The old woman looked at Chi Jiao with a troubled expression. “She should be fine…”
“Don’t patronize me. I agreed to let you leave because I wanted to get information about the Heart of Time. If you can’t give me the answer I want, you’d better stay on with us,” Chi Jiao said coldly as she narrowed her eyes.
“Anyway, if you take out the Heart of Time by force, the person with the Heart of Time will instantly age and have her life force taken away. She will die instantly. Green Demon only told me that if the person with the Heart of Time is willing to give it to you, her body will return to normal. But I don’t know what exactly he meant by normal.” The old woman struggled hard as she spoke. “It’s not that I’m lying. At least, you have a 50-50% chance!”
“Nonsense. We learned nothing new from what you said.” Beitang Lie alighted from the car and pointed at the old woman’s nose aggressively.
They had heard from Ye Yichen that if they took out the Heart of Time by force, the person would die on the spot.
They had also surmised that as long as Lu Xian was willing to give up the Heart of Time, she might not die immediately. However, no one could guarantee that she would remain in her current state or return to the state she was in 20 years ago.
If it was the latter, Lu Xian would be on the verge of death and would not be able to hold on for long.
In that case, whether they took out the Heart of Time by force or Lu Xian willingly gave it to them, she would still die in the end. It was just a matter of time!
The old woman was vague about the most important point. She had offered nothing new or of value!
The old woman was a little afraid when she saw Chi Jiao’s cold expression. “At that time, I forced Green Demon to tell me this information. He was scared out of his wits by me and stammered. He even asked me to promise him not to tell anyone else… If you have the ability, you can capture Green Demon and interrogate him. Why make things difficult for an old woman like me?!”
Seeing that the old woman still had the cheek to talk nonsense here, Chi Jiao was so angry that she laughed instead. She said unhurriedly, “Although it’s only a little information, it does let me know more about the Heart of Time. Per our agreement, I’ll let you go.”
Shen Xing frowned at Chi Jiao, wanting to stop her.
To Shen Xing’s surprise, Chi Jiao shook her head quietly, indicating for it to calm down.
Shen Xing didn’t know what Chi Jiao intended, but it fell silent and didn’t probe further.
As she spoke, Chi Jiao let go of the old woman.
The mental power around the old woman immediately disappeared. She was delighted and ran straight into the forest without looking back. As she left, she shouted loudly, “Chi Jiao, just you wait. This isn’t over. I’ll come back for revenge sooner or later. Just you wait!”
“This old fart…!” Shen Xing’s face darkened. Just as it was about to chase after her, it was stopped by Chi Jiao.
This time, Shen Xing completely exploded. It shook off Chi Jiao’s hand and questioned angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you always stopping me?!”
