The exhibition hall is very large, covering several thousand square meters. The soft and bright multi-angle lighting presents the various objects as completely as possible.
The temperature and humidity in the space are constant, and it is dust-free and sterile.
Gao Xuan didn't like Hercules and Pan very much, but he had to admit that this exhibition hall of strange objects was very classy and grand.
Although they also collected rare objects, the noble families of the Twelve Star Regions were too stingy. They piled the rare objects in secret rooms, fearing that others would see them.
Golden blood is golden blood after all. Three thousand years ago, they were a wealthy family with a rich fortune.
In this exhibition hall, there are not only rare objects such as the Mechanical Iron Cicada, but also the cover page of the Book of Omniscience.
In fact, the mechanical iron cicada was clearly a very powerful and strange object, but it was incomplete. Hercules could see it, but he didn't care.
There are countless wonders in the vast galaxy. There are even more incomplete wonders. There is no need for Hercules to spend so much time on an incomplete wonder.
Since it is useless now, it is just a plaything.
This is also the generosity of the wealthy and powerful families, but it is very different from ordinary families who treat rare items as treasures.
As for the cover of this page of the Book of Omniscience, it is an extremely special and unique object.
This cover has only one real function: to mark the location of the Book of Omniscience.
The specific method of use is very simple, just use a pen to ask the location of the Book of Omniscience directly on the parchment, and it will show the correct answer.
Gao Xuan was really excited when he saw the cover. Getting this piece of paper was like finding the book of omniscience.
Although the conditions for using the Book of Omniscience were harsh, it was a truly top-level wonder. In some ways, the Book of Omniscience could even be called a divine artifact.
As for Helen using it to do her homework, it should be OK. After all, it is part of the Book of Omniscience. It just can't answer complicated questions.
Gao Xuan was of course excited when he saw the cover of the Book of Omniscience, but he knew that there were surveillance cameras in the room and someone was watching him and Helen.
So his expression was relaxed and natural, as if he was just out of curiosity.
At this time, you must be direct. You can't play tricks with Helen. There is no need to play tricks with the outside monitors.
He probably won't have a chance to come back in the short term. He pretended not to care and would come back to get it later. Anyone would know that there was something wrong with the paper.
Why resort to intrigue and conspiracy when you can get it honestly
Gao Xuan believed that if he told Helen directly what it was, Helen would be able to give it to him.
A girl in love won't care about these things.
But there is no need to let Helen know that the Book of Omniscience is a big trouble. If it falls into the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it, it will only cause disaster.
Helen didn't have any complicated thoughts. She opened the glass cover and was about to take out the paper, but suddenly Pan's sharp voice came from the microphone: "Helen, put the thing down."
Helen was a little surprised. She looked up. The dome of the huge exhibition hall was actually full of cameras. She didn't know where Pan was watching her.
She said a little unhappy: "This is my business, don't worry about it."
Pan is very busy every day, either studying art with friends or hosting cocktail parties and dances. She only takes a few days off when she gives birth.
Pan naturally had no interest in raising children, and the seven children she gave birth to were all raised by other people.
Although Helen was very beautiful when she was a child, Pan didn't like her very much. They only saw each other once every few months.
To Helen, her mother Pan was like a bad-tempered superior who always made various demands on her and asked her to complete various tasks.
Apart from this, the two of them would not say anything else.
Hercules doted on Helen and visited her almost every day, playing with her and reading with her. Although they did not spend much time together every day, their feelings were very deep.
Helen was bold and reckless, and it was all because of Hercules's behavior.
Helen was very close to Hercules, but she felt complete awe and disgust towards Pan, with almost no other feelings.
Pan and Helen had quarreled many times because of Gao Xuan. Helen also realized that her mother wanted her to marry Parritt or other nephews, and her original intention was to get the family property by marrying her.
This wiped out her fear of her mother. Now there was only strong disgust. She didn't want to listen to any orders from Pan.
Helen stuffed the parchment paper into Gao Xuan's hands and said angrily, "These are all my family's things. I can take them if I want and give them to whoever I want. How dare a stranger control me..."
Helen became angry and didn't want to watch anymore, so she pulled Gao Xuan out.
Pan was furious. Helen actually said she was from an outsider!
The most hateful thing is that this is true. According to the tradition of Hercules' family, Pan is an outsider and only an appendage of Hercules. Separated from Hercules, she has no legal right to dispose of Hercules' property.
Helen was the legitimate heir and was listed as the first in line to inherit. If anything happened to Hercules, she would automatically become the head of the family and inherit all the wealth, power and status.
Pan didn't care about the strange object, she just wanted to find an opportunity to vent her anger.
Helen's tough and ruthless words irritated her. Pan couldn't stand such rudeness!
Pan wants to teach Helen and Gao Xuan a lesson.
Regardless of whether Gao Xuan had a unique vision and discovered the value of the rare objects, or he just wanted to have fun out of curiosity, Pan had to take the two rare objects back.
Pan, accompanied by his servants and his nephew Parrit, angrily arrived at the entrance of the underground palace.
Helen and Gao Xuan just came out of the underground palace and the two sides bumped into each other.
Seeing Pan's angry face, Helen felt a little guilty. Although she hated her, she was her mother after all. She could make a few sarcastic remarks from a distance, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of her.
Helen held Gao Xuan's hand a little nervously, but her chin was held high.
Of course, she still followed the strict etiquette she had been taught since childhood and greeted Pan.
Gao Xuan also smiled and nodded in greeting.
No matter how hateful the other person is, she is still your cheap mother-in-law. You still have to follow basic etiquette. Not only respect the other person, but also respect yourself.
Pan didn't return the gift. She looked straight at Helen and said, "Helen, you can't just give away rare items."
Helen was a little guilty at first, but when Pan started to criticize her, she became angry and said, "My dear mother, these rare things are often given as small gifts. What's wrong with me taking two?"
“There’s a problem because I don’t allow it.”
Pan said to Gao Xuan: "Please put down the two rare objects. They are not yours to take. You are not qualified to take them."
Gao Xuan smiled but said nothing. No matter what Pan said, he would not be so obedient as to hand over the things.
He could certainly reason with Pan, but it was pointless. Pan did not seem like a reasonable person.
For such people, any response will only make them worse. It is best to ignore them.
Of course, this is also due to Pan's special status. If it were someone else, Gao Xuan would have stepped on her face and had a good talk with her about the principles of being a human being.
Pan frowned. Gao Xuan dared to ignore her!
"Gao Xuan, taking something without permission is stealing. Do you understand?"
Pan sternly reprimanded him, "You are a guest in my home, but you steal my property. This is very shameful."
"Mom, don't talk nonsense."
Helen couldn't help it, "I sent the things!"
Pan ignored Helen and said to Gao Xuan, "If you have any sense of shame, just hand it over."
Gao Xuan smiled. He said this to the right person. He just has no shame!
It's a pity that there are too many people around, and Helen is beside me, so it's hard to say such damaging words directly, which makes me feel a little unhappy.
At such a close distance, Gao Xuan's smile was as bright as the sun, even to the point of being dazzling to Pan.
Pan had to admit that Gao Xuan was indeed handsome, not to mention that her family members could not compare to him. Even in the Milky Way, there were probably few people who could compare to Gao Xuan in terms of appearance.
The most important thing is that this 19-year-old boy is thick-skinned enough.
Facing her accusation, the other party actually smiled so brightly. No wonder Helen was fascinated by Gao Xuan.
No girl can resist a handsome, powerful and shameless boy.
Pan decided to teach Gao Xuan a lesson, to let him know the cruelty of the world and that the class gap was an insurmountable chasm that he could not cross.
She waved her hand: "Take your things back."
Parritt walked towards Gao Xuan with two servants, with a hint of pride in Parritt's eyes.
No matter how high Gao Xuan's swordsmanship is, it is not Gao Xuan's turn to be presumptuous here.
Before Parritt even got to Gao Xuan, he heard Gao Xuan yell, "How dare you!"
As the surging sword intent rushed into Parritt's spiritual world, Parritt's silver sword intent core was immediately submerged. His face was full of horror, but he was completely unable to resist.
The majestic and powerful sword intent shattered all his sword intent, including his will.
Parritt didn't have the courage to resist, and there was only endless fear in his heart. He felt that he was about to die, drowned by the endless sword intent.
Parritt knelt on the ground, prostrating himself, trembling. He didn't even know what he was doing, but instinctively made the weakest gesture to show his harmlessness.
The two servants following Parritt also knelt on the ground with pale faces and did not dare to look up.
They were only level 7 or 8 swordsmen, how could they contend with Gao Xuan's sword intent? Gao Xuan had better show mercy, otherwise the two would be killed on the spot with just a sweep of his sword intent.
Even a family like Hercules's couldn't possibly have swordsmen or sword masters to serve them.
Pan himself is a silver swordsman, and he is at home, so it is even more impossible for him to bring a master with him.
The other servants were also suppressed by the sword intent and knelt on the ground.
Pan was able to hold on, but he was overwhelmed by Gao Xuan's Tianshui sword intent and was unable to breathe. He was like a dead branch in the sea breeze, shaking and trembling, looking indescribably pitiful.
At this time, all Pan's anger was gone.
Faced with the surging Tianshui sword intent, Pan could only feel fear and had no ability to be angry.
Pan knew very well that Gao Xuan was much stronger than her. As long as the sword was unleashed, she would die on the spot.
Although she felt that Gao Xuan would not dare to kill her, facing the suppression of absolute power, her thoughts and judgments were useless.
Helen was very happy. She glanced at Pan who was speechless, then left with Gao Xuan with a smile.
It took several minutes for Pan to catch his breath, but Parritt and his followers were still lying on the ground.
Pan was extremely angry. She gritted her teeth and said to herself, "This matter is not over yet!"
