Hearing this, Hua Yunfei grew even more suspicious that the system had made the hairpin disappear.
Could something belonging to a Progenitor just vanish for no reason?
He didn't believe it.
If the system had done it, then it all made sense.
[Is that really what you think of me, Brother System?]
"It's just strange, that's all. I never said it had to be you. Don't get worked up," Hua Yunfei replied.
[I'm not worked up.]
"Fine, fine, you're not worked up. I was just saying."
[I really am not worked up!]
"..."
In the end, Hua Yunfei had to pull out three photo albums before he could barely appease the system.
"Master, if I can find the missing hairpin, do you think I could trade it with Yue Ning Progenitor for that thing?" Hua Yunfei asked.
"In theory, yes." Moon Emperor considered it for a moment. "But it also depends on what you want to trade for."
"If it's some crucial treasure, she probably won't agree."
Hua Yunfei nodded. Indeed, if the hairpin held only sentimental value, then no matter how precious it was, there would be a limit to its worth. Yue Ning Progenitor couldn't possibly trade away anything at any cost just to get it back.
Moon Emperor looked at Hua Yunfei. "Are you sure that thing is with Yue Ning Progenitor?"
Hua Yunfei shook his head. "The only ones still connected to Haoyue Progenitor are the Moon Clan and Yue Ning Progenitor. The thing isn't with the Moon Clan, so it should be with Yue Ning Progenitor. This disciple is more inclined to believe the latter."
Moon Emperor nodded. If it were her, she would favor the latter too. After all, Yue Ning Progenitor's cultivation was there for all to see, and any treasure she possessed
