"No need to apologize. Being able to stay by your side, accompanying you, is my greatest happiness," Qin Qi said, shaking her head with a blissful smile.

"Get the jade as quickly as you can. We might have to leave Kyoto in a few days and pay a visit to Wuling," Xia Xi replied.

"No problem." Tian Rong nodded, then curiously asked, "What are you going to do in Wuling? It’s a very remote place with rugged mountain roads and dense forests. It’s easy to get lost if you don’t have someone familiar with the place to guide you."

"We are the messengers of love, going there for a mission, making sure that other people’s love can last forever," Xia Yue said with a jovial laugh.

"Oh, I see." Tian Rong found her words somewhat credible; they were total strangers, but they were hustling about for his and Qiqi’s affairs.

"It’s getting late. We’ll return to the hotel now. Once you have the jade, bring it there. I will make it ready as soon as possible," Xia Xi said, looking at Tian Rong, who seemed to believe Xia Yue’s words. She remained speechless.

"I see. I will." Tian Rong nodded, then turned to look at Qin Qi and asked, "Can Qiqi stay with me now?"

"Take these. They should temporarily counteract the Yin Qi emanating from her body, so it won’t disturb you," Wen Ziyin said as he handed Tian Rong some Talismanic Paper.

"Will this harm Qiqi?" Seeing the talismanic paper, Tian Rong instinctively pulled Qin Qi behind him, fearing it might harm her.

"Relax. It won’t," Wen Ziyin assured him, shaking his head.

Only upon receiving confirmation, Tian Rong dared to take the Talismanic Paper and thanked Wen Ziyin profusely.

As Qin Qi couldn’t go out, Tian Rong personally escorted Yan Mo and the others to the gate.

It was only after they disappeared from view that Tian Rong went back to his room to continue reminiscing about the difficulties they faced over these past years.

It was not until dinner time, when summoned by one of the household staff to join Tian Lao for a meal, that he finally left his room to go to the dining hall.

When he arrived, everyone else was already there.

After exchanging greetings with them, Tian Lao, having heard from the staff that Xia Xi and the others had come by again, asked about it.

Tian Rong seized this opportunity to ask him for the black and white jade.

"Father, Miss Xia and Mr. Wen said they can carve me a protective talisman. They suggest a jade one, with black and white being best. I remember the Emperor once granted you a black and white jade and it’s just sitting in the storage; you merely take a look now and then. Why not give it to me? I can have Miss Xia carve it into a talisman," Tian Rong suggested to his father.

Upon hearing Tian Rong’s request for the black and white jade, everyone was stunned. They all knew how much Tian Lao liked that piece - always wanting a skilled artisan to carve the perfect jade, but never deciding on a specific design, hence keeping it unused in storage.

"Sir, let’s give it to our son. As Miss Xia said, his physical constitution strongly attracts unclean things. If utilizing this black and white jade can protect him, it’s a good thing," Madame Tian, always protective of her son, tried to convince her husband.

Tian Lao was visibly torn between his love for the jade and his concern for his son.

"Fine." In the end, he decided his son’s life was more important, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Father, if you really love that jade, I can try to find another one for you. The world is full of jade; surely, there’s more black and white ones," the second son Tian comforted his father with a smile.

"Yeah, father. As long as our third brother is safe and sound, it’s good," the eldest son Tian agreed, nodding in approval. Their brother asking for something was definitely a good
