Chapter 735 - Fated to Meet ChuxiChapter 735: Fated to Meet Chuxi
Ling Chuxi recalled the assassination attempt, and feared there was a huge conspiracy going on.
No matter what, she still could not figure it out, so Ling Chuxi did not bother to think about it anymore. This was a matter of the Celestial Sect’s Duan family and it did not concern her. Ling Chuxi did not want to invite trouble either.
“Where is your grandfather?” Ling Chuxi leaned down and asked the boy.
The little boy did not reply, and instead slowly held his hand out in front of Ling Chuxi. He opened his clenched palm, revealing a crystal that was exactly the same as the Ink Jade Crystal pendant on his chest.

The little boy did not respond and only held out his hand.
Ling Chuxi was quite touched. If Jiang Wuhen was telling the truth, then this Ink Jade Crystal was uncommon even among the sects, and was surely worth a lot. If it were to be changed into real gold and silver... Just thinking about it, Ling Chuxi’s eyes shone with greed. If someone who knew the true value of the crystal knew Ling Chuxi’s thoughts, they would probably faint in anger, only to awaken and faint again in an infinite cycle of outrage and despair. This was the Ink Jade Crystal! How could its price be measured with such ordinary things like gold and silver? This was a precious treasure that other people could not even dream of buying, even with a mountain of gold!
Ling Chuxi indeed wanted it, but the little boy was not saying anything. She couldn’t possibly just shamelessly snatch it from him, right?
The little boy used his other hand to open Ling Chuxi’s hand, and stuffed the Ink Jade Crystal into it without speaking.
“Is it really for me?” Ling Chuxi asked slowly.
The little boy remained quiet and quickly retracted his hand.
“He really gets along with you. I’ve been speaking to him the entire afternoon and he didn’t even bother about me. I saw that he kept looking at that piece of Ink Jade Crystal, so I gave him one. I never thought that he would instantly come running over to give it to you.” Duan Qingchen’s bitter laughter rang out, and he suddenly appeared in front of Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi had figured that the little boy wasn’t alone, but she hadn’t expected that it was Duan Qingchen who was following him. Ling Chuxi was shocked. She hadn’t even sensed him! His cultivation was truly fearsome. If he really had any ill intentions towards her, she would probably be dead without even knowing it.
“Senior Duan.” Ling Chuxi immediately straightened and bowed respectfully.

I don’t even know how he knows you live here.” Duan Qingchen waved his hand dismissively, looking a bit perplexed. Obviously, he was also helpless regarding the matter of the boy’s body, but his expression was still kind.
“Senior, it’s good that you’re here now, I’ll return this Ink Jade Crystal to you.” Ling Chuxi handed over the Ink Jade Crystal. In the past, it would have been difficult for her to give it back, but seeing the boy’s innocent and confused gaze, Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but feel like she was shamelessly taking advantage of him.
“No need. It’s so rare that he is close to someone. Since he has given it to you, just keep it. That’s right, how should I address you, young lady?” Duan Qingchen asked lightly.
“This Junior’s name is Ling Chuxi,” Ling Chuxi answered politely.
“Duan Xiaomo!” Right after Ling Chuxi said her name, the little boy suddenly opened his mouth and spoke.
“What?” Duan Qingchen immediately looked at the boy, so ecstatic that his voice was shaking.
Ling Chuxi was a little confused as to why Duan Qingchen was so excited, but she had no idea that ever since Duan Qingchen had found the little boy, he had not spoken a word. No matter what was said to him, he only touched the Ink Jade Crystal on his chest, looking dazed. Duan Qingchen had even doubted if he could speak. Hearing the little boy’s voice now, Duan Qingchen was naturally surprised and delighted.
