Qin Yulu gave a bitter smile and said, "Does it feel mysterious? Unbelievable? Incomprehensible? Or perhaps, a bit like a hackneyed plot from a TV show?"

"Yes!" Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian said almost in unison.

Helplessly, Qin Yulu said, "That's what I think too, but what's the use? What I find strange is, why haven't they come yet?"

Hearing Qin Yulu's words, everyone present was taken aback, then fell silent. Yes, why hadn't Qin Yulu's parents arrived yet? Where on earth had they gone?

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Song Jiaqian immediately said to Qin Yulu, "It must be your parents."

So Song Jiaqian quickly ran to the door. Clearly, she had intended to meet Qin Yulu's parents.

However, when Song Jiaqian got to the door and opened it, she found Lu Sen standing there instead.

"Miss Qin's parents didn't come?" Song Jiaqian asked, puzzled.

Lu Sen shook his head, holding a fabric bag, and said, "Some brothers down there just saw Miss Qin's parents. They said this was for Miss Qin, and then they left."

"They left again?" Song Jiaqian was baffled after hearing what Lu Sen said. How could they have left again?

Song Jiaqian took the small fabric bag nevertheless. The bag wasn't new and seemed to contain something wrapped inside.

At that moment, Ye Xiao also came over and stepped out of the ward.

Song Jiaqian took the fabric bag over to Qin Yulu's bedside.

"You said they left again?" Ye Xiao asked Lu Sen, looking puzzled.

Lu Sen nodded and said, "Yes, they've left again."

"Can they still be found? Probably not." Lu Sen also seemed helpless. With so many people in the hospital, they could easily blend into the crowd and likely had already left the premises.

Ye Xiao wondered what the couple Qin Erzhu meant by their actions. Why had they disappeared after revealing Qin Yulu's origins? What was the reason? Could they be hiding from something?

"Forget it, send someone to protect Miss Qin here," Ye Xiao said to Lu Sen.

Lu Sen nodded immediately and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao."

Ye Xiao then quickly returned to the room. When he got back, Qin Yulu was holding a letter that she was reading, her eyes growing redder and tears flowing unknowingly down her cheeks.

"What happened?" Ye Xiao asked Song Jiaqian.

Song Jiaqian moved closer to Ye Xiao and whispered, "This must be a letter her parents left for her. I don't know what it says, but Miss Qin seemed very upset from the start."

Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu and said nothing, just watching her read the letter.

Soon, Qin Yulu put down the letter and turned her head toward the window. However, Ye Xiao saw that her tears were streaming down profusely.

Ye Xiao sat beside Qin Yulu's bed and said, "Lu Lu, if you want to cry, just let it out."

Qin Yulu's bottled-up emotions seemed to be released all at once as she immediately hugged Ye Xiao and began to sob uncontrollably, not complaining, just crying in a heartbreaking manner.

Listening to Qin Yulu's crying, Ye Xiao felt sad as well. After all, she was bearing so much at the moment. If her parents weren't her biological parents, it meant she was an orphan. If she had adoptive parents, perhaps she'd have someone to rely on, but what about now?

"They left?" Ye Xiao asked tentatively.

Qin Yulu nodded, "They left, they won't come back, they've abandoned me!"

Qin Yulu cried even more sorrowfully. After over a decade together, she always considered them her real parents. But now they had left, and the words in the letter were particularly heartless, which Qin Yulu couldn't understand at all.

About ten minutes later, Qin Yulu slowly lay back down on the bed. Ye Xiao reached out to take the letter, but just then, Qin Yulu grabbed it tightly in her hand and tore it to shreds.

Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised.

At that moment, Qin Yulu said, "There should be a jade pendant inside the fabric bag."

Hearing Qin Yulu's words, Song Jiaqian quickly opened the bag. Indeed, there was a very exquisite jade pendant inside, which felt intensely cold.

Ye Xiao took the pendant in his hand and examined it carefully.

"What a refined and ancient pendant. This pendant is at least three hundred years old, and it seems to be carved from very rare Cold Jade," Ye Xiao said seriously as he examined the delicate ancient pendant.

"Cold Jade?" Song Jiaqian hadn't heard of this gemstone, but she remarked, "No wonder it feels so cool in hand. It'd definitely be refreshing in summer."

"Cold?" Ye Xiao suddenly noticed a tiny Turtle Beast Language character on the pendant.

It was the character for "cold."

To the average person, even if they could see the text clearly, they might not recognize the character.

"What cold?" Song Jiaqian stood up and looked at the pendant in Ye Xiao's hand. With good eyesight, she saw the character that Ye Xiao mentioned. But not recognizing Turtle Beast Language, she scoffed and said, "What cold? That's clearly just a pattern."

A pattern?

Listening to Song Jiaqian's words, Ye Xiao just smiled slightly and didn't argue.

If she said it was a pattern, then let it be a pattern.

However, what did the character "cold" mean? Was it possible? No, it couldn't be!

Ye Xiao thought of this and couldn't help but look towards Qin Yulu, who was also looking at the jade pendant at that moment.

"Here, take it!" Ye Xiao handed the jade pendant to Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu took the pendant, immediately furrowed her brows, and said, "It's so cold, like a piece of ice."

"It's Cold Jade, of course it's cold, but the chill from this Cold Jade won't harm the body!" Ye Xiao said. "Moreover, it has the benefit of nourishing the body."

Song Jiaqian immediately looked at Qin Yulu and said, "How come you seem to know so much about it?"

"What do you mean seem? I do know a lot, okay?" Ye Xiao gave Song Jiaqian a withering glance.

"You dare to give me that look?" Song Jiaqian immediately glared.

Ye Xiao quickly said, "My eyes are a bit itchy, so I just flipped my eyelids a bit. You're overthinking it."

"Really?" Song Jiaqian looked skeptical!

Ye Xiao gave a heh and a chuckle, of course.

"The letter says that this jade pendant is the only clue to my origins!" Qin Yulu looked at Ye Xiao.

"Oh? The owner of such a pendant must belong to a very wealthy and prestigious family. It seems you're also a lost gem from a noble lineage," Ye Xiao told Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu sighed and said, "I don't want to see those people."

"But they are your family!" Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu.

Qin Yulu shook her head and said, "They are my enemies!"

Hearing Qin Yulu's words, Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian exchanged glances, noting the great change in Qin Yulu's sentiments.

Because of Qin Yulu's emotional instability, and because the Third Academy might not be able to provide adequate care, and further, Qin Yulu's parents had vanished as if off the face of the earth, never to appear again.

Ye Xiao sent people from Blood Blade to search Qin Yulu's house, but it was all fruitless. Furthermore, Qin Yulu's house seemed to have been tidied up, with the doors tightly closed.

"With your results, you'll undoubtedly be one of the top students immediately if you go to Minghai Academy!" Ye Xiao said to Qin Yulu with a smile.

Qin Yulu looked at Ye Xiao strangely after hearing what he said.

"What do you mean?" Qin Yulu asked.

"I want you to transfer to Minghai Academy!" Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yulu immediately said, "Minghai Academy is a school for nobles, how could I..."

"You're a noble in my eyes anyway!" Ye Xiao said while offering Qin Yulu a small apple.

"Let's talk about it after I'm discharged from the hospital," sighed Qin Yulu, then added, "Did you really not find them?"

Ye Xiao looked at Qin Yulu with a wry smile and said, "You've asked me five times already, we really couldn't find them."

"Oh!" Qin Yulu made an 'oh' sound and fell silent, but it was obvious that she was quite upset.

"Ye Xiao, you aren't a Qi Gong Master, are you?" After some time, Qin Yulu suddenly asked Ye Xiao.

"Ah?" Ye Xiao hadn't expected Qin Yulu to suddenly ask this question and just laughed, saying, "Why would you say that?"

Qin Yulu said, "The internet says Qi Gong is very mystical, but it hasn't reached the point where you can fly, has it?"

Last time, during Ye Xiao's fight with Hu Zhihan, they fought in mid-air at times, which led Qin Yulu to think it involved flying.

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "That wasn't flying, just jumping a bit higher, um, I'm not a Qi Gong Master, I am..."

Ye Xiao wasn't sure how to answer Qin Yulu's question, after all, he didn't want to lie, but revealing his true identity didn't seem to have any benefits for Qin Yulu either.

"A person with special abilities!" Qin Yulu looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao heard what Qin Yulu said and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "You're absolutely right!"

Martial Artists and people with special abilities did have some similarities after all.

"You really have special abilities?" Qin Yulu was quite surprised to hear Ye Xiao's words, although she had mentally prepared herself beforehand.

Ye Xiao just smiled and did not answer.

"From now on, you'll live at Ling Shuya's house, I live there too!" Ye Xiao said.

"But..." Qin Yulu found the arrangement somewhat difficult to accept.

"Is it because you're not that familiar with Ling Shuya?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Qin Yulu nodded.

"That girl, although she has a bit of a princess temper, it seems that's only towards me and some of the people who pursue her, while she appears to be quite kind to other girls," Ye Xiao comment amusedly.

"So, does that mean you're one of those pursuing her?" Qin Yulu teased with a raised eyebrow.

"No... it's her who pursues me!" Ye Xiao said with a proud smile.

Qin Yulu, hearing Ye Xiao's words, was speechless and chose to act as if she hadn't heard it!
