Chapter 78 My Cheap Mother's Belongings

Chapter 78 My Cheap Mother's Belongings (4/5)

"Aunt Rong, what's this?"

"This was left to you by your mother." Yang Yourong pouted, her lips trembling as if she were about to cry. "I've tested you several times in the past, but you didn't even believe me and kept pretending to be stupid. I can't very well give this to you."

Wu Cheng was speechless.

It's not that he doesn't trust you! He's just genuinely naive!

Wu Cheng quickly changed the subject, "Aunt Rong, what's in this box?"

"How would I know? This is something your mother left you, and I haven't even opened it." Yang Yourong rolled her eyes at him, but soon two mountains of pressure piled up on his back. "Quick, quick! Open it so Aunt Rong can see it too!"

Wu Cheng was speechless, but he still obediently opened it.

Sure enough, inside was a jade key and an incomplete sheepskin map.

Yang Yourong, perched on his back, reached into the box and took out a piece of jade, examining it in her hands. "What's this?"

"Six keys are needed to open Sun Lang's treasure vault." Wu Cheng had nothing to hide from Yang Yourong, who had raised him since he was a child. "The parchment scroll is a map, but it requires four maps to be pieced together. This is the third map I have ever seen."

"So this is what Sun Lang's treasure trove is all about." Yang Yourong suddenly seemed a little disheartened.

Wu Cheng took out the sheepskin map and glanced at it. The location of the treasure vault was still not marked on it, but as expected, there was a sentence in beautiful handwriting on the back.

The stone sarcophagus serves as the gate, and the stars as the direction.

If we combine this with the other two maps, it becomes: "The stone coffin is the door, the stars are the direction. It cannot be opened without blood, nor can it be reached without the moon. When the six keys are combined, the treasure will appear."

Tsk, just a little off.

But how could my deceased mother have this thing?

"Aunt Rong, how did my mother come to have this?"

Yang Yourong simply turned her head and lay on her side on the soft couch with her back to him. "I don't know! Don't ask me! It's getting late, and I'm tired. Your new house is still waiting for you to tidy up. Come and chat with me another day when you're free."

"Aunt Rong?"

No matter how Wu Cheng called her, she still turned her back to him and ignored him.

Wu Cheng's gaze unconsciously lingered on the rounded shape that suddenly widened below her extremely narrow waist, but he quickly looked away.

"Aunt Rong, I'll be going now. I'll come see you again next time."

Wu Cheng rose, bowed, and then left the inner hall.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Yang Yourong let out a melancholy sigh, "Senior sister, you still won't give up..."

'

As he stepped out of the bedchamber, the summer breeze carried away the lingering sweet fragrance emanating from him.

Wu Cheng nodded to Qingque, then walked out of Guiyue Palace, with Qingque following silently.

Once outside the palace gates, a sedan chair was already waiting.

The sedan chair bearers were all pale-faced, beardless eunuchs. Upon seeing Wu Cheng emerge, they bowed respectfully. The leader said, "Your Highness, the residence bestowed by His Majesty is located on Zhuque Street. Shall I lead you there?"

"No rush." ​​Wu Cheng waved his hand and slipped fifty taels of silver into his hand. "Send me to the Star-Picking Tower first."

The eunuch was taken aback, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. He simply replied "Yes," accepted the silver notes, and, along with the others, lifted the sedan chair and walked forward.

The restaurant where Xue Jianren and his group were staying was called Zhaixinglou, which was also the best restaurant in Lin'an. Because it was built with five floors, it was named with the meaning of "being able to pluck the stars with one's hand".

However, the fact that this restaurant, which clearly exceeded the permitted size, could be built in Lin'an and still operate for so long clearly indicates that the owner behind Zhaixinglou is no ordinary person.

But Wu Cheng didn't care. How could someone be bigger than him, a prince?

When he and Qingque stepped into the private room by the window on the third floor of the Star-Picking Tower, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time immediately stood up.

"Your Highness."

Sun Kewang had changed into a clean gray cloth long gown and had his hair tied up again. He looked much more energetic than when he was seen in Xin'an County.

Although the bruises on his face haven't completely faded yet, at least he no longer looks like he's about to collapse at any moment.

Wu Cheng pressed his shoulder to make him sit down, then turned his gaze to the others, finally fixing it on Bai Suyi.

Bai Suyi changed into a white outfit, her long hair tied up high with a silver hairpin, revealing her slender neck and smooth jawline.

She maintained her usual nonchalant demeanor, but Wu Cheng's nostrils twitched slightly, and then he frowned.

He walked up to Bai Suyi without saying a word, then suddenly leaned close to her shoulder and sniffed.

Bai Suying was startled, and subconsciously took two steps back, clutching her sword to her chest. A blush rose on her fair cheeks. "Junior brother, there are too many people here."

""

Qingque looked at her coldly.

A lot of people?

What does it mean?

Just because there are fewer people, does that mean you can do whatever you want with His Highness?

If looks could kill, Bai Suying would have been torn to pieces by Qingque by now.

Xue Jianren sat up straight, silently lamenting to himself, "This is bitter indeed."

He subconsciously turned around and saw Sun Kewang holding a teacup and examining it carefully, as if there were some kind of secret martial arts manual inside.

And Bodhidharma... he's even more outrageous!

At this moment, he had already put his palms together, bowed his head, closed his eyes, and begun chanting scriptures!

Xue Jian's face darkened, and he simply stared intently at Damo's shiny bald head, pretending to be a tree.

Wu Cheng's face also darkened. "Senior sister, don't change the subject. Why do you smell of blood? Are you injured?"

"No." Bai Suying blinked. "It's Tiankui who's here."

Wu Cheng: "...Never mind, I didn't ask."

Bai Suyi smiled, then glanced at Xue Jianren and the other two.

Bodhidharma continued to chant sutras with his head down and eyes closed, Sun Kewang continued to stare at the teacup and "cultivate divine skills", and Xue Jianren, who was already drenched in sweat, continued to try to become a tree.

As for the fact that Bai Suying left after Wu Cheng and the others went to the palace, and that she had just walked in not long ago covered in blood and with a frosty expression, they certainly wouldn't let Wu Cheng know.

Wu Cheng still looked at Bai Suyi, who had a carefree smile on her face, with some suspicion.

As he gradually learns about the true nature of his senior sister behind her mask, he feels that she is definitely hiding something from him.

But just as he was about to ask further questions, he heard a commotion.

Then a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"You've arrived."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I still came."

Wu Cheng's lips twitched.

Well, it's the same old routine. No wonder it felt familiar.

Xue Jianren suddenly stood up excitedly, as if he had discovered a new continent. "Your Highness! There's a martial arts competition! Shall we go take a look?"

Wu Cheng glanced at Bai Suyi, and his senior sister returned his smile.

Wu Cheng sighed, "Alright, let's go take a look."

Now that my horizons have broadened, I'll go and see just how capable those two really are.

The group left the private room and went down to the first floor, where they saw the Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber King and the Autumn Water Swordsman Li Changfeng standing about ten feet apart.

The onlookers around them were already flushed with excitement and were now chattering excitedly.

"See that? That's Li Changfeng, the Autumn Water Swordsman! He's renowned throughout western Zheng County and parts of Kaifeng! Even the Fourth Prince, ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, has to use his name to uphold justice! And that Five Tigers Severing Gate Saber King is no simple character either! It's said that after their battle at Longmen Ferry, they both gained enlightenment and their martial arts have greatly improved! Today, they've probably come to settle their differences!"
