Chapter 725 Nothing

Ye Wenyan said: "I didn't deal with the Ye family, I just thought the process was ridiculous. When I first arrived in Ping County, maybe because of Xiushan County, I felt that Ping County was a good place, from the county magistrate to the people, everyone was in harmony. When I first entered the Ye Mansion, maybe because of the Jiang family, I felt that the Ye family was really good, and the old lady Jiang was also sincere.

I didn't expect that they had made such a big deal without telling me.

But Shi Liyuan, you are right. What they did is their business. For me, the Ye family's affairs are over. I have fulfilled all the promises I made to Fourth Miss Ye. As for how things continue to go on, that is their own business.

"I have never been a weak-willed person in my past and present lives. Even if I want to hold a grudge, I should hold it against my Xuanmai Ye family, not the Beiqi Ye family. I shouldn't have been trapped in the Ye family for more than half a year and made myself look like a grudge. This situation needs to change, and my mentality needs to change, otherwise I will be laughed at by Ah Heng and the others when I meet them!"

When she said this, she glanced at Feng Zhaolian, who immediately said, "I won't laugh at you, as long as you change." Then she handed the melon seeds in her hand forward, "Want to eat? These are snacks given by the little devil, and they smell pretty good."

She wanted to say she didn't want to eat it, but then she thought that if she didn't eat it, it would mean that she was still angry, so she reached out and grabbed a handful, chewed for a while, and said, "It's really delicious. I'll turn over all the food that the Ye family gave me later. The road ahead is long, and it would be too boring without some snacks."

The two girls began to eat as if no one was around. Shi Liyuan closed his eyes to gather his spiritual power, while Quan Qinghua recalled what Ye Wenyan had told him, about the unknown things about General Ye Jinggui at the border.

He had to admit that Ye Wenyan played a key role in his escape from the prison. The stories she told him about Ye Jinggui really made him feel at that moment that he was not the only one suffering in this world.

So he tried his best to help Ye Wenyan. After knowing that the jewelry in Chiyun City was recognized, he followed in person. Even with the Emperor, he hoped that he could protect Ye Wenyan. But he didn't expect that so many things would happen before he had walked far. He also didn't expect that his relationship with Feng Zhaolian would also have important changes.

He saw and heard the scene just now clearly. The great-great-grandson of the Ye family was not a great-great-grandson at all, but the son of General Ye Jinggui and his concubine, and he was Ye Wenyan's biological brother. The whole family of the Ye family in Ping County lied to Ye Wenyan in order to preserve the bloodline of the Ye family and to let the child recognize his ancestors.

The child was certainly not wrong, but what the Ye family in Ping County did was really cruel to Ye Wenyan and the first-rank general's mansion in the capital.

He thought about these things randomly, and also remembered the day when he buried Concubine Li and Yunsheng, remembered that he forged the letter between General Guiyue and Quan Qingyun, and remembered his revenge that he had been planning for these years. Now it all seemed like a joke.

Fortunately, just as the Emperor said, the past is the past, they should all have a new life and look forward.

Feng Zhaolian and Ye Wenyan were still eating. They had finished the melon seeds long ago. They went through the snacks prepared by the Ye family in Ping County one by one. They kept the ones they liked for themselves, and fed the ones they didn't like to eat to make themselves full.

Guan Bao was really full this time. When Feng Zhaolian opened its mouth to stuff snacks in, Guan Bao retched and almost vomited. Feng Zhaolian hid far away, fearing that the old turtle would vomit on her again and again.

"Young Master, it won't rain too hard today, so your spiritual power should be usable. Can you take me back?" Guan Bao discussed with Ye Wenyan, "I really miss that storage space full of flowers."

Ye Wenyan glanced at it sideways, "Miss my storage space? Guan Bao, you are not telling the truth." Guan Bao looked at Feng Zhaolian helplessly, "To be honest, this woman is almost killing me, please save me quickly."

Feng Zhaolian snorted, "I give you food and drink, and you say I abuse you? You are too heartless. I have never raised an animal in my past life. You are my first. You should feel honored for this."

Guan Bao thought, am I honored? This is simply my misfortune! But he couldn't say it directly, so he had to change it to another way of saying: "I am the master's spiritual pet, not yours, so you should return me to my master."

"Isn't your master right here? I'm not taking you hostage. I'm just feeding you. If you don't want to eat, just tell me. Don't act like I did something to you. I have a bad temper. If you keep hesitating, I'll stew you."

Guan Bao was furious. "Why do you always want to stew me? Shi Liyuan wanted to stew me, his wife wanted to stew me, and now you want to stew me too. What's wrong with all of you?" After saying that, he looked at Quan Qinghua again. Seeing that he had not participated, he felt that he was definitely a good person, so he asked him for help. "Help me, just like I helped you in the dilapidated temple. Speak a few fair words for me."

Quan Qinghua took a look at it and said something very fair: "Maybe it's because the Ye family prepared some snacks without meat, so they wanted to stew you. I think this is normal."

"Is it normal?" Guan Bao was so angry, what's wrong with this world? If such a person is normal, then what is abnormal? Does turtle sashimi have to be abnormal?

Feng Zhaolian and Guan Bao started fighting. I bumped into you and you kicked me. Ye Wenyan was annoyed and took Guan Bao back directly. Feng Zhaolian was still shouting for it to come out again, but Quan Qinghua was already talking to Ye Wenyan - "The Xuanmai Jewelry made a total of 100 keys, and I suppressed them all. They are still stranded in the capital. Consider whether to continue to sell them or keep them in the capital for the time being. I must remind you of this. Once the key is sold, the matter will be brought up again. At that time, there will be disputes in the martial arts world, and even other countries will covet it. Although this legend has been around for the past two years, no one has seen the real thing after all, and even the first person who released the news can't be found. People only heard the legend of the treasure key and can describe the appearance of the key, but no one can say who has seen the thing with their own eyes. Without the real thing, coveting is just coveting. Once you see the real thing, coveting will definitely turn into snatching. And not only people in the martial arts world want to seize it, not only the ambitious forces in Northern Qi want to seize it, but other countries also want to seize it."

When Feng Zhaolian heard him talking about serious matters, she stopped worrying about food and started thinking about the legendary treasure instead.

She asked: "Do you think there is really a treasure?"

Quan Qinghua shook his head, "I don't know."

"You didn't send anyone to investigate?"

"Why would I investigate it?" Quan Qinghua smiled helplessly. "First, I don't want to dominate the martial arts world, second, I don't want to usurp the throne, and third, I don't want to rebel. Now that I have a treasure, what should I do with it?"

"That's right." Feng Zhaolian pondered for a while and said, "What if the treasure is fictitious? Once the rumor is broken, will some people be unable to bear the blow?" She remembered that there was once a dragon vein treasure in Qianzhou. So many people fought for the treasure all their lives. But when their dreams were shattered and the treasure was lost, some people actually committed suicide on the spot and ended their lives.

However, it is not necessarily the case that the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty were the same, because the legend of the treasure has only arisen in recent years, and the time is still short, so the impact is not profound.

Quan Qinghua was waiting for Ye Wenyan's decision, and at the same time he expressed another point of view: "In fact, releasing it is also a solution. If there are too many of them, they will be everywhere, and the rumors will be broken. But there must be a premise for doing so, that is - the treasure must be fake. Otherwise, if the treasure is real, the things we release will cause the major forces to scramble for them, which will not be conducive to us suppressing this matter. The court will have a hard time at that time."

Feng Zhaolian nodded, "Yes, it is very likely true. After all, nothing can come out of nowhere."

Ye Wenyan frowned, "How can it be true? That thing is just a piece of jewelry, not a key at all. Feng Zhaolian, don't tell me you haven't seen something similar at Ah Heng's place."

"I have seen similar things." Feng Zhaolian answered honestly, "Like the things you wore at the palace banquet, I have seen some of them, and Ah Heng has worn them too. But this does not prove that the key in the legend must be the one you think of as jewelry."

Shi Liyuan opened his eyes and made a decision for Ye Wenyan: "Hold it first, don't let it out. Of course, things are valuable because they are rare. If they are everywhere, the rumors will be broken. But I suddenly remembered something. It seems that hundreds of years ago, there was also a legend about treasure. It is said that in a corner of this continent, there are a batch of rare treasures, which are more valuable than every country on this continent. But at that time, the spiritual cultivators were still there, so who would care about the treasures of mortals? Later, the world changed drastically, and people couldn't even take care of their lives, so naturally no one remembered those worldly things anymore."

"So what you mean is that the legend may not be groundless?" Ye Wenyan took out the key that Quan Qinghua brought out from the capital, "This thing is really just a piece of jewelry. Anyone can own it as long as they are willing to spend money. But if you say that maybe the key in the rumor is not like this, then it is possible. In this case, let's keep it for now. We have to pass through most of Northern Qi on this trip, so we can also listen to the wind."

Ye Wenyan laughed after she finished speaking. She still thought that treasure was bullshit. Wasn't it written in those TV dramas and martial arts novels she watched in her previous life? There was a treasure in almost every novel, and most of the disputes in the martial arts world were caused by a treasure map. She always thought it was a fictional thing, but she didn't expect that she would actually encounter it in real life.

I just don't know if the legend of the treasure just happened to intersect with her by chance and then they will pass by each other, or if it has a deep connection and will always be tied to her...
