C415 Jumping clown

Shangguan Minghao had plotted for so many years in order to first let the National Lord Wei be captured by him, and then create a false front in order to let the people of the Zhuo Mansion relax their vigilance, and at the same time, probe the strength of the other party. As for that Zhuo Lei, as the wealthiest person, he had naturally drawn Shangguan Minghao's attention long ago, but as he was a member of the Zhuo Mansion, this was actually an unexpected gain. Or maybe it was just a cover.

"Thank you mother for your advice. Your son still has matters to attend to, so I won't accompany mother any longer!" Shangguan Minghao wanted to confirm if his deduction was correct.

The empress dowager understood Shangguan Minghao's personality, and guessed that he might be thinking of something right now, so she didn't keep him around. "Kneel down and greet him. The empress dowager closed her eyes and caressed the buddhist beads in her hands, not saying a word.

"Your son shall take his leave!" Shangguan Minghao turned and left, and his footsteps became more anxious.

These palace maid s saw Shangguan Minghao's flustered footsteps and entered the palace only to see the empress dowager's serene expression. They thought the emperor had said something to the empress dowager, and started to speculate in their hearts, This was the life of the palace maid's eunuchs.

Fei Yan quickly met with the mysterious person again. Hearing Shangguan Minghao talk about the layout of the place, Fei Yan felt that she still knew more about it.

"Where are the items?" Fei Yan was very curious right now, what exactly was so mysterious about this book that would cause so many people to suffer from it yet also make so many people want to snatch it away.

The mysterious man looked at Fei Yan with a slightly heavy gaze, "You must keep this thing safe, and must not let anyone know of its whereabouts. First, it's for the sake of the book's safety, and most importantly, it's for your safety. The man's grave and deep eyes seemed sad.

Fei Yan nodded her head, facing his concern for herself, she was moved, even though his face was ugly, Fei Yan did not feel that it was ugly, "Can I call you uncle? "I know you have a good relationship with my father, so …" Fei Yan looked at him sincerely, hoping that the mysterious man would not reject him.

The mysterious person was infected by Fei Yan's expression. Although she felt that he wasn't worthy, but she was right, she was her father's brother, so what was wrong with him? The most important thing was that she didn't mind her own face.

"You can call me whatever you want!" Surprisingly, there was a trace of gentleness in the mysterious person's eyes. Although it was very faint, it was still discernible. At the very least, he was not born with such a character.

Fei Yan laughed, then said to him, "Uncle, how about this book, I will finish reading it, and then return it to him. This way, I won't need to worry, I will just have to trouble you, and I will need to use this book's contents to discuss a trade with Shangguan Minghao!" Fei Yan's face was full of shrewdness. In this era of low status, this was the first time that a mysterious person admired a woman, and felt that she was a king.

Fei Yan took the things and wanted to take a look, but she was immediately suppressed by the mysterious person's hand, as he said somewhat fearfully.

"You promised Uncle, no matter what, don't have the slightest bit of greed, and …" We'll be relying on you then! " The mysterious man mustered up his last bit of courage to look at Fei Yan.

There were so many people who trusted her and entrusted their lives to him, yet it was the first time Fei Yan had such a deep feeling of existence. This made her heart heavy, but she was pleasantly surprised.

nodded and said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, you guys trust Fei Yan, that's Fei Yan's fortune, since the heavens chose to let Fei Yan complete this mission, then Fei Yan will definitely not fail!"

The mysterious man finally smiled happily. This was probably the only time he would smile in his heart in all these years. He didn't know if he would be able to find the next smile in his lifetime. The mysterious man thought like this.

Returning from that place, Fei Yan was a little anxious. She had a strange feeling that some big secret was going to be unraveled by her.

"Empress, you're back!" Zi Yan waited at the door as if she knew that Fei Yan had gone out.

Fei Yan frowned, she then looked at Zi Yan, her eyes seemed to be not friendly, the reason why she had that kind of gaze, was because she was feeling dissatisfied being watched her journey, "Where does I want to go, when do I need to report back to you?" Fei Yan pretended to be noble and imposing as she spoke, looking at Zi Yan with an unpleasant expression.

Zi Yan only knew that Fei Yan had gone out, but did not follow him. She changed her original intentions, and never thought of reporting to the emperor.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant didn't mean it, this servant was just …" It's just that in the beginning of spring, the weather is still rather chilly, especially in the morning and evening. The temperature is even lower, so the Empress is worried about catching a cold. Zi Yan was extremely afraid of Fei Yan's expression and tone. Being by Fei Yan's side for so long, was also the first time she had seen Fei Yan get so angry. Zi Yan was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Fei Yan realized that she was being a little too harsh on herself, maybe she had overestimated the situation, and that was why she was acting so harshly, but she still spoke with a stern face: "Zi Yan, I knows that you have accompanied the Emperor, and she has taken abnormal care of you, but the I does not need a tail that follows you, do you understand?" Fei Yan emphasized the words' exceptional care 'to Zi Yan. She wanted Zi Yan to understand that it wasn't that she didn't know anything, she just didn't want to say it.

Hearing Fei Yan's tone, Zi Yan realized that she had left a trail. In truth, Fei Yan knew about her, and thought that she was undetectable, but did not expect that she was actually just a clown in Fei Yan's eyes. However, she was also afraid.

"I isn't like some people, only those who are in a bad mood can take revenge on you servants. As long as you don't cross the bottom line, you can still be considered as someone who has been by I's side for so long, and should know my personality. I will take revenge for this in the future, but you have to master this speed, otherwise don't blame I for having a bad temper!" Fei Yan said these harsh words, but her expression was very calm, causing Zi Yan to feel that it was a little hard to accept, but on the surface she had to accept everything.

"This servant understands. Thank you for the guidance …!" Zi Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fei Yan, then replied her seriously.

Fei Yan did not stop her from kowtowing, now was the time when one's prestige was at its peak, Fei Yan would naturally not think that she was being too gentle, or else people would think that she was being too easy to bully.

"Alright, you can leave now. I will be by herself for a moment. If there's nothing else, don't disturb me!" This was Fei Yan's final goal. She wanted to look at that thing seriously and quietly, then ask her uncle to return it as soon as possible. Because she still wanted to have the capital to trade with Shangguan Minghao.

Zi Yan did not dare to say anything else, and respectfully retreated.

Fei Yan was a cautious person. As she saw Zi Yan close the door, she immediately looked behind her, "Bai Yi, go and guard at the door. If anyone is around, inform me immediately!"

White Wing came to the door. Because it was small, it could hide in the corner of the door and not be discovered. Moreover, it had always been very vigilant. If there was even the slightest movement, it would be able to detect it.

Seeing that everything was prepared, Fei Yan opened the book's cover and looked at it from the first page. It was as she had expected, the language of the underworld Country was in front of them, she had thought so before, or else how would her father and the others understand those things.

Once again flipping to the next page, Fei Yan's expression became even worse, because it was just a separate page with no content, and the crux of the problem was here. She carefully flipped to the next page, afraid that the words on it would jump out of her vision due to her panic.

"When you see these words, please follow the steps above to read on. That means you're the one who's truly been designated!" Fei Yan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar words on it, which seemed to be the format for the heart test. She smiled, but her nervousness had lessened by quite a bit, and Fei Yan knew that the following content would not be easy. She remembered the previous part, and other than letting her know the ins and outs of the question, she really did not give her a solution.

"This is an ancient legend. It is used to test one's greed and willpower. Please do not doubt anything you see, because when you can understand the words behind it, you are a miracle!"

When Fei Yan saw this warning sign, she became even more curious. It was obvious that the other party was a Transcender, or at least he knew that she was a Transcender, but it was a miracle.

The next thing he saw, was like a magic spell, and also like a key to unlocking a shackle. Fei Yan didn't know how to describe what was inside.

Shangguan Minghao rushed back to Imperial study in a hurry, and recalled back the person who went to snatch the book from Zhuo Lei the last time.

"Tell me, how did you get the book that day?" Shangguan Minghao looked at the man in front of him with his sharp eyes, and asked seriously.

When the man saw Shangguan Minghao asking so formally, he did not dare to be negligent and reported in detail to Shangguan Minghao about what happened on the same day.

Shangguan Minghao earnestly listened to his subordinate, and analyzed everything one by one.

"In other words, Zhuo Lei hasn't fought with you for long?" Shangguan Minghao didn't know how to explain the exchange of moves between the two of them, because doing so didn't show that Shangguan Minghao knew any martial arts.

The man thought for a moment, then replied with a cupped fist: "Master, that person had only fought with your subordinate a few moves, but I can tell that her moves are very strange, as if she's just randomly fighting. It doesn't seem that way!"

Shangguan Minghao thought about the truthfulness of his words, and then he thought of something that the man had mentioned just now, "Oh yes, what did you say just now? Shangguan Minghao never knew that there was such a thing, it seemed to be very intelligent, and it seemed to be strange that it would appear at this juncture.
