed to be the largest jade stone and jade artifact trading market in the Yangtze River Delta, even nationwide. The advertisement has been running for months, attracting wealthy elites.

Moreover, there won’t be counterfeit jade artifacts here; otherwise, a compensation of ten times would occur.

In such circumstances, customers were assured in purchasing jade artifacts here.

Many jade stones here are seemingly transported from Ruili, but actually, continuously sourced from Myanmar.

This aspect surpassed other jade trading cities.
