The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 617: Xiao Xue’s Tough Fate

Lian Xichen was about to say something, but Han Jing had already stormed off.

Lian Xichen...

Lan Ling, who was beside him, patted his shoulder nonchalantly: "Brother Xichen, don’t worry. If we don’t bring Xiao Xue and A Luo today, they would just follow us anyway, so let’s bring them along!"

Lian Xichen hesitated: "But..."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, Xiao Xue is tough." Lan Ling waved his hand casually and followed them out.

Leaving Lian Xichen flustered. What kind of explanation was this? Xiao Xue is tough? She’s just a five-year-old child, with not a bit of cultivation. No matter how tough she is, she...

Seeing that the others had gone far ahead, Lian Xichen had no choice but to follow.

Beihan Palace is actually outside the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Beyond the Spirit Cultivation Realm is the Northern Land.

Beihan Palace is located on the snowy Polar Ice Field.

Jingluo Lake, where Han Jing and the others were, is in the north of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. So further north after leaving the Spirit Cultivation Realm and crossing the Polar Ice Field is Beihan Palace.

However, the journey is not short. Even though Lian Xichen and Lan Ling had reached the Purple Flame Level, allowing them to teleport within a certain range, it would still take at least a day to reach Beihan Palace.

So, Han Jing and the others only arrived at Beihan Palace in the afternoon of the next day.

Coincidentally, Han Litong, who had rushed back earlier than them, also arrived at noon.

By the time Han Jing and the others arrived, Han Litong had just returned not long before.

As soon as Han Litong returned to Beihan Palace, she didn’t even have time for lunch and went straight to see Han Qingjue.

Han Qingjue watched her mother, who had never gotten angry, saddened, or particularly happy, looking at her with a gaze carrying anger. In her heart, she felt a bit flustered.

But Han Qingjue was no longer the Han Qingjue of the past.

After experiencing so many things, her heart had gradually become more hardened. The calmness she could never learn before, she was now able to maintain at all times.

So even when facing Han Litong, who suddenly changed her expression, she merely smiled calmly: "Mother, what’s wrong? You haven’t been back for so long, what made you think of coming back today?"

Han Litong frowned, looking at the daughter she had raised since childhood, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity for the first time.

Although they had never been particularly close over the years, she was still the child born to her and the man she loved. She had never mistreated her in the slightest, so she really couldn’t imagine her daughter becoming someone alien even to her.

"Jue’er, let me ask you, is the disappearance of the Beiming Pearl related to you?" Han Litong never liked beating around the bush, especially when the person before her was her own daughter. Although she felt chaotic inside when she heard those rumors, she still didn’t want to suspect Han Qingjue.

So she decided to return and ask her directly, without a moment’s hesitation. She didn’t believe it, she really didn’t.

She knew very well what the Beiming Pearl meant to her.

So it was really impossible, absolutely impossible that she would have stolen the Beiming Pearl.

Yet in her heart, there was a trace of fear. This fear suddenly intensified when she saw the daughter she hadn’t cared for in recent years.

Had she really overlooked too much?
