Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

His eyes were filled with hatred as he recalled some childhood memories. The Jiang family used to be wealthy, but one night, a group of men in black suddenly barged into his home. At that time, he was only three years old. He was hidden under his bed by his mother. Outside, there were flashes of light and shadows.

He could only recall how the thick smell of blood had almost suffocated him. He hid under the bed and saw a jade pendant falling to the ground. It was picked up by a man in black. Back then, he was almost discovered.

It was not until daybreak that his parents brought him and his brother away.

However, none of the hundred people in the Jiang family survived. He was still young. After the terrifying encounter, those memories were sealed in his mind. Only when he saw this jade pendant today did he recall them.

The jade pendant was the exact one he had seen years ago. What was the relationship between those people and Xia Muqing?

When he thought about how his family was killed this time, it was also after Xia Muqing appeared.

He didn’t want to suspect Xia Muqing, but he had no leads now. The only lead he had was Xia Muqing.

The next day, when Xia Muqing came to check on Jiang Yifan, she saw him sitting by the bed, staring blankly at the window.

Xia Muqing asked, “When did you wake up?”

Jiang Yifan replied, “I just woke up.”

Actually, he had been awake for the entire night.

Xia Muqing touched the jade pendant around her neck and asked, “Are you looking for this?”

She had just noticed that Jiang Yifan’s gaze had never left her neck.

Jiang Yifan casually asked, “This… jade pendant, does it belong to you?”

Xia Muqing shook her head. “No, someone gave it to me.”

Jiang Yifan wasn’t very surprised. According to the time of that massacre, this jade pendant couldn’t have belonged to Xia Muqing. After all, when he was three, Xia Muqing should have been six or seven years old.

He asked, “Who gave it to you?”

Xia Muqing put away the jade pendant and sat beside him. “Tell me first, why do you recognize this jade pendant?”

Jiang Yifan replied, “I met a dead person when I was young. He had this jade pendant on him, and it was the same.”

Xia Muqing frowned. It was that simple?

But judging from his situation yesterday, it seemed like something huge had happened.

“King Zhennan gave me this jade pendant.”

Jiang Yifan was stunned. “When did he give it to you?”

Xia Muqing shrugged and said, “Yesterday.”

Jiang Yifan lowered his head and stopped talking. King Zhennan… He had heard of his name before. Everyone in the country had heard of Ye Qingxuan’s name.

It was also very likely that the person who killed their entire family was King Zhennan. After all, Ye Qingxuan had entered the battlefield at the age of ten and made outstanding military achievements. His methods were known to be bloody and he was well known for being ruthless. Furthermore his style was exactly the same as those men in black.

While Jiang Yifan was contemplating, Xia Muqing didn’t disturb him.

Jiang Yifan replied, “Sister, my enemy might be King Zhennan.”

Xia Muqing was shocked. Although she had a hunch, she was still a little surprised. She asked, “But why?”

Jiang Yifan shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“I think it’s better not to conclude with just a jade pendant.” No matter what the reason was, Xia Muqing felt that Ye Qingxuan wasn’t someone like that.

Jiang Yifan nodded. “I know. I’ll investigate thoroughly.”

Xia Muqing had originally come to look for Jiang Yifan to have breakfast. Seeing that he had woken up, she said, “Then pack up. Let’s have breakfast.”

Jiang Yifan nodded obediently.

Xia Muqing was the first to leave the room, leaving Jiang Yifan alone to clean up.

Once she left, Jiang Yifan’s expression turned gloomy. But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original state.. He was smiling, as if nothing had changed, but at the same time, everything had changed.
