LOVE OR DESTINY

Yu Hao and Jing Xuan went to the pavilion to conduct an investigation. Yu Hao was pessimistic that they would be able to find evidence or witnesses considering that the night was very chaotic and everyone fled.

Yu Hao noticed, even the weapons used were ordinary weapons, nothing special about them.

Jing Xuan wasn't willing to give up so easily. "With so many assassins that night, I can't believe there wasn't a clue left."

Xiao Tan continued to look after Lian Cheng all day. Jing Xin was to the point of dismay, let alone Xiao Tan not wanting to be evil. He could be exhausted if this continues. Jing Xin was forced to return empty-handed because the strange old man was nowhere at a time like this.

But he assured Xiao Tan that he would definitely find her tomorrow. Xiao Tan asked Jing Xin out, she wanted to be alone with Lian Cheng. Jing Xin hesitated to leave her alone, but Xiao Tan assured her that she was fine. Jing Xin left as well.

"Cheng Cheng, you promised me that you would protect me forever. Don't think you can deny it just because you're asleep. Is it because I told you before that I wanted to get out of here, that you got mad at me and didn't want to get up?"

"Then I promise you. As long as you realize, I won't leave. I'll stay with you, okay? Even if I leave, I will take you with me. I won't make you alone here and suffer."

"You're so handsome. I'll take you back and make you a big celebrity. I'm gonna make you a money tree, okay? Cheng Cheng, there are still many things I want to tell you. You can't leave like this."

But what he did not suspect, Grandfather Liu instead refused to save Lian Cheng and dragged Xiao Tan a bit away because he intended to break the blood contract between Lian Cheng and Xiao Tan before Lian Cheng died and Xiao Tan would not die with him.

Xiao Tan suddenly frantically withdrew his hand and insisted on asking Grandpa Liu to save Lian Cheng just like how he had saved her back then. Grandfather Liu insisted unwillingly, he was only willing to save Xiao Tan. Why would he save Lian Cheng?

Xiao Tan was astonished, why did Grandpa Liu care so much about his safety?... Oho! Xiao Tan knew, so he was useful to Grandpa Liu. That's why he can't die, right? Grandfather Liu was instantly awkward which clearly confirmed Xiao Tan's conjecture.

Xiao Tan immediately used himself to threaten Grandpa Liu. He picked up the scissors and put it on his neck. If Lian Cheng dies, then he too will die, maybe he will die first.

"I'm telling you! Even if you break the contract for life, if you don't save him and Cheng Cheng dies, I'll think of ways to kill myself! Think carefully!"

Grandpa Liu is so upset, it's so troublesome! But he finally gave up and then began to channel his spiritual power to Lian Cheng.

But after he finished, Grandpa Liu was astonished instead because he found the Energy Qi and blood flow in Lian Cheng's body felt very strange. He needed more spiritual energy than ordinary humans to survive.
