At some point in time—
Ye Lingling, who had brushed past Qian Ranjue, had already turned around.
In her lifeless blue eyes,for the first time, there appeared a trace of curiosity, as she looked at Qian Ranjue's departing back.
On her pure white robe embroidered with silver threads,a blood-red jade pendant hanging at her waist was especially eye-catching.
When she passed by Qian Ranjue, Ye Lingling still couldn't keep her gaze straight ahead.
From the corner of her eye, a flash of crimson entered her vision.
She didn't see it clearly, yet it gave her a strangely familiar feeling.
Noticing the astonishment in Qian Ranjue's eyes,Ye Lingling's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she watched him leave.
She stood quietly in place without following after him.
There was an involuntary disappointment in her eyes.
The person her grandfather once spoke of—the one who could accompany her and protect her in his stead—where was he now?!
Was he going to break his promise like her grandfather did?
A trace of sorrow and nostalgia flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes.
After Qian Ranjue and his companion disappeared from sight,
Ye Lingling turned around and slowly walked away along her usual route.
Her pace—neither hurried nor slow—had become somewhat distracted.
The boy who had left, and that flicker of crimson,both left her heart unable to calm for a long time.
"Jue, are you still reluctant to part with her?"
Moments after leaving,
Qian Renxue's face carried a look of curiosity, her tone slightly teasing.
"No, it's just… strange."
Qian Ranjue shook his head.
He wasn't sure whether Ye Lingling had sensed his identity just now.Turning to Qian Renxue, he asked in confusion,"Sis, she turned around and looked at us."
"Hm?"
Qian Renxue was slightly startled.
Looking back, Ye Lingling's figure was already long gone.
"Could it be that she saw your jade pendant?"
"Maybe."
Qian Ranjue nodded slightly.
"Then why didn't she come over and say hello? Could it be she doesn't like my little brother?"
Qian Renxue's tone carried a hint of playful teasing.
Qian Ranjue rolled his eyes. "Sis, I didn't say hello either, did I?"
"And besides, if she really doesn't like me,according to the agreement, she should have returned the jade pendant."
"How could that be!"
Qian Renxue immediately dropped her playful attitude,
and said seriously, "Even if the engagement is to be canceled, it should be us who initiate it!"
"…"
Qian Ranjue could only smile helplessly.
"Sis, let's leave here first. It's not good to draw too much attention."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue nodded and took Qian Ranjue's arm as they walked down the mountain.
She comforted him, "Jue, you don't need to think too much about these things. You're both still young."
"I know."
Qian Ranjue nodded.
But in his heart, he had another thought — perhaps Ye Lingling simply hadn't seen clearly?
"Sis, has anyone been causing trouble for the Ye family?"
"Don't worry, Grandfather already instructed the Spirit Hall branch here to take care of things."
Qian Renxue smiled as she spoke.
Thinking of how Qian Daoliu had gone to such lengths for their family, she reminded,"If possible, Jue, you should try harder. Grandfather's hoping for it."
Qian Renxue leaned close, holding onto Qian Ranjue's arm affectionately.
The Qian family indeed needed an heir.As for herself, she could never marry — no one would ever be more outstanding or more important than Jue.
"I understand."
Thinking of Qian Daoliu holding portraits and asking him to make a choice,
Qian Ranjue felt a headache coming on.
When they returned to the valley shrouded in poisonous mist,
Qian Ranjue immediately began harvesting the Immortal Herbs, leaving only the roots behind.
He didn't have a Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch or a Life Ring,
but he did have the system's time-stopping space — better than any method for preserving medicinal potency.
They would be leaving in a few days.
There wasn't enough time to refine the pills here; he could only take the herbs back to refine later.
Just as he finished putting away the crystalline white Snow Swan Kiss,
Qian Renxue's voice sounded beside him.
"Jue, this is the last Immortal Herb. Keep it safe."
The herb Qian Renxue handed over looked utterly ordinary.
Its entire body was emerald green, and in the center of the plant were three snow-white leaves, each seemingly holding morning dew.
It was none other than the Piercing Autumn Dew.
It could be said that this herb was the key to Tang San's ascension as the Sea God.
At this thought, Qian Ranjue suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something important.
"Jue, what's wrong?"
Qian Renxue waved the Piercing Autumn Dew in front of his eyes.
"Sis, be careful!"
Qian Ranjue snapped back to his senses and quickly reached out,
afraid that the dew on the leaves would be shaken off and fall to the ground.
"Pfft— it's not that fragile."
Qian Renxue giggled, placing it in his hand, and continued to ask,"Come on, what were you thinking about just now?"
Qian Ranjue stored the Piercing Autumn Dew into his system space.
Only then did he reply, "I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't done yet."
"What is it? Do you need your sister's help?"
Qian Renxue asked with a smile.
Qian Ranjue nodded solemnly."Sis, I want the Tian Dou Empire's national treasure."
"That thing?!"
Hearing this,
Qian Renxue immediately frowned.
It wasn't that she couldn't obtain it, nor that she was unwilling to give it to him —she was afraid of what might be within it.
After all, that thing was the Heart of the Sea God!
"Jue, why would you suddenly want something like that?"
"Sis, that thing—"
Qian Ranjue was about to explain, but that strange, unreasonable protection mechanism of the system
once again prevented him from speaking freely.
"Jue, what are you saying?"
Qian Renxue looked at him in confusion, moving closer.
Qian Ranjue sighed helplessly and gave up struggling.
After hesitating for a moment,he raised his hand and gripped Qian Renxue's shoulder.
The Divine Reversal Mark between his brows appeared as he looked straight into Qian Renxue's eyes, speaking sincerely:
"Sis, this spirit ability of mine… I don't really know how to explain it,"
"But please, believe me, alright?"
Qian Renxue froze.
Her violet eyes locked onto the black mark at his brow, her heart pounding wildly.
She could actually feel divine power emanating from it!
Could it be that Qian Ranjue, too, had obtained the inheritance of some unknown god?!
If that were true—
Then the strange things about him suddenly all made sense.
"Heh… How could Sister not believe in Jue?"
After the initial shock,
Qian Renxue smiled sweetly,
genuinely happy for Qian Ranjue's fortuitous encounter.
She gently embraced him, rose slightly on her toes, and pressed her lips to his cheek as she whispered softly,"Don't worry, whatever Jue wants, Sister will get it for you."
"Thank you, Sis."
Qian Ranjue exhaled in relief.
He also hugged Qian Renxue's waist and lightly tapped her delicate cheek,
then quickly let go of her soft figure.
"This is really rare."
Qian Renxue touched her flushed face, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.
"Sis can take her time. I'm not in a hurry."
Qian Ranjue withdrew the mark between his brows.
He knew very well the importance of the national treasure to the Tian Dou Empire.
"Don't worry."
A confident smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
"Did Jue forget you gave Sister two Soul-Controlling Heart-Devouring Pills?"
Qian Ranjue's eyes lit up with joy.
"Could it be that Sis already…"
"That's right. No matter how it's played now, Sister's task is already completed."
Qian Renxue's smile was full of mischief.
As for that so-called national treasure — it was nothing more than a matter of one word from her.
May everyone live happily!
