Chapter 98: They recognized each other just like that? That's too hasty!
If Jiang Chuhuai still cannot recognize that the person in front of him is his long-lost biological sister, then he is truly incredibly foolish and stupid!
Back then, when their country was tragically destroyed, Jiang Chuhuai was only five or six years old. However, even at such a young age, some things were already deeply imprinted on his heart, especially the words his mother had repeatedly told him.
"Xiao Huai, you must remember that your sister bears an immense responsibility in the future. She is the only one in our entire family to inherit the will of the Supreme God. If you are ever separated in the future, you can identify each other by the dazzling seven-colored lotus flower ornament on your sister's forehead. The key to activating this ornament is that rare and precious fire essence jade. I have already had it crafted into two exquisite jade pendants, one for you and one for your sister. Remember, no matter when or where, you two must always carry these pendants close to your bodies, and never lose them or let them out of your sight. Do you understand?"
Jiang Chuhuai, still quite young at the time, nodded emphatically and replied in a firm and clear childish voice, "I understand, Mother. Please rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect my little sister!"
Jiang Chuhuai stood there, his heart churning like a stormy sea, a multitude of thoughts swirling within him. His deep, gentle eyes remained fixed on Jiang Shiliu, who was intently examining the hairpin. At that moment, she was completely absorbed in her curiosity and exploration of the hairpin, oblivious to Jiang Chuhuai's doting gaze.
However, at this moment, Jiang Shiliu was engaged in a fierce internal dialogue with the system. She said anxiously, "System, this is terrible! The jade pendant that proved my identity is gone! Without it, how can I prove my true identity in the future!"
The system responded calmly, "Host, why don't you calm down and think about this carefully? This jade pendant turned into a hairpin right in front of both you and your brother Jiang Chuhuai. Do you really think your brother knew nothing about it?"
The system's reminder made Jiang Shiliu realize, "Oh yeah, look at my memory! I completely forgot about this. So what should I do next? Should I just acknowledge him as my father? But wouldn't that be too awkward?"
Faced with Jiang Shiliu's dilemma, the system said it couldn't help: "Well, this system isn't quite sure either. You'll have to make the decision yourself, since it concerns the relationship between you and your brother. Alright, this system is going home to rest now. Bye~"
Hearing that the system was going to abandon the project, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh! System, you can't do this! How can you be so irresponsible..."
"Um... if I say I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?" Jiang Shiliu took a deep breath, mustered her courage, raised her head, and said to Jiang Chuhuai with a stiff upper lip. Her eyes darted around, not daring to look him in the eye, and her hands unconsciously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Chuhuai was slightly taken aback, then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a warm smile: "I believe you! I believe everything you say." He gazed tenderly at the cautious girl in front of him, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.
Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu stared at Jiang Chuhuai in disbelief, her face filled with astonishment, her mouth agape as if it could fit an egg. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and stammered, "Hmm??? Then... then if I told you that someone put a poison in your room that could make people obey others, and I happen to have an antidote that can cure all poisons, would you believe me?" As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and directly took out a crystal-clear antidote pill from her spatial storage, which emitted a faint fragrance, and slowly handed it to Jiang Chuhuai.
However, when Jiang Shiliu saw the ambiguous smile on Jiang Chuhuai's face, she suddenly felt uneasy and began to doubt whether he would really believe her words. So, just as she hesitated whether to withdraw her hand, Jiang Chuhuai snatched the pill from her hand with lightning speed and swallowed it without hesitation.
"I believe you, no matter what. The fact that you have this jade pendant means that you are related to me by blood, because you are my sister! Silly girl!" Jiang Chuhuai smiled and ruffled Jiang Shiliu's hair, his eyes full of doting and trust.
"Don't you even suspect that I'm actually an imposter? Maybe I just happened to find this jade pendant and then pretended to be your sister!" Jiang Shiliu stared at Jiang Chuhuai with a face full of doubt, thinking to herself, is this brother a fool who believed her without hesitation just because she showed him the jade pendant?
However, Jiang Chuhuai simply smiled, looking at his younger sister with doting eyes, and said softly, "Of course not. This jade pendant is just one of the tokens that we recognized each other. No one can fake something that truly proves our identity."
Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but feel anxious. She had originally planned to tell Jiang Chuhuai directly about his tragic fate in the original book. However, whenever she tried to speak, she found that the words seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible force, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get them out of her mouth.
Gradually, Jiang Shiliu realized that this might be due to the mysterious will inherent in this world. If she rashly revealed the truth, it would inevitably disrupt the entire story's development, making the originally simple and clear situation intricate and unpredictable. In this way, not only might she be unable to change the predetermined ending, but it might even trigger more unexpected troubles and crises. Thinking of this, Jiang Shiliu had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the idea of revealing the truth to Jiang Chuhuai.
Furthermore, Jiang Shiliu solemnly discussed with Jiang Chuhuai, "Let's not announce our recognition for now. There are still people who harbor ill intentions towards our lives and are eyeing us covetously!" Jiang Chuhuai nodded slightly in agreement. After all, they had no idea who the mysterious person behind the scenes was, and it was this person who caused their country to vanish like a shooting star in the long river of history.
Recalling the horrific scene, Jiang Chuhuai still feels lingering fear. He had witnessed his mother and father die tragically before his eyes, both ruthlessly slit in the throat by that mysterious man. Not only that, he himself was also severely injured and immediately lost consciousness.
When Jiang Chuhuai finally awoke, three full days had passed. As soon as he regained consciousness, he urgently summoned his master, Bei Xi, pleading with him to search again to see if he could find his lost sister. However, Bei Xi told him gravely that the entire country had been utterly destroyed, and even his treacherous uncle had perished. Looking around, not a single person in the entire nation had survived. Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chuhuai was struck dumb, standing there speechless for a long time. From that moment on, he never mentioned the matter again.
It wasn't until he met Jiang Shiliu today that the fire element within the jade pendant became active again, rekindling a glimmer of hope for Jiang Chuhuai—perhaps his sister was still alive.
