Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1460: Chapter 852: Flower Picking

"Normally, there aren’t any; probably they’re spoiled by someone."

"Why do you feel like you’re talking about me?"

The reaction of Lord Cangwu was—he raised his eyebrow and said, "Why are you looking at me? Must I avoid this, too? Miss Mo, shall we leave? This isn’t a place for us to linger."

Mo Ke: Haha, can I choose not to speak?

Why does it suddenly feel like I’m being attacked by everyone?

Sui Yi felt a bit mystified but still lowered his hand, letting it rest on the cold table. Then he heard Ye Zui speak in a light tone, "I’ve heard there’s a Master of Sui Tang Square in the country, who is aloof from the world and isolated from others, never thought... he could be quite... passionate."

Her rhetoric was rather cautious and dignified, yet it left everyone present feeling uncomfortable.

—Sister, you did this! You!

Sui Yi slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth with some difficulty, glanced at her, and softly uttered two words.

"Polite."

Gu Sansi: Polite? Really quite polite.

Mo Ke: I feel that this roommate’s words and actions are rather unusual, thought-provoking.

Ye Zui seemed naturally averse to Sui Yi—it’s the kind of discomfort felt upon first meeting. After seeing her indifferent attitude, she turned away with a slightly indifferent tone: "Given the number of female and male friends around Your Excellency, I’d suggest restraint next time; it’s pretty obvious."

Two knives in!

Slashing, blood every strike!

Mo Ke could already sense Sui Yi’s speechless emotion.

Sui Yi said nothing, merely pursed his lips.

Actually, Mo Ke also wondered, with Sui Yi’s level, the skin could quickly heal without leaving kiss marks or bite marks. Why have they lingered for so long... Only two possibilities: One, Ye Zui’s kissing skill **atrial; two, Master of Sui Tang intentionally kept the kiss marks to annoy them.

Speaking of which, Sui Yi shouldn’t be that scheming trickster, right?

So... it’s the former, eh?

Mo Ke couldn’t help but glance at Ye Zui more.

Yet he heard Gu Sansi say this paragraph,

"The wounds caused by foreign enemies can be restored in an instant by the body defense of a Witch, but if you willingly accept it, marks would remain. The more willing, the more marks remain... Ye Zui, instead of speculating why Master of Sui Tang kept the marks, why not investigate who could make Master of Sui Tang feel guilty..."

Oh, Ye Zui also heard a sense of battle tension in Gu Sansi’s tone, aimed at her.

She looked at Gu Sansi, her eyes slightly smoky, and said lightly, "What good is this talk for me, it wasn’t me who did it."

Particularly dignified, calm, and confidently.

Facing the kind of person who falls flat after one drink and wakes up with blackouts, all talk is wasted.

Neither Gu Sansi nor Bai Yu, nor Mo Ke, felt the need to delve further, particularly given the growing crowd.

The Dragon King wasn’t the main focus; what mattered were these Spirit Coffins, which were more important than anything else to Zhou Yu and the Master of Qiu Mountain.

A group of people observed the Spirit Coffins, attempting to make them recognize a master. Perhaps opening the coffin lid would suffice?

Someone tried but couldn’t open it.

"Mr. Tao, how could we make this Spirit Coffin recognize a master? Surely we can’t just stare at it?"

After several failed attempts, impatience grew among many, leading them to seek help from Mr. Tao and figures like Mo Ke from noble families.

"Regarding how to make the Spirit Coffin recognize a master, we don’t know either, only that the master inside will only open the coffin for someone compatible."

However, Mr. Tao didn’t casually brush off these people. Instead, he added, "I believe the ways to inherit recognition under the heavens boil down to two methods: First is the Blood Covenant; just a drop to see your bloodline and physique. Second is the Will Pact, which depends on your soul level... Miss Mo, what do you think?"

Mo Ke was somewhat surprised by Mr. Tao’s insight but indeed agreed with the view, openly.

Others listened and immediately found direction; many cut their fingers open to drip blood...

Mr. Tao looked sideways at Sui Yi’s response and noticed she was quite indifferent to the bleeding actions of these people, showing little clear attitude.

After blood dripping came the act of sitting in meditation...

Individuals sat cross-legged to meditate, numbering at least seventy or eighty, and like a contagious process, many followed suit, seemingly devotedly meditating like a belief.

Nearby, Sui Yi watched a stone slab.

"Will this really work? It feels a bit supernatural," Gong Jiu touched his arm, feeling goosebumps rise.

"Maybe," Sui Yi’s answer equated to acknowledging this method’s effectiveness.

"Low probability?" Flower Demon asked, and Sui Yi shook her head: "The key isn’t this but others’ belongings... Ultimately not very useful. It depends on your choice; if you wish to be grounded, these Spirit Coffins won’t help. But if you seek shortcuts, they’re indeed a rapid Heaven Reaching Path..."

"How heavenly?"

"Those inside are all Void-breaking Level. If inherited, even with poor compatibility, it can advance you directly to SSS level."

Gong Jiu and the others gasp.

"Then..." Gong Jiu and others hesitated, whether to try or not?

Sui Yi knew their decision.

Nobody moved.

No one tried.

Sui Yi asked, "Are you certain?"

"Of course, with you here, even if we’re walking steadily, it’s still a path toward heaven."

The two were quite confident.

Sui Yi chuckled, then looked at the stone slab before him. The patterns on this slab were different from the one Jiang Chenyu gave him.

So where is the giant stone wall that this small slab belongs to?

Jiang Chenyu’s aim must be it.

But she definitely doesn’t have a way to find it. Hence, she wants to borrow his abilities... (The passage is stuck in my head, so annoying.)

Although Sui Yi already saw through Jiang Chenyu’s intentions, she couldn’t refuse, as she also wanted to figure out who this ancient tomb belonged to and what kind of history it recorded.

At this moment, Sui Yi opened the Magnetic Sensation, revealing that a large number of masters were hidden within this spirit coffin area, all belonging to the Noble Clan.

But, why isn’t that Mo Hu mentioned by Yin Mingse here?

This is interesting.

Could it be that these spirit coffins aren’t the most critical?

Among these spirit coffins, the resting bodies on which blood droplets seeping in from outside the coffins were being absorbed.

These blood droplets mostly come from the essence blood of these martial artists, each drop possesses considerable bloodline spiritual power, accumulating gradually...

The conspiracy hidden behind is massive.

If the person behind this has the ability to awaken the "things" once they are satiated.

Sui Yi inadvertently glanced at Mo Ke.

Could the Mo Family be involved? Could she be involved?

Peach Blossom Villa, Mo, Jiang, Xu, these four parties are the most likely masterminds, while Jiang Chenyu has ulterior motives, and Du Meng is also an unusual character. Adding the Imperial Guards and The Gate into the mix, it indeed becomes a bit chaotic...

It needs sorting out.

Only a fleeting thought crossed Sui Yi’s mind. She pursed her lips as she set down the stone slab and looked toward Gong Jiu and others.

"Isn’t it boring?"

Eh?

Because Gong Jiu and Flower Demon had already given up any thought concerning these spirit coffins, just waiting here was indeed somewhat tedious, especially seeing such temptation right in front of them... their hearts were uneasy.

"It is very boring," Gong Jiu turned his head and looked at Sui Yi, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Sui Yi smiled, "Let’s pick flowers."

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon: "...."

A moment later, Gong Jiu along with Su Zimu and Ye Zixu somehow followed Sui Yi, distancing themselves from the spirit coffin area, picking flowers.

Yes, picking peach blossoms.

Upon leaving, Sui Yi noticed that many people glanced over inadvertently... the Qi Mechanism remained unchanged.

She turned around, brushed her hand over a sturdy old peach tree, explaining to Gong Jiu and others her desire to take some peach blossoms back. Yet her fingertips had already exuded a large amount of golden Magnetic Sensation, spreading along the peach tree’s bark, through the ground, and into the ten coffins here.

After this, she withdrew her hand, naturally removing the peach blossom entwined in Flower Demon’s hair, letting the flower fall from her fingertips.

"I once thought of picking cherry blossoms in Cherry Snow Forest, but unfortunately there was an accident halfway... hope it won’t happen today."

Honestly, Mr. Sui’s unintentional tenderness is a kind of poison.

Flower Demon expressed her heart being elated: Rest assured, if anyone dares interrupt... I’ll beat him!

While others were advancing one by one, Sui Yi and the others went against the flow...

Ye Zui watched coldly, while Bai Yu had already disappeared.

Soon after, they were far away from the crowd, reaching a secluded place.

Su Zimu had no important official business here today, being a civil servant, it was unsuitable to stay there, while Gong Jiu and the other two were freepeople...

Yet Ye Zixu also came along, leaving the few a bit surprised.

However.. Ye Zixu didn’t stay long, but instead followed the river...

Obviously, he intentionally used them to escape, aiming to investigate some situations.

"Peach blossoms are great, peach blossom pastry, peach blossom mooncake, peach blossom wine can all be made..."

"Hey, the view here is quite good, it even provides a view to the spirit coffin side... So, Sui Yi, what do you want to do?"

The three looked at Sui Yi.

"Those spirit coffins are very dangerous, staying there would cause trouble... this distance is just right, it allows you to see the truth over there and avoid some dangers..."

Sui Yi gathered the freshly fallen peach blossoms from the ground into her sleeve, making a pile of peach blossoms.

"Danger... only the spirit coffins?" Su Zimu frowned.

"Not just spirit coffins, they’re just a means, if there’s truly danger later, whether it be Peach Blossom Villa, Imperial Guards, The Gate, or the Noble Clan, none can be fully trusted."

"Including the Mo Family?"

"Mo Ke is trustworthy, leave room for others. My point is... only trust individuals, not the opposing groups."

Yi Chilian and Cao Ling are trustworthy as individuals, but those present today are all on group missions. Regardless of trust, they’re bothersome to each other, better to treat them all equally.

Public and private matters should remain distinct.
