"No! This jade pendant feels different from the one at home!"
Qi Yan'er stared at the half of the jade pendant in her hand, her face changing in surprise.
"What?"
"Different?"
Everyone present was astonished when Qi Yan'er finished speaking.
"Yan'er~ Could it be that this jade pendant can't be pieced together with your father's?"
Yun Yun, whose child had been snatched, didn't rush to leave and asked curiously.
Did the teacher... get a fake one?
"No."
Qi Yan'er shook her head.
At this moment, Queen Medusa's face darkened, and she said coldly,
"Sect Leader Yun, Yan'er is my daughter. You don't need to worry about these things. As the Sect Leader of Yunlan Sect, you'd better leave quickly."
Hearing this, Yun Yun's pretty face turned cold, and she met Queen Medusa's gaze:
"Yan'er is also my sister!"
"Her father entrusted me to take care of her and take her as his disciple. Yan'er's affairs are my affairs!"
The gaze between the two stunningly beautiful women was undoubtedly a war without gunpowder, leaving everyone dizzy.
Would they fight over Yan'er?
Caught in the middle, Qi Yan'er looked left at Yun Yun and right at Queen Medusa, and quickly smiled:
"Mother, Sister Yun Yun, actually, this jade pendant is real!"
"Really?"
Qi Yan'er's words immediately aroused the curiosity of the two women who were locked in a fierce confrontation.
"Yes~"
Qi Yan'er clutched the jade pendant tightly in her small hand and said with a grin,
"This jade pendant is pieced together with the one my father had. What I mean by different is that it gives me a different feeling; it doesn't have that gentle, cool feeling."
Gentle, cool feeling!
This statement puzzled everyone. The Snake-People Elder asked in confusion,
"This is very strange. The jade pendant is divided into two, so why does it have such different feelings?"
The Second Elder frowned,
"Could it be that this heirloom jade pendant of our clan has a secret that we don't know about?"
The Third Elder was equally surprised,
"Perhaps after the jade pendant was separated, it experienced things that we don't know about, which is why it has that feeling."
Seeing that the three elders had spoken, the Fourth Elder subconsciously spoke up,
"Do you think the gentle and cool feeling of that jade pendant might be... related to Princess Butterfly?"
Σ(⊙▽⊙ "a!!!"
The Fourth Elder's words made everyone's eyes widen, and all eyes were focused on him!
Fourth Elder: (⊙o⊙)...?
What's wrong? Why
are you all looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong again?
"Yan'er~ What this elder said makes a lot of sense!"
Just then, "Xiao Yan," who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled faintly.
Seeing Yao Chen speak, Qi Yan'er immediately had an idea.
"Old man with white hair, you mean..."
"Hehe~ Yan'er, you're right."
Yao Chen stroked his beard and smiled:
"I am currently in a soul form, using this ring as my vessel. You also had this ring before."
"I suppose you sensed something back then to discover me, right?"
"Yes."
Qi Yan'er nodded her little head and said with a grin:
"When I got the ring, I did feel a cold sensation. I realized you, old man with white hair, were up to no good, so I threw the ring out the window."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Yao Chen's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly:
"Yan'er~ I've never had any ill intentions towards you. I just wanted to take you as my disciple."
"I don't want to."
Qi Yan'er rolled her eyes, hands on her hips.
"Sigh~"
Yao Chen sighed helplessly. Taking her as a disciple will be a long and arduous journey!
Their conversation led everyone to speculate.
At this moment, Hai Bodong was startled and said,
"If I understand correctly, what Senior Yao Chen means is... that Die is not dead, and her soul is in that jade pendant?"
"Hehehe~ That's exactly what I meant, but..."
"Xiao Yan" shook his head with a mature air,
"I can't be 100% sure either, after all, this matter is related to Yan'er's father!"
Upon hearing Yao Chen mention Qi Yan'er's father, Hai Bodong and the others immediately fell silent.
They all knew that Qi Yan'er's father was incredibly mysterious!
They dared not speak carelessly about his affairs.
"Father~"
Qi Yan'er frowned, recalling the past, and murmured softly,
"No wonder my father never let me touch that jade pendant. It turns out he knew all along and had been secretly nurturing the soul inside."
"But he also said that he hasn't seen my mother since he saw her once. It's so strange~"
Qi Yan'er's rambling only made everyone more puzzled.
Her father only saw her mother once?
But how did Die's soul get into that jade pendant?
"Die... is she really still alive?"
Queen Medusa's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with soft light.
"Truly... God blesses our snake-people!"
Upon hearing this news, the four elders immediately opened their arms in joy and roared with delight!
Qi Yan'er: ╮(╯▽╰)╭
These four old snakeskins, have they gone mad again?
The Snake-People's First Elder was overjoyed. He bowed deeply to Queen Medusa and said respectfully,
"Your Majesty, Princess Butterfly is still alive! This is a great joy for our clan, and we must bring her back to our tribe as soon as possible!"
The Second Elder followed suit, saying,
"The First Elder is absolutely right. Your Majesty has now advanced to the Dou Zong level and found Princess Yan'er, as well as Princess Butterfly's whereabouts. This is double the joy for our clan!"
The Third Elder also exclaimed excitedly,
"A chance for our rise! Our clan has finally waited for this day!"
The Fourth Elder turned to look at the three ecstatic Giegies and suddenly said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, the three elders are quite right, but the matter of bringing Princess Butterfly back needs careful consideration."
"..."
The Fourth Elder's words were like pouring a bucket of hot water on a raging fire, instantly extinguishing the atmosphere that had just been ignited.
Queen Medusa said calmly,
"What are your thoughts, Fourth Elder?"
Upon hearing Queen Medusa's inquiry, the Fourth Elder nearly jumped for joy!
She finally, finally stopped looking at him coldly!
He had finally endured this!
A shrewd glint appeared in the Fourth Elder's eyes as he said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, there are actually three reasons why we are not in a hurry to welcome Princess Butterfly back!"
"First, it is still uncertain whether Princess Butterfly is truly alive. This matter needs to be confirmed by Princess Yan'er asking her father."
"Second, if Princess Butterfly is indeed alive, she must have survived thanks to the miraculous nurturing of Princess Yan'er's father, this senior. Otherwise, with this senior's power, how could he have allowed Princess Butterfly to remain inside the jade pendant?"
"Third, Princess Yan'er's return to our clan, and this Senior Medicine's arrival at the same time—don't you all feel that all of this is too much of a coincidence?"
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing the Fourth Elder's words, everyone present gasped in astonishment.
The gazes directed at the Fourth Elder were filled with shock!
Even Yin Shi, known as the strategist of the Snake-People, couldn't help but change his expression, feeling his title as strategist was in jeopardy!
Yin Shi stepped forward, hastily trying to prove that he, the strategist, was still alive:
"Fourth Elder, what you say is true. All of this is indeed too much of a coincidence!"
"I actually have something to add. Your Highness Yan'er, when you came to the Tagor Desert to absorb the strange fire, was this done under your father's guidance?"
