Chapter 4483: 5.0235 Introduction
Young Master Rong quickly caught up a couple of steps, smiling as he asked, "How is it? Did His Majesty say anything?"
"Your King is coming!" Qiao Mu flipped the jade charm over to Young Master Rong's eyes for him to admire.
Young Master Rong immediately looked like the sky was falling, his words somewhat stammering, "Th-this, how can this be??"
Didn't I already appease that fellow before I left? I told him not to rush over, that he'd have to wait at least half a year to stabilize the situation before making a long journey! What was Wu Yong doing? Why didn't he try to dissuade him?
Grand Master Qiao Qiao glanced at his face and asked, "Do you have some internal conflict in Cangzhou that needs resolving?"
"The problem isn't big, it's just..."
"If the problem isn't big, why are you panicking?" The little poker-face turned her small head, clenching a tiny fist. "Don't you know his character? Since he said he's coming, it must mean the matter has already been resolved."
That fast?? Young Master Rong thought about it and felt that the little Crown Princess's words made perfect sense. He should trust his own King. Although the King was usually unreliable, when he got serious, he was more reliable than anyone else...
The few of them chatted and walked, following Senior Brother Plump through a spacious tomb passage, then turning into a side chamber.
"Junior Sister, look! This side chamber has a pile of glittering crystal cores and minerals. Earlier, all of these were moved to the small treasury by your clones," the plump man said, chuckling, as he turned back to her.
This fellow led them, walking and touring, showing them the tomb, and couldn't stop chattering, explaining a thing or two. He'd mention how there were originally two peerless luminous pearls on a mural here, which were dug out by Little Senior Sister's clones. Or how the mermaid lamp over there originally had a Level 15 spiritual beast crystal core embedded in its base, which was excavated by Little Senior Sister's clones!
All the way, he kept chattering, and the people behind him were already thoroughly stunned by him. Only the little poker-face maintained her steady, expressionless face, calm and unruffled.
"Junior Sister, here, here." The plump man led the group into the main tomb chamber.
On the stone walls surrounding the tomb chamber hung various peculiar treasures, momentarily dazzling everyone's eyes.
"Little Senior Sister, originally this place was completely emptied by you!" This plump fellow, at first, used "your clones" but as he got more enthusiastic, he directly switched to "you."
"You wouldn't believe it, you moved them so diligently! A little bit every day, moving them every single day. Later, I saw Master's side was truly too empty and deserted. There was nothing I could do, so I could only secretly go to your small treasury and move some of these back."
Qiao Mu: ...
"Junior Sister, do you especially love these treasures?" The plump man grinned, his face honest and sincere.
Before Qiao Mu could speak, Mo Lian and Feng Chen retorted in unison, "Nonsense!"
Qiao Mu silently twitched her lips, then lightly coughed. "First, let's pay respects to the ancestor."
So much nonsense, chattering all the way. I wonder if he hasn't spoken to anyone in decades; he's incredibly talkative!
"Oh, oh," the plump man chuckled and nodded, then quickly led the little poker-face, guiding her to where the coffin was placed in the center.
Grand Master Qiao Qiao stopped, halting to slightly lift her head. She looked at the pair of graceful jade sculptures in front of the coffin.
Carved from white jade, one male and one female, each with a long sword on their back. The human figures were sculpted lifelike, appearing as if they were about to float and ascend.
