Chapter 927 She Gave Up


    Harper tried to look for traces using her spiritual power, which she used to make the incantations work,


    and the half of the Sacred Seal she still had. It had already been seven years, and she wasn''t confident


    at all that she would be able discover as to where it was. She then decided that it wouldn''t be bad to


    look for clues first.


    ''I''ve been very lucky, but not lucky enough,'' she thought herself. Yes, there had been clues that kept


    her search going, but she still saw some iplete images. It was a man who destroyed the


    incantations with his blood. She was very familiar with his face.


    Suddenly, Harper''s eyes flew open. The incantations around her broke into a million pieces, like they


    did in the dream. Upon seeing this, Kile immediately went to her side to help her up. "Harper, are you


    all right?" he asked with great concern.


    With her hands on her chest and heaving somewhat heavily, Harper waved her hand and responded,


    "I''m fine, Kile. I''m just having a little trouble breathing."


    "Did you find any clues?" Kile asked cautiously. Harper looked a little pale, and by the looks of it, either


    because she was too tired or because she was so frightened.


    After a minute of silence, Harper took a deep breath and answered, "Rndo."

    Kile''s father, the emperor of the Wonder Kingdom, gasped in surprised. "How could that be possible?


    Rndo was only sixteen years old seven years ago! How was he able to break into our Imperial


    Pce to steal the Sacred Seal?" he asked in disbelief.


    "Blood," Harper said slowly. "Rndo''s blood destroyed the incantations!"


    "That''s impossible! How could his blood destroy them?" What the emperor was hearing from Harper


    wasn''t making any lick of sense. For him, even seven years ago, no sixteen-year-old teenage would be


    able to sneak into his pce, let alone steal the Sacred Seal! But if what Harper was saying was true,


    Rndo, even at that age, must have been incredibly powerful already. Now, that begged the question:


    how powerful was Rndo now?


    Only Harper knew how powerful Rndo really was: a match for Matthew, although his right hand had


    been crippled after saving her life. What was bothering her at that moment, however, was the fact that


    Rndo was able to use his blood to break the incantations. ''That only means he is very special, like


    me!"


    "I need to go back to Dragon Pass right away," Harper said at once. "Your Majesty, thank you for taking


    me here."


    The emperor just stared at Harper, wanting to find out more from her. "You..." he started. But after


    pausing for a while, he let her go. "Forget it. Go, and make sure you take care of yourself."


    "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I''m going now," Harper said, leaving.


    "Father, I''ll walk her out." Kile followed her out of the pce. It never urred to him that the Sacred


    Seal of the Wonder Kingdom was stolen by Rndo. ''He truly is incredibly powerful,'' he thought.


    "Harper, how powerful is Rndo?"


    "Very. The only way to describe it that he is a match for Matthew," Harper said slowly. "I know that they


    had dueled once, but at that time, none of them gave it their best. If they did, nobody knows what''s


    going to happen."


    "If he''s that powerful, how will you be able to take the Sacred Seal from him?" Kile asked with a worried


    face. Rndo certainly wouldn''t fall into the same trap again. Moreover, he had already taken


    advantage of Harper once by using the Heavenly Book. If she wanted the half of the Sacred Seal that


    was with Rndo, he definitely would also want to have the half in her hands.


    "It''s not easy to get anything from him," Harper replied calmly. She didn''t mind giving the Heavenly


    Books to Rndo since she already had the contents of the books, but with the Sacred Seal, she knew


    she had to pay bigger price for it.


    "I don''t want it," she said at once, responding to the thought she had in her mind rather than Kile, who


    was with her.


    "What?" Kile responded back, looking at Harper in confusion. "You don''t want what?"


    "I don''t need the Sacred Seal," Harper said calmly. "If getting the Sacred Seal means I''m going against


    my initial wish, I''d rather give it up."


    "But you need that, don''t you?" Kile was puzzled. During all these years, she had been looking for the


    Sacred Seal and the Heavenly Book. But it was not easy to get either of them. Now, she had known all


    the contents in the Heavenly Book There was only half Sacred Seal left. Why did she give up at this


    time?


    "Rndo wouldn''t allow me to take the Sacred Seal away," Harper said in a low voice. She didn''t feel


    anything abnormal when she released her spiritual power in the Great Jade Kingdom. It only meant


    Rndo gave her the Heavenly Book because knew how to seal the power in the Sacred Seal. He


    would never give her the other half seal, and if she wanted it, the cost she needed to pay would be out


    of her imagination.


    Kile never believed that Harper would give up so easily. So, he blurted out, "As far as I am concerned,


    you won''t give up easily."


    Harper smiled and said, "Kile, I might not have admitted defeat before and would try every means to


    get what I want from Rndo. But now, I won''t do that, because I know what I want the most."


    "What is it?" Kile asked curiously. What she wanted most was the freedom of the Qin n, right?


    "Man!" said Harper jokingly. "Of course, what I want most is man."


    Kile raised his lips and pressed his fingers together like a sissy, asking proudly, "What do you think of


    me?"


    "Good. But it''s a pity that you are not my man." Harper smiled, covering her mouth with her hand. "I


    only want to be with Matthew, and that''s all I want. The rest are second to him."


    "Why do you like that man?" Kile said indignantly. "Back then, when youmented on him, you just


    called him demon. Now you married him."


    Harper smiled slightly. "Things are always changing. I didn''t expect that I would be with him."


    Kile shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently, "As long as you are happy, I don''t mind. But


    what''s going on between you and Rndo? Why do I feel something weird between you two?"


    "For him, I''m a useful person," Harper said nonchntly. Rndo was a very rational man and knew


    very well what he wanted. He would remember his mission even under the circumstance of being


    poisoned by aphrodisiac. A man like him was both cold and frightening. The woman who loved him or


    the woman he loved deeply would eventually be the sacrifice of his ambition.


    "You really think highly of him."


    "He deserves it." Harper made the fairments on Rndo. "As apetitor, he deserves respect."


    "I thought you would like to tear him into pieces, but I didn''t expect you to give him such a high


    comment." Kile couldn''t see through Harper at all. If he was used ruthlessly by someone, he certainly


    couldn''t give such a reasonablement.


    Harper smiled and said, "Thank you, Kile. I''m leaving."


    "Let''s go back to the Mountain Pass together. I''m worried about my sister if she stays at the customs


    alone." Kile mounted his horse and followed Harper.


    "Why don''t you say goodbye to your father?" Harper asked.


    "I don''t need to say goodbye to anyone wherever I go. Besides, once I leave the city, the old man will


    know where I go and why I need to go," Kile muttered. Although his father seemed to be indifferent to


    the world, his heart was actually dark and full of schemes.


    "Kile." A voice came behind abruptly and stopped the two from leaving.


    There was a hint of impatience in Kile''s eyes. Yet, he turned his head and smiled brightly. "Hey, long


    time no see, brother. You are still so noble. I feel ashamed in front of you and even dare not look


    straight at you."


    The crown prince Magee was good-looking and noble. Harper had praised the royal family of the


    Wonder Kingdom more than once. They were all good-looking men and women, and it was impossible


    to find an ugly face. Even the maids and eunuchs in the pce were also quite good-looking.


    "I''ve heard that you have returned to our capital. I thought you would stay a little longer this time. Why


    are you leaving so soon?" Magee asked gently.


    "Well, Father asked me to be themander in chief of the Mountain Pass. As the prime minister of


    Great Jade Kingdom took away the beauty that I like, I had a big fight with him. I came back to exin


    to Father why I fought against the Great Jade Kingdom. After I finished exining, I have to go back to


    the Mountain Pass,"


    Kile grumbled. "Brother, you know what, Mountain Pass is a nasty ce. There are no delicacies of


    every kind, no soft pillow andfortable bed. And the most frightening thing is that the women there


    are all stocky, ugly and terrifying. I was so scared at the beginning that I didn''t dare to go out for a few


    days."


    "Really?" Obviously, Magee didn''t believe it. He stared at Harper who was in men''s clothes, but her


    outstanding appearance couldn''t be concealed. "This is..."


    "My new favorite." Kile smiled broadly. "I bet my taste is not bad this time. I can''t find a new favorite like


    him in the world."


    "New favorite? A man?" Magee asked his brother, but he looked at Harper. Getting angry, Kile patted


    his horse to stand in front of Harper and grumbled, "Brother, if anyone dares to take him away from me,


    I will fight back."


    Magee smiled slowly. "I''m just curious. You used to be surrounded by beauties, but today you came


    with a handsome man. So I paid attention to him for a few more second. Is he also going back to the


    Mountain Pass with you?"


    "Of course," Kile said innocently. "Women at mountains are so rude. In order to make me feel better, I


    have to bring such a gorgeous beauty with me. Otherwise, I won''t be able to eat anything."


    Magee had a meaningful smile on his face and said, "Well, in that case, I won''t hold you up. Good bye."


    "Okay. Let''s go," Kile said indifferently and drove away with Harper. Magee stopped the horse and


    looked at the receding backs of the two.


    "Guards, see my younger brother off!" Magee sneered. "I''ve heard that the Mountain Pass is in turmoil


    and chaos. If he were killed unfortunately, nobody would suspect me."


    "Yes, Your Highness."
