My heart was filled with curiosity.
Xiao Jingyan smiled.
"I can't tell you yet."
"Why?" I asked, a bit anxious.
Xiao Jingyan shook her head.
"The time isn't right."
I was filled with doubt, but seeing that Xiao Jingyan was unwilling to say more, I decided to let it go.
"Wan'er, you must remember," Xiao Jingyan said, looking at me with a serious tone.
"You are exceptional; don't give up on yourself for someone unworthy."
I nodded.
"I understand, Sect Leader."
Xiao Jingyan smiled again.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore."
She walked over to the table and picked up an exquisite box, handing it to me.
"This is a gift for you."
I opened the box to find a translucent jade pendant inside.
The pendant was pure white, warm to the touch, and emitted a faint fragrance.
On the front of the pendant was an intricately carved phoenix, poised to take flight, lifelike in its detail.
The back of the pendant bore two characters: Peaceful.
"This pendant can protect you," Xiao Jingyan said.
"Put it on, and no matter what danger you encounter, it will keep you safe."
I felt a surge of emotion as I took the jade pendant and hung it around my neck.
The cool touch brought me a sense of reassurance.
"Thank you, Master," I said.
Xiao Jingyan smiled.
"Alright, go rest now."
I nodded and turned to leave the chamber.
As I stepped out, I looked up at the sky.
The night sky was deep and filled with twinkling stars.
Who could be the one protecting me?
My heart was filled with questions and anticipation.
I nodded again.
Turning away from the chamber, I stepped outside.
Looking up at the sky, I wondered who my protector truly was.
I followed Xiao Jingyan into the Xiaoyao Peak Great Hall.
A strange atmosphere lingered in the air.
At the dining table sat Su Jin.
Her gaze swept over us.
The corners of her lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Master, you finally arrived."
Su Jin's voice was sweet to the point of being cloying.
"I have already had dinner prepared. Please take a seat."
Xiao Jingyan frowned slightly but still sat down in silence.
I followed closely behind, my heart filled with caution.
"By the way, Master."
Su Jin suddenly spoke up.
"It seems that your beloved spirit beast, Bai, hasn't shown up for quite some time."
Xiao Jingyan's body tensed instantly.
"Elder Su, what do you mean by that?"
Su Jin chuckled lightly.
"Oh, nothing. Just found it strange."
"After all, Bai is the treasured guardian of Xiaoyao Peak. How could it suddenly go missing?"
I felt a sense of foreboding creeping in.
The spirit beast Silver Fox Bai was Master Xiao's favorite companion.
Although it had only gained intelligence for ten years, it was exceptionally clever and gifted.
"Su Jin, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Xiao Jingyan's voice was icy and piercing.
Unhurriedly, Su Jin pulled something out from her sleeve.
"Master, look at what this is?" It was a ball of snow-white fur. It glowed slightly silver under the candlelight. Xiao Jingyan's face turned pale instantly. "This is..." Her voice trembled. "Xiaobai's..." "Yes, it is the fur of 'Silver Fox Bai'." Su Jin's smile became more and more proud. "It's a pity that such a precious spiritual beast was seriously injured." "You vicious woman!" Xiao Jingyan stood up suddenly, tears welling up in his eyes. "What did you do to Xiaobai?" Su Jin raised an eyebrow. "Me? I didn't do anything." "It just disappeared suddenly, and I kindly helped find its fur." "Maybe it was attacked by other spiritual beasts, and it escaped with serious injuries."
