Though they had met only once, with Situ Qingyin’s memory, she quickly recalled this white-haired girl and her name.
With some surprise, Situ Qingyin smiled: “Bingtong is here too?
Quite a twist of fate.”
Meeting in a foreign secret realm thousands of miles away indeed felt like fate.
“Qingyin…
ƝονǤο.ᴄᴑ
Sister.”
“Hm?” Situ Qingyin looked at Luo Bingtong, greatly astonished, “You can talk now?”
Luo Bingtong nodded: “Mm.”
Su Yuan interjected: “She just started speaking a few months ago.”
It was kind of a secret that Luo Bingtong was a Star Beast.
Explaining it would be a hassle, so Su Yuan didn’t elaborate.
Situ Qingyin, being very intelligent, didn’t press further.
She smiled and said, “No matter what, it’s good news!”
After the greetings, Situ Qingyin sighed: “These days, I’ve passed a few Ten-pointed Snowflake challenges.
Though I obtained two precious third-level materials, there’s still no Snow Crystal Stone…”
Su Yuan wasn’t surprised that this “Great Flame Coin Warrior” managed to pass the Ten-pointed Snowflake challenges.
With a flash in his hand, he produced a large piece of snow-white ice crystal-like stone.
“What do you think of this?”
Situ Qingyin was initially taken aback, then overjoyed: “Snow Crystal Stone?
It’s really Snow Crystal Stone!
You actually found it!”
Situ Qingyin took the Snow Crystal Stone from Su Yuan’s hand, inspecting it constantly, her face filled with intense joy and excitement, her eyes even slightly reddened.
Such a strong reaction surprised Su Yuan.
After all, it was just a blue Star Artifact at most, right?
Moreover, Situ Qingyin didn’t seem to be an Ice Element Star Card Master herself.
Could it be that this Star Artifact was meant for someone important?
“Sorry, I got a bit too excited…”
After a while, Situ Qingyin calmed down and carefully stored the Snow Crystal Stone in her ring.
She looked at Su Yuan, genuinely grateful: “Thank you, Su Yuan.
Without you, I might never have gotten the Snow Crystal Stone this time.”
Su Yuan shook his head slightly: “I promised you, I was just doing what I was supposed to do.
I didn’t expect the Snow Crystal Stone to be so important to you?”
“It is very important.” Situ Qingyin nodded, contemplating for a moment before explaining, “Actually, this Ice Star Artifact I need to craft is for my parents.”
Su Yuan was taken aback.
For her parents?
So, his previous guess was wrong, and Situ Qingyin’s parents were still alive?
“Sorry, I always thought…”
“No worries.” Situ Qingyin smiled, shaking her head, “Though they’re alive, they’ve been in a ‘half-dead’ state for years, never waking up.”
From a young age, Situ Qingyin had lived with her grandfather, Situ Bai.
All these years, she had no one to confide in.
But now, facing Su Yuan, Situ Qingyin slowly recounted this story for the first time…
As it turned out, Situ Qingyin’s father, Situ Hao, was once a renowned Refining Master in the Great Flame Country.
Situ Hao’s artifact refining style was unique and spontaneous.
Despite his young age, his refining skills were already on par with the older generation’s Refining Masters like Situ Bai.
Situ Hao had crafted two pseudo-legendary Star Devices and was even hailed in the refining world as the “most promising candidate to craft a legendary Star Device in thirty years!”
But on one artifact refining convention trip, Situ Hao’s family was ambushed by foreign enemies.
Those attackers were extremely powerful and unidentified.
The guardians accompanying the Situ family were quite strong, with the highest being a Burning Sun Level expert.
Yet even so, they couldn’t withstand the ambushers.
