Chapter 338: Chapter 334 The Origin of the Jade Clean Bottle

"Master Yan, why are you here?"

Upon seeing Yan Feng, the group exchanged puzzled looks. They had run to the Yan Residence to find people, and yet, the person in question had come to their dwelling.

Uncle Liu said to Huo Sining with a smile, "Mr. Yan is here to find Miss Huo Sining."

"Looking for me?" Huo Sining was somewhat perplexed. She couldn’t figure out why Yan Feng had come to find her, especially since she didn’t have any connection with him, and given Yan Feng’s personality, he was not likely to take the initiative to see her.

"Miss Huo."

Yan Feng called out to Huo Sining without hesitation. His eyes fixed steadily on her, he asked directly, "Do you recognize this object?"

Huo Sining was startled. She looked up, and Yan Feng slowly raised his right hand, revealing a Jade Pendant twirling below it in the palm of his hand.

The pendant was no larger than a thumb, but it was made of the translucent and lustrous Mutton Fat Jade, obviously not an ordinary item.

After getting a clear view of the pendant’s appearance, Huo Sining’s face suddenly changed dramatically, her mouth agape as if she wanted to say something.

But as she was about to speak, she noticed Su Qingqing and the others beside her curiously examining both her and the Jade Pendant, and the words that were about to cross her lips were promptly swallowed back down.

Realizing it was inappropriate to speak in this place, she quickly walked up to Yan Feng, grabbed his hand, and headed toward her room, before firmly closing the door behind them with a rapidity that brooked no interruption.

Gu Xu’s face had tensed up when he saw Huo Sining grab Yan Feng’s hand, and now that Huo Sining had pulled Yan Feng into her room and shut the door tightly, his complexion turned even more ashen.

His gaze was fixed rigidly on the closed door, as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.

Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan did not notice the odd expression on Gu Xu’s face, but they were quite puzzled by Huo Sining’s peculiar behavior.

"Why would Master Yan suddenly come looking for Ningning? They don’t seem to know each other, right?" asked Su Qingqing, confused.

"I find it strange too. When we visited the Yan Residence last time, they were complete strangers. But what about that pendant? Why did Huo Sining react so strongly when she saw it?"

"I don’t know, but I suddenly realized that Master Yan is quite handsome. With the title of ’master,’ I thought he was some old man in his fifties or sixties before coming to Hetian. Who knew he would be so young? He doesn’t look over thirty."

Last time at the Yan Residence, because Yan Feng was entirely focused on his wood carving, Su Qingqing had not paid attention to his appearance, so she was somewhat surprised when she saw Yan Feng’s face this time.

Bai Yishan nodded, "He is quite handsome, and he has the look of an ancient scholar. There’s a feeling of ’a resplendent young noble, proudly graceful as fine jade.’"

Ouyang Jun and Li Quan Jikun exchanged awkward glances and, sniffling, walked away.

Gu Xu’s face grew darker, and the air pressure around him plummeted yet further; inexplicably, those two women were still warmly discussing Yan Feng’s appearance and age, completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere.

After Huo Sining pulled Yan Feng into the room and shut the door, she saw that he was looking at his hand with a peculiar expression. Following his gaze, she realized she was still holding Yan Feng’s hand and quickly let go, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Fortunately, even though Yan Feng’s expression was frosty, he wasn’t angry, and Huo Sining’s heart settled a bit. Her eyes landed on his Mutton Fat Jade Pendant, and they displayed an undeniable mix of excitement and surprise.

"Master Yan, this pendant--"

"Yan Feng." Yan Feng looked up at Huo Sining and interrupted her softly.

"What?" Huo Sining was momentarily stunned.

"My name is Yan Feng, you can just call me by my name," Yan Feng explained expressionlessly, yet his gaze fell upon Huo Sining’s forehead.

Huo Sining nodded her head and after a pause, she continued, "Yan Feng, where did you get this pendant from?"

Yan Feng: "It seems you have seen this pendant before. Where did you see it?"

Huo Sining saw that Yan Feng was not answering her question and hesitated for a moment before responding, "I have one that’s exactly the same as yours, which is why I wanted to ask if you know the origins of this pendant."

"Where is your pendant then?" Yan Feng continued to inquire.

Huo Sining’s expression suddenly became unnatural, and she awkwardly shook her head, "The pendant got smashed by me."

"Smashed?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng couldn’t help but frown deeply, his mind slightly pondering. He seemed to have thought of something and raised his eyebrows.

"That Jade Clean Bottle is an ancient magic artifact, crafted from Kunlun Mountain jade marrow, exquisitely solidified, with the Spirit Pearl Heart Method inscribed on it. Only by opening it in the correct manner can you inherit the mental method."

What does that mean? Huo Sining was totally baffled upon hearing Yan Feng’s words. Ancient magic artifacts, jade marrow, Spirit Pearl Heart Method – these things seemed like they were straight out of a fantasy novel. Big brother, are you sure you’re not joking?

"No wonder you only know these little tricks. You must have unintentionally inherited the Ice Spirit Master after smashing the Clean Bottle, and then performed the blood ritual, right? I really don’t know what kind of freak luck you have!"

Yan Feng looked somewhat displeased as he spoke this. He was not satisfied with the Ice Spirit Master before him at all.

But the Ice Spirit Bead had already recognized its master, and the Ice Spirit Clan would have to rely on this woman to uphold their future. Moreover, this woman possessed royal bloodline, being a legitimate descendant of the royal family. Even if he was dissatisfied, he had no right to interfere.

"The Jade Clean Bottle you smashed, do you still have the shards?" Yan Feng suddenly asked, as if thinking of something.

Huo Sining nodded. She had directly smashed the Jade Pendant in order to prevent Wu Jingyi from snatching it. For some reason, she could not bring herself to throw away the shards.

As a result, the next day, she discovered that the pearl that had entered her body could repel water. Realizing the magical nature of the pearl, she sensed that the Jade Pendant might hide secrets, so she carefully collected each shard with a handkerchief. Even when leaving the Huo family, she carried them close to her body all the way to S City.

"Uncle Liu mentioned that you were planning to leave today, right?" Yan Feng suddenly asked.

Huo Sining nodded. Yan Feng then asked, "Where to?"

Not noticing anything amiss with Yan Feng’s question that felt like a casual interrogation, Huo Sining candidly replied, "S City, I’m studying at the university there."

Yan Feng said, "Then after you get to S City, give me the shards, and I will see if I can find a way to repair that artifact for you."

Huo Sining unconsciously nodded her head. It was only after she had nodded that she realized something was off.

What does that mean? Could it be—

"Master Yan... Are you, are you planning to come with us to S City?" Huo Sining suddenly raised her head in disbelief as she looked at Yan Feng.
