Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1049 - 626: Manor of the Tiger (Evil He’s Jade Crystal +1)

Chapter 1049: Chapter 626: Manor of the Tiger (Evil He’s Jade Crystal +1)

Ugh....

Ugh.....

Ugh.....

The maid saw her master silent for quite some time.

Li Xiuning remained calm, but the changes in her eyes were fully visible under Sui Yi’s watchful gaze. However, this lady was indeed decisive and quickly smiled and said, "In that case, my Baonong Hall still thanks Mr. Sui for his effort."

If he truly cared, he should have returned it to me as soon as he got it~

However, Li Xiuning knew there was a disadvantage on her side, which was that she hadn’t revealed her identity as the master of Baonong Hall at that time, meaning the other party could completely claim ignorance. They could argue that Baonong Hall indeed lacked the ability to protect the Extraterrestrial Treasure, and with wolves lurking around, the other party had a legitimate reason to leave with the eagle.

Since no conclusion could be drawn, there was no need to dwell on it further. After all, they couldn’t figure out anything significant about that Extraterrestrial Treasure..... Brother can only explain it separately on his side.

"But if this Extraterrestrial Treasure is gone, it might be difficult for Mr. Sui to negotiate with Yuwen Huaji."

"After all, he has captured Miss Wei."

Li Xiuning spoke while observing Sui Yi’s expression, and noticed that he remained expressionless, and surprisingly replied, "I know, but his main purpose is still revenge against me, and wanting to learn about my supposed origins; the Extraterrestrial Treasure is actually secondary."

"I came here to ask Miss Li if she knows where Yuwen Huaji has hidden the person."

"If you tell me, I will repay the favor in the future."

If it were modern times, almost everyone who knew Sui Yi would value his promises highly, including those superpowers in the Forbidden Forest, because they understood his mysterious abilities.

But in this world, Li Xiuning and the others don’t understand Sui Yi deeply, they just find him somewhat mysterious.

Take a gamble?

Li Xiuning slowly said, "I don’t know specifically, but currently I’ve only found out that Yuwen Huaji has roped in several forces within the city to serve as his claws, which allowed him to take Miss Wei away so quickly. As for his status, he should be living in the official residence of Yangzhou City, but in fact, he hasn’t. After that day, he disappeared, as if he had already found a hideout."

"My people have been gathering information these days, searching for some potential places, and finally determined that there might be some traces to follow at East City Crouching Tiger Manor."

East City Crouching Tiger Manor.

Sui Yi’s fingers left the teacup. "Thank you, I will remember this," she said as she stood up.

Li Xiuning also stood up, "Mr. Sui, you are too kind, it was just a minor effort ... no need for repayment."

Huh?

Sui Yi glanced at her, nodded slightly, and with a tap of her foot, she had already leaped onto the courtyard wall.

In an instant, before Li Xiuning could marvel at her light and nimble movement technique, she saw there was another person beside Sui Yi—the woman in the linen long robe.

In a fleeting moment, another moment, she followed Sui Yi and flew away.

At that moment, there was another person in the courtyard.

Tai Chongshan.

"This Mr. Sui is not to be judged for now, but that woman... she’s very scary."

Tai Chongshan’s words made Li Xiuning pause.

Just now?

She hadn’t completely seen what the person looked like.

"Two Minor Grandmasters?" Li Xiuning asked.

"Probably," Tai Chongshan watched the direction they left, "One is ethereal like clouds, making it hard to see clearly, the other is cold and deep, making it difficult to understand. Yet this Mr. Sui, who met the woman by chance, helped her and took her in without any affection, but is willing to run around for her, is naturally quite a righteous person."

Li Xiuning was slightly surprised upon hearing it, "Can’t it be that he has some affection for that Wei Zhenzhen? In the intelligence, this Wei Zhenzhen seems particularly gentle and beautiful."

Isn’t this the type of woman men love most?

Tai Chongshan shook his head with a smile, "No man would separate and live away from the woman he loves."

"Perhaps it’s the demeanor of a gentleman," said Li Xiuning, finding Mr. Sui indeed carries the bearing of a gentleman, except with that earlier statement... a bit amused.

Could she have guessed it?

"If a man is a gentleman, it’s either he doesn’t like it or he can’t like it. There’s nothing about Wei Zhenzhen that would make him unable to like her."

That means he doesn’t like her.

In other words, if a powerful swordsman truly had affection for a woman he saved, his home wouldn’t have been arranged that way...

Regarding men and women, Miss, you still don’t understand.

Tai Chongshan didn’t say it clearly, just changed the topic, "Anyway, Miss’s vision is excellent, if these two could be used by the Second Young Master... it’d be like adding wings to a tiger."

Li Xiuning nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure it’s at Crouching Tiger?"

"The only place I could probe is indeed Crouching Tiger Manor, but if I could probe it, I guess the Demon Sect and other sects are quick to catch on, or they may have already found it. The more people find it, the sooner it will be exposed."

"Time might not be enough."

"Then it depends on how capable she truly is."

Li Xiuning smiled faintly, looking toward the sky.

In this world, only the capable ones survive, right?

On the way to Crouching Tiger Manor, Hell’s Wan Ge brought up Li Xiuning and Tai Chongshan.

"If they were the first to get to where I fell, maybe they would know more information, and considering her Li Family Clique background, she is the future of the Imperial Family. I’m afraid the force behind her is extraordinary."

Implied meaning is... if you want to learn more possible information about Cangwu, you can only ally with the Li Family.

This point Sui Yi and Hell’s Wan Ge completely agreed.

It’s just...

"The most terrifying thing in this world should still be the sects, after all, this is a martial arts novel, the core should be the Martial Arts World... especially since Gong Jiu and the others frequently mention the Demon Sect and Cihang Calming Studio."

"You must hear them talk often."

Hell’s Wan Ge’s words made Sui Yi pause, forcing a wry smile.

Indeed, she used to rarely listen to Gong Jiu and them casually talking, now she truly regrets it.

However...

"Li Xiuning should still have a cell phone, I don’t know if it’s yours or Natasha’s."

"I never carry a cell phone."

Huh? That’s Natasha’s.

Although a cellphone isn’t very important, both Sui Yi know that in this clue-scarce ancient time, anything they carry may contain valuable information they need.

Only Cangwu can take them back.

East City Crouching Tiger Manor, Heroes’ Hill on the rise.

The Green Forest’s flowing water, a manor perched on the hillside. It used to be the infamous stronghold of the Crouching Tiger Gang in Yangzhou. Later, the Imperial Court confiscated it, leaving Crouching Tiger Manor vacant.

Nowadays, it is inhabited.

Seo Ziling and Kou Zhong lay on the ground, being beaten with fists and kicked, with patches of blood on the floor.

"Damn, these kids have tough mouths."

"They probably know nothing. Asking doesn’t help"

"Enough, my hands are hurting. You watch here, I’ll go out for a stroll."

"Go ahead, I’m not staying here alone. When you go out, it’s an hour before you get back, leaving me to guard alone! If you’re going out, let’s go together. Besides, both of us just stroll outside the courtyard; it’s unlikely anyone will come."

The two felt fairly relaxed, so they headed outside.

As soon as they left, Seo Ziling and Kou Zhong simultaneously opened their eyes.

Kou Zhong’s body crawled slowly like a worm, his tongue stretched out to stick and bite a straw stem.

Turning to Seo Ziling, the latter had already turned his back, showing the handcuffs to him.

--On the survival skills of street vagabonds: Unlocking techniques 108 styles.

In this regard, the two of them could indeed set up a monument, especially the clever King Kou Zhong.

Snap!

The lock made a slight sound, opened!

Quoting the method, Seo Ziling freed himself and directly took the straw stem from Kou Zhong’s mouth.

It only took two seconds to unlock it in an instant.

The two crouched and ran to the back of the door, seeing no one outside, they stealthily sneaked out...

Of course, they didn’t escape directly, but went to rescue someone!

If they remembered correctly, Wei Zhenzhen should be at...

The two sneakily slipped to the mountain hut’s rear hill, heading from there towards another detention area.

The opponent had separated them into three detained groups: naturally, there were the two of them, another was Wei Zhenzhen, and then there was Shi Long.

Shi Long should have been deemed the most important, having been taken away by Yuwen Huaji early on.

As for Wei Zhenzhen...

"There seems to be some noise ahead."

These two were indeed a bit smart though their strength was low, and they lacked Inner Strength, precisely because without Inner Strength, they had no breath fluctuations. Plus, having mingled in the streets early on, they had developed a soundless cat-step skill, quietly hiding under the wooden house window.

They dared not peek through the window, for there might be masters inside.

So....

Here!

They saw a slight gap in the wooden seams of the hut and drew near to look inside....

Inside, someone was being whipped.

Wei Zhenzhen?

Luckily not, it was Shi Long.

Smack! Smack!

The whip mercilessly lashes, blood splattering!

Yuwen Huaji sat on the side drinking wine and, as he drank, he looked at the nearly lifeless Shi Long: "Why bother? The Longevity Formula you possess is of no use to you, if you can’t comprehend it, it would be better to give it to me, then I could elevate you, granting wealth and glory in the future, far better than your present state, isn’t it?"

Shi Long said nothing.

Yuwen Huaji was generally a patient person, but lately having suffered consecutive setbacks, his patience had waned.

Clink, the wine cup placed on the table, he rose, and reached his hand for the iron brand’s handle, which glowed warm red.

He approached.

Shi Long’s muscles twitched all over, staring straightly at Yuwen Huaji.

"I’ll ask you once more... Longevity Formula, where is it!!!"

Yuwen Huaji appeared quite teeth-grittingly.

And Shi Long uttered a sole sentence.

"I don’t know."

Then the glowing red iron brand cruelly pressed onto the chest...

The skin sizzled loudly, cooked!

Outside the wooden planks, Seo Ziling and Kou Zhong both drew in their breath.

Breathe?

Not good!

As soon as Seo Ziling realized the trouble.

Yuwen Huaji threw the iron brand, and his gaze shot straight at the outside window.

"Someone...."

Swoosh!

The master within the house swiftly darted out, leaping onto the roof, spotting the two lying by the backdoor.
