"Counting them is easy. I have a good tool here that can weigh these two boxes of silver in an instant. Once you calculate it, you'll know exactly how much silver there is in a short time."

Yan An raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Yan Shaoheng with a mocking gaze.

Yan Shaoheng truly felt that he had come at the wrong time. Why did he have to run into this girl again? Yan Shaoheng felt that Yan An in front of him was his nemesis.

Yan An shook his head. "Judging from Prince Heng's expression, he seems dissatisfied with my idea. Could it be that Prince Heng wants Yue Xiyuan to send someone to conduct a special inventory?"

"However, two hundred and fifty taels is not a lot, and it is easy to count. Otherwise, you can go and count it yourself, instead of having Prince Heng bring it over and go through all the trouble."

Hearing Yan An's sarcastic words, Yan Shaoheng really wanted to slap her to death.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go immediately."

However, Yan Shaoheng's anger came and went quickly; why should he get angry with a teenager?

"Your Highness, do you still remember the Linglong Pavilion that I mentioned yesterday?"

"What does it matter if I remember or not?"

These two are truly a match made in heaven.

"The Linglong Pavilion suddenly appeared in the four kingdoms more than a decade ago. No one knows who the master behind the Linglong Pavilion is. It has only appeared once in all these years, when the Tianshan Water appeared in the world, and the Linglong Pavilion Master and the Regent King fought for the Tianshan Water."

"However, I heard that the Regent was slightly better and managed to seize the water of Tianshan."

[If this guy can't speak properly, he should just shut up. What do you mean by "snatched"? He clearly won.]

Yan An thought to himself, "This old guy is fifty years old, and he still can't speak properly."

"However, a few days ago, I acquired a bottle of Tianshan Water at Linglong Pavilion. Moreover, Tianshan Water has appeared in the other three kingdoms, including the Moon Kingdom. This means that Linglong Pavilion has obtained Tianshan Water and may even have controlled its source."

Yan Shaoheng's eyes revealed an insatiable greed and longing for the waters of Tianshan.

"I dislike beating around the bush. Prince Heng, please speak plainly. Don't wait until I lose patience before you say what you want to say."

"Since the Regent has also searched for the waters of Tianshan, it means that the Regent also wants to possess them. Moreover, the Regent has already clashed with Linglong Pavilion. How about the Regent makes a deal with me? I will help you eliminate Linglong Pavilion, and then we will split the waters of Tianshan equally."

Yan An rolled her eyes at Yan Shaoheng countless times in her heart.

[You haven't even figured out who owns Linglong Pavilion, yet you're spouting nonsense and claiming you can take it over. Don't you even know who's sitting in front of you?]

"Why does Prince Heng think that just because I once competed with the Pavilion Master of Linglong Pavilion for the waters of Tianshan, I should want to eliminate Linglong Pavilion? Who gave you the courage?"

"I know the answer to this question, Master. It's Liang Jingru!"

Just then, An Si returned after counting the silver. An Si often traveled between his master and queen, and he had learned most of the queen's catchphrases.

Prince Heng was somewhat puzzled. Who was this Fish Leong? And why was she associated with courage?

But he didn't ask any more questions, knowing that if he did, he would become the laughingstock of these two little brats.

"Has the inventory been completed?"

"Your Highness, I have finished counting."

"But two hundred and fifty taels?" Yan Shaoheng asked.

“Prince Heng is an idiot.”

Yan Shaoheng didn't know why Yue Xiyuan wanted two hundred and fifty taels of silver, nor did he understand what those two hundred and fifty taels meant. Now, hearing An Si say this, it sounded so unpleasant...

"This Linglong Pavilion has existed in the four kingdoms for decades. I'm sure the Regent is aware of it. Besides auctioning treasures, the Linglong Pavilion also sells information. The Regent should understand that there are quite a few people from the Moon Kingdom among them. What if it gets leaked..."

"Your Highness is overthinking it. After all, if I were to discover that someone had leaked the secrets of the Moon Kingdom, I would take their head myself."

"However, I think that Prince Heng feels that Linglong Pavilion is in his way and wants to use me to get rid of Linglong Pavilion."

Yan Shaoheng, whose intentions were immediately exposed by Yue Xiyuan, did not panic at all. He maintained a calm smile on his face, his expression composed and calm, as if everything was under his control.

"What does Your Majesty mean by this? I merely wish to cooperate with Your Majesty. What is the Linglong Pavilion to me in any way?"

Yan Shaoheng did not expect that Yue Xiyuan's next words would cause his expression to change drastically.

"Oh? Is that so? Could it be that my information is false? That Prince Heng has no connection with Ying at all?"

Yan An's eyes sparkled with curiosity; he was clearly very interested in the question.

"What shadow?"

Yue Xiyuan patiently explained to Yan An, showing no sign of impatience.

"Shadow is a newly established assassin organization that emerged nineteen years ago. Each assassin is exceptionally skilled and decisive. Each assassin is named after Shadow, just like Cheng Ying, who serves Prince Heng. Because they have their own intelligence system, many people have paid a lot of money to hire them to kill people since their establishment."

"Until later, the Linglong Pavilion appeared. Unlike the Shadow, the Linglong Pavilion only sells information. Every appearance of the Shadow costs a sky-high price. Compared to hiring someone to kill, some people prefer to choose the Linglong Pavilion. However, the Linglong Pavilion has its own rules, which is that it will not accept or sell to those who are not destined to be with the Linglong Pavilion."

"And this assassin organization, Shadow, according to my investigation, has a close relationship with Prince Heng."

"Prince Heng, do you think what I said is right or wrong?"

Yue Xiyuan kept testing Yan Shaoheng's bottom line with his words, trying to see how much he could tolerate.

After Yue Xiyuan's explanation, Yan An suddenly realized what was going on.

[So this photo belongs to Yan Shaoheng. But it took Yan Shaoheng nineteen years to build the Shadow Studio, while Yue Xiyuan only took half a year to build the Linglong Pavilion. I have to say, her man is more capable.]

The Dark Pavilion is an organization hidden behind the Linglong Pavilion. Compared to the Shadow Pavilion, the Dark Pavilion has never appeared in this world. The Dark Guards have always been Yue Xiyuan's subordinates, which is common knowledge.

Yan Shaoheng glared angrily, as if he wanted to burn everything down.

When did you find out?

"Does this mean Prince Heng has admitted it?"

"What's the point of admitting it? What's the point of not admitting it?"

Yan Shaoheng also answered Yue Xiyuan's question in the same way that Yue Xiyuan had just done.

"Of course not, but since what I said is true, then Prince Heng doesn't need to be so hypocritical as to impose his intention to eliminate Linglong Pavilion on me."
