Chapter 998: Betrothal Gift

Chi Jiao composed herself and asked Quan Jue through her consciousness, “Brother Quan, are you there?”
Quan Jue nodded. “I’m standing behind you. I’m still in Little Jue’s body.”
“From the looks of it, as long as we enter the diary, we will enter Bai Jiao’er and Little Jue’s bodies. This should be a fixed thing. It can be seen that our magnetic fields are similar to theirs.” Chi Jiao lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Actually, she had always been puzzled. Why did she become Bai Jiao’er every time she entered the diary?
She had looked up some information. It said that only people with very similar magnetic fields would be attracted to each other. It was not a coincidence that she was possessing Bai Jiao’er’s body now. It proved that there must be some special connection between her and Bai Jiao’er.
Of course, it was the same for Quan Jue. He must be somehow linked to Little Jue. That was why he possessed Little Jue’s body each time he entered the diary.
This phenomenon was really difficult to explain with words.
Perhaps they had some special connection with Bai Jiao’er and Little Jue.
Quan Jue sized up the people in the hall and then looked at the dozen or so mahogany boxes on the floor. “Why are these mahogany boxes tied with red silk?”
“In ancient times, only betrothal gifts or dowries would be tied with red silk… But if these are betrothal gifts, the person sitting on the left of the Bai family head should be Baili Yu. Why is it She Qi?” Chi Jiao’s tone was filled with unconcealable disgust.

From Bai Jiao’er’s perspective, she was sitting on the second seat to the right of the main seat. Bai Wanxi was sitting on the first seat, and Little Jue was standing behind her.
On the main seat sat the Bai family’s head, Bai Jie.
However, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that She Qi was sitting opposite Bai Wanxi, in the seat which represented the most distinguished seat for guests!
What was going on? Could it be that with just a flip of a page, Bai Wanxi had changed her mind from Baili Yu to She Qi?
With this thought in mind, Chi Jiao almost went berserk.
What had happened between those two pages of the diary?!
Baili Yu was such a good person. He should be with Bai Wanxi forever! As for She Qi, he was not worthy at all.
Sensing Chi Jiao’s emotions, Quan Jue hurriedly advised her, “Don’t be anxious. Look at the Bai family’s head and Bai Wanxi’s expressions. They don’t look happy. Perhaps things aren’t as we imagined.”
When Chi Jiao heard Quan Jue’s words, she observed the others carefully.
The situation was as Quan Jue described. Other than She Qi, no one else was smiling. Instead, their faces were cold.
“Young Master She Qi, did you gather our family here just to let us see your betrothal gifts?” Bai Jie’s expression was grim. He glanced at She Qi coldly, unable to figure out what this man was trying to do.
“Yes. Master Bai, before I left this time, the Sect Master specially instructed us to establish a close and lasting relationship between the Xuan Sect and the Bai family,” She Qi said with a smile.
Bai Jie didn’t seem to notice She Qi’s bright smile. His tone was very cold. “A close and lasting relationship doesn’t necessarily have to be through marriage. Young Master She Qi, I think we’ve already discussed this matter very clearly.”
