Any treasure bestowed by the Ancestor would be an absolute masterpiece!
Even for renowned figures like them, the temptation was immense!
Li Ye's expression stiffened, the corner of his mouth twitching. 'Just my luck,' he thought. 'Whatever I was afraid of is happening. I have no idea how they'll react when they see it.'

"N-no... that's not it... Um, Great-Grandfather, you... and all you esteemed seniors... you really want to see it?" Li Ye asked, his voice strained.
"Nonsense, of course we want to see! The Ancestor may have bestowed the treasure upon you, but you are still a member of the Honglou Sect!" Li Ye's great-grandfather declared magnanimously. "So, what are you afraid of? Take it out and let us see!"
'To hell with it!'
Li Ye gritted his teeth and slowly... drew from his robes... a red... bodice, still carrying the faint scent of a woman!
