1373 Island

It was the same this time. When Wang Yunzhong heard Xu Qianqian’s words, he immediately sighed and said, “Can you stop being pretentious?”

In the end, he still had feelings for Xu Qianqian and had said nothing harsh to her. He also knew that a pregnant woman’s mood would fluctuate after giving birth, so he tried his best to coax her.

However, facing the question of his parents, Wang Yunzhong couldn’t hide because Xu Qianqian mentioned it almost every day.

If Xu Qianqian had given birth to a boy, things might not have turned out like this.

“I’m pretentious?” When Xu Qianqian heard Wang Yunzhong say that she was pretentious again, she immediately laughed in anger. “Wang Yunzhong, is this called pretentious? Tell me, which word didn’t you promise before?”

“But what about now? Have you done what you said? Besides, is this my problem? I gave birth to a daughter, but she’s still your daughter. Look at your mother’s attitude when she sees Yuanyuan and your brother’s child!”

Xu Qianqian was agitated. Seeing this, Wang Yunzhong finally admitted defeat and said, “I know I’ve let you suffer, but Dad and Mom’s matter can’t be resolved with just a few words. You’ve just given birth not long ago. I can’t possibly ask them to buy a house and move out immediately, right?”

Xu Qianqian saw that Wang Yunzhong was trying to smooth things over again. He always said the same thing.

She also knew that it was difficult for Wang Yunzhong to do it, and he was sandwiched in the middle. However, if she could bear it, she would bear it. The problem was that she couldn’t bear it anymore!

In the end, Xu Qianqian said coldly, “Anyway, if your parents don’t move away, I’ll bring Yuanyuan back to my maternal family.”

Without waiting for Wang Yunzhong to react, Xu Qianqian lay on the bed and casually raised the blanket to cover herself!

Seeing this, Wang Yunzhong opened his mouth but swallowed his words.

…

East Asia, on an unknown island in the Sumen Islands.

A courtyard was built in the highest place on the island. Two months ago, Jian Ai moved here with the High Priest from another island. This was already the fourth place she had lived in a year.

“Sister Xiao Ai!”

Jian Ai was busy with something in the room when a cheerful child’s voice came from outside.

The door was not closed. Jian Ai looked up and saw Xiao Liuli running in with braids.

Jian Ai’s expression softened. Before she could say anything, Liuli ran up to her and stood there. Then, she opened her palm and looked up. “Here, I’m done. See if you can use it!”

Jian Ai looked down and saw an exquisite metal object in Liuli’s palm. It was very exquisite and was only a few millimeters big. If it accidentally fell to the ground, she probably could not find it!

“So soon?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but be delighted when she saw the object. She picked it up with her fingers and couldn’t help but praise the girl. “Xiao Liuli is amazing. You can melt such a small object?”

Xiao Liuli raised her eyebrows smugly. “Of course. What you asked me to do before was too technical. This little thing is indeed a little difficult, but it’s not difficult for me. It just took some time. You should try it!”

Jian Ai gently patted Xiao Liuli’s head and opened the small wooden box at the side. She took out a ring.

That ring was an ordinary platinum diamond ring. The style was relatively simple, and it was the kind young people liked to wear.

However, there was an empty spot on the ring. It looked like a defective product, but Jian Ai had deliberately asked Xiao Liuli to make it like this.

Jian Ai embedded the exquisite small object in her hand into the empty spot on her ring. It was just right!

Jian Ai’s eyes lit up, and she smiled at Xiao Liuli.

The small object could be gently moved with one’s hand. It would spin in the ring, and the inside was hollow. It could hide poison. When the object spun at forty-five degrees, the poison in it would spray out, and by the same logic, it would spin back.

This was the book Yang Jie gave Jian Ai at the martial arts school. It was called ‘Sect’s Hidden Weapons’!

There were many methods to make hidden weapons, but Jian Ai didn’t have time to study them, nor did she know how to forge metal.

However, ever since she lived in seclusion with the High Priest, Jian Ai knew that the girl beside the High Priest knew alchemy and was extremely skilled.

Jian Ai took out the ‘Sect’s Hidden Weapons’ book and studied it with Xiao Liuli. In a year, the two of them had successfully made seven hidden weapons.

Moreover, the hidden weapons Jian Ai chose were all extremely small. Even if she wore them, no one would discover them. Although she did not know if she could use them in the future, there was plenty of time. This could be considered to kill time.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind her.

Jian Ai and Xiao Liuli turned around and saw Si Yue standing at the door expressionlessly.

“Brother Han!” Xiao Liuli called out sweetly.

Si Yuehan’s gaze landed on Jian Ai as he said softly, “The High Priest is back!”

“So soon?” Jian Ai was stunned. “Didn’t he just leave last night?”

Jian Ai walked towards the living room.

“Uncle Ji!”

When she reached the living room, Jian Ai saw Ji Yansong drinking tea. She couldn’t help but go forward. “Aren’t you going to…”

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Yansong raised his hand to interrupt her. Ji Yansong put down the tea set and slowly said, “I went to Duoduo’s place. Ye Liushang left a message saying that he would rush over to see the Sect Master soon, so I didn’t continue to look!”

“He sent news to Duoduo?” Jian Ai was stunned.

Duoduo was a dwarf. He was also someone Ji Yansong had recruited for his own use all these years. He was mainly in charge of sending news to Ji Yansong. Usually, Ji Yansong would stay on the island for a long time, and Duoduo would follow him and stay in the cities or towns around Ji Yansong’s seclusion.

Although Duoduo was a dwarf, Ji Yansong deeply trusted him. Over the years, he had spread the information network around the world and was a capable person.

He was like a transfer station that gathered information from the outside world before passing it to the reclusive Ji Yansong.

Ji Yansong immediately nodded gently. “I didn’t hear from him before. I thought something had happened. It seems that I was overthinking.”

After all, he was Ye Liushang. Unless he committed suicide, what could happen?

Jian Ai’s control of the power of blood had stabilized a lot with Ji Yansong’s help, but she had encountered a bottleneck in the past two months. Jian Ai still could not control her advanced move.

Therefore, Ji Yansong thought of Ye Liushang, who had phoenix blood. He thought that since they were both blood powers, he might help.

A few days ago, Ji Yansong asked Duoduo to inform Ye Liushang to come to the island to help the Sect Master. However, Ye Liushang didn’t come after a long time. Ji Yansong was worried, so he left the island last night to look for Ye Liushang.

That was why this situation had happened. Ye Liushang had already replied to Duoduo and told him he would go to the island to see the Sect Master soon!
