C69 (1/2)

Yuwen Xi bit her lips and tried again and again, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she felt a sense of courage from getting more frustrated, because although she had not succeeded yet, she felt that she had mastered it bit by bit. As long as she corrected her previous little mistake every time, she could control it until all her mistakes were corrected.

On the ninth try, Yuwen Xi still failed. She looked at the cup in front of her and laughed: ”Little girl, am I still unable to hit you? I'll definitely hit you on the tenth time! ”

”Heh!” Yuwen Xi bellowed and pushed out all her strength, only to see the cup shaking, and following that, it fell onto the ground with a ”dong” sound, rolling for a good while before stopping.

Yuwen Xi was so happy that she almost went crazy. She had finally grasped it, and channeled all of the Qi in her lower abdomen into her arms, pushing it out fiercely. When the Qi was in her arms, she felt that her arms were full of power.

If she wanted to jump, she would need to bring it to her feet. Yuwen Xi understood that if she were to do this, she would have the urge to flip over the wall.

She had to calm down, to remain calm, and the more it was like this, the more she should remain calm. Right now, her strength was not enough to break a teacup, which meant that her strength was still very weak and needed to be strengthened. It seemed that this ancient book was still very useful, as Yuwen Xi's mother had done a good deed.

”Yin Lian, what day is it today?” Yuwen Xi stretched her back and casually asked.

”The third of May.” Yin Lian coincidentally walked over.

Yuwen Xi was startled. 3rd May? It was already the 3rd of May? The one month time limit had expired. Damn, she had already forgotten about this matter, wouldn't Zi Chuan be coming tonight?

Then when should she go and get the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture? After thinking about it, she decided to retrieve it after Zi Chuan had arrived. This way, she could give it to him after he got it without any trouble.

Luckily she did not go out today, or else she would have been struck empty by Zi Chuan and the poison in her body. She had almost forgotten about this matter, mainly because she did not react at all.

In the dead of night, Yuwen Xi had long instructed Yin Lian to go rest, this matter was best not to let Yin Lian know, the less people who knew, the better. It was not that she did not trust Yin Lian, but he did not want to give her any trouble, her reaction speed was still not good, and at that time, it would be difficult for her to see through it.

She sat at the place where she met Zi Chuan the second time and waited. She didn't know when Zi Chuan would come nor did she know if he would come tonight.

However, when she got a little tired from waiting, a breeze brushed past her face and she immediately opened her eyes wide, only to see that Zi Chuan was already seated opposite to her. He could not help but marvel at this person's martial arts skills.

”Where's the map?” Zi Chuan went straight to the point.

Yuwen Xi realized that Zi Chuan was the only one that came, as the three people following behind him had not come yet.

For people like Baili Yeming, they would only follow four people the moment they reached there. It was a grand show, but it was so cool that it made him look big in an instant.

”I'm hiding in a place. I need to get it now.” Fortunately, she was already prepared, if she was still in the study room now, it would definitely become very troublesome. Luckily, no one noticed that the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture was gone, but Yuwen Qing hadn't been in the study room much recently. She went out frequently, and by the time he found out, the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture had already gone somewhere.

”Mm, do you need me to go with you?”

”Let's go together, we don't need to get into trouble halfway.”

Yuwen Xi walked in front and Zi Chuan followed behind. Zi Chuan's attire wasn't much different from that day, and her face was still that day as well, and still wasn't very pretty. She kept having the feeling that this face didn't match up to his current outfit, and was a little curious about the face beneath the Human Skin Mask.

She didn't know if this Human Skin Mask could be sold, but if it was, she would buy a few to play with. That way, she could change her identity at will.

He brought Zi Chuan to the courtyard of the Madame Liang. That was right, he buried the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture in the courtyard of the Madame Liang, afraid that Yuwen Jing would search them after discovering it, so they would. The courtyard of the Madame Liang would probably be better, even if they found it, it would have nothing to do with her, so it wouldn't be troublesome if he didn't hand it over to Zi Chuan then.

She dug for a while before finding it. She had buried it a little deep. She had thought that since she had obtained it, she wouldn't be able to escape from her hands. If she could hide it well, then she would.

In order to prevent the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture from getting destroyed, she packaged it very well. After returning to her own residence, she then opened the package and handed the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture over to Zi Chuan, who then unfurled the picture scroll. That's right, it was the Flowing Light and Broken Jade Picture, even in a bright environment, it was still dazzling light, no wonder so many people wanted to buy it.

”This is your reward.” Zi Chuan placed two pieces of silver in front of him. When Yuwen Xi saw the numbers on the silver, he was shocked.

A painting randomly placed by Yuwen Qing was actually so valuable? Furthermore, this was only split into money. Was she supposed to sell all of the paintings in Yuwen Qiang's study? Wouldn't that be earning him money?

Looking at Yuwen Xi's excited expression, Zi Chuan laughed, ”Are you thinking of selling all of the paintings in Yuwen Jing's study?”
