The young man shook his head and acted as if he didn’t understand. “You don’t know. One should go hungry and be full with the next meal. That’s the real martial world.”

He sighed.

Xia Muqing ignored him and said, “You should tell me why you’re looking for me now.”

She had just understood that this young man had deliberately bumped into her and brought her here. He had only one intention and he had something to tell her.

A hint of admiration flashed across the young man’s eyes. “I came to tell you that it’s better not to reveal this jade pendant to others easily.”

Xia Muqing frowned and asked, “Do you know the origin of this jade pendant?”

The young man arched his eyebrows in surprise. “Don’t you know?”

Xia Muqing shook her head and asked, “What is that strange token that you sold to me?”

The young man said in surprise, “You gathered all these objects without knowing anything. As expected of the Holy Lady’s child.”

Holy Lady?

Xia Muqing pondered. Was this Holy Lady her mother?

The young man didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Let me introduce myself. I am You Lanchen, the high priest of the Jin Country. You’re the daughter of the Holy Lady. Twenty years ago, the Holy Lady left Jin Country and married a man and she gave birth to you.”

Xia Muqing tried her best to digest this information and asked, “The Jin Country?”

You Lanchen nodded and replied, “That’s right. You’re a citizen of Jin Country. The pattern you saw on the token was the inheritance totem of the Jin Country. The token is your mother’s identity token. The Holy Lady is passed down from generation to generation. You’re the new Holy Lady of the Jin Country.”

Xia Muqing frowned and said, “I’m not interested in being the Holy Lady of the Jin Country.”

You Lanchen didn’t change his expression. He even smiled and said, “You will accept it.”

He sounded certain.

Xia Muqing asked again, “Then what does this jade pendant have to do with the token?”

You Lanchen’s expression became odd. “This is the symbol of the Holy Lady’s marriage partner.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “This jade pendant was supposed to belong to the royal family of the Jin Country. However, when the Holy Lady left, she took this jade pendant with her. Since then, this jade pendant has disappeared. I only realized that this jade pendant was in your possession after I saw it.”

Xia Muqing cleared her throat but there were still many doubts. If the jade belonged to the Jin Country and was taken away by her mother, how did it end up in Ye Qingxuan’s hands?

After knowing the truth, Xia Muqing took the jade pendant from You Lanchen and was about to leave.

You Lanchen didn’t stop her. “I welcome you to make a trip to Jin Country. Your mother’s belongings are there.”

Xia Muqing didn’t reply and walked out of the inn and proceeded to Shining Fortune Restaurant.

Upstairs in Shining Fortune Restaurant, Xia Chuxing looked out of the window impatiently, but she wasn’t worried if Xia Muqing didn’t turn up.

Xia Muqing went to the second floor and was led by a waiter to Xia Chuxing’s room.

She walked in and saw Xia Chuxing fiddling with a teacup in her hand. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The reckless and brainless Xia Chuxing from the past had changed drastically. The arrogance and slyness in her eyes that could be easily deciphered with a glance had disappeared. What replaced them were profoundness and composure.

Xia Muqing smiled and said, “You’ve really changed so much.”

Xia Chuxing didn’t look at her with hatred anymore. Instead, she smiled calmly and said, “It’s all thanks to all of you.”

Xia Muqing was more curious about how she had survived in Prince Yu’s residence. After all, the reason why a person could change so drastically in such a short period of time was rather intriguing.

Xia Muqing asked bluntly, “Why did you look for me this time?”

Xia Chuxing put down the teacup in her hand and said, “I want to work with you.”
