Chi Jiao had never heard the little heart mention this before.
She took a deep breath and asked the little heart via her mind, “Why didn’t you tell me such an important piece of information before?”
The little heart answered innocently, “You didn’t ask me!”
Its matter-of-fact tone made Chi Jiao speechless.
Looking at the little heart’s self-righteous manner, Chi Jiao couldn’t really get mad at it. “Fine. So as long as we gather all the stones, you will be able to recover your lost memories?”
“I guess so…” The little heart said without much confidence.
Chi Jiao was worried. “What do you mean by you ‘guess so’? Give me a firm answer.”
The little heart said aggrievedly, “I don’t know, either. I don’t remember many things. My four parts have been separated for many years. I don’t even remember what I used to look like, so I can’t be sure. If I give a firm answer and I turn out to be wrong, you will definitely be angry.”
The little heart was right. If it failed to regain its memories after Chi Jiao put in all that effort to collect the remaining two stones, she would definitely be angry.
“Are you sure the third stone is on this mountain?” Chi Jiao asked.
“I can feel its aura now. However, I can only be more specific after we climb the mountain. Master, we… no, you must ascend the mountain!” The little heart said impatiently.
Chi Jiao was indeed tempted.
Now, the little heart could generate some energy for her to absorb every day. It was all thanks to the little heart’s help that she could recover her exhausted mental strength in just one night.
The little heart’s strength was closely related to those lost stones. Therefore, its power would increase even more if they found the third stone. This was a great thing for her.
Chi Jiao was tempted. Gazing at the pathway up the mountain, she felt an urge to follow it.
Unfortunately, before Chi Jiao could walk over, Xing Yue’s voice came from behind.
“Chi Jiao, everyone is about to set up their tents. Where are you going?”
Chi Jiao had no choice but to stop. She turned around and looked at Xing Yue innocently. “Teacher, I want to go to the washroom, but I can’t find a place.”
“The washrooms are at the back. Come, I’ll bring you there.” Xing Yue led her toward the washroom area.
When the little heart saw that Chi Jiao was no longer heading in the direction of the mountain, it shouted, “Master, you agreed to go up the mountain!”
“It will raise suspicion if I go alone now. Don’t be anxious. I’ll bring you up the mountain secretly tonight. Bear with it for now.” Chi Jiao communicated with the little heart through her mind.
Hearing the little heart’s aggrieved sighs, Chi Jiao also felt very helpless.
Actually, she was even more anxious than the little heart. It was just that she had no choice now. If anyone discovered anything amiss, they might suspect her identity.
Although some people from the top echelons of society already knew her identity, she didn’t want to expose herself to her teachers and classmates in school.
Helpless, Chi Jiao could only pretend to be obedient. After following Xing Yue to the washroom, she joined her friends to form teams of two.
It was arranged that Dang Nan would share a tent with Bai Weiyu, while Chi Jiao paired with Yi Lanlan.
