A Little Unusual?

Only Ye An and Zhao Xuanji remained in the Main Hall.

Zhao Xuanji sat in the seat of honor. This time, his gaze fell directly on Ye An's ring, with no attempt to hide it.

He recalled a story from the Sect's secret records and asked, puzzled,

"Where did you get that ring on your hand?"

His ring had been spotted at a glance, but Ye An did not panic. He answered truthfully, "On Greenrock Mountain. I found it in a Secret Cache left behind by the Song Family."

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanji pondered for a moment. Then, drawing on what he knew from the secret records, he said slowly, "That ring belongs to the Four Symbols Sect."

At those words, Ye An moved to take it off and return it.

He was reluctant, but he did not think he could bargain with Zhao Xuanji.

Noticing what Ye An was doing, Zhao Xuanji hurriedly waved him off.

"No need. Since you found it, it is your fortune."

"It is rather unusual, but not particularly precious. It simply has some remarkable properties."

"It is useless to the strong, but it can keep a small Lineage from declining for a long time."

"These rings should come as a pair. I won't ask where the other one is."

Zhao Xuanji considered his wording again before continuing. "You should know that the Four Symbols Sect migrated here. Back then, our Sect gave this ring to a Lineage we were supporting so they could carry out certain tasks."

"That Lineage was the Song Family."

"Never mind. There's no need to dwell on the past."

Ye An glanced at the ring on his hand and offered some flattery. "Sect Master, you're truly learned and powerful. You saw through its mysteries at a glance."
