Chapter 407: I Think You All Have Misunderstood Something
Seeing Aldrian staring speechlessly at the guqin before him, Xavier could only inwardly smile in satisfaction. Even though the young man was a formidable cultivator even capable of battling high emperor-stage beasts, he was still human, with desires like anyone else. This artifact was something the second prince believed would demonstrate their "sincerity" and entice the young man to take the bait.
Who wouldn’t want a high divine-grade artifact? It had been millions of years since the last successful creation of one. Such artifacts were highly coveted, and Xavier was certain that only the sovereign families of empires possessed them.
Seeing Aldrian rendered speechless by the artifact before him, Xavier already knew that he—no, the second prince had already succeeded in captivating this young man. With this, he only needed to push a little further and lure him to the capital.
"Where did you get this artifact?" Aldrian’s voice resounded in his ears.
Xavier wanted to answer, but for some reason, when he looked into Aldrian’s eyes again, he felt that something had changed. Pushing aside his curiosity, he replied,
"This artifact has been passed down for millions of years within the Losaris imperial family. I don’t know its exact origin, but it is said that one day, the imperial family suddenly came into possession of this high divine-grade artifact, causing a great uproar at the time."
"Many rumors about its origins have circulated since then. Some say that the imperial family secretly created it over many years and only revealed it after their success."
"There is also another rumor suggesting that the artifact was given to the imperial family by unknown noble family. However, this claim lacks strong evidence, as no noble family in recorded history has ever possessed an artifact of this caliber."
Aldrian, hearing Xavier’s answer, nodded inwardly—there was no lie in his words. It seemed he would have to investigate the matter himself, as the artifact before him was the real deal! This was the same guqin the woman had played in his vision. He looked at the guqin’s information again.
