Having resolved the matter of stealing longevity, both Xiong Er and Jing Xiaosi felt a great sense of relief. Seeing that it was just past noon and there was nothing more in Gold City, Qin Liuxi suggested that they head for Shengjing.
This suggestion suited Xiong Er just fine; who knew the current chaos in Marquis Chang'an Mansion, better to return to the capital before they could react and have assistance at hand.
He personally went to rent two horse carriages and urged the drivers to hurry, they must reach the capital before the city gates closed.
Indeed, Marquis Chang'an Mansion was thrown into chaos due to Jing Wu's sudden fainting spell.
Especially Marchioness Chang'an, Mrs. Niu, when she saw Jing Wu's Jade Pendant broken in half and his pale and wilted face, her own face changed colors and she quickly stepped forward to grab his hand and check. Her vision darkened at the sight.
How could this be, how could the Life Line be broken?
