Qin Ying was very conflicted in her heart.
Although Chen Xuan had deceived her for so long, in reality, he hadnât done anything to harm her.
This point also showed that he didnât have any malicious intent.
Moreover, though she didnât admit it to herself, there was indeed... a different feeling towards him.
This was also why, even though he had returned to Molan Mansion for so long, Qin Ying hadnât sought him out.
Now she was still conflicted, but she was truly afraid that if she couldnât hold back and accidentally spilled the beans, how would things between them be handled.
If she angered him and then made a decision sheâd regret, then....
"What exactly should I do?"
Qin Yingâs expression was complicated, her heart was in turmoil, unable to make a decision.
Whether to choose the treasure left by Marquis Ning or...!?
...
Similarly, after Qin Ke left, Chen Xuan also didnât understand.
"Should I take the initiative a bit?"
After all, Qin Ying already knew everything now, would it be insincere to continue playing dumb.
Moreover... ever since she found out, she still chose him.
Otherwise, for the last Soul Search, knowing that there wasnât enough time, she still placed the Eastern Domain last.
"Letâs wait a bit more!"
Chen Xuan secretly thought, at least until after this matter was concluded.
After all, it was only three daysâ time.
...
Three days later, Qin Ke arrived at Dark Moon Trading Company on time.
"This is what I have annotated, just compare it when you go back."
Jiang Yudao placed the transcribed book on the table.
Qin Ke immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, senior! I will remember this favor, and should you need anything in the future, within Molan Mansion, I shall spare no effort!"
"Ah!"
Yet, Jiang Yudao inexplicably sighed, immediately causing Qin Ke to feel a bit uneasy.
So he promptly asked, "Why do you say that, senior...?"
"To my shame, this book contains over a thousand characters, but I could only annotate over 700 of them, the remaining 300 or so I truly do not recognize!"
"This..."
Qin Ke was stunned.
or so characters, thatâs quite a lot.
But...
"Itâs an unavoidable situation, I still must thank the senior!"
"Of course, everything I just said holds true!"
Words once spoken cannot be taken back, and he had also done his best, furthermore, Qin Ke had an interest in fostering ties with Dark Moon Trading Company.
"However... there is another method?"
Just as Qin Ke was about to leave, Jiang Yudao slowly spoke up.
"Another method?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ke felt joy in his heart, but immediately became puzzled.
Why not mention such a method earlier if it existed?
He only spoke up just as he was about to leave!
"Something seems off!"
Secretly speculating in his heart, yet outwardly displaying a delighted expression, he urgently asked, "Dare I ask, senior, what other method is there?"
"Because these characters are jumbled, if they were in their original order, I could perhaps guess them based on context, in which case, with my learning, it shouldnât be a problem."
Back then Jiang Qi said he wanted to discuss this with Qin Ke, but Jiang Yudao refused.
That was the reason for this move.
"Ah..."
Listening to his suggestion, Qin Ke couldnât help but slightly raise an eyebrow.
"Brother Qin, the elder didnât want to read the book, itâs just that some characters are too ancient, he didnât have a grasp on them for the moment!"
At this moment, Jiang Qi also chimed in to explain.
He thought his grandfather had some good idea, but it turned out to be this!?
Really... ah, he didnât even know what to say.
Wasnât it clear that he wanted to read the book?
What kind of person is Qin Ke?
Insightful and astute, how could he not see through such a trick?
"No worries, Brother Jiang, no need to explain, of course, I understand, itâs just... this book isnât mine, it belongs to a senior, so ultimately, I need to see what that senior means by this!"
"How about this, Iâll take it back to him and ask what he means?"
"Would that be good?"
