468 Shocking Secret (1)
Yu Wan had seen Gu beads before, but she had never seen so many of them. And they were all embedded in a box. Had she bought all the Gu beads in the world?
The Gu bead was actually no different from ordinary beads. The only difference was that it would shine in her hand.
Dong Xian’er’s reaction was even more surprised than hers. Her gaze was fixed on the group of sparkling beads. The box was hers, so she naturally recognized these beads. Her eyes told Yu Wan that no one had ever “lit up” all the beads.
“You…” Dong Xian’er’s expression turned serious.
Yu Wan quickly took out the lingzhi and placed the box on the table. Without changing her expression, she said, “You didn’t see anything. You’re seeing things.”
Dong Xian’er was originally stunned, but when she heard these words, she burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Yu Wan wrapped the red lingzhi in a handkerchief and stuffed it into a small compartment in her wide sleeve.
Dong Xian’er slowly sat on a chair and took a sip of tea. She said unhurriedly, “I’m laughing at the fact that I seem to have discovered an incredible secret.”
“Oh.”
“You don’t want to hear it?”
“No.”
“But I want to tell you.”
This person!
Dong Xian’er laughed and said, “Actually, there are many rumors in the Capital. One of them is that there’s something fishy about the position of the Queen. Although you’re not from Nanzhao…”
How could you tell? The ex was so terrifying! I really want to go home!
“However, I believe you’re not unfamiliar with the title of the Queen. You should know why she became the Queen, right?” Without waiting for Yu Wan to answer, Dong Xian’er continued, “She found the Ten Thousand Gu King for Nanzhao. The Ten Thousand Gu King is regarded as the holy artifact of Nanzhao, and the holy artifact recognizes her as its master. She became the Queen protected by the Gu God, so the Emperor conferred her as the Queen. All of this can be said to be what everyone wanted, or it can be said to be a matter of course. However, there are rumors that… the holy artifact is missing. The holy artifact that recognizes its master won’t leave its master casually unless… the owner recognition is fake.”
Yu Wan’s face was filled with “I really don’t want to think so much”, “I just want a Lingzhi”, and “Please let me go, ex”.
Wait, why was she telling her this? Yu Wan had an ominous feeling.
Dong Xian’er stood up and elegantly walked in front of Yu Wan. She stretched out her fair fingertip and lifted Yu Wan’s chin. “Do you know how many Gu beads are on this box? 108. No matter how powerful the Gu King is, it can’t make half of them light up.”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “You’re ignorant. Don’t blame others for not being able to do it.”
Dong Xian’er smiled. “Do you know how many Great Gu Masters I’ve found to try?”
Let’s say that this ex didn’t casually find a Great Gu Master to play with, right?
“Maybe your bead is broken.” She refused to admit that she had the Ten Thousand Gu King!
Dong Xian’er approached Yu Wan and said ambiguously, “Or perhaps you have the holy artifact of Nanzhao.”
“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. The holy artifact of Nanzhao belongs to the Queen. Are you hoping to use the Queen to take revenge on me for not doting on you?” Yu Wan didn’t like to argue, but when they really fought, every word she said was bloody.
As expected, Dong Xian’er choked on these words and did not know how to refute for a moment. Yu Wan took advantage of her daze and walked out of the room with her head held high. Dong Xian’er came back to her senses and narrowed her eyes at Yu Wan’s back. “I have a way to figure out if it’s the holy artifact of Nanzhao!”
After leaving the courtyard, Yu Wan heaved a long sigh of relief. This courtesan was not as difficult as she looked! Fortunately, she had slipped away quickly and did not let her catch the evidence. Otherwise, once word got out, she would not be able to find the medicinal primer and would instead lure the Queen over to kill her to obtain the Gu.
When Yu Wan returned to the waterside pavilion with the Red Lingzhi, the Little Commandery Princess and the others had already left. Senior Yue also had something on and bade farewell. It was Jiang Hai who sent him off. Qing Yan relayed Senior Yue’s words to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was shocked. She did not expect this seemingly inconspicuous Gu Master Meng to be so powerful. Fortunately, Yan Jiuchao had dealt with that Yu fellow. Otherwise, if Yu fellow had told Great Gu Master Meng about them killing Fei Luo, they would probably not be able to obtain this Red Lingzhi today.
Yu Wan told Qing Yan and Jiang Hai about that Yu fellow’s visit. The two of them were stunned. So dangerous? Fei Luo was the disciple of the Great Gu Master Meng?
