That night, Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun were snuggling together.
"It seems we'll have to go up north again."
Jiang Junyi gently stroked Wan Qingyun's hair as he spoke.
"Okay, take your time."
Wan Qingyun leaned against Jiang Junyi's chest and whispered.
"My parents happen to be home these two days, so I'll go ask them if they know anything about this person."
At this point, Jiang Junyi lowered his head and nuzzled Wan Qingyun.
"Do you want to come with me?"
Wan Qingyun instinctively gripped Jiang Junyi's clothes tightly with her small hand. "This... isn't this a bit inappropriate..."
"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Junyi smiled. "It's like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws. Besides, you're not ugly at all."
"I... I'm not ready yet..." Wan Qingyun whispered.
You said it's okay in the video, but if they actually met in person, she wouldn't know how to handle herself.
Moreover... she didn't want to meet Jiang Junyi's parents while in a wheelchair.
"It's alright, we'll wait until you can stand up again." Jiang Junyi kissed Wan Qingyun's forehead.
He probably knew what Wan Qingyun was thinking.
"Okay, go to sleep first."
Okay~
About half an hour...
"You better behave!"
"Ahem, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it..."
The next day.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Junyi went to the Jiang Family mansion, while Wan Qingyun was working on documents in the study. As for Wan Xiaoxiao, who was on holiday, she went to the e-sports room early in the morning.
Inside the study, Wan Qingyun held the pendant, plucked a strand of hair and fed it to the pendant. "Where is the guy who caused my legs to become paralyzed?"
[This... this... I'm not really sure...]
"Tsk, what good are you anyway?" Wan Qingyun said with a look of disgust.
[What kind of talk is that! What kind of talk is that! Ask me something else!]
The Star Pendant was helpless; it couldn't understand why it couldn't glean answers to many of the questions Wan Qingyun asked.
For example, the person asking this question now is also shrouded in aura of fortune, shielding them from all heavenly secrets.
Wan Qingyun thought for a moment, "Where can we find clues about him?"
The pendant glows faintly: [Northern region, Takla Desert.]
Wan Qingyun's eyes lit up. The north—that matched the direction Zhan Changa had mentioned.
Could you be more specific?
[Emm... a... dangerous place... in the desert!]
"What's your name?!" Wan Qingyun asked urgently.
[No...]
"No?"
This won't work...
"Ha?!"
Wan Qingyun's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she saw the pendant go dark.
She held the pendant and shook it, then shook it again.
There was not a sound.
Wan Qingyun sighed softly; as expected, this pendant was completely unreliable.
On the other side.
Jiang Junyi had also arrived at the Jiang Family mansion, Jiang Wudao and Zhao Ningyu were drinking tea in the hall.
"Dad! Mom!"
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Junyi walking over, looking radiant.
"Son!" Zhao Ningyu's expression lit up, and she stood up to greet him. "Come quickly, come quickly."
She missed Jiang Junyi terribly after not seeing him for some time.
Zhao Ningyu pulled Jiang Junyi down to sit, her smile subtle, "What's the situation between you and... Wan Family's girl?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wudao quietly peeked over.
"So... we're living together now." Jiang Junyi scratched his head.
"What?! Living together!" Zhao Ningyu exclaimed in surprise, "Then... then... doesn't that mean Mom will be holding a grandson?"
"I never thought I, Jiang Wudao, would reach the age of being a grandfather, hahaha!" Jiang Wudao nodded in satisfaction.
"Hey, hey, it's not that time yet."
Jiang Wudao and Zhao Ningyu both froze, especially Jiang Wudao, who looked Jiang Junyi up and down. "Son, you... you don't... have a problem, do you?"
Before Jiang Junyi could answer, Jiang Wudao muttered to himself, "That shouldn't be the case. Your father is very strong, there's no reason for you to..."
Zhao Ningyu also looked worried. "Son, if you have any problems, just say so. Don't be shy. Let's get to the root of the problem as soon as possible."
Jiang Junyi was speechless. "What the hell is this?!"
" Qingyun has no feeling in her legs yet, how can she... you know what?"
"Isn't that just plain perverted?"
The two elders exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.
Jiang Wudao: "It seems..."
Zhao Ningyu: "That makes sense..."
"Dad, Mom, I have a question to ask." Jiang Junyi's expression turned slightly serious.
Tell me about it.
Jiang Junyi: "Do you know about the Spirit Sealing Lock?"
Zhao Ningyu frowned upon hearing this, while Jiang Wudao narrowed his eyes slightly. "A unique technique of Medicine King Valley?"
Jiang Junyi's eyes lit up. "Dad, what do you know?"
"This is quite amusing. It's a unique skill of Medicine King Valley, and no one in Medicine King Valley knows it. Yet, an outsider stole it and learned it." Jiang Wudao shook his head and smiled.
"Yes! That's right, it's the person who stole it! Dad, do you know anything about him?"
Jiang Junyi was a little anxious, not expecting that his father actually knew about such a thing.
"Why are you looking for him?" Jiang Wudao, somewhat curious.
"The reason Qingyun's legs are paralyzed is because she was afflicted by the Spirit Sealing Lock," Jiang Junyi said solemnly.
Jiang Wudao's pupils contracted slightly. "I see..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I heard a long time ago that this guy went to a dangerous place in the northern desert."
"Desert?"
"Hmm, it seems like they said we'd be cultivating there."
Jiang Junyi looked at Jiang Wudao suspiciously. "Dad, how do you know so much detail?"
"Um..." Jiang Wudao scratched his cheek, "Your father is, after all, the head of the Jiang Family. It's normal for him to know some secrets, right?"
That seems to make sense.
After hearing Jiang Wudao's words, Jiang Junyi immediately stood up:
"Then I'll go back and make preparations!"
Zhao Ningyu sighed and said, "Oh, he really has forgotten his mother now that he has a wife. He only stayed for half an hour before leaving in a hurry."
Jiang Junyi's expression froze for a moment, then he ran up behind Zhao Ningyu with a grin and started massaging her shoulders:
"Mom~ How could that be? I just wanted to bring your daughter-in-law home as soon as possible to make you happy."
Zhao Ningyu rolled her eyes. "Hmph, isn't there a little rush?"
"Oh my god~ How about I bring you a gift when I come back from the north? I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"That's more like it. Here, take this to Qingyun." Zhao Ningyu brought over a bag of wrapped wontons.
Jiang Junyi took the bag and glanced at it. "So much?"
"Didn't you say Qingyun likes to eat this? So Mom made a little extra," Zhao Ningyu said with a smile.
"Hehe, Mom, you're so sweet~"
"Tch, get out of here!" Zhao Ningyu waved her hand impatiently.
"Okay!"
Jiang Junyi grabbed the bag and ran out in a flash.
Zhao Ningyu then looked at Jiang Wudao with a worried expression. "Husband, what our son just said..."
Jiang Wudao narrowed his eyes slightly. "That's right, it should be him. I didn't expect that he would use the Spirit Sealing Lock on a little girl."
"At that time Wan Family's daughter was not even a tenth-digit age."
Zhao Ningyu sighed, "I remember we weren't in Jiang City back then either."
Jiang Wudao: "Yes..."
Zhao Ningyu: "Will my son be in danger?"
"No, he's probably not there anymore."
"Then why did you still let your son go?"
"That dangerous place is also a treasure trove; there might be some good stuff there."
