"You want to go, but my sister won't take you, right?"
Jiang Xinyao grinned and said, "Don't worry! I won't take you either."
Lu Jingliang's expression remained unchanged, but his deep gaze remained fixed on her.
Jiang Xinyao's heart skipped a beat.
"Hehe, just kidding."
She felt inexplicably afraid.
But the thought that Jiang Yuetong was in the main hall not far away immediately gave him confidence, and he was no longer afraid.
"Speaking of which, if you don't have any money, how did you manage to be with my sister before?" Jiang Xinyao couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
Lu Jingliang was even poorer than her; I don't know what attracted her to her.
Don't be fooled by my sister's seemingly indifferent exterior; she's actually a money-grubber.
However, she has always been generous to her younger sister.
Lu Jingliang didn't want to respond, but after frowning and thinking for a moment, he still said, "It's probably because of his looks."
This answer surprised Jiang Xinyao.
"You're with my sister just to live off her?" After saying that, Jiang Xinyao quickly covered her mouth.
She talks way too fast.
You know it, why did you have to say it out loud?
Jiang Xinyao took a few steps back and cautiously glanced at Lü Jingliang, whose expression had changed slightly.
Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, I heard him say, "Is it not allowed?"
Jiang Xinyao looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
She stared at him blankly, then quickly nodded after she came to her senses: "Of course you can, I believe in you!"
With that, she turned and ran.
"Once you get the spot, I'll have someone send it to you. Wait for my good news."
...
After finishing her business in the middle of the night, Jiang Yuetong immediately rushed back to the "Wangxi Pavilion" in the East Palace to rest.
As soon as I lay down and closed my eyes, I noticed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy in the room.
"Heart Eater, do you know its location?" Jiang Yuetong pretended to be asleep, but asked her contracted beast in her mind.
Her life-and-death contracted beast is a mutated lightning-type ten-thousand-year-old heart-devouring wolf.
Their strength is no less than hers.
Inside the space, it opened its pale blue eyes, and a terrifying aura rushed out.
After checking, it shook its head and replied, "It's gone."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong's heart sank.
Huanhai Prefecture is heavily guarded. Who could ignore the prefecture's protective array and quietly enter her room?
What are you trying to do here? Rob me?
If she hadn't returned early, she probably wouldn't have known either.
Or is it that the person who left behind the spiritual energy aura was originally from Huanhaizhou?
For some reason, Jiang Yuetong thought of Lü Jingliang, but then felt it was impossible.
The person staring at him said that Lü Jingliang was already asleep.
"That 'sister' touched the master's heart, which is why the master thought of him," the Heart-Eating Wolf in the space suddenly spoke.
Jiang Yuetong: "..."
The only drawback of a contracted natal beast is that it has no privacy whatsoever; it knows everything you think.
"If you hadn't asked me to bring Lu Jingliang back, I would have left him to fend for himself long ago. Calling him 'sister' or 'ancestor' wouldn't have helped."
Recalling the scene from that day, the Heart-Eating Wolf also felt strange.
"At that time, he did have a familiar feeling about him, which was very similar to the aura of his master's magical artifact, the 'Jade Bone Demon Fan,' but it disappeared later."
Moreover, although our master brought him back and gave him the best medicine, we didn't suffer any loss.
That white jade bracelet is priceless.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong felt much better.
Nothing is more important than a mother's things.
"I don't know what happened ten years ago, but she actually handed over her mother's belongings, such important things, to Lü Jingliang."
Looking back, I guess I trusted him quite a bit back then.
Jiang Yuetong thought to herself.
