Chapter 2657: Chapter 2658: Since He Wants It, Let Him Have It
"It’s a blessing or a curse..." Wei Rulan forced a bitter smile. "Sister, do you think there’s any bigger calamity than what we’re already facing?"
Wei Ruyan also fell silent.
"And don’t you have a feeling?"
"What feeling?"
"It’s like, after meeting that young man, even though we know we don’t know him, there’s this innate sense of familiarity."
Wei Ruyan looked shocked, "You’re right, I felt that too. I thought I was the only one who experienced it!"
"I felt it too, and it’s really strong. So I’ve been carefully studying everything about this person since he first appeared, and I’ve discovered he’s definitely not a bad person. On the contrary, he’s extremely hostile to the Federal Credential Bureau. For instance, this time he wiped out the Earth’s Star Ring!"
"Therefore, I think this person is someone we can approach and try to win over. After all, with the little power we have, dealing with a Star Ring that’s spread throughout The Multiverse is simply impossible."
"Yet, I still feel there’s danger. Because this person is so determined to get the Temporal Stone, he even eliminated the two major families in District Two. And we..."
Wei Ruyan wanted to say that since this person is so formidable, with just the little strength we have, if he were to come with force, how would we respond?
But Wei Rulan only smiled faintly, "Actually, what you’re worried about isn’t a problem at all, because if he’s so eager to get that stone, then why not just give it to him?"
Wei Ruyan trembled, "Give it to him?"
"Yes, give it to him!"
"But this stone is our Wei Family heirloom. We paid a heavy price to keep it from falling into others’ hands, and now we’re just handing it over?" Wei Ruyan became agitated.
Wei Rulan remained calm until Wei Ruyan finished speaking.
She then said softly, "Sister, I understand your point, but have you considered why the Carter Family in District Two also possesses a Temporal Stone and remains unharmed, while the Wei Family faced catastrophe?"
"That’s because the Carter Family has already aligned themselves with the Federal Credential Bureau!"
"That’s part of the reason, but not all. Because after careful observation and deduction, I’ve found that our Wei Family’s stone is entirely different from the Carter Family’s and others’ Temporal Stones!"
"First, it’s much smaller in size, and the aura it contains seems different. That’s likely why the Federal Credential Bureau’s Star Ring was willing to destroy the Wei Family to obtain this stone!"
As she spoke, Wei Rulan’s expression became solemn, "It must be extremely crucial!"
Wei Ruyan appeared puzzled, "But if that’s the case, why would you give it to that young man?"
"Because I can’t uncover its secret. Over these years, I’ve tried all kinds of methods but couldn’t affect this stone at all, and since the young man has specified he wants it, it means he must have a way to use it!"
"I’m very pragmatic. Since this thing is useless in our hands, why not put it to use and gain its proper value!"
"Furthermore, I won’t give it to him for free. I intend to use it to negotiate a collaboration with him!"
Seeing her sister seemed entirely in control, Wei Ruyan knew nothing she said would change things now.
Growing up together, she knew Wei Rulan’s temperament well.
She knew this seemingly delicate girl had firm convictions.
Once she made up her mind, it was nearly impossible to change.
Moreover, her words made sense, leading Wei Ruyan to sigh softly.
"Fine, I’ll listen to you, but the prerequisite is to ensure your safety, as you’re the only family I have left in this world!"
Wei Rulan gently rested her head on her sister’s arm, whispering, "Don’t worry, I feel the same way."
Wei Ruyan departed.
As the second-in-command of Saint Diss, she couldn’t stay stationary like Wei Rulan and issue commands centrally. She often needed to travel and personally resolve many matters.
For years, the sisters managed in this way.
Wei Rulan handled planning and coordination, while Wei Ruyan took care of the specifics.
With Saint Diss steadily advancing, their workload had significantly decreased.
Even so, Wei Ruyan still had a lot to manage.
At this moment.
In the room that was an exact replica of the courtyard Wei Rulan lived in years ago, Wei Rulan stared at the unfinished chess game on the stone table.
It was one of her few leisure activities. Sometimes, after overthinking, she would ponder a chess game to relax.
Just then, a rhythmic knocking sounded from outside, pulling Wei Rulan from her thoughts.
"Come in!" Wei Rulan said lightly.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Lu You, the mentor, quickly stepped in.
"How did it go?" Wei Rulan asked without lifting her head.
"Reporting to the Head, everything has been arranged!"
"Oh! Did they show any unusual behavior?"
"No, everything’s normal, though the sister from the siblings you asked me to focus on seems to have some complaints, but her brother is quite calm."
"Good job. Keep observing!"
"Yes!"
Lu You responded but didn’t step back.
Wei Rulan raised her head, "What is it? Anything else?"
"Head, do you have other plans for taking in these people from Earth?"
"Yes. Do you have any objections?" Wei Rulan raised an elegant eyebrow and asked sternly.
"I wouldn’t dare, just asking casually, but I heard Earth is currently chaotic, with many searching for a stone, and the newly appeared youth is determined to get it. Therefore, I think..."
"What do you think?" Wei Rulan asked lightly, her tone icy.
"I think we needn’t fear him!"
"Hmm?" Wei Rulan hadn’t expected Lu You to say this and was surprised.
Lu You gathered courage, looked up, and spoke firmly.
"We are privileged to be sheltered by the Head, have undergone years of training, and believe our abilities now rival anyone’s. If this person truly comes causing trouble or has ill intentions!"
Keen killing intent appeared on Lu You’s face, "We will fight fiercely to ensure the safety of the Head and the Second-in-command!"
Wei Rulan looked at Lu You for a moment.
Lu You faced Wei Rulan’s gaze fearlessly, filled with sincerity and passion.
But Wei Rulan soon turned aside, ignoring Lu You’s fervent eyes, and said lightly, "Alright, I understand, you may go!"
Hearing this, the eagerness in Lu You’s eyes quickly faded, nodding silently before turning and leaving.
After he left, Wei Rulan gently rubbed her slender legs, her face showing a complex expression.
