Chapter 799: Xia Ji’s True Goal (Part 2)
So she transferred all her hatred onto Xia Qingcheng.
For someone as smart as Xia Ji, she wouldn’t fail to understand this reasoning. She was merely making excuses for her mistakes, pushing all the blame onto Xia Qingcheng just to make herself feel a bit better.
But this definitely wasn’t what she truly wanted.
Then, what is it that she wants?
Han Jing couldn’t figure it out, but if she were to put herself in Xia Ji’s shoes, she was sure that Xia Ji had other motives.
After listening to Han Jing’s question, Xia Qingcheng remained silent for a while before getting up and leaving.
Han Jing stared dumbfounded at Xia Qingcheng’s calm and collected departing figure, utterly confused, and poked Su Yu with her finger: "I bet he’s gone to check the records."
Su Yu...
Han Jing’s head thudded against Su Yu’s shoulder: "I’m really drunk. No wonder your father was so muddle-headed to save that traitor Xia Ji!"
Then she quickly covered her mouth: "I was wrong,..."
Although Xia Ji really is nothing, if Xia Qingcheng didn’t save Xia Ji, then there wouldn’t be Su Yu either.
So even though Han Jing disliked Xia Ji intensely, she still felt she should be careful with her words, to avoid accidentally implicating their Su Yu.
Su Yu pinched her cheek: "We are not part of their family."
Han Jing nodded awkwardly: "Right, right, that old man even wants you to stay and be the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan. Not possible, absolutely impossible! How could we be trapped in this boring place till we die!"
They waited till noon, and Xia Qingcheng still hadn’t returned.
During lunch, Han Jing quietly instructed Lianwu that if they encountered a dire situation, he should take Xiao Xue and leave first, no matter what, Xiao Xue’s life must be preserved. She also told Lan Ling to act according to circumstances, roughly telling him that Xia Ji might have some new tricks up her sleeve. If anything unexpected happened, they should leave, and they would also find a way to get out. No matter what happens, staying alive is important.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Xia Qingcheng came again to find Han Jing and Su Yu.
Han Jing looked at the Jade Scroll in his hand, twitched her mouth, and curiously asked: "Senior, did you find any clues?"
Xia Qingcheng’s expression was somewhat grave. Then he placed the Jade Scroll on the table and flicked it lightly. The contents of the Jade Scroll were projected out, revealing a thorough description of the Shengxue Pearl.
It was clearly recorded that the Shengxue Pearl is a sacred object condensed from the vital blood of 108 Divine Level experts of the Xia Clan, containing remarkably powerful Divine Power. If it is refined, there is the potential to reshape blood and flesh and break through to Divine Level. However, this is extremely dangerous and requires using the heart blood of 108 virgins as a catalyst to achieve a perfect state of yin-yang harmony, enabling its refinement.
Due to the excessively bloody and cruel nature of this matter, to prevent those with ulterior motives from using the Shengxue Pearl’s effect to bring disaster to the Xia Clan, this was kept sealed in this Jade Scroll. Not even the successive Clan Leaders knew about it.
It was after hearing Han Jing’s questions that Xia Qingcheng suddenly thought of going back to look at the records of the Shengxue Pearl. After pondering for a long time, he discovered a hidden line of notes and, after much effort, found this sealed Jade Scroll. Otherwise, he truly wouldn’t have known the Shengxue Pearl had such a function.
