Dragon's Origin

Chapter 303: Clues to the Peerless Treasure Map (Part 2)

Song Yan was definitely not the docile person she used to be, something Wang Sheng had always known.

In the past, Song Yan was suppressed and bullied by the Song family's elders. Besides Song Lao Yu, there was no one more trustworthy by her side. Her cultivation was not high, and her cultivation resources were seized. Even if Song Yan wanted to resist, she was powerless. Unable to resist, she could only accept it submissively and wrong herself.

But Wang Sheng knew that Song Yan had always been a woman with her own ideas. When Song Hongde returned and Song Yan held great power, her true character was gradually revealed.

Wang Sheng liked Song Yan's personality, this new-age woman who would actively fight and strive for what she wanted. Clearly, the current Song Yan was striding forward on this path.

Wang Sheng even believed that if Song Yan went back and told Song Hongde those words of his, persuading him to give up his ambition to dominate the world and leave the center of power, Song Yan would soon control the power of the Song Kingdom and become the undisputed queen.

Song Yan had said that she might become the person Wang Sheng least wanted her to be, perhaps because of this. Now that Song Yan had brought the experts painstakingly cultivated by Song Hongde under her command and truly become the Duke of Song, what would she become? The Wu Zetian of the Yuanhun world?

When one holds power, sometimes one's thoughts are involuntary. Just like the Emperor, even knowing that Wang Sheng was not a threat, he couldn't help but have the thought of killing Wang Sheng when they first met.

Perhaps Song Yan knew the hardships of this path, so she gave herself to Wang Sheng before she became someone he disliked.

"By the way, the Song family's camp, can I reopen it after I go back?" Song Yan asked reluctantly in Wang Sheng's arms, but her mind was already on other matters of the Song Kingdom.

"You can reopen it if the Duke of Song乖乖 recuperates," Wang Sheng said without hesitation. Since Song Yan wanted to take this path, Wang Sheng had no reason or right to stop her: "Otherwise, keep it closed!"

With this reason, even if Song Hongde didn't want to withdraw, he couldn't. For the sake of the Song family, Song Hongde would definitely be willing to live well and watch the Song family become the most powerful vassal state under Song Yan's leadership.

Song Yan stopped talking, hugging Wang Sheng tightly, seemingly reluctant to let go, or perhaps waiting for Wang Sheng to stay.

Wang Sheng also knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Song Yan might give up everything and follow him, but when he thought of the girl's eyes in his dream, Wang Sheng couldn't say a word.

Song Yan was finally leaving. Under the gaze of more than thirty expert guards, she reluctantly let go of Wang Sheng, the resentment in her eyes seeming to circle Wang Sheng several times.

Wang Sheng stood at the door of their bridal chamber, watching Song Yan walk away, his heart filled with mixed feelings. Suddenly, Wang Sheng discovered that Song Yan, who had already walked dozens of feet away, had turned back again. He couldn't help but be stunned, but his heart was filled with joy.

"I remembered something, I forgot to tell you," Song Yan returned to Wang Sheng's side, seeing Wang Sheng's happy expression, she was also overjoyed. However, she still hadn't given up her decision, returning only to tell Wang Sheng one thing.

Last time when Wang Sheng was at the Shi family, a theft occurred in the Shi family. Several men in black took advantage of the conflict between Wang Sheng and the Shi family to steal a Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box treasured by the Shi family. Inside the seal box was half of a Peerless Treasure Map.

Until now, the Shi family still hasn't found out the identity of the men in black. They were all assassins, and they didn't leave any traces. Even if the Shi family dissected the bodies of those men in black, they wouldn't be able to find any clues.

However, a few months ago, the Gan family accidentally discovered half a map in a scroll recording some kind of exercise that they accidentally bought at an auction. According to the news from the Song family's internal agents in the Gan family, it was also half of a Peerless Treasure Map.

Now the Gan family is searching everywhere and offering high rewards for the other half. After the Marquis of Shi knew the news, no one knows how many utensils he smashed in anger. He clearly had a great opportunity to cooperate with the Gan family to jointly explore the Peerless Treasure, but it turned out to be all in vain.

"Those men in black must be from the Gan family." Hearing this news, Wang Sheng immediately gave the conclusion without saying a word.

There are not many forces that can train assassins, and it is even less likely for small forces to train assassins to hide for several years for a mission. Only a large family like the Gan family, besides the five major families, has this kind of strength.

"Everyone actually knows it now, but no one has said it out loud." Song Yan smiled, the Gan family was trying to cover up, and knowing that half of the Peerless Treasure Map had been destroyed, they deliberately took it out to disgust the Shi family. Or there may be other intentions, but that is not known.

"What are you planning to do by telling me this?" Wang Sheng asked puzzled.

"You were also present when the Shi family's half of the Peerless Treasure Map was destroyed." Song Yan suddenly smiled charmingly: "You must know a lot, even seen that half of the map, right?"

"The Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box is not so easy to open." Wang Sheng smiled faintly, not admitting or denying: "I got a Two Symbols Exquisite Seal Box in Worry-Free City back then, and I also asked someone from the Exquisite Pavilion for help."

"You are my man." Song Yan didn't argue, just said with a smile: "I have a feeling that you can definitely open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box, you must have seen that half of the map, right?"

Wang Sheng looked at Song Yan, and Song Yan was also looking at Wang Sheng expectantly. After a while, Wang Sheng finally nodded: "That's right, I've seen it." It was also a disguised admission that he could open the Four Symbols Exquisite Seal Box.

"My man is definitely an indomitable and omnipotent person." Song Yan was overjoyed, and rushed up to kiss Wang Sheng fiercely.

"When I go out, I will pass this news to the Gan family." Song Yan walked back happily, skipping and jumping, and said as she walked: "When the Gan family comes to you, you must not offer them a cheap price, but extort them severely."

"What if the Shi family comes?" Wang Sheng laughed, and suddenly shouted at the departing Song Yan.

"Then you can earn a second fortune." Song Yan's voice floated over, full of laughter.

Whether it was Song Yan or Wang Sheng, neither of them seemed to consider the possibility that the Gan family or the Shi family would come to the door, forcibly snatching or forcing Wang Sheng to death. Wang Sheng is no longer the Wang Sheng he used to be, even if he is not good enough, he is also the secular elder with the highest seniority in the Old Gentleman Temple. Unless they are determined to be enemies with the Old Gentleman Temple, otherwise the two families can only cooperate obediently and let Wang Sheng extort them severely.
