As for why Lin Ziqi said that, it's because his mother was not from around there. She brought him to live there, and he didn't know who his father was as his mother had never told him.
He used to ask, but his mother told him not to, so he never asked about his father again.
His mother only told him to keep the jade safe and not lose it, so he always remembered that and never parted with it.
If it weren't for Qin Xue taking it, the jade would never have left his side.
But now he's being told there might be something going on with it, making his strange feeling even stronger.
"Forget it, it's pointless to ask. I'm leaving. By the way, don't do things like that anymore. Life's unpredictable, and you never know when you'll slip up. If you get caught by someone more skilled, you'll end up in prison. Once you're in, getting out and finding freedom isn't easy." Qin Xue knew that in this era, going to prison made it difficult to regain freedom.
