Chapter: 5050

"So, she used her slender white hands to take out a small, unremarkable bronze ring from the pouch."

"As soon as she took out the ring from the pouch, Leaf Chen felt a very rare yet extremely familiar feeling."

"This made him immediately realize that this small ring was just like his Thunderbolt and Soul-slaying Sword, also a magical artifact!"

"This is also the first time Leaf Chen saw a real magical artifact in someone else's hand."

"He even thought that this girl might have spiritual energy like himself, so he unconsciously split out some spiritual energy to quietly investigate her."

"But after investigating her, he didn't find any hint of spiritual energy related to her at all."

"That is to say, this girl absolutely has no spiritual energy and couldn't possibly be a fellow traveler with Leaf Chen."

"So Leaf Chen couldn't help but ask her, 'Little girl, where did you get this ring?'"

"The girl whispered, 'This ring was left by my father.'"

"Leaf Chen asked again, 'Did your father tell you anything special about this ring?'"

"No way." The girl said seriously, "My father just told me that this ring is not ordinary and I must keep it safe. I'm not allowed to let it fall into someone else's hands."

She paused for a moment, then looked up at Leaf Chen with a determined tone: "If you can help me and my grandfather escape today, I'll give you this ring. After all, this thing has no effect on me as long as I have it, but it will only bring trouble. If I give it to you, we'll find a safe place to hide and won't be bothered again."

The old man was taken aback for a moment and couldn't say anything. He stared at the girl with wide eyes, warning her not to be so impulsive.

But the girl just smiled bitterly and said, "Grandfather, this thing is beyond our power to protect. If we leave it behind, it won't even be safe from those bad people."

She looked at him firmly and said: "It's better to give it to this gentleman! I think this gentleman has a kind face and will definitely not let it fall into the wrong hands. And with his extensive abilities, he should be able to keep this ring safe!"

Leaf Chen asked her curiously: "Little girl, if your father told you that you mustn't let it fall into bad people's hands, then don't you fear I'm one of those bad people?"

"No." The girl shook her head seriously and said: "I believe you're not here for the ring. And even if you're not completely selfless in helping me and my grandfather, at least a part of your reason is to help us, so I can be sure that you're not a bad person."

Leaf Chen didn't respond, but instead looked at the ring in her hand.

In his heart, Leaf Chen did have some longing for this ring.

After all, it was his first time seeing a magical artifact in someone else's hands, and he really wanted to know what kind of special powers it had.

So he said to the girl, "Alright! I agree with you!" He then turned his words and said, "However, before I agree with you, I have something else to explain to you."

The girl hurriedly said, "Please go on, sir!"

Leaf Chen spoke softly, saying, "That is, after tonight, you may forget everything that has happened. If you find that the ring your father left for you and entrusted to you is lost, or perhaps you will live with guilt and self-blame from then on. Do you think you're okay with that?"

The girl blinked slightly, then nodded and said, "I'm fine! As long as this ring remains on my person, I won't have such good luck next time with grandfather either."

"Good." Leaf Chen saw her agree, so he also spoke very readily, saying, "Then we've reached an agreement." JrNovels.com
