Chapter 64: Xishan Blood Palace
Western Hills.
The mountain peaks tower into the clouds, and the steep cliffs are like a huge barrier, blocking the world's sight. The number one killer pavilion in the world - Xueyou Palace, is built on the top of Xishan Mountain.
main hall.
The heavy door was pushed open, and a woman in black with a long scar on the right side of her face walked to the lower room with a gloomy face, bowed her head and reported respectfully:
"Young Palace Master, I have found out that you were injured a few days ago, and that it was Tu Zuoshi who was responsible. The person who paid a large sum of money to the Blood Nether Palace to buy his life was killed on the same day you were injured. Although it was handled cleanly and neatly, I still found some clues."
She took out a green crystal from her bosom, walked slowly to the platform and handed it over, and continued:
"This extremely cold and yin thing was once found by me in Tu Zuoshi's bedroom."
On the jade chair in the hall.
At this moment, a man in a black brocade robe was leaning against the wall.
He lazily reached out to take the thing handed over by his subordinate, squinted his eyes to look at it, and murmured in a low and hoarse voice:
"Tu Anmo? That's really nice——"
The scarred-faced woman swallowed nervously when she saw that although the Young Palace Master had a smile on his face, his whole body exuded a frightening, bloodthirsty and fierce aura.
He took out a token from his sleeve, handed it over with a trembling hand, and continued:
"Also, the person in charge of Xuanyun Pavilion just sent your token over, saying that according to what the woman said, 100,000 taels of gold were sent to Mingyue Tower."
The man in black brocade robe, Song Yuezhong, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He played with the token thoughtfully for a while, and said in a lazy and nonchalant voice:
"Did you ask that person's name?"
The scarred woman looked at Song Yuezhong in surprise, then lowered her head and muttered:
"No, I don't know."
After saying this, she cautiously glanced at Song Yuezhong and asked tentatively:
"Otherwise, I will go and find out more clearly."
Song Yuezhong frowned, and his originally cold eyes were like calm water surface, which suddenly rippled as if a stone was thrown into it.
He pursed his lips lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and remained silent for a while before slowly opening his eyes and saying in a cold tone:
"Need not."
You can find her around.
Song Yuezhong stuffed the token into his sleeve, then sneered, his eyes were like dark water, with a coldness hidden in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Go inform the Right Protector that the previous plan can be put into action, but you have to take your time. This time you must eradicate the problem completely."
Scarface looked solemn and nodded:
"Yes, I will do it right away."
——
Time flies and years pass by.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed and it is now May.
Tomorrow is a day off. As soon as Su Yuan walked out of the academy in the evening, he went straight to the Liuli Pavilion.
The reason is simple, today is Nan Chu's birthday.
As soon as Su Yuan walked into the store, a waiter came to greet her. She waved her hand and skipped the first floor to choose the more precious jewelry on the second floor.
Rare treasures are lined up in rows, each placed in a priceless glass counter, allowing everyone to see them at a glance.
The second sister next to him saw Su Yuan wandering around after coming in, and without asking, she leaned forward and whispered:
"Sir, what kind of item do you want? Tell me and I can recommend it to you."
Su Yuan glanced at the jewelry on the counter, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said:
"I'd like to ask you to take out this set of white jade jewelry for me. As for recommendations, I really need them. What kind of jewelry do men in their thirties usually wear?"
The second sister swallowed her saliva and hesitated to test:
"Do you want this complete set of jewelry? It includes a white jade hibiscus hairpin, a white jade fish ring, a white jade lotus pendant, and a pair of white jade earrings."
"If you don't buy all of them, we can't sell you any single piece of jewelry, and you can't take it out of the counter. Please forgive me, this is the store's rule."
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips, smiled faintly and nodded:
"Yes, I want the whole set. How much is it in total?"
A light suddenly lit up in the eyes of the second sister, and she said with joy:
"This set is the finest jewelry in the Glazed Pavilion. It is made entirely of glutinous rice white jade and costs two thousand three hundred taels of silver."
She glanced at Su Yuan anxiously, pursed her lips and said:
"I just don't know if you have enough silver. If you buy this set of white jade jewelry, you will get a 20% discount on all the items you choose later."
Finally, the second sister added:
"Of course, there is no discount for this set."
Su Yuan glanced around the counter casually. When he heard what the waiter said, he nodded slightly and said casually:
"Okay, come over here and introduce me to the others."
After getting the confirmation, the second sister ran over happily and introduced Su Yuan seriously.
Afterwards, Su Yuan bought two jade pendants and two hairpins for herself, and picked out two sets of daily jewelry for her father.
In total, he paid more than 3,900 silver coins, and walked back home in the night with the jewelry in his hand.
Su's house.
Su's father and Nan Chu were sitting in the main room waiting for Su Yuan.
Father Su saw Nan Chu's eyes were always looking out the door, and he curled his lips secretly and said soothingly:
"Don't worry, Yuanyuan is probably on her way back. Daddy is old enough to remember your birthday. He rushed to Tongcheng, so how could she not remember it?"
Nan Chu's cheeks felt slightly hot, and he lowered his head shyly, saying:
"I, I'm not here because of my birthday. Normally my wife would be home by this time, but now she hasn't come back yet, so I'm a little worried."
Just as Father Su was about to say something, he heard powerful footsteps outside. He stopped talking and pointed outside to Nan Chu, asking him to look.
Nan Chu blinked in confusion, raised his eyes and saw Su Yuan walking in carrying a wooden box.
He ran over excitedly, smiling and said:
"My dear wife, you are finally back."
Su Yuan put down the wooden box, curled his lips towards Nan Chu, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows to Su's father and said:
"Dad, when did you get home?"
Father Su had written to her before, saying that he would come over for Nan Chu's birthday, but unexpectedly he would be on time.
Father Su stared at his daughter, nodded with satisfaction, and said happily:
"I arrived at noon today. Nanchu brought Xiaoshi and the others to pick me up at the city gate!"
"This kid has been waiting there since before dawn this morning. Luckily I arrived at noon. It would have been terrible if I had been delayed."
Su Yuan turned to look at Nan Chu, shook his head helplessly, pursed his lips and said nothing more, then reached out to open the wooden box and smiled at Nan Chu:
"Come, today is your birthday. I just went to Liuli Pavilion and bought you a gift. Take a look and see if you like it."
After that, she waved to Father Su and said with a smile:
"Dad, you have a share too. I bought you two sets of jewelry to wear on a daily basis. Come and have a look."
