Chapter 28: The First Strike of the Lotus Ring

  "How do you plan on finding it? Just relying on flipping through these ancient books?"

  Ao Yuan had actually more or less expected that Xia Yunfei would do this, and secretly planned to mobilize his spiritual power to search for these three things.

  After all, he knew in his heart that being sealed for so many years, although he had already become the former Qinglong God Lord, still had an impact, and it was not difficult to find these three things.

  Ke Xiaoyan's words broke his inner determination and made him involuntarily look up to this person.

  The beautiful girl with expressive eyebrows and eyes seemed to continue talking nonchalantly: "I sent messages to Blue Snowflake and a few others I'm familiar with last night, asking them to keep an eye on these things for me. Whether it's information or objects, no matter how expensive, I want to get everything back first and see what the situation is before deciding what to do."

  "Do you believe them?" After finishing half a bowl of cold tea, Ao Yuan asked her with a calm expression, despite feeling surprised in his heart.

  Xia Yifei knew that Ao Yuan asked this because Lan Ruoxue and the four major families had a relationship, and also because of the incident with Fang Chenhao, he was worried about her.

  After all, this person - Xiaoyan Fei has already treated him as an ordinary person - said with his own mouth that he is free and unrestrained in this world.

  In fact, it has been a long time since anyone cared about Xiaoyanfei like this.

  Even if she doesn't need these concerns now and can live well, these concerns may make her fragile and unable to stand alone.

  She inexplicably felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but explain further: "Lan Ruoxue and the others are all younger than me in our family, and they're not like me, they're all half-innocent types. Most of them can't get involved in this matter. And the people I've been dealing with..."

  Xia Yanfei paused for a moment before continuing: "Let's put aside the fact that I've had some connections over the years, and not mention this point. At this age, even our four families have gradually whitewashed... Ah, it's still like when Old Master Xia and his family were in power, with money, what can't be done privately?"

  Ao Yuan nodded and suddenly asked her as if he had just remembered something: "That day you invited a knife, what kind of knife was it?"

  Xia Yanfei was taken aback, then a smile with inexplicable emotions hung on the corner of his mouth: "That... is proof that Xia's exit and can stand alone."

  Looking at Ao Yuan's furrowed brow and puzzled expression, Xia Yifei continued to speak in a soft and strange tone: "It is said that the Xia family was originally a knife-casting family, and their most proud craftsmanship was also casting knives, not making fake ones. But after so many years have passed, plus the fact that this skill was only passed down to males and not females, now only the old master of the Xia family knows it."

  "And plus this lotus patterned ring-headed knife in my hand, there are only seven knives held by the living."

  Ao Yuan looked at the girl sitting across from him, and when she smiled and said those words, her eyes were incredibly bright. When she looked over, it was somewhat startling and intimidating.

  He suddenly felt very lucky for the first time in such a long period of time.

  Life is fleeting, the red dust is thousands of feet deep. So many people are busy living, busy dying, busy remembering, and busy forgetting, but how many people have such beautiful eyes, and how many such people can he meet?

  Then Ao Yuan also laughed, with a completely unaware satisfaction.
