Chapter 403: Chapter 400: The Jade Pendant and the Temple

The three of them instinctively moved ten meters away from Lou Hu, who looked at their disdainful faces with some grievance and sighed at how hard it was to be a good person.

They arrived at an open space where Peng Qi, holding a piece of jade pendant in each hand, stood seriously and slowly merged them together.

The wish he had held for so many years was finally coming true at this moment!

As soon as the two jade pendants merged, anomalies appeared. A blinding light emerged from where the pendants joined, becoming increasingly intense; even someone as strong as Xiao Tian had to shield his eyes with his hand.

The light slowly faded after half a minute, after which the jade pendants rose into the air from Peng Qi’s hand, spinning there.

As the jade pendants started to spin, a violent whirlwind descended, blowing in the opposite direction of their rotation; an overwhelming suction force combined with the terrifying wind made the group spin uncontrollably towards the jade pendants.

Xiao Tian tried to push hard with his feet but was still drawn in, leaving ten-centimeter-deep marks in his wake.

Even Xiao Tian couldn’t resist, so for Lou Long and Lou Hu, the situation was only worse. Xiao Tian had to step forward to share their burden.

The sudden change startled Xiao Tian greatly. He regretted choosing such an open space, feeling anxious and helpless at the moment; even a tree to grab onto would have been better!

Though even trees might not withstand it...

The situation was dire for the three on the outside, yet Peng Qi at the center remained unharmed.

But his eyes were vacant, as if he’d lost his soul, muttering repeatedly, ”How could this be? How could this be?”

”Why? Why ahhhhh!”

Peng Qi’s sudden heart-wrenching cry left the three unaware of the truth at a loss, but now wasn’t the time to delve into those details.

The urgent task was figuring out how not to be drawn in!

”Take care, Lou Long and Lou Hu!” Peng Qi turned around, his face full of tears, and after leaving these words, resolutely moved forward.

Lou Long and Lou Hu shouted loudly to stop Peng Qi’s crazy actions, but it was too late.

As soon as Peng Qi took that step, everything disappeared, completing the switch in the blink of an eye.

One second was a howling, uncontrollable wind; the next, it was calm and peaceful.

Xiao Tian rushed to where Peng Qi disappeared but found nothing. Not only had Peng Qi vanished, but even the Double Fish Jade Pendant was nowhere to be found.

Lou Long and Lou Hu arrived as well, their expressions uncertain if they were sad or disappointed, but they thanked Xiao Tian for his righteous assistance earlier.

Although they might have preferred to disappear with Peng Qi, his decisiveness caught them off guard.

They thanked Xiao Tian, planning to continue investigating the secret to find Peng Qi, and told Xiao Tian they would inform him if they found any news before leaving the open space.

Xiao Tian pondered for a long time and felt that he had recently encountered too many unbelievable things. First was the voice of the girl who saved him in the Illusion Realm; now, Peng Qi’s disappearance—what secrets were hidden here?

The first question left Xiao Tian clueless after much thought, so he had to set it aside for now.

Peng Qi’s disappearance differed from Peng Jiamu’s in that the most apparent difference was the jade pendant.

After Peng Jiamu’s disappearance, the two jade pendants were still there, but with Peng Qi’s disappearance, the jade pendants were also gone, which was truly baffling.

Time passed quickly without him realizing it. When Xiao Tian snapped out of his thoughts, the distant setting sun was as red as blood, and it was nearing dusk.

As Xiao Tian was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something faintly. About two steps to his left front, there was a trace of extremely weak energy.

And the source of energy was precisely where Peng Qi had disappeared earlier.

Xiao Tian took two steps to carefully sense it, and although the energy quickly vanished, he still detected it. The result shocked him greatly—this energy was astonishingly similar to the one he sensed in the shrine where he saw the remnant image of Liu Hanyan!

Could it be? Was there a connection between the Double Fish Jade Pendant and the shrine?

Xiao Tian thought about the link as he walked towards the road...

...

In the luxurious palace where the Japanese imperial family resided, a petite girl was lost in thought in her boudoir.

Recently, Xiao Tian’s actions in Japan had caused a worldwide sensation—especially after he destroyed the shrine, making him a public enemy in Japan!

This treatment was vastly different from the hero’s welcome he received upon returning home!

Since Xiao Tian was seriously injured, Ozawa Miwa had been worried about the man she was supposed to hate.

Learning that Xiao Tian returned home safely, she secretly felt some joy, which troubled the young royal princess who had just begun to understand love for a long while.

Thinking that after Xiao Tian returned home, they might never meet again in this life, she imagined him marrying and having children with someone else, thought...

Ozawa Miwa’s slightly childish face unknowingly let fall a tear: ”Brother Tian, will you think of me occasionally?”

The bedroom door opened, and Mei Huizi, who had taken care of her since childhood, entered with a simple yet richly nutritious dinner.

”Princess?”

Seeing Ozawa Miwa not responding, Mei Huizi had to approach to check and saw Ozawa Miwa lost in thought, her face still bearing traces of dry tears.

Mei Huizi was shocked and quickly asked, ”What’s wrong with you, Princess?”

”Hm?” Ozawa Miwa came back to her senses and, seeing it was Mei Huizi, acted coyly: ”Granny Mei, didn’t we agree that when no one else is around, you’d call me by my name?”

Mei Huizi looked at the innocent and lively Ozawa Miwa, smiling kindly: ”The little princess is already an adult. She can’t act like a child anymore.”

Ozawa Miwa’s delicate face showed a mischievous smile, then blushed and shyly said, ”Granny Mei, I, I have a question I’d like to ask you!”

Mei Huizi lovingly patted her little head, her eyes infinitely tender: ”Sure!”

”Well, um...” Ozawa Miwa stuttered: ”If you fell in love with someone, but he was an enemy in a different faction, what would you do?”

After asking, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mei Huizi, ears perked, ready to listen to her answer.

Since childhood, every problem she encountered had never received a disappointing answer from Granny Mei.

But this time, upon hearing Ozawa Miwa’s question, Mei Huizi remained silent for a long time before lovingly patting her face: ”Sometimes, liking someone doesn’t mean it’s suitable, and if you pursue it recklessly because of that like, it will exhaust you.”

Mei Huizi couldn’t bring herself to give a direct answer!
