Chapter 809: Chapter 809: Executing the Plan (1)
"Unfortunately, Xia Ji doesn’t think that way. What she wants is her breakthrough to the Divine Level, and for this, she will destroy anything without hesitation. She told me all this, including telling us to pass a message to Han Jing and the others, just to show everyone that no one can stop what she wants to do. Also... there’s no way to deal with her. Because, as long as she shatters the Shengxue Pearl, all of us will perish together." Han Qingjue looked at Ling Xiang: "So, she made me deliver the message."
Ling Xiang was a bit puzzled. If Xia Ji only wanted her to deliver a message, why did she also mention that Xiaoxue is her target?
"You don’t have to believe me. I didn’t expect anyone to trust me. If I could, I wouldn’t want to be this messenger." But she had already reached this point, and everything could only follow Xia Ji’s plan. She couldn’t resist even a single step.
Ling Xiang truly didn’t know whether he should trust Han Qingjue. He always felt something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Han Qingjue shook her head: "I think if we’re one step too late, she might have already taken action. Haven’t you realized yet? Xia Ji is toying with all of us, making us follow her game rules, letting her manipulate us at will!"
Ling Xiang hesitated a bit, but regardless of whether Han Qingjue was trustworthy, this matter was significant.
After all, although Xiaoxue was young, she was the daughter of Han Jing and Su Yu. Her blood indeed met Xia Ji’s requirements, and Han Qingjue wasn’t talking nonsense.
He didn’t have the time to think too much. From now on, he needed to figure out a way to keep an eye on Xia Ji.
Ling Xiang turned and left, and Han Qingjue followed him back. However, just as Han Qingjue had said, by the time Ling Xiang returned to the courtyard, Xia Ji was already gone.
He searched the entire Holy Maiden Palace but didn’t see any trace of Xia Ji, not even Ling Yue was to be found.
Ling Xiang was momentarily overwhelmed. No, he had to go check on Xiaoxue.
Without much thought, Ling Xiang left the Holy Maiden Palace directly and headed towards Changhuan Palace. At this time, the entire Changhuan Palace, including all of Mengluo City, was in chaos, because Guard Captain Chang Qingke was leading the guards to gather all the unmarried women, including little girls, preparing to take them to Changhuan Palace for protection.
As Ling Xiang was nearing Changhuan Palace, he saw Lianwu coming out with Xiaoxue.
Coincidentally, Xiaoxue also saw Ling Xiang and waved at him from a distance: "Brother Xue Xi, here, here!"
Xiaoxue shouted joyfully, and Lianwu deliberately turned around, using his tall body to block Xiaoxue’s view.
Xiaoxue, dissatisfied, nudged her head over his shoulder, saying as she nudged: "Don’t block me, I saw Brother Xue Xi!"
Lianwu: "Just how many older brothers do you have!"
Xiaoxue: "I’ve known Brother Xue Xi much longer than I’ve known you. I haven’t seen Brother Xue Xi for a long time. Hurry, hurry, let’s go play with Brother Xue Xi, or if it gets late and my mother catches me sneaking out again, she’ll surely scold me!"
"Your mother said you should go back for dinner!" Lianwu’s face showed slight annoyance. What’s so interesting about that human? Is he more handsome than me? Even if they’ve known each other longer, so what!
Xiaoxue argued discontentedly: "It’s still early, see, the sun hasn’t even set yet!"
At this moment, Ling Xiang and Han Qingjue had already walked over.
