Chapter 11: The Third Five-Emperor Coin

Chapter 11

Jian Xi got up and went to He Qingchen, wanting to take the Five Emperors' coins from around his neck.

He Qingchen held her hand. "No need. I'll get someone to take care of this little thing later, sister."

Jian Xi understood. Her brother knew who did it. She retracted her hand and sat back down across from him. "Okay."

Soon, the lobby manager knocked on the door of their private room and started bringing food.

The table was filled with all her favorite dishes. Jian Xi's eyes lit up. "Wow! Brother, you actually still remember my tastes!"

While putting food on her plate, He Qingchen chuckled, "How could I dare forget the tastes of my little princess? Eat up and see if you like the flavors."

Jian Xi picked up her chopsticks and started eating the dishes He Qingchen had put on her plate, her cheeks stuffed full.

Seeing her eat happily, He Qingchen smiled. He wasn't hungry, so he only took a few bites before putting his chopsticks down, content to just watch her eat.

Leaning back, He Qingchen rubbed the Five Emperors' coin around his neck, recalling how she was willing to use this little trinket over such a trivial matter. He couldn't help but smirk.

This Five Emperors' coin was given to him by Jian Xi the night before he left the mountain. He knew this was one of the three Five Emperors' coins she had used since learning divination.

Giving this to him, he knew what it signified.

These three Five Emperors' coins were no ordinary coins. They were one of her magic artifacts. She usually only used one or two of them, rarely needing all three unless something big was happening!

When all three coins were cast together, she would enter another state—the opening of her heavenly eye, as Xuan Yi Daoist had said!

It was as Xuan Yi Daoist said, she was born to master mysticism, and even when she didn't want to learn it, the Dao forced it upon her. Now, it seemed like only she could open the heavenly eye in the whole mysticism world!

Jian Xi pouted. He was just teasing her, clearly knowing she couldn't divine anything about him. Even using her heavenly eye, she still couldn't see anything!

Unwilling to admit defeat, she huffed, "Hmph, it's because your fortune is too strong, protected by the Heavenly Dao! I can't divine you!"

He Qingchen just smiled. "I've been doing very well, don't worry. Grandfather did encounter some matters. You can help take a look when the time comes."

Jian Xi nodded. "Then let's not go to the mall first. Let's go see Grandfather directly." Every year when Grandfather visited the temple, he would bring her lots of tasty treats and gifts, treating her very well. He had even said several times he wanted to adopt her as his granddaughter!

Thinking of Grandfather's kind face, she couldn't sit still, wanting to go cure Grandfather right away.

He Qingchen soothed her, "No rush. I still need to arrange some things first."

In fact, from the moment she appeared, he had guessed that the person Xuan Yi Daoist said could resolve his grandfather's tribulation must be Jian Xi!

Glancing at him, Jian Xi didn't say anything more.

Soon, they arrived at the mall. He Qingchen led Jian Xi out of the car.

As soon as they got out, a whole convoy of cars behind them also stopped. Over ten men dressed uniformly in black suits and black earpieces stepped out, a conspicuous bulge visible at their waists.

Jian Xi only glanced at them before withdrawing her gaze, already guessing in her heart.

Seeing her look at the bodyguards behind them, He Qingchen gripped her hand tighter. "Let's go."

"Okay." Jian Xi responded and let him lead her into the mall.

Although it was her first time at such a big mall, Jian Xi's mind was not on shopping at all. Brother was already so skilled, easily handling ten men alone. Even Eldest Apprentice Brother and Fifth Apprentice Sister specialized in martial arts yet weren't his match. And now he had to bring so many professional bodyguards when going out, all armed at the waist...

Sigh, just what kind of days had her brother been living these past few years!
