Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2371: The Box

Yu Qi and Long Hui did not see the girl. However, Xie Shurong, who stayed not far from them, noticed the girl. At first, she was surprised when she saw the girl. Then, it clicked after she examined the girl's face. It was a face that she often saw in the painting in their hall. It was the same face, even though this girl looked slightly younger in the painting.

It was Xie Xiurong, the one who got the title Lady Xiurong. Xie Shurong became curious about this couple. Why did Lady Xiurong seem to be delighted to see the couple? How did Lady Xiurong know this couple? What was their connection?

While Xie Shurong was immersed in her thoughts, the couple had already finished paying their respect. They walked toward Xie Shurong.

"Miss Xie..." Yu Qi called out Xie Shurong.

"Oh... You are done. Let's go back, then." Xie Shurong stated.

"Earlier, you told us that there is a box." Yu Qi said.

"Yes. It is a box. We have been keeping it since forever." Xie Shurong nodded.

"What's inside it?" Yu Qi asked.

"We don't know either." Xie Shurong shook her head.

"Don't know?" Yu Qi was surprised.

"Yes. Because we can not open it." Xie Shurong said.

"Can not open it?" Yu Qi was surprised again.

"Yes, it stated that only the right owner can open the box." Xie Shurong said. "Since she told us that the box belongs to the couple who come to our house."

"No one comes to pay respect to Lady Xiurong before?" Yu Qi asked.

"No." Xie Shurong shook her head.

"I see." Yu Qi nodded.

While they were talking, they arrived at the house. They went to the main hall again. The head of the Xie Family and others were waiting for them.

"Great Grandpa, do you take out the box?" Xie Shurong asked.

"Yes." The head of the Xie Family nodded. He turned to Yu Qi and Long Hui. "To make sure we get the true owner of the box, you need to prove it to us."

"How?" Long Hui asked.

"You need to open the box in front of us." The head of the Xie Family said.

"Fine by me." Long Hui nodded.

The head of the Xie Family signalled his servant to bring the box. He placed the box on the table.

"Please try to open the box." The head of the Xie Family gestured for Long Hui and Yu Qi to try.

"You go. The owner of the box is probably you." Yu Qi whispered to Long Hui.

Long Hui nodded. He stepped closer to the box. The box began to shine. The closer Long Hui was to the box, the brighter the shine came out. Everyone was surprised. Long Hui stopped. He looked at the box. He reached the box. As soon as his hand touched the box, the box shone brightly, almost blinding everyone for one second.

When everyone opened their eyes to watch again, everyone was shocked. It was because they saw Lady Xiurong's transparent image in front of Long Hui.

"You have come." Xie Xiurong stated.

"Yes." Long Hui nodded.

"This meant my prediction is right again." Xie Xiurong smiled.

"Indeed." Long Hui said.

"You are still the same." Xie Xiurong chuckled. "But it is nice to see you again after all."

"Hmm..." Long Hui replied.

"You probably wonder about many things. I can not talk much longer. I left a letter in the box. You can read it. Then, you will understand it." Xie Xiurong stated.

"Hmm... I will read it." Long Hui nodded.

Xie Xiurong turned to others. She looked at the head of the Xie Family.

"As I said before, this box already has its rightful owner. You can not take it from him. If you dare to do it, I will make sure you pay the price." Xie Xiurong said.

Xie Xiurong could not help to speak up. She knew that the Xie Family would try to keep the box since the box was already opened.

"Lady Xiurong, why do you do it? Who is he?" The head of the Xie Family tried to get Xie Xiurong to tell them about Long Hui.

"It does not concern you. So, you don't have to know about it." Xie Xiurong stated.

Xie Xiurong turned back. "This time, live happily with her. Fulfil your dream that you could not achieve before."

After Xie Xiurong said that, she disappeared. Long Hui picked the box.

"Xie Family, thank you for holding the box for me all this time. It will leave with me now." Long Hui stated.

"Wait. Tell me. What is your relationship with Lady Xiurong?" The head of the Xie Family could not help but ask.

At first, he thought the owner of the box would be Yu Qi. Yu Qi was from the Dian Family. Someone who had blood ties with the cultivation world. But he did not expect the owner of the box would be this man. From what he knew, this man was from the outside world and had no blood relationship with anyone from the cultivation world.

"Like she said before. It does not concern you. So, you don't have to know about that." Long Hui said.

"If you don't tell us, don't expect that you can walk out of our house just like that." The head of the Xie family threatened Long Hui and Yu Qi. He really wanted to know about that.
