Dongfang Chen heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that master would not make a move against him for the time being, thus he agreed and left.

On the other side, Nalan Rongxuan also welcomed a customer that he expected. The reason he expected this was because Nalan Rongxuan already knew that this person would definitely appear, and of course, it was a lot later than he expected.

”King Xuan doesn't seem to be surprised at all.” The old woman smiled, as if he wanted to show a benevolent expression. Unfortunately, his face was too tense, so when he smiled, it was better to not smile at Ci Xiang.

Nalan Rongxuan elegantly took a sip of the tea in his hand, and lightly said: ”One of the eight great Protector Elders of the Southern Frontier Shaman Clan, Lu Siniang, who is known as the Iron Blood Granny, has not obtained what she wants, how could she give it up so easily?”

This old woman was the one who had once met Nalan Rongxuan, the old woman from Southern Frontier who had searched for the lost sacred artifact in Imperial Concubine Wan's room.

”King Xuan said so, could it be that you know the whereabouts of that thing?” A look of anticipation flashed across Lu Siniang's eyes.

Nalan Rongxuan shook his head elegantly. ”I think I will have to disappoint you, but if you are willing to tell me what's inside, it might be easier to find clues.”

Lu Siniang was silent for a moment, before she finally said slowly, ”King Xuan, that is a sacred artifact of my clan, and it is not suitable for outsiders to follow. I came to find you for another reason, I want to work with King Xuan to find a person, a person that King Xuan is also looking for.”

Nalan Rongxuan squinted, he had a rough idea who she was looking for.

Back then, the great palace maid, Melilotus, who served your mufei was one of us and the only one who knew the truth. If King Xuan is able to help find her, we would be willing to thank her!

Nalan Rongxuan played with the teacup: ”What do you guys want to thank this king for?”

”How about the throne? Whatever they can do for King Rui, we can also do for King Xuan! ” Lu Siniang's voice was filled with certainty.

Nalan Rongxuan scoffed softly, ”Forget about the title of emperor, but this king is sure that Mussel is still alive. Besides that, this king knows nothing.”

Lu Siniang was a little surprised, ”King Xuan rejected?”

”It's not that we refuse, it's that we each rely on our own abilities.” Nalan Rongxuan put down the teacup and slowly raised his eyes.

A sharp light flashed through her eyes that were as deep as a lake, causing Lu Siniang's heart to tremble. Finally, she stood up: ”King Xuan, if you change your mind, you can contact me anytime.”

Nalan Rongxuan slightly reached out his hand, making a movement as if he was walking slowly.

”Was it someone from the Southern Frontier just now?” As soon as Lu Siniang left, Yue Luoxue walked in. Coincidentally, she also received news related to the Southern Frontier and Worm Poison Master.

Nalan Rongxuan nodded and stood up, then suddenly grabbed Yue Luoxue. Before Yue Luoxue could even ask, Nalan Rongxuan said: ”Enter the palace!”

Yue Luoxue remained silent. She had the same intention, the person in charge of observing Qiu Tang said that she seemed to have made an appointment tonight. If she was lucky, they might be able to find her.

Nalan Rongxuan skillfully avoided the palace guards and went straight to Imperial Concubine Wan's courtyard. His conversation earlier brought up some memories, he remembered that when he was young, he saw his mother making marks on the pillar behind the door.

It had already been many years, and those markings were already mottled, but it could still be vaguely seen. Nalan Rongxuan gently caressed them and curiously looked over, but his expression suddenly became strange …
