Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Blue Crystal

Gu Fan and Su Hui sneered at Lisa’s side in secret, when it comes to cruelty, you Wandering Sea Ghosts seem to be no different.

Seeing Gu Fan’s expression, Lisa guessed what he was thinking and explained: "We didn’t have a choice, and we won’t tear people apart like those monster lizards. We still adhere to civilized means."

"Sure, sure, you’re civilized; you’re way better than those monsters." Gu Fan finished this sentence against his conscience, then realized another question: "If that’s the case, how did you Wandering Sea Ghosts come about?"

Lisa shrugged, with a helpless expression: "I wasn’t thrilled about it. Back then, we got a map, the king firmly believed that he could find the secret of eternal life there. A military force went there, and I, being a duke’s daughter, unfortunately followed along. We experienced countless hardships and barely found this place; it was a close call with total annihilation. If we hadn’t wiped out at least half of the monster lizards before, you wouldn’t have had a chance to escape."

Hearing this, Gu Fan and Su Hui showed their gratitude towards Lisa: "Thank you, Lisa, without you, we wouldn’t know about your good deeds."

"Don’t thank me yet, more or less half of the monster lizards were killed by the troops of Shennv Xuanhui. They were in a similar situation, nearly wiped out," Lisa said regretfully, "They were the most formidable group of women I’ve ever met. However, they were overconfident, thinking minor skills can handle all difficulties."

Gu Fan asked: "Are you saying that Shennv Xuanhui almost met total annihilation here and you Wandering Sea Ghosts had nothing to do with it?"

Lisa nodded on this: "Of course, this island is where we the Wandering Sea Ghosts reside. We don’t allow any trespassers, so we took action. In the heat of the battle between Shennv Xuanhui and the monster lizards, we struck them by surprise and even managed to capture two of Shennv Xuanhui’s members, forcing them to join us." After that, Lisa seemed quite content, as if she had won a major victory.

Gu Fan interrupted: "But you still couldn’t stop Shennv Xuanhui from successfully landing on the island, they took something away."

"How did you know?" Lisa looked at Gu Fan in surprise, then realized something, "Do you have any connections with Shennv Xuanhui, is that why you’re here?"

"You could say there’s a bit of a connection, but you could also say there isn’t." Gu Fan’s reply was cryptic, giving an impression that it was a complex matter, which annoyed Lisa, "Please make it clear, either you do or you don’t."

Seeing that Lisa had already shared so much, Gu Fan decided to trust Lisa this once, so he asked: "Lisa, do you know the Destiny Stone?"

"What, what thing?" Lisa seemed confused, this caused Gu Fan’s doubt: "It’s a stone that can change destiny. Didn’t Shennv Xuanhui take this thing away?"

Lisa suddenly understood: "Oh, you mean that stone. I was wondering why Shennv Xuanhui paid such a high price just to take away an inconspicuous stone."

Gu Fan was puzzled: "What? An inconspicuous stone? You, Lisa, must have been here longer than Shennv Xuanhui. Didn’t you notice anything special about this stone?"

Lisa quickly shook her head: "I’m sorry, there are so many interesting things here. I didn’t notice that seemingly ordinary stone, what was it called, the Destiny Stone? What does that have to do with you?"

"Because the Destiny Stone has changed my fate, made my life turbulent. That’s why I am here, hoping to find a solution. Do you understand me?" Gu Fan continued.

Lisa looked a bit confused, so Gu Fan put it in another way: "Let me put it this way. Suppose I’m an ordinary person who has no business coming to your island. However, the Destiny Stone changed my destiny and forced me to come here. Do you understand now?"

"I understand, but why did it lead you to this island, to toughen up, or to suffer? According to you, the Destiny Stone changed your fate and made you come here for a solution. Isn’t it pointless?" Lisa’s doubt awakened Gu Fan.

Su Hui also found it strange. Someone messes you up, then gives you advice on how to clean it up. That’s irrational.

"Could it be..." Gu Fan looked around, wondering if the Destiny Stone brought him here not to find a way to control the Destiny Stone, but something else?

Regardless, Gu Fan was resolute. He wanted to solve the issue regarding the Destiny Stone first, so he asked: "Lisa, tell me, where was the Destiny Stone originally placed?"

Lisa thought hard, then pointed in a direction and said: "Follow me."

"That’s fantastic!" Gu Fan felt with Lisa’s help, he could likely find a way to control the Destiny Stone, and could even use Lisa’s help to leave. Then, when he goes back, he can just tell his boss and Qian Feng that he found nothing. He just needs to keep them in the dark.

Gu Fan and Su Hui followed Lisa to a room where a blue crystal was floating in the sky, emitting a glow.

Lisa said: "The Destiny Stone was originally placed under that blue crystal; maybe that’s what you’re looking for."

"Really?" Gu Fan and Su Hui found it hard to believe, they didn’t expect it to be that easy.

However, Su Hui noticed something strange about the statues in the room. They looked terrified, entirely different from the statues outside with their natural expressions. It was as if the statues in this room knew something was about to happen.

Su Hui nudged Gu Fan and hinted at him to take a look around.

Gu Fan also noticed it and became suspicious. But by then, Lisa had already lifted up the blue crystal and handed it to Gu Fan, saying: "Alright, take this and go, the tide is about to set in."

Su Hui looked at the blue crystal right before her eyes, her heart pounding wildly. She had a premonition that they better not mess with that thing.

"Alright, thank you, Lisa. I didn’t expect you to have such a kind side. It seems I need to reevaluate you." Gu Fan looked very grateful, then his face darkened: "However, this room isn’t where the Destiny Stone was placed, is it? You lied to us, didn’t you?"
