"I'll trade the Water and Fire Seal for your Mystic Rhythm Sword!" Xin Huohuo said.
She had thought it through. The Water and Fire Seal was undeniably important—it was her family's responsibility. Her father had even gone missing, his fate unknown, in his effort to protect both the seal and her, the one who bore the divine seal. But two things had changed. First, the Water and Fire Seal's existence was now exposed. As a mere mortal, she feared she could no longer protect it and would only invite disaster for possessing such a treasure. Second, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba were facing a calamity. What could be more important than the lives of her family and loved ones?
So she couldn't worry about all that. With the fire already singeing her eyebrows, she had to deal with the immediate crisis. Even if her father were still alive and learned of her decision, he probably wouldn't blame her. Hadn't he given up everything for the sake of family all those years ago?
