Although Ye Youlong didn’t know what exactly this seed was,
from the seed’s current performance, its grade was definitely very high. As for how high, it was indescribable, but it had already exceeded their understanding.
Such an item, if it could be cultivated, must be cultivated, because perhaps one day, they would need to use it.
Skills never weigh down the body.
Similarly, trump cards never weigh down the body.
Xiao Zhan secured the seed and turned his attention to Ye Youlong, then said, "May I ask about the kind of Secret Realm this is. Such a small amount of soil can’t possibly be all of the Secret Realm Origin. If we can find it all, perhaps this seed can be completely germinated."
As for the seed growing up?
Xiao Zhan did not dare to harbor such extravagant hopes; after all, the last ti in Fushan Secret Realm, the lake was drained, and the seed only sprouted a tiny tender shoot.
So this ti, if the Secret Realm Origin was successfully located, Xiao Zhan would be very content if the tender shoot could sprout just two leaves.
At the sa ti.
In another room.
Su Mulan was having a serious conversation with Liu Xin.
"Did sothing happen between you and Xiao Zhan?" Su Mulan got straight to the point.
Liu Xin did not expect that she wanted to talk about this and was a little unprepared, but she quickly cald down. A trace of bitterness ford at the corner of her mouth, "I actually wish sothing would happen between him and ."
"How could you be like this? He has already signed the Life and Death Contract with Ye Youlong." Su Mulan’s voice rose a few notches, shocked to realize that Liu Xin indeed had an affair with Xiao Zhan.
"So what if they’ve signed? I’m not without chances."
Such blatant confidence, Su Mulan was stunned to hear these words.
She had known Liu Xin for so long and never expected her to say such a thing.
"They are bound by the Life and Death Contract, destined to be inseparable. Why do you insist on ddling? By doing so, you’ll only destroy them and gain no benefit at all!"
"How would I know if I don’t try?" Liu Xin retorted.
She didn’t reveal Xiao Zhan’s ability to hold multiple Contracts because doing so would only be detrintal to her.
Su Mulan looked into Liu Xin’s eyes, not expecting her to be so stubborn.
The mories of her acquaintance with Liu Xin flashed through her mind, thinking of their heartfelt exchanges, she suddenly understood why Liu Xin was doing this.
She sighed, "I know your goal is to find a powerful man to fulfill the desires in your heart, but can’t you choose soone else? There are so many n in this world, and you and Xiao Zhan simply have no hope."
Her words were earnest and heartfelt.
But Liu Xin wouldn’t listen at all.
Or perhaps, she simply did not want to.
She stared straight at Su Mulan, her tone very calm, "You don’t understand, you don’t know him."
"You know him, so you’re going to be a howrecker?"
"Howrecker?" Liu Xin chuckled lightly, "I certainly won’t be the other woman."
"Then why do you still act this way?"
"I can just be the lesser."
After saying this, Liu Xin left Su Mulan, who was utterly dumbfounded, and walked out of the room.
There was no need to continue the conversation with Su Mulan; their stances were completely different.
Coming out of the room, Liu Xin didn’t head to Xiao Zhan’s room because she wanted so peace to organize her thoughts.
This conversation would be her last with Xiao Zhan; if she didn’t seize the opportunity well, she would never have the chance to Contract with Xiao Zhan again.
However, Xiao Zhan sensed she had left the room and proactively ca out to find her.
"Shall we talk?" Xiao Zhan got straight to the point.
"The specifics of a solution, I cannot see right now. My strength is too weak; maybe when I beco stronger, I’ll be able to see a way out," Liu Xin said very directly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s face did not show much surprise, nor did it show any anger from being deceived; instead, there was just a touch of lancholy.
"Did you guess I would say this?" Liu Xin asked.
"I had considered you might say this." Xiao Zhan nodded, he would simulate all possible outcos when thinking through problems.
So as to be psychologically prepared for the worst.
However, even though he was prepared, hearing Liu Xin say this, his face involuntarily dimd.
He let out a soft sigh, yet still asked with a glimr of hope, "Once you beco stronger, will you be able to see a solution?"
"Yes."
Liu Xin answered with certainty.
But only she knew that it wasn’t certain, perhaps it was ninety-nine percent uncertain.
Because her Talent Skill was to perceive weaknesses, and not to find solutions to those weaknesses simultaneously.
She said this mostly to comfort Xiao Zhan.
Of course, it was also to give Xiao Zhan hope, thereby increasing the possibility of her Contracting with him.
Xiao Zhan smiled at her words, indiscernibly whether he believed her or not.
He turned and walked back the way he ca.
Having gotten an answer, there was no need to stay.
"Wait." Liu Xin called out to him.
"If it’s about the Contract, you needn’t say it. I won’t Contract with you," Xiao Zhan, without turning back, simply stopped walking.
Liu Xin swallowed what she was about to say.
It seed as if Xiao Zhan knew what she wanted to say and preemptively blocked her words.
A trace of despair flashed in Liu Xin’s eyes; it was like having affections for soone and being unceremoniously rejected before even confessing.
For a mont, Liu Xin didn’t know what to say.
She wanted to fight to stay, but she knew that showing a servile side now would only cause greater disgust.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back," Xiao Zhan said.
"That night..."
Liu Xin hesitated, not knowing what to say. After much deliberation, she asked, "You had lost your senses that night, right? Why were you still able to push away at the critical mont?"
Liu Xin was conscious at that ti, and she rembered it very clearly.
At that mont, she thought she had succeeded, but to her surprise, the next second, Xiao Zhan shoved her away.
It was bewildering to her at the ti.
So she wanted to know why.
Hearing this question, the gloomy clouds over Xiao Zhan seed to part for the sun, and everything beca clear.
He turned his head, his gaze lingering on Liu Xin’s prominent figure.
Liu Xin didn’t dodge, instead, she puffed out her chest, hoping Xiao Zhan would look.
If Xiao Zhan wished, she was even willing to strip for him.
But Xiao Zhan was obviously not interested in that; he only lingered for a half second before turning his head away.
A light, scornful laugh escaped his lips, and as he walked, he said, "Because she has the shape I’m familiar with."
