He comforted Yunqi, saying, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. Don't cry, it's just that humans are too greedy... it's not your fault."
"But I'm still so sad... I used to have a happy family, a loving father and mother... Now I have nothing..." Yunqi couldn't stop her tears, "My father is dead, my mother was arrested... We were too weak, we possessed a treasure but couldn't protect it..."

"No way!" Yunqi refused. "My tears are worth a lot of money! I'm not giving them to you! If you really want one, I can sell it to you."
