Chapter 87 Spirit Orb Stolen
Ci Yuan disappeared out of thin air. Since he was going to his old house, it seemed that a fight with the Sixth Grand Duke was inevitable.
In fact, looking at his state just now, I think this might be better, at least to vent the negative emotions.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time he fought with the Sixth Grand Duke. They couldn't even call it a fight, but a competition of martial arts.
Of course, after he calms down after the fight, I still have to apologize to him. He is the master of Sen Zai after all, so I have to give him face.
Shortly after he left, I finished eating and was about to go to my old house. Since I didn't have a driver's license, I called a driver to come and drive for me.
When I arrived at the old house with Sen Zai and You Baobao, the Sixth Grandfather and Ci Yuan were not at home. I guess I came too quickly and they hadn't finished the fight yet.
I went to my room to rest first, and I felt like I was going home. After all, this room has only been for me since I was born.
It was almost dusk before the Sixth Grand Duke and Ci Yuan came back. One of them had a colorful face, and the other demon's clothes were messy, which showed the brutality of the battle.
I immediately went out to greet him with a smile, and greeted the Sixth Grand Duke before asking Ci Yuan, "How are you? Have you calmed down?"
Ci Yuan didn't even look at me, and walked directly past me to the study. It seemed that he was still angry with me. He was really petty.
The Sixth Grandfather touched the wound on his face and said, "This old demon was so angry today that his attack was insignificant. Fortunately, I resisted the beating."
I didn't feel sorry for him, but instead teased him, "Don't you have a lot of grudges against him? It's a good time to vent your anger, as long as you can fight him."
The Sixth Grand Duke refused to admit defeat, "How do you think he is any better than me? He just knows how to hide and didn't let me hit him in the face. Let's get down to business."
It seemed that Ci Yuan had mentioned to him about meeting my mother last night, so I didn’t say anything more and hurriedly followed him in two steps and entered the study together.
In the study, Ci Yuan has already sat down, and he is still sitting behind the desk, where the Sixth Grand Duke usually sits. Isn't this enough?
I was afraid that they would start fighting again, but I didn't dare to offend Ci Yuan, so I could only advise the Sixth Grand Duke, "Grandpa, we have something serious to say, so let's not worry about this, right?"
The Sixth Grand Duke randomly found a chair and sat down, "Don't worry, I'm not as narrow-minded as him. Sit down and let's talk about your mother in detail first."
Ci Yuan's face immediately darkened, but fortunately he didn't get angry. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell the story of catching the black cat and meeting my mother last night.
I guessed that Yi Ciyuan's temperament must have only mentioned a few words with anger. Moreover, the Sixth Grand Duke also asked me to be specific, so I tried to be as detailed as possible.
"Qingcheng Qingshan Town?" The Sixth Grand Duke interrupted me, "If I remember correctly, that is the old residence of the Shu family, and the old man of the Shu family lives there now."
Naturally, he would not mention the Shu family for no reason. The first thing I thought of was my mother, "Does Grandpa suspect that my mother is really related to the Shu family?"
The Sixth Grand Duke looked at me with a gentle expression, "Isn't this your previous guess? You suspect that Shu Wan is the tool for your mother Jin Chan to escape from her shell."
I nodded, "Indeed, since the Shu family is in Shengshan Town, there is some evidence, so I will continue."
When I mentioned that Ci Yuan did not stop my mother and she caught up with her again, the Sixth Grand Duke gave Ci Yuan a disgusted look.
The look in his eyes showed that he would definitely have nothing nice to say next, "You can't even handle a woman, so you dare to show off your power in front of me."
Ci Yuan supported his head with his hands and leaned his elbows on the armrests, "If it weren't for business, do you think I would let you go so quickly?"
I was afraid that he would suffer a loss in the future, so I reminded him urgently, "Grandpa, my mother is really powerful, you must not underestimate the enemy!"
The Sixth Grandfather smiled at me and said, "I know, go ahead and talk. I'll try not to interrupt, so as not to kill some old demon."
He said this, but when I mentioned the deep hatred between my mother and Ci Yuan, he couldn't help but interrupt me.
He glared at Ci Yuan, "It turns out it was you who did the good deed. At first, I blamed the Shen family, but in the end it was you who caused us trouble."
Ci Yuan was a bit arrogant, "Even if the incident happened because of me, it was you who gave her a chance. Otherwise, why not find someone else?"
The Sixth Grand Duke pointed at Ci Yuan and shouted, "You are so shameless. The dignified Jiaolong has no sense of responsibility at all. You are worse than Luan Yatou, a little girl."
It was too difficult for me, and I had to break up the fight, "Grandpa, he doesn't want this either, and I'm not as good as you say, so why don't we just talk about the business?"
Later, the Sixth Grandfather did not interrupt me again, and waited until I finished speaking before angrily slapping the armrest, "She is too inhumane."
I quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, don't get excited. I'm fine. But you must be extra careful when you meet her in the future."
The Sixth Grand Duke sighed, "Hey... luckily you are fine, otherwise our Shen family would be even more sorry for you. You have sacrificed so much at such a young age."
Because I spoke in too much detail and took a lot of time, Ci Yuan was obviously impatient, so I stopped talking politely to the Sixth Grand Duke.
I went straight to the point, "I thought of a question after I escaped from danger. What is the purpose of my mother marrying into the Shen family? Isn't it just to give birth to me?"
The Sixth Grand Duke nodded, "If you just want to plant poison on the sacrifices, you don't need to go out of your way to give birth to a child. You can just do some tricks on the sacrifices."
I tentatively asked him, "So I'm thinking, since she knows about the Shen family's sacrifices, does she also know other secrets? For example...spirit beads?"
This is what I thought of on the way here. After all, Ci Yuan has survived the Tribulation Dragon. Even if he fails unexpectedly, he is still a powerful monster and not so easy to deal with.
If my mother could really beat Ci Yuan, there would be no need to trick him with a poison on me, why not just beat him to the ground? So obviously she couldn't beat him.
Since you are outmatched in terms of strength, you can think of other methods, such as conspiracy and calculation, or the powerful magic weapon - the Nuwa Spirit Pearl of the Shen family.
"Lingzhu?" Ci Yuan looked at me quickly, "You mean, your mother's real purpose in marrying into the Shen family was to get the Lingzhu?"
I nodded, "I had this suspicion, but I didn't think about it. After all, it was an accident last night and I didn't have time to think about it."
"Luanyatou, you..." The Sixth Grand Duke sighed heavily, "You are so much smarter than your useless father."
Ci Yuan became anxious, and Huoran sat up straight, "Old man, what do you mean? Is it true that the spirit bead was taken away by that witch?"
The Sixth Grand Duke looked ugly, "I'm not sure if it's her, but the spirit pearl was indeed stolen during the years when Bai Huan married into the Shen family."
My guess was that my mother originally wanted to get the Lingzhu. I didn't expect that the Lingzhu had been stolen. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.
Ci Yuan was more concerned than us, "Your Shen family has become so incompetent? You can't even protect such an important treasure as Nuwa's Lingzhu!"
