Wan Family’s Malicious Intent

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Big Brother, do you know who gifted us this jade pendant?" Luo Xiaoman kept a smiling face, hiding the heavy feeling in her heart. She pretended not to care what Luo Qingyi had said earlier because she didn't want him to worry. 

"I think it was the Wan family," said Luo Qingyi after giving it some thought. 

Luo Xiaoman lifted her eyebrows, a stern and cold emotion showing on her cute face.

The Wan family again?

Be it her mother was pregnant with a three-year-old stillbirth, or her eldest brother was weak and perennially ill, it was all caused by the Wan family. 

Just how much did they want to take over the Luo family?

"Big Brother, I'll take this jade pendant." Luo Xiaoman gratefully received the jade pendant and kept it away. 

"Yeah, you can keep it. Next time, as long as Xiaoman wants it and provided I've it, I'll give it to you." An immeasurable amount of mollycoddling was reflected in Luo Qingyi's eyes. Immediately following that, his eyes darkened.

Till now, his only regret was that he was not able to refine an elixir which enabled Luo Xiaoman to cultivate. 

If Luo Qinghen designed weaponries to protect Luo Xiaoman who was unable to cultivate, then Luo Qingyi refined elixirs to enable her to cultivate. 

"Xiaoman, don't worry, I'll definitely refine an elixir which will make it possible for you to cultivate," Luo Qingyi said passionately as he stroked her head.

Luo Xiaoman gave a diabolic laugh and spoke in a mysterious manner, "Big Brother, soon I'll bring you a surprise." 

"Oh?" Luo Qingyi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What's the surprise?"

"Hehe, if I tell you now, then it won't be a surprise anymore." Luo Xiaoman pouted and answered peevishly.

Luo Qingyi was a little stunned but laughed cheerfully right after that. "Okay then. But, I'll be anxiously waiting." 

"Right!" All of a sudden, he changed the topic to ask Xiaoman, "What are you going to do with the Celestial Fruit that you're searching for?"

"Don't ask me. It has something to do with the surprise." 

"..."

Seeing how Luo Xiaoman reacted so mysteriously, Luo Qingyi was itching to know the reason. On the other hand, knowing how stubborn the little kid was, if she was not willing to tell, then she would not tell for sure. 

After Luo Xiaoman sent Luo Qingyi away, she went back to her room to observe the jade pendant in her hand.

"Master, what's so special about this jade pendant?" asked Mo Yuan, frowning. "If you like it, Yuan can find you more jade pendants like this."

Luo Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Have you not noticed there's something wrong with this jade pendant?"

Mo Yuan stared deeply at the jade pendant. His heart gave a tremble, and he spoke in a deep tone, "This jade pendant has a weak devilish energy." 

"Hmm." Luo Xiaoman nodded with a cold glare in her eyes. "It's this jade pendant which is making my eldest brother weak."

As to why the Wan family gave away this jade pendant, Luo Xiaoman had a few guesses.

"Ring Spirit, do you have a way to dispel the devilish energy in my brother's body?" Luo Xiaoman thought in her mind as she put the pendant away.

"The devilish energy isn't easy to deal with. It was made specifically with the creator's natal breath. If we don't know how it's made, and we remove it in our own way, we may risk harming your brother," the Ring Spirit answered in a deep voice. 

"Do you mean I've to first find out who the creator is?"

"Yes."

Luo Xiaoman pondered for a moment. To find out who the creator was, she needed to get in touch with the people from the Wan family. 

However, she could not meet anyone from the Wan family just yet, so as to avoid alerting the enemy. 

"Yuan, let's go." Luo Xiaoman stood up. She smirked at Mo Yuan and said, "Let's go to the Wan family's casino."
