The moment the talisman was affixed, the piercing and unpleasant sound of the suona horn vanished completely.
Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she slowly exhaled.
However, before Yun Qin could finish catching her breath, Yun Jing's voice suddenly rang out.
"The Xu family members have all been subdued and captured, and the kids have all behaved themselves. There's no need to brag anymore."
Yun Qin was stunned and looked over stiffly.
Xu Xingzhi and his entourage, who were nearly half-dead from being walked around, were dragged along by a group of kids, who pulled and shoved them along the way.
They were thrown to the ground like dead dogs.
They were all collapsed on the ground, exhausted and only able to breathe.
They have completely lost their fighting capacity.
Rong Zi put a Spirit-Replenishing Pill into Yun Jing's mouth and praised, "Great job."
As she spoke, she nudged Gu Xiaochui beside her with her other hand and whispered something to him.
"Spoils of war".
Gu Xiaochui immediately understood, and dragged Ling Mo and Qi Yufei forward to openly search Xu Xingzhi and the others for their belongings.
Yun Qin stared wide-eyed at Rong Zi and asked, word by word, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"What do you mean, intentionally? I don't understand what you're saying." Rong Zi looked completely innocent.
When Yun Qin saw that she was pretending to be stupid, she felt like killing her.
Her face flushed red and then turned pale. She raised her hand and pointed angrily at Yun Jing, "You...you knew he was almost done playing the trick, so you were willing to sell this talisman to me, weren't you?"
She spent a full five thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy this talisman!
It stopped working as soon as I applied it?
Is Rong Zi just playing with her?!
Rong Zi blinked and answered irrelevantly, "You insisted on buying this talisman yourself. It's a cash transaction, no returns or exchanges."
Yun Qin: "..."
She definitely did it on purpose!
Gu Xiaochui and Qi Yufei handed over everything they had looted from Xu Xingzhi and his group to Rong Zi.
"All the spoils are here."
Rong Zi did a quick check.
Besides the Ghost Yin Stone, there are also dozens of storage rings.
Wow, that's quite a lot of loot!
Rong Zi did not give these things to Yun Jing, but planned to keep them for herself.
"As we agreed before, all the spoils of war would belong to my junior brother, so I'll keep these things on his behalf for now."
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
The spirit stones I got from selling the talismans earlier weren't much.
But if she gave all these things to Yun Jing in front of everyone, someone might get greedy.
Although everyone was a little reluctant, the ownership of the spoils had been agreed upon from the beginning, so they couldn't say anything.
Yun Qin was so jealous that her eyes turned red when she saw Rong Zi take so many things.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly muttered something to herself in a low voice.
"I wonder if the Xu family's Floating Worry Fruit is with Xu Xing..."
Upon hearing Yun Qin's words, everyone present's eyes lit up.
Before Rong Zi could put away his spoils, someone immediately stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Zi stopped packing up.
Someone said, "You can take all these spoils, but we want to see what's inside Xu Xingzhi's spatial ring."
"If there are any Floating Sorrow Fruits inside, you cannot take them; they must be distributed separately."
Rong Zi narrowed her eyes and glanced at them, asking, "Are you... going back on your word?"
"No, it's just that the Floating Worry Fruit is different, and you can't keep it all to yourself."
The Ghost Yin Stone is considered an ominous object, but they don't care.
But the floating worry fruit is different.
The fruit of the Floating Worry is too precious.
If Fuyou is indeed in Xu Xingzhi's hands, it absolutely cannot be taken away by Rong Zi like this.
Rong Zi countered, "What if there's no Floating Sorrow Fruit in here?"
"If you don't have it, you can take everything."
Rong Zi readily agreed.
"Alright, since you want to see, then go ahead. Not only Xu Xingzhi's spatial ring, but all the spatial rings here are open for viewing."
"Furthermore, if there really are any of those 'Floating Sorrow Fruits' in here, I promise I won't take a single one. You can divide them however you want."
Everyone was a little surprised that Rong Zi agreed so easily.
The Floating Worry Fruit is so precious, doesn't she want to have it?
Rong Zi's current straightforwardness makes them seem a bit excessive.
After all, they had just agreed that all the spoils would go to her junior brother.
Doing this now is indeed going back on your word.
What surprised them even more was that Rong Zi only kept the ominous Ghost Yin Stone, while handing over all the remaining storage rings to them for them to inspect.
At that moment, they suddenly felt a pain in their faces.
Just moments ago, they were inwardly condemning Rong Zi for taking advantage of the situation to sell talismans and earn their spirit stones.
But now I feel a little guilty towards her...
They don't even care about treasures like the Floating Worry Fruit, so why would they care about their little bit of spirit stones?
Could they... have misunderstood Rong Zi?
Rong Zi's disciples looked at everyone's reactions, and their expressions were somewhat subtle.
Of course, their master didn't care about Fuyouguo.
Because there is no Floating Worry Fruit in it at all.
But their spirit stones are different.
Because of the spirit stones... they really do have them...
Despite feeling guilty, the group still gritted their teeth and thoroughly inspected all the dozens of storage rings.
To prevent anyone from hiding anything, they even emptied out everything and checked each item one by one.
