Chapter 686: What an Incredible Coincidence!
Xiao Xue’s large, watery eyes looked at Lianwu, with an innocent expression: "Didn’t we have something important just now?"
Lianwu’s heart was bleeding... If he knew the seventh Star Stone was in Xiao Xue’s hands, he would hold onto the remaining six without letting go... Oh heavens, is this how one toys with ghosts?
Lianwu blinked, moved the corner of his lips, and faced Xiao Xue’s innocent gaze; he too... felt helpless beyond words, unable to retort.
"It’s nothing."
Lianwu lightly uttered two words, silently standing by the lake, lost in thought.
Han Jing was also drunkenly overwhelmed; who could tell her why she never noticed her daughter had the potential for being scheming!
They spent so much effort and time, only to have everything resolved effortlessly by such a little girl.
This world of fantasy made her a bit perplexed.
She casually pinched Lan Ling’s arm hard.
Lan Ling yelped, jumped away, and glared at her: "What are you doing?!"
Han Jing said sullenly: "I just think it’s too coincidental."
Then she gestured for Lan Ling to be silent.
How Xiao Xue got that Star Stone is now only known to her and Lan Ling. The little girl was smart enough not to expose her grandfather, so they definitely couldn’t say anything either; otherwise... it wouldn’t just be the Ghost King, even Yun Feng and Su Yu would be frustrated to death.
They’ve been fiddling around this Ice Lake for years and never thought... the Star Stone was picked up.
...
No coincidence goes unwritten.
Lan Ling... indeed is, too strange. They really can’t betray Uncle Han; otherwise, he might be diced into pieces by the Ghost King.
"Ahem, Yun Feng, now that the seven Star Stones are gathered, can we start the Seven Star Stone Array?" Lan Ling lightly coughed, breaking the awkward tension.
Because it was very obvious from earlier that Su Yu’s gaze had always been lingering on Han Jing, yet Han Jing wouldn’t even glance at him.
Lan Ling felt Han Jing’s demeanor was a bit eerie. Even though earlier they speculated it was their scheme, but... the truth was genuinely heart-wrenching. Therefore... from his standpoint, he felt it was difficult for both sides!
But this issue still needs to be resolved by themselves.
"The array is a bit complicated, it may take at least seven days; we might have to stay here for a few more days, after all, it’s much safer here." Yun Feng spoke.
This place is the center of Hanwu Forest; messages won’t be easily leaked, nor would they worry about outside interference. After all, the Ghost King is now somewhat on their side, with him being a top expert, everything won’t be a problem.
Han Jing said calmly: "Then you guys start; we’ll wait here and watch the surroundings."
After speaking, without looking at Yun Feng and Su Yu, she turned and walked away; dealing with those ghost spirits earlier had consumed quite a bit of her energy. She’s tired and wants to rest for a while.
Su Yu’s gaze fell on her slender back; his heart ached a little.
She was, after all, still angry.
Lan Ling glanced at Han Jing, who had already walked away, and scooted beside Su Yu to whisper: "Boss, don’t worry, the mirror isn’t really angry about you deceiving her; she’s mad that you don’t trust her. You don’t know, these few years, she’s been really trying hard. When you’re healed, you have to coax her properly."
