Early the next morning, Bai Yunxi and others were called into the room again.
This time, the old man's mental state was obviously not very good, which made Bai Yunxi a little worried.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay~! I know my own body well, cough cough cough..."
The old man had some difficulty speaking. By the time he finished speaking, he was already coughing and out of breath.
Bai Yunxi hurriedly walked over to check his pulse and found that his body was severely exhausted. It was obvious that he didn't have much time left.
"how so."
It was obviously fine yesterday, but it has become like this today. The only thing she can think of is that all this is the result of his divination for the two of them.
"Why are you doing this?"
Bai Yunxi's face showed bitterness, she didn't expect a person she had never met before to treat them like this.
"This is fate, child... From now on, you will be responsible for protecting the Jiang family. Promise me that you will protect it, okay?"
"Well, I promise you!"
With trembling hands, the old man placed the two letters in Bai Yunxi's hands and ordered:
"The white letter is to be handed over to the Elf King. The Elf King's birthday is coming soon. This is our Jiang family's birthday gift to him. The other letter is for you. When you are eighteen years old, you can
Open this letter and read it."
"Okay, do you have anything else to explain?"
"My granddaughter is about the same age as you. I want you to take her to see the outside world. Don't worry, she is very well-behaved and won't cause trouble everywhere."
Bai Yunxi frowned slightly. She was an elf. If she went to the outside world, she might attract a lot of people's attention. One Jesse was enough to give him a headache. Another one might make even more people covet her. This is not what she wanted to see.
Arrived.
"I have two pendants here. If you put them on Jesse and Jiang Qian, others will not know that they are elves."
The old man tremblingly took out two pieces of kodama. The two pieces of kodama were all white. There was no special pattern on them, but they faintly exuded a soft halo. It was not simple to look at.
"Grandpa! I won't leave, I want to stay here with you."
Outside the door, a young girl ran in. She threw herself directly into the old man's arms, almost causing the old man to die on the spot.
"Qian'er, how old are you? Get up quickly, there is someone else here!"
The old man patted his granddaughter on the back and asked her to get up, but she still refused to get up.
"I don't! Grandpa, don't think that I don't know what your plans are. Let me tell you, even if the King of Heaven comes, I will not leave you for half a step."
Jiang Qian raised her head and stared at the old man with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
"You kid, grandpa is doing this for your own good."
The old man sighed!
Bai Yunxi saw her grandfather and grandson looking like this and said:
"Let's go out first. You and your grandson can talk first. I don't do anything to force people. If she doesn't want to, I won't agree to take her away."
After saying that, he led a group of people out of the house.
After leaving the house, Bai Yunxi handed one of the jade pendants to Jesse and said:
"This jade pendant can hide your identity as an elf. When you leave here in the future, you must never leave this jade pendant. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I will."
Jesse held the jade pendant in his hand, and Nalan Yutong looked at the jade pendant, feeling extremely excited.
She knew that with it, they could be together in peace and contentment.
"Yun Xi, what's going on in the house? Why does the old man want you to take his granddaughter away?"
After holding it in for a while, Gongsun Yu finally couldn't help it and asked.
Others also looked at Bai Yunxi, looking puzzled.
"This is their family's business, so it's best not to ask too much."
Bai Yunxi kept silent.
Gongsun Yu curled his lips and said nothing more.
Fortunately, there is a pavilion in this yard, so no one felt bored. Bai Yunxi put some food on the table, which was quite comfortable.
After a long time, Jiang Qian walked out of the house wiping her tears. She looked up at them and cried:
"It's all your fault."
Then he ran away.
...
Everyone was speechless. Were they shot while lying down?
It seems like they haven't done anything, okay?
"Yun Xi, come in."
Inside the house, the old man's voice came.
Bai Yunxi walked in. The old man was already lying on the bed. When he saw Bai Yunxi, he waved for her to come over.
Bai Yunxi walked over, put her hand on the old man's pulse, and felt for him.
"You don't have to read it, I don't have much time left."
"How could it be like this? I will definitely be able to save you. Just wait for me for a day and I will refine the elixir."
Bai Yunxi couldn't bear to see him pass away. She turned around to leave, but was directly held back by the old man.
"No need, my life is over. My only wish now is that you take Jiang Qian away."
"Could anything bad happen to her if she stays here?"
This is the only reason Bai Yunxi can think of why the old man strongly asked her to leave.
"Well, the Jiang family is famous for its divination skills. My ancestors have always been doing divination for the Elf King in the palace, and it was not until my generation that I left the palace. Now, my granddaughter has inherited my divination skills, and I don't want him to have any more divination skills.
Step into the footsteps of the Jiang family.
Divination is inherently contrary to nature, and the life of those it touches will be extremely short. I don't want my granddaughter to waste her good years on this."
Bai Yunxi understood clearly that Jiang Jiacheng also lost here.
It seems that the old man has made up his mind and does not intend to let the Jiang family have anything to do with the royal family.
"Okay, I promise you, take her out of here."
"Thank you."
The old man showed a smile. He had known for a long time that Bai Yunxi would definitely agree.
"It's getting late. I'll send someone to follow you to the royal city. If you hand over the previous envelope to the Elf King, you will have completed the task. As for what you want to accomplish, I can only say one thing, be careful of the Elf Queen."
"Okay, I remember."
"Go for it!"
After Bai Yunxi left, the old man called his personal bodyguards. After the arrangements were made, Bai Yunxi and others got on the bed arranged for them.
But now, there is only one person who has not come up yet, that is Jiang Qian.
"Yun Xi, will Jiang Qian stop leaving?"
Nalan Yutong asked anxiously!
"No, wait a minute!"
As a fortune teller, she believed that Jiang Qian had divined today's events. Therefore, Bai Yunxi did not think that she would go against God's will.
"But it's been half an hour, and I haven't seen her yet."
"Wait a little longer."
Bai Yunxi still said the same thing, then closed her eyes and sat there cross-legged.
The wood element here is very rich, which is very suitable for practice. Since no one was here, she started practicing.
When Nalan Yutong saw Bai Yunxi starting to practice, she stopped talking, closed her mouth and waited quietly.
