Female Protagonist Assistance System

Chapter 80 : Ancestral Awakening Jade

"However, the one thing we can be certain of now is that the Clan Leader's life is not in danger."

The Third Elder carefully took out an ancient box from his bosom. Opening the box revealed a jade-green jade piece. In the center of the jade piece, a light spot was slowly moving, as if it possessed consciousness.

Cautiously picking up the jade piece, the Third Elder examined it carefully up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "This jade piece was left by the Xiao Family ancestors. Each generation's Clan Leader leaves a bit of soul power on it. If the Clan Leader dies, this moving light spot would dissipate. Now, the soul light spot left by the Clan Leader is still strong, so he must not be in mortal danger."

Looking at this jade piece, Xiao Han's eyes focused slightly.

Ancestral Awakening Jade......

The Third Elder handed the box in his hands to Xiao Han with both hands. She was silent for a moment before taking it out.

She certainly knew what the Third Elder meant. It was nothing more than hoping she could manage the Xiao Family on behalf of Xiao Zhan during the Clan Leader's absence, seeking a way for the family to survive. After all, she had connections with both the Cloud Mist Sect and the Mi Teer Family. There was no way she could let the family decline.

Xiao Han didn't want to get involved, but thinking of her Second Brother who was still seriously injured and unconscious, she hesitated for a moment. Finally, she accepted this hot potato.

"By the way, Third Elder, what about my Eldest Brother and Second Brother?" Thinking of this, Xiao Han suddenly asked. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li should have been in the desert, so how did they get injured?

The Third Elder was startled for a moment and said: "The First Young Master and Second Young Master? What happened to them?"

Seeing the Third Elder's reaction, Xiao Han suddenly felt something was off: "My Second Brother was seriously injured and came to Jia Nan Academy for help."

The Third Elder was stunned, then slowly sighed: "So that's why... No wonder the two young masters didn't rush back."

"When this incident happened, the Xiao Family suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed someone who could take charge. Xiao Han, child, don't think that I can still sit here and talk to you now. I was also seriously injured and almost followed the two elders. Everyone discussed and decided to call back the two young masters who were out training to take charge of the situation. After all, they are also the Clan Leader's own children. These matters can't be hidden from them."

In other words, Xiao Li was originally supposed to return to the Xiao Family in Wutan City, but why did he come to Jia Nan Academy for help with his serious injuries?

Could it be that someone intercepted them on the way? Is that why Xiao Li had to change direction and come to Jia Nan Academy to find her?

Then what about Eldest Brother? Where is Eldest Brother? Xiao Han didn't believe that Eldest Brother would abandon Second Brother and escape alone.

Could it be... that Eldest Brother drew away the pursuers, giving Second Brother time to come to Jia Nan Academy?

Thinking of this, Xiao Han's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a surging killing intent burst forth, causing Hun Jin and the others closest to her to break out in a cold sweat, unable to breathe.

"I understand," Xiao Han said coldly. "I have some healing pills here. Third Elder, first give them to the injured clan members. After they've recovered, then go......"

At this point, Xiao Han suddenly stopped.

Nalan Yanran saw this and quickly said: "Why not come to our Cloud Mist Sect? I'm sure those people won't come to the Cloud Mist Sect to cause trouble. After you've dealt with everything, you can move back. It's not too late."

Xiao Han frowned slightly: "Won't that be too much trouble for you?"

Nalan Yanran found it amusing: "Why be so formal? You've helped our Cloud Mist Sect a lot. Just consider it as returning the favor."

Yafei also chimed in: "Miss Yanran is right. If you go to the imperial capital, my Mi Teer Family will naturally take good care of the Xiao Family as well."

After thinking about it, there didn't seem to be a better option. Xiao Han nodded and accepted their kindness.

After handing the pills to the Third Elder, Xiao Han let him go take care of the injured clan members first.

After the Third Elder left, Xiao Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, she wasn't good at dealing with people who were grateful to her, especially when she had some connection with them.

Glancing at Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, who were still immersed in grief, Xiao Han pressed her lips together and said: "My condolences."

Xiao Mei wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Sir, sir, Ah Da and the others know who attacked your family," Qing Lin, who had been sitting obediently in Yafei's arms, raised her hand and said at this moment.

Hearing this, all eyes in the room focused on her.

Xiao Han also looked at Qing Lin. She had roughly guessed that the attacker should be from the Soul Hall, but she still wanted to confirm whether her guess was correct.

Seeing everyone in the room looking at her, Qing Lin blushed as usual and gently tugged on the sleeve of the man standing not far from her side.

The man was dressed in black, with a red-eyed black snake coiled around his arm. His face was covered, so his features couldn't be seen clearly.

Xiao Han's gaze slowly moved to the black snake on the man's body. She could sense that the snake clearly had the strength of a Dou Wang.

"May I ask who this is?" Xiao Han asked.

The man cupped his hands in salute and said in a somewhat hoarse voice that sounded like a snake's hiss: "I am Chang Hong, a disciple of the Heavenly Snake Mansion."

The Heavenly Snake Mansion? Xiao Han was slightly surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that the Heavenly Snake Mansion had still found Qing Lin, and hadn't forcibly taken her back. Moreover, from the looks of it, Qing Lin should have a high status in the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

"So it's an honored guest from the Heavenly Snake Mansion," Xiao Han said calmly, her thoughts racing.

Chang Hong's attitude was very polite, showing no arrogance of a disciple from a major sect facing members of a fallen family.

As an elite disciple of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Chang Hong had spent years with snakes and possessed a snake-like keen intuition. This intuition told him that the so-called fallen family member before him was not simple. She was very strong, possibly even able to kill him with a slap.

Chang Hong strongly believed in his intuition, so he chose to be humble and polite in front of Xiao Han.

"I don't deserve such praise," Chang Hong said. "Based on the description from your clan's elder, I can be almost certain that the person who attacked your clan that day should be from the Soul Hall."

As expected.

Xiao Han narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Soul Hall?" At this moment, an incredulous voice sounded. Xiao Han turned her head to see Hun Jin beside Xiao Mei with an unbelieving expression.

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Hun Jin was from the Soul Clan and should have some connection with the Soul Hall.

Probably also remembering Hun Jin's identity, Xiao Mei suddenly turned her head, staring fixedly at Hun Jin, her lips trembling slightly, pale without a trace of color.

Those pale lips trembled, but ultimately didn't utter a word.

The hand that had been tightly gripping Hun Jin's sleeve suddenly loosened. Xiao Mei staggered back two steps, looking lost. She pushed Hun Jin away and ran out of the hall, her retreating figure looking extremely distressed.

"Mei'er!" Hun Jin was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead. Disregarding the gazes of so many people in the room, she flashed away, chasing after Xiao Mei's departing direction. The people left in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That girl just now... is she from the Soul Hall?" Yafei looked at Xiao Han with some confusion.

Xiao Han frowned slightly. After a long moment, she shook her head: "No, she's from the Soul Clan. She should have no connection with the Soul Hall."

Although the Soul Hall was an organization within the Soul Clan, this didn't mean that all Soul Clan members were Soul Hall members. It was like the Black Abyss Army of the Ancient Clan; not all Ancient Clan members were part of the Black Abyss Army.

Moreover, during their nearly half-year interaction in the Inner Court, Xiao Han had come to understand that Hun Jin was a person with a good heart and character, and she genuinely liked Xiao Mei. She could be certain that Hun Jin definitely didn't know about this matter. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so shocked when she heard that it was the Soul Hall who attacked the Xiao Family.

The question was whether Xiao Mei, whose father and grandfather had died at the hands of the Soul Hall, could still accept Hun Jin, a member of the Soul Clan.

[Host, can Xiao Mei accept it?] The system, which hadn't appeared for a long time, finally couldn't resist popping up after eating so much melon. It had been shipping Xiao Mei and Hun Jin as a couple for a long time. They absolutely couldn't have a bad ending.

Completely unaware that her system had learned to ship couples and was worrying whether the couple it shipped would have a bad ending, Xiao Han shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Xiao Han felt a bit of a headache. She raised her hand to rub her temples, then looked up at everyone. After pondering for a moment, she finally said: "Thank you all for your help these days. I'm sure everyone is tired. Please make yourselves at home."

The Xiao Family should have prepared accommodations for these people. Otherwise, where had they been staying all these days? The Xiao Family people certainly wouldn't dare to neglect them.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the Heavenly Snake Mansion and others, Xiao Han took her leave first.

"System, can you locate my Eldest Brother?"

As soon as she left the hall, Xiao Han's face darkened, and she inquired of the system in her mind.

Although Xiao Han's expression hadn't changed much, how could the system curled up in her mind not sense its host's overwhelming anger? It immediately trembled, its tone becoming cautious:

[Sorry, Host. Because Xiao Ding is not a key character in the plot, the system cannot detect his location or situation.]

Although she had already guessed this answer, when she actually heard it, Xiao Han still felt some disappointment. She raised her hand to rub her brow, only able to pray that her Eldest Brother was not in mortal danger.

"Never mind. I'll go to the Soul Hall later to see. If Eldest Brother has really been taken to the Soul Hall, then......"

Xiao Han didn't finish her sentence, but her eyes suddenly turned cold. The system keenly detected the undeniable killing intent in her tone.

The system's core shuddered, not daring to say anything more, fearing it might provoke Xiao Han's displeasure. Although it knew its host was very rational and wouldn't do anything out of misplaced anger, it was still cowardly.

Feeling Xiao Han's aura becoming increasingly icy, the system felt itself trembling.

Why did the female lead have to leave at this critical moment?!

Please, female lead, come back quickly!! It really couldn't take it anymore!!
