C133 Truth (1/2)

The moment the woolen parchment was in his hands, Qin Shaojie's pupils also continuously turned, all of his attention being placed on it.

Logically speaking, this piece of parchment must have been seen by Qin Mai many times. He probably wouldn't have been able to find any clues. But Qin Shaojie did not think so, the parchment was something unique to the upper echelons of Japanese Empire, although it was not considered to be extremely precious, ordinary people could not afford to use it. It was already unusual for a piece of parchment to suddenly appear in Qin Zhu's manor, furthermore it was completely empty.

”Whether it's water, fire, or the sun, I've tried them all. It's just an ordinary piece of parchment, nothing more.”

Seeing Qin Shaojie's expression, Qin Mai was sure what he was thinking, but he waved his hand. If he could find any clues from the higher-ups, he wouldn't be so anxious and passive.

”There must be something inside this parchment paper.”

However, after rubbing it for a while, Qin Shaojie revealed a cold sneer on his face. This seemingly ordinary parchment paper was just as he had imagined it to be. There was indeed a hidden mystery within it.

Qin Shaojie's words also caused Qin Mai to be stunned, and his expression immediately changed. It was clear that he couldn't believe that Qin Shaojie was able to detect the secret within with just a few touch.

Qin Shaojie did not say much about this. He was not a person of his generation, in his eyes, if he wanted to use some tricks ….. Although the Japanese Empire seemed to have some hidden methods, it was not enough for Qin Shaojie to see through it.

The problem was that the goatskin was too soft for the naked eye. It was softer than normal goatskin, and it was also heavier. It was much more severely injured than the usual goatskin of this size. The most likely reason for this situation was that someone had set up a small-scaled formation inside.

The formation was hidden within the parchment. Unless the formation was activated, no one would be able to detect anything abnormal about it.

As for the reason why he was certain that this was an array, it was only because Qin Shaojie had an extraordinary intuition. He quietly released some of his own consciousness, but discovered that it could not actually penetrate the parchment.

In this situation, the only explanation left was the formation.

”I would actually like to see what exactly is hidden in there.”

With that, Qin Shaojie's hand seals changed, and after closing his eyes, his consciousness had also spread out and completely wrapped around the parchment. Based on the principles of Genuine Force, it was impossible for one to possess consciousness, even if one's consciousness was at the peak of the Three Spiritual Realms, it would still not be considered strong.

Therefore, this was the reason why he was able to discover the secret of the parchment while Qin Mai was unable to.

Found it!

This piece of parchment was a problem with formations. To know the secrets within, one needed to find the core of the formations. The core of formations was where one's own soul consciousness found the most difficult to penetrate.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze fell onto a spot at the very center of the parchment, an inch to the right. That place might seem to be a patch of furry hair, but if one was especially attentive, one would discover that the slight troubles on this furry piece of parchment were of different lengths and sizes.

”Here's your first drop of blood.”

Pointing at that spot, Qin Shaojie said with a deep voice. There was no room for doubt in his tone. Although Qin Mai did not understand why, he did not hesitate when he saw this. He pressed down on his fingertips and allowed the fresh blood to drip down.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After Qin Mai's blood dripped onto the place that Qin Shaojie had pointed out, a string of extremely faint buzzing sounds could be heard. Qin Mai was stunned when he heard the sounds, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.

However, Qin Mai was no fool. When he sensed this voice, although it was extremely soft, he still flicked his finger and shot out a red pill. It immediately exploded, forming a glaring light that disappeared in front of their eyes.

This was Qin Mai's unique method of informing his subordinates. Once they saw these lights, the entire manor would enter a state of alert and the experts would secretly protect them.

Qin Shaojie nodded at Qin Mai's actions. No matter what, caution was not a bad thing.

After which, Qin Mai once again set his gaze on the parchment. After a buzzing sound, a few spots of light appeared on the parchment.

In the instant that he appeared, a few words suddenly appeared on the parchment paper.

”Remnant, the title of Emperor of the Great Yan!”

A mere eight words, flashing in front of Qin Shaojie and Qin Mai, then slowly disappeared!

However, these eight words caused the expressions of Qin Shaojie and Qin Mai to become completely serious. None of them were fools, so they naturally understood the meaning of these words. The so called namelist, could only refer to the placings that were about to appear in the ancient ruins of the Holy Flame Academy. And the Great Yan Emperor's position was even more obvious, this was clearly the position of the Great Yan Dynasty!

The meaning of these words was too profound.
