It was a ring that represented supreme power, but the Rose of Death's leader never found the ring on her after her death.
Ji Xiuran furrowed his brows. How did that pair of rings end up in Worriless's hands?
The only thing Ji Xiuran knew was that the previous leader of the Rose of Death was somewhat related to the Nie family and seemed to be a distant relative.
During that war, the Nie family also played the role of placing righteousness before family and participated in the operation to annihilate the Rose of Death's leader.
"Just what is the connection between all of this? What does it represent …"
Ji Xiuran murmured, his complexion turning paler.
Haitang looked anxious. "Xiuran, don't think about it. Rest a bit first …"
This man's body was starting to collapse.
"Do you have a pen and paper?"
Ji Xiuran asked.
"I do, but Xiuran, your body …"
Ah-Chen looked worried.
"It's fine. Give me a pen and paper," Ji Xiuran said.
Ah-Chen sighed. He understood that no one could change Ji Xiuran's mind once he made up his mind.
Ah-Chen could only helplessly take out a pen and paper.
"Mysterious person … Ring … Direct Line … Just what is the connection between these three?"
Ji Xiuran swiftly scribbled down question after question on the yellowed paper.
Currently, the ones who posed a threat to Worriless were the Martial Arts Union and the Direct Line.
To be precise, it was the mysterious person who could freely enter and leave the Direct Line.
The mysterious person was interested in the rings on Worriless's hands, which was why she was being hunted.
Currently, the greatest threat was still that mysterious person.
The Martial Arts Union was in the open while the mysterious person was in the shadows like a venomous snake, icy and sinister.
After scribbling down several connections on the paper, Ji Xiuran's expression suddenly shifted.
Past events surfaced in his mind.
"Could it be …"
Ji Xiuran frowned deeply, astonishment surfacing in his eyes.
Haitang stared at Ji Xiuran and was about to say something when she discovered that Ji Xiuran had actually torn the densely packed yellow paper to shreds.
A second later, a ghastly trail of blood seeped out of the corner of Ji Xiuran's mouth.
"Xiuran!"
Haitang caught Ji Xiuran.
This man was burning his own life. Just why was he willing to disregard his own life?!
"Haitang, Emperor Ji!"
Right at this moment, Master Li barged in and hurriedly said, "A young lad named Si Xia. He just came in not long ago and couldn't stand being locked up in prison. He actually swam to escape. Don't you think it's a coincidence? While he was escaping, he actually discovered the Martial Arts Union's resource vault. There was a large amount of medicine inside!"
"Perhaps … it's already useless."
Haitang's expression was complicated. "Xiuran's body … perhaps … can no longer be maintained by relying on medicine alone. Master Li, you should know better than me, right?"
Everyone's expressions darkened when they heard Haitang's words.
Indeed, as Haitang said, Ji Xiuran had already developed a resistance to the medicine. His body had deteriorated too severely. Even if he didn't have a resistance, the side effects of the medicine were enough to take Ji Xiuran's life.
Ji Xiuran took a deep breath. Then, he took out a pen and paper again and wrote a long paragraph. Then, he folded the paper and kept it in his pocket.
"Thank you for your company all these years."
Ji Xiuran looked at everyone with a warm smile on his face.
