After the accident that day, in order to prevent someone from escaping.
Xiao Xue's two storage rings were now in Medusa's hands, being 'kept' by Medusa on her behalf.
Medusa did not check the storage ring containing A'Li, but she had rummaged through the other one quite thoroughly.
After all, the space inside a storage ring is only so large.
While Medusa was looking for healing medicine for Xiao Xue, she swept her Soul Power through it; she directly'saw' most of what was inside.
When Yun Yun and the others asked about Xiao Xue's situation, Medusa naturally thought of the tokens inside—
Inside Xiao Xue's storage ring, there was a [Zun] token, a [Heavenly Zun] token, and several [Soul] tokens.
These tokens were all 'useless little trinkets' according to A'Li.
To ordinary people, these tokens were indeed useless.
After all, the owners of these tokens had been dead for who knows how long, and even if any information remained, it would have long since become obsolete.
Therefore, to an ordinary person, it was nothing more than a useless piece of metal.
However, it was different for Xiao Xue, who had a System.
She could use these tokens to unlock [Hidden Plots].
In Medusa's view, these two [Zun] and [Heavenly Zun] tokens obviously represented Dou Zun.
Therefore, they must have been left for her by Xiao Xue's master.
These two tokens were likely similar to an 'ID card' and 'key' for a Disciple to return after finishing their training.
And those more numerous [Soul] tokens were likely just ordinary tokens.
They were probably thrown to subordinates for contact after successfully recruiting a certain force.
Therefore, she just took out a [Soul] token to use.
In Medusa's mind, the major forces of the Jia Ma Empire must have already been recruited by Xiao Xue and should have similar tokens.
Therefore, as long as she took out the token, even if she couldn't see Xiao Xue herself, she could prove the authenticity of what she said.
After all, generally speaking, no one would think that a Dou Zun would dare to attack the Disciple of a Peak Eighth-grade Alchemist.
And as for Xiao Xue suddenly going into seclusion now, if one really had to say something, there was actually nothing wrong with it.
For a Genius of Xiao Xue's level, having an epiphany and then going into seclusion was as easy as eating.
Therefore, this explanation was completely feasible.
However, Medusa did not know that this token actually came from a force with a unique corporate culture.
That is, the Gu Clan's Dou Huang expert Ling Ying, after being sent away by Xiao Xue and because Xun'er did not need protection for the time being;
He reported to Xun'er that he was following Xiao Xue, but in reality, he went to the Black-Corner Region to look for medicinal ingredients for a Break-Sect Pill.
The spread of news has a certain lag.
Especially since Xiao Xue was not yet famous to the point where even the Black-Corner Region and Jia Nan Academy knew of her.
At Jia Nan Academy, perhaps some might have heard the name Xiao Xue from the mouths of Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yu, and others.
But in the current Black-Corner Region, if one mentioned Xiao Xue, absolutely no one would know her.
Moreover, even within the Jia Ma Empire, the popularity of the news was not 100%.
So now, Xun'er, who was far away at Jia Nan Academy, and Xiao Yan, who was living like a savage in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, did not know that Xiao Xue had already become a Prince of the Snake-People Clan.
However, if Ling Ying had still stayed in the Jia Ma Empire, then he would likely have received the news of Xiao Xue becoming a Prince of the Snake-People Clan.
If that were the case, whether he would report it to Xun'er was unknown, but he would definitely rush over immediately to see what had happened.
Then, this matter would have become a big deal.
Therefore, Medusa could be considered to have secretly dodged a bullet.
Fortunately, Ling Ying had temporarily left the Jia Ma Empire, did not come to this desert, and did not see this scene.
Otherwise, if Ling Ying had seen Medusa take out the [Soul] token today and reported it to Xun'er;
There wouldn't even need to be a tomorrow; the people Xun'er called would be at your doorstep tonight.
