Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Pursuit
If it was just a matter of getting separated from family, with the advanced technology we have today, finding one’s parents shouldn’t be difficult.
It’s unlikely that there’d be no news at all.
Unless, Xia Xin’s background had issues from the start.
Jiangli suddenly recalled the flash of Spiritual Light from Xia Xin’s body when they were dealing with Wei Xue.
That Spiritual Light…
Jiangli found it very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, on someone.
But her memory was too hazy.
She couldn’t remember where she had seen it.
Even though she had recovered most of her memory now, there were still some crucial points and people she couldn’t recall.
She still had to find the Spiritual Bone first…
Xia Xin noticed Jiangli hadn’t spoken for a while, just as he was about to ask what Jiangli was thinking, the elevator conveniently stopped.
Jiangli was the first to step out.
Xia Xin followed, then heard Jiangli suddenly say, “Xia Xin, do me a favor and pay attention to something.”
Xia Xin instinctively asked, “What is it?”
Jiangli replied, “Keep an eye on Dangshan and Laoshan, see if anything unusual happens around there.”
Xia Xin couldn’t help but ask, “Why should we focus on Dangshan and Laoshan, ancestor?”
Jiangli’s expression remained calm, “Just keep an eye on it, and let me know right away if anything special happens.”
Just as Jiangli finished speaking, they arrived at her room door.
Seeing this, Xia Xin didn’t say more, “Alright, I’ll keep an eye out and inform you immediately if there’s anything.”
Jiangli nodded, took the room card Xia Xin handed her, opened the door, and went inside.
It was indeed getting late.
Xia Xin didn’t want to disturb Jiangli any further. He took his own room card and entered the neighboring room.
…
After Jiangli entered the room, she stumbled a bit and sat on the bed, her face slightly pale, appearing somewhat unwell.
However, in front of Xia Xin earlier, she hadn’t shown a hint of discomfort.
Once out of Xia Xin’s sight, she dared to let her Spiritual Energy and pain surge freely within her.
Jiangli collapsed onto the bed, grabbed the quilt beside her, and wrapped herself in it, as if this could suppress the pain rampaging inside.
Jiangli gritted her teeth, endured, and made not a single sound.
She didn’t even know when she had fallen asleep.
Only in her dreams did she vaguely see a figure and catch a familiar scent, like refreshing water vapor, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.
Jiangli’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, but the silhouette remained unclear.
In the dream, she chased after that shadowy figure, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t catch up.
It was unknown how long passed before a knocking sound suddenly pierced through Jiangli’s consciousness.
Jiangli abruptly awoke and sat up in bed, at that moment feeling bewildered and completely unaware of where she was.
Only after seeing the unfamiliar surroundings did she remember that she seemed to be in a hotel in J City.
“Ancestor, are you awake?”
While Jiangli was pondering, Xia Xin’s voice came from outside.
Jiangli frowned slightly, grabbed the phone on the bedside, and glanced at it, realizing it was already ten in the morning…
That night felt utterly surreal.
Even though she had slept an entire night, Jiangli still felt utterly exhausted, as if she hadn’t rested for several days.
She felt as though only a moment had passed, yet she had actually slept through the night.
Jiangli raised her hand to rub her throbbing forehead, then got out of bed.
Yesterday, she had fallen asleep suddenly, without changing her clothes, which had become somewhat wrinkled from sleep.
Jiangli couldn’t be bothered about that now. She walked over, opened the door, and saw Xia Xin standing outside.
Xia Xin, seeing the door open, was about to speak, but upon seeing Jiangli’s complexion, his brows furrowed with concern. “Ancestor, why do you look so pale?”
