Chen Lin found Yun Xiumian's explanation hard to accept.
He frowned. "That's impossible, isn't it? Spirit treasures don't seem to possess such miraculous power. Could it be one of those legendary innate spirit treasures?"

She had told him this before. Bringing it up again now was clearly her way of preventing him from becoming suspicious and thinking
