Chapter 801: Xia Ji’s True Goal (Part 4)
Han Jing looked at the two of them, then took a few steps back and warily said, "Hey, you two aren’t planning to kill me in a secluded place, are you?"
Han Qingjue...
Ling Xiang...
Can you stop overthinking? Who would come all the way out here to kill you!
"We just overheard a conversation between Xia Ji and Ling Yue. Although I suspect she might have intentionally let us overhear, I still think it’s necessary to tell you all. Others might not believe what I say, but whether you do or not doesn’t matter," Han Qingjue said coldly.
Han Jing twitched her lips, "Then why are you looking for me?"
Han Qingjue: "If you don’t want to listen, forget it."
Ling Xiang added from the side, "We do have something very important to tell you all. It’s just a bit better saying it to you alone."
Since neither Han Qingjue nor Ling Xiang knew that the Soul Stabilizing Needle on Su Yu had been removed, they thought Su Yu was still suffering from amnesia, so it would be useless to tell him anything. And Lan Ling would not listen to them at all, so they decided to tell Han Jing.
They just didn’t expect to run into Han Jing as soon as they stepped out.
Han Jing frowned slightly, recalling why she came to see Han Qingjue, and asked hesitantly, "Did you overhear Xia Ji stealing the Shengxue Pearl, planning to use it to break through to the Divine Level?"
Han Qingjue and Ling Xiang looked at Han Jing in surprise and almost said in unison, "How do you know?"
They had indeed overheard the conversation between Xia Ji and Ling Yue.
This is what happened: as soon as they returned to the Holy Maiden Palace, Xia Ji went back to her room, and Ling Yue followed her inside.
At that moment, Ling Xiang and Han Qingjue both thought that Xia Ji, having just been to the so-called Xia Clan’s forbidden area, must have had some business. So they both independently decided to eavesdrop and overheard the conversation between Ling Yue and Xia Ji.
Ling Yue asked Xia Ji what exactly was going on and why she claimed to be the Clan Leader’s Wife of the Xia Clan and whether she had married Xia Qingcheng.
Xia Ji did not hide anything from Ling Yue, admitting she was not married to Xia Qingcheng. It was just a mistaken night spent together long ago, so Xia Qingcheng couldn’t marry anyone else. Therefore, regardless of whether the elders of the Xia Clan acknowledged it, she was the only Clan Leader’s Wife.
Ling Yue then persuaded Xia Ji to return to the Lingyou Hall with her. Xia Ji did not oppose it, saying she would return to Lingyou Hall after handling one matter.
That matter was obtaining the sacred item of the Xia Clan, the Shengxue Pearl. Once she refines it, she can break through to the Divine Level, fulfilling her lifelong wish. Afterward, they would leave this place together, and she asked Ling Yue to wait for a while.
Ling Yue never imagined such a thing would exist, but he believed Xia Ji and said that no matter what she wanted to do, as long as she went back with him in the end, it would be fine.
They didn’t listen further to whatever was discussed later by Han Qingjue and Ling Xiang.
However, such matters were indeed significant.
After all, if Xia Ji truly used the Shengxue Pearl to break through to the Divine Level, the target of her actions would be obvious.
Therefore, the two decided to head to the Changhuan Palace to tell Han Jing and the others about it, allowing them to mentally prepare.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Han Jing as soon as they left.
Han Qingjue explained what they had overheard to Han Jing: "This is what we heard. How did you know? Could it be that the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan already knew about this?"
