Even when they initially went to the Underground Palace to hide the treasure, it was painstakingly difficult. Not to ntion Fahua Temple, which had already fallen into the hands of the rebel army. They must have expended considerable effort just to detect sothing amiss, let alone successfully retrieve the affairs of His Majesty.
Moreover, it was admirable how they managed to keep it all a secret in front of everyone, without revealing the affairs of His Majesty.
All in all, the senior and junior brothers understood this clearly and were deeply, deeply grateful to them.
Li Wenli waved his hand: "What we want to tell you isn’t about that."
If they had kept the three—La Man Uncle, One-ard Uncle, and One-eyed Uncle—behind only to hear a word of thanks, it would have been far too frivolous.
Li Wenli glanced at the trio and said, "For safety’s sake, why don’t you three sit down first? Otherwise, later when you get too excited, it wouldn’t be good if you ended up bumping and falling."
"???" The three heard this, and their hearts tightened. Could it be that retrieving the affairs of His Majesty had t with so unforeseen difficulty?
Could it be that the affairs of His Majesty were not recovered and had even fallen into the hands of the Fifth Prince?
Feeling that their guess might be correct, the three couldn’t help but speak up: "Actually, if the affairs of His Majesty are lost, then it’s not really..."
Just as those words were being said, Junjun Girl across from them suddenly pulled out a leather scroll from her pocket. Seeing this scroll, the three froze again.
Huh?
Wasn’t it said to be lost? What is this?
At this mont, Bai Junjun finally spoke: "In fact, we previously handed over this ancient scroll to your junior sister, Lady Lin. However, she was worried that she couldn’t keep it safe herself, so she asked us to continue safeguarding it. Seeing you now is wonderful—finally, we can return it to its rightful owner and fulfill our mission."
"???" The three brothers, La Man Uncle, One-ard Uncle, and One-eyed Uncle, were stunned.
What did she say?
They even t their junior sister?
"You? Are you talking about my junior sister?" La Man Uncle stamred as he asked.
"Lin the Demon Head... no, Lady Lin?" One-ard Uncle was equally astonished.
"How did you co across each other?" One-eyed Uncle asked in disbelief.
"We were neighbors back in the Imperial Capital. She would often co over to share als, and little by little, that’s how we got acquainted," Bai Junjun explained.
As soon as Bai Junjun finished speaking, La Man Uncle’s eyes instantly turned red. Even One-ard Uncle and One-eyed Uncle couldn’t entirely control their emotions.
After all, they were just ordinary people. Having lived on the edge of life and death all these years, the thought of ho naturally grew stronger and stronger.
However, such thoughts couldn’t be easily brought up, because the tornt of yearning for what they couldn’t have would tear their souls apart.
Over these years, the brothers intentionally avoided speaking of their sect or ho in any way, fearing that doing so would make the longing unbearable, perhaps even prompting them to abandon the ss here and return.
Today, Bai Junjun had unexpectedly brought up their junior sister—and their junior sister so vividly.
The tension in their nerves instantly unraveled.
To speak of it, their junior sister had always been insatiably greedy. anwhile, Fox was known for his excellent cooking skills, which everyone recognized. If their junior sister had encountered him, she would indeed shalessly ask for food. So they had no doubt about Bai Junjun’s words.
"Shortly after you descended the mountain, Lady Lin also went down searching for you. However, she didn’t find you. Upon returning to the mountain, your master, Old Man Shan Hai, had already been captured by Yuwen Song."
Bai Junjun recounted the past three years—the experiences of Old Man Shan Hai and Lady Lin, how Old Man Shan Hai ended up at Witch Ancestor Mountain, and how they rescued him from there.
"These matters concern the privacy of your sect, so earlier we didn’t bring it up. But now that you know, it still isn’t too late, is it?"
