Moonlight and wind

"Where has Shan Zimo been these past two days, and who has he met?" In the main hall of Yunqi Longxiong, Yun Zhenyu sat on his armchair and blew on the teacup in his hand.

"Master," a Lancui disciple stood below, "Young Master Shan has been wandering around Hailan City these past two days. In addition to the people he brought with him, he also met the young master of the Blue Sea Shipbuilding Workshop. He must be an old acquaintance from the Northern Country."

"But the shipbuilding workshop of the Wu family?"

"That's right! Now the two of them are drinking and having fun with the top star Qin Youyou in Haiyue Pavilion!"

“Humph, his foundation is still too shallow!” Yun Zhenyu sneered, “What can a sect that has been around for decades expect him to achieve!”

"There is one more thing. Young Master Shan has been looking for a way to join the Yulan Chamber of Commerce."

"I know about this. I'm afraid he has other purposes in insisting on joining the Yulan Chamber of Commerce!" Yun Zhenyu squinted his eyes and looked outside the door.

"Young Master Shan dives at the pier every day, seemingly looking for something."

"Humph, one of the purposes of his trip is to learn the Deep Sea Dragon Breathing Technique, but with his swimming ability, I'm afraid he can't even find the cave on the seabed!" Yun Zhenyu was proud, "Not to mention sneaking into the cave, send more people and keep an eye on it!"

"Look! I'm receiving a gift from my sister just after we met!" Shan Zimo took Qin Youyou's black jade box and opened it. It was a bead with a shining surface. Shan Zimo took the bead in his hand and examined it carefully. "What's so special about this bead?"

"Since you want to go into the water, this is a rare treasure!" Qin Youyou pointed at the bead, "Young Master Shan dived into the seabed many times, is it for the Deep Sea Dragon Breathing Technique?"

"Sister is right!"

"This Deep Sea Dragon Breathing Technique is also one of the magic weapons of the Yunyin Sword Sect!" Qin Youyou said slowly, "The cultivation method and secrets are in the stone cave under the East China Sea Pier, but there are very few people who have learned this technique."

"What is the reason?"

"The problem lies in that stone cave!" Qin Youyou continued, "Diving is also a must-practice for the disciples of the Yunyin Sword Sect, but not to enter the cave to learn the Deep Sea Dragon Breathing Technique, but to protect the stone cave. Their disciples can walk underwater as if on flat ground and can hold their breath for a long time."

"Exactly! I saw two disciples walking on the seabed today!"

"This bead is the key to diving into the stone cave!" Qin Youyou smiled lightly, "Put this bead in your mouth and dive into the water to breathe freely! It can even break through the barrier at the entrance of the stone cave and enter the cave! That's why it's called the Breath-Holding Bead!"

"There is such a treasure? Where did my sister get such an important thing?" Shan Zimo became suspicious.

"Stolen!" Qin Youyou chuckled, "This breath-holding bead is only in the Yunyin Sword Sect, and there is only one!"

"So, my second uncle said that I need the help of Yunyin Sword Sect to learn the Deep Sea Dragon Breathing Technique, which means I need to borrow this bead from them?"

"Young Master Shan is right! Now it is in Young Master's hands!"

"Won't Yun Zhenyu find out about this?" Shan Boyu became worried.

"We'll send it back after use, what are you afraid of!" Qin Youyou was not worried at all.

"Why do I feel timid holding this bead?" Shan Zimo put the breath-holding bead back into the box. "How did you steal it? You won't leave any loopholes and get discovered, right?"

"No way! There is no chance that the Thief Saint will fail!" Qin Youyou smiled.

"The King of Thieves? Wu Fa and Wu Tian? They are here too?" Shan Zimo was a little surprised.

"He was there before, but now he has left Hailan City. I don't know where he went."

"How could they steal the Breath-Retaining Pearl for me?"

"It's not for you, they made a deal with Sister Yunfang, but Sister Yunfang is definitely for you!"

"It turns out that Miss Yunfang's connections are not as simple as they say!" Shan Zimo sighed, "Since the Zuo Xiang's power is so strong, do I have to stand on the Zuo Xiang's side to repay the favor I owe him?" Shan Zimo had an intriguing smile on his face.

"But Sister Yunfang asked me to tell the young master something." Qin Youyou leaned over, the front of her shirt loosened, revealing a touch of snow-white skin.

"Sister said!" Shan Zimo leaned back and avoided looking at places he shouldn't look at.

"Well," Qin Youyou pulled the collar of her shirt and chuckled, "Sister Yunfang's request to Young Master Dan must not be known to anyone else, not even the Prime Minister Zuo, so Young Master, please be careful!"

"Oh," Shan Zimo said meaningfully after hearing this, "Is this something that was done behind the back of the Left Prime Minister?"

“As for other matters, the less Young Master Shan knows, the better, but things must be done quickly.” Qin Youyou sat back in her chair, straightened her clothes, and sat up upright.

"It's my fault," Wu Haochen walked in from outside the private room just as he finished speaking, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Brother Shan!" At this time, Shan Zimo had already stuffed the small black jade box on the table into his sleeve.

Afterwards, Shan Zimo and Wu Haochen drank and talked happily, and Qin Youyou even played a song to cheer them up. It was not until late at night that Shan Zimo left Haiyue Pavilion with the help of Shan Boyu.

"Young Master, you've gone too far today!" Shan Boyu struggled to support the drunk Shan Zimo, muttering non-stop. Finally, they arrived at the north gate of Yunyin Sword Sect, and several Tianqing disciples hurried forward to help, and then they carried Shan Zimo back to Yuebin Hall.

"Ouch! Who did you drink with?" He saw Shan Zimo being carried in and shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that no one could hear him. Shan Zimo showed a barely perceptible smile. "Okay, leave the young master to us, and go back everyone!"

Shan Zimo was placed on the bed, and the Tianqing disciples left. They pushed Li out of the door and quickly closed it. Shan Zimo sat up from the bed!

"Of course!" Shan Zimo looked at him with a smile, "You actually saw that I was pretending to be drunk!"

"When I saw Young Master Shan just now, I felt your pulse and it was as steady as water. It doesn't look like you're drunk at all!" He shook his head smugly at a glance.

"It has to be you!" Shan Zimo gave Yijianhui a thumbs up. "I'm going to go out in a while, you guys cover for me!"

Shan Boyu was about to step forward to ask, but was stopped by Shan Zimo, "You are the most important. The Yunyin Sword Sect knows that you are always by my side. You must stay here tonight and cannot leave!"

"But..." Shan Boyu was about to say something, but was blocked by Shan Zimo again.

"That's it! Time is running out, success or failure depends on this!"

"Master, Young Master Shan has returned to Yuebin Hall drunk!"

"Send someone to keep a close eye on it! There can't be any mistakes!"

"Yes!"

"Ha! It's really a treasure!" Shan Zimo had already appeared in front of the stone cave under the East China Sea Pier!
