Chapter 838 The Secret of Twelve Lotus Seeds
How could Sienna be satisfied with this? She looked at the old man with anger, but perhaps because of their friendship, she did not fight immediately.
"I don't know why you do so, but neither of us could do anything with Twelve Buddha Lotus Seeds, and you lost it. You know what the other martial artists do to you if they know about it?"
"I know that," said the old man with a wry smile.
"But I've never regretted it."
Somehow, Sienna had calmed down. She said plainly, "I won't tell what I know, but it will not be kept secret for long. One of them will be able to find out Twelve Lotus Seeds soon. And they will find out about your missing piece. So, good luck.”
Hearing what Sienna said, Finn could feel that she was suppressing her dissatisfaction, and she was disappointed.
What made Finn even more curious was Twelve Buddha Lotus Seeds. He had never heard of it, but it reminded him of the number of Martial artists. If they were corresponding to each other, then Twelve Lotus Seeds should be owned by the twelve Martial Artists.
But what exactly they were. Finn looked at Sienna, but he didn't dare ask. Even he asked, he wouldn't get the answer.
Now that the old man had declined Sienna's request, there was no need for them to stay here.
When they were about to leave, Rocco stayed Finn.
As Finn was taken aside, he asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
But Rocco didn’t answer him and looked serious.
"About last night?” Finn asked again.
"It has nothing to do with me, so I won't take it to heart." continued Finn.
But Rocco turned pale. After a while, he said depressingly, "Sure enough, you guessed it. Well, I was wondering how to get you... Forget it."
Finn looked at him. Rocco was talking about the accident this morning. Finn had not thought it was Rocco who killed the young man, but when he noticed Rocco's dodging eyes, he knew it might be related with Rocco.
But as Finn said, he wouldn't take it to heart, and he didn't think the red-haired man was a nice guy.
But Rocco couldn't believe what Finn was saying. He was silent for a few seconds before he said.
"I'll tell you where the Twelve Lotus Seeds are, in exchange for your keeping my secret.”
Finn looked at him in surprise. He didn't think of doing anything, but now that Rocco was willing to tell him, of course he was interested.
"It is reasonable, but how can I believe that what you say is true? Even your father is not willing to say it, it makes sense that you won't say it either.”
Hearing that Finn said, Rocco didn't give a direct answer.
"I'm telling you because of my father. He should not bear the responsibility, but just because of a promise, he has to be responsible for the rest of his life."
Finn was silent, but he didn't know why, so he couldn't make any comments.
"But after I tell you this, you can't tell my secret out, and you and the woman had better not try to find it. My father told me that the person who took his lotus seeds is very strong.”
Finn nodded and agreed. He had never thought about reporting Rocco. As for the lotus seeds, he might tell Sienna about it, and he might not do so.

"Down the Sealowe Building, Darius Avatar," Rocco said.
Finn wanted to ask again, but Rocco said, "I hope you can keep your promise."
Then he turned straight back, leaving Finn alone.
Finn didn't ask further and headed back to the car.
But as soon as he got into the car, Sienna asked him, "What did he say to you?"
Finn had just sat down and looked at Sienna with some curiosity. "About the Twelve Buddha Lotus Seeds."
Finn said it casually, but Sienna wasn't surprised, which made Finn wondered what would stir her feelings.
He was waiting for Sienna to ask further, but she was silent.
"Don't you want to know where the lotus seeds are?" asked Finn curiously.
Yes
"Then why don’t you ask me?"
"Because you'll tell me."
Finn looked at Sienna, who seemed to be taking it for granted. He didn't want to tell her, but he did at last.
"I will tell you the whereabouts of Lotus Seeds, and you will tell me about the Twelve Buddha Lotus Seeds.”
It sounded like a very reasonable deal, and Finn didn't think Sienna would refuse him, but he was surprised to hear Sienna say no.
"Why, don't you want to know the whereabouts of the lotus seeds?" "It has nothing to do with you. If I mention it, you will be involved it, and it will do you no good," said Sienna.
"That makes me even more curious.”
Sienna looked at Finn.
"It might cost you your life.”
Finn didn't care. His strength had encountered bottlenecks for too long. He wanted to reach the Martial Artist realm and to experience another world.
And maybe the Twelve Buddha Lotus Seeds would be a chance, a chance for him to see another world.
"One has to have some fun in life. Don't you think so?" Finn said jocularly.
But Sienna didn't answer. She just looked out the window.
"If you wish to know about it, I did what I could, and I hope you will not regret it."
As she spoke, she thought for a moment, as if wondering where to begin.
"The Great Harmony of heaven and earth is a very lofty ideal. It is also a dream the ancient people would pursue, but the ancient people lost themselves in the process of pursuing the dream.”
"You may think that the Martial Artist will be the topmost pursuit and the highest level of Martial arts, but in fact it is not. Great Harmony is.” "Great Harmony?" Finn didn't know what it meant. He knew a city called Great Harmony.
"Great Harmony, originally from the Book of Rites, implied the unity of the world, an idealized utopia, but no one knew that it was also a realm of martial arts, which would make a martial practitioners to spread himself in a relaxed way, and freed from any constraints and shackles.”
