"No need to investigate, this has nothing to do with her."
“I was already injured before she entered the alley, and I knew clearly that there was no one around. I woke up shortly after she came in, and my wound had stopped bleeding.”
"I believe she saved me more than she wanted to kill me; she's the one who helped my wounds heal."
Xia Yeming stared at the video playing on repeat on his phone and said decisively.
He believed she saved him more than she wanted to kill him.
I forgot to ask her for her contact information.
Otherwise, I could treat her to a meal to thank her.
“But…” The bodyguard was about to say something when Xia Yeming’s voice rang out again, interrupting him.
“I know what you’re worried about, but… I trust her, and we don’t need to bring this up again,” Xia Yeming said, his tone slightly changing.
If she really wanted to get close to him, when he asked if she had saved him, she should have nodded yes, instead of saying that he woke up as soon as she got close.
If she knew his identity, she wouldn't have remained so calm when she heard his name. Her calmness made it seem as if she didn't know who he was at all and treated him as just an ordinary person. On the contrary, she only showed a hint of surprise when she saw the bodyguard appear.
If she really wanted to get closer to him, his offer to take her home would have been a good opportunity, and most people wouldn't have refused, but she refused without hesitation.
She didn't linger or make any noise when she left; she just left as soon as she said she was leaving.
If there were a real purpose, they wouldn't have left so decisively.
Even if she did this to attract his attention, why didn't she take the initiative to ask for his contact information?
Because she simply didn't want to have anything to do with him.
To her, he was a complete stranger.
Therefore, it's obvious without even checking that this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Yuan.
The bodyguard remained silent, understanding Xia Yeming's meaning.
"Instead of this, I should find a master to exorcise the evil spirits for me," Xia Yeming continued.
He believed more that he was possessed by an evil spirit than that it was caused by human intervention.
I've been studying the antiques that have been brought back from auctions lately, so I might have picked up some things from them.
Those who work in this line of work are more superstitious than the average person.
"Yes, I will immediately inquire whether there are any powerful masters in H City." The bodyguard understood Xia Yeming's meaning and nodded in response.
They will be staying in H city for a while, so they will definitely choose a master who is nearby.
"Hmm, where are the things?" Xia Yeming hummed in response and then asked.
The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat immediately handed a box to Xia Yeming.
Xia Yeming took the box, immediately put on the white hood, and unzipped it.
Inside the box lay a sandalwood box with a spiral inlay. The box was exquisitely crafted, so much so that one could not look away at it.
Both the craftsmanship and the patterns on it are superb, truly amazing.
Xia Yeming opened the wooden box, and inside lay a hairpin.
The red jade on the hairpin resembles a tear, glistening with a hint of crystalline beauty.
The jadeite is so pure that he has not been able to find a jadeite stone as pure as this one.
More importantly, he couldn't determine the origin of the hairpin; he knew it was an antique, but couldn't tell how many years ago it came from.
He checked various documents and materials, but could not find any relevant records.
Although this hairpin is an antique, it is flawless, without any blemishes or signs of age.
His purpose in coming to H City was to have his teacher examine the jadeite on the hairpin to determine its origin and age.
His teacher was well-read, an expert in the field, and a renowned figure in the industry.
If even he can't see it, then he...
I really don't know who to contact.
I just hope this trip will have a good outcome.
Xia Yeming thought to himself, then looked at the red jadeite on the hairpin that looked as if it were about to drip blood.
For some reason, he always felt...
There was a strange sadness in me.
It's as if... this hairpin is truly a person's tears... no, it's blood and tears.
Xia Yeming closed the box and pulled the chain back up.
Whenever he looked at the hairpin, he would feel a strange sadness.
It is not advisable to look at it for too long.
Back at the hotel, Jiang Yuan was extremely bored, so she picked up the brush Xie Yunshang had given her and started drawing talismans again.
What are these amulets for safety, career, and good fortune...?
Jiang Yuan drew them all.
The result is that the number of runes keeps piling up...
Jiang Yuan looked at the talismans in front of her, feeling troubled.
It seems...too much.
After deducting the portions to be sent to Xiang Xinyang and Liu Yu, there are still many left.
"The talismans drawn by the master are truly unparalleled in the world~ Those who can receive talismans drawn by the master are truly honored~" A faint voice sounded from behind, flatteringly.
“There are too many talismans,” Jiang Yuan replied, frowning.
She knew without even looking who had suddenly appeared behind her.
Only someone who travels at night could say something like that.
"We have too many talismans, so how about we put up a link and sell them? It'll be a little perk for our little fans." Night Wanderer smiled and suggested.
"Sell it?" Jiang Yuan turned her head and looked at Ye You.
Jiang Yuan frowned when she saw his face.
"Did you fall into the eighteenth level of hell while walking?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask.
The man before her, Ye You, was nowhere near as handsome as before; his face was now a swollen, round, pig-like mass, covered in bruises.
"Ha, hahaha, this...that..." Ye You chuckled dryly, his eyes darting around.
He couldn't very well tell her it was all thanks to his useless brother, could he?
His subordinates were all loose-lipped; no sooner had they left than rumors spread throughout the underworld that he was planning a rebellion.
