    Xia Muqing flipped her body and the dagger stabbed the bed.


    The men in ck didn’t expect her to still be conscious. They nced at each other before they attacked her simultaneously.


    Before Xia Muqing could react, the ck eagle and Gungun rushed forward when they heard themotion. The men in ck scrambled to deal with the eagle. After exchanging blows, the men who were obviously no match for the eagle, retreated swiftly.


    “All right, stop chasing them.” Xia Muqing stopped the ck eagle and Gungun, who still wanted to give chase.


    The ck eagle and Gungun acted obediently. Gungun chattered angrily, “What are all of you? How dare you hurt my master?”


    The ck eagle nodded in agreement.


    Xia Muqing couldn’t stop pondering. She frowned and went to the dressing table. The men in ck had made a beeline towards it the moment they entered. What did they want?


    With a thought, she took out the jade pendant. The jade pendant was the closest thing to a piece of jewelry. Were they here for this?


    Could they be Ye Qingxuan’s men?


    The next second, she dismissed that thought. If it were him, he wouldn’t have given this jade to her.


    There was still a lingering fragrance in the air. It was the white smoke left behind by those men in ck. This smell was somewhat familiar.


    Where had she smelled it before?


    Just as she was about to recall, the ck eagle sneezed and she lost her train of thought.


    She turned around and looked at the ck eagle speechlessly. The ck eagle covered its face with its wings in embarrassment, revealing only a pair of empty eyes that stared in her direction.


    Xia Muqing sighed, took out a pill, and threw it into its mouth. She said, “It’s getting coldtely, so don’t go into the water to y.”


    The ck eagle nodded obediently.


    Without any further thoughts, Xia Muqing made the ck eagle and Gungun leave. She went to the courtyard alone and rubbed the jade pendant in her palm. There was something strange about this jade pendant and the token.


    Ye Qingxuan, Jiang Yifan, You Lanchen, the Holy Lady, and the men in ck tonight shed across her mind. She felt that things were getting moreplicated.


    After the men in ck left the Xia residence, they entered an inn. In the room, a man had his back facing these men. After hearing them report that they didn’t obtain anything, the man chuckled softly. It was clearly a very gentleugh, but these men in ck instantly stiffened and fell straight to the ground without a sound.


    The man put down the teacup in his hand and sighed. “Trash doesn’t deserve to live.”


    He slowly turned around. If Xia Muqing were around, she would be able to recognize that this was the man she had seen in the Shaman Tribe.


    …


    The next day, a deafening sound was heard. Xia Muqing rushed to the source of the sound. It was where Jiang Yifan lived.


    When she arrived, she saw Jiang Yifan carrying the little phoenix out of the room. The room behind him had already been blown to smithereens.


    “Are you demolishing the ce?” Xia Muqing asked speechlessly.


    Jiang Yifan’s ash-covered face reddened in embarrassment. “Sorry, Sister. I just wanted to refine some explosives. I didn’t expect them to be so powerful.”


    Xia Muqing thought that he looked a little funny. She arranged another room for him and didn’t take it to heart.


    The others in the Xia residence also heard themotion. Xia Jingtian sent a servant to check on the situation. Ever since Xia Muqing had treated him coldly the previous time, his enthusiasm towards her had diminished.


    If not for the fact that he still remembered that she would be marrying King Zhennan, he would have chased her out long ago.


    Xia Muqing had been rather free recently and she had nothing to do at home. So she yed with Gungun and the others. On the other hand, Jiang Yifan went out early every day and returnedte at night. She hadn’t seen him in a few days.


    She happened to see Jiang Yifan rushing back to the Xia residence that morning. Before she could greet him, he went out again.


    Xia Muqing was a little curious and followed him when he went out.


    Jiang Yifan held a bag in his hand as he walked along the streets with a cold expression. This was the first time Xia Muqing saw him so solemn. She couldn’t help but worry if he was in trouble.


    Jiang Yifan entered an inn. Xia Muqing was about to follow him when You Lanchen suddenly appeared and blocked her way. She frowned and said, “Move. I don’t have time to be entangled with you.”


    There was a sh in You Lanchen’s eyes as he said, “I came to look for you today because I have something for you. It was left behind by your mother. Are you sure you don’t want it?”


    Xia Muqing stopped in her tracks. She wasn’t the real Xia Muqing and she wasn’t interested in her mother either. But… she was interested in the Holy Lady of the Jin Country. Perhaps it could solve the recent mystery.


    Seeing that she had taken the bait, You Lanchen smiled and nced at a window in the inn. He thought to himself, ‘I’ve helped someone a lot.. I hope he won’t disappoint me.’
