Then what is the effect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My conclusion, based on the hypothesis, was now broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qiu Ruxin's bad luck was due to this Transcendent Item, then this side effect was continuous, as Qiu Ruxin was unlucky at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the effect was highly likely also continuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this didn't rule out other possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of making baseless guesses, I chose a more direct method: to ask Qiu Ruxin directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What problem couldn't be solved by asking the person involved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was no longer the type to simply brainstorm, self-deduce, and work in isolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was also learning to try various possibilities by combining efficient methods with practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, I left my room, holding the pendant, and knocked on Qiu Ruxin's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, a questioning voice came from inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was not loud, suggesting the guest room had good sound insulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me, Little Han Sis.\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Han Sis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the familiar voice, the door was immediately opened a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gaze peeked through the gap, and only after confirming it was really me was the door fully opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Han Sis! Are you done with your work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin looked at me excitedly, then her gaze instinctively fell on the pendant, and her pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's talk inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't answer her but gestured to go inside first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, some topics couldn't be overheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be a secret for Qiu Ruxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin nodded obediently and let me in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw that my expression was not very relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the room, I subconsciously checked the various spell arrangements in Qiu Ruxin's room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no signs of being triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a wave of my hand, a small Soundproof Spell enveloped the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Little Han Sis, did you come to me for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin broke the silence and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I do have a question I'd like to ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? There's no need for 'asking for advice,' is there? If Little Han Sis has anything to ask, just ask. If I know the answer, I'll tell you truthfully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll get straight to the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded and walked over to a convenient place to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I lifted the emerald green pendant in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu Ruxin, do you know what this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This? Isn't this my pendant? A few days ago, I asked Little Han Sis to turn it into... into a 'summoning device' for summoning Little Han Sis...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that's right. I did plan to do that a few days ago, but I'm sorry, I haven't finished yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not finished... did it fail? It's okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of disappointment flashed in Qiu Ruxin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, as if she thought it was normal, and she even showed a little concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It didn't fail. I just haven't started trying. For the past few days, I've been practicing with other things. I will only truly start after I'm sure there will be no mistakes. In fact, just a moment ago, I succeeded, and I was about to start refining your pendant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? So... why did Little Han Sis stop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu Ruxin, do you really not know what this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lifted it, the emerald green gem blocking the line of sight between me and Qiu Ruxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Qiu Ruxin's turn to stammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... is there something wrong with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, there is. A big problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also saw Qiu Ruxin's reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she said nothing, I understood that she seemed to know something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... is the problem really big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Qiu Ruxin also became a little nervous, her voice small and tentative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm. Qiu Ruxin, you seem to know something. Is it convenient to tell me the story about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My tone was still calm, but my gaze was filled with curiosity as I looked at Qiu Ruxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... is a family heirloom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Qiu Ruxin bit her lower lip and said, \"It is said... it has been passed down for hundreds of years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family heirloom... a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and you are the only one left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What family... it's just been passed down from generation to generation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it ever mentioned why this was passed down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know,\" Qiu Ruxin shook her head, but her next words were slightly choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandfather passed it to my father, my father passed it to my younger brother, and finally my younger brother gave it to me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as if seeing my confusion, Qiu Ruxin spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandfather died before I was born. My father was killed by the Secret Diggers. And my younger brother... not long ago, he was also killed by those Secret Diggers along with our home... It's a curse, but... but I can't get rid of it. Everyone who touched it has had a bad end...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think it's a curse, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... it made me lose everything! Actually... I said I was born unlucky, but that's not true. It was after I took it from my younger brother's hands... that I became unlucky...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can see that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a person were born unlucky, then Qiu Ruxin would not have developed such a personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current her was more like an ordinary girl who was temporarily accustomed to bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would complain and feel sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when she was teaching me the language, that was the longest I had spent with her, so I watched her complain when the computer she was using lagged, froze, or got infected with a virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were born unlucky, she would have at least been accustomed to such things, to the point of being numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You believe me, don't you, Little Han Sis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin's eyes were already moist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, suddenly recalling a sad past was hard for anyone to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to let you bear this curse, Little Han Sis... I just... I just wanted to live a life without misfortune... I've experienced a normal life... I hate that I wasn't born unlucky. At least I wouldn't long for the old days...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't mean to blame you. You don't need to say sorry to me, and you don't need to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, I didn't offer too much comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a fact that she wanted to get rid of the so-called \"curse\" by using me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the pendant, somewhat in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said... you couldn't get rid of it. What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know... it's just... I simply can't throw it away. I don't know if my grandfather, father, and brother experienced this, but I can't get rid of it. It will reappear in front of me in a very short time through various reasonable ways. Little Han Sis, these past few days... although we were just one corridor apart, you haven't come back for many days. I thought...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that the kind of not being able to get rid of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned at this moment, but the next moment, a golden thread answered my question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of Destiny... the only thread of Destiny in Qiu Ruxin's body was connected to her Seed of Destiny, and the other end was connected to this pendant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover... the connection was not the same as the one I had on me earlier, but a strongly related connection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, because the information in this pendant was too vast, I hadn't noticed that it was also connected to Destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for it not \"returning\" to her these past few days, it was highly likely because I was not a person of this world, so Destiny could not strongly interfere with me, and... this thing was also thrown into my Storage Equipment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright... stop crying. It's okay now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up and came to Qiu Ruxin to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been through a lot, Qiu Ruxin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm... no...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Ruxin bit her lower lip, trying hard not to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Han Sis, do you know... what this is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I roughly know what it is.
