Facing Yang Yuxin's request, Tang Wenji was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "Well... I'm truly sorry. Three Spirit Stones were placed inside the ancestral tablet. I only have one on hand right now."

So after discussing it, the Tang father and daughter decided that if anyone asked about the Spirit Stones, they would say they had only one, while the other three were in the ancestral tablet—indeed, if the trade for the fate stone had not come up later, that had been their original plan.
