Ye Kaixuan's anxious tone relaxed slightly: "I'm glad you're okay. Where are you now?"
"In the coffee shop on the first floor of Kangding Street Shopping Center, do you want to come and see me?" Xu Qian asked.
"Got it." Ye Kaixuan said and hung up.
Xu Qian checked his phone, opened his mouth but said nothing, then looked at Lin Su again and said, "Sorry, I got a call. What did you mean when you said he could leave with a special body?"
"Your blood has the power to attract sneaky people." Lin Su looked at him and said, "Your Yin energy is extremely strong. Such troubles are inevitable in the future. You need to be careful."
He was kindly reminding her, but Xu Qian still felt a heavy heart. Suddenly remembering something, she said, "By the way, when I last saw you, did you see a jade pendant?"
"Jade pendant, what kind of jade pendant?" Lin Su asked.
Xu Qian described it: "It's a fox-shaped jade pendant, made of white jade. Have you ever seen it?"
"I've seen it." Lin Su dug into his shoulder bag, took out the jade pendant he had carved and made look old, and pushed it in front of Xu Qian. "I picked it up when I saw it. Is it yours?"
Xu Qian took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The fox tail on it was vivid and no different from the one he had worn before. Xu Qian felt a little relieved when he found the jade pendant again. "Thank you, I thought I would never find it again."
"Nothing." Lin Su took a sip from the cup and said, "Are you looking for this to drive away those evil spirits?"
"How do you know?" Xu Qian asked subconsciously, but then she realized that he actually knew about this. A guilty feeling instantly came over her. "This is something I've worn since I was a child. Unlike you, I had no experience with Feng Shui before. The only reason I came into contact with it was because I lost the jade pendant."
"If the stuff inside comes out, you will be the first to bear the brunt." Lin Su looked up at him and said.
"Do you know what is sealed inside?" Xu Qian asked.
Lin Su put down the cup, rubbing the rim, and said, "You know something. The Xu family's sealing technique is recorded in the classics. They will seal monsters inside artifacts and use their power to drive out evil spirits. Once the power is exhausted, the artifact will be destroyed, and you should know what the monster inside will end up like."
"Are all monsters evil?" Xu Qian asked, tightening his fingers.
"Not necessarily. The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the nine-tailed fox likes to eat people. It is harmful to humans, but humans are just its food. Definitions and judgments are made by humans." Lin Su looked at him and said, "Do you think it is good or bad?"
"It's impossible to define. I don't agree with what our ancestors did, but I have relied on this jade pendant for twenty years. If I don't have it, I will die. Do you have a way to break the deadlock?" Xu Qian looked at him and said.
He was just a cowardly man who was afraid of death. He couldn't bear to see the life in the jade pendant imprisoned, nor did he want to die because of his bloodline. He was only twenty years old, and his life span was less than one-third of that of an ordinary person. He still had many ideals he wanted to realize, but the roads ahead and behind seemed to be blocked.
"No." Lin Su looked at him and said, "Your current life span of twenty years was bought at the cost of his twenty years of losing his freedom. If he wants to take your life the day he breaks the seal, I can't stop him. The only thing I can count on is that he will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Xu Qian held the jade pendant and sighed: "Actually, you are right."
His twenty years were actually stolen. It was just because he had been without the jade pendant for a period of time that he had narrowly escaped death several times. If he had not had the jade pendant before, he would probably not have survived his infancy.
He placed the jade pendant on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Su. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you please keep this jade pendant for the time being? I don't want to use it anymore. If I can hold on until the day he gets out, let him come to me."
If his freedom were to be exchanged for another person's twenty years of peace, he would certainly feel resentful.
"The seal will soon be released, whether it's used or not." Lin Su pushed the jade pendant back and said, "It would be better to make your last days easier."
Ignorance is not a crime. Xu Qian had previously been unaware of the jade pendant's significance. The Xu family's bloodline seemed like a reward for the Feng Shui master, but in Lin Su's view, it was more like a curse. Generations of the Xu family searched for a way to free themselves from this bloodline, ultimately finding a way to seal it. While the sealing technique was effective, it harmed the family, leading to the demise of their descendants. In Xu Qian's generation, he would be with the protagonist, and without the birth of any new offspring, the bloodline would be completely cut off in this generation.
When the little fox really recovers his memory, he will remember all the things that were sealed. Maybe he will no longer have the pure happiness like he does now, but all memories constitute a person's wholeness. At that time, it will be up to him to decide whether to take revenge or not. Before that, Xu Qian has to live well.
After Lin Su finished speaking, he stood up and took the cake packed by the waiter. When he went out, he passed by Ye Kaixuan who had just come over. Ye Kaixuan did not stop and hurried over to ask the waiter. Lin Su also turned around and left.
When Lin Su opened the door, he heard the movement inside. When he opened the door, he was directly facing the three-tailed fox sitting on the sofa, staring at the door eagerly. He smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me or the cake?"
The little fox rolled his eyes and jumped onto Lin Su's shoulder affectionately. His eyes passed over the box Lin Su was holding, revealing full excitement: "Of course I'm waiting for you."
This little thing is very smart.
Lin Su placed the box on the coffee table. When he opened it, a sweet scent of cream emanated from it. The little fox seemed to be sitting upright, but its tail was almost tangled from flapping around. Looking at the colorful cake inside, the little fox stood up and circled around it twice: "Human, is this the cake?"
His eyes were full of "I want to eat".
Lin Su responded, cut a piece for him, and poured the milk tea he brought back into the cup beside him and said, "Well, try it."
The little fox had been pretending to be reserved just now, but now that he had received permission, he immediately leaned forward and took a bite of the cake. Even though a little cream rubbed against the tip of his nose, it did not prevent him from exclaiming: "This, this is so delicious, the fox likes this, well, this is delicious too, the fox likes this too, cake, cake..."
He kept muttering to himself while eating. He ate chicken fillet very quickly, and the cake was gone in just two bites.
Then his eyes fixed on the piece of cake next to Lin Su, which still had a lot of cake left: "Human, I want to eat more."
He could eat several chicken fillets in one night without any indigestion. Instead, his fur became more shiny and smooth. Since he had already cultivated into a human form, eating human food was not a big problem.
