"Do all of you still remember, inside that stone hut, the words carved upon it?" Jun Wu Xie asked, her eyes narrowed.
Qiao Chu and the others immediately sank their hearts into their memories and moments later, Hua Yao was the first to remember the intricacies behind it. He suddenly raised his head, his good looking eyes flashing with a tinge of surprise.
"You are saying, that the person who was trapped at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, was actually related to the Fire Country?"
Jun Wu Xie took off the ring and handed it over to Hua Yao and the others to examine.
Hua Yao and the others very quickly discovered the word "Yan" carved upon the ring.
"I remember ….. The meaning behind that person's words, was that he was the Emperor of a certain country. Could it be ….. that he was the original Emperor of the Fire Country? And because of his disappearance, the current Emperor had ascended to the throne? " Qiao Chu's eyes widened, never having thought that the ring that Jun Wu Xie had unintentionally picked up at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, would actually be related to the Fire Country.
"No. Based on the time that has passed, the time that person entered the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, even if it had not been a hundred years, would not be too far off. The current Emperor's age does not match." Hua Yao immediately said, shaking his head.
"Even if it was the previous Emperor, then it must be related to the Fire Country." Fan Zhuo said.
Fei Yan's eyes narrowed, seemingly thinking about something. After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
"I remember it now!"
Fei Yan's face showed a tinge of excitement as he looked at Jun Wu Xie and said with a smile: "I had investigated the Fire Country's situation before and I had gained some understanding of the Fire Country's past rulers. The first Emperor of the Fire Country, who is also the current Emperor's grandfather, was not the ruler of the Fire Country. The current Emperor of the Fire Country was his elder brother, but his elder brother suddenly disappeared. After that, the Fire Country fell into chaos for a period of time and the first Emperor had to ascend to the throne in order to stabilize the political situation. Based on the time that has passed, the person in the stone hut could very well be the first Emperor's elder brother, the Fire Country's missing Emperor! "
"Now that you put it that way, it's highly possible. But that incident happened so long ago, does it still have anything to do with the present? "Fan Zhuo asked as he rested his head on his hand, looking at Jun Xie.
Jun Wu Xie then said: "Yesterday, I came across the Grand Adviser, Wen Yu, in the Imperial Garden and we had just exchanged a few casual words. But when Wen Yu saw the ring on my finger, he hinted for me to leave the Fire Country as soon as possible, saying that if I continued to stay here, something bad might happen. I had initially thought that he was referring to the Prime Minister's attempt to assassinate me but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that wasn't the case. Lei Fan wanted to kill me because I saw his countenance, and not because of this ring. But Wen Yu's intentions seemed to be related to this ring."
It was obvious that the danger that Wen Yu was referring to did not refer to Lei Fan.
"That's strange. Even if this ring is related to one of the Emperors of the Fire Country, what does that mean? Could it be that because of this ring, the Emperor would have the intention to kill you? Isn't this a little too strange? Even if he wanted to take the ring back, he could have just asked you directly. "Qiao Chu still could not understand what kind of danger a mere ring could bring to the Fire Country.
"That point, I have not figured it out as well. But Wen Yu's words would not be baseless. He must know something, or have predicted something, which is why he is warning me like that." Jun Wu Xie said as she put the ring back on her finger. Although she understood the origins of the ring, but she still could not understand why Wen Yu would want her to leave the Fire Country so quickly.
