Mr. Xiu Mu saw that everyone present was awed by their treasure.
The smile on his lips deepened.
"Just as you said, Princess Funing, our two countries were once at war, a most unpleasant affair. However, the Great Sun King especially admires your talents. A blessed girl such as yourself may not appear even once in a hundred years. Thus, we have come to offer our most precious treasure in hopes of winning Your Highness's favor."
Seeing her brother's reaction, Shen Ningning guessed that the jewel was likely genuine.
'But would Changliu Country really be so kind?'
Xu Jingxi had always been wise and resourceful.
He nonchalantly walked to Shen Ningning's side and addressed Mr. Xiu Mu, his voice raised. "Even if you give us this gift, my sister has nothing to offer in return. If your intentions are sincere, leave the item and you may go."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiu Mu chuckled. "That was my intention all along. All of you are being far too tense."
