"Hehe, Elder Yang, is that it? Since you put it that way, then Dragon King, I have nothing more to say. Farewell!" Li Jia turned back and smiled at Yang Qingyun, then said calmly to Ai Sihai. "Wait a minute, young brother, don't be in such a hurry. Uncle Yang has a short temper, please don't take offense." As Li Jia stood up to leave, Ai Sihai finally spoke up to stop him. There was clearly something else behind Li Jia's words, and letting this young man leave like this was not a good thing.
"Hehe, Dragon King, it seems that the people here don't treat their saviors very well. I find it a bit strange. Have all the Chinese traditions disappeared here? Chinese people know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, but I haven't felt any of that here! Also, Dragon King, whatever your Dragon Dance Association does is none of my business, and I have no interest in it. I came here because of this!" Li Jia stopped and finished speaking slowly. Then she took out the emerald green jade gourd pendant from her neck and quietly placed it in front of Ai Sihai before turning and leaving.
After Li Jia left, the attention of the elders and Ai Sihai remained fixed on the jade gourd pendant. After a long while, they wondered, "Could this person be...?"
"Bring them back immediately!" Ai Sihai suddenly snapped out of his reverie, clutching the jade gourd pendant tightly in his hand, and hurriedly gave the order.
Elder Long, who was sitting on the outermost side, immediately got up and walked out with great speed. When he came downstairs, he saw that Li Jia had already walked out of the manor gate and was heading towards the bridge over the Arno River. Seeing this, the old man raised his hand and called over a young man standing to the side, "Go and find out where that young man lives, and then come back and report immediately."
After speaking, Elder Long, with his Taoist-like demeanor, returned to the room where Ai Sihai and the others were. He explained the situation and then sat on the sofa. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat strange. The pendant left by Li Jia reminded Ai Sihai and several other elders of Emily, whom they had raised since childhood. Emily also wore an identical pendant around her neck, and that pendant had been worn by her since they adopted her.
The two jade gourd pendants look exactly the same. The only difference is that on one side of the gourd, Emily's pendant is concave, while Li Feng's is convex. The difference in height is not significant, and it is almost imperceptible without close inspection. Now that another pendant has appeared in front of them, Li Jia's identity is almost obvious!
"Uncle Long, what's your opinion on this matter?" Ai Sihai placed the pendant he was holding on the coffee table, then leaned back on the sofa, his expression somewhat complicated.
"The fact that he took out this pendant is clearly telling us that he's here to find Xiaomili. But we still don't know who he is to Xiaomili, or what his purpose is in coming here, or what his purpose is after seeing Xiaomili. So, I think we need to go and see that young man again," said Long Suifeng, who had a Taoist air about him, after a moment's thought.
"Uncle Yang, what about you? Do you have any suggestions?" Ai Sihai asked again, glancing at Yang Qingyun, who had a gloomy face.
“I agree with Fourth Brother’s opinion. As long as he doesn’t intend to harm the Dragon Dance Association, we can talk about anything. If we can’t reach an agreement, then we should eliminate him! We can’t leave such a hidden danger behind! No matter how good his skills are, he can’t be faster than a bullet!” From the moment Yang Qingyun saw Li Jia, he felt an inexplicable aversion to this young man. Li Jia’s calm expression made him feel very uncomfortable! Although he had saved Emily, in the Dragon Dance Association, seniority is seniority. No matter how great a junior’s contribution is, he cannot look down on his elders.
Ai Sihai nodded after hearing Yang Qingyun's words, and was about to speak when Emily, who was standing at the door, walked in with a sad expression. "Dad, is this how you treat my savior?"
