Chapter 260 Harold: After the matter is done...
"Of course I know it's a ring. What I mean is, why do you have a ring of this style? Did you see me wearing it and secretly buy the same one?"
There was clear dissatisfaction in Kavi's voice.
El Haisen: "Is that what you think?"
"What else? Isn't it that you finally realized that my taste is far superior to yours, so you followed me to buy accessories? If that's the case, at least tell me! I don't dislike you. Do I look like the kind of person who would get mad at you for following the trend?"
Kavi was making noise outside.
Harold was stunned for a moment, then he turned the book over, sat up, and walked out of the bedroom.
"Interesting guess, but unfortunately lacks logic." Alhaisen noticed the movement in Harold's room and looked in that direction. "Harold sent it. Why, didn't he tell you?"
"Harold?!" Kavi followed Elhaisen's gaze and asked dissatisfiedly, "Is this true? It turns out that I'm not the only one with that gift? Didn't you say it was a thank-you gift for the senior?"
Harold twitched his lips. Ha, I never thought that you would stab me in the back after a year. You are such a person.
Harold rolled his eyes at Elhaisen and said, "It's a thank you gift. At that time, not only Senior Kavi, but also Senior Elhaisen gave me some academic advice.
So I prepared two gifts and originally wanted Senior Elhaisen to deliver them, but he refused. ”
"Oh...Is that so?" Kavi was a little disappointed, then he shook his head vigorously as if he had thought of something, squinted his eyes and looked at Elhaisen and said,
"No! Even if that was the case, why didn't you tell me and just watched me walking around outside wearing the same ring on my hand? Isn't that weird!"
After saying this, Kavi glanced at Elhaisen's neck and saw a necklace on it. The silver metal chain passed through a silver ring inlaid with emeralds and naturally fell on Elhaisen's chest.
Kavi's expression was quite complicated: "You even strung it on a necklace and hung it outside! What if others see it and misunderstand? My reputation will be completely ruined!"
It’s okay, your worry is unnecessary, I have the same model here...wait, that seems to cause another misunderstanding.
Harold's thoughts drifted as he unconsciously fumbled for the ring in his pocket.
"Let me correct a few things. I have been wearing this necklace for a year. According to the decree issued by the Fatwa Council, scholars are not allowed to wear rings. In order to avoid losing it, I asked someone to make this necklace-"
Kavi interrupted: "Even if you say so—"
Elhaisen did not give Kavi a chance to finish his words, and continued in a leisurely tone: "According to Harold, when a fatal injury is received, the ring will open a shield to protect the wearer.
I looked through ancient documents and found that the talismans engraved on the ring were those used by the Liyue Immortal Clan. The ring's effects are most likely real, so I have no reason not to carry it with me.
If you observe carefully, you will find that I am not hiding anything. I am really surprised that you have not discovered this until today.
But if you insist on me correcting it, to avoid conflict, I can accept your proposal - where do you want me to wear it, on my hand? "
Kavi opened his mouth and said dryly: "...Okay, then you wear it."
After all, safety is the most important thing. The Great Sage is so cruel, who knows what he will do in the future. With this ring, at least there is an extra layer of security, Kavi thought.
...
A week later, Harold estimated that Elhaisen was already familiar with all the affairs of the clerk, so he found a time when Elhaisen was making coffee in the kitchen and said:
"Senior Elhaisen, if it's convenient, I would like to ask you to help me find something."
After the matter is accomplished, I will let you be promoted to a higher position and become a great sage of Xumi, Harold thought secretly in his heart.
Elhaisen paused while pouring the coffee, then turned to look at Harold and said, "Tell me about it. If it doesn't take too long, I can help."
