496 Saving Another Person Was Worthwhile
“Jiuyue, come sit here.”
Qian Jiyun found two large rocks and patted one of them, waving at An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue walked over immediately but did not sit down. Instead, she placed her palm on the stone to feel its temperature.
She did not want her butt to suffer. What if the stone burned her?
However, to her surprise, the stone did not feel hot. Instead, it felt cold. She looked at Qian Jiyun, puzzled. The stone constantly emitted heat waves, but why was it not hot?
Qian Jiyun seemed to have read her mind and explained, “This is the Ice Heart Stone.”
An Jiuyue blinked. She seemed to have heard of this stone before.
She could not remember where she had heard about it. She recalled hearing someone in the Lan family mention it when she was still Lan Zhitong. But who was it?
“Oh right, I remember now. I heard my mother mention that the Ice Heart Stone is a special stone that can only be found in the Fire Domain. It won’t heat up even if it’s burned by a raging fire.”
At the mention of An Jiuyue’s mother, Qian Jiyun recalled the woman who put her life on the line and pounced on him, saving his life.
Her daughter was the person she could not bear to leave behind on her deathbed.
In the end, she even told him that now that her life had come to an end, saving another person was worthwhile.
He couldn’t understand what kind of mentality could lead a mother, who was devoted to her daughter, to say such things. Was death her only resting place?
Now he learned from An Jiuyue that her mother knew about the Ice Heart Stone and the Fire Domain!
Had she been to Huayan Peak too?
Otherwise, she would not have known about the Fire Domain, let alone the Ice Heart Stone.
He suppressed his doubts and asked An Jiuyue, “What else did she say?”
An Jiuyue thought for a moment and replied, “She said that the Ice Heart Stone can be used to refine armor if you meet a powerful craftsman. Then you don’t have to be afraid and can advance freely, even in the Fire Domain.”
Although this had happened many years ago, she still remembered this scene.
Upon hearing that, Qian Jiyun thought, “I knew it. If I’m not wrong, An Jiuyue’s mother is also from Huayan Peak, right?”
He had heard a legend about another person who left Huayan Peak with An Tu. It was merely a legend. No one had ever seen that person.
Could it be An Jiuyue’s mother?
However, this was just a wild guess. He could not find anything now that they were both dead.
“Then let’s take these Ice Heart Stones with us,” he said.
“Hm?” An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Jiyun. “I don’t know how to forge.”
She could sew and mend clothes, but she could do nothing but chuckle if she had to forge something.
What do I even know about forging? Probably only to avoid forging my fingers in the process.
“I know how to. I’ll make you a set of clothes when I’m free,” Qian Jiyun said with a smile.
He had once thought of using the Ice Heart Stone, but its quality was too high, making it difficult to forge or polish it into other shapes. He felt that it was useless, so he gave up on it.
Now that she was with him, he needed to make her a set of clothes to protect her from harm.
