275 He Should Know Something About I (1/2)

Lin Jian knew that Yao Ying wouldn't dare to do something like that. But... a glowing symbol? How could he believe in such a farfetched thing?! ”Can you swear about it?” He still asked in disbelief, making Yao Ying rolled his eyes in amusement. He wouldn't believe it too if he didn't see it with his own eyes ah~!

”I swear. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!” Yao Ying swore seriously. He didn't lie so he didn't feel afraid to swear for real.

With this, Lin Jian could only believe him. Chinese people took their oath seriously and wouldn't lie just to risk their lives.

”Now... she's not waking up...” Yao Ying finally told him the thing that he was worried about. ”I don't think this happens because I hit the back of her head, after all, I only did it lightly. She was supposed to wake up a long time ago... I have a gut feeling that it has something to do with the glowing symbols... I don't know who to turn to for this matter to be cleared up...”

Yao Ying was also afraid that this happened because he stopped the forming words to be able to fully finished assembling itself ah~!

Yao Ying admitted the reason he called them was that he needed their help. Lin Jian quickly turned to Xiao Fang, because this matter was related to the Han people so maybe she would know something. ”Do you know something about that forbidden place?”

Xiao Fang shook her head helplessly. ”Since I was a little girl, it has been implanted in my mind that it's a forbidden place. Thus, I never really inquire about that matter. It's not connected to me anyway, hence I never pay special attention to it. Besides, Uncle Qiu always tells me not to inquire about that matter.”

Yao Ying and Lin Jian sighed. They were also at a loss at what to do. Yao Ying suddenly had an idea and he quickly asked Xiao Fang, ”Do you have any idea whether Uncle Qiu would know something about this or not?”

Because of Xiao Fang's last words, Yao Ying was pretty sure that Uncle Qiu should know something about it!

Xiao Fang's eyes lit up prettily. ”I don't know about that! However, I can try to inquire about it to Uncle Qiu.” She knew that Uncle Qiu used to hold an important position in the court, so... he should know something about this matter, right?

Yao Ying was feeling a bit worried whether Uncle Qiu could be trusted or not, after all, this matter was quite important for Yao Ling. Because it was connected to the treasures inside that place, he knew that there was a possibility it would be a danger to Yao Ling, if this matter was known by the wrong person. He felt a bit worried about asking to an involved person regarding this glowing symbols.

However, they had no other choice. Uncle Qiu was the only person that they could be trusted at this point. Who else that they could turn to except for him?

Yao Ying gave a little warning to Xiao Fang, ”Can you only inquire a little bit what inside that forbidden place is first? Don't mention anything about Yao Ling... or what happened to her. Can you do that?” Yao Ying didn't try beat around the bush which made Xiao Fang quite taken aback.

Xiao Fang nodded hesitantly. ”Yes, I can. But why? Shouldn't I ask him as clearly as possible to know how to wake Yao Ling up?”

Lin Jian understood what Yao Ying meant, thus, he agreed with his thoughts. ”Xiao Fang, I agree with Yao Ying. It's not because we can't trust Uncle Qiu, but walls have ears. You certainly have to find Uncle Qiu around Bao Bei's cage, right? I'm afraid that random people would accidentally hear your conversations. Not only that, you see how many people are searching for Yao Ling, right? They must have paid a closer look to other people's movement...”

Lin Jian could only give this reason to appease Xiao Fang. They might not trust Uncle Qiu, but he was Xiao Fang's Godfather and Xiao Fang must have trusted him a lot. They couldn't hurt her feelings by saying it to her face ah~! That stupid Yao Ying! Lin Jian grumbled to himself.

Xiao Fang was able to accept this reasoning and she nodded in agreement. She knew that she couldn't talk about last night's matter --- even to Uncle Qiu at the moment.
