In her heart, she naturally assumed that Qin Chen was interested in her; otherwise, with so many rare treasures here, why would he care so much about an unaging stone specifically for a woman and tell her about it?
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
Qin Chen was taken aback, thinking, could Liu Lingyun have misunderstood something?
He was just about to change the topic.
"Master Qin, we found the Emperor Crystal."
At that moment, Liu Yuanqin returned to the secret chamber.
In his hands, he held a radiant milky-white crystal that was only the size of a fist, yet it exuded a heart-pounding aura, as if it were an emperor overlooking its subjects.
"It is indeed the Emperor Crystal."
Qin Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart as he gently stroked the Emperor Crystal, a dreamy expression in his eyes.
With this crystal, his Martial Intent Formation would be complete.
Liu Lingyun felt a bit gloomy; was Qin Chen not a man? Here she was, a stunning beauty standing in front of him, and he showed no reaction at all, instead getting excited over that Emperor Crystal.
Was a crystal more beautiful than her?
"Let's go!"
Qin Chen casually put away the Emperor Crystal and turned to walk out of the treasury.
Liu Yuanqin was taken aback.
He had been called over by Liu Xuanrui to accompany Qin Chen into the treasury, and he understood his father's intentions.
He simply wanted to win over Qin Chen, allowing him to spend more time in the treasury to see if he was interested in anything, fostering a good relationship.
Otherwise, they wouldn't need to accompany him for just one Emperor Crystal; they could have sent someone to simply retrieve it.
Now seeing Qin Chen ready to leave made Liu Yuanqin stunned; this Qin Chen truly was a man of integrity!
The treasures within the treasury were incredibly rare; any top expert entering would be astonished and unable to resist exploring, harboring wicked thoughts.
But Qin Chen displayed no such thoughts, which made Liu Yuanqin admire him even more.
He smiled and said, "Master Qin, aren't you going to take a look at the other treasures?"
"There will be opportunities in the future," Qin Chen replied.
Having acquired the Emperor Crystal, Qin Chen was eager to set up the Martial Intent Formation to help Zhuo Qingfeng and the others break through.
He would always feel uneasy until the Leng family was thoroughly defeated.
The three had just reached the entrance of the grand hall when a strange wave suddenly came from a distance, causing Qin Chen to feel the mysterious rusty sword in his storage ring slightly heating up.
What was going on?
Qin Chen turned his head, looking toward the source of the wave, which was an ancient secret chamber.
"Master Qin, what's wrong?"
Seeing Qin Chen stop, Liu Yuanqin asked in confusion.
"What is in that secret chamber?" Qin Chen pointed to the place where the wave was coming from.
Liu Yuanqin glanced over and immediately smiled, saying, "Master Qin, the secret chamber is filled with some strange artifacts acquired by our Dawei Dynasty. Many of the items inside are broken, and their origins are unclear, yet they are all extraordinary, so they are stored here."
"Can you take me in to take a look?"
Qin Chen frowned; what kind of treasure could cause the mysterious rusty sword to react?
"Of course."
Liu Yuanqin confidently opened the secret chamber.
As soon as Qin Chen stepped into the secret chamber, he felt the source of the wave.
He saw that place was piled with a bunch of items, and the wave was coming from beneath that pile.
Qin Chen immediately stepped forward and began to sift through the clutter, revealing a broken piece of armor before him, covered in dust and even some rust, appearing very ancient and plain.
But Qin Chen could sense that as soon as this piece of armor was revealed, the mysterious rusty sword in his storage ring became even hotter, as if it were on fire, but soon calmed down again.
"This is the one."
Qin Chen was certain; it was this item that caused the mysterious rusty sword to undergo a change.
