Qi Yun took away the agreement between Xuanyuan Chen and the tip of his finger, and laughed: "You flatter me, you flatter me. I wonder what Prince Chen thinks? "
"This King can sign this agreement, but the quantity of Soul-Breaking Grass..." Xuanyuan Chen did not say how many Soul-Breaking Grass s he would need, but who was Qi Yun?
The smile on his face became even more enigmatic, "Prince Chen's meaning is that I already know of its meaning, and we are not people who want to act good at a cheap price. Since Prince Chen has a request, then we shall follow your wishes."
Xuanyuan Chen smiled with an unfathomable meaning, in his heart he felt that Qi Yun was worthy of being his opponent's match.
Jun Changyou placed the Soul-Breaking Grass solemnly into Xuanyuan Chen's hands, and said sincerely: "I believe that Prince Chen will be satisfied with the amount of Soul-Breaking Grass in here. I just hope, however, that Prince Chen will strictly abide by the requirements above the agreement."
Xuanyuan Chen took the Soul-Breaking Grass and examined it carefully. After discovering that there were no mistakes, he gave his assurance, "This king knows, so I ask your majesty to be at ease."
Shang Zhiqing sent the three of them out of the Yue Country Imperial Palace and into a restaurant in the capital city. On the way, the four of them remained silent.
Shang Zhiqing took out a jug of wine from the restaurant and poured a cup for Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan and Xie Qingrong.
Then, he asked Xie Qingrong: "When do you plan to leave Yue Country?"
Xie Qingrong held onto her wine cup and said indifferently: "We'll leave tomorrow. Do you want to send us off?"
Shang Zhiqing shook his head, and said: "I know that your target is not only Soul-Breaking Grass, but also metazoan flower." Her gaze did not turn towards Xie Qingrong and the rest, staring at the wine cup in front of him.
The hand that Xie Qingrong used to hold the wine cup trembled, a sharp glint flashed past the depths of her eyes. Her cold gaze landed on Shang Zhiqing's face.
She had never been able to guess the power behind Shang Zhiqing. Even when the profound mechanism was digging, she could not dig up any information on Shang Zhiqing.
It was as if this person had appeared out of thin air.
Xuanyuan Chen took a small sip of the wine in his cup, and the fragrance of the wine instantly permeated his lips and teeth, as he laughed lightly: "Looks like merchant girl knows where metazoan flower grow."
"That's right. I do know where the metazoan flower are. " Shang Zhiqing nodded, agreeing to Xuanyuan Chen's words. Pausing, she continued: "I can tell you where the metazoan flower grew, but I need a promise from you."
Shen Haoxuan suddenly stood up and said: "You two take your time, I have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."
Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand, signalling that Shen Haoxuan could leave. Shang Zhiqing watched as Shen Haoxuan left the tavern without looking back. The light in his eyes gradually faded and became dim.
"First, tell me what promise this merchant girl needs this king to make?" Xuanyuan Chen asked as he held his wine cup.
"Since that's the case, I shall remember that Prince Chen made a promise today." Shang Zhiqing said indifferently, "metazoan flower are the legendary Flower of Hell. Rumor has it that it grows on both sides of the road to life in the Underworld, and that it can kill people on the verge of death. In fact, it was not as mystical as the rumors made it out to be, but it did have the effect of reviving the dead.
It was just that the conditions for the metazoan flower to grow were extremely difficult. It was born in a high, bitter and cold land. Currently, there was a metazoan flower growing on the mountain between the Chu Country and the Heavenly Sacred Grounds. That flower grew between the cliffs, and with the python's protection, no one could get close to it.
The rest grew up on the five ring shaped mountains in the middle region. The only difference is that the five mountains are much more difficult to move than the Chu Country Mountains. "
"Can merchant girl be certain that there is a metazoan flower at the location of the Chu Country and the Heavenly Saint?" Xuanyuan Chen asked.
"Fifteen years ago, my father picked a stalk, and now, that metazoan flower should have bloomed at that time." Shang Zhiqing said indifferently.
"Thank you merchant girl for your reminder." Xuanyuan Chen toasted Shang Zhiqing.
Shang Zhiqing also picked up his wine cup in return, drinking it all in one gulp, and said: "There's no need to be so courteous."
Her gaze landed on the spot where Shen Haoxuan was sitting at a moment ago, which was now empty. She bit her lips, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she gave up and stood up to say her goodbyes.
"Elder Sister Rong, we will meet again in the future due to fate. Help me and Shen Haoxuan and tell us that we will meet again in the future. "
Xie Qingrong frowned, a teasing look in her eyes, and laughed: "Why didn't you personally tell him?"
Shang Zhiqing frowned in difficulty, she only felt her heart being tugged at, pursing her lips, and said: "He probably doesn't want to see me, after all, I was the one who left without saying goodbye back then."
"In that case, this farewell is all the more reason for you to speak to him in person. Furthermore, you are intelligent, and your mind is shrewd. You won't be able to see through his feelings for you. " Xie Qingrong consoled.
She had long since seen through the feelings Shen Haoxuan had for her. It was because of this that she chose to leave without saying goodbye.
Her long nails dug into her palm, but she didn't feel any pain. After a while, she murmured, "Let me think about it."
Finishing his words, he turned around and left.
Shen Haoxuan hid in a corner on the second floor as he watched Shang Zhiqing's figure leave.
After not seeing her for a while, she had become even thinner. Her long, smoky green skirt made her seem even thinner than paper. When the wind blew, she would collapse.
"What, you only dare to sneakily hide here and peek at him, and you don't dare to openly talk to him. Shen Haoxuan, when were you so cowardly? " Xie Qingrong raised her beautiful eyebrows and teased.
"Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me. "It's not like you don't know, I …" Just as Shen Haoxuan was about to explain, he suddenly realized something and shut his mouth.
"You what? If you're a man, then go for it. A man should marry a woman, what are you afraid of? " Xie Qingrong patted Shen Haoxuan's shoulders, consoling him, hoping that he would be brave enough to take the first step.
"Moreover, I feel that Shang Zhiqing has feelings for you. If you are brave enough to take the first step, you might be able to get your hands on a beauty. " Xie Qingrong continued to speak.
She could already tell that Shang Zhiqing and Shen Haoxuan were close to each other, she just did not know why Shang Zhiqing had left that day without a single word of farewell.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you're not lying? You didn't joke with me? " Shen Haoxuan asked, as though he did not dare believe what Xie Qingrong had said. After all, he had seen through all the secrets that Shang Zhiqing had hidden from him.
Xie Qingrong saw Shen Haoxuan's hesitation, confusion, and deep helplessness in the depths of his eyes. His heart was filled with emotion, and someone as free and easy as Shen Haoxuan actually had a day where he was troubled by his feelings.
Nodding his head, he said with certainty, "The eyes will not lie. Shang Zhiqing's eyes were clearly and clearly filled with affection for you. "
