The craftsmen of the Young Master Manor had all been sent to build the
Regent Manor. The roof was repaired by Shadow Thirteen.
Prince Yan looked at Yan Xiaosi solemnly.
Yan Xiaosi looked at him adorably.
Prince Yan took a deep breath and said earnestly, “The roof isn’t fun. Yan’er, don’t play with the roof anymore, understand?”
Yan Xiaosi blinked as if to say she understood. Prince Yan put his obedient granddaughter back into the cradle. Before he could leave, he heard another loud bang.
Uncle Wan’s greenhouse collapsed.
Uncle Wan was choosing seeds outside the greenhouse and thinking about what to plant in the greenhouse this year when the greenhouse behind him collapsed. Uncle Wan stood in the dust and silently spat out a mouthful of wall ash.
Prince Yan looked at Yan Xiaosi.
Yan Xiaosi looked at him innocently, as if to say, “It’s not the roof anymore…”
Prince Yan : “…”
Before the Sacred Clansmen found the Young Master Manor, Shadow Six had been investigating for clues in the courtyard where Old Cui had stayed.
Ordinary experts had a certain level of anti-tracking ability, but it was still a
little difficult to hide it from Shadow Six’s eyes.
Shadow Six quickly determined the identity of the group—Yan Huaijing’s guards.
It seemed that Yan Huaijing knew about Yan Jiuchao’s antidote and wanted to capture Old Cui to stop him from refining the antidote for Yan Jiuchao. But he did not capture Old Cui. Soon, Yan Jiuchao no longer went to court. Yan Huaijing deduced that he had obtained the antidote and that Yan Jiuchao had gone into seclusion to detoxify.
This could also explain why Jun Chang’an visited the Young Master Manor late at night.
All kinds of signs showed that Jun Chang’an and Yan Huaijing had nothing to do with capturing Dabao and the Little Saint King. However, Jun Chang’an first barged into the Young Master Manor and attracted Shadow Thirteen, causing the Sacred Clan to take advantage of the situation and infiltrate the Little Saint King’s courtyard.
No matter what, Shadow Thirteen would remember this debt to Jun Chang’an.
“Do you think… we should tell Yan Huaijing about the Sacred Clan?” Shadow Six asked.
Shadow Thirteen paused and said, “Of course I have to tell him. It’s best to clean up the mess he caused himself.”
“Can he deal with it?” Shadow Six curled his lips. It wasn’t that he looked down on Yan Huaijing, but that fellow was incompetent. Even the Crown Princess Consort knew better than him!
Shadow Thirteen snorted and said, “Of course he can’t deal with it, but it’s still fine to cause some trouble for the Sacred Clan. Besides, he almost caused a disaster. There’s no need to let him live too peacefully.”
He didn’t know anything, yet he only needed to be a crown prince after the Young Master Manor dealt with all the enemies? How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?
Actually, it was not only Shadow Thirteen who had such a plan. Prince Yan also had this intention. He wouldn’t count on Yan Huaijing, but he could not let Yan Huaijing benefit either. Moreover, they were facing a common enemy now. As the prince of the Great Zhou, Yan Huaijing had the obligation to do his best for the Great Zhou.
That afternoon, Shadow Thirteen went to the Crown Prince Manor. Yan Huaijing was not around, and the Crown Princess Consort was recuperating. He did not use the main entrance, but it was similar to using the main entrance. He used his qinggong to fly in openly, but unfortunately, the guards of the Crown Prince Manor could not find his traces at all.
He entered Jun Chang’an’s courtyard.
Jun Chang’an was practicing his swordsmanship. When he heard the commotion behind him, he suddenly turned around and saw that Shadow Thirteen had already landed within the range of killing him in one strike.
Jun Chang’an was shocked by this fellow’s abnormally powerful strength again. He composed himself, put away his sword, and asked, “What are you doing here? To take my life?”
“Do I have to wait for you to turn around to take your life?” Shadow Thirteen said indifferently.
Jun Chang’an choked. It was fine if your martial arts had improved, but why did your choking ability also improve? Why? Do you have to cultivate your glib tongue when you’re with Yan Jiuchao?
“Then why are you here?” Jun Chang’an asked.
Shadow Thirteen threw a portrait on the stone table in front of Jun Chang’an. “Do you know this person?”
Jun Chang’an opened the portrait and frowned. “He’s an advisor of the Young
Master Manor. Why do you have a portrait of him?”
Shadow Thirteen said, “He’s from the Sacred Clan. His motive for approaching the Crown Prince Manor isn’t simple.”
Jun Chang’an had long suspected the cloaked man, so he was not surprised to hear Shadow Thirteen say that his goal was not simple, but what did Shadow Thirteen say? He was from the Sacred Clan?
The Sacred Clan… Wasn’t that…
Jun Chang’an’s understanding of the Sacred Clan was only limited to the rumors in the pugilistic world. These rumors came from the medicinal primer of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. It was rumored that four types of medicinal primers were needed to detoxify the poison of the Fragrance of Hundred Miles. They were the Red Lingzhi, the Snow Toad, the Saintess’ blood, and the Sorcerer King’s tears. It was said that the first two could be found in Nanzhao, but the latter two… could not be found no matter what. This was because be it the Sacred Clan or the Sorcerer Clan, they had gone extinct countless years ago. Now, many people even felt that the Sacred Clan and the Sorcerer Clan did not exist to begin with. Just like the saying about strange powers and deities, they were made up by their predecessors.
This time, Yan Jiuchao obtained the antidote. Jun Chang’an and Yan Huaijing did not think that the Sacred Clan and the Sorcerer Clan were actually real. Instead, they were thinking that the medicinal primers were probably not the blood of the Saintess and the tears of the Sorcerer Clan, but something else.
Therefore, Jun Chang’an did not believe it when Shadow Thirteen personally said that the other party was from the Sacred Clan.
Actually, if it were a year ago, Shadow Thirteen probably wouldn’t have believed it either. However, in this year, they had gone from Nanzhao to the Ghost Clan, from the Ghost Clan to the Nether Capital, then to various countries and across the sea. In the end, they had arrived at the Sorcerer Clan. He had personally experienced it, so he had no choice but to believe it.
Yes, before this, he had never come into contact with the true Sacred Clan members. However, Zhou Jin’s mother was a Saint King, and she had left behind indelible legends and marks in the Sorcerer Clan. Therefore, Shadow Thirteen firmly believed in the existence of the Sacred Clan members.
“I’m just here to tell you this news. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.” With that, Shadow Thirteen turned to leave.
“Wait.” Jun Chang’an stopped him. “You said… he’s from the Sacred Clan, so why did he approach the Crown Prince Manor? What benefits does this have for them?”
Shadow Thirteen did not say the exact whereabouts of the Holy Soul Pearl. He only said, “Their treasures have flowed to the Great Zhou. In addition, there’s the entrance to the holy land they need under the Great Zhou City. As for what the holy land is, you can understand it as their blessed land or as their resting place for the next migration.”
If the Sacred Clan wanted to move to the capital, what would happen to the people in the capital? Jun Chang’an frowned.
Shadow Thirteen continued, “In the eyes of the Sacred Clan, we’re all lowly commoners and aren’t qualified to be on equal footing with them. Therefore, once they move here, there won’t be a place for the commoners in the capital.”
Shadow Thirteen had said everything he needed to say. If Jun Chang’an still didn’t believe him, he had no choice. It was not that they had not considered telling Yan Huaijing directly, but Yan Huaijing was even more stubborn than Jun Chang’an, so he would not believe him.
Jun Chang’an was actually still in disbelief until he bumped into Han Jingshu in the small garden in the afternoon.
“Crown Princess Consort.” Jun Chang’an bowed.
“Why are you here? Are you waiting for the Crown Prince?” This place was very close to the Crown Prince’s courtyard and not far from hers, but Han Jingshu did not think that Jun Chang’an was waiting for her here.
Jun Chang’an hesitated for a while and told Han Jingshu about Shadow Thirteen’s visit. He thought that Han Jingshu would be surprised, but she was calm. “I see.”
Jun Chang’an was stunned. ‘What do you mean?”
“I know. The thing they’re looking for is called the Holy Soul Pearl.” The people of the Sacred Clan, a treasure. With this calculation, they could almost understand the pronunciation of these three words.
“How does the Crown Princess Consort know?” Jun Chang’an was even more surprised.
Han Jingshu sighed and said, “I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. The person who schemed against me that day was Lie Feng. I heard their conversation and knew that they were looking for the Holy Soul Pearl and something else. Now that I think about it, it should be the entrance to the Holy Land.”
The entrance was underground, so digging would definitely cause a lot of commotion. No wonder Lie Feng said that it was not easy to do it.
Jun Chang’an frowned. “So they poisoned you to silence you? You didn’t really lose your memory, you just wanted to avoid their revenge?”
“That’s right.” Han Jingshu nodded.
Jun Chang’an’s eyes turned cold. He had long felt that those people were not good people. It seemed that he was right. They did not even let go of a weak woman. They were really worse than beasts!
Han Jingshu looked at Jun Chang’an and said, “Since there’s already evidence,
I’ll go look for my father and ask him to tell the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince will still believe my father’s words.”
Jun Chang’an agreed. “Alright.”
Han Jingshu went to the Prime Minister Manor without stopping. That night, thousands of bounties were posted on the streets and alleys of the capital—to find the culprit who poisoned the Crown Princess Consort. A portrait of the cloaked man and Gu Lady was also attached..
