"Hmm, that's good, isn't it?" Meng Lan placed the mirror in front of Yao Yao. It was a brass mirror that wasn't very clear, but you could still see the lovely little girl in it.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Yao Yao was amazed by her own appearance.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really shameless. I've never seen a girl praise herself like you."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Mom's good dressing and skillful hands."
Then Meng Lan opened Yao Yao's dressing box and saw a jade pendant on the bottom layer, which was of excellent quality.
"Hmm? Where did this Yan'er come from?" She didn't recall ever showing Yan'er such a valuable jade pendant.
"This... was left to me by my mother. She said it was a token of love between my father and me."
Yao Yao's tone couldn't help but sound a little disappointed. Meng Lan immediately understood and comforted Yao Yao with some guilt, "Yan'er, don't be sad. You still have your mother. Your mother will take care of you from now on."
"Yes!" Yao Yao nodded heavily.
Meng Lan held up the jade pendant to Yao Yao a few times, saying, "This jade pendant matches Yan'er's clothes quite well today. Let her wear this jade pendant today."
"Yes, I'll listen to Mother."
This jade pendant was the only keepsake left to Liu Yan by her mother. Even when her family was extremely poor and couldn't afford to eat, they never pawned it.
It's said to be a token of love from that scumbag father.
The original owner of this body was abducted, so naturally this wasn't taken with her.
Perhaps this could also be a useful tool for finding relatives.
Meng Lan hung the jade pendant on her waist, and Yao Yao's appearance that evening naturally attracted a lot of attention.
While some of the comments were flattery of Xu Zhan, most were drawn to Yao Yao's incredibly cute face.
"This must be the daughter of the Right Protector. She is truly a fairy child."
"Hey, I think this Right Protector is the real winner in life. He has a beautiful wife, a capable and intelligent son, and such a lovely daughter. He is truly the most fulfilled person in our Demonic Sect."
"What you say makes sense."
"However, this daughter is not his biological child. It is said that she was brought back from abroad by the son of the Right Protector."
"Shh, why are you so concerned? As long as they're willing to spoil you, that's fine. Be careful someone doesn't hear us."
…………
Not long after, Shao Chen, the cult leader, arrived. However, he looked somewhat dejected.
Upon seeing him like this, some people naturally wanted to flatter him and become familiar with him: "The leader is truly devoted to the Demonic Sect, and now he is even diligently practicing martial arts."
Shao Chen thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "If only he had really gotten into this terrible state because of practicing martial arts."
Without responding to his compliment, the man could only sit down dejectedly.
Then he muttered to himself, "What's wrong with the leader? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
"We bystanders wouldn't know so much, so we'd better not get involved."
After the banquet, the high-ranking members of the demonic sect naturally stayed behind to discuss how to deal with the righteous people.
“In recent years, those so-called righteous people have been everywhere. Whenever the whereabouts of my demonic sect disciples are exposed and they are caught, they all die a miserable death without exception!”
"This is outrageous! We clearly did not commit the crime of wiping out an entire family, yet everyone is pointing the finger at us."
"A bunch of beasts, hypocrites who are all talk and no action!"
The fact that the cult leader had rarely emerged from seclusion naturally stirred up great excitement among the crowd.
Min Wen pressed his hand down. "Actually, I've discovered some clues about that family annihilation case over the past few years."
A burly man with a somewhat rugged appearance said impatiently, "Left Protector, just say what you have to say, stop being so mysterious."
