Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1372: Tipsy

He couldn’t quite fathom what Bai Qingyan meant by returning the jade cicada. Was she not interested in time reversal... in going back to the battlefield in the southern territories to save her family?

"Thank you!" Sal Khan took the jade cicada in hand, nodded with a smile to Wei Zhong, and focused his gaze on Bai Qingyan.

Seeing Bai Qingyan pleased by the finalized alliance with the Yan Kingdom, she drank several glasses of wine, focused on the performances in the grand hall, and gently tapped the cushion in rhythm with her hand resting on it.

Sal Khan lowered his gaze, rubbed the jade cicada with his thumb, then looked up again at Bai Qingyan, considering the Great Shaman’s suggestion worthwhile. Sal Khan had many kinds of women around him, even presented women from Xiliang, Zhou, and the Yan Kingdom, each offering different experiences, but none quite like Bai Qingyan.

Though there was slight admiration, Sal Khan never harbored any disrespectful thoughts towards Bai Qingyan—only admiration and esteem. Yet, this situation couldn’t go on... he had to obtain the jade cicada.

Xiao Rongyan observed Bai Qingyan’s finger tapping absently on the cushion, guessing she was thinking about her siblings coming back. Indeed, she was overjoyed, and nothing else could make Bai Qingyan’s happiness spill out so openly.

Just as Xiao Rongyan anticipated, Bai Qingyan’s joy wasn’t for anything else; the alliance between the two countries was secured, and A Yu, A Qi, Ah Jue, A Yun, Jinxiu, Little Four, Little Five, Little Six, and Little Seven were all coming back.

Finally, it was the time for the family to be reunited again.

From the battle in the southern territories to now, whenever they gathered as a family, there were always one or two missing. But this time... everyone she knew was still alive could come back.

Their mother could also listen well to A Yu say... Pingan has returned.

"This jade cicada was originally a pair!" Sal Khan seemed to talk to himself, gazing at the jade cicada in his hand, "I heard that the Emperor’s consort once had a similar jade cicada. This period, the jade cicada has been with the Emperor; I wonder, in the Emperor’s view, how does this jade cicada differ from the one the Zhou consort had?"

Bai Qingyan glanced at Sal Khan, indeed guessing that it was the jade cicada he was after.

"It seems there’s no obvious difference, but alas, the consort’s jade cicada was lost. Otherwise, they could have been compared." Bai Qingyan displayed a look of regret. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Sal Khan’s grip on the jade cicada tightened slightly. Could it be because that jade cicada was lost that... Bai Qingyan never considered trying the method of time reversal?

"I have already sent people to search for the consort’s jade cicada. If it is found while Tianfeng’s Monarch is still in Zhou, I hope you may allow the jade cicada in your hand to be observed."

"This time, I’ve personally come for the sake of restoring relations between the two countries, naturally. Originally, if the Emperor wished... my Tianfeng Kingdom should offer the jade cicada as a gift. Yet, this jade cicada is a national treasure of Tianfeng, and dare not be given away lightly." Sal Khan spoke with a smile, seizing the opportunity to bring the matter forward, "Although Tianfeng and Zhou are separated by a snow mountain as neighbors, they should coexist peacefully and open mutual markets for common prosperity."

As Sal Khan finished speaking, the Great Shaman stepped forward and took out the gift list Sal Khan brought from his sleeve.

Wei Zhong hurriedly stepped down from the high platform, took the gift list from the Great Shaman, and walked quickly to Bai Qingyan, spreading it open in front of her.
