"Aming, you’ve arrived just in time. This brat refuses to wear the Jade Pendant, insisting on giving it to me. Make him put it on right away," the General handed the Jade Pendant to Uncle Ming. Get full chapters from novęlfire.net
Uncle Ming saw that Bai Tang had taken off the Jade Pendant, his expression changed, and he seemed even angrier.
"Haven’t I said that this Jade Pendant must not be taken off at any time? How come you still haven’t learned your lesson?"
Uncle Ming took the Jade Pendant and immediately asked Bai Tang to put it on.
Bai Tang had no choice but to reluctantly wear the Jade Pendant again....
A dark shadow slashed through the black sky, a black raven with blood-red eyes was weaving between the high-rise buildings, seemingly in pursuit of something.
But it seemed to suddenly lose direction and circled in the air for a few turns, its blood-red eyes overlooking the bustling streets below.
Eventually, the raven landed on the rooftop of a certain building.
Ye Yin stood on the rooftop, frowning at the surrounding bustling scenery, still feeling somewhat excited inside.
"Strange, why has it disappeared again? I clearly sensed it."
With a shake of Ye Yin’s figure, the raven flew away from the rooftop, continuing its search....
"It’s just superstition with you all; what could possibly happen," Bai Tang said as he tucked the Jade Pendant inside his clothes.
Truth be told, he had worn the Jade Pendant for so long that he had grown used to it. If it weren’t for the fact that the old man had been in trouble and he thought it might keep him safe, he wouldn’t have wanted to take it out.
"You’re not allowed to take it off in the future," Uncle Ming said solemnly.
"I heard you," Bai Tang replied absentmindedly.
But he couldn’t help but add, "It’s the modern age, and you still believe this thing can keep you safe."
"There are many things in this world that science cannot explain; some things are better to be believed than to be doubted," Uncle Ming said.
"Alright, alright, I got it. I won’t take it off; I’ll never take it off again," Bai Tang said.
Uncle Ming sighed helplessly, "You really don’t make things easy for people, do you?"
"I don’t. You’re the ones fussing over nothing," Bai Tang retorted.
"Fussing about you wrongly?" the General said in vexation.
"Pfft..." Bai Tang scoffed, "By the way, that Shangguan Yu just left like that? Not bothering with the Baiming Sect anymore?"
"Yes, he left. The Baiming Sect matters can’t be resolved so quickly. We’ve been investigating for several days now, and we found quite a few of their hideouts, but we still can’t find their main base and key people. However, after this incident, the Baiming Sect should lay low for a while, which is good for our Bai Family to reorganize."
"We owe a lot to General Shangguan this time. Aming, when you have the time, make another trip to Capital City to formally express our gratitude," the General said.
"Let Atang go. They are of a similar age; it’s good for them to become friends."
"I don’t want to. That Shangguan Yu seems to be brothers with Jun Moyan," Bai Tang declared, refusing any association with Jun Moyan or anything related to him.
"You’ve just become sensible recently, and now you’re throwing a childish tantrum again," said Uncle Ming, helpless but with no anger on his face. In fact, when he mentioned the childish tantrum, he even looked indulgent.
"I’m not going anyway."
"Alright, alright. If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to," Uncle Ming relented.
"Aming, don’t always indulge him. Look how you’ve spoiled him rotten; he’s even become picky with his food," the General reprimanded.
"It’s our own child, how could I not spoil him," Uncle Ming chuckled.
"Uncle Ming is the best," Bai Tang said to the General with a smug lift of his eyebrows.
"You little rascal," the General cursed without real anger.
In that dimly lit secret chamber, Ye Yin’s form consolidated into shape.
Looking at the man on the ice bed refining medicine with his own blood again, Ye Yin felt very perplexed.
