Chapter 1098: The Sacred Clan’s Treasure

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The secret that Han Jingshu held was huge. Perhaps Yan Huaijing could not tell what the “Holy Soul Pearl” was, but if Yu Wan was here, she would immediately understand that it was a treasure that belonged to the Sacred

Clan.

Yan Huaijing was at his wits’ end. Han Jingshu was lying on the bed with a pale face like a withered flower, but he could not do anything. He finally took her hand. At this moment, he sincerely felt reluctant to part with this woman.

Perhaps men were indeed cheap things. They only knew how to cherish it after losing it. All he could think of now was Han Jingshu’s good points.

“If you survive, I won’t let you down.”

Outside the ajar door, Jun Chang’an watched this scene quietly. After a while, he turned around and disappeared into the night expressionlessly.

In a small straw hut in the west of the city, a man in green was sitting under the porch with a chessboard in front of him. The man placed a white piece down. He did not look up, but he said, “Since you’re already here, show yourself.”

Jun Chang’an used his qinggong and landed in front of him.

“Take off your shoes. This is a freshly polished floor,” the man said.

Jun Chang’an took off his shoes and walked up the corridor in his clean white socks. “It’s not clean at all,” Jun Chang’an said in disdain.

“Anyway, I wiped it,” the man said.

Jun Chang’an sat cross-legged opposite the man and hugged his sword. He was a swordsman, and his sword never left his hand.

The man looked at his sword and smiled. “You haven’t thrown this lousy sword away yet? How many years has it been? Is the Second Prince so stingy? He’s already the Crown Prince, yet he doesn’t give you a famous sword?”

Jun Chang’an said, “I’m not here to discuss my weapon with you.”

The man smiled. “Then you’re here to ask about your brother’s whereabouts? Unfortunately, you can’t afford the price.”

“Bai Xiaosheng.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll pay the price you want,” Jun Chang’an said solemnly.

“Oh?” Bai Xiaosheng looked up.

It was rumored that Bai Xiaosheng had a thousand faces. No one had seen his true appearance. The face he wore today was definitely not any face Jun Chang’an had ever seen, but Jun Chang’an had a way to find him and recognize him.

“Are you… sure?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a faint smile.

“I’m sure,” Jun Chang’an said.

Bai Xiaosheng put the unfinished chess piece back into the chess box and looked at Jun Chang’an with interest. “Actually, I can give you a piece of news for free about your brother. He wasn’t captured by the Ghost Clan.

“I can take my time to find my brother,” Jun Chang’an said.

Bai Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows. “From what you’re saying… you’re here to buy news for others? You have to think carefully. I’m only doing one business per person. After I sell you the news, I’ll never sell you the news of your brother again. ”

Jun Chang’an lowered his eyes. “…I know.”

Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes. “I’m suddenly very curious. You’ve been obsessed with it for so many years but refused to give me what I want. Who is it for this time?”

Jun Chang’an did not say anything.

Bai Xiaosheng picked up the teapot on the stove and made himself a cup of tea. He also made a cup for Jun Chang’an. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Tell me, what do you want to ask?”

Jun Chang’an didn’t even look at the cup of tea. “The Crown Princess Consort has been poisoned. I want to detoxify her.”

Pfft—

Bai Xiaosheng spat out the tea in his mouth!

“Yan Huaijing’s woman? Are you crazy, Jun Chang’an?” Bai Xiaosheng had been in the pugilistic world for many years, but this was the first time he had lost his composure like this!

Jun Chang’an said seriously, “This has nothing to do with you. You only have to tell me, do you have this news for sale or not?”

Bai Xiaosheng wiped his mouth with his sleeve. “There’s no need to goad me. There’s nothing in the world that I, Bai Xiaosheng, can’t obtain! I don’t have the antidote, but I can tell you who can cure her Gu! As for whether you can invite that person, that will depend on your own ability.”

Jun Chang’an frowned. “Aren’t you being a little too shameless?”

No matter what, he should invite that person to the Crown Prince Manor to be worthy of the price he was about to pay!

Bai Xiaosheng spread his hands. “So, you should save the price for your brother. Why waste it on a woman who has nothing to do with you?”

Upon hearing this, Jun Chang’an understood that there was no room for negotiation.

Bai Xiaosheng looked into Jun Chang’an’s eyes without blinking. “I’ll ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to buy this news?”

Yan Jiuchao went to court again.

In the past, when he was by her side, he was not always in front of Yu Wan. Sometimes, he would enter seclusion for a few days, but that feeling was still different from after he went to court.

Yu Wan missed him! She muttered weakly, “What’s wrong with me? Am I getting worse the more I live? We’re clearly an old couple, yet I’m still so mushy?”

If she couldn’t see Yan Jiuchao, then it was good to look at a few copies. Hence, the three little eggs were caught by their mother. But why was the way Mother looked at them so scary…

After lunch, the three little eggs and Little Bruiser returned to Prince Yan’s courtyard to rest. Yu Wan also returned to her room to lie down for a while. As soon as she fell asleep, a guard from the gate reported, “Someone requests to see Young Madam! He said that he’s an old acquaintance of Young Madam!”

Tao’er and Li’er looked at each other. Just as they were about to enter the room to report, Ping’er walked out. Ping’er said, “What old acquaintance? Let him wait! Young Madam is resting. We’ll talk when she wakes up!”

“Uh… yes!” Ping’er was Yu Wan’s trusted maidservant. The guard did not dare to be negligent and replied truthfully outside the manor.

“Pinger, is this fine? What if… it’s a very important person?” Liter asked softly.

Li’er and Tao’er had entered the manor early. They were maidservants who had been brought into the manor by Uncle Wan during Yu Wan’s wedding.

However. in terms of serving Yu Wan. the two of them were not as rich as Ping’er. Ping’er had followed Yu Wan everywhere and had long figured out Yu Wan’s personality. Because she had experienced life and death, she was much bolder than the maidservants in the manor.

Ping’er said, “Does Young Madam have any old acquaintances in the Capital? The kind who needs to wait outside the door to report?”

The two maidservants were stunned. That was right! Their Young Madam had grown up in the countryside and was not familiar with the high-ranking officials and noble ladies in the capital at all! If it was someone from the Xiao Manor or the Yu family, they could enter without reporting.

Yu Wan slept until evening. If Jun Chang’an wasn’t afraid that the other party wouldn’t treat her in a fit of anger, he would have barged into the manor hundreds of times.

When Ping’er combed Yu Wan’s hair, she mentioned that her “old acquaintances” were waiting outside the manor. Yu Wan felt that Ping’er, this maidservant, really touched her heart. She would be angry if she was woken up halfway!

“Is he still there?”

‘Yes.”

“Let him go to the reception pavilion.”

“Yes.”

Ping’er went outside the manor to lead Jun Chang’an to the reception pavilion in the outer court. When Yu Wan saw Jun Chang’an, she could not help but be stunned. Who… was this guy? She had been stupid for three years because of pregnancy. She felt that her brain was not as good as before. She clearly felt that he looked familiar, but she could not remember who he was for a moment. “Jun Chang’an greets the Princess Consort.” Jun Chang’an cupped his hands and bowed.

Yu Wan remembered when she heard this name. Wasn’t this Yan Huaijing’s personal expert, the swordsman from the pugilistic world?

It was said that he could fight Shadow Thirteen to a draw, but this was already a year ago. Shadow Thirteen had a special physique. Every time he didn’t die, he would undergo nirvana to become an even stronger existence. Yu Wan roughly estimated that Shadow Thirteen at least had the strength of a peak Asura.

If the two of them fought again… Could it still be a draw?

Jun Chang’an would never have expected that the first time the dignified Regent Consort saw him, she would actually think of who was better at fighting between him and Shadow Thirteen!

“Princess Consort?” Jun Chang’an was still bowing.

“Oh, rise!” Yu Wan came back to her senses and found a chance to let the two of them fight! Ahem, that’s wrong. It was a spar. “Why? Is the Crown Prince looking for me?” Yu Wan asked indifferently.

“It’s me. I’m looking for the Princess Consort for something.” It wasn’t that Jun Chang’an hadn’t thought of whose name was better. The person he wanted to save was Han Jingshu. Yan Huaijing was Han Jingshu’s husband, so it was only right and proper to use his name. What was he? Did he overstep his bounds?

However, when he thought of Yan Huaijing’s relationship with the Young Master Manor, Jun Chang’an felt that the Princess Consort would definitely not give Yan Huaijing face.

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Oh? Why is Hero Jun looking for me?”

Hero… Jun? What… What kind of tacky way of address was this?! Jun Chang’an shivered. He stabilized his expression and said, “I want to ask the Princess Consort to save someone for me.”

“Han Jingshu?”

“…Yes.” Jun Chang’an was surprised. “How did Your Highness guess?”

“Is there a need to guess? You’re from the Crown Prince Manor. The Crown Princess Consort has an incurable illness. My relationship with Yan Huaijing is so bad. If he comes forward, I’ll definitely ignore him. As for you…” Yu Wan crossed her arms and looked down at him.” Actually, I don’t really want to agree to your request.”

Yu Wan did not ask Jun Chang’an why he had come forward to seek treatment for Han Jingshu. In her opinion, there were only two possibilities. One was that Yan Huaijing had asked him to come. The other was that he had come himself. If she had an incurable illness one day and needed Shadow Thirteen and Little Six to come forward, she believed that they would not hesitate.

Yu Wan felt that Jun Chang’an treated Han Jingshu like Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen treated her. It was a relationship between loyalty and revolutionary friendship. Therefore, it was not strange for Jun Chang’an to look for her. It was strange why Jun Chang’an thought that she could treat Han Jingshu.

Had her Little Gu been exposed?
