Facing Yang Yuxin's request, Tang Wenji was initially taken aback before letting out a wry laugh, "About that... I am truly sorry, but three Spirit Stones have been placed inside the Ancestral Tablets, leaving me with only one in hand."
The news that the Maoshan Lineage had obtained thirty Spirit Stones and a Storage Talisman did not spread; those present at the time were only the three people from Maoshan, along with Feng Jun's five disciples—even Gazi wasn't there.
So after deliberation between Tang family's father and daughter, they decided that if anyone were to ask about the Spirit Stones, they would say they only had one, with the remaining three embedded within the Ancestral Tablets—in fact, this had been their original plan before the Stone of Fate trade came up.
And if someone wanted to take a Spirit Stone from the Ancestral Tablets, they would have to go through Feng Jun.
