Yao Yuan had read some ancient books before. Most of the time, the Night Pearls were precious because there were very few of them, and because of that, they were regarded as an essential part of the ancient times.

At most, he would just treat it as an ornament.

Not only was Yuan Jingxie highly valued, even someone like Xi Shulei who was normally not very concerned with other people's affairs seemed to be especially highly valued.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yao Yuan still didn't know what it was, so he decided to ask Xi Shulei and see what it was.

When he came to Xi Shulei's office, the latter did not expect Yao Yuan to come at this time either, and asked in shock: ”Why are you here?”

Yao Yuan did not answer, but went straight to the point, ”What is that Night Pearl used for?”

After all, Yuan Jingxie's words from before made Yao Yuan have a deep suspicion. If it really was as Yuan Jingxie had said, then the Night Pearl would not have belonged to Xi Shulei in the first place.

Xi Shulei looked into Yao Yuan's eyes and listened to what Yao Yuan had to say. After responding for a while, she asked, ”Why do you ask this?”

Yao Yuan didn't actually say anything related to Yuan Jingxie, but he said himself, ”I'm thinking that if it's just a Night Pearl, you shouldn't be so concerned about it. Perhaps there is some secret behind it?”

Xi Shulei waved his hand: ”I didn't want to tell you at first, but since you asked like that now, I will also tell you.”

He never thought that Xi Shulei would be so magnanimous. Yao Yuan had thought that she would decline, or rather, say rather perfunctory words.

”Actually, this Night Pearl is truly not simple.”

Xi Shulei began to slowly explain.

Or it could be said that the things in this world were more complicated than Yao Yuan had imagined.

Yao Yuan had always thought that everything in the world could be explained using science, but there were some relatively strange phenomena that were difficult to explain using common sense. For example, this Night Pearl.

The Night Pearl itself did not have any special features. It was just an ornament like it normally would, but in reality, it was enormous.

The Luminous Pearl contained a piece of information, and this information allowed a person to obtain information on some superpowers. It was not excessive to say that it was an effect of biological transformation.

Such a terrifying matter naturally attracted their attention. If they could successfully obtain this information and place it in a normal person's body, then in the end, an invincible person would appear.

This was the main point of their fight.

However, the most troublesome thing was that the key to opening the treasure box was missing.

”Back then, when Yuan Jingxie and I saw this Luminous Pearl, although I didn't understand, I still felt that it was extraordinary. Just as I was about to bring it back, Yuan Jingxie immediately stopped me and snatched it away from my hands.”

Xi Shulei said indifferently, ”This is the origin of this Night Pearl.”

In fact, Yao Yuan was a little unclear on who was the true one. Everyone said that the Night Pearl should have belonged to him, and that it was the other party who opened his eyes when he saw the treasure.

Seeing Xi Shulei's expression, Yao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, ”Since you don't even have the key, why bring it back? Since you don't know how to open this Night Pearl, why not forget about everything else.”

Xi Shulei shook his head and said, ”No, no, you don't know Yuan Jingxie. If he really makes use of the Night Pearl, the consequences would be dire.”

Adding on the time they were young, it was only the second time Yao Yuan and Yuan Jingxie had interacted. Although they couldn't guarantee who they were, it was certain that they were unlucky.
