Chapter 577 - The Scramble Of The Old Map



​​

"Sangguan Wu Ci…" he said again then he grits his teeth "I don't like him…" he could sanguan Wu Ci harbor ill-intention towards her.

Lory nod obediently "Yeah, me too" She have met people like Sanguan Wu Ci before, a narcissistic man who think he deserved all the great thing in the world and when he can't get what he wanted he would blame other people but never himself

Zhao Li Xin helps Lory to climb on the carriage soon their carriage left the place. Sanguan Wu ci watches the carriage left with an inexplicable look, a faint smile touches his lip as he immersed in his thought.

"Master Sanguan the carriage is ready" his servants bow his head courteously.

The servant's voice snapped him back and instantly his face turn cold again "Hum" he responds dully.

Soon after the story of what happened at Dongchen Auction house spread like wildfire in next day, everyone knew about Long Ming, and Hei Shen Sect King Palace, they all amazed at how rich the Hei Shen sect is, how overbearing Long Ming and his companion is, at first there are only a few people at Yun Dao city who know about Long Ming and Hei Shen sect but thanks to what happened at the auction everyone now knows whose Long Ming is and soon the rumors about Zhao Li Xin reached everyone ears in the city. 

Unfortunately for Lao Min Na she also becomes the talk of the town but not in a good way, the story of Lao Min Na deliberately raised the bid without having sufficient fund and ruined the bidding, as a result, make people scrunched their face, they thought Lao Min Na action is shameful and undignified, she is lucky Long Ming insisted to buy the item what if Long Ming decide to drop his bidding, how would Lao Min Na pay for the item? what would Dongchen house to do, they can't force her to pay because of her relationship with the sanguan and the royal family if that happened Dongchen's house would become a laughing stock.

What Lao Min Na doing is not against the law but her behavior is unacceptable and cheap, no one likes to be cheated after all. People shook their heads when they talk about Lao Min Na, they thought that woman is very beautiful and smart she becomes The Sanguan family honorable guest and highly values by the royal family but in the end she just a fool who falls into her own trap.

In this chauvinist world, people tend to be more judgemental against women, they all expect women to be virtuous, kind, gentle, smart, and sensible in every situation, that's why a lot of people find Lao Min Na behavior is distasteful.

"She deserved it" Ming Yue Yin scoffed.

Yang Xi Ying also sneers "Who told her to be scheming all the time, does she think everyone is a fool" The kind yang Xi Ying still can't forgive what Lao Min Na did to Li Mo Zhen and Jiu Yun Sect.

"Hump, if she dares show her trick again I will beat her down again" Bei Li Yan snort in disdain.

"Brother Bei, should you have a meeting with Li Xin?" Lory squints her eyes, he squeezes himself on the girl's talk here and why it doesn't feel weird?

Bei Li Yan waves his hand elegantly "I already report everything to the Lord and he went to the spatial ring to cultivate so I got nothing to do"

"Why don't you accompany Brother Jin and Brother Li then" Lory ask confusedly, should men like to spend their time together.

"Bei Li Yan rolls his eyes "Both of them play chess all the time and talk about poetry, painting, music, I'm sorry Xi Ying your husband is a great man but God have mercy! He is so boring" Bei Li Yan shakes his head tiredly.

Yang Xi Ying make a dry laugh she inwardly agree with Bei Li Yan 'He does can be boring sometimes' 

Well that because she spends her time with Lory and Ming Yue Yin and they talk about almost everything without restrained she becomes used to it and there is a few things that she can't talk to her husband and only share with her best friend and that's why their conversation is always exciting.

"Anyway, where is Yuan Shao, I thought after a long waited for you two would glue to each other" Lory wiggles her eyebrows.

Ming Yue Yin cheek reddened "What are you talking about, he got something else to do, is not like he got all his time for me" she pouting her lips cutely.

Lory and Yang Xi Ying exchange glance and smile "Aahh..that's why you eat two bowls of broth noodle soup, someone is angry" Lory teased. 

"Hey, I'm just hungry!" she refuted.

Yang Xi Ying lean toward Lory "I think she is hungry and angry"

Lory eyes widened "Aah I see, you are 'hangry'" 

"That's not even a word!" Ming Yue Yin shout.

"It does now" Lory solemnly said then she look at Bei Li Yan "Spread the word…."

Bei Li Yan holding his laugh and answer courteously "As you wish madam"

Yang Xi Ying burst to laugh leaving only Ming Yue Yin pouting.

While the four ladies….ehm, three ladies and one man spout nonsense, inside the sanguan family study room three men are in a deep discussion. 

"What kinda map?" asked the middle-aged man, that man is Sanguan Jin sheng he is the current patriarch of Sanguan family, he is in early fifty but because he's high cultivation he looks like someone in late thirty, he looked very handsome and charismatic because of his ripe aged it only add grandeur to his charming appearance is no wonder even until now a lot of young women still fight to enter his harem.

However that handsome man expression was grim, there's a lot of bad rumors circling around his family lately while his son birthday banquet is approaching he wants to use this chance to find a good woman who can benefit his family bud now with this bad rumor hovering around them he fears a great noble family would be hesitated to match their daughter to his Son.

This time is Lao Min Na who make trouble for the sake of an old map, Lao Min Na used to be smart and sensible how could she become a fool all of the sudden.

Sanguan Wu Ci sips his wine first then he speaks "Is a map about a sword from the ancient King, but it only a piece of it so is not worth fighting for" Sanguan Wu Ci put down the winecup gently on the table next to him.

"Which King, why this item is not on the list they sent us before?" Sanguan Jin Sheng complained.

Sanguan Wu Ci doesn't know why his father cares about a simple map but he does not probe further knowing it would be useless "I don't know, they just said ancient King" he shrugged casually.

Sanguan Jin Sheng's expression becomes stiffed as he contemplated seriously then suddenly he lifts his head "Invite the Manager of Dongchen house, I have something to ask him" he firmly said towards Sanguan Wu Ci.

Sanguan Wu Ci's eyebrows furrows "Is it about the map, why is that map so important?" he can't figure it why his father reacted strongly about a piece of a map.

"Just call the manager, I tell you about it later" Sanguan Jin Sheng shakes his head.

Sanguan Wu Ci sighs "Fine if there nothing else this Son excused himself" he bowed his head then leave the room.

Inside the room, Sanguan Jin Sheng and his father Sanguan Liu Wen look at each other in intense expression. Sanguan Liu Wen is the elder and the previous patriarch even though he already reaches eighty but his mind is still sharp and his back still straight like a pole just like someone in their forty, is all because his high cultivation and pill he consumed every day to maintain his strength.

"What do you think father?" Sanguan Jin Sheng stares at his father.

"Don't be hasty, we can't make a mountain out of a molehill" Sanguan Liu wen waved his hand.

"I know, but what if this turns out to be true? And that map already falls on long Ming hand, what should we do about it" he looks trouble and anxious at the same time. 

Sanguan Liu Wen expression become darker than charcoal "Retrieve it at all cost"
