Shen Ningning was incredibly curious. She ran to Mo Lingwei's side and craned her neck to look at the changes on the Jade Ring.
Panic rose in Tuo Ye's eyes.
'If his blood merges with the jade right in front of Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning...'
'Wouldn't his identity be exposed?'
Mr. Xiu Mu stammered, "Crown Prince, actually..."
He didn't finish, but everyone watched as Tuo Ye's blood slid right off the Jade Ring.
The jade didn't absorb it at all.
Tuo Ye's eyes widened.
"Tsk." Mo Lingwei scoffed. "Does everyone's blood just slide off it like this?"
Mr. Xiu Mu snapped back to his senses. "No, absolutely not. This humble subject personally saw the blood of the Great Sun King and various princes and nobles get 'eaten' by this jade."
He gave a dry laugh. "This guard of mine is no Prince, so of course the Jade Ring won't absorb his blood."
Mo Lingwei tossed aside the longsword, took Shen Ningning's hand, and smoothly pocketed the Jade Ring.
