Chapter 699 You Want to Avenge My Family

When she first woke up on the island, she had nightmares for a while. The old Taoist priest hung the jade pendant on her bedside, and she felt much better afterwards.

She was used to the fragrance of the jade pendant, and she couldn't sleep well without it, so she carried it with her.

"What's so strange about having identical jade pendants?"

"My father's jade pendant is extremely... extremely precious. There's only one in the world..." The boy's voice grew hoarse as he spoke. "The other day, something unfortunate happened to my family and my father died tragically. I thought of what he said... I searched the entire secret room but couldn't find the jade pendant..."

Ye Qianning frowned even deeper. There was only one jade pendant in the world. Could it be that the old Taoist had stolen someone else's jade pendant when he left the island?

"Where did you get this jade pendant..." the boy asked.

"No matter where it came from, it wasn't stolen. If there is one thing in the world, there will be a second one. It's not surprising." Ye Qianning was not sure whether the jade pendant was unique, but she believed in the Taoist's character.

"You're lying..."

"Why would I lie to you? The jade pendant has nothing to do with your family, so you don't have to harbor any inappropriate thoughts."

After the shock, the boy became more certain of what he was thinking: "You...know what I'm thinking...which means this jade pendant belonged to my father."

"Your intentions are too obvious."

"I don't care. It was you who took my family's jade pendant... You have to avenge my family. My father said that in times of crisis, the jade pendant can be exchanged for a condition to help my family out of danger. The jade pendant is in your hands, so you have to avenge my family..." The boy's hoarse voice was close to a shout, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Ye Qianning sighed, feeling a bit of a headache. Why did the old Taoist still cause so many problems? The jade pendant...

"I'll figure out the jade pendant matter."

"You have to avenge my family."

Ye Qianning smiled: "Why?"

The boy's eyes fell on the jade pendant: "If you take the jade pendant, you will avenge my family."

“…”

Ye Qianning was speechless. He was indeed a child. He was unrivaled in his unreasonable behavior.

"Even if the jade pendant I'm holding is yours, and your father said it could buy you a chance to escape danger in times of trouble, have you ever considered that your family might have used the jade pendant to secure a chance to escape danger many years ago, and that the jade pendant has since been returned to its original owner? You only have one chance, and you can't expect someone to protect your family forever."

The boy was shocked and didn't want to believe it: "You are talking nonsense..."

"What about the jade pendant in exchange for conditions? That's just nonsense.

"You...you...everything I said is true..."

"Who would believe that?" Ye Qianning raised his eyebrows slightly.

"you……"

"If you don't believe what others say, what reason do you have to expect others to believe what you say? Who do you think you are?" Ye Qianning was merciless to the child.

Besides, fourteen or fifteen years old is not young anymore. It is misfortune for a family to suffer misfortune, but it is a problem of character to use moral blackmail on others.

The boy pursed his lips, stared at her and stopped talking.

"Wow……"

The baby in the cradle suddenly started crying.

The boy was visibly panicked and raised his hand to open the swaddling clothes: "Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid..."

"I don't have time to waste with you." Ye Qianning stood up.

The boy looked up and subconsciously stopped Ye Qianning.

"Child, you'd better take good care of the baby in your arms. Look, his face is red, his breath is weak, and he has a high fever. If he doesn't see a doctor, he will die soon." Ye Qianning lowered his eyes and glanced at the baby in the cradle.
