Chapter 1321: Truth

A hundred years ago, when the workers were working, they dug out an ancient cultural relic.

Linxi was a recorded ancient city in history. Back then, when the cultural relics were dug out, the officials specially sent a specialized archaeological team to help identify the cultural relics.

The inspection team stayed in Linxi for three days, ate, and drank for three days. They did not even see the cultural relics. However, they received a large number of gifts and happily returned to Beijing with the inspection report without any abnormalities. This matter was put on hold.

However, after the inspection team left, the Feng family and the Chu family fell into a state of panic. They sealed the entire Linxi City.

As the two families had immense power, Linxi was sealed for an entire month.

A month later, something happened to the Feng family and the Chu family.

During that period of time, almost every day, all sorts of strange murders would happen in the two families.

At first, the police could help them cover it up, but after the matter blew up, even the local police could not cover up so many things.

Outsiders did not know the details, but three months later, the Feng family and the Chu family collectively moved out of China and became the most shocking news of that era.

“I don’t know the details either.” Old Master Jun picked up his teacup and took another sip.

He had heard these things from the people in power of the Jun family at that time. When he was born, the Feng and Chu families had already left China.

Seeing Jun Shiling deep in thought, Old Master Jun was a little puzzled. “Why are you suddenly interested in this??”

“Grandpa, why didn’t you mention this before?” The Emperor Yuan that Old Master mentioned reminded Jun Shiling of his younger brother that Xia Wanyuan had once mentioned. Her younger brother’s final title was Emperor Yuan Xia.

“Why are you talking about this?” Old Master Jun shook his head. “Our Jun family’s ancestral teachings are to walk a solid path. I don’t want you to know about these gods and ghosts. Let’s not talk about whether that desire is true or not. Even if it’s true, how can there be a free lunch in the world?”

To be able to obtain endless treasures, correspondingly, you would have to pay a huge price. Just like the Feng family and the Chu family. Back then, so many people had died for no reason, but it was all for nothing.

“I understand, Grandpa. Continue with your work. I’ll go back first.” Jun Shiling looked at the time and stood up. “I have a meeting later.”

Now that Jun Shiling was quite mature, even if he told Jun Shiling those things, Old Master was not worried about what would happen to Jun Shiling. He smiled and waved his hand. “Go, go. Next time you come, remember to bring Xiao Bao over. I haven’t seen him in a long time. I miss him so much.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the courtyard, Jun Shiling’s eyes darkened as he looked at the alley filled with sunlight.

He had always been a firm materialist. Even Xia Wanyuan’s appearance was a coincidence.

However, from the looks of it, there might be another reason for Xia Wanyuan’s arrival.

Obtaining Emperor Yuan, obtaining the world.

Was this prophecy true? Had the corpse of the Yuan Emperor in the ancient tomb been taken away by the Chu family?

At this moment, in the Chu family in Continent F.

Chu Yi was discussing something with the local leaders in the front hall when Su Yao secretly sneaked into Chu Yi’s study.

After such a long time, Su Yao knew that Chu Yi had always hated others spying on his life. He would never install cameras at his workplace.

Su Yao entered the study and closed the door. She walked to the desk and flipped through the documents on it.

As Su Yao read, she quickly memorized the contents of the document in her mind.

According to Chu Yi’s habit of holding meetings, he would be back in half an hour. Su Yao raced against time to fill her head with all sorts of documents.

Time passed minute by minute. In the front hall, Chu Yi smiled and bade farewell to the local leader. After sending the leader out the door, Chu Yi walked in.

“Where’s Su Yao?” Chu Yi asked the butler casually on the way back.

“I just saw Miss Su in the garden. I’ll go and find her.”

“No need,” Chu Yi said calmly.

According to her experience, Chu Yi would be back in three minutes. Su Yao hurriedly stood up and returned everything to its original position before preparing to leave.

At that moment, familiar footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Su Yao’s heart was beating like a drum.

Why is Chu Yi back so early today?!

Su Yao looked around and found a hidden corner to hide in. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Su Yao knew Chu Yi’s habits too well. She followed Chu Yi’s habits and returned everything to its original position. Chu Yi did not notice anything unusual. He walked to the desk and worked quietly for a while. Then, he stood up and looked at the scenery by the window for a while before walking to the ancient painting hanging in the room.

Su Yao was afraid that Chu Yi would notice, so she only dared to glance at him occasionally.

A second ago, she saw Chu Yi admiring the ancient painting. When she looked again, Chu Yi was no longer in the room.

Su Yao held her breath and stuck half of her head out to check carefully. However, she did not find Chu Yi.

Su Yao frowned. I did not hear the door open, but why did Chu Yi disappear for no reason?? 

Her doubts only lasted for a second. Since she did not see Chu Yi, Su Yao carefully walked out. After confirming that there was no one, she secretly slipped out the way she came.
