Chapter 668 - Greed and Obsession

The fake map was made by Wu San Bo and is not hard to create something that people never saw before and everything is the same he just adds misleading marks here and there, very small so is not conspicuous. Zhao Li Xin admires the forgery inwardly and decide to give Wu san Bo and Bei Li Yan a hefty reward.

Sanguan jin Sheng who is immersed with joy didn't notice any difference on the map he take out a small box from his spatial ring then carefully open the box, the same pieces of the map inside the box, he gently lifts the map like it was a treasure then he arranges the map on the table, his stoic face beamed with excitement then he looks at Zhao Li Xin "Where is your map?" he asks impatiently.

Zhao Li Xin takes out a roll of skin paper from his sleeve then he joints the pieces of the map on his hand with the other map on the table, of course, the map in his hand is also fake, the real one was put safely in his spatial ring, the map finally complete and Sanguan Jin sheng can't hold his thrilled.

'FINALLY!' he screams in his head.

On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin's eyes fixed on the piece of the map that belongs to Sanguan Jin Sheng as he tries to remember every detail of the map, while sanguan Jin sheng examined the map to determine the sword Location. Not long after Sanguan Liu Wen come, this is the first time Zhao Li Xin saw the old man moves with great vigor, his face look younger ten years from his actual age.

"Father, take a look at this!" Sanguan Jin sheng forget about formality and Sanguan Li wen didn't bother either, the father and Son are way too excited, while Zhao Li Xin still concentrated on remembering the detail of Sanguan Jin Sheng map, if only Sanguan Jin sheng know that his map is the only one that real.

"Let me see – let me see!" he jubilant to see the legendary map.

"Father do you know where is this location?" sanguan Jin sheng frown because he can't recognize a few parts of the map.

"It's a thousand years old map, we need time to learn it. We need to compare this map with today's map and see if we could find a similar place like a mountain, or a hill…" Sanguan Liu Wen is very optimistic. Sanguan Jin Sheng thought Sanguan Liu Wen is right so he becomes more excited than before. 

"You all seem busy, so I will excuse myself" Zhao Li Xin already carved everything in his mind he only need get back to his room and draw everything when it still fresh.

"Ah, wait Lu Xin!" Sanguan Jin sheng stop him.

Zhao Li Xin halts his step and turns around, since Sanguan Jin Sheng is in a good mood his expression is less strict than usual "After you raised your cultivation we can search the crimson lightning sword then we can talk about your engagement with Bai Xue" he said like he grants Zhao Li Xin a great honor, he wants to incite Zhao Li Xin ambition to have the sword so he would listen to him better.

Zhao Li Xin notices the slyness in Sanguan Jin Sheng's eyes, he sneers inwardly.

"Okay" he answers briefly before he left the room.

Sanguan Jin Sheng snickered while watching Zhao Li Xin figure disappear behind the door, after he found the sword the next step is how to controlled Zhao Li Xin, he couldn't do that directly so he must use Bai Xue, he also needs to talk to Sanguan Wu Ci so he could calm his mother and make him understand the 'real' situation is.

"I never thought, I would able see the whole mp when I'm still alive" sanguan Li wen eyes moist in delight.

"Not only that father, but we will also have the legendary sword and soon our family will rule the world, just like Emperor Lei Yu" his eyes widen as a wave of gratification gradually surged within him, this has been a long obsession for him, his father and grandfather has told the story about Emperor Lei Yu to many time he can recite everything even if he's drunk.

They fill this head with the story of the mighty and glory of Emperor Lei Yu, they told him that they were the descendant of emperor Lei Yu close subordinated, that why they have one piece of the map, he told him that all Lei yu power came from the sword so if they can have the sword they would inherit Lei Yu power but unfortunately only the heir of Lei Yu could use the sword, The sanguan family had searched the Lei Yu descendant for as long as they can remember until they found Qin Mu Yi.

"That boy, is he listen to you…." Sanguan Liu Wen gradually furrows

"He begins to warm up because of Bai Xue" Sanguan Jin Sheng smile cunningly.

Sanguan Liu wen stroke his beard there was a crinkle suspicion in his eyes then he lifts his head toward his son "Bai Xue is good but she's not part of sanguan family, we can't trust her completely, who knows when she turns our back from us, although she looks gentle at the outside, however, I could see in her eyes that she is very ambitious, cunning and quite opportunistic too.

Sanguan Jin sheng stunned but he agrees with his father, he realizes if his son only listened to Bai Xue words then what would happen when Bai Xue turn her side against the Sanguan family instead, and what would happen if Bai Xue falls in love with Lu Xin then decide to change her side, this is not impossible since he saw how Bai Xue stare at Lu Xin if she's not falling in love yet she's about to go to…..this is not good.

"Thank God Father is wiser than me, I almost make a terrible mistake" Sanguan Jin Sheng sighs.

"I have a plan, and we can use this opportunity to see to whom her loyalty is given to" the old man's eyes glint dangerously.

"Oh, and what about Li Ye matters with long Ming wife, I'm planning to give Hei Shen sect warning. We can't let other people think our family is pushover"

"You can do that but I think it useless, with Long Ming's character he wouldn't care what other people said" the old man shakes his head in contempt, compared to his son he is more farsighted.

"What is father's suggestion then…." 

"It's better if we aimed at Long Ming wife instead, didn't the royal family involvement with the incident, why don't we asked Princess Youya to knocked some sense to Long Ming wife"

"Ah, you right!" Sanguan Jin Sheng exclaimed, is easier to put pressure on Long Ming wife than long ming itself, he vaguely remembers Lory during the banquet, although Lory seems witty she wouldn't be better than Princess Youya isn't she? "I send message to princess Youya right away," said Sanguan Jin Sheng.

When Lory enters her room she was surprised with Ming Yue Yin who ate dumplings comfortably on her table as if she's in her own room. 

"You're here!" she waves her chopstick carelessly.

"And your eating in my room…" Lory gives sarcastic smile which she's ignored, obviously.

"Dumpling?" she beckoned Lory to joined her.

Lory shrugs her shoulder "Sure!" she accepts the dumpling then sits next to Ming Yue Yin. Lory knows Ming Yue Yin got something in her mind but Lory is not in a rush to make Ming Yue Yin speak, Lory enjoys her meal while waiting patiently.

Ming Yue Yin finishes her last dumpling, she sipped her tea and wiped her mouth. After a few seconds, she begins to speak "I will return home tomorrow…." She stares at Lory nervously.

"Okay…" Lory casually replies while munching her food.

"You're not angry?" Ming Yue Yin said with worry.

"Why?" Lory make a casual shrug.

"Well….I leave you in the middle of this ...troubles" she genuinely feel bad for leaving Lory in this situation, with Lao Min Na, Lazarus, sanguan family, and god's know what else, she knows Lory need all help she could get but here she is the one who proclaims to be Lory family leaving her behind to handle her own matter, she feel very selfish and heartless.

"I always in troubles" Lory stifles then she put more dumpling on her plate "I have trouble before I met you, I have trouble after I met you and I will have more trouble in the future so why make a fuss?"

"I know…" Ming Yue Yin lowers her head, Lory's right but he still didn't feel good. 

"Come on brat, I'm okay you got nothing to worry about, is Zhao Li Xin and Girsha job!" Lory smacks Ming Yue Yin's shoulder in jest, she laughs heartily without showing any hesitation. 

Her comfort does make Ming Yue Yin feel better, she takes another sip and smiles faintly "You are right…"

"Of course I'm" Lory snort "Afterall you are the Ruler of your kingdom, how long you want to stay with me, don't forget you have obligation to your people and all the subordinated that count on you" Lory raised her eyebrows and kindly remind her.

"Yeah, I know- I know" she folded her hands on the table and sighs then she turn her head at Lory "You don't look surprised, do you know I met with that stupid general?" she gasped.

"Duh, you met with Yuan Shao at my place how could I didn't know?" Lory rolls her eyes.

"Hump, you got information from the busybody Hei Shen people aren't you….?" 

"Not at first though…" Lory finishes her meal then wiped her mouth "Yuan Xue An told Yang Xi Ying and Xi Ying told me, she even told me that you and Yuan Shao reconcile" Lory said in glee.

Ming Yue Yin face scrunch up "You know what, I never thought that Yang Xi Ying is a gossipy type"

"Well, I never doubt a second about it…."
