Bai Wanxi couldn’t hide her smile. She was happy that she could help Chi Jiao earlier. She nodded eagerly. “Alright, see you tomorrow.”
Chi Jiao and Pei Yao bade farewell to the others before leaving together.
Pei Yao steered the motorcycle with Chi Jiao. The night breeze blew past them as she asked loudly, “Jiaojiao, why didn’t you let Officer Huo send you home?”
“Brother Quan doesn’t like it. He rejected other girls for me. I have to give him a sense of security,” Chi Jiao said matter-of-factly.
Pei Yao’s lips twitched. “But it’s good that you’re like this. I think Officer Huo does care a little too much about you. Let’s not talk about this. What’s wrong with Bai Wanxi? I haven’t been here previously. I heard from Tingting that Bai Wanxi has been occupying Xu Ye’s body for a while. It’s not a good sign.”
“I know. Little heart, can you wake Xu Ye up? If he doesn’t regain control of his body, I’m worried that something will happen.” Chi Jiao frowned worriedly.
Bai Wanxi had been occupying Xu Ye’s body ever since he was kidnapped.
After all, this body belonged to Xu Ye. Chi Jiao didn’t want anything to happen to him because of Bai Wanxi.
“There is a way, but after waking Xu Ye up, Bai Wanxi will be in deep sleep for a period of time. Master, although what She Qi said was a little exaggerated, it’s still reasonable. Brother Xu Ye’s body can last for only a few more months. We have to think of a way to obtain the Heart of Time as soon as possible,” the little heart said in a childish voice.
“That’s easy to say. We haven’t found the Heart of Time yet, right?” Pei Yao and the rest only knew about the Heart of Time, but they didn’t know that it was in Lu Xian’s body.
Chi Jiao let out a long sigh and said awkwardly, “Actually, we’ve already found it. It’s just that for some special reasons, the Heart of Time can’t be taken out yet. Once it’s taken out, something will happen to the person bearing it.”
“In other words, you’ve already found the bearer of the Heart of Time?” Chi Jiao grunted in reply. Pei Yao was instantly interested. She asked excitedly, “Who is it? Who is it?!”
“It’s Auntie Lu Xian, Brother Quan’s mother,” Chi Jiao said faintly.
The originally-excited Pei Yao seemed to be stunned. She widened her eyes and suddenly braked. “What?? Jiaojiao, are you kidding me?”
Chi Jiao bumped into her back. Her nose made contact with Pei Yao’s back and it instantly ached, causing her to gasp. “Sister Pei Yao, what are you doing?”
“How could it be Auntie? Does Mr. Quan know about this?” Pei Yao asked in surprise.
“He does. According to Ye Yichen, all those who had the Heart of Time forcibly dug out will die on the spot. I really don’t dare to play around with Auntie’s life.”
Pei Yao thought for a moment and muttered, “This thing is indeed a good treasure. It’s always being snatched away by others. However, I wonder if the bearer is willing to give up the Heart of Time, will she not have to die then? Will a person who is willing to sacrifice herself be spared?”
Pei Yao’s casual words instantly piqued Chi Jiao’s interest.
