Duke Changping's Mansion
Shangguan Nanyi was currently in the dining room accompanying his mother Madam Shen for dinner. Shangguan Beiyi came over in a hurry, and the moment he entered the room, he heard his excited voice, ”Mother, Big Brother, the Fantasy Heart Stone has finally lit up.”
Hearing that the Fantasy Heart Stone was glowing, the white-clothed Shangguan Nanyi put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. ”Is this true?”
”Of course it's real. It's just that the light is a little weak, but we can already confirm that the Soul Absorbing Orb is in the Quanzhou and it's not too far away from us.”
”That's great, after so many years, we finally have news about the Soul Absorbing Orb.”
Shangguan Nanyi was truly happy, the joy in his eyes was obvious.
Hearing the Fantasy Heart Stone light up, Madam Shen did not get excited like the two brothers, but instead shook his head. After all these years, this child was still as persistent as ever.
”Let's talk about this later, eat first, the food will become cold later, Bei Yi, you sit down and eat too.”
After that, the Madam Shen ordered the servant girl to get a set of utensils.
Shangguan Nanyi was all focused on this matter and he was no longer in the mood to eat. He continued to ask, ”When did the Fantasy Heart Stone start to shine?”
Today, I also went to the warehouse to retrieve something and accidentally saw it emitting light. A few days ago, I went to the warehouse too, and at that time, the Fantasy Heart Stone was still not glowing. It should have been in the past few days.
Although the Fantasy Heart Stone was shining, with such a large Quanzhou, there were a lot of people entering and exiting every day. It would be difficult to find it even if they wanted to, so it was impossible to determine where the Soul Absorbing Orb was.
”Alright, let's eat first.”
Seeing that the two of them were preoccupied with this matter, Madam Shen's expression became solemn, and his tone became even more serious.
Shangguan Beiyi immediately forced a smile and coaxed her, ”Okay, okay, I will listen to mother. Brother, let's eat first, we can talk about this later.”
Shangguan Nanyi lost all appetite, he only ate a few bites, and did not touch the chopsticks again.
Seeing this, Madam Shen did not have the mind to continue eating, ”Nanyi, so many people in the world wanted to obtain the Soul Absorbing Orb, this thing is a scourge, I'm afraid it will bring about disasters to the Duke Changping's Mansion, from what I see, the Fantasy Heart Stone should be thrown away, it is useless for us to keep it.”
”Mother, there are only three Fantasy Heart Stone in the world. One of them is in our hands, while the other one is in Big Brother's hands.” Mother, there are only three Fantasy Heart Stone in the world, and we have one in our hands.
Shangguan Beiyi explained while grinning.
Madam Shen glared at Shangguan Beiyi, ”You talk too much.”
”Ahem, I didn't say anything.”
Shangguan Beiyi continued to eat with his head lowered.
”Mother, the Soul Absorbing Orb is related to the Grand Princess. We must find the Soul Absorbing Orb.”
”The Eldest Princess has already been dead for ten years, why do you have to keep it in your heart?”
”With Soul Absorbing Orb here, I believe the First Princess is still alive.”
Shangguan Nanyi's tone was stubborn. In these ten years, he had never given up searching for the location of the Soul Absorbing Orb. How could he not be excited when he found the news of the Soul Absorbing Orb with great difficulty.
The Madam Shen let out a heavy sigh, ”Nanyi, you are now a Marquis of Changping, so the honor and disgrace of the House of the Marquis is all on you. You should take the House of the Marquis as your first priority.
