131: The Lost Black Pearls

The Lost Black Pearls

The blackish color on the metal gradually faded, revealing its original green color. Its shape had also changed. As the pattern leaked out, Xia Muqing could tell that this metal was a token.0

In the middle of the token was a huge 'M'. The surrounding patterns were a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

Xia Muqing flipped it over and found the two missing pearls on the back of the token. They were placed on the top and bottom of the token.

She tried to hook the pearl with her finger but to no avail. The two pearls seemed to be embedded in it, and they fit perfectly.

Seeing these two pearls, she remembered where she had seen the patterns on the token before. Wasn't it a bigger version of the patterns on these pearls?

She took out the jade pendant hanging from her neck and placed it beside the token. At first glance, the pattern was the same, but after careful observation, there were still some differences.

The pattern on the token was more domineering, but the pattern on the jade pendant had thinner strokes, just like the difference between a man and a woman.

Xia Muqing was engrossed with the object in her hand, and she forgot about Gungun who was still in the water.

Gungun touched its stomach and then the water in the basin, which had turned cold, and it cried out.

Only then did Xia Muqing snap back to reality. Looking at Gungun's pitiful expression, she suddenly said guiltily, "I'll wipe you immediately."

She quickly took a handkerchief and wrapped Gungun, who had already been washed clean.

She temporarily put the token aside and wanted to take off the jade pendant around her neck. Thinking of what Ye Qingxuan had told her previously, she subconsciously put down her hand and allowed the heavy jade pendant to hang around her neck.

Xia Muqing brought Gungun to the courtyard. The grill was still there, and it looked exactly the same as before they left. The Xia family probably hadn't touched the courtyard either.

Or rather, they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.

Xia Muqing looked around the courtyard. There were many small holes in the seemingly ordinary ground. As soon as someone approached, they would spray out poisonous arrows and poisons. She had specially left this mechanism behind before she left.

Gungun darted towards the pond quickly, and its two front paws darted around in the water. Xia Muqing had already sat behind the grill and started a fire. Gungun would settle the ingredients. She was only in charge of the grill, and their tasks were very clear.

Before long, Gungun ran over with a long silk carp. It cleverly tied the fish with a piece of rope and then bit the end of the rope with its mouth, easily bringing the fish to the grill.

When Xia Muqing was cleaning the fish, she suddenly thought of the black eagle. It also liked to eat grilled fish. Or rather, it liked everything that was roasted. Although she initially thought that it was always causing trouble, she still wasn't used to being separated from it so suddenly.

Gungun patted her hand. "Master, look there."

Xia Muqing looked in the direction it was pointing. The black eagle with black gauze covering its eyes was on Jiang Yifan's back. Jiang Yifan struggled to climb up the wall. He sat on the wall and waved at Xia Muqing with a grin. His face was obviously dirty, but his smile was bright.

Xia Muqing snorted and said, "You guys came at the right time."

She helped to carry the black eagle. Without the burden on his back, it was much easier for Jiang Yifan to jump off the wall alone.

When the black eagle caught a whiff of the grilled fish, it let out a happy cry and ran towards the grill. It was too familiar with this place and Xia Muqing wasn't worried that something would happen to it.

When Gungun saw the black eagle charging at it, it immediately moved away. However, it didn't manage to dodge. Its freshly washed body was dyed black by the dust that flew up when the black eagle had rushed towards it.
