Chapter 9: Coming of Age Ceremony
"At the beginning of next month, Dajue Temple will hold a Buddhist meeting. At that time, I will take you to find Yin Ling." Wen Yingxue said to Nie Chubai.
Next month’s Buddhist meeting will be very grand, and all the prominent people in the capital will go with their families.
The original text mentioned that the hero and heroine met here, and then the heroine was framed by her elder sister, and accidentally fell off the cliff at the back of Dajue Temple with the hero who was involved.
Afterwards, they entered the water and came to a secret entrance with a stalactite cave, where they found a skeleton.
And the Yin Order is in Bai Gu's hands.
Nie Chubai straightened up slightly, smiling brightly, revealing a pair of fangs. His cold hands slowly stroked Wen Yingxue's fair face: "Xue'er, you'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, you look so beautiful, I really can't bear to peel your skin off."
Looking at Nie Chubai's smiling face, Wen Yingxue knew that what he said was true.
The more beautiful the boss's smile is, the more murderous intent he has in his heart. He is really crazy!
"Yes! I am very grateful. You helped me, so I will definitely help you get the Yin Order."
Nie Chubai hummed, picked up a strand of Wen Yingxue's hair and played with it in his hand. He leaned his handsome face closer to Wen Yingxue, his breath spraying on her face, and said ambiguously, "Then I'm curious, Xue'er, how did you know I wanted the Yin Order?"
Wen Yingxue tried to lean back, hoping to create some distance between herself and the villain. She was so close that she was afraid he would bite her to death.
"You work hard for the emperor. The Yin Ling has disappeared for a long time. I'm sure everyone wants to get it."
The founding emperor of Dazhao once made two tokens, one yang token and one yin token.
Yang Ling can command an elite royal guard, while Yin Ling can command the secret guards. These are the royal secret forces with strong strength.
These secret guards are all death warriors with great martial arts skills, and they hold confidential information that is very important to the emperor.
However, during the reign of the late emperor, the secret order was accidentally lost. The secret guards only recognized the tokens and not the people. Therefore, the late emperor lost the great help of the secret guards.
Until the current emperor ascended the throne, he has been in power for more than 30 years and has been searching for the Yin Ling, but he has never found it.
The heroine Lin Youwan and Ye Junyan found the Yin Order together and gave it to the Fifth Prince, which enabled the Fifth Prince to finally ascend the throne and become the next new emperor.
The eighth prince, who was supported by the villain, was one step behind and was defeated and beheaded.
If Nie Chubai gets the Yin Order this time, the ownership of the throne may change.
"Then how do you know the whereabouts of Yin Ling?" Wen Yingxue was thinking about the things in the book, and Nie Chubai's voice brought her back to reality.
Wen Yingxue looked straight at Nie Chubai. How should she answer this question?
However, Wen Yingxue knew that if she lied, she would not be able to deceive Nie Chubai.
"I can't say that." Wen Yingxue said.
Nie Chubai narrowed his eyes and smiled even brighter: "I understand! Everyone has secrets. So who else knows about this?"
"Now I'm the only one who knows."
"Now?" Nie Chubai asked in a dangerous tone.
Wen Yingxue scratched her head. It was true that she was the only one who knew about it now, but she couldn’t resist the aura of the protagonist!
"Anyway, I'm the only one who knows it now, but it may not be the case when you go to get it. You should bring more people with you." Wen Yingxue said. At worst, she could just snatch the Yin Ling from Lin Youwan and Ye Junyan.
Nie Chubai frowned, let go of Wen Yingxue, looked at her disheveled clothes, and reached out to help her pull them up.
A cold touch came from her collarbone, and Wen Yingxue shivered.
"It's already known to everyone that I want to marry you. If I hadn't obtained the Yin Order, I wouldn't mind being a widower."
Nie Chubai left, and Wen Yingxue was paralyzed with fear.
Sure enough, the villain is much more difficult to deal with than the male protagonist.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was March 26th. It was only a few days away from April, and everyone in the Wen family began to get busy.
It was not because she was going to attend a Buddhist meeting, but because Wenrouqing was going to hold her coming-of-age ceremony.
Wen Rouqing, Wen Yuyan, and Wen Yingxue have birthdays only a few months apart, and all of them will hold their coming-of-age ceremonies this year.
It was a lively day. Father Wen held a high official position, and Zhang's father was a high-ranking official, Zhang Gelao. Therefore, as the legitimate daughter of the emperor, Wen Rouqing's coming-of-age ceremony was extremely grand.
"As expected of a legitimate daughter, her coming-of-age ceremony is grand. I wonder if I can have half of this when I come of age," Wen Yuyan said enviously as she sat next to Wen Yingxue. She kept glancing at Wen Yingxue from the corner of her eyes.
Wen Yingxue smiled and said, "Everyone in the family knows that Fifth Sister is the one Dad loves the most. I don't think he will treat her unfairly."
Wenrouqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, snorted, and ignored Wen Yingxue.
In fact, Wen Yuyan is not a bad person, she is just a little vain and likes to compare with others. Anyway, she has never thought of harming Wen Yingxue. At most, she just makes fun of her because of her beauty.
Wenrouqing's coming-of-age ceremony ended quickly and everyone started to go to the inner courtyard.
"Miss, Aunt Lian just sent someone to tell you to go to her yard." Ai Ye was supporting Wen Yingxue as she followed the large group to the flower hall for receiving guests when Qinglian ran over and said.
Wen Yingxue frowned. Aunt Lian rarely called her over, let alone at such an important time. Something must have happened.
Thinking of this, Wen Yingxue could no longer sit still and immediately went to Aunt Lian's yard.
Wen Yingxue was running all the way and almost ran away with her skirt lifted up. She had just had a falling out with Zhang and Wen Rouqing in the past few days. She was really afraid that the mother and daughter would be desperate and do something bad to Aunt Lian.
Qinglian looked at Wen Yingxue and sneered.
Xuemei Courtyard and Aunt Lian's courtyard are next door, but both of them live in relatively remote areas and have to pass through several uninhabited courtyards.
Wen Yingxue and Ai Ye were walking when someone suddenly covered their mouths and dragged them into an empty yard.
Wen Yingxue struggled with her eyes wide open, but she couldn't break free. She could only look at Qinglian's smug smile, and then she was dragged into the house.
I was careless, thinking that Zhang's mother and daughter were targeting Concubine Lian, but I didn't expect it was her. As expected, people cannot have weaknesses, and worrying will lead to chaos.
Wen Yingxue felt her butt hurt after being thrown onto the bed with great force.
Just as she was about to struggle to get up, a burly man pinned Wen Yingxue down.
"Hehe! Miss Six, I'm sorry for taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters." As she said this, she exerted force with both hands, and Wen Yingxue's outer shirt was torn.
Zhang's mother and daughter are so vicious that they actually let people insult her!
Wen Yingxue struggled hard and kicked the man in the crotch. The kick was very effective! The man screamed and fell to the side.
"I'm sorry, you big-headed ghost!" Wen Yingxue cursed, turned around and ran, but was pulled back by the man.
"You bitch! I'll kill you!"
Veins bulged on the man's forehead as he gripped Wen Yingxue's neck tightly. His strength was so great that Wen Yingxue soon felt like death was beckoning to her.
Just when he thought he was going to die, the man suddenly stiffened, let go of Wen Yingxue, and fell to the side.
