Chapter 40: Forty, I know!
"Blood red... Jade?"
When questioned by the tall and thin elder, Shang Yan’s face was blank, clearly not pretending. Given his understanding of Shang Li and her son, he probably never paid attention to the pendant on Yun Xiao’s neck, right?
In fact, Yun Xiao had only been in the sight of the Shang Family for a mere ten days, and when he emerged from the Snake Nest, the physical Blood Moon Jade was already not on his neck.
There are many Jades in the Shang Family, but Shang Yan racked his brains and could not recall an image of a blood-red Moon-shaped Jade, and the next moment, he even breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In Shang Yan’s view, these menacing powerful individuals had perhaps made some mistake or perhaps that object had appeared in Moon Bow City before, hence they came to inquire—it must be a misunderstanding.
"Oh? You don’t know?"
Before Shang Yan could respond, a trace of disappointment flickered through the eyes of the tall, thin elder, and his gentle mutter clearly displayed the depth of his disappointment.
"If that is the case, then this Shang Family...is useless to keep around!"
Just as the Family Head Shang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a sentence that terrified him, though it wasn’t said with much intensity—it was as if he was discussing something extremely trivial.
Yet, this soft-spoken statement was like a bolt from the blue to Shang Yan’s ears, and he suddenly realized that perhaps he was the one who had misunderstood something. The unsolicited arrival of these guests today probably meant the Shang Family was facing a crisis of extermination.
