After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 256: Heart Grass

Because she had raised several junior brothers in her previous life, Jiang Liqian's heart softened unconsciously when she saw Tuan Tuan crawling into her arms. She stroked his head and comforted him softly, then carried him back to the couch and at the same time took her sister Yuan Yuan into her arms.

"Tuan Tuan, you're the older brother, so you should be stronger, okay? Can you tell Sister Jiang Jiang what you encountered? Who did you see? Are there any eye-catching signs around? Are there any other children your age?"

Tuantuan was sobbing and his body was still shaking. Jiang Liqian coaxed him again and again, fed him some water, and stuffed a candy into his mouth. Only then did he feel better.

"I...I don't know what happened, I just felt dizzy all of a sudden, and then I ended up somewhere else."

Tuantuan choked with sobs, one of her small hands tightly grasped Jiang Liqian's sleeve, and the other held her sister's hand tightly, looking extremely scared.

"That place is a cave, very big and very cold. There are so many things in it..." Tuan Tuan seemed to have seen some horrifying scene. His face turned pale and he was trembling and could hardly speak.

Seeing this, City Lord Zhao couldn't help but ask anxiously, "A lot of what?"

But Tuan Tuan seemed to be extremely frightened, screaming and shrinking in Jiang Liqian's arms, not daring to show his head again.

City Lord Zhao was anxious, but seeing the child like this, he couldn't force him to answer anything. He could only sigh and ask the maid beside him to check the situation. If the situation was not good, he would ask the alchemist to come and take a look.

Jiang Liqian hadn't expected that just one sentence from City Lord Zhao could scare Tuantuan so much, so she quickly hugged him tighter and kept comforting him softly.

However, at this moment, the sister who had been silent all this time, as if frightened out of her wits, suddenly spoke: "Cocoons, so many cocoons, and inside... there are people..."

Yuanyuan clutched Jiang Liqian's clothes tightly, her eyes growing redder and redder. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and lay in her arms, wailing loudly: "Sister Jiang Jiang, there are living people in there. There's a beautiful older sister who wants to wrap my brother and me in the cocoon as well. Wuuuuu... Sister Jiang Jiang, are my brother and I going to die? I don't want to die. I haven't told my parents yet. The teacher also gave me a big peony flower this time. Wuuuuu..."

Jiang Liqian quickly hugged her, splitting herself into two parts, and kept comforting the two little kids. However, they were really scared and cried so hard that they could hardly breathe. Jiang Liqian was afraid that something might happen to them, so she put her hands on their backs and used a little spiritual power to make them fall asleep peacefully.

After leaving the house, Jiang Liqian hesitated and said to City Lord Zhao, "Lord City Lord, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have been deeply traumatized. If possible, could we erase their memories of being abducted?"

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are still too young and their ability to learn is not as good as that of adults. For their future healthy growth, sometimes we have to take extraordinary measures.

City Lord Zhao also understood Jiang Liqian's painstaking efforts. He nodded and said, "After they wake up, we'll ask for details. If the two children really can't explain anything, we'll discuss it with their parents and give them the Forget Worry Pill."

Jiang Liqian did not quite agree with City Lord Zhao's approach. If possible, she wanted to give them the Forget Worry Pill immediately instead of forcing the two little kids to recall the scary memory again.

But she also understood the responsibilities and worries that City Lord Zhao had to bear as the city lord. All she could do now was to find the "black hand" who kidnapped them as soon as possible.

Although Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were afraid, they gave them quite a bit of information. City Lord Zhao immediately gathered everyone together again, briefly told them what they knew now, and also told them what he had discovered last night in Shuiyue Pavilion.

He took out a half-burnt spiritual herb from his ring and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Su Yanqing asked in confusion.

The disciples of Qiankun Sect who were with Yun Ruyi discussed this for a while, but they still didn't recognize this strange-looking spiritual herb.

It has a round, bright red top and a cold white lower half that coils around like a snake - such a bizarre shape that you will probably never forget it after just one look.

Yun Ruyi did not discuss with her fellow disciples, but instead looked in the direction of Jiang Liqian. Jiang Liqian's face was indeed pale, and she was so emotionally agitated that she accidentally broke the teacup beside her.

Everyone's eyes turned to her.

"Miss Jiang, do you know him?" Although City Lord Zhao was asking, he was already certain in his heart that she knew him.

Jiang Liqian gave him the impression of being confident, calm, and unique, as if she knew many unsolved mysteries, or had experienced many unknown things.

The intuition of cultivators is generally very accurate, especially for cultivators with higher cultivation levels. Their first intuition is often a hidden omen or a divine secret.

Jiang Liqian stared intently at the spiritual herb on the table, her misty eyes gradually turning hazy and bloodshot. She struggled to wake up from the darkness of her depravity, but the sharp pain buried deep in her memory in her spine was like countless cold hooks, tightly locking her throat, limbs, and heart...

"Chuxin Grass..."

How could she not recognize him?

A nightmare she couldn't shake off, a nightmare she couldn't forget—she was chained to the torture stake again and again, the dazzling, brightly lit array beneath her feet, the blood swirls down her face, her face throbbing with pain, and her immaculate master, who stood high above her...

Her half-immortal bone was ruthlessly pulled out by her most respected and trusted master, who destroyed it in front of her.

Her blood, her cultivation, her tears, none of them could cover the pain and despair at that moment.

And in the center of the formation that trapped her and separated her semi-immortal bones from her body was floating this spiritual herb, the Chuxin Grass!

[Ding! The young master's inner demon's backlash value has increased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 48%.]

[Ding! The young master's inner demon's backlash value has increased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 49%.]

[Ding! The backlash value of the young master's inner demon increases...]

The back of her hand suddenly felt warm, and a worried voice penetrated the vast mist and reached her ears: "Qianqian, Qianqian!"

Jiang Liqian's mind suddenly returned to her senses. She stood up abruptly, shook off Yun Ruyi's hand, and her face gradually turned terribly cold.

Yun Ruyi's face turned pale in an instant.

"Chuxin Grass, the Eye of Forbidden Technique, is not to be used unless it is extremely evil!" She read out the words one by one with trembling lips.

Then she closed her eyes tightly, hiding all her blood and tears.

City Lord Zhao did not expect Jiang Liqian to react so strongly, but he did feel the spiritual power of the Chuxin Grass, which is why he hurried over.

Chuxin grass is extremely rare and has very limited uses. Unless it is a special situation, no cultivator would need it.

Just as Jiang Liqian said, this Chuxin grass that has not been destroyed in time is probably the reason why children in Shuiwan City disappear one after another.
