Chapter 97:


    The next instant, ire suddenly felt an irresistible strong power power suck her in directly. Pulling ire’s hand, Summer was also sucked in right after.


    Instantly, four people had disappeared.


    Ben humphed coldly, extended his hand, and also disappeared before their eyes.


    Jean didn’t saw a word, walking forward and disappearing voluntarily. Everybody else looked at each other in dismay. Camille shrugged and walked forward in a rxed manner. Everybody also went right after, all disappearing at the cave’s entrance.


    Just as they were sucked into the barrier, they felt an irresistible force down. The sound of Summer and Qiao Chuxin’s shrieks came.


    ire was rolling her eyes,pletely speechless at whoever had designed the path. It felt like a ror coaster!


    Sliding down a giant curved slide, specks of ores iyed in the walls shining like stars, lighting up the cavern. Everyone rapidly slid down one after the other. Summer and Qiao Chuxin’s shrieks could be heard at different intervals. The feeling of weightlessness was very ufortable.


    Finally, everybody slid down in a disoriented manner. After standing steadily with difficulty, they started to size up the surroundings.


    ire rubbed her sore bottom ungracefully, cursing the person who had set up the barrier.


    “That’s the treasure?” Summer eximed in surprised.


    Everybody looked the direction Summer was looking and saw a tall tform made of white marble, stairs made out of a fewyers of the same white marble leading upwards. A sword was sticking out of the white marble tform, an extraordinarily ordinary sword! Aplete mismatch with the sparkly, beautiful white jade tform.


    “How ordinary. I thought it would be a precious swordpletely embedded with gems,” Summer said a little disappointedly.


    “That would just be shy and useless,” Li Yuewen said icily. Obviously, Summer’s attitude made her a little angry.


    “Didn’t we find the treasure too easily?” Walter peered at the surroundings skeptically.


    “It doesn’t matter if you find it or not because the artifact chooses his owner. Even if someone finds it, if they can’t pull him out, then it will just be a decoration and can’t be used,” Li Mingyu exined.


    ire remembered his past words and understood. The artifact was created by their Li ancestors and only descendents of the Li n could pull it out. No wonder Li Mingyu was so unhurried, he believed that it was impossible for the artifact to choose anyone besides them Li siblings.


    “But it really looks ordinary.” Ben walked up the the white jade tform and crouched down, looking suspiciously at the sword.


    “What do you know!” ire also went forward and examined it, coldly lecturing Ben, “The more ordinary something looks, the more enigmatic. Ordinary looking things often make people lose their guards. Biding your time and then making a fatal blow at the right moment can achieve what was previously impossible.”


    Ben frowned as he watched ire, listening intently to ire’s teachings, then nodded. “In other words, making a pretense?”


    “Trick your enemies, make them think you’re useless, then beat them up viciously. This method is very effective,” ire continued to teach coldly.


    “Oh, oh.” Ben nodded over and over, remembering this exceptionally keenly.


    The two’s teacher and student appearance made everybody look in disbelief.


    Li Mingyu slowly walked forward, watching the ordinary looking sword profoundly. He knew that the sword was definitely not as simple as it looked.


    Just as Li Mingyu approached the treasured de, a strange situation happened.


    The sword started to vibrate slightly, slowly glowing silver.


    Li Yuewen smiled joyously and was relieved. The sword definitely had a consciousness. There was hope for reviving the Li n!


    Li Mingyu also started to be a bit excited. The treasured de that he had been looking for was right before his and actually had a reaction towards him approaching!


    ire stared wide eyed at the scene before her, gasping internally. The artifact really did have a will and could choose its owner! Everybody else also stared unflinchingly and held their breath seeing the scene before them.


    As Li Mingyu came closer, the sword vibrated more intensely and the sword became brighter.


    Li Mingyu waspletely solemn. He stood before the treasured de and said in a dignified manner, “Please reply to my summon. Follow my will, guide the Li n towards prosperity once more.”


    Everybody hadn’t moved their gaze, watching Li Mingyu’s actions closely, fearing they would miss the mysterious moment when the artifact would ept its owner.


    Li Minyu solemnly closed his eyes and slowly extended his hand, setting it on the sword hilt, then pulled with force.


    Instantly, there were infinite rays, striking the soul...... strange!


    The treasured de did not move a single inch. It just vibrated and glowed silver as before.


    What? After being shocked for a moment, Li Mingyu pulled forcefully once more.


    The treasured de did not move a single inch, just as before!


    Everybody blinked, perplexed. Didn’t he already finish making a big show out of it, why hadn’t he pulled it out yet?


    ire also frowned, looking at Li Mingyu, not understanding exactly what he was doing. What was he doing, just standing there and not pulling out the sword?


    Li Yuewen frowned slightly because with her older brother’s personality, Li Mingyu wouldn’t continue to hesitate and not pull out the sword! An ominous premonition arose in her heart.


    Li Mingyu pulled forcefully once more, but the treasured de was still stuck in the white jade tform as before, not moving at all.


    Li Mingyu’s expression finally changed. He slowly let go and said in a low voice, “I can’t pull it out. Yuewen, you try.”


    “Ah?!” Everybody gasped in surprise. Li Mingyu actually couldn’t pull the sword out?! The treasured de actually did not ept Li Mingyu as its owner?! But wasn’t the de continuously vibrating and lighting up when Li Mingyu was going up? Was it ying around?


    “Me?” Li Yuewen pointed at her nose and asked doubtfully.


    “Yes. In the Li n, besides me, you also have the right.” Li Mingyu’s tone was a bigplex. The Li n had already fallen to such an extent and only they two siblings were persisting to support it.


    Seeing the situation before them, ire and everyone else weren’t able to say a word. They just quietly waited.


    Li Yuewen’s expression became conflicted as she slowly walked up to the white jade tform. She slowly extended her hand out, her hand shaking slightly. She hoped she could pull it out, but at the same time, hoped she couldn’t. What did being able to pull it out mean? Did it mean that Elder brother wasn’t as good as her? If she couldn’t pull it out, then how would the Li n revive? Li Yuewen feltpletely conflicted, but in the end, still set her hand on the sword hilt.


    With rapt attention, she pulled!


    The de did not move an inch.


    Li Yuewen let out a sigh of relief in her heart. The treasured de’s chosen owner wasn’t her!


    Instantly, the cavern fell silent. Everybody nced at each other, unable to say anything.


    What kind of situation was this?!


    The treasured de didn’t choose any owner! Both of the Li siblings failed to be the treasured de’s owner!


    It was deathly silent. There was only the sound of the treasured sword still vibrating.


    Li Mingyu and Li Yuewen just stared nkly at the treasured de at a loss. They had done everything they could and finally found the treasured sword, but now they could only look at it. Nobody else dared to say anything. Seeing the two’s expressions, they all were silent. It seemed unsuitable to console them at this moment.


    After a long time, ire felt that her foot had even started going to sleep. Then ire said weakly, “Then, is there a way to dig out the white jade tform and then bring back both the white jade tform and treasured sword back? Perhaps there’s someone else in the Li n the treasured sword will ept as its owner.”


    Li Mingyu shook his head slowly, his eyes calm. “If this was possible, someone would have done that long ago. It can only be said that we siblings don’t have enough strength and the treasured sword won’t ept us.”


    Li Yuewen was also listless.


    Instantly, an indescribably dismal mood descended. Nobody knew what to say.


    Seeing Li Yuewen’s listless expression, ire also started to feel ufortable. Although this woman was usually very fierce, there was no way for ire to dislike her. She wanted to say something to console her, but she didn’t know what to say.


    ire shifted around, her foot had started to fall asleep.


    ire extended her hand unconsciously, just wanting to rest on the sword for a moment.


    An abnormal “bang” sounded, suddenly breaking the silence in the cavern.


    Everybody’s mouths were wide open seeing the scene before them, dumbstruck.


    ire had fallen on the white jade tform and the ordinary looking treasured sword also fallen next to her too!


    ire hurriedly got up. Seeing the sword next to her, she hastily picked it up and said frantically, “I only wanted to lean on it for moment, I didn’t mean to. I, I’ll immediately stick it back...”


    I only wanted to lean on it for moment, I didn’t mean to. I, I’ll immediately stick it back...


    Echo, echo....


    It continued to echo endlessly.


    Holding the treasured sword, ire’s first reaction was to immediately stick it back.


    Suddenly, ire froze. Cold wind blew past behind her. ire slowly looked down, stupefied seeing the treasured de in her hand.


    Wasn’t it that only Li n descendents could pull it out? Was it that you needed that, what was it, resolute will and powerful strength to pull it out? Why was it that it fell over after she just pushed it lightly?


    ire stood there stiffly, looked back robotically, and saw everybody’s exceptional expressions. Especially Li Yuewen’s, her wide eyes staring straight at the treasured de in ire’s grip.


    “But... but wasn’t it that only people from the Li n could pull it out? The sword has made a mistake. Sh, shouldn’t I stick it back?” ire asked meekly, seeing Li Yuewen’s oppressive gaze.


    “The, the treasured sword actually recognized you as its owner!” Summer stuttered, pointing at the sword. Her eyes were full of disbelief and amazement. Everybody else’s minds were nk. They just stared vacantly at ire.


    “I, I’ll, I’ll put it back right now...” ire said weakly, looking extremely not at fault.


    “You! You stinkin’ brat!” Li Yuewen abruptly grabbed ire’s cor, forcefully shaking her. “What do you think my Li n’s treasured sword is? You want to stick it back? It actually chose you, chose you as its owner, is there some kind of mistake? What kind of destiny is this?!”
