Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1435: Chapter 835: The Invitation Finally Arrives, Guest_2

Another bout of chaos.

Pu Qinghan had just groggily woken up and come downstairs. By the time she understood the changes, it was after having breakfast tea.

Why?

Because Ye Zixu and Xiao Yu were not talkative people, and over there seeing his daughter passed out, Huang Long felt relieved and wanted to say something, but Sui Yi said they’d talk after breakfast.

Alright, a beauty eating is the priority.

Huang Long also kept silent, having been exhausted all night and very hungry—though at first, knowing this breakfast was made by Sui Yi almost had a bun stuck in his throat.

The mountain is ultimately intimidating; ordinary people should descend early, not to mention those evildoers need to be escorted back quickly for rigorous interrogation.

Huang Long escorted out of the house, even with this incident, he didn’t agree with Ye Zixu’s persuasion to go down the mountain, after all, in his view, the outside world is more dangerous. Ye Zixu didn’t say much, just pointed at the house and mentioned, your only concern is your daughter, so it’s better to consider everything that threatens her.

At that moment, Huang Long’s expression soured but he didn’t utter a word.

Just as the group was about to descend the mountain together.

In the sky, a bird was circling high, singing loudly, wanting to come down, but seemingly hesitant.

Sui Yi glanced at the Little Golden Crow on his shoulder, spreading its wings and swaying its tiny claws forward, the Little Golden Crow immediately retracted its claws and chirped towards the sky, allowing the bird to descend.

This bird above, only upon landing revealed itself to be a very robust hawk.

It had a letter in its beak.

This hawk was naturally not an ordinary bird; all present, whether ordinary Imperial Guards, Ye Zixu, or Huang Long, when seeing this hawk all showed seriousness.

The hawk’s leg was adorned with a dark purple dragon-patterned silk, slender and beautiful, subtly flowing with purple-gold light, birds like these, whether captured by the Orthodox Sect or Evil Path, are untouched because they originate from the most powerful sect alliances, known as the strongest family groups—this hawk was the messenger.

The letter was clearly for the people of Yellow Dragon Mountain.

Huang Long received it, opened it, and took out a plain black-and-white silver-patterned invitation.

"Thousand Years Martial Birth," Huang Long raised his eyebrow, not saying whether he’d go down the mountain, "Alright, you all hurry and leave, or you’ll miss lunch."

Ye Zixu, originally with a somber look, now frowned further at these words, last night’s intimate talk seemed gone, and he directly turned to leave.

Descending the mountain, Sui Yi and the other two mixed among the group of hikers with pale faces, Sui Yi’s expression was calm, while Pu Qinghan, kind-hearted, upon learning of the recent events, didn’t have time to reflect why she slept like a dead pig, started comforting several women.

The descent was quick, even taking care of the hikers, it was only half a day’s time. At the foot of the mountain, Sui Yi picked a leaf from a tree by the roadside, his fingertip seeped a golden thread, wrapping the leaf, the golden thread penetrated the leaf veins, instilling, forming golden patterns faintly resembling a ferocious beast’s head.

"This is Attraction Technique, take it with you, it might help detect some of his traces."

Xiao Yu knew there were many techniques in this world, Huang Long had them, Ye Zixu had them, Sui Yi had them too.

"Thank you," Xiao Yu took the Leaf Vein Slice, but heard Sui Yi casually ask from the car.

"Who is King of Red Water?"

Xiao Yu was startled, then frowned: "I don’t know this figure... I’ll go back and investigate."

Sui Yi smiled.

The car departed.

Xiao Yu stood on the spot, gazing at the leaf in his hand for a while, then took out his phone to make a call.

On the car, Sui Yi mentioned to Ye Zixu about King of Red Water and Dou Tian Shu, Ye Zixu, having no knowledge of these people and things, frowned continuously, pondering for a while, suddenly said: "Huang Long definitely knows."

Sui Yi leaned by the window, eyes slightly narrowed: "Of course, he knows; he knows Yue Shi and has a major grudge, probably one of the evildoers from back then."

Ye Zixu was silent, basically agreeing.

But Huang Long didn’t mention a word, probably keeping the matter deeply secret.

Perhaps his retirement back then carried certain secrets.

"If I knew this, I would certainly make him come down the mountain," Ye Zixu said, only to get Sui Yi’s response.

"How do you know he won’t come down?"

Sui Yi looked softly at the receding Yellow Dragon Mountain outside the window.

This world, secrets can hide people, but not hearts.

Upon returning home, Sui Yi found invitations for himself and Ye Zixu had already arrived.

However, there was an additional guest at home.

Nie Wanqing got up as soon as she saw Sui Yi, after some courtesies expressed her purpose.

Apparently, she was searching for someone, certainly without coercion, merely hoping for some serendipity.

As for who she was looking for...

Without needing her to confess, Flower Demon speculated outright: "Your Nie Family always had a small population, and the Third Lady Yin mother and son are fine, the person you’re concerned about, trekking all the way to Capital City, are few, probably the Zhong Family young lady rumored to marry the Qi Family’s genius eldest son."

Gong Jiu beside her also expanded his imagination: "But if that Zhong Buli girl disappeared, the Zhong Family couldn’t possibly remain quiet...unless not visibly stated...she’s running away from the wedding!"

How to say...

Nie Wanqing glanced at the two with clear eyes, gracefully said: "You two indeed have great chemistry."

Haha, that’s a bingo!

Running away from the wedding!

Goodness me!

Gong Jiu and others were somewhat restless.

Qi Family is no small clan, what sort of tantrum is Zhong Buli having...

Uh...everyone’s gaze shifted to someone who just got home without warming his seat yet.

Speaking of which, back in the day, that love triangle was truly emotional, though one corner was always in a "I’m not here" state...
