Chapter 405: That Girl from Back Then?_1

Deception!

Yin Tian instantly realized that the girl was deceiving him!

She definitely didn’t have any other companions; she said so only to make him worry about the safety of Su Qinwei and the others so that he would let her go!

"Aren’t you worried about your several fiancées?"

Seeing that Yin Tian took her words for truth, the girl immediately continued, "You should think carefully. If they are captured, you might never see them again."

"First of all, you’ve been tracking me and setting up Feng Shui formations, which are meant to target me. This shows that you’re interested in me,"

Yin Tian stood there and began to speak deliberately, "So, if your people could kidnap my fiancées, why wouldn’t they use them to blackmail me instead of making me never see them again?"

The girl was at a loss for words.

Her eyes darted around, then she said, "What if I spoke wrongly?"

"Enough, stop talking nonsense."

Yin Tian smiled and looked at the girl, "You don’t have any companions at all, or perhaps, you came here by yourself, in secret, without anyone knowing, right?"

"You... you’re talking nonsense!"

Watching the girl who was somewhat panicking in front of him, Yin Tian slightly shook his head.

This girl was too innocent, naive about the ways of the world, she didn’t even know how to lie!

Anyone who understood human relationships could easily see through her disguise!

But soon, Yin Tian’s expression became serious again, "Speak clearly, and I’ll let you go."

Even though the girl was innocent, she was still greatly related to the Heretic Feng Shui Master, and he needed to learn some information from her.

"What do you want me to say? I don’t know anything!"

The girl defiantly yelled with her neck stiff.

"Then don’t blame me."

Yin Tian let go of his hands, but at the same time, he grabbed the girl’s shoulder and pants.

With a flex of his arms, he had already lifted the girl up.

"What... what are you doing!"

The girl’s voice was trembling, not faked, but born from genuine fear.

"Just like this."

As Yin Tian spoke, he started to swing his arms, and the girl’s body was like a stick being spun around fiercely by Yin Tian.

The girl’s screams were incessant.

She screamed and cursed, finally pleading pitifully with Yin Tian for mercy.

Yet Yin Tian was unmoved, keeping her body in continuous fast motion.

Just then.

Suddenly, an object flew out of the girl’s pocket and fell onto the lawn.

Yin Tian, with sharp eyes, instantly noticed the object.

While he was still moving the girl’s body, his gaze swept over.

At a glance, Yin Tian’s body momentarily stiffened.

It was a Jade Pendant.

A phoenix-shaped Jade Pendant!

Yin Tian stopped swinging his arms and placed the girl down, then he walked towards the lawn.

The girl, dizzy from being spun around, barely stood still, and saw that Yin Tian didn’t bother with her at all, instead he walked towards the lawn.

She glared at Yin Tian angrily and then turned to stagger away into the distance.

Yin Tian arrived at the edge of the lawn, bent down, and picked up the Jade Pendant.

The quality of the jade was excellent, cool to the touch, feeling like mutton fat, and flawless throughout—a piece of top-grade jade.

Yin Tian reached into his pocket and actually pulled out a dragon-shaped Jade Pendant!

He held both Jade Pendants in front of him, observing them carefully.

The two Jade Pendants seemed extremely similar, apart from their different shapes, they almost appeared to be carved from the same piece of jade!

Yin Tian stared blankly at the Jade Pendants in front of him, lost in thought.

His mind involuntarily drifted back to over a decade ago.

He was eight that year, and after sneaking into the water late at night, he suddenly heard sounds outside the door.

He tiptoed to the door and saw his master welcoming a person clad in a black cloak into his master’s room.

Curious, he sneakily followed, only to see his master talking with that person about something.

When he tried to get a closer look, he was discovered by a little girl with braided pigtails, who cried out.

Little Yin Tian was caught, and his master dragged him by the ear into the room.

After scolding him, the master pointed at the little girl standing next to the person and asked him if he wanted a wife.

Little Yin Tian shook his head, saying he didn’t, but the little girl thrust a Jade Pendant straight into his hand.

On seeing this, both the master and that person began to laugh.

Then the person took a few drops of Little Yin Tian’s blood and left the place with the little girl.

After that, for a long time, Little Yin Tian lived with the fear of soon having to take a wife.

It had been a long time since Little Yin Tian had forgotten about that incident, only carrying the Jade Pendant with him all along, never expecting to see another Jade Pendant today!

"It can’t be such a coincidence..."

Yin Tian muttered, holding the two Jade Pendants in his hand.

"Could she be..."

"The little pigtailed girl from back then?"
