Mr. Zong nodded.
Zong Ruoning asked again: "Before that, why did the royal family have to be divided into nine parts and shared with our four major families?"
Elder Zong looked at Zong Ruoning and said with satisfaction, "You can think of this. You are worthy of being my chosen successor."
"There must be something fishy going on here."
"But unfortunately... the first patriarchs of the four great families all died young. They left behind the same last words, which were to find the lost family crest made of the material of the maze and the yellow spring."
"I guess the founding emperor of the Tantai Dynasty, Tantai Lin, also left the same last words."
Zong Ruoning was particularly surprised: "Could it be that the Imperial Seal and the four family seals disappeared at the same time?"
Elder Zong said, "...On this point, the other three family heads and I all guess this is the case."
"But we have no evidence."
"For some reason, our ancestors were equally secretive about this matter."
Zong Ruoning couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
He just wanted to ask Xia Chujian if she was the one who brought back the fragments of the Maze Yellow Spring.
Xia Chujian was summoned to the palace by the emperor time and again, and was subjected to lie detector tests and forced to confess using supernatural powers. What was he asking?
Now that he was reminded by Mr. Zong, he felt that it was most likely to get to the underworld.
When Xia Chu saw this silly student, he must have handed over the maze he had found...
It would be better to intercept it secretly yourself and be done with it.
Zong Ruoning sighed in his heart and arranged for Old Master Zong to rest.
Although it was only a little after eight in the morning, Mr. Zong had just recovered from a serious illness and still needed more rest.
After Mr. Zong rested, Zong Ruoning sent Xia Chujian a video call invitation.
Zong has also developed its own quantum communication encryption mode.
When two people are talking on the phone, there is absolutely no possibility of hackers eavesdropping on the conversation over the Internet.
Of course, if there were more people around when Xia Chujian was talking to him, it would be impossible to prevent it.
So after the video call was connected, Zong Ruoning specifically asked, "First meeting, is it convenient for us to talk alone? It would be best if we find a place where no one will disturb us."
Xia Chujian understood: "Please wait a moment."
She started out in the living room downstairs and now went upstairs to her bedroom.
After closing the door, Xia Chujian said, "There's no one here now, just say whatever you want to say."
While waiting, Zong Ruoning's thoughts gradually calmed down.
He also changed the way he spoke.
Seeing Xia Chujian appear on the virtual display, Zong Ruoning said, "Chujian, I want to tell you about the maze of Huangquan."
Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat.
She had never expected that Zong Ruoning was going to talk about the maze of the underworld...
She looked puzzled and said, "Didn't you find the Yellow Spring on Green Star?"
Zong Ruoning said, "I'm not as lucky as others. I heard someone found it, but it wasn't me."
Xia Chujian spread his hands regretfully: "That's such a pity."
"Do you have any new clues about the maze?"
Zong Ruoning said, "No, I just got some news and I thought you should know."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher Zong, the information you know is not something someone of my level should know."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need to..."
Xia Chujian had just finished saying that it was not necessary when Zong Ruoning interrupted her: "Don't you want to know why the emperor must use all kinds of means to force you to confess and get more information about what is behind that door?"
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
She wanted to, really wanted to!
Xia Chujian immediately said bluntly: "Yes, I do want to know."
"Although I can't remember what happened behind the door, I must know why that person cares so much about it!"
"I almost died"!
Zong Ruoning nodded: "I know, so after I knew the news, I planned to tell you."
After a pause, he said a little embarrassedly: "But this news is only circulated between the emperor and the heirs of the four noble titles."
"My grandfather told me that this was already an exception."
"I hope you won't tell anyone else."
Xia Chujian nodded solemnly: "I guarantee it with my life."
Really, I won’t even tell my aunt.
But Jiuxiang is an exception, but Jiuxiang is not a human...
Xia Chujian thought with peace of mind, besides, the real owner of the Mi Jin Huang Quan was Xiao Jiuxiang.
It should be reasonable to share the behind-the-scenes information of a topic with the topic owner, right?
Xia Chujian looked at Zong Ruoning quietly.
Zong Ruoning coughed lightly and said, "I heard that ten thousand years ago, the Maze Yellow Spring was actually a single piece."
"Then the founding emperor of the Tantai Dynasty, Tantai Lin, divided it into nine parts."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
Is this how the nine pieces of Majin Huangquan came about?!
Xia Chujian felt that she needed to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Xiao Jiuxiang!
Zong Ruoning looked at Xia Chujian's eyes which suddenly widened, and felt a little amused.
He continued slowly, "Tan Tai Lin gave four of the pieces to four great nobles to be cast into family seals."
"The remaining five pieces were combined to form the Imperial Seal."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
So exciting?!
The Imperial Seal has even come out...
When Xia Chujian thought that the "Imperial Seal" was in his own home, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Her expression gradually relaxed and she looked at Zong Ruoning with a smile.
