He nodded solemnly and replied, “Sister, I understand.”
Xia Muqing smiled and patted him. “You don’t have to worry too much. Our enemies will appear when they should. We will help you.”
Jiang Yifan looked at Xia Muqing, Gungun, the black eagle, and the little phoenix who were gathered around him. He felt a surge of warmth and said, “Thank you all.”
Xia Muqing asked them to stay at the Xia residence. No one would come to this courtyard anyway. At night, Xia Muqing checked the black eagle’s eyes again. They were still empty and the scars around its eyes looked terrifying.
Her heart ached and she felt guilty. “Black eagle, I’ve let you down.”
“Master, can I sleep on the bed?”
The black eagle didn’t feel sad. As long as it had food and water, it would feel very happy. It took the opportunity to make an excessive request.
Xia Muqing patted its head. Its request made all her sadness disappear.
“I’ve arranged a room for you and Gungun next door. You can choose to sleep on the ground or on the bed. Of course, if you want to sleep on the tree outside, I’m fine with it too.”
The black eagle cried out in joy and was about to rush to the room next door when Gungun grabbed its leg. That big fool. It couldn’t see the way and yet it was still charging around. Wasn’t it afraid of knocking its head into something?
After sending off the two little fellows, Xia Muqing finally had the time to ponder things over. She studied the jade pendant and token on the table.
Recently, things seemed to have been planned. First, she obtained a pearl and a piece of slab from the Sunset Mountains. And then she obtained another pearl from Jiang Yifan. When the two pearls met, a pattern appeared and they merged with the piece of slab. She then received a token and realized that the pattern on Ye Qingxuan’s jade pendant was the same as this token.
Now, this piece of jade was also handed to her by Ye Qingxuan.
All of this seemed to be a coincidence, but it wasn’t a coincidence if there were too many of them. This could be planned by someone.
Xia Muqing’s heart skipped a beat. What was the mastermind trying to do?
Just as she was pondering, Jiang Yifan walked in with a bowl of soup. “Sister, we all ate too much spicy food today. Have some warm soup.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bowl in his hand fell to the ground.
There was something wrong with his expression, as if he had seen something terrifying. His face was pale and cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead.
He quickly walked to the table by the window and stared straight at the jade pendant on the table.
Xia Muqing asked, “What happened to you?”
Jiang Yifan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with disbelief and hatred.
Before Xia Muqing could figure out what was going on, she saw his body falling and she quickly stepped forward to catch him.
Jiang Yifan looked like a frail youth, but he wasn’t light either. Xia Muqing was knocked back a few steps before she could stabilize his body properly.
She placed his body on the bed with much difficulty. Even though he was unconscious, he was still sweating profusely. His lips were clenched tightly, and before long, he was bleeding.
Xia Muqing could only find a handkerchief and place it in his mouth to prevent him from biting himself.
Looking at his pained expression, and then at the jade pendant on the table, Xia Muqing felt that he should know this jade pendant. However, this jade pendant belonged to Ye Qingxuan. Could there be a relationship between the two of them?
This increasingly messy relationship annoyed Xia Muqing, but she could only wait for Jiang Yifan to wake up to find out the answer.
She gave up the room to Jiang Yifan. After he seemed to stabilize, she went to the other room.
After she left, Jiang Yifan opened his eyes.. He got off the bed and stared blankly at the empty table.
