When the man in the red robe and green hat heard her say that, his eyes darted around, and he said, "Little girl, I agree with your method."
"But then another problem arises: how should we decide on this order? After all, all three of us can see the Purple Light, so it's safe to say that it's connected to all three of us."
"Time is tight right now, so let's decide by drawing lots," Yun Xi pondered.
"How can such a casual decision determine the ownership of such a treasure?" The manor lord stared at the Purple Light with a deep gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
"Lord of the Prefecture, time is of the essence, and there is no foolproof plan."
"Although this lottery is simple, it is entirely based on luck. It is a fair method. Moreover, it is only a matter of the order in which the Purple Crystal is touched, and it may not necessarily determine who owns the treasure."
Yun Xi this suggestion because she was confident in her own luck.
The man in the red robe smiled and said, "I think it's feasible. Let's do it this way."
The manor lord pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
"I happen to have a die here. Whoever rolls the higher number goes first to touch the Purple Crystal." The manor lord took out a glittering golden die.
The red-robed man with green robes was displeased upon hearing this. "This is your spiritual object. You get to decide what number this die will roll."
Lord Yu: "I can sign a system contract with the two of you to guarantee that I won't cheat. Is that alright?"
The man in the red robe curled his lip and said suspiciously, "Who knows if there are any loopholes in the contract you drafted? What if it's another of your schemes?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yun Xi stepped in to smooth things over, "Since the Lord of the Manor is willing to sign the contract of succession, we might as well give it a try. But the contents of the contract must be clear and precise, without any ambiguity."
The lord nodded and said, "That's natural."
So the three of them began to discuss the specific terms of the contract, and each clause was carefully considered and confirmed.
Once the contract was drafted, the head of the manor was the first to sign it.
Seeing this, the man in red robes and green robes finally felt a little relieved of his doubts.
After the contract was signed, the lord handed the dice to the red-robed man in green robes and said, "You go first."
The man in the red robe and green hat took the dice, took a deep breath, and threw it forcefully. The dice rolled on the ground a few times before finally stopping, displaying a number.
Next, it was Yun Xi's turn. She picked up the dice, tossed them gently, and the dice landed on the ground.
In the end, the red-robed man in green rolled a 'three', the manor lord rolled a 'four', and Yun Xi rolled a 'one'.
Yun Xi was puzzled. With her luck stat exceeding the maximum, it was impossible for her to roll such a number.
Furthermore, due to the system contract, the other two cannot cheat, so the problem is...
Yun Xi's gaze swept over the purple light spot. Could it be because... if she touched the Purple Crystal first, she would be in big trouble?
The lord of the manor saw that he had rolled the highest number and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "It seems that this Purple Light is destined for me."
The man in the red robe snorted coldly, "Don't be too happy yet, who knows what will happen next."
Yun Xi had calmed down. Now that things had developed this way, she wanted to see what kind of changes would occur next.
The manor lord strode forward, preparing to reach out and touch the purple light spot.
Yun Xi and the red-robed Qingyi stared intently at her movements, and the atmosphere became tense once again.
However, when the man actually touched the purple light spot, the manor lord's expression suddenly darkened.
Her pupils contracted, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Yun Xi and the Red Robe Youth exchanged a glance, seeing doubt and wariness in each other's eyes.
"Old woman, what's wrong?" the Red Robe Youth couldn't help but ask.
"This Purple Crystal..." Before she could finish speaking, a powerful force erupted from the Purple Crystal, directly blasting the manor lord away.
The defensive magical artifacts on the manor shattered suddenly, and she fell heavily to the ground, her face as pale as paper.
Yun Xi and the Red Robe Youth's expressions changed, and they quickly retreated.
A mysterious and powerful force burst forth from the Purple Light, carrying endless pressure and unknown fear.
Light burst forth from the Purple Crystal, illuminating the entire space and making everything around it appear so small and fragile.
Where this power was applied, the air seemed to freeze, forming ripples visible to the naked eye.
Yun Xi was so overwhelmed by the force that she couldn't move. The light was so dazzling that it stung her eyes.
The Red Robe Youth was in the same situation; his legs felt as if they were being pressed down by lead weights, and he could not move an inch.
The power continued to increase, emitting deep, rumbling sounds, like thunder exploding in one's ears.
The woman struggled to sit up, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth; the touch had just caused her a severe injury.
The Red Robe Youth also had a very solemn expression, but he was indeed unwilling to give up on the Purple Crystal just like that.
His eyes were fixed on the Purple Crystal that radiated a mysterious and powerful energy, his heart filled with a mixture of longing and resentment.
Although that power made him wary, the more it was like that, the more it meant that the Purple Light contained the spiritual object he knew so well, and he couldn't easily give it up.
In the blink of an eye, the power emanating from the Purple Crystal receded.
This sudden change caught all three of them off guard.
The space, which had just been enveloped by that powerful force, instantly returned to calm, as if everything before had been just an illusion.
The Red Robe Youth was taken aback at first, but then hope rekindled in his eyes.
The three of them just signed a contract, which not only prohibits them from cheating when rolling the dice, but also stipulates that when the three of them take turns touching the Purple Crystal after the result is rolled, the other two must not interfere.
Therefore, when the Red Robe Youth stepped forward, the lord of the manor could only remain still.
It's better to give that little girl the spiritual item than to the Red Robe Youth.
The lord's beautiful face was full of gloom. Although she was unwilling, the contract forced her to suppress her impulses for the time being.
The Red Robe Youth took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand towards the Purple Crystal.
Yun Xi stood to the side, observing intently, wondering what might happen next.
The Red Robe Youth finally touched the Purple Crystal with his finger, and time seemed to stand still at that moment. However, nothing unusual happened.
The Red Robe Youth first showed a hint of surprise on his face, then became confused.
Because... Purple Crystal completely ignored the Red Robe Youth.
The Red Robe Youth increased the pressure on his hands, trying to force a connection with the Purple Crystal, but the Purple Crystal remained unresponsive, like a cold and unfeeling stone.
