Chapter 123: Chapter 123 The Jade Pendant on a Red String

Xia Xi handed the jade pendant to Xia Ruomin, saying, "Keep this jade pendant on you these few days, even when you bathe. You can’t be separated from it. It’s best to find a string and hang it around her so it doesn’t fall off easily."

"Alright, alright, Minmin will keep the jade pendant in her pocket." Wang Shan nodded, quickly took the jade pendant from Xia Xi’s hand, put it in Xia Ruomin’s pocket, and continued to ask after raising her head to look at Xia Xi:

"What should we do next?"

"First, tell me who gave you the pendant? What does it look like?" Xia Xi seated herself and asked, looking at her.

"Yes, why are you accepting things from strangers and even giving them to Minmin to use?" The old patriarch regained his senses and asked sternly, looking at Xia Tian and Wang Shan.

Although Minmin was not quite sure why things had suddenly changed, she knew it had something to do with the pendant around her neck. She quietly nestled in Wang Shan’s arms without uttering a word.

"A week ago, we took Minmin to play at Baima Temple. During our stroll in the temple, in a rather secluded corner, we met an elegantly dressed lady who seemed to have sprained her ankle. We helped her to a pavilion and waited for her aide. During the wait, we chatted and the lady spoke of how cute Minmin was, we had a rather pleasant conversation.

Later, a man came to pick her up, she said he was her husband. Before leaving, she gave Minmin this pendant, because she found her adorable and destined."

"We initially declined the offer, but she was too enthusiastic, so we accepted it. Minmin also liked the pendant and kept wearing it. We didn’t think it would... why would she harm our Minmin?" Wang Shan ended up hugging Minmin and sobbing as she spoke.

"Mama don’t cry." Minmin patted Wang Shan upon hearing her sobs and tried to comfort her.

"It’s also my fault, don’t cry anymore, Minmin will definitely get better." Xia Tian comforted his wife upon seeing her cry so bitterly.

"Stop crying." The old patriarch commanded.

Wang Shan immediately stopped crying, not uttering a sound, knowing she must listen to the head of the house.

"Do you guys know the couple? Or can you trace their whereabouts?" Xia Xi immediately asked as Wang Shan stopped.

"We can find out, do we have to find them to save Minmin?" Xia Tian immediately asked.

"You investigate it. Minmin has the jade pendant on her and won’t be in danger for now. After the birthday banquet, I will give you an address. Take Minmin and meet me there." Xia Xi instructed looking at him.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoxi." Xia Tian replied, nodding, his face filled with gratitude.

"Don’t mention it, this is my duty, I must investigate thoroughly this use of evil techniques to harm others." Xia Xi shook her head and replied.

[Host, the system has a red rope which is resistant to fire and blades. You can buy it and give it to your little niece.] The system’s voice rung in Xia Yue’s head once again.

"Why do I need to buy that?" Xia Yue, caught off guard, asked.

[If the person intending to harm your niece manages to take the jade pendant away, won’t they have the capacity to continue harming your niece? If you buy this red rope from the system, unless your niece undoes it herself, the rope can’t be untied, ensuring the pendant would not be removed from her.]The system eagerly promoted the idea, having only spent just over ten thousand Cosmic Points after being with her for three months – too little in its opinion.

"Alright. I’ll buy it. How many Cosmic Points?" Xia Yue relented, asking.

[According to your niece’s situation, a red rope worth a hundred Cosmic Points should suffice.]the system answered immediately.
