Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 539: Searching High and Low for the Heirloom

After leaving Shennv Xuanhui, Qian Ye hadn’t seen Qian Qing since. Although she sometimes worried about Qian Qing’s situation, she could only pray that Qian Qing could take care of herself.

"I’m sorry, Qian Qing, I can’t protect you all the time." Qian Ye sighed. After stepping into the foreign region, she still cared about the sisters she was close to in Shennv Xuanhui.

When she saw that Qian Feng, Qian Ying, and Qian Xue had survived to the present through the hibernation pods, Lin Xi had once hoped to see Qian Qing again. However, when she heard from Qian Feng that there were only three hibernation pods, Lin Xi sank into despair again.

Shennv Xuanhui had a rule that women should not marry rotten men. Lin Xi never expected to see Qian Qing’s descendants, which meant that Qian Qing had escaped eldest sister’s control, or for whatever reason, Qian Qing must have married someone.

Lin Xi gently touched Qin Jia’s birthmark, admiring it like a precious piece of art, which confused Qin Jia. "What’s wrong, Lin Xi, do you like my birthmark so much?"

"Yes, it’s the most beautiful birthmark I have ever seen in my life." Lin Xi didn’t lie, there were few people with such beautiful birthmarks.

Qin Jia looks pleased. "Yeah, I think my birthmark is quite special too."

After careful consideration, Lin Xi added, "Qin Jia, listen to me, don’t ever let people from Shennv Xuanhui see your birthmark, or you’ll be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jia was quickly scared. "Ah, don’t scare me, Lin Xi. Does my birthmark have anything to do with Shennv Xuanhui?"

Lin Xi nodded. "I once had a good sister in Shennv Xuanhui named Qian Qing. She also surnamed Qin. She also had a birthmark like yours. So, I suspect you could be Qian Qing’s descendant."

"Such a coincidence?" Qin Jia was a little incredulous, but Lin Xi sighed. "It should be right. Both surnamed Qin, both with the same birthmark. The trouble lies here. According to the rules of Shennv Xuanhui, women cannot marry rotten men, or it will be considered betrayal. Shennv Xuanhui would wipe out the traitor and her family."

"What’s wrong with marrying the one you love? You’re just jealous. You can’t find true love, destined to be old maids your entire lives, yet wouldn’t allow others to find true love either." At this point, Qin Jia was puzzled, "Wait a minute, Lin Xi, weren’t you the second elder sister of Shennv Xuanhui? Who made this rule of not marrying?"

Lin Xi revealed an embarrassed expression. "This rule, of course, was set by Qian Feng. How could I come up with such an inhumane rule? I, too, hope that my good sisters could marry well."

"Really?" Qin Jia had a skeptical expression.

Lin Xi tried to change the subject. "Alright, let’s not talk about this. Qian Qing told me before that only if you marry a man with the surname Qin, the birthmark will be passed down through generations. I guess that’s why your mother made you break up with Du Jun."

Qin Jia was in a dilemma. "But, I can’t just marry someone I don’t like because of this birthmark. And what’s so great about this birthmark being passed down?"

"Perhaps it symbolizes a special status. Qian Qing didn’t tell me before." Lin Xi was also curious. Qin Jia’s birthmark was unique, and it might hide some secret, which had to be passed down from generation to generation.

Lin Xi suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "That reminds me, Qin Jia, your mother also has this kind of birthmark, right?"

"Yeah, my mom has it too, and there’s a family heirloom she has never let me touch." At Qin Jia’s words, Lin Xi’s curiosity was piqued. "Oh my god, when Qian Qing first joined us in Shennv Xuanhui, she came with nothing. Where did she get a family heirloom?"

Qin Jia guessed, "It could very well be an heirloom passed down from Qian Qing."

Lin Xi made a shushing gesture and then said softly, "How about this, we secretly open the heirloom and see. I want to know what kind of good things Qian Qing left for us."

"This is not good. If my mom finds out, she will surely spank me." Qin Jia expressed her reluctance.

"Since it’s a family heirloom, it will eventually be passed on to you." Lin Xi tried to persuade her. Seeing Qin Jia still hesitating, Lin Xi pressed on, "We secretly open it and look. This way your mom won’t know, and she won’t spank you."

Qin Jia gave a bitter smile, looking quite unwilling. "Don’t make this difficult for me, Lin Xi."

"Your mom happens to be out tonight, isn’t she? Don’t you think this is a rare opportunity? Perhaps it’s fate’s arrangement? If we uncover the secrets of your birthmark, we might not need to continue the lineage. Then you won’t have to be forced to break up with Du Jun and marry a man surnamed Qin." Lin Xi constantly tempted her, and Qin Jia’s defenses were not strong. Qin Jia thought about if she could break this lineage, if she could live a happy life with Du Jun, it would be worth the risk of getting spanked.

At this, Lin Xi and Qin Jia quickly got into action together. Although the door of Qin Jia’s parents’ room was locked, who was Lin Xi? With a spell cast, the door was opened.

This move startled Qin Jia. She blurted out, "Lin Xi, I want to know what kind of lock can keep you out."

"So far, none." Lin Xi laughed and then sneaked in to start rummaging through cupboards.

Qin Jia watched as Lin Xi acted like a thief in her own house while she had to serve as an accomplice, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In the end, Lin Xi spotted a safe and wanted to open it without a second thought. This got Qin Jia very worried. "Lin Xi, my mom has warned me countless times not to touch this. If you cause something bad to happen, my mom certainly won’t spare me."

"Rest assured, I know what I’m doing." Lin Xi placed a hand on the safe, closed her eyes, and cast her spell with concentration.

Qin Jia watched with palpitations, then grew suspicious. "Lin Xi, you seem very experienced. You don’t do this at home regularly, do you?"

"Of course not, I just use this method to open the door when I forget my keys." Lin Xi said it casually, as if it was a matter of course.

There was a clank, indicating the safe was open. Lin Xi and Qin Jia looked at each other, each taking a deep breath. They opened the safe, and the first thing they saw was a lot of cash and jewelry.

Such things as gold, silver, and jewelry were not special in Lin Xi’s eyes. She was looking for something unique, so she started to take things out from the safe.

Qin Jia was anxious. "Lin Xi, stop it! My mom’s memory is exceptional. With you messing up all these things, if they are not put back in the original places, I’ll be in trouble."

"Don’t worry, my memory isn’t bad either." After saying that, Lin Xi suddenly stiffened. She felt embarrassed because she seemed to forget where these things had come from.

Seeing Lin Xi’s apologetic face, Qin Jia fell into despair. "Oh my god, how did things come to this?"
