These were all found by Black Owl in the drawer inside the stone wall. Although Black Owl could also absorb them, he was not as fast as Ji Fengming.
Seeing that their two masters were finally getting down to business, Jinluan and Qingluan used all their strength to jump onto Ji Fengming.
Qingluan glanced at her older brother, who was a troublemaker, and said irritably, "Now you know how to take advantage of my master. If you're so capable, then don't touch my master now, go back to your own master."
"You idiot, can't you see? We've essentially become two masters, so why are we still distinguishing between you and me?" Jin Luan said with a look of disgust, calmly staying on Ji Fengming's chest without moving.
The blue phoenix stared blankly with its beak agape for a long time, speechless.
Its owner often bullies it, and then its older brother's owner takes it away and comforts it.
They really do have a clear division of labor and work together seamlessly!
Ji Fengyao, along with her three maids and Wang An, divided the ten boxes of gold ingots equally. Seeing that it was getting late, she sent Wang An home so that he could have a proper talk with his father. Only then did she and Shang Xiye get into the carriage to return to the mansion.
Halfway through the journey, Wu Shang suddenly handed over a scroll of news.
Shang Xiye unfolded the note and saw that it read: "Fengming is alright, may you return to the capital with Hei Xiao?"
The signature is Ji Chenhai.
Ji Fengyao, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ji Chenhai's name and looked up to ask, "Is this a letter from my father?"
Shang Xiye then handed the note to Ji Fengyao and said, "Actually, Fengming and Heixiao disappeared in Hualiang City, and there has been no news of them since. But your father sent a message a few days ago, saying with certainty that Fengming is alright. This letter today also says that Fengming is alright, and asks if they have returned to the capital. I don't quite understand it."
"Did my father tell you why he was sure my brother was alright?" Ji Fengyao frowned.
"He said Fengming's essence blood jade slip is intact." Shang Xiye finally couldn't help but ask, "What is an essence blood jade slip?"
A jade slip containing essence and blood? Could it be a life slip?
Ji Fengyao recalled something that happened when her soul had just transmigrated.
Su Rujing held the slowly waking girl in her arms and wept with joy, saying she would make another one, and then took a needle and pricked her finger.
At that time, she felt a slight disturbance in her soul, and thought it was because her soul was not used to being in the new body.
Looking back now, it seems the host's life was tragically cut short.
Therefore, Su Rujing extracted a wisp of her soul power and created the new life tablet.
Isn't the ability to make life tablets a skill only cultivators in the cultivation world possess? How could the Ji family make life tablets?
Could it be that the ancestors of the Ji family were cultivators?
Seeing that Ji Fengyao was somewhat dazed, Shang Xiye assumed that she was unable to speak, and said gently and tolerantly, "If it's inconvenient to speak, then don't. As long as we're sure they're alright, that's fine."
“There’s no inconvenience. The essence blood jade slip my father mentioned can also be simply called a life slip. It’s made by infusing a person’s essence blood and soul into a special jade tablet. Because the life slip contains a trace of the owner’s soul, its condition is closely related to the owner; if the owner is seriously injured, it will develop cracks; if the owner dies, it will shatter completely. My father said my brother is fine, which must be because my brother’s life slip is on him, and my brother’s life slip is intact.” Ji Fengyao leaned softly against Shang Xiye and explained in detail.
A strange feeling rose in Shang Xiye's heart, as if he should have known these things long ago, but had simply forgotten.
Now, hearing Ji Fengyao mention it, he felt as if it were common knowledge.
"Yaoyao, did we know each other in our past lives?" Shang Xiye hugged the little bandit girl with great affection and suddenly asked her telepathically.
Ji Fengyao froze instantly, her eyes fixed on Shang Xiye.
