C94 Keeper

It was destined to be an extraordinary night. To Chu Jingli, this night was truly unordinary.

"Young Master, Ru Ying has something that I want to show you."

Chu Jingli quickly got up from the bed, "What is it?"

"Young Master, please come with me."

Just like that, like a shadow leading the way, he led the way into a secret chamber.

There was already someone waiting inside the secret chamber with a dull expression. It must be because he had made up his mind.

"Follow me." Actually, she shouldn't have been surprised to see him here. After all, they were cousins.

However, the matter of these two siblings luring him here at night had to be left to his imagination.

Could it be that Zhao Rujun was not dead? Hide here? But it didn't look like it. The secret room was empty, except for a platform three steps away in front of them. Something was placed on the platform, covered by a black cloth.

"Young Master, after you." He made a hand gesture and indicated Chu Jingli to go forward. Then, he took off the black cloth and indeed, an exquisite box was revealed.

Ru Ying also walked forward silently and stretched out his hand to caress it, muttering, "It's all because of the thing inside that caused Miss to die."

Chu Jingli didn't understand. Why did he say that Zhao Rujun's death was related to the contents of the box? Had he been able to determine the cause of her death?

He silently took out a key from his waist, opened the lock, and opened the box. Inside was a shining sword.

This sword was dazzling, filled with spirit energy. With one glance, one could tell that it was no ordinary sword.

"Young Master, I believe you have guessed that it is the Dian Cang Sword." His expression was still as calm as before. Tonight, he had successfully completed his mission and was able to comfort his master's spirit in heaven.

"Dian Cang... It really is a peerless sword. " Chu Jingli's eyes revealed a hint of admiration. He was a martial arts fanatic and a sword fanatic. He had hidden countless swords, but none of them were comparable to the sword in front of him.

Ruo Ying was still a woman after all. When she saw Dian Cang, she immediately thought of her bitter master. She said sorrowfully, "Young Master, you must properly guard the Blue Sword. You must not disappoint my Young Miss."

After Chu Jingli heard this, two questions suddenly appeared in his heart.

One, leave the Dian Cang Sword in my custody? They're not joking?

Secondly, what did this have to do with Zhao Rujun's death? She could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought.

Chu Jingli knew from his actions that the siblings were not joking.

Just like that, the Azure Dot Sword was handed over to Chu Jingli. As Chu Jingli held it in his hand, he felt that it was incomparably dexterous. This sword seemed weightless, light as a feather.

"Young Master, from now on, you are Dian Cang's master. The Zhao Family's mission can be considered successfully accomplished." He felt as if a huge boulder was lifted from his heart.

Chu Jingli ignored the happiness of getting Dian Cang and seriously asked a question, hoping to get an answer. "What happened to Zhao Rujun's death?"

As Shadow closed his eyes, his tears fell, "Young Master, you still don't understand? If Dian Cang recognizes his master, the protector shall die. This is the tyranny of Dian Cang's sword. "

"What?" Chu Jingli was shocked. The Zhao Family was protecting the sword with their life.

The Zhao Family has a gold and silver mountain, but they have to pay a corresponding price. The guardian will not live past twenty, so, the Zhao Family must marry before the age of twenty, and also give birth to a descendant. They must continue to pass on their mission to protect Dian Cang until the person arrives. "

Chu Jing fell back a step and said in a daze, "So you're saying that I was the one who killed Zhao Rujun?"

"You can say that, but Young Master also saved the Zhao Family disguised as such. If you do not appear soon, then the Zhao Family will have to guard them forever. Their children and grandchildren will all die before the age of twenty."

Who wouldn't want to die at the end of their lives, twenty years old, the most beautiful and most praiseworthy age in a man's life, and how pathetic it would be for them to die at such a time?

Chu Jingli's heart was in pain. Although following others around made sense, she still felt a bit regretful in his heart. If the price for finding the Azure Sword was Zhao Rujun's death, then he would rather wait a bit longer. After all, Zhao Rujun was only 18 years old.

"Where is your young lady's tomb?" He should see his wife in name, he thought.

"Zhao Family members died as guardians, so they didn't have tombstones or ancestral tablets."

Only then did Chu Jingli recall that when they were married, there wasn't a memorial tablet in the hall. Instead, it was replaced by a famous monk. He was still puzzled at the time, but it made sense now.

"Then where is she buried?" Since there was no tombstone, there was always a burial ground.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruo Ying and Suifeng agreed to bring him to meet Zhao Rujun.

Although the surroundings had been carefully cleaned, it still appeared extremely desolate.

Chu Jingli squatted on the side and touched the soil. It was a bit soft and a bit moist.

This was the burial ground of his wife. Zhao Rujun, who usually showed off his power and didn't put anyone in his eyes, was actually buried in such a remote place without even a proper tombstone.

Hehe, did he really agree with what he said? There is no perfection in this world, and the things one gets must be exchanged for at the same price?

The Zhao family was as wealthy as a nation, so they didn't need to worry about food or clothing. Because they received a superior life, the heavens allowed them to die young, and even after death, they didn't leave their names behind.

Isn't it too cruel to be in such a state?

Chu Jingli sat there all night. Even though he and Zhao Rujun didn't have any feelings for each other, he would still sympathize and cherish her in his heart.

She hoped that in her next life, she would be able to be reborn into an ordinary family without having to carry any mission.

On the same night, the Wu Residence on Shangguan Wan's side was also bustling with noise and excitement.

Wu Xiaofei couldn't wait to do something shameful with the beauty, Shangguan Wan tried her best to stall for time.

He didn't know how the eighth concubine was doing, but he still had to patiently wait for news from his.

"Beauty, it's already late at night. Let's hurry up and go to sleep." Wu Xiaofei didn't have much energy left. If he didn't 'finish' her off in a clear mind, he would have to wait until tomorrow night.

Shangguan Wan knew he was anxious, but still rejected him wholeheartedly, "No, I want to play hide and seek with your grandpa for a while."

"But …"

"Master, if you don't make me happy, how can I serve you with all my heart?" As Shangguan Wan said that, she bit her lips, looking very charming.

Wu Xiaofei could only do as she said and continue to accompany her in hiding.

Just then, the sound of two cats meowing came from outside. This was the signal that Shangguan Wan and Jun Yao had agreed upon.

It seemed like the show would start soon.
