Chapter 239 - 239:A Stone?

Long Chen was stunned as he unwrapped the gift. It was something he never expected.

"A Stone?" Long Chen asked with a frown as he gazed at the thing in his hand. It was nothing but a small piece of stone.

"I don't know what use this stone might have, but I was told by my grandfather that the stone is not a normal stone. He said that it is a special stone and that it will help our family achieve prominence, but I don't think that it's in our destiny to have that. I would like to give it to you as a gift." The Village Chief said with a smile.

'Isn't this a normal stone? Oh well, Looks like your grandfather wanted to give you some hope for the future. I shouldn't tell him and break good hopes.' Long Chen thought as he looked at the stone in his hand.

"Thank you village chief. I'll keep this 'special' stone with care." Long Chen said with a smile as he kept the stone in his storage ring.

"Lulu? Don't you want to say something as well?" The village elder said with a smile.

A girl stopped hiding behind his back and came out.

"Ah.. thank you, big brother." The girl said as she bowed down.

"Why were you hiding behind him? Am I that scary?" Long Chen smiled as he gazed at her.

'Oh well, I did behead a villager, so she isn't wrong to be scared.' Long Chen thought with a wry smile on his face.

"Thanks for everything. I'm leaving now" Long Chen said as he turned back and left.

Long Chen entered the carriage with Mingyu and Zhiqing and the carriage began moving.

In a short time, they were outside the village and on the road as they continued on their journey.

There was complete silence inside the carriage for a few minutes, before Long Chen started getting restless.

"Ah...Mingyu... about the thing from before... Is this a good time to talk?" Long Chen said with some hesitation. He decided to talk to Mingyu about the thing he was evading for quite some time.

"I want to talk to you about it as well, but you can go first," Mingyu replied to Long Chen instantly
