C10 An Inexplicable Sense of Familiarity

"Me? You'll know soon enough. "

"…" Qin Xiaoxi was stupefied. This was the most he had said since they met.

Although the small yard that Qin Xiaoxi lived in was a little remote and had fewer people, the environment was still quite nice. Besides a few small attics, there was also a lotus pond. In summer, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were in full bloom. The pavilion in the lotus pond was a good place to enjoy the lotus flowers.

However, the man had no interest in lotus flowers, and Qin Xiaoxi had no interest in lotus flowers either. However, they still sat in the pavilion — because the wound on Qin Xiaoxi's neck needed medicine.

When her ice-cold hand touched her neck, Qin Xiaoxi shrunk her neck back. "Your hand is cold!"

His hand wasn't cold, it was just that the ointment was a little cold.

"Come here!" Lifting the little girl's chin, the man dabbed some ointment on his finger and gently applied it to the red mark. The little girl's skin was fair, and when the red mark fell on her skin, it was particularly obvious.

Qin Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and stared at the man. "Are you the baby's brother?"

"..." This girl didn't even recognize her own brother … "That's not it..." Although he really wanted such a cute little sister, but … He really wasn't the big brother that she longed for.

"Alright then …" Streaks of light flickered, and his purple eyes revealed a trace of sadness. If it was her elder brother, he would have brought her away a long time ago. He was just someone who was good to her, not her brother.

"Xiaoxi, is that brother of yours being good to you?" the man asked.

"That's right! Big Brother is the best person for me. " His tone was filled with affirmation as well as deep love.

"..." The man said nothing, but concentrated on applying the ointment to all her bruises.

"You're very nice to me, too." Qin Xiaoxi poked the man's shoulder playfully. "If it wasn't for you, I might have been stuck in that pond forever."

Sighing lightly, the man put the ointment away, unable to resist rubbing her head, "Good girl." He should be glad that he was a righteous man. Otherwise, he really would not be able to hold back from adding a few more wounds to her body.

"I'll give you one more thing. As long as you keep it with you, no one will dare hurt Xiaoxi." If the Boundless Jade Pendant was not the trump card, he would have to use it …

"Hmm? What is it? " Qin Xiaoxi looked at him curiously.

The man took out a box from his sleeve and placed it in her arms. "Open it and take a look."

Qin Xiaoxi nodded obediently and opened the box. The contents inside made her eyes light up.

"What are these …" Even though they all looked like jade, however … It didn't seem to be a jade pendant at all … Moreover, these jades were all red in color.

man in black saw the box from a distance and was stunned once again.

Lord really didn't take the wrong medicine today, right... He actually gave away the thing that signified his identity.

Even though... Even though that little girl did look a little better … Alright, although that little girl was very pretty, it shouldn't be like this … Could it be … Could it be that Lord had taken a fancy to that girl?

"There are some things that Xiaoxi might not need, but most of them can be used." Picking up a jade hairpin, the man said, "These are all accessories. I'll tell Xiaoxi how to use them."

It wasn't easy to explain the contents and uses of the box, so the man placed the jade hairpin back into the box and asked, "Xiaoxi, do you understand?"

Qin Xiaoxi blinked and nodded. "I understand. Thank you."

"Well, I can't stay here. You have to protect yourself in the future, otherwise how are you going to find your brother? " The man stood up. "I'm leaving."

The words "look for your brother" warmed Qin Xiaoxi's heart. She stood up and waved back.

"Mm, goodbye."

The two men in black walked away, one in front of the other. Qin Xiaoxi smiled innocently while stroking the exquisite jade artifacts in the box. "Thank you …"

"Lord …" man in black whispered.

"Mo, are you curious why I gave such an important thing to someone else?"

man in black nodded.

The man glanced back at the courtyard, the corners of his mouth curving up beneath the mask. "Because she's worth it."

Red jade was the most precious treasure in the world, something that even the royal families of the various countries would find hard to find. However, for those who loved each other, each person would receive a set of jewelry made from red jade.

Over time, the person wearing the red jade became an honored guest of the world. This was because the majority of people who wore red jade were people who had boundless love for each other.

If one were to say that the people who had the Longevity Jade Pendant were highly sought after by the royal family, then the person who wore the red jade would be the person they wished to become a deity offering.

He believed that the second lady of the Right Prime Minister's Estate would know who she was and who she was not capable of offending. Furthermore, with the red jade, the disciples who were travelling would take care of the little girl.

That child could be said to be the first person who cared about him like a friend. She did not even know his name, nor did she ask where he came from. Although she was interested in his appearance, she had never secretly taken off his mask. Such a little girl was worth protecting.

Furthermore … That inexplicable sense of familiarity...

"Lord …" "Actually, I have a feeling that …"

"I know …" In fact, I suspected she was the one the guy was looking for. However … Now he's given up, hasn't he? "

Her manner was very similar to that of the man. But … Before he presented her information, that fellow had already retracted his order, so … He wanted to be selfish for once.

Just once.

Qin Xiaoxi considered herself an obedient child, so she always carried a piece of jewelry made of red jade on her body.

Even if Qin Sixi hated her to the point of gnashing her teeth, she wouldn't dare to face her fair and square opponent. As for Qin Yan, if he could dodge, then he would dodge.

The Longevity Jade Pendant was still acceptable, but the person wearing the red jade was not allowed to touch it.

Xia Nan Kingdom approached the south, while Beibing Kingdom of the north relied on the courage of their people in battle, frequently attacking Xia Nan Kingdom's northern borders.

Since Prince Mu appeared, Beibing Kingdom no longer dared to say that they were brave and good at fighting. This was because they had attacked Xia Nan Kingdom ten times, and not a single time had been a victory.

It was also thanks to their ten defeats that Prince Mu became famous throughout the world. Because the ten consecutive losses of Beibing Kingdom was personally led by Prince Mu.
