"Sir, I was unable to complete the task and almost alerted the enemy." Feng Xuan reported the situation in one breath to the man in black, knowing that he shouldn't try any tricks in front of this person, or else...
The man in black clothes picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then slowly opened his mouth: "Did the mission fail?" Feng Xun said: "Yes, I was incompetent, please punish me, young master." After finishing speaking, Feng Xun lowered his head, waiting for the person in front of him to speak.
From the moment he saved himself, Feng Xun decided to follow him for life, to repay his lifesaving grace. It was a dark past, and every time he thought about it, Feng Xun's heart would surge with fear. He didn't want to think about it anymore, so from that moment on, he decided to abandon the past and start anew.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy, and although there were only two people, Feng Xun still felt a sense of oppression. After a long time, the man in black said calmly, "I know, I'll be more careful next time." Is that all? Feng Xun raised his head, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before turning calm again. He asked, "Why?" The man in black replied calmly, "I saved you, not to kill you. Remember, your life is mine to give. Without my permission, don't think about dying."
No emotion could be heard in the voice, Feng Xun hugged his fist and silently exited the room. After taking another sip of tea, the man in black gently took out the jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in front of him, lightly stroking it as he gazed at the small image inside, a faint self-mockery smile slowly appeared on his lips before he put the pendant back into his pocket...
On the street, Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit were walking slowly, as if it had been a long time since they did this. Just the two of them, in the past, there used to be five others with them, and bursts of laughter would often be heard... But, such days will soon return!
The two returned to the inn, but were surprised to find that everyone was awake, except for Xiaoli who was sleeping soundly. They couldn't help but ask: "Master and mistress, you..." Shuilingling smiled and said: "I saw that your expressions weren't right, so I let them not eat first, but unexpectedly Xiaoli had already eaten, so it became like this."
Dingdang said with some relief, "Fortunately, I didn't eat it, or else I would have ended up like Xiaoli!" Blue Rabbit sincerely praised, "Thanks to Master's cleverness, otherwise everyone would be dizzy now." Hantian asked, "What's the origin of that little second?" Hongmao replied, "It's not a little second, I reckon someone knocked him out and swapped clothes with him, disguising himself and sneaking in."
Han Tian furrowed his brow upon hearing the words and asked, "What is their purpose?" Hong Mao shook her head and said, "It's still unknown for now. We need to be careful these few days and not alarm them prematurely." Everyone nodded in agreement and nudged the sleeping Xiao Ling awake, asking with some resentment, "Then what about this little fox?" Hong Mao replied, "Let him sleep for now; he'll wake up soon enough." Shui Lingling spoke up, "We should eat first. I had the people at the shop remake a dish and send it over. Let's eat quickly." And so everyone gathered around the table to eat. After the meal, they rested for a while before Gu Jiujiu said, "Alright, disciples! Let's head down the mountain to practice our skills!"
Blue Rabbit said, "I'll stay behind to take care of the baby, and also keep an eye on Little Lixue. I can also pay attention to the movements in the inn." Rainbow Cat said, "Then thank you for your hard work, Blue Rabbit." Blue Rabbit smiled slightly, and Turtle 999 said, "Since that's the case, let's go first." Water Lingling said, "Blue Rabbit, then trouble you with this. I haven't gone out in these few days, so it's a good opportunity to get some fresh air."
"Don't worry, madam, I'm here." Shuiling nodded reassuringly and walked out the door with everyone else.
Han Tian walked out last, before stepping out of the door, he turned his head and looked at Blue Rabbit, saying: "You be careful too." "Mm-hmm." Blue Rabbit smiled slightly, Han Tian turned his head and left the room. Blue Rabbit sat down beside the bed, looking at the sleeping baby, a wave of affection rose in her heart, as if she had thought of something, from her bosom she took out a jade pendant, which was exactly the one that helped her recover her memory.
Blue Rabbit stared at the jade pendant in a daze, remembering when she first took over as the master of Jade Toad Palace, about this piece of jade pendant, only said that it was left by Jade Rabbit Fairy, with a little divine power, but nothing else was mentioned, however, she always felt that this piece of jade pendant still had some uses that she didn't know.
