Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

Imperial Capital Hotel.

Xiao Jiu Jiu arrived quite late.

As soon as she entered the private room, she apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Ye, I'm late. I had a little trouble on the way here. I'm so sorry~"

"No need to apologize to me. I've heard about what happened. It has nothing to do with you." Ye Chen stood up and patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's head.

Xiao Jiu Jiu looked up at him: "Ah, you already knew? Did the news spread so fast?"

"Hongfeng has already told me about it."

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly: "I'll handle that person who staged the accident."

"I'm fine, but I find it strange that she would try to scam me when there's such an obvious camera." Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head, looking puzzled.

The coal ball next to him meowed: "[It's all part of a conspiracy. I saw someone spying on you guys earlier.]"

Chang Hongfeng said alertly, "Miss Jiu is right. This staged accident is completely illogical and should be investigated."

"Yes, I will send someone to investigate."

Ye Chen called out, "I've had the food served. Xiao Jiu, come and eat."

"Yay, so much delicious food!"

Xiao Jiujiu excitedly sat down in her seat: "I could smell the fragrance as soon as I entered the room."

"Eat more if you like it."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he looked up at Chang Hongfeng and said, "Why don't you sit down and eat with us? It's inconvenient to eat so late."

"Okay Mr. Ye."

Chang Hongfeng sat down and started eating without any hesitation.

After the group finished eating, Xiao Jiu Jiu asked, "Brother Ye, is someone targeting me?"

"You don't need to worry about this, your brother has taken care of it for you." Ye Chen looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't press the matter further.

"By the way, Brother Ye, is Grandpa Ye feeling better?" She was still a little worried when she heard that Grandpa Ye was injured.

Ye Chen nodded: "Grandpa's health is fine now, and the traitors in the family have all been dealt with."

"That's good." Xiao Jiu Jiu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Ye Chen joked, "Is there something mystical you want to tell me?"

"No, it's just that I want to thank Brother Ye for helping me and for putting in so much effort." Xiao Jiu Jiu gave him a sweet smile.

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's what I should do as your brother. After this is finished, you can tell me what kind of drama you want to film in the future."

"Um, not for now." Xiao Jiujiu raised her hands in surrender.

arrive home.

Just as Xiao Jiu Jiu was about to enter the house, Mei Qiu meowed beside her: "Didn't you receive your mother's 'last item' today? Aren't you going to check with your father to confirm?"

“You know, Coal Ball, she’s not dead.” Little Nine-Nine’s gaze was heavy as she recalled hearing the news of her mother’s death when she returned home.

What she saw later after her physiognomy skills improved.

"Yes, she's not dead, but don't you want to know what the person who gave you this dagger is up to?" Coal Ball advised from the side.

They had difficulty communicating while in the car.

I haven't gone home yet, so let's take this opportunity to chat a bit more.

Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Yes, I want to know why my mother abandoned me!"

Go back and ask your dad if he knows anything about this dagger; it's definitely worth a lot of money.

There must be some special reason, otherwise they wouldn't have given it to you.

Hearing what Coal Ball said, Little Nine-Nine focused her attention on the dagger.

When she got home, she saw Qin Yuyang sitting in the living room again.

The large television in front of him was playing the news, while he himself was looking at the tablet in his hand, lost in thought.

"Nine……"

"Shh!"

The butler was about to speak when Xiao Jiujiu stopped him.

She gestured for the housekeeper to be quiet, then her gaze fell on Qin Yuyang.

The butler on the other end tactfully left.

After the housekeeper left, Xiao Jiu Jiu tiptoed upstairs.

"stop!"

Qin Yuyang suddenly called out to Xiao Jiujiu.

Little Jiu Jiu turned around, blinking her big eyes: "Daddy, is there something you need?"

"Where did you go when you came back so late?" Qin Yuyang looked up at Xiao Jiujiu.

The coal ball over there showed no intention of making her stand as punishment.

He jumped down and went back to his room.

Xiao Jiu Jiu stood on the stairs and smiled awkwardly: "I went to film a movie, so I'm a little late."

"You're still a kid, so even when you're filming on set, you have to be mindful of the time."

"Besides, I heard from your director that you left quite a while ago. Your place isn't that far from here, is it?"

Qin Yuyang said calmly.

Xiao Jiu Jiu chuckled softly, "That's true, but I went to eat with Brother Ye."

You know, I usually don't refuse Brother Ye's invitations.

"okay I know."

Qin Yuyang glanced at Xiao Jiujiu, "From now on, if you go out to eat with someone, you have to tell your dad."

Otherwise, Dad wouldn't know where you are.

"Okay!" Xiao Jiu Jiu gave him a cute smile, and Qin Yuyang's anger vanished.

Qin Yuyang waved his hand: "I can't control you anymore. Go upstairs and wash up first."

"Is Daddy waiting for someone while he's sitting here?" Little Jiu Jiu tilted her head curiously, her eyes clear and puzzled.

Qin Yuyang, who was named: ...

"I've been waiting for you. You can go back now. I'll sit here for a while longer." Qin Yuyang picked up his tablet impatiently and started watching.

Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow and skipped back home.

"You stinky lump of coal, you didn't wait for me at all, you're awful!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes at the coal ball on the bed after closing the door.

She strongly condemned the behavior of some cats running away on their own.

Coal Ball: [Waiting for you is no use, I'm just a little kitten.]

Little Nine said sarcastically, "You're just a~little~kitty~"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Coal Ball quickly stretched out its claws to plug Little Nine's mouth.

Little Nine smugly hummed twice: "You come again, I dare to do it again!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I promise next time," Coal Ball quickly tried to appease Little Nine-Nine.

After taking a shower, Xiao Jiu Jiu opened the box that the person had given her that morning again.

"This dagger is very sharp, and it has many gems on it. I can also smell a faint scent of blood."

Xiao Jiujiu sniffed lightly and furrowed her brow.

"This dagger is quite old," Coal Ball said casually.

At this moment, Ao Che appeared: "I'm familiar with this dagger! I was already a soul at the time, and I went traveling."

It's the time now when people talk about traveling abroad.

The guy named Maha had this dagger made, supposedly to be a gift, but apparently something happened to him later.

I don't know the specifics, but a lot of people died.

The dagger was then returned to Istanbul and has remained in the royal treasury ever since.

"You know that too?" The curiosity in Xiao Jiu Jiu's eyes was genuine.

Ao Che shrugged: "Of course I know, I watched this dagger being made."

"Are you here to see the dagger? I think you're just after the gems on it," Coal Ball said, immediately seeing through Ao Che's little scheme.

With a light snort, Ao Che said, "What's wrong with liking gemstones! Back in the day, my cave was full of treasures."

Those are all gold veins!

"Wow, you must have a lot of gold!" Little Jiu Jiu excitedly stretched out her little hand to Ao Che.

Ao Che immediately pretended not to see it: "No, don't look for me."

"What about your cave?" Little Jiu Jiu looked at Ao Che with bright eyes, hoping to get some good stuff from there.

His expression stiffened for a moment, then Ao Che said, "No, I don't remember where it is."

You know, I'm getting old, so it's normal that I don't remember many things.

Little Nine-Nine: ?

“You were a young dragon when you died, and you are still a young dragon now. Nobody believes you’re old!” Xiao Jiu Jiu glared angrily at Ao Che in front of her.

Not honest!

She narrowed her eyes dangerously, staring intently at Ao Che: "Hey, you stinky dragon!"

The childish voice carried a hint of arrogance: "Don't you really remember the glittering cave you painstakingly decorated?"

Could it really have disappeared after all the changes of time?

"How could that be!" Ao Che retorted without even thinking.

He coughed lightly twice: "You're overthinking it."

"You should know that there are quite a lot of tomb raiders among us, and we've probably been to all sorts of places."

"Maybe your treasure has already been stolen!" Little Jiu Jiu remembered something she saw on TV and quickly made up a story to scare Ao Che.

Ao Che was ultimately a hollow dragon; he had a few tricks up his sleeve, but not many.

He looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu's unwavering gaze, swallowed hard, and said helplessly, "Little girl, just listen to me. How old are you? What do you care about treasures?"

"Let's talk about it when you're older!"

Ao Che was sweating profusely, realizing that his plan had been too easily figured out.

"A gold vein..." Xiao Jiujiu murmured to herself.

Ao Che retorted, "There's no gold mine at all. I made it all up. I deliberately released it to lure you in. Actually, I was lying just now!"

"nonsense!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks: "You just said there was gold in your mine because of the money, and now you're going back on your word? I heard you perfectly clearly!"

You don't want me to come over now, do you?

Coal Ball couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ao Che get the short end of the stick.

Its little paw poked at Ao Che's illusory figure beside it, [Hahaha, what a coward! No backbone at all!]

These hurtful words made Ao Che's face turn dark.

He glared at the coal ball, then coughed a few times, "Alright, alright, I'll reluctantly tell you!"

That place is in…

"Really?" Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head.

She didn't know the address, so she took out her phone and searched for it: "My God, it's so far!"

"Of course it's far! That place has a natural protective barrier; ordinary people can't get it even if they want to!"

Ao Che said arrogantly, "You saw it yourself, it's such a dangerous place, you'd better not go!"

"Are you really not lying to me?" Xiao Jiu raised her eyebrows suspiciously, looking intently at Ao Che.

Ao Che held his head high and puffed out his chest, putting on a confident look: "How could I possibly lie to a child? If I were to lie to a child, I would gladly accept the punishment."

"Alright then." Little Nine stroked her chin: "Hmph, if you lie to me, I won't let you live in the Soul-Nourishing Banner anymore. I'll make you leave, let your spiritual energy dissipate, and fall into reincarnation."

Ao Che's lips twitched slightly: "Don't worry, I promise I won't lie to you! If you don't believe me, ask your coal ball and see if that place is a beautiful and auspicious spot."

Seeing that things were starting to involve him, Coal Ball tilted his head, plopped down on the bed, and said: "I don't know! I'm just a little kitten, I don't know anything else."

"I'll go check it out when I have my vacation," Xiao Jiujiu secretly made up her mind, then got up and closed the box.

Coal Ball asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to ask your dad?"

"I'll take a shower and change my clothes before going downstairs." Little Jiu Jiu quickly finished her shower, put on her cute pajamas, and trotted downstairs.

She stood at the top of the stairs and called out, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

Qin Yuyang put down his tablet and looked up at Xiao Jiujiu: "There's no one else in the living room, let's talk in the living room."

"No!" Xiao Jiujiu shook her head after glancing around. "I'm not going to say it here. I want to go upstairs to the study."

Qin Yuyang stood up and said, "What is it that you have to talk about in the study?"

"About my mother."

Just as Qin Yuyang was about to frown, he was stunned when he heard Xiao Jiu Jiu mention her mother.

"What do you know?" Qin Yuyang asked warily.

Xiao Jiujiu thought for a moment and said, "I know a lot, it's just something extremely important."

She waved her chubby little hand: "Come here, Daddy!"

"Fine!"

Qin Yuyang knew that Xiao Jiujiu wasn't someone who acted impulsively, so he nodded in agreement: "I'll go up with you."

Upon entering the study, Qin Yuyang sat in the executive chair: "If you have anything to say to me, you can say it now."

"Wait for me!"

Little Jiu Jiu ran back excitedly and quickly retrieved the box.

"Dad, look at this!"

Little Jiu Jiu ran over, closed the door behind her, and hugged the box tightly to her chest.

Qin Yuyang sat down and said, "Bring it here so I can take a look."

"Hmm." Xiao Jiu Jiu placed the box containing the dagger on Qin Yu Yang's table.

"Dad, look, do you recognize this?"

If Dad recognizes it too, Xiao Jiu Jiu can suspect that this thing might be a gift from Mom, as rumored.

Qin Yuyang had originally intended to just glance at it casually.

But when his gaze fell on the box, he was completely stunned: "How did this thing get here?"

He stood up stiffly and picked up the box.

Xiao Jiu Jiu clearly saw that his hand trembled slightly as he touched the box, as if he was recalling something deeply buried.

"Dad, Dad?"

Qin Yuyang was lost in thought while holding the box, and Xiao Jiujiu couldn't help but call out.

"Ah, it's nothing." Qin Yuhai came back to his senses and opened the box.

The dagger's cold gleam appeared eerily under the lamplight.

The exquisite dagger and the enormous gemstone are exactly the same as before.

Qin Yuyang couldn't help but take out the dagger and place it on the table, reaching into the box.

There, he touched familiar letters.

Qin Yuyang's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"dad?"

Little Jiu Jiu tilted her head and looked at Qin Yuyang, "Say something, Daddy, whose thing is this? Is it really Mommy's?"

How did you get this?

Qin Yuyang looked at Xiao Jiujiu with a bitter smile on his face...
