Chapter 81: National Treasure
While Yu Cang was lost in thought, Gu Jieshuang came down from the second floor.
"Boss, that..."
"Did you hear everything?" Yu Cang raised his head.
"Well... I didn't mean it, boss, but the sound insulation on the second floor doesn't seem to be very good..." Gu Jieshuang looked embarrassed.
"It's okay. It's nothing shameful." Yu Cang put away his soul pointer, stood up, and put on his coat. "My parents have been missing for five years. I originally thought they were killed... Now that I know about them, I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
"Boss, don't worry too much, uncle and aunt will be safe!" Gu Jieshuang comforted.
"I hope so... With this pointer, maybe Old Man Ren can think of a way to find them. If he can't..." Yu Cang walked to the door, turned his head and looked at Gu Jieshuang, "Then when the time is right, I will go to the place where the real dragon died in person - this is what I have to do, and I'm not sure I can come back alive. So I can't give a relationship a future, and this is why I don't want to fall in love."
"……boss."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go to the lab first." Yu Cang threw over a bunch of keys. "I'll trouble you to look after the store for the next two days. Just come when you're free. Take a photo of the clock and send it to me as a sign-in so I can calculate your salary."
"Oh... okay!" Gu Jieshuang quickly agreed.
Yu Cang nodded, walked out the door, and rode away on his tricycle.
In the store, Gu Jieshuang stood there in a daze, holding the keys.
Yu Cang had already walked away, but Gu Jieshuang was still thinking about what he had just said.
"Boss, are you... explaining this to me?" She felt strange.
He felt a little disappointed, after all, this was Yu Cang's clear expression of his attitude, but at the same time, he felt relieved.
At least she knew that there was another reason why her boss didn't respond to her feelings, and it wasn't that he really had no feelings for her at all!
Then there is a chance!
and……
"It's just the place where the real dragon died, I'll go with you..."
Gu Jieshuang held the key to her chest, and chuckled as if she was thinking of something.
"I thought... I wouldn't meet someone like this again..."
So, work hard to become stronger!
If you want to go on an adventure with your boss, you must be strong enough!
Gu Jieshuang sat down at the counter, closed her eyes, and began to meditate and practice.
From now on, don’t waste any time!
…
After leaving the store, Yu Cang went directly to the principal's office and repeated Shen Zheng's words to Ren Zheng.
"What did you say?!" Ren Zheng stood up quickly, his eyes fixed on Yu Cang... To be precise, the soul energy pointer in Yu Cang's hand.
"...Don't get so excited, old man." Yu Cang took a step back. "We're still not sure if what Shen Zheng said is true. Besides, there's a possibility that this soul energy pointer is malfunctioning. Don't get your hopes up too much."
"Don't worry, I understand." Ren Zheng quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see that pointer..."
But Yu Cang held the pointer farther away, out of reach of Ren Zheng: "I can give it to you, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
"What conditions? Tell me."
"First, you can't take this pointer and go to the real dragon's death zone by yourself. Even if it's a situation like yesterday at Zulong Snow Mountain, you can't go. If you have connections and subordinates, you can ask them to investigate, but you can't go alone."
Hearing this, Ren Zheng suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, he said, "Okay then."
"Second, you must tell me all the progress immediately."
"That's no problem."
"The third one..." Yu Cang hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Forget it, these are the two. Since you promised me, I'll give you this one first."
Yu Cang only gave Ren Zheng one of the pointers, and he planned to keep the other pointer with him.
Regarding the third point, Yu Cang originally wanted to say that if it was discovered that his parents had done something bad secretly in the past five years, he hoped that he could handle it fairly, but after thinking about it, he did not say it out loud.
Old Man Ren... shouldn't hesitate on such a matter.
Ren Zheng took the pointer, looked at the direction that kept jumping on it, and took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, I know what you mean... Give me some time, I will find out!"
"Okay." Yu Cang nodded.
For the past five years, Ren Zheng has always felt guilty about himself because he has always believed that he was partly responsible for the disappearance of Yu Cang's parents.
At that time, Ren Zheng had just been promoted to Zhenguo, which was the proudest time of his life.
At this time, Yu Cang's parents entered the True Dragon Death Zone and began their second exploration. According to Ren Zheng himself, when the exploration team lost contact, he received a letter from Yu Cang's parents saying their last words. He could have immediately gone to the True Dragon Death Zone to rescue them, but he did not do so.
Because he had just obtained the mythical soul card awarded by the association: "Candle"!
In Yan Country, there are only eight myths in total, and the user of each myth is the best candidate selected by the association after layers of screening.
First of all, you must be both a national-level card maker and a national-level soul card maker, and you must also have relevant resonance, so as to ensure that you can perform some simple maintenance on this soul card when it is not in use.
After all, these soul cards are antiques, and many of them are even defective. If they are not maintained, the power of the myth may even gradually dissipate.
Therefore, although Yan State has many national guardians, it has always been difficult to choose the holder of the mythical soul card. Before Ren Zheng, the "Candle" card had not been used for decades.
Obtaining this soul card means that Ren Zheng's strength is already top-notch in Yan Country, but at the same time, there will be some restrictions - that is, those who hold the mythical soul card are not allowed to leave the city or enter dangerous areas without permission unless a major crisis occurs.
This is easy to understand. After all, the Myth Soul Card is of great importance and is a national treasure. The association will not allow the holder to do anything without authorization that may cause the risk of loss.
So, Ren Zheng did not take action.
But theoretically, if Ren Zheng takes action, the probability of rescuing Yu Cang's parents is very high. After all, the soul card "Zhu" was taken out from the real dragon's death place a thousand years ago by Emperor Chang'an. It is a part of the Emperor Zulong's natal soul card "Zhulong". Ren Zheng who possesses Zhu is like a fish in water in the real dragon's death place and there is almost no danger.
But, it was only almost, Ren Zheng could not be completely safe.
Once a mythical soul card selects a user, it cannot be changed within a short period of time, otherwise the soul card will be damaged.
Therefore, after Ren Zheng submitted his application to the association and it was rejected, he could only sit alone in the room, hoping that Yu Cang's parents would send him another message.
This wait lasted for five years.
Until today, he finally got his wish.
…
This is also the reason why Yu Cang made the first request.
He hoped more than anyone else that his parents could be found and return safely, but at the same time he also understood.
Ren Zheng holds important national responsibilities and must clearly distinguish between public and private affairs.
My toothache is terrible. I will post the second chapter later.
