Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 266 Qinling Sacred Tree (25)

After walking far enough, everyone stopped and began to rest.

After a long while, Fatty Wang finally came to his senses and suddenly remembered that he had not taken away the Night Pearl he had been thinking about day and night. Then he could be heard lamenting in grief: "Ah~ My Night Pearl!"

Wu Xie put Aning on the ground and said to Fatty Wang helplessly, "Fatty, you're almost there."

After taking a short breath and drinking a few sips of water to quench his thirst, Wu Xie began to carefully look around and said to himself in confusion: "Where are we? It feels like we are no longer in China."

At this time, Ji Xiao, who had been silent all this time, calmly answered: "Because we are now on a small island in the high seas that has not yet been named."

Wu Xie asked innocently, "How did you know that?"

Fatty Wang interrupted and said, "Are you stupid? I'm a professional. If I can't even figure this out, it would be embarrassing!"

"Oh, that's right. But how are we going to get back?" Wu Xie turned to look at Fatty Wang, who teased him with a smile: "Guess what? Or you can just swim back by yourself."

"I don't want to swim back! Who knows how far it is!" Wu Xie rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Ji Xiaoze leaned on Zhang Qiling's arms like a little bird, watching them bickering, and chuckled, "Don't you two feel hungry?"

"I'm hungry..." As soon as Wu Xie finished speaking, his stomach started to growl in response, and the scene became a little awkward.

"Then why are you in such a hurry? There is nothing urgent for you to deal with. Besides, we have already come out. It will only take a few minutes to go back. It's just a matter of time."

At this time, Hei Xia Zi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly spoke up, "That is to say, the young couple has a large group of people at home waiting for them to support them, and they are not in a hurry. Why should you, a lonely person, be in a hurry?"

“Uh…” (⊙o⊙) “Wu Xie was choked and speechless, with a dazed look on his face.

"Since you are hungry, you should go find something to eat right now." Ji Xiao nibbled the apple leisurely, his eyes calm as water, as if this sentence was just a normal statement of fact. Then he finished the apple in his hand in two bites and put away the core.

But then, she suddenly sat up from Zhang Qiling's arms, staring at Wu Xie with suspicion, as if she had seen something unbelievable, and then continued to fall into Zhang Qiling's arms and let him hold her, and then she said: "No way... You don't even know how to survive in the wild? Could it be that your family treats you like a spoiled young lady? But it's no wonder that you are so simple and innocent, even naive.

"Your uncle just said a few words, and you believed them without a doubt. You don't really think that everything recorded in his notes is true and reliable, do you?"

Hearing this, Wu Xie could no longer sit still. He stood up and stared at Ji Xiao with a look of displeasure on his face. He retorted, "Hey, you're going too far! Why are you attacking me for no reason? Besides, my Third Uncle is my relative. How could he possibly harm me? Besides, why can't what he wrote in his notebook be true?"

Facing Wu Xie's questioning, Ji Xiao seemed unconcerned and responded lightly: "Did I say anything wrong? As the future successor of the Wu family, you are so naive and have no judgment or opinion of your own. You easily let others take advantage of your curiosity and be manipulated like a puppet. Do you still think this is something to be proud of?"

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, then took a few sips of water from Zhang Qiling's hand, and then continued, "Besides, history is written by the victors, not to mention your uncle's notebook. He can't write whatever he wants in it."

Wu Xie was dumbfounded by Ji Xiao's words. He was unable to refute for a moment and could only point his finger at Ji Xiao. However, when his eyes fell on himself, he dropped his hand silently like a deflated ball and muttered stumblingly: "You...you..."

At this moment, Fatty Wang on the side couldn't stand it any longer, and strode to Wu Xie's side, grabbed his arm, and said to him, "Little brother, in my opinion, she is right! Although your Third Uncle is related to you by blood, it doesn't mean that he won't deceive you! And from the time when Jie Lianhuan disappeared strangely, this whole thing is probably full of mysteries, maybe it's a well-designed scam! So let's ignore these trivial matters for now, and quickly find a way to fill our stomachs with food!"

Before he finished speaking, Fatty Wang dragged Wu Xie towards the woods without saying a word, ready to find some food to fill their stomachs.

After the two men walked away, Hei Xia Zi finally spoke slowly, "Since you're awake, don't waste time and quickly follow them to find something to eat! Are you not dead in the tomb? Do you want to starve to death on this deserted island?"

Hearing this, Aning's heart tightened, and she knew that her pretense of sleeping had been discovered. She was also quick and decisive, opening her eyes without hesitation and quickly getting up from the ground.

However, when her eyes met Zhang Qiling's, she couldn't help but reveal an expression that seemed both surprised and not too surprised, and she called out softly: "Professor Zhang Hao?"

Then, Aning turned his gaze to Hei Xia Zi and asked curiously, "When did you find out that I woke up?"

Hei Xia Zi moved his body slightly, but did not speak again, and Ji Xiao and Zhang Qiling beside him also ignored her. In this regard, An Ning did not dwell on it too much.

Just as Aning was about to turn around and leave, Ji Xiao finally broke the silence and said, "When you go back, please tell your boss Jude Kao that he will never get what he desires."

When Aning heard this, he stopped and listened silently. Then he put on his backpack and walked resolutely in a specific direction.

After Aning walked further and further away until she disappeared, Yan Jing slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the couple in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure that he can't get it?"

Ji Xiao glanced at him in astonishment and responded: "Don't you know what happened a few years ago?"

"Of course I know. It's just the country hunting down criminals! What does that have to do with this matter?"

Ji Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and sneered, "Because the Wang family has been completely destroyed, the secrets that those people dreamed of and wanted to know - the things that Qi Ling has been guarding all along, have now been trapped by me, and it will only take a few more years to completely destroy them.

Moreover, back then, that guy Qiu Dekao tried to make a fortune from the war, but he never expected that under Zhang Qishan's planning, he got nothing, and he was also severely damaged and suffered heavy losses.

From then on, Qiu Dekao hated Zhang Qishan to the core, racking his brains to seize the token from Zhang Qishan, to find out the secrets of the Zhang family, and even to desire the art of immortality.

It's a pity that his efforts were in vain. In addition, I have sealed off the Zhang Family's ancient building with a formation. If I or Qi Ling were not present, no one would be able to step into it.

Besides, what's so special about the resting place of other people's ancestors? If you really want to see the dead, you can go directly to the funeral home, where there are plenty of ready-made ones."
