Chapter 82: Ye Ruyan wanted to seize the opportunity early, but the opportunity came even earlier

The gap between people is truly greater than that between a person and a dog.

His words were filled with helplessness and amazement.

Li Dongxia, standing nearby, couldn't help but complain about Ye Qingming:

Although what you say is blunt but reasonable, you're saying it too bluntly.

At this moment, Ye Ruyan stared fixedly at Ye Xiuxiu, lost in thought.

Her thoughts seemed to travel back to a certain moment in her past life,

at that time, Ye Xiuxiu also suddenly discovered that she possessed such a powerful talent for artifact refining.

Moreover, Ye Xiuxiu even possessed a Refining Great Cauldron that could be called top-tier.

Because of that, she hadn't lacked the covetous gazes of outsiders with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, each time, Ye Qingzhi had blocked all those troubles.

Ye Ruyan ultimately couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and spoke up:

"Sister Xiuxiu, did you also discover a Refining Great Cauldron? I guess it must have some special patterns on it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiuxiu's delicate body trembled violently,

instantly she froze. She couldn't help but ponder silently,

"How could my second sister, Liu Ruyan, know about this?"

You know, I haven't even taken out that Refining Great Cauldron to show yet!

How did she come to know this secret?

Just then, Ye Xiuxiu slowly opened her mouth and said:

"Indeed… there is another Refining Great Cauldron."

Before her words even faded, she looked at Ye Ruyan with a face full of suspicion,

and pressed: "Ye Ruyan, how exactly did you find out about this?!"

Facing Ye Xiuxiu's questioning, Ye Ruyan merely gave a slight smile, speaking in an extremely relaxed and casual manner:

"I just said it offhand; I never expected to actually be right."

Seeing this, Ye Xiuxiu didn't ask further,

only seeing her jade hand wave,

that mysterious Refining Great Cauldron appeared out of thin air before everyone's eyes.

Her thought was simple: to confirm in front of everyone that this cauldron belonged to her.

Thus, everyone present couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts,

and their gazes were drawn to it.

Because anyone could see at a glance,

the quality of this cauldron is absolutely extraordinary,

far surpassing any artifact-refining treasure they had ever seen before.

It emanated a unique and mysterious aura, accompanied by a strong sense of oppression.

And Ye Ruyan merely glanced at it,

and immediately recognized the object before her as the identical giant treasure cauldron that would appear sixty years later.

At this very moment,

a feeling indescribable welled up from deep within Ye Ruyan's heart,

as if the gears of fate had become misaligned,

what was supposed to happen only sixty years from now,

has now been forcibly advanced by a full sixty years,

advanced to this very moment.

What on earth is going on?

Before this,

Ye Ruyan had already carefully plotted to seize Ye Xiuxiu's opportunity a step ahead.

But what she never expected was,

that Ye Xiuxiu's opportunity would actually come to her doorstep of its own accord,

and would fall into her hands a step early!

This sudden change made Ye Ruyan inwardly curse:

"Heavens, why did you arrange for me to be reborn here?"

Finally, unable to contain her intense curiosity, Ye Ruyan still couldn't help but ask:

"Xiuxiu, where exactly did you get this cauldron?"

Facing Ye Ruyan's inquiry,

Ye Xiuxiu responded with remarkable calm,

she casually replied:

"I found it among that pile of miscellaneous junk."

Then Ye Xiuxiu continued:

"At the time it was only palm-sized, looking just like an ordinary little ball."

"But when my hand touched it, an incredibly wonderful feeling instantly surged in my heart,"

"as if I had suddenly obtained some mysterious inheritance."

Having said that, Ye Xiuxiu paused slightly,

It seemed she was organizing her thoughts, then she added:

Immediately after, a great deal of knowledge and skill regarding refining kept pouring into my mind.

It was only then that I suddenly realized,

It turned out that the seemingly insignificant little ball was actually this Refining Great Cauldron before me.

These words were purely Ye Xiuxiu's idle chatter,

After all, no one could definitively prove whether what she said was true or false.

Such opportunities are truly beyond words!

When Ye Ruyan heard what Ye Xiuxiu said,

She couldn't help but freeze, silently pondering:

"How could such an outrageous thing happen? To find such a precious object among a pile of junk!"

Although she felt in her heart that Ye Xiuxiu was probably just speaking nonsense,

but she lacked solid evidence to expose the other's lie.

Perhaps in her previous life,

Ye Xiuxiu likewise obtained this mysterious inheritance through some unknown means?

Thinking of this, Ye Ruyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, Ye Qingming beside them gazed at Ye Xiuxiu with a face full of envy,

He secretly sighed in his heart:

"If only I had been the one to first encounter this miraculous little ball!"

"Alas, life never has so many 'ifs' and 'whats'; everything is destined."

Now that things have come to this, no amount of regret will help,

looking forward is more important than anything,

dwelling on the past will only keep you stuck.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts,

Ye Songzhi decisively slapped the table,

He proclaimed loudly: "Xiuxiu has fortunately received a top-tier refining technique inheritance; her refining skill can already be called the best in our Ye family!"

He looked around, then said:

"Moreover, even if this Refining Great Cauldron were given to others, they would probably be unable to exert its proper function."

"Since Xiuxiu discovered this first, it naturally belongs to her."

After Ye Songzhi's final decision on the layout was made,

the matter was settled, and no one raised any further objections.

Just then,

Ye Songzhi suddenly seemed to recall something important,

his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.

Ever since the incident where Ye Ruyan attempted to kill Ye Xiuxiu,

Ye Songzhi has remained in a state of anxiety and fear.

At this moment, he couldn't help but say: "Qingming, since that Magic Treasure capable of withstanding a full-powered strike from a Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection expert was forged by Xiuxiu..."

"Should we return it to Xiuxiu? That way, even if Xiuxiu faces malicious attacks from others in the future,"

"at least she can rely on this treasure to withstand a single blow that could be fatal!"

Upon hearing Ye Songzhi's words, Ye Qingming first blinked in surprise,

then nodded, indicating his agreement and replied:

"You are absolutely right; this treasure was originally intended to be returned to Xiuxiu."

No sooner had his words fallen than Ye Qingming waved his hand,

walked up to Ye Xiuxiu,

and gently placed it into her hand.

Ye Xiuxiu happily received the round shield,

her eyes sparkling with excitement.

To her,

this round shield is not merely a powerful Magic Treasure,

but most importantly, it carries special commemorative significance,

because this is the first Magic Treasure she has ever successfully forged with her own hands!
