"Zolyrous," she mumbled reading the small engraving on the inside of the ring, after stroking it.
Fu Xie Lan who heard Xue Ning's mutter staggered backward, suddenly her head throbbed in pain. Luckily Wan Lie imdiately caught his mother's body before it fell.
What Xue Ning had just said kept ringing in her head. Sohow she felt very familiar with that na.
"What happened?" asked Xue Ning approaching.
Fu Xie Lan massaged her throbbing head, trying to normalize her feelings and also as much as possible to endure the sudden pain that assaulted her.
"Shouldn't we just go back?" Zhou asked.
"No, it's okay, I'm fine now," Fu Xie Lan replied, and imdiately let go of Wan Lie's hands on her body and tried to stand up straight.
"Fine, if that's what you want," Zhou replied.
"If it wasn't for Miss Xie Lan, I wouldn't have known that a room like this existed," he added then looked around.
There was nothing in the room other than a magic item and a piece of red rock floating in a glass case that was right in the middle of the room.
The size of the room itself is not too wide, with shades of brown, anyone can see so parts of the walls are peeling off. This indicates that the place has not been touched in a very long ti.
Even the contents of the only glass case in the room could not be seen clearly unless one looked closely, for the dust-filled each side, and was slightly thickened.
Not only that, but the shelves filled with magic items also experienced the sa thing. Very dusty.
Fu Xie Lan who managed to normalize her feelings cleared her throat softly. Then approached the glass box which was right next to Zhou.
"This also belongs to the Wang family?" the girl asked pretending not to know. She was very sure, the stone in front of her was the ruby star stone she was looking for.
"Maybe yes, Miss. Everything in this room belongs to the Wang family. It's just that I don't know where my ancestors got all these magical items," Zhou replied imdiately.
"May I have this stone please?" Said Fu Xie Lan while cleaning the glass box using the sleeves of the dress she was wearing so that she could see its contents.
Hearing this, Zhou was silent. Don't know how to answer. He did allow them to take the magic stone from the previous room.
But if it was in this room, just seeing its hidden existence had already told him indirectly that what was in this room was guarded by those ancestors, to the point where they didn't tell anyone about this room's whereabouts.
And what his ancestors guarded, he couldn't possibly leave it to others at will, could he?
Zhou hesitated. His tongue felt numb and heavy even though he only made a sound.
Fu Xie Lan who saw Zhou's response sighed faintly.
It seems this ti he has to sacrifice sothing to get the thing in front of him, or maybe with an offer? Of course, the offer is by the value of the ruby star stone.
"Zhou, why are you silent?" asked Xue Ning.
"T-that...." the man stuttered.
"I-I'm not sure about your request, Miss," Zhou replied.
"What do you an? Say it clearly, don't talk like that. Even I can't digest it well," Xue Ning said at that very second.
Fu Xie Lan who heard the interaction of the two figures took a deep breath.
"Alright, how about I have an offer for you?"
Instantly all eyes were on Fu Xie Lan.
"Xie Lan what do you an?" asked Xue Ning.
"Offer? What do you an, Miss?" Zhou asked almost at the sa ti as Xue Ning's words.
"I know, you can't give this stone that easily. Even your predecessors didn't tell anyone about this room. That ans he cares about everything in this room, right?" Guessed Fu Xie Lan with a finger tapping on the glass case.
Zhou just nodded, his thoughts turned out to be the sa as the girl.
"That's why I want to make an offer with you, but in return, I want this stone," said Fu Xie Lan again.
"What kind of offer do you an, Miss?" Zhou asked, and it managed to make Fu Xie Lan smile faintly behind the cloth covering her face.
"Your father."
Instantly everyone froze on the spot, even Zhou.
"What do you an, Miss? My father? I don't understand what you're trying to tell ," Zhou replied in a trembling voice.
"Give this stone, and I will bring back your father," Fu Xie Lan replied casually.
Zhou froze on the spot, trying to digest what the girl in front of him was saying. Bring his Dad? Is there a hearing problem?
"Miss, are you serious? Did you say you would bring my father back into this family?" Zhou asked again to make sure.
Fu Xie Lan just nodded in approval.
"But... Miss, that Jun Family Clan..."
"I don't need your explanation, I just need your answer. Do you agree or not?" said Fu Xie Lan.
"Agreed, Miss. I agree with your offer," the man replied at once.
"Alright, then from now on this stone will be mine," said Fu Xie Lan holding up the dusty glass box.
Xue Ning, Wan Lie, and the others just listened and paid attention to Zhou and Fu Xie Lan's conversation, no one interrupted, except Xue Ning before but the girl imdiately stopped when she realized that what Fu Xie Lan was about to say was sothing important.
"Thank you, Miss," said Zhou imdiately bowing. He knew that all these things belonged to his ancestors and were also highly guarded by them. It's just, right now all the things in this room are worthless when compared to his father's life. Because his father's safety is paramount.
"No need to thank , after all this is just an offer that makes both of us mutually beneficial," Fu Xie Lan replied then reached into her cosmic bag and took the Voltex out of it.
The vibrating object in the girl's hand for a mont caught Zhou's attention and raised various questions in his mind, especially when he saw the stone that was previously in the glass case slowly moving towards the velvet box in Fu Xie Lan's hand. A box in which it turns out that there is the sa stone.
Suddenly a flash of light was created from the object and then disappeared. It shows three pieces of ruby star stone in a box that have fused to form one piece of an incomplete star.
Although many questions were pressing on Zhou's head, the man just kept them to himself.. He had no right to interfere in the wizard's business.
