Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen 158 Chapter 155: I want my necklace.

"I want to select my gift on my own. Can you give me what I want?" Xu Ming asked the Sect Master. He wanted to ask him for what he actually wanted.

"Of Course. As long as it's not something outrageous, I can give you whatever you want!" the Sect Master said.

"I want an item of mine. It's on someone else. I want nothing but that item," Xu Ming said. "I will accept you as master if you give me that item."

"Sure. If that item is yours, then you deserve it. Tell me who took it. I promise you that I will get it to you," The Sect Master said, proudly.

Elder Mu somehow understood what he wanted to talk about. She couldn't help but imagine how the Sect Master would react when he found out that the item is with his other personal disciple.

"A girl called Battle Fairy Mia has it. She was the one who brought me to this sect when I was unconscious, and I'm pretty thankful for her. Without her, I don't even know if I would be able to reach that level, but after I woke up, I was told that she had my necklace. I want that necklace," Xu Ming said.

"That useless coffin-shaped necklace that she considers special is yours?" the Sect Master asked.

"Yes. I wanted to meet her to get it back, but I wasn't allowed in the core sect. I've been working hard to get entry to the core sect, and now I finally have an opportunity. I will become your disciple if you give me my necklace," Xu Ming said.

"Alright. Come with me," the Sect Master said smilingly as he brought his flying beast out of his storage ring. 

He and Elder Wu got on the beast. Xu Ming also climbed on it.

The Beast started flying in the air and left.

"I wonder how this will go. It shouldn't be a problem now that the sect master has agreed," Elder Mu muttered. She was left behind, and she didn't have such high authority to travel with the Sect Master.

She couldn't understand why the Sect Master was allowing Elder Wu to go with him.

Generally, her position is higher than Elder Wu, who was an Outer Sect Elder, but Elder Wu seemed pretty close to the Sect Master.

She shook her head ultimately as she gave up thinking about it.

She brought her beast out of her storage ring and started flying away.

The Sect Master stopped before the courtyard of Battle Fairy  Mia.

The beast landed in front of the courtyard.

The Sect Master walked towards the door and knocked on it.

After a few minutes, Mia opened the door.

She was surprised to see the Sect Master with a young boy. 

She didn't recognize the boy as the one she had brought back to the sect.

"Master," She joined her fist to her palm as she bowed down a little.

"Hmm, Mia, I'm here to ask you a question. Do you have a coffin-shaped necklace?" the Sect Master asked.

"Yes, Master. You know it already," Mia said as she showed the necklace that was hidden by her dress.

"Yes, you told me this. Can you tell me where you found it?" the Sect Master asked.

"I found it when I was coming back from a Mission. It was lying on the ground," she replied.

"Hmm?" the Sect Master looked towards the boy in confusion.

"Are you sure that you didn't take it from a kid?" he asked.

"No, Master. I found it on the ground, but I did see a kid lying unconscious nearby. I brought him back and left him in the Outer Sect. He should be a servant there," she said.

"Oh, so that's what happened. The thing is that the necklace belongs to that boy. It should be that it fell down when he lost consciousness. He came to me to ask you to return the necklace," The Sect Master said.

"It was his? Ah," Mia looked at the necklace in hesitation.

"Can I give that boy something else in return? I... I'm ready to give him a treasure even more precious than it. As you had said, this item is not even an artifact. He should be happy if I give him an artifact," Mia said.

"What do you say, boy?" the Sect Master asked Xu Ming.

"Hmm? Is he that boy? How did he get so big... Wait a minute, is he the one that had a massive growth because of a Cultivation breakthrough? The new number 1 in the Inner Sect?" Mia asked as she looked at Xu Ming.

"Yes. He is the same person. And not only that, from today, he is the Core Sect Disciple. He became the youngest person to enter the core sect. He also took only four days to complete the Core Trials," The Sect Master said as he smiled.

"Hmm?" Mia was surprised to hear that. She hadn't expected that the boy she heard about would succeed in the Core Trial in his first try, let alone finish it in just four days.

"I can give you an Earth Grade Sword in exchange for this useless necklace," Mia said to Xu Ming.

'Hmph, Such a show-off. Does she think she can buy anything with treasures? That Idiot doesn't even know that the thing she called useless is one of the top treasures of the Heavens,' Valeria thought as she rolled her eyes.

"Firstly, I would like to thank you for saving me and for bringing me to the sect. You helped me a lot," Xu Ming started speaking as he thanked her.

"Secondly, Nothing can replace the position of that necklace in my heart. I want no treasure. I just want that necklace," Xu Ming said.

"What is so special about that necklace?" Mia asked.

Even the Sect Master looked curiously at Xu Ming, waiting to hear his response.

"This necklace is the last thing that my father gave me before he died. It's the last bit of family that I have left. Please return the necklace," Xu Ming said as he looked at the necklace. His face was filled with emotions as he remembered the face of his father when he threw the necklace towards him.

"Family bonds shouldn't be destroyed. Even if you like the necklace, it belongs to him. The necklace is just a necklace for you, but it is much more than that for the boy. I think you should return it," Elder Wu told Mia.
