C7 Conflict

"…" Alright …

As Third Miss's Qin Family, she hadn't come home for a few days and nights. What she was going to face this time, was a huge challenge! He hoped that the jade pendant would be of some help to him … Of course, if a guest came tomorrow, there would be no such thing as tomorrow.

However, there were no such things as' ifs' in the world.

When Qin Xiaoxi knelt in Qin Yan's study room, she understood this logic.

Even though his father's study wasn't big, it was filled with paintings. She did not know any of those paintings,

However, both her father and mother did not intend to hire a female teacher to teach her how to read. After all, it didn't matter if he could read or not for the sake of a shield.

Pen, ink, paper, and paper were essential items on the desk. However, today, besides the brush, ink and paper, there was also an additional whip.

Qin Xiaoxi looked down at her knees and curled her lips disdainfully. Father did not dare to hit her, because there would be a few distinguished guests from time to time on Qin Mansion. If even her most beloved child were beaten up, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Tell me!" "What have you been doing these past few days?" The man's majestic voice resounded throughout the study.

Qin Xiaoxirin wiped away the disdain between her eyebrows and replied shyly, "Daddy, I just met a very friendly friend and went out for a few days."

"Friend? Xiaoxi! "You are a big girl, yet you are running around everywhere. What if someone has ulterior motives and captures you?!" Qin Yan was so angry that even his beard was trembling.

Of course, she didn't know why he was so angry.

Lowering her head, Qin Xiaoxi's ten fingers were entwined together, her round eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely helpless. Father, I was wrong. Xiaoxi won't dare to do it again. "

The atmosphere in the study was very depressing. Qin Yan picked up his whip, walked around the desk to Qin Xiaoxi and said, "If you are wrong, you must be punished!"

His voice was ice-cold, and he no longer had the appearance of a kind father. Even if there were no guests in the manor, Qin Xiaoxi had never seen her father in such a state.

The whip dropped to the ground. Qin Xiaoxi shivered as an ominous premonition arose in her heart. Father... It can't be true...

"Daddy, Xiaoxi really knows she's wrong. Daddy, Xiaoxi should give you a present. Daddy will like it. " The situation was not looking good. Qin Xiaoxi immediately took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it over to Qin Yan with both hands.

Jade pendant? A look of surprise flashed across Qin Yan's face, but he picked up the jade pendant that the girl held in her hands. As soon as he held the jade pendant in his hand, he could feel the coldness radiating from it. He looked at the window for a moment and felt that it was just a plaything for a child. However, the moment the words appeared on the jade pendant, his face turned pale.

"Who gave you this jade pendant!" Qin Yan asked harshly.

Without even raising her head to look at her father's expression, Qin Xiaoxi knew that her father was afraid of this jade pendant. She looked at the whip hanging on the ground, and her mouth curved into a cute smile.

"It's from a friend I met a few days ago." If father likes it, then I'll just give it to father. " Qin Xiaoxi said ingratiatingly. However, her head was lowered, and her expression was unreadable.

Qin Yan squinted at his daughter, who was obediently kneeling on the ground, while the hand holding the whip slightly trembled.

In terms of color, this jade pendant was indeed of the upper class. However, the words on the jade pendant were priceless.

I will wait for you to come home.

Xia Nan Kingdom was considered a more peaceful country, because not many died during the change of dynasty. However, the other countries were different. Almost every change in dynasty would result in a river of blood. This was not considered terrifying. What was even more frightening was that once an emperor died in the hands of a powerful country, their princes would usurp the throne. The princes who won the throne all had one thing in common — their teachers were all from the same clan.

That gang was called the Boundless Lovesick. Up till now, no one knew where the home of Acacia Boundless was.

The people of this world abhor thinking about each other the most because they are people of the royal family. With the help of someone from the Acacia Faction, he could become a lofty emperor. How many of the royal juniors were not interested in the throne?

There were many people who wanted to acknowledge Wuya as their master, but very few people were able to find someone who came from Wuya's world.

And their keepsake was a jade pendant, engraved with the words "Acacia Boundless, waiting for you to return home". Sometimes, they would give the jade pendant to their friends. Those who had the jade pendant would have to be protected by the royal family, because no one wouldn't want to win over those with boundless love to serve them. To win over their friends, in a way, was to win over them.

Qin Yan might not be able to fight, but neither could he. If he did, then he was afraid that her so-called friend would cause trouble for Qin Mansion. If he did not, where would his dignity go?

But, if he didn't step out of the door and his daughter stayed in the same house, where would he get the chance to meet someone who shared a boundless love? He could even obtain the jade pendant of endless yearning? It seems like she hasn't seen me for the past few days … There must be many opportunities …

Looking at the exquisite jade pendant in his hand, Qin Yan put the whip back.

Qin Xiaoxi heaved a sigh of relief. Even though she wasn't afraid of being beaten up, she was still unhappy about being beaten up.

"Forget it, forget it this time." If you go out and play next time, remember to tell your parents and I will be worried. " Qin Yan said, his voice softening. He hesitated for a moment, then crouched down and patted the child's head as if he was comforting him, "If you meet your friend who gave you the jade pendant again, remember to invite him to Qin Mansion play."

With that, he tied the jade pendant around Qin Xiaoxi's neck. "Go out."

Qin Xiaoxi nodded and obediently left the study with her head lowered.

Only after staying away from that dangerous place did she feel truly at ease. Her father was afraid of the jade pendant, so she should live a better life in the future. If not for that fellow's jade pendant, she might have … Another unworthy beating.

Holding the jade pendant in front of her chest, Qin Xiaoxi quickly wanted to return to her own yard. She was curious about what this jade pendant represented that would even cause her father, that old fox, to change his attitude.

Unfortunately, the heavens failed. There were always those who came to her when she was safely out of the study.

"Third sister, stop!"

Hearing that voice, Qin Xiaoxi obediently stopped and looked over.

A delicate woman in a yellow skirt approached her. The woman had a beautiful figure with a complex bun on her head, and her appearance was also first-class. Following behind her were a few docile servants, making the proud woman look even more arrogant and domineering.

When Qin Xiaoxi saw who it was, she turned her body to the side, curled her lips, and obediently called out, "Second Sister."

"Third sister, I haven't seen you these past few days. How have you been?" Qin Sixi pushed Qin Xiaoxi with her hand as she smiled arrogantly.

Caught off guard, Qin Xiaoxi was pushed back several steps and almost fell to the ground. Her gaze changed as she lowered her head, pretending to be 'afraid'. She shrunk her neck and retreated a few steps.

According to the rules of the past fourteen or fifteen years, when her Second Sister saw her like this, she would feel bored and walk away.

She no longer had a brother in this world, and after so many years of enduring, she had long since gotten used to it.

The path back to her courtyard was sparsely populated to begin with, but now that she was stuck halfway, the servant girls passing by lowered their heads and pretended not to see her hurrying towards her. Qin Xiaoxi understood that she could only rely on herself, and seemed to have no other choice. After all, no matter what, it was only possible that she would be in the wrong when fighting Second Sister.

"Yo, why aren't you talking? Could it be that you think that just because father doesn't beat you up, I, as your big sister, won't teach you a lesson? " Qin Sixi pointed at her sister, whom she had always disliked, and laughed as if she had seen a toy dog.

It wasn't that Qin Xiaoxi couldn't see the killing intent in Second Sister's eyes. Holding the jade pendant, she chose to remain silent.

"Arrest her, the fish in the pond haven't been fed in a long time." Qin Sixi turned her head to the servant girl behind her. Seeing that no one dared to step forward, she said, "Don't worry. Mother said that as long as I'm happy, everything will be fine."

Upon hearing the last part of his words, the eyes of the female servants, who originally had some scruples, all shone as they approached Qin Xiaoxi.

In this world, the people who added insult to injury were the ones who were not lacking.

No matter what, she was still a weak girl. Qin Xiaoxi was besieged. She barely had to struggle before her limbs were caught.

Qin Xiaoxi remained silent and looked coldly at the haughty girl. Second Sister seemed to want to throw her into the pond to feed the fish. The fish in the pond wouldn't be able to bite her to death, but it was hard to say if she would drown to death.

She couldn't swim, and with her brother's protection, she didn't need to swim.

His feet were tied, and his hands were held by two maids. Qin Xiaoxi lowered her head, feeling the gazes of sympathy and schadenfreude from her surroundings. She clenched her fists tightly.

Previously, many people wanted her violet eyes, but because of her older brother's presence, no one succeeded. Now, many people wanted her life, because her brother wasn't here, so they were about to succeed.

It was as if she had always lived by her brother.

Now... Elder brother is not here …

After making a few more detours, Qin Sixi, her servant girl, and her spoils of war finally arrived at the pond in the back garden.

Many maids surrounded him to watch the show. Qin Sixi raised her head like a proud peacock, looking down on Qin Xiaoxi.

Qin Xiaoxi stared at the girl in the yellow skirt, the pain in her neck slowly breaking. "Give it back to me!"

"This jade pendant is so beautiful, is it a gift from daddy?" Qin Sixi played with the jade pendant. Her eyes were filled with greed, unwilling to leave the pendant.

She had never intended to listen to Qin Xiaoxi's answer, so she added, "I like it. It's mine now."

Suddenly, a glint flashed across her eyes. She stretched out her hand to pull off the jade pendant hanging on Qin Xiaoxi's chest.
