1329: The Story Behind the Stone

The Story Behind the Stone

Yun Jian did not regard Lin Shuya but went to a girl from another class whom she did not know at all and picked up the stone the girl wore on her neck to question her about it.0

Lin Shuya thought that Yun Jian was purposely embarrassing her in public, assumed that she had intentionally ignored her, or that she wanted to attract attention in the cafeteria.

Teenage girls loved showing how they were different from other girls to attract attention from boys and Lin Shuya thought that this was Yun Jian's goal, so she stood rooted and scoffed at Yun Jian in front of everyone in the cafeteria, "Hah, trying to look cool? Stop putting up an act. I purposely dropped your bag in class, what about it? Are you acting like you're so cool again now?"

What Lin Shuya said redirected the students' gazes to Yun Jian but the latter was unfazed. Her deep and beautiful eyes were trained on the girl who was eating at the cafeteria table.

The girl had chills from being stared at by Yun Jian as she quickly caught the red thread that Yun Jian had grabbed in her hand. Said red thread was threaded through the white stone and was tied around the girl's neck.

The girl wanted to pull the thread back but the thread remained unmoved despite her tugging it twice. Yun Jian had no intention of giving the white stone back to the girl at all.

On the contrary, she ignored Lin Shuya who was insulting her from the back and kept her eyes on the white stone before she repeated herself in a raised voice, "Where did you get this stone?!"

It was less a question and more an interrogation.

Yun Jian had never shown such an emotion to outsiders before but she had slightly lost her composure seeing this white stone today.

The reason was simple. This was an ordinary stone but the front of it had two vague letters etched on it that one could not even distinguish what letters they were if they did not look carefully—MY. The back of the white stone had two equally worn off letters as well—SG.

Needless to say, SG stood for Slaying God, Yun Jian herself. As for MY, Yun Jian did not know what it meant in Chinese but she knew that these two letters represented the little girl she had gotten to know in An Hun Group when she was younger—the girl who had hugged her every night comforting her not to be scared and telling her that they would be okay and go home in that brutal assassin organization.

The girl did not end up going home. Her limbs were cut off and her heart was dug out alive by the other girls in the organization because of Yun Jian; her body was thrown to feed the dogs ultimately too. The person who should have been dead was Yun Jian.

Yun Jian did not know what the girl's name was but she knew that the girl was MY and she was SG. Perhaps the white stone was nothing to others but this stone was the one that Yun Jian and the little girl had carved the letters on using sharp rocks back when they were in the assassin organization.

The little girl said that they would find their way home one day with the stone. She died ultimately and the stone disappeared but Yun Jian had never forgotten her promise with the girl.

It was not that Yun Jian had not looked for the white stone but she was unable to find it no matter what. It was thus a surprise to see the stone here! That was why she lost her cool.
