#143 - Breaking the promise? The inheritance of the gods
Unbeknownst to when.
Ye Leng Leng, who had brushed past Qian Renjue, had already turned around.
Her blue, lifeless eyes held a hint of curiosity, as she watched Qian Renjue's back.
On her pure white robe embroidered with silver threads, a blood-red jade pendant hung conspicuously at her waist.
As she passed Qian Renjue, Ye Leng Leng still couldn't help but glance sideways.
A flash of bright red caught her eye.
She didn't see it clearly, but it gave her a very familiar feeling.
Noticing the surprise in Qian Renjue's eyes.
Ye Leng Leng's long eyelashes fluttered gently as she watched Qian Renjue leave.
She stood quietly in place, not chasing after him.
Her eyes involuntarily showed disappointment.
What her grandfather once said…
Where exactly was the person who could replace him in accompanying and protecting her?!
Was he going to break his promise like her grandfather?
A hint of sorrow and remembrance flashed in Ye Leng Leng's eyes.
Once Qian Renjue and the other disappeared.
Ye Leng Leng turned around and slowly left along her usual route.
Her unhurried steps became somewhat absentminded.
The departing youth and the flash of red stirred her heart, preventing her from calming down for a long time.
...
"Jue, are you still reluctant to leave?"
After a moment of departure.
Qian Renxue's face was filled with surprise, her words carrying a teasing tone.
"No, it's just a little strange."
Qian Renjue shook his head.
He wasn't sure if Ye Leng Leng had noticed his identity just now.
He asked Qian Renxue with confusion:
"Sister, she turned around just now and was looking at us."
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue's expression froze slightly.
Looking back, Ye Leng Leng's figure had long disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that she saw your jade pendant?"
"Maybe."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
"Then why didn't she come over to say hello? Could it be that she didn't take a liking to my little brother?"
Qian Renxue's face carried a hint of jest.
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes: "Sister, didn't I also not say hello?"
"And if she didn't like me... according to the agreement, she should have asked for the jade pendant back."
"That won't do!"
Qian Renxue put away her joking attitude.
She said seriously: "Even if we want to break off the engagement... we have to be the ones to take the initiative to break it off!"
"..."
Qian Renjue smiled helplessly.
"Sister, let's leave this place first, it's not good to be so conspicuous."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue nodded, pulling Qian Renjue towards the foot of the mountain.
She comforted him: "Jue, you don't need to spend too much thought on this kind of thing, you're both still young."
"I know."
Qian Renjue nodded.
But he had other guesses in his heart, maybe Ye Leng Leng didn't see clearly?
"Sister, is someone causing trouble for the Ye family?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa has already instructed the Spirit Hall here."
Qian Renxue answered with a smile.
Thinking of Qian Daoliu's painstaking efforts for the Qian family, she still reminded him:
"If possible... Jue, you should still work hard, Grandpa is looking forward to it."
Qian Renxue hugged Qian Renjue's arm, pressing close to him.
The Qian family really needed an heir.
Anyway, it was impossible for her to marry, no one would be more outstanding and important than Jue.
"I know."
Thinking of Qian Daoliu holding a portrait and asking him to choose.
Qian Renjue felt a headache.
...
When they returned to the valley shrouded in poisonous mist.
Qian Renjue began to harvest those immortal herbs, leaving only the roots.
He didn't have the Wishful Treasure Pouch or the Ring of Life.
But he had the system space with time suspension, which was better than any method to prevent the loss of medicinal power.
He was leaving in a few days.
He didn't have time to refine the pills here, so he could only take them back to refine.
Just as he put away the Snow Goose Kiss, which was crystal clear and snow-white all over.
Qian Renjue stood up, and Qian Renxue's voice rang in his ear.
"Jue, this is the last immortal herb, take it."
The herb Qian Renxue handed over looked unremarkable.
It was emerald green all over, and in the center of the herb, there were three snow-white leaves, with what looked like morning dew hanging on the leaves.
It was the Yearning Heartbroken Dew.
It could be said to be the key to Tang San's achievement of the Sea God.
Thinking of this, Qian Renjue suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something important.
"Jue, what's wrong?"
Qian Renxue held the Yearning Heartbroken Dew, waving it in front of Qian Renjue's eyes.
"Sister, be careful."
Qian Renjue came back to his senses and quickly reached out.
Afraid that the dew hanging on it would be thrown on the ground by Qian Renxue.
"Pfft, it's not that fragile."
Qian Renxue giggled and placed it in Qian Renjue's hand, continuing to ask:
"Tell me quickly, what were you thinking about just now?"
Qian Renjue put the Yearning Heartbroken Dew into the system space.
Then he said: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished something."
"What is it? Do you need my help?"
Qian Renxue said with a smile.
Qian Renjue nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Sister, I want the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure."
"That thing?!"
Hearing this.
Qian Renxue frowned immediately.
It wasn't that she couldn't get it, nor that she didn't want to give it, she was afraid there was something inside.
After all, that thing was the Heart of the Sea God!
"Jue, why would you want that kind of thing?"
"Sister, that thing."
Qian Renjue was about to explain something, but the system's strange, unreasonable protection mechanism.
Once again made him unable to speak freely.
"Jue, what are you talking about?"
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue strangely, and leaned towards him.
Qian Renjue helplessly gave up struggling.
After hesitating for a moment.
Qian Renjue raised his hand and grabbed Qian Renxue's shoulder.
The [Oracle Reverse Mark] at the center of his brow appeared, staring at Qian Renxue, he said sincerely:
"Sister, I don't know how to explain my soul skill..."
"But please believe me, okay?"
Qian Renxue was stunned.
Her purple eyes stared at the black mark at the center of Qian Renjue's brow, her heart pounding wildly.
She actually felt divine power there!
Could it be that Qian Renjue also obtained the inheritance of some unknown god?
In this way.
The strangeness of Qian Renjue seemed to be explained.
"Heh... how could I not believe Jue?"
After the shock.
Qian Renxue smiled sweetly.
Feeling happy for Qian Renjue to have such an opportunity.
She gently hugged Qian Renjue, tiptoed, and kissed him on the face, exhaling:
"Don't worry, as long as it's what Jue wants, I'll get it."
"Thank you, Sister."
Qian Renjue breathed a sigh of relief.
He also hugged Qian Renxue's waist, and tapped that delicate face.
Then quickly released that delicate body.
"This is really rare."
Qian Renxue touched her blushing face, with a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Sister can take her time, I'm not in a hurry."
Qian Renjue put away the mark on his brow.
He knew the importance of the national treasure to the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Don't worry."
Qian Renxue had a confident smile on her face.
"Has Jue forgotten that you gave me two [Soul Control Pills]?"
Qian Renjue's eyes were filled with joy.
"Could it be that Sister has already..."
"Yes, no matter how I play now, my mission is complete."
Qian Renxue smiled.
What national treasure, it was just a matter of her words.
I wish you all a happy life!
