But Vila disagreed. Though she was young, her upbringing in the Royal Court made her far more meticulous than her peers.
She knew very well that these hunting parties would not easily trust her words.
So she volunteered this plan herself, but was immediately met with Xue An’s firm refusal.
Xue An was very clear in his response.
If worse comes to worst, we can act directly. It may be more troublesome, but there’s no way I’ll let a young woman sacrifice herself like this.
However, Vila did not think the same way. She knelt in front of Xue An, and with just a few words, convinced him.
Her intention was simple: now that the Elf Race was at a critical moment of life and death, as a princess, how could she care about such trivialities?
Although Xue An could act directly, doing so might cause many unnecessary losses, far better to follow the original plan.
Left with no choice, Xue An reluctantly agreed but stated that Vila was only allowed to undo one button. If Zuo Shi and his people remained unconvinced, they would act directly.
Though Zuo Shi and others eventually believed, Xue An was still somewhat uneasy.
Actually, back at the Netherworld Ghost Market, as he passed by the Hundred Benevolence Store, he sensed the presence of The Celestial Mirror fragments on the two Elf women.
As he approached, the warnings from The Celestial Mirror distinctly confirmed to him that a piece was indeed in this Hundred Benevolence Store.
That’s why Xue An attended the auction, and seeing the eight Elf women there confirmed his suspicions.
Each of these elves bore obvious signs of The Celestial Mirror’s fragments, indicating two possibilities.
First, the Celestial Mirror fragments might be within these Elf tribes, but the likelihood is extremely low.
The second, and most likely, is that the resonance comes from the hunting party of the Hundred Benevolence Store.
Thus, after purchasing these elves, Xue An asked if they had seen a fragment.
Sure enough.
One of the elves had seen something resembling a fragment, and it was in Zuo Shi’s hand.
Therefore, Xue An intended to see this hunting party through a procurement method.
But upon meeting Zuo Shi and his group, Xue An discovered a change in circumstances.
He could no longer feel any fragment presence on Zuo Shi and his associates.
Could the plan be flawed?
This was the first thought that crossed Xue An’s mind.
However, he quickly steadied himself and decided to proceed with the plan.
After all, as the Elf had mentioned, the fragment was revealed when the hunting party captured them and planned their transport.
This was why Xue An wanted Vila to advance ahead.
He needed her to notify other Elf tribes to prepare themselves, not to panic, and to fully cooperate with him.
Originally, Xue An planned for Lisa and the other elves to go, but with the coincidental encounter of Vila and her status, she was the most suitable.
Soon, Xue An and party stealthily followed Vila to three massive trees.
As Vila said, the trees formed a triangular arrangement.
Vila stepped into the center of the three trees, then closed her eyes, seemingly communicating.
From a distance, Zuo Shi and his companions all held their breaths, waiting in anticipation.
Suddenly.
The three trees began to emit dazzling light, and a time-space gate gradually opened before everyone.
A tall Elf woman emerged, joyfully exclaiming, "Princess, you have returned!"
As soon as she spoke, Zuo Shi rushed out first, followed closely by his team, swarming towards the time-space gate like a pack of wolves.
