Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Unfaithful and fickle (2/2)
Gu Yang suddenly realized. Yes, the Dragon Washing Pond has the effect of complete transformation, which would be most suitable for curing Pei Qianlan’s injuries.
As for that Divine Power realm Lei Hao, he didn’t pose a significant problem.
He advised, “The Divine Sword that Shizi drew from the Sword Mountain possesses some mystic characteristics. Brother Wu, you should study it thoroughly, perhaps it could yield some rewards.”
King Jinghai glanced at him in surprise.
In fact, when he had taken the sword from his son’s hands moments ago, he gained an inheritance from it.
Moreover, he knew the origin of the sword and understood why, for a thousand years, no one was able to draw this sword.
The sword, named the Azure Dragon Sword, can only be drawn by those with the dragon bloodline.
Since childhood, he awakened the dragon bloodline and was born with dragon power. Because of this, he had always been invincible among peers within the same realm.
That was the very reason why he had been unable to break through to the Divine Power Realm.
His Cultivation Level and accumulations were already sufficient. Despite numerous years of seclusion, he still could not find the opportunity to breakthrough.
It wasn’t until just now, when he received the inheritance from the Azure Dragon Sword, that he finally found the method for breakthrough.
If not for sensing that an accident occurred here, he would have immediately secluded himself to impact the Divine Power Realm.
It’s really ironic. This Divine Sword has always been within Jingzhou’s territory, embedded on top of Sword Mountain. Yet, he never once thought of trying to draw it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted so many years.
In the end, it was his son who drew the sword and brought it before him.
Gu Yang went on, “Brother Wu, I have a favor to ask.”
Seeing his seriousness, King Jinghai also responded gravely, “Whatever it may be, feel free to speak.”
“I need money, a lot of money.”
King Jinghai was rather amused, thinking that Gu Yang had a serious matter to discuss. Who knew it was merely for something as worldly as money.
For him, money really wasn’t an issue at all.
Laughing, he said, “That’s easy to handle. Tomorrow, go find Qianlan and tell her how much money you need.”
Seeing King Jinghai’s nonchalant response, Gu Yang emphasized once more, “I need a lot of money.”
Seeing Gu Yang serious insistence, King Jinghai wasted no more words. He took out a jade token from his bosom and said, “Take this and go to the treasury. You can access any wealth within the king’s mansion.”
Gu Yang received the token with a bitter smile.
He knew that King Jinghai was not one to bother with mundane affairs. It was likely that the King is even unaware of the extent of his wealth.
He decided to directly seek out Pei Qianlan tomorrow and see what she had to say.
“Brother, having killed Shen Ao, the Shen family won’t let this issue rest. I need to enter seclusion for a period of time. You must be very careful. If you encounter a danger, take this token and head to the innermost house in the East Ancient Alley. There, someone will protect you.”
Gu Yang replied, “Understood.”
“Please take care of Qianlan for me,” said King Jinghai as he vanished into thin air.
Gu Yang knew that the King still wanted him to end up with his wife. However, Gu Yang was honest and open, and thus had nothing to hide.
He walked outside towards the courtyard where he was earlier. What greeted him were two pairs of worried eyes.
After Pei Qianlan took the Dan pill, she quickly woke up. Hearing that the King had come and taken Gu Yang away, she became anxious immediately.
What she feared most was Gu Yang having a conflict with the King, as she would not know what to do then.
How could Gu Yang possibly stand a chance against the King?
She struggled, wanting to go to the King and explain that it all had nothing to do with Gu Yang, and that she was just fancifully dreaming…
But she was firmly held back by Spring Peach.
Just then, Gu Yang walked out from inside, looking perfectly fine without any injuries. However, the King was nowhere in sight.
Relieved yet fearful, Spring Peach swallowed, asking, “Where’s the King?”
“He left.”
Spring Peach was at a loss, “Just like that… he left? Did he say… anything else?”
Gu Yang laughed, “There was a minor misunderstanding, which has been cleared up.”
Pei Qianlan finally asked, “What… did you say to the King?”
Gu Yang, remembering King Jinghai’s words about entrusting Qianlan to him, and considering it inappropriate to mention it as it could be easily misunderstood as flirting, simply said, “It was just a minor misunderstanding. The King, being broad-minded, didn’t take it to heart.”
He changed the topic to the main issue at hand, “By the way, how much silver is there in the King’s mansion?”
Pei Qianlan, slightly disappointed, said, “Probably several million taels, but Spring Peach would know better.”
The maid, Spring Peach, who was standing aside, spoke up, “Together, gold and silver amount to over seven million taels, not including various jewels, antiques, calligraphy and painting.”
Gu Yang’s eyes lit up. As expected of King Jinghai’s mansion. It was really too wealthy.
