Qu Fulan hurriedly put the jade pendant back into the space, then got up to greet Heir Pei.
As Pei Ji'an entered, his gaze swept up and down Qu Fulan, then casually asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Qu Fulan found Heir Pei to be somewhat odd at the moment, but couldn't pinpoint why. So, she recounted where she had been and then asked what was the matter.
Pei Ji'an lifted his robe and sat down, accepting the tea handed over by a maid. He said nonchalantly, "Oh, nothing, just asking."
Qu Fulan didn't mention the jade pendant glowing. She didn't know the purpose of the pendant Pei Ji'an carried, but she used it to protect her cross-world soul.
So, talking carelessly about things she herself couldn't fully grasp might just be tempting fate.
Otherwise, if Heir Pei learned that her pendant could glow, he would surely inquire about the reason, right? And if he found something out, how could she explain?
