The whole family traveled through time and became the wronged species, collectively going crazy and

After an incense stick of time, Chen Yunzhi appeared in the reception room again.

Shangguan Hong was a little disappointed when he saw that there was no one behind her.

But I heard Chen Yunzhi say:

"Mr. Dong Kuo wants to meet you in the pavilion of the palace. Your Majesty, please follow me."

Shangguan Hong's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and followed.

Ruoyuan and Feiyun came forward to help him, but Shangguan Hong waved his hand:

"I feel much better now and can walk on my own."

When Shangguan Hong walked out, he did not forget to ask Ruoyuan to bring the glass of water that the servant of the palace had just brought.

Wakamoto:…….

The group walked to the pavilion.

Chen Yunzhi pointed to the pavilion with the curtain drawn:

"Mr. Dong Kuo is inside. Please come in, Emperor Xiqi."

Shangguan Hong walked towards the pavilion. Feiyun and Ruoyuan subconsciously wanted to follow him, but Chen Yunzhi stopped them.

"Mr. Dong Kuo wants to see your emperor alone."

Ruo Yuan immediately objected: "No, the emperor is in poor health..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Hong interrupted him: "Ruoyuan, I have nothing to do. You and Feiyun just wait here."

Ruoyuan pouted and stayed where she was reluctantly, her eyes fixed straight in the direction of the pavilion.

When Shangguan Hong walked into the pavilion, he could not see anything outside because of the curtains.

Shangguan Hong walked into the pavilion and saw two half-grown children inside. There was no surprise on his face, but an expression of "as expected".

Qin Wan was stunned for a moment when she saw Shangguan Hong's appearance.

Unlike the young master of the Yuan family, Yuan Yi, who was handsome with both male and female features, the Emperor of Xiqi was so handsome that it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female.

“You don’t seem to be curious about the two of us being Mr. Dongkuo?

Did your Feiyun deliberately go to the teahouse to cause trouble this morning, in order to lure out the real Mr. Dong Kuo?"

Shangguan Hong curled his lips and said apologetically:

“I asked Feiyun to go to the teahouse to test it this morning, and my method was a little inappropriate. I hope the two young masters of Dongkuo will forgive me.

I had previously guessed that Mr. Dong Kuo was from Prince Ding's Palace, but I was not sure. That test was also to confirm my guess."

"What do you want to see Mr. Dong Kuo for?"

Qin Wan stared straight at Shangguan Hong and released her mental power to hypnotize him.

However, the expected situation of easily hypnotizing Shangguan Hong did not happen.

The moment Qin Wan's mental power approached Shangguan Hong, it was blocked by a force.

Qin Wan:…….

Shangguan Hong seemed to have noticed something as well, and frowned as he looked at Qin Wan and Qin Jingnian:

"What did you two want to do to me just now?"

Although the tone was questioning, the expression was affirmative.

Shangguan Hong still felt a little excited.

The Qin family indeed possesses powers different from ordinary people.

Qin Jingnian blinked.

What does it mean? My sister’s hypnosis, which always worked, failed and she was discovered?

Qin Wan, who was discovered, did not show any panic or embarrassment. Instead, she looked at Shangguan Hong seriously:

"How did you find out?"

Shangguan Hong did not hide it. He opened his collar and took out a red rope around his neck.

There is a red purse at the end of the rope, and I don’t know what’s inside the purse.

But the moment the purse was taken out, Qin Jingnian and Qin Wan clearly felt a surge of energy emanating from the purse.

Shangguan Hong carefully opened his purse, revealing the true contents.

It is a white jade pendant with a dragon pattern.

A jade pendant with many cracks that looked like it was about to break into pieces.

Shangguan Hong looked at the cracked jade pendant and suddenly sighed:

"The dragon-patterned jade pendant is about to break. It can no longer protect me and the Xiqi royal family."

Qin Jingnian and Qin Wan looked at each other. What did this mean?

Shangguan Hong suddenly looked up at the two of them, his eyes full of sincerity:

"I don't know why you two used your strength to attack me just now, but I know you two definitely didn't come to take my life.

I guarantee you two with my own life and the lives of the people of Xiqi that I am here sincerely to seek cooperation.

I have absolutely no ill will towards you or Dayue."

"Cooperation?" Qin Wan raised her eyebrows: "What cooperation? Also, where did you get this dragon-patterned jade pendant?"

This jade pendant must have some origin as it can withstand the invasion of her level 9 mental power.

Shangguan Hong smiled and took out the book "Zhu Xie Ji" that he carried with him again.

"Before I explain the purpose of my visit, two young gentlemen from Dongkuo, I would like to confirm with you first, is the content of the Changsheng Sect written here true?

Do they really have an evil system that can suck people's luck?"

"it is true."

Qin Wan nodded. There was nothing wrong with saying this.

"It's your turn."

Qin Wan stared at Shangguan Hong.

“This dragon-patterned jade pendant is a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Xiqi royal family.

It is said that a long time ago, there were cultivators on our continent who were able to ascend to become immortals.

Later, no one knew what happened, but all the cultivators disappeared.

This jade pendant was left by the ancestor of the Xiqi royal family who was able to cultivate immortality.

In the past, every emperor of Xiqi only knew that wearing this jade pendant was very comfortable, so he often wore it close to his body.

After the death of the previous emperor, the jade pendant would be passed on to the next emperor.

It was not until my grandfather’s generation that people realized that wearing this jade not only made people feel comfortable, but also had the effect of protecting the body.

Once, my royal grandfather was attacked. Before the assassin could get close to him, he was blown away by the golden light bursting out from his body.

Everyone said that the emperor's grandfather was a true dragon emperor, and the golden light bursting from his body was the real dragon protecting him.

Only my grandfather himself knew that the golden light that protected him actually came from this dragon-patterned jade pendant."

When Shangguan Hong said this, he touched the cracked jade pendant lovingly.

Qin Wan thought about how when her mental power was close to Shangguan Hong just now, there was no so-called golden light bursting out.

Only an invisible wave of energy prevented her from getting closer.

The reason can only be...

"After being used by generations, the power contained in this dragon-patterned jade pendant is no longer sufficient, right?"

At this time, Qiuqiu's voice sounded in Qin Wan's mind.

“Host, this jade pendant is a defensive magic weapon left by an immortal cultivator. The spiritual power contained in the magic weapon has disappeared and it is about to break down.

However, if placed in the spiritual spring pool for a period of time, the magic weapon can recover some of its power."

Qin Wan was speechless when she heard Qiuqiu's words.

The magic weapon is not hers, so whether or not she can recover her power is none of her business.

She looked at Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong nodded and then shook his head.

Qin Jingnian was impatient, "What does nodding and shaking your head mean?"

Shangguan Hong turned his eyes away from the jade pendant, sighed and explained bitterly:

“The protective power contained in the dragon-patterned jade pendant is indeed insufficient, but most of the power is not used on generations of royal ancestors.

It was I and my father who consumed most of the protective power of the dragon-patterned jade pendant.

If not for this, this dragon-patterned jade pendant could have been passed down from generation to generation, protecting many descendants of the Shangguan family."

"You and your father are often assassinated?"

Qin Jingnian blurted out.

"It's not an assassination, but there are always strange things trying to get close to me and my father.

Every time that thing tried to get closer, it would be blocked by the protective jade pendant.

Over time, the protective jade pendant gradually developed cracks and its power became weaker and weaker.

The jade pendant is in such a state now that I’m afraid it won’t be long before it completely breaks into pieces and can no longer protect me.

If I don't have the jade pendant to protect me, if that strange thing comes close again, I'm afraid I'll be in great danger.

I am not afraid of death. I am only afraid that the Shangguan family’s century-old foundation will be destroyed in my hands.

Then I am the sinner of the Shangguan family!"
