Lu Yin had no idea how much inner turmoil Chen Le had gone through.
It was a choice with no turning back. There were three sides: Luo Jun, Mr. Daheng, and Lu Yin. Chen Le had to choose one. Once exposed, he would never be able to deal with the other two again. It was as if he were staking his life on this choice.
If Chen Le had only recently joined Zizai Hall, he would definitely have chosen Mr. Daheng. But after speaking with Lu Yin, he had developed many misgivings, and they left his mind in chaos.
Half a month later, Chen Le met with Luo Jun.
Luo Jun examined the stone in his hand. "This is the treasure you said you couldn't figure out how to use?"
"I came across it by chance, but experts at my level fought over it," Chen Le said. "It happened on the Boundless Battlefield. Even a Corpse King from the Eternal Clan had its eye on me. Perhaps it was because of this stone. I studied it for a long time, but couldn't make anything of it, so I can only ask you to take a look, Lord Luo Jun."
Luo Jun studied the stone, his gaze puzzled. "Have someone investigate the location depicted in this landscape. If it really is a treasure, the secret should be there. But this stone is only a piece of it, and we don't know how large the whole thing is. With just this small fragment of the image, it'll be hard to find the place." He tossed it back to Chen Le. "Look into it when you have time."
Chen Le hadn't expected Luo Jun to refuse it. How could that work? He had to give the stone to Luo Jun, or Mr. Daheng
