Chapter 886: Chapter 886 Don’t Leave My Sight_1

Tongsan Lang woke up, and Qiao Xiaomai told him about the Qiao Family’s situation.

Listening, Tongsan Lang frowned intensely, “You are too daring.”

“It’s okay.” Qiao Xiaomai wriggled her hand free from his larger one and grasped his hand instead, whispering, “I’ve calmed down and thought it through carefully, they won’t want my life.”

“Those who have a grudge against me are just Cen Hongping and Sun Junyan, and if something were to happen to me, they would be the prime suspects. You would surely kill them without any thought for reason. Yang Ye would also investigate the matter.”

“They wouldn’t be stupid enough to risk their lives for mine.”

“Besides, isn’t Yang Wang harboring relentless desires for me? Seeing how good I am at making money, he would certainly be reluctant to kill me.”

Tongsan Lang listened to Qiao Xiaomai’s analysis with a stern face, and after she finished, his brow didn’t relax as he said, “From now on, you are not to leave the range of my sight.”

“Hey, I’m not exactly helpless,” Qiao Xiaomai said and squeezed his hand gently.

Tongsan Lang’s brows furrowed even more fiercely, a mere teenager who managed to wrinkle his brow as severely as Qiao Changshun’s bark-like wrinkles, “Being strong does not mean you can block a master martial artist’s attack.”

The masters here are not like those from future generations; these masters possess inner strength.

When applied to their techniques, they can be incredibly quick.

While a strong force can defeat many weaker ones, in the martial world, nothing prevails over speed.

Qiao Xiaomai could take on a dozen unskilled opponents, but if she were to encounter someone skilled in light-footed movement and inner strength, she would be unable to hold her own.

“Alright, alright, I won’t leave the range of your sight,” Qiao Xiaomai pondered and nodded in agreement.

She didn’t want to worry him and also wanted to take precautions just in case.

Having already died once, she valued her life very much.

“I think you should just sleep soundly at night from now on,” Tongsan Lang added.

He would sleep for two days after doing it once, which was too much of a hindrance to battle readiness.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows and retrieved the Water Drop Pendant from her space, “It’s indeed gotten smaller.”

This time, she could see the pendant had shrunk with her own eyes.

The white spot in the water pool had also expanded.

Tongsan Lang looked at the noticeably smaller pendant in her palm and pursed his lips, “We’ll see how it goes.”

“Actually, there’s no need to be nervous. Uncle Fan said that the big pit by our house has been there for at least a month,” Qiao Xiaomai said as she put the Water Drop Pendant back into her space.

A month–if anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now.

“Let’s just wait and see for the next few days,” Tongsan Lang remained noncommittal.

Nothing was more important than Qiao Xiaomai’s safety.

Da’an Palace.

Today was overcast, with cold winds roaring incessantly, and by noon, snowflakes began to drift from the sky.

The snowflakes were very small, but the chill penetrated through the tiger-skin coats with the wind, boring into the flesh.

Yang Wenxiao had ridden a tricycle around outside and hurried back to the main hall.

The palace’s main hall was warmed by underfloor heating, and as he entered, a warm wave of air enveloped him, dispelling the deep chill that clung to him.

At this moment, a palace maid approached with hot tea. Yang Wenxiao took it, sipped lightly, and seeing a little eunuch passing a message to Gao Lian, he asked, “What’s happening?”

“Fan Linong has sent a message,” Gao Lian said as he handed over the letter the little eunuch gave him to Yang Wenxiao.

Yang Wenxiao took the letter, skimmed through it, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, “Send fifty more people to Qiao Xiaomai’s place.”

Yes, Qiao Xiaomai must not come to harm.

In terms of her ability to amass wealth, she was virtually unparalleled in the world.

If he couldn’t find that treasure before his time was up, he would indeed use Yu Ang’s fortune to replenish the National Treasury.
