In a remote house in Shangjing City.

"啾啾~啾啾~"

A palm-sized crimson bird landed under the eaves and chirped non-stop toward the closed window.

The window was pushed open with a creak.

"Come!"

A hoarse voice sounded, and a man in a white inner garment waved to the bird. The bird immediately spread its wings and flew towards the open window, finally landing in the man's palm.

If Shen Wanwan were here at this moment, she would definitely be shocked—

The King of Qin, who had not been seen for just a few days, had lost all color in his face, and his white inner garment was stained with blood, which was shocking.

The situation inside was even more shocking. In the huge dormitory, there was not a single intact piece of furniture. Furniture debris and broken chains lay scattered and quiet on the ground. It was impossible to imagine what had happened here.

Gu Beichen untied a small bamboo tube from the bird's leg, took out a piece of paper from it, unfolded the paper, and soon showed an expression of surprise and confusion.

A dead tree comes back to life with spring?

I've heard of iron trees blooming, but I've never heard of dead trees coming back to life.

"Button! Button! Button!"

"Your Highness, is the Red Spirit Bird here?" Xie Moxuan's voice was a little hurried.

"Well, come in."

The door creaked open, and Xie Moxuan stepped over the threshold and walked in. When he saw the scene inside the house, he couldn't help but frown.

"Beichen, why are you doing this? Zi Ling's acupuncture can at least relieve your pain a little..."

“It didn’t work.”

"what?"

"Now I have nothing to hide from you. Zi Ling's acupuncture has no effect on the Ice Soul Ghost poison. I used to be able to avoid much pain during the full moon nights of every month, not because of her acupuncture."

Xie Moxuan was stunned. He had never expected the truth of the matter to be like this. "Then..."

"That jade pendant with the lotus pattern you saw before, it relieves the pain during viral attacks."

"Jade pendant?"

Xie Moxuan was stunned. He had seen that jade pendant before. At that time, he thought that jade pendants with such patterns were rare. He curiously asked him about the origin of the jade pendant, but he only said that the jade pendant was extremely important to him and refused to say anything else.

The two of them had known each other since childhood. Before the incidents happened to the Xie family and the Mu family, Gu Beichen's maternal grandfather, they had a very good relationship. Later, when the two families encountered accidents one after another, the two of them saved each other at the critical moment of life and death, supporting each other all the way, and they had already become friends for life.

He knew everything about everything except the jade pendant.

But, can such a small jade pendant really have such great power?

Gu Beichen nodded slightly, a rare tenderness in his eyes, "It's a pity that I lost it... Maybe it's returned to its original owner."

He was not sure whether the jade pendant was lost or taken away by Wanwan. Relatively speaking, he was more inclined to the latter.

That thing originally belonged to her. She grabbed it in a daze back then. She never thought it would accompany her for five whole years. It should have been returned to its original owner long ago.

Five years ago, Gu Beichen was ambushed on his way back to Shangjing. He was shot in the shoulder blade and accidentally fell into the water and never got out. A little girl saved him when he was in a daze. When he woke up, he found that he was holding a jade pendant with special patterns in his hand.

Later, after investigation, he learned that his savior was Shen Wanwan, the daughter of the prime minister, and he guessed that the jade pendant was hers.

He had intended to return the jade pendant in person, but was delayed for various things. Later, when the Ice Soul Ghost Poison attacked, he was not in excruciating pain like before. He took out the jade pendant from his arms and found that the pain would spread again as soon as the jade pendant left his hand. From then on, he knew that the jade pendant had a suppressing and relieving effect on the Ice Soul Ghost Poison in his body. He temporarily gave up the idea of ​​returning the jade pendant and kept it with him all the time.

He has not been able to find out how he was poisoned and who did it. He doesn't want the person who poisoned him to know that he has a secret treasure that can suppress the Ice Soul Ghost, so he has been accepting acupuncture from Zi Ling.

Now that the jade pendant is gone, he can't let Zi Ling give him acupuncture again, otherwise the fact that the Ice Soul Ghost poison in his body is not relieved by acupuncture will be exposed. He can't put his savior into uncertain danger.
