Afterwards, she indignantly pushed out her chest in Lu Chuan’s direction and said, “Well, then come on.

Since you’ve sealed my Dantian, I can’t resist even if I wanted to.

Do whatever it is you want to do, and then you might as well kill me after!”

Seeing Lu Qingshuang angry, Lu Chuan quickly said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was just trying to lighten the mood with a joke.

I really didn’t have those thoughts.”

Lu Qingshuang glared at Lu Chuan with an annoyed expression, wanting to give him a proper scolding in her role as an elder sister.

But then she suddenly thought about how Lu Chuan had lost his father at a young age and his mother had been killed, which made his life story quite tragic.

It was understandable, considering Lu Chuan’s upbringing without parents, that he might develop some bad habits, and he was even somewhat deserving of sympathy.

Now that she was the only older cousin who might still care about him, since the rest of the Lu family probably wanted Lu Chuan dead, she found herself hesitating.

Adding to that, although Lu Chuan might not be as good as his father, Lu Cangsheng, he still left a far better impression on her than those mixed-blood disasters sired by the mistresses of the Lu family.

So suddenly, she couldn’t bring herself to scold Lu Chuan any longer.

“He’s never experienced the care of his elders since he was young, and now I guess I’m the only elder he has.

If I scold him as well, he’ll definitely feel terrible, so I should be more forgiving.

Boys will be boys, after all, having some strange thoughts is quite normal,” she reasoned.

With this thought, Lu Qingshuang softened her tone and said, “All right, all right, I won’t be mad at you anymore.

After all, you’re my little brother, aren’t you.”

Unaware of the change in Lu Qingshuang’s inner thoughts, Lu Chuan could only hypothesize, noticing her suddenly compassionate glance, and felt a bit uneasy, guessing, “Why does it feel like her gaze is a bit strange?

Could it be that she herself has those taboo thoughts?”

His gaze towards Lu Qingshuang also grew peculiar.

Lu Qingshuang didn’t waste any more time, and pulled a square brocade box from her bosom.

Opening it revealed four pieces of a shattered jade pendant inside.

Even when the four pieces were put together, it was still not a complete jade pendant, clearly missing one more piece.

“I came to the secular world this time to find the last missing piece of this jade pendant.

With these four jade remnants, I can sense the final piece is somewhere in the southern part of Cathay.

However, I’m not familiar with the secular world; it’s not easy to find it in an unfamiliar place, so what you need to do is help me find this last piece and complete the jade pendant,” Lu Qingshuang said indifferently.

Using his Divine Sense, Lu Chuan examined the four fragments of jade and discovered they contained extraordinary Spiritual Energy.

Furthermore, each jade remnant held chaotic bits of information, which, perhaps because the pendant had shattered, intermingled in disarray, obscuring any specific details.

“What’s this jade pendant for?”

Without hiding anything, Lu Qingshuang replied, “This jade pendant is the key to a treasure somewhere.

Once it’s complete, we’ll gain the location of the treasure.

Your task is not only to help me find the last jade remnant but also, after the jade pendant is pieced together and we get the specific location, to accompany me to the treasure land and ensure my safety.”

At first, she had only planned to have Lu Chuan help her find the final jade remnant, but considering Lu Chuan’s formidable strength and the unpredictability of dangers within the treasure land, it seemed safer to have him join her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Then, do I get a share of the treasure after we find it?”

Lu Qingshuang gave him a blank look and said, “Depends on my mood.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Okay, I agree.”

The fact that Lu Qingshuang was willing to report to the family that Lu Chuan was already dead was a huge favor in itself, as it temporarily removed the danger of being targeted by the Lu family.

Now that there was also an opportunity to share in the treasure of the treasure land, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Lu Chuan had agreed, Lu Qingshuang wasted no more time and said, “Then let’s set out now to find the remaining piece of the jade.”

“Wait for me to go back and prepare.

After everything is arranged, I’ll leave with you,” Lu Chuan said.

Lu Qingshuang nodded and then asked how they would return.

“I’ll fly us back.

That should be quicker,” Lu Chuan replied.

Lu Qingshuang hesitated, clearly a bit embarrassed by the suggestion.

But she soon thought that Lu Chuan was her cousin and not a stranger, and being overly concerned about such things between siblings would just make her seem petty.

So, she nodded, approached Lu Chuan, and wrapped her arms around him.

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened in surprise.

He had intended to envelop Lu Qingshuang with his power and fly her back, but he hadn’t expected his cousin to simply embrace him outright.

He didn’t dare to voice his thoughts, since making a big deal out of it would only make them both feel awkward.

So he took a deep breath, placed his hand on Lu Qingshuang’s waist, and the two of them took off into the sky, leaving the place behind.

Soon enough, they landed in the courtyard of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

Mu Nanqing had been anxiously waiting.

Seeing Lu Chuan returning with Lu Qingshuang, surprise covered her face, and even more so when she noticed Lu Qingshuang clinging to Lu Chuan, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
