REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Then I'd like to ask for two, may I?"

"Tch… you shameless," suddenly a voice sounded, it was Wan Lie.

Xue Ning glanced at the source of the voice with disapproval.

"It's okay, Miss. If there's a magic stone you like, take it," said Zhou when he saw Wan Lie and Xue Ning's interaction.

"Okay, thanks. I'll choose two," Xue Ning replied looking at Zhou. She wanted to find a magic stone to decorate her bow.

As for Ju Xian and Xue Ying, the two of them were just looking around without any interest in having any of the magic stones in that room.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan looked at all the magic stones that reached her sight but couldn't find any ruby ​​star stone.

Step by step, she took to follow where the direction of the Voltex vibration was getting stronger.

Standing in front of a glass case containing various kinds of magic stones, Fu Xie Lan's brow furrowed in confusion.

No ruby ​​star stone pieces. Is the Voltex broken?

Why did its tremors intensify where she stood? Even though there was no ruby ​​star stone that she was looking for.

'This is weird.'

Suddenly a thought appeared in the girl's mind. Immediately her violet eyes flashed, scanning everything she saw without a hitch.

Stunned, the girl froze on the spot. Her guess was right, there was another room behind the wall in front of her.

'THERE HE IS!'

It was in there that the ruby ​​star stone she was looking for was. She had to go there to pick it up.

Pulling the power of her eyes back to normal, Fu Xie Lan turned around and walked over to Zhou who seemed to be conversing with Xue Ning.

"Zhou, is the magic stone that belongs to the Wang family, all of them are in this room?" she asked pretending not to know the other room behind the wall.

"Yes, Miss. What's the matter? Is something bothering you?" Zhou asked.

"Um no, I'm just curious. We enter this room through a secret door. Maybe there be another room behind this wall?" said Fu Xie Lan again as he looked around, then noticed the expression on the man's face.

"Xie Lan, what are you saying?" Xue Ning asked approaching the girl.

The person being spoken to only glanced at the origin of the voice without intending to respond.

Zhou who heard Fu Xie Lan's question frowned, "There is no more room, Miss. Only here in this place," the man replied.

"Is that true?" said Fu Xie Lan judging Zhou's expression.

"That's right, Miss," he replied immediately while nodding firmly in a voice that sounded very convincing.

"How about I say that there is another room behind the wall in this room?" Fu Xie Lan said making everyone who was in the same room turn to her.

"Eh? What do you mean, Miss?" Zhou asked increasingly confused.

Fu Xie Lan who had been watching the man's expression from earlier could guess that Zhou seemed to know nothing about the other room in this room.

"You never thought about this?" Asked Fu Xie Lan with one eyebrow raised making Zhou gasp.

"No, Miss. Because the only room I know of is where we are right now," the man replied immediately.

"Is that true?" Zhou asked.

Fu Xie Lan just shrugged her shoulders, "I just guessed it," she replied with a sentence full of doubts. Contrary to the tone of voice and the sentence she said before.

"Then I'll check it out, Miss," said the man again.

"I'm not sure about this, because it's just my guess. But what's wrong with checking it, right? Who knows what I said is true," said Fu Xie Lan. She did and said such things on purpose because when she found the room, she didn't want them all to suspect her or to wonder how she found out about the other room behind the wall.

Yes, even though what he said sounded very ridiculous, seeing Zhou seem to believe her words, made a Fu Xie Lan smile faintly behind her mask.

On the other hand, Xue Ning, Xue Ying, Wan Lie, and Ju Xian glanced at each other.

Until now, they had not seen any sign of Fu Xie Lan finding the ruby ​​star stone she was looking for. Making them guess that maybe what the girl just said was true? Because if the ruby ​​star stone isn't in this room, then that means it's in another room right?

Eventually, they all decided to help Zhou, checking every side of the room's walls.

Seen occasionally tapping on the wall, looking down and looking for something that might seem odd.

Fu Xie Lan just stood frozen in her position, watching them all.

Until a few minutes have passed. A voice filled the silence.

"Miss, come here," said Zhou getting up from his position, turning his body halfway and looking at Fu Xie Lan.

Hearing that, one corner of Fu Xie Lan's lips lifted faintly behind her mask. Behind the wall of Zhou's existence was the room she had seen a moment ago.

'That man must have found something in there,' she thought.

Fu Xie Lan immediately got up, stepping closer to Zhou. "What is it?" she asked right after being in front of the man. While Wan Lie and the others were also doing the same, all of them drew closer towards Zhou.

"Miss, take a look at this!" said the man then crouched down, one hand pointing at something in front of him.

"What do you mean, Zhou? There's nothing there," Xue Ning said with a clear frown on her forehead. What she saw was the same as what the others had seen, it was just a wall with nothing there.

"No, you guys come closer, again" Zhou replied immediately.

Immediately Fu Xue Lan crouched down, as did the others, and sure enough, the wall at the part that the man was pointing at was uneven, a star-shaped engraving was drawn on it, an engraving that was about a few centimeters deep.

At first glance, the engraving is not visible, but if you look at it carefully, especially at this close distance, the pattern will be visible.

"What's that?" Xue Ning asked.

"Just see, it's a pattern with a star-shaped engraving," Ju Xian replied immediately.

"No, I mean what is the meaning of that pattern? And why is it there? It seems that the pattern's existence was deliberately disguised," Xue Ning said, instantly representing the question lodged in their head.

"I never knew there was a pattern like this here, Miss. I've been in and out of this room for hundreds of years."

"Why am I only seeing it now?"
