Just then, the silent Xia Qingcheng spoke up: "She doesn’t have designs on Xiao Xue, rather, her focus is solely on Xiao Xue."
Xia Qingcheng’s statement was certain, and everyone was shocked.
"Senior, what do you mean by that?" Han Jing asked incredulously.
Xia Qingcheng glanced at Xiao Xue; this kind of matter seemed unsuitable for a child to hear.
Han Jing spoke up: "Senior, please speak bluntly. There’s no need to hold back."
If it truly concerned Xiao Xue, Han Jing felt there was nothing she couldn’t hear. Although Xiao Xue was a child who might not think of or understand many things, knowing the truth would at least allow her to think in her own way.
There was no need to hide everything from her. This was also why, despite knowing the danger, Han Jing insisted on bringing Xiao Xue along. There are always some things she needed to grasp on her own.
Xia Qingcheng looked at Su Yu, and Su Yu nodded.
Xia Qingcheng then had to say: "Xiao Xue’s bloodline integrates both the Xia Clan and the Feng Clan bloodlines. Though perfectly inheriting a bloodline is extremely difficult, the power of the bloodline is not to be underestimated. This is why the Xia Clan has always strived to maintain the purity of their bloodline. Xiao Xue, her bloodline far surpasses a simple single inheritance; it can be said that, to our knowledge, it is the most perfect bloodline to date. With such potential for cultivation, the possibility of breaking through to Divine Level is much greater than anyone else’s, practically effortless. The Shengxue Pearl is fused with the blood essence of 108 divine ancestors, and requires the blood of an equivalent number of women to achieve the yin-yang balance, under the assumption that those women are ordinary. If someone’s bloodline power alone far exceeds the combined total of many people, then one person is enough."
"So, if I haven’t guessed wrong, from the start she has been deliberately misleading us, making us think she would go on a killing spree in the city. But in reality, she only intended to seize the chaos to make a move against Xiao Xue." According to their logic, they would never have expected Xia Ji’s real target to be a five-year-old child, so they fell right into Xia Ji’s trap from the beginning.
"So now... No wonder, no wonder Han Qingjue urged us to leave quickly. Could it be," Han Jing’s eyes widened: "She must have been instructed by Xia Ji to make a move on Xiao Xue, but she didn’t actually harm her, so, perhaps she went alone to meet Xia Ji?"
Han Jing was truly astonished.
She had originally thought that Han Qingjue’s message for Xiao Xue to convey—about being unable to repay what they owe and to hate all she wanted—was just her being melodramatic, but she never expected this...
Han Jing couldn’t quite describe her feelings, but the fact that Han Qingjue had the chance to harm Xiao Xue but chose not to, and instead went to confront Xia Ji alone, truly surprised her.
Given Han Qingjue’s nature, she would have wished for nothing more than their swift demise, yet she let such a prime opportunity slip.
And her departure surely involved a determination to face death.
Han Jing bit her lip, but after just a few seconds, she made her decision and looked up at Xia Qingcheng: "Senior, do you know where Xia Ji might choose to refine the Shengxue Pearl?"
