Moonlight and wind

Chapter 290 Taishi Mansion

After leaving the Luohui Sect, Yuwen Lin brought Jianyun to Cangwu City, which was 20 miles away. This city was the largest city they had encountered along the way from the North.

There is a five-meter-wide moat outside the city, which can only be entered through a suspension bridge; the city gate is majestic and spectacular, with a deep doorway. Above the gate, a huge plaque is engraved with the name of Cangwu; the city wall is made of bluestone, with arrow towers, corner towers, and enemy towers, which are staggered and impregnable.

"Heh!" Yuwen Lin looked up at the Cangwu City in front of him, "Who are they trying to defend against with this posture?"

When the two men passed through the gate, the captain guarding the city strictly checked them and only let them in after an incense stick of time.

"Great!" Yu Wenlin had already entered Cangwu City and was delighted, "There's money to be made!"

In this Cangwu city, the streets are crisscrossed, shops are lined up, and it is very lively! The vendors shout one after another, and the people in the city shuttle through the busy streets, with all kinds of emotions on their faces.

In the center of the city, there is a magnificent mansion. The roof of the mansion is covered with glazed tiles, shining brightly in the sun, magnificent and golden.

"Whose mansion is this?" Yu Wenlin was blinded by the glazed tiles, but it was not difficult to see that he was envious!

Jianyun jumped up and took a closer look. On the plaque in front of the door, the words were vigorous and powerful, and it read: "Tai Shi Mansion"!

"The Imperial Historian's Mansion?" Yu Wenlin's eyes turned, "Could it be the hometown of the Right Prime Minister of Wu State? No wonder there are guards around this mansion. It seems understandable that Cangwu City is so heavily guarded!"

Then, Yuwenlin and Jianyun wandered around the streets around the Taishi Mansion, looking for shops. Finally, they found a shop that needed to be transferred on the right street of the Taishi Mansion. Yuwenlin immediately took the title deed and prepared for the tea shop.

"I don't really understand!" Shan Zimo simply sat on the rock behind the waterfall, crossed his legs, supported his hands behind his back, leaned back slightly, and looked at the water droplets condensed on the top of the cave. "It's obviously a good place to practice, but it prohibits internal energy. How can I regulate my internal energy like this?"

Hua Qingci smiled lightly and stood beside the rock. "Although this cave is a place where Yin gathers, it is very effective for Yin-feeling skills. However, the internal force of our Luohui Sect is extremely special. Without a specific primer, this Yin Qi will have no effect. Instead, it will make the primer in the body extremely unstable."

"Oh," Shan Zimo responded perfunctorily, "What are you dissatisfied with the current leader?"

The sudden change of topic caught Hua Qingci off guard!

"Humph!" Hua Qingci sneered, his eyes full of desire and obsession, "This position of the head originally belonged to me! It's also mine based on seniority!"

Shan Zimo disagreed and snorted coldly, "Seniority-based promotion? I despise this the most! Whoever is capable should take the lead, not you, the old man, you are right!"

"Whether you accept it or not, as long as you can win the position of the head of the sect for me, the treasure of the sect will be given to you!"

"So what is the sect's treasure of your Luohui Sect?" Shan Zimo sat up straight and even leaned towards Hua Qingci.

"The Secret Book of the Spirit Snake!" Hua Qingci said proudly.

"A book?" Shan Zimo's eyes were fixed on her every move. "What do I need a book for?"

Hua Qingci had a slight smile of disdain on his face, as if mocking Shan Zimo's ignorance, "This is not an ordinary book, it is not only a book of peerless medical skills, but the most core skill is the Spirit Snake Rejuvenation Technique!"

"Rejuvenation?" Shan Zimo suddenly became interested. "Can it bring the dead back to life? Can it turn back to youth?"

Hua Qingci smiled contemptuously again, "Those are the simplest contents. You should consider cooperating with me and helping me to seize the position of the head sect leader. Then you will naturally know the most powerful contents in the book!"

Shan Zimo jumped up, stood beside Hua Qingci, and rubbed his hands, "Now that you put it that way, it seems like I have absolutely no reason to refuse!"

As he spoke, Shan Zimo stretched out a hand, intending to shake hands with Hua Qingci.

Hua Qingci didn't understand what he meant, and Dan Zimo grabbed her right hand and held it together!

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Shan Zimo held Hua Qingci's hand, shook it gently, let go, jumped into the waterfall pool and swam away.

Shan Zimo returned to Binyue Garden and did not see Xuanyue. When he learned that she was summoned by Hua Nishang, he couldn't help but worry whether her identity had been exposed. He had no choice but to sit in the lobby with Yi Yanhui and wait for Xuanyue and Shan Boyu to come back.

"I asked you to come here today to meet an important person!" Hua Nishang held Xuanyue's hand, very intimately.

Xuanyue looked at the sect leader who was a few years older than her affectionately, "Thank you for the introduction, Sect Leader!"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Xuanyue's heart. She thought, perhaps the person Hua Nishang wanted to take her to see was the supreme leader, Hua Zijin.

Hua Nishang took Xuanyue past several important buildings of the Luohui Sect and finally came to a corner of the Luohui Sect where there was a secluded courtyard. Its style was very different from that of the entire Luohui Sect. It felt like a farmhouse and there were even a few quacking ducks in the courtyard.

Hua Nishang pushed open the small gate and led Xuanyue into the courtyard. Next to the herb garden, a woman with slightly silver hair was sitting on a bamboo rocking chair, holding a book and reading it seriously.

"Madam!" From the moment she stepped into the courtyard, the dignified Hua Nishang suddenly gave up her position as the head of the sect, and like an ordinary woman, she ran briskly to the woman and fell on her knees.

"Nichang!" The woman looked at her lovingly, put down the book in her hand, and stroked her hair lovingly, "It's been a while since you last came to see me! How come you have time today?"

Hua Nishang stood up, pulled up Xuanyue who was still standing at the entrance of the courtyard, and came to the woman, "Miss, look, who does she look like?"

The moment the woman raised her head and saw Xuan Yue clearly, her eyes widened instantly, revealing a look of disbelief; then, she suddenly stood up and grabbed Xuan Yue's hands, unconsciously exerting force until her knuckles turned white.

"Whose daughter are you from?" The woman looked at her excitedly, her face turned red, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead and nose.

"My daughter is from Wudu," Qu Xuanyue hesitated for a moment, fearing that the moment she mentioned Qu Hanlin, she would be exposed, so she could only say casually, "Yuwen family, my name is Yuwen Yue."

After hearing this, the light in the woman's eyes suddenly went out, and she murmured, "They look so similar that I almost recognized the wrong person." The feeling of loss made the woman sit back in her rocking chair.

Hua Nishang took one look and hurried forward to comfort her, "Auntie, I think so too. Maybe there is some connection between our ancestors! Don't worry about my sister's whereabouts, let's continue to look for her slowly!"

The woman gave a forced smile and said, "Just try to coax an old woman like me!"

"My dear, how about I accept her as my master's disciple?"
