“She will die. The Heart of Time is now her source of life. It’s the Heart of Time that provides her with life force and helps her retain eternal youth. She will definitely die once she loses this power,” the little heart said solemnly.
The little heart’s words were like a sharp thorn that pierced Chi Jiao’s heart.
She looked at Lu Xian and couldn’t bear the thought of the little heart’s words being true.
“Could you be wrong? There might be another reason why Auntie managed to stay so young.” Chi Jiao didn’t want to believe that Lu Xian would die.
The little heart pondered for a moment before sighing. “Perhaps. But Master, I have to say that there’s a high possibility that my gut instinct is correct. Auntie’s current situation is exactly the same as someone who has the Heart of Time. She’s likely relying on the Heart of Time to survive.”
“If we take away the Heart of Time, is there any other way to save Auntie?” Chi Jiao asked.
The little heart was in a dilemma. It thought for a long time and said with uncertainty, “I don’t know. Perhaps, but I can’t guarantee it.”
“Is there any way to test if the Heart of Time is really in Auntie’s body?” Chi Jiao continued to ask.
She felt very uneasy and wanted to confirm it quickly.
“We will have to cut her open and see if she has the Heart of Time in her body. The four stones are made of very special materials. It’s impossible to detect them with instruments.” The little heart was very worried. “Master, this is a serious matter. What do you plan to do?”
“I don’t know, either. Pretend that you don’t know anything, and don’t tell Brother Quan about this. Let me think of a way first,” Chi Jiao instructed the little heart very seriously.
Chi Jiao didn’t dare to imagine how upset Brother Quan would be when he found out that Auntie wouldn’t be able to live.
She didn’t want to see him upset. She had to think of something.
The little heart was very obedient. Although it was anxious to get the final stone, it wouldn’t disobey Chi Jiao’s orders.
“By the way, can you still take out Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness without the fourth stone?” Chi Jiao thought of Xu Ye and wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
To be honest, Xu Ye was having a hard time because of Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness.
For Xu Ye, Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment. She Qi hadn’t done anything recently, but there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t soon target him again.
Although their men protected Xu Ye 24/7, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen.
When the little heart heard this question, it said pitifully, “I’m afraid not. The power of the Heart of Time is very strong. Without it, I can’t guarantee that I can completely remove the remnant consciousness.”
“Forget it, then. I’ll think of another way.” Chi Jiao didn’t want to take the risk.
Even if they couldn’t remove Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness, it wasn’t a direct threat to Xu Ye’s life for now.
If they forced things now, Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness might end up being completely destroyed. Xu Ye might also suffer a severe backlash.
Chi Jiao’s feelings for Bai Wanxi were very complicated now. She wasn’t willing to take the risk.
The little heart listened to her.
Lu Xian had no idea about the conversation between Chi Jiao and the little heart. She smiled and pulled Chi Jiao and Shen Xing into the cafe. The three of them stood in front of the window and chose their cakes. They then ordered coffee and milk tea and found a table by the window.
