Chapter 52 Assassination?
"What about a wordless book?" Despite a flurry of thoughts flashing through his mind, Jiang Xingni maintained a light smile on his face.
She reached out her hand to He Jingtong.
He Jingtong pulled her up, and Jiang Xingni used the support to stand up.
"It's solved." Pei Zhaoye walked over with his tablet.
The boy tilted his head and gave Jiang Xingni an innocent smile: "You abandoned me back then and came out of the Ghost Realm all by yourself."
Even though everyone present knew that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Jiang Xingni, it didn't stop Pei Zhaoye from using this excuse to shift the blame onto Jiang Xingni and distort the truth.
Jiang Xingni: ?
Jiang Xing glanced at Pei Zhaoye with a look that seemed to say, "Are you sick?"
The gray-haired, purple-eyed boy's smile brightened even more. He reached out and hooked his fingertips around Jiang Xingni's palm.
Jiang Xingni, not understanding why, opened his palm in response to his movement.
Something cool and smooth fell into Jiang Xingni's palm through his open hand.
She looked down.
It was a single earring, set with a golden gemstone, just like Jiang Xingni's eye.
"It was delivered by me and Song Juexiao together." Pei Zhaoye was stared at by Jiang Xingni for a while, then looked away and saw Song Juexiao staring intently at him from the other side. Finally, he reluctantly spoke up.
Song Juexiao then laughed, poked Jiang Xingni's back from behind, and then, with a smile on his face, hugged Jiang Xingni's neck when Jiang Xingni turned around.
He then showed Jiang Xingni the text on his phone screen:
"I chose the golden gemstone, and Pei Zhaoye's idea was to give her a single earring."
"Tsk." This time she didn't type it out, but instead clicked her tongue lightly near Jiang Xingni's ear, then continued typing. "Someone is smuggling in their own agenda."
There were only two people behind this idea, either Song Juexiao or Pei Zhaoye, so there's no point in censoring "someone".
Jiang Xingni put away the gifts the two people had given her with a puzzled look: "Why...?"
She hadn't finished speaking, but Song Juexiao could already guess what she wanted to ask.
Just as the girl's fingertips were tapping on the phone screen, Pei Zhaoye spoke first.
"This is a gift for the new members joining the team," Pei Zhaoye said with a smile.
On the other side, He Jingtong was dealing with the remaining matters, but he was only listening to the conversation on the other side with one ear.
Then I heard Pei Zhaoye say, "A gift for the new team members."
He Jingtong: ?
When did the new members join the team?
When do I join the team and receive a gift?
How come I didn't know?
Noticing He Jingtong's expression, Song Juexiao turned his face and glared at He Jingtong without any expression.
The young man chuckled and rolled his eyes, but ultimately said nothing more.
Jiang Xingni gripped the single earring in her hand, pondered for a moment, and slowly asked, "How much later did I wake up than you all?"
It is known that after Song Juexiao woke up, in addition to dealing with the wordless book, he also had to take time to prepare a gift for her.
Jiang Xingni originally thought that he was only a few hours late at most, but looking at their current progress, Jiang Xingni felt that he was not only a few hours late, but had actually slept for several days.
She didn't notice Song Juexiao's subtle movements, but instead looked at the two people in front of her with a very serious expression.
"You still haven't answered my questions about the wordless book—" Jiang Xingni paused for a moment, then continued, "And, exactly how much later did I wake up than you?"
This question caused Song Juexiao and Pei Zhaoye to exchange glances for a moment before they finally spoke, "You woke up three days later than us."
Jiang Xingni felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and almost fainted again.
*
Xiao Jiming was the first to wake up.
From the moment the four of them were brought into the Ghost Realm, Pei Zhaoye and his group, who were originally the first to enter the Ghost Realm, were squeezed out.
After four battles—against the shadow puppeteer, against the placenta man, against the wordless book in reality, and finally against the illusion created by the wordless book in the ghost realm.
No matter how powerful the wordless book is, it's impossible for it to become stronger and more powerful after such a great depletion without being replenished.
When Xiao Jiming woke up, Pei Zhaoye was just fighting with the wordless book.
Even Pei Zhaoye was able to fight to a standstill using his physical skills and the wordless book.
After Xiao Jiming joined the battle, the entire situation became one-sided.
He Jingtong was the second to wake up. The moment he opened his eyes, there was still a hint of wariness in them. Only when he saw that the battle between Xiao Jiming and Wu Zishu was coming to an end did he realize where he was. He took a deep breath and finally let down his guard.
Then Xiao Jiming joined the final battle.
When Song Juexiao woke up, the wordless book had already been collected, and the whole incident began to come to an end.
Several young people busied themselves helping out, as they had always thought Jiang Xingni would wake up soon.
According to Song Juexiao, Jiang Xingni must have come to help Song Juexiao after resolving his own illusion.
As a result, after the group finished dealing with all the day's affairs, they discovered that Jiang Xingni showed no signs of waking up.
Now they were genuinely starting to panic.
It wasn't until the head nurse said that Jiang Xingni wasn't seriously injured and just needed some time that the group finally felt relieved.
So Song Juexiao was finally able to secretly prepare a gift for Jiang Xingni with Pei Zhaoye when He Jingtong and Xiao Jiming weren't paying attention.
—The golden gem was Song Juexiao's idea.
The deepest impression Jiang Xingni left on them was his eyes.
In the darkness, they seem to glow; upon closer inspection, their eyes appear to hold the entire universe within them—golden eyes.
So Song Juexiao resolutely chose a golden gemstone.
The earrings were Pei Zhaoye's idea.
He felt that Jiang Xingni's earlobes looked bare and lacked some ornaments, so he bought Jiang Xingni an earring.
unilateral.
When Song Juexiao learned of Pei Zhaoye's choice, the little girl silently glanced at Pei Zhaoye's face, which was also wearing a single earring.
"Ha." Song Juexiao sneered inwardly. Hiding his own agenda!
"Shall I put it on you?" Pei Zhaoye tilted his head and asked tentatively.
Jiang Xing nodded indifferently, then leaned closer.
Of course, she didn't have her ears pierced. Jiang Xingni didn't have the opportunity when she was young, and she had even less of an opportunity when she grew up.
"It's nothing." Pei Zhaoye smiled, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Xingni.
My fingertips didn't tremble for even a moment.
He noticed that Jiang Xingni didn't have pierced ears, so he bought clip-on earrings.
"Don't move..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xingni suddenly stepped forward, shielding Pei Zhaoye with her body without hesitation, and then casually drew the dagger from Pei Zhaoye's waist.
In an instant, he turned around, and the dagger collided with the long sword behind him.
