Ruan Hanqiu was completely bewildered, and the two Supreme Beings sitting beside her were also at a loss for words.
It seems the words of the Daoless Holy Land were true; this self-destructing Celestial Venerable is truly unreasonable.
Ruan Hanqiu was conflicted; to be honest, he didn't want to give it to them.
Seeing this, Junlin raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Hurry up and give it to me, I'm in a hurry, you know? Do you know that your little action could save the world?"
Ruan Hanqiu: "..."
He even started saving the world. If the bead in his hand can really save the world, then why can't he be the one to save it?
The two supreme beings beside him twitched at the corners of their eyes.
In order to justify stealing things, they even went so far as to say things like "saving the world," which is truly laughable.
Can I refuse to give it to you?
After a long silence, Ruan Hanqiu couldn't help but ask.
What do you think?
Junlin looked speechless. He had thought it would go smoothly, after all, his illustrious reputation had already spread far and wide.
But to my surprise, Ruan Hanqiu was still unwilling. Is this the backbone of the Holy Capital as a scion of one of the three ancient aristocratic families?
Ruan Hanqiu sighed deeply, then flipped her hand, revealing a crystal-clear bead to everyone.
Within the beads are jungles, streams, and rivers...
Clearly, this is indeed a fragment of a world treasure!
The two supreme beings sitting to the side looked at the precious pearl in Ruan Hanqiu's hand and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment, because they didn't recognize it and had never heard Ruan Hanqiu mention it.
However, this also shows that this treasure must be extremely rare, otherwise Ruan Hanqiu wouldn't have kept it a secret from both of them.
Looking at the precious pearl in her hand, Ruan Hanqiu slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, it's not that I don't want to give it, but I also have my own difficulties."
Even his two longtime friends beside him were unaware that he possessed this precious jewel.
Over the years, he has devoted himself to exploring the secrets of this precious pearl, hoping to reclaim his Daoist partner's soul from it.
But to this day, no solution has been found.
Now is the time for him to make a choice: to offend King's Landing and leave the pearl behind, or to hand it over to King's Landing and avoid this undeserved disaster.
He wanted to go his own way, but as a member of the Ruan family and the city lord of Hanyan City, he had too many things to consider.
"Do you know that I obtained this precious pearl because of an accident? But that accident, while giving me this pearl, also caused me to lose my Daoist partner. Now, my partner's soul exists within this pearl, and I..."
"I don't have time to listen to your stories, give it to me!"
Jun Lin flashed and appeared directly in front of Ruan Hanqiu, reaching out to snatch the precious pearl from her hand.
Ruan Hanqiu was startled and immediately tried to take it back, as he hadn't yet decided whether or not to hand it over.
At the same time, Er Yan frowned slightly, and an invisible pressure suddenly acted on Ruan Hanqiu, causing Ruan Hanqiu's movements to falter.
In that brief moment of pause, the jewel fell into King's Landing's hands.
Junlin played with the precious pearl in his hand and said, "I've heard your story and your partner's story several times on the way here."
The origin of the name Hanyan City and the love story of the city lord and his wife have always been topics that Hanyan City never tires of discussing.
You could hear it from inside Qingfeng Tower, and on the way here.
Ruan Hanqiu opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist, I don't know what you want this bead for, but if you know how to use it or can explore the contents of it, could you help me find Yan'er's soul?"
After pondering for a moment, Junlin said, "Tsk! To be honest, logically speaking, since I obtained this precious pearl from you, I should indeed help you with this small favor."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hanqiu was immediately a little excited.
Ruan Hanqiu's two closest friends also stood up. As Ruan Hanqiu's friends of many years, they naturally knew Yan'er and felt sorry for her death.
But just then, Junlin suddenly grinned and said, "But I'm not one to play by the rules, so... I refuse!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hanqiu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her heart, and her previously excited heart instantly turned cold.
Er Yan couldn't help but laugh and said to Er Rou, "See? This guy is really wicked, and you're still foolish enough to think he's a good person."
Errou wrinkled her nose. "If my brother-in-law is so bad, why did you become his Daoist partner?"
"..."
For a moment, Er Yan didn't know how to reply. Looking at Er Rou's innocent expression, she reached out and pinched the other's little face hard. "Oh, so you're teasing your older sister now, huh?"
"Ugh~ Sister's bad!" Errou shouted incoherently.
Unfortunately, this heartwarming scene did not bring warmth to the members of Ruan Hanqiu's camp present.
At that moment, all they felt was noise.
Looking at the precious pearl in Jun Lin's hand, Ruan Hanqiu felt an urge to snatch it back.
Just as he was about to take action, Junlin said, "But I'm not an unreasonable person. If you're asking me for a favor, you should at least give me something in return, right? I can't help you for nothing, can I?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hanqiu immediately understood Jun Lin's meaning. Wasn't this an attempt to steal... the deal?!
"Do you know how to use this precious pearl?"
Ruan Hanqiu quickly asked, "If Jun Lin really knows how to use this pearl, what's wrong with paying a price?"
"have no idea."
Ruan Hanqiu: "..."
He felt he was about to break down. Was Junlin going too far by treating him like a fool time and time again?
"Don't rush, just because I don't know doesn't mean my wife doesn't know either. Let me ask first." Jun Lin said, turning to look at Er Yan, "If there's a soul inside, can you take it out?"
"You thought of me at this time?" Er Yan said, his hands on his wrists. "It's possible, but I can't guarantee that his Daoist partner's soul is still inside."
“You heard that too, right? We can help, but are you sure your Daoist partner’s soul is inside?” Jun Lin asked Ruan Hanqiu.
Ruan Hanqiu immediately nodded and said, "I'm sure! She must be inside."
"So what do you mean?" Junlin extended his hand.
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is, I want you to give me something in return."
"Oh! I understand!"
Ruan Hanqiu then realized what was happening and took out a spatial ring, handing it to Jun Lin.
Junlin put away the spatial ring and handed the pearl to Eryan.
Er Yan held the orb and activated it in a short while, and a soft, flowing light surrounded the orb.
In an instant, images of forests, mountains, and rivers appeared, and traces of many monsters could also be seen.
Ruan Hanqiu was a little excited. It was actually true. Jun Lin hadn't lied to him!
These images were exactly the same as the secret place in his memory.
After a long while.
Er Yan frowned and put away the pearl. "There are traces of many demonic beasts inside, but no human souls."
