After Chu Tiangran handed me the jade pendant, he pulled me into the living room and chatted with me for a while.

"It's getting late, Yinyin. We have a lot of time ahead of us, I'll be leaving first today. Mr Xia, sorry to bother you."

Xia Mingyuan nodded and extended a hand to lure him out.

Chu Xingran walked to the door, then turned around to look at me. He didn't say anything, and took out another book from his sleeve.

Yinyin acknowledged Mr. Xia as her teacher. Although it was fate, I still have to thank you for your protection. I have nothing to repay you for that.

Xia Mingyuan looked at the book in Ye Zichen's hand, and his gaze immediately went straight to the point. He wanted to reach out subconsciously, but suddenly stopped.

"Since she is already my disciple, it is my duty to protect her without the need to thank her for her help. Besides, there is no such thing as a" thank you "position for not being related to her by any means. "It's better for you to keep this book."

Chu Tiangran didn't take it back. He simply handed the book over and bent down to whisper to Xia Mingyuan, "Priest Xia, these words sound a little sour. You must have taken me for someone easy to deceive." After the fall of the Priest's manor, all the books will be kept by this emissary. It will not be easy for you to find them.

Xia Mingyuan raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Chu Tiangran. He knew that although this person was gentle and elegant in front of him, he was definitely an extraordinary person to be able to sit in the position of three envoys.

Chu Tiangran didn't take his hand back, but upon seeing his expression, he once again held out the book in front of him. It was as if he knew that this book was extremely important to Xia Mingyuan.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Xia Mingyuan will remember your kindness!"

I looked at the two of them as if they were on fire and felt that a dispute was about to break out in the next second. I was about to step forward and say something when I saw Xia Mingyuan take the book from Chu Weiran's hands and leave.

Chu Tiangran looked at his back and waved to me before turning away.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you still preparing dinner? "

I was stunned. I felt that Xia Mingyuan's tone was a bit angry, so I turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Not long after that, Su Biao and Shi An stood by my side, looking as if they wanted to talk but were unable to do so. After bringing all the dishes to the table, I called for Xia Mingyuan to come over to eat, only to find that he wasn't in his room, so I returned to the main hall and sat down to eat.

"Miss Su, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to worry."

Sioux was very happy to see me take the initiative and sit next to me with Shi An in her arms.

"I smell the scent of the underworld. Is it the Underworld's envoy?"

I looked up at Suchuan. She seemed to know Chu was happy, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles.

"Mm, Chu Tiangran came by earlier. He has already left. Miss Su, what's the matter?"

Suze shakes her head and reaches for my sleeve.

"Chu Tiangran came, but …" "Did you do anything?"

I didn't know what Suhara wanted to ask. I didn't know much about the Underworld, so I answered her honestly.

"He gave me the Twin Life Jade Pendant and a book to Xia Mingyuan. I reckon that he'll be leaving if he has anything else to do in the Underworld."

"He gave Little Yuan a book. Do you know what it was?"

I shook my head. I wasn't sure what Xia Mingyuan and Chu Weiran were talking about when they were talking by the door.

"I only know that it's a book. Chu Weiran said that it's some sort of ancient art. As for anything else, I really don't know."

"Ancient technique?" Are you sure? "

From Su Huaisha's expression, I can tell that this book is related to Xia Zhi Ang. It might be the book from the Priest Mansion, I nodded to show that it is indeed an ancient technique.

"Great, it's really an ancient technique. "I heard that after the Priest's Mansion was deserted, all the books were taken away by Pluto and kept by Pluto. Now it seems that it is true."

"Is this book important?"

Su Huaisha nodded happily, as if this book was something she hadn't done in many years.

"Yes, this is the first chapter of chapter 12 of the ancient scroll written by the lord priest." Yes, this is the first chapter of chapter 12 of the ancient scroll written by the master priest himself.

So it really was an item from Xia Zhi Ang. No wonder Xia Ming Yuan accepted it even though he rejected Chu Weiran. It seemed like this book was of great help to Xia Ming Yuan.

"Miss Su, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Shi An. I've already prepared his food and placed it in the kitchen. When Master comes back, tell him that I'm in my room reading a book."

Su Huaisha nodded and turned around to go to the kitchen to get food for Shi An. I cleaned up my dishes before returning to my room and prepared to read the books that Xia Mingyuan had given me.

Xia Mingyuan was right. Although these books appeared to be quite old, they were all about basic underworld matters as well as the five elements and other common magical principles.

After everything that has happened recently, I have some understanding of the underworld. Plus, he had already told me some information about the Five Elements of Life and Death, so it wasn't that hard to understand.

I carefully kept the first book and stretched my body to relax. Just as I was about to continue reading, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Xia Mingyuan opened the door and came in with my phone in his hand. His expression was a little strange.

I left it in the kitchen while I was cooking, and I forgot to bring it up when I came up to read.

"What's wrong, Master? Did something happen?"

Xia Mingyuan handed me his phone, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke up.

"Captain Long just called. There's another case, let's go help."

I nodded my head. So there was another case. Xia Mingyuan probably received a call from downstairs. No wonder his expression didn't look right.

"Then let's hurry up and go, don't make them wait."

I immediately stood up and prepared to leave with Xia Mingyuan, but who would've thought that he would suddenly stop at the door.

"Little Yin …" "You still haven't said where you came from?"

This question was asked randomly, and I couldn't react in time as I didn't know what he meant.

"Master, are you talking about my hometown?"

Xia Mingyuan nodded, his eyes eager to know the answer.

"Master, I'm just a little girl from a remote village. Our village is called Fucun, why are you asking this?"

When Xia Mingyuan heard my answer, he seemed a little shocked and hesitant. There was something very wrong with his expression, as if something had happened to me that was difficult to talk about.

When I thought of this possibility, I suddenly trembled and asked him with a trembling voice, "Master, is the place where the accident occurred in Fucun? Do you think the person who happened to you has anything to do with me?
