Jiang Yuetong raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

“Of course it’s true!” Heart Eater said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Never mind, we'll talk about this later."

Just then, Jiang Yuetong left the main hall, and a guard rushed over, handing her a box with both hands.

"Master, this is the second young lady's new jade pendant."

Jiang Yuetong reached out and took it, grunted in agreement, and then instructed, "Send a message to Qingfeng, telling him to secretly return and guard the Treasure Pavilion."

"Yes!" The guard looked serious, thinking that something big had happened to summon Lord Aomine back.

The next day.

Jiang Yuetong wore a light purple dress with lifelike lotus flowers embroidered on the hem, and a jade pendant belonging to the ruler of Huanhai Prefecture was tied around her waist.

She arrived at Jiang Xinyao's courtyard early. As soon as she opened the door, the person inside heard the noise and rushed out to hug her tightly.

Her soft voice sounded very aggrieved: "Sister, the Grand Elder is not human! He locked me in the Nine Demon Tower as soon as I came back, without bringing any food with me. Your beloved sister almost starved to death inside."

Jiang Yuetong almost laughed but quickly suppressed it. She raised her slender, fair hand and tapped her forehead, looking at her seriously with a stern face: "Serves you right! Who told you to run around like that?"

A pair of misty eyes looked at her pitifully, but Jiang Yuetong turned her head away unmoved, then pushed Jiang Xinyao away and kept a distance.

"If there's a next time, I'll personally throw you into the Nine Demon Tower."

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyao almost cried.

"Sister, I was wrong."

Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and immediately tattled, "Sister, I didn't see Lu Shi'an when I was in the Nine Demon Tower. He must have sneaked out again. You should catch him quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong raised her delicate eyebrows and crossed her arms in front of her chest, saying, "You seem to know quite a lot about this matter."

Jiang Xinyao smiled charmingly and said, "No, I didn't deliberately inquire. Wen Tian told me yesterday."

At this point, her eyes flickered slightly, and she continued, "That guy Lu Shi'an is even more troublesome than me. Sister, you should go and bring him back quickly! Otherwise, he'll cause trouble outside, and you'll have to clean up his mess in the end."

Jiang Yuetong narrowed her dark eyes slightly, realizing that Jiang Xinyao wanted her to go out.

She smiled subtly: "It's alright. He carries so many magical treasures; they must be of some use."

Jiang Xinyao's eyes showed a moment of disappointment, but she quickly recovered and put on a sweet smile: "So, since you came today, are you going to let me out?"

"No." Jiang Yuetong took out a wooden box and handed it to her, her red lips slightly parted: "This is your new jade pendant, keep it safe."

Jiang Xinyao pouted unhappily when she heard that her sister's arrival meant she was being let out.

After taking the jade pendant, she playfully snorted at Jiang Yuetong and said, "I know, this time I'll put it in my spatial storage and see how it gets lost this time!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong remained silent.

...

Five days later.

A man dressed in black, with a cold expression, strode into the main hall from outside, dragging an injured woman with him.

Qingfeng tossed the person he was holding aside, then knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Master."

Jiang Yuetong, who was still resting with her eyes closed, sensed a familiar presence and said calmly, "Wen Tian, ​​have I ever mistreated you?"
