Chapter 653 People’s hearts are unpredictable
Suddenly I received a system prompt and entered the system to check.
The whole person suddenly stood up from the stone bench. Qin'er was startled by her sudden action and put the embroidery in her hand on the table: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little sleepy." Fu Ling blurted out.
But Qin'er was stunned. Her master seemed to be very sleepy recently. As long as he didn't go to pay his respects to the Queen, he would sleep most of the time. He just got up not long ago. It remains to be seen whether he has only woken up for half an incense stick of time. How could he be sleepy already?
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Fu Ling looked at Qin'er and then realized what he had said.
"Hey, Qin'er, you don't know, I don't know why these past few days, I just can't sit still. Once I sit down, I feel sleepy. It may be because I read late into the night a few days ago, and I haven't recovered yet." He quickly made an excuse for himself.
"Princess, my dear Highness, are you waiting for the servants to go to bed and then staying up late again?"
Fu Ling touched his nose and smiled, "You've discovered all this."
"Princess, staying up late is bad for a woman's skin. You're lucky you have a good foundation. If it were someone else, they would have dark circles under their eyes long ago. Furthermore, staying up late for a long time is also harmful to the body. I once heard of someone who stayed up all night for a month straight without getting enough rest during the day, and ended up dying suddenly at home."
"Oh, I also stay up late occasionally. It's not like I stay up all night, I just go to bed late. I'm different from the person you mentioned. Besides, I make up for the sleep during the day. Don't worry, I'm blessed with a long life. I won't die so soon."
"Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense. Our Highness can live for a thousand years."
Fu Ling laughed out loud, "Qin'er, aren't people who can live a thousand years all monsters? If this person really lived a thousand years, he would be captured and used as a medicine."
Qin'er was completely bewildered. "Your Highness, what do you mean by that? How could you be captured to be used as a medicine inducer? Who would dare to capture you? You are the Ninth Princess of Xuanyuan."
"I've lived for a thousand years. By that time, dynasties had changed, and no one cared about who I was. If they saw that I had lived to that age, naturally some people would want to learn the secret of longevity from me."
"What...what should I do?" Qin'er was frightened by Fu Ling's words and couldn't explain it for a long time.
Fu Ling laughed: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. How long you live is up to fate."
Then he stretched himself lazily, pretending to be tired and said, "I can't do it anymore. I'm so sleepy. I'll go back to my bedroom and rest first."
"Then your highness, I will wait for you to go to bed."
Fu Ling quickly waved his hand: "No, you continue with your work, I'll go back by myself."
As she spoke, she left the pavilion, and Qin'er could only watch her go.
Returning to the bedroom, Fu Ling locked the door to avoid being disturbed.
Then he entered the boundary bead, found a set of ordinary clothes, and changed out of the silk and satin clothes he was wearing. These clothes were not convenient to wear when fighting, and they were easy to get dirty and torn.
Following the ugly man's memory, Lu Beichen came to a secret room.
This place belongs to the man privately. When he lifted the bed board, a large stone slab appeared in front of him. When he moved the stone slab away again, he found a secret compartment. In addition to gold, silver, treasures, banknotes and deeds, there was also a black-covered book. The book contained a list of people who were close to him. They originally belonged to Ouyang Yuan, but were unknowingly taken in by the ugly man.
Ouyang Yuan thought that his three protectors were loyal, but he never thought that they had such a trick up their sleeve. One really can't judge people by appearances. Although they may not look good, they are very cunning. Most of the people on this list are loyal not out of their own will. Either they have a handle in his hands, or they are driven by interests. These people have been carefully selected by the ugly man in order to develop his own power.
"What are you doing?" A beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside me.
"I just killed one of Ouyang Yuan's three guardians and obtained some information from him."
Lu Beichen handed over the banknotes, gold, silver and jewelry he had collected, leaving only the blacklist in his hand.
"Wow, this guy has quite a bit of assets. This banknote must be worth at least several million."
Lu Beichen nodded: "There are 2000 million taels of silver notes, but only taels of gold and silver."
"He's a rich man! He's just a Dharma protector, but he's so rich?"
"He was developing his own power behind Ouyang Yuan's back. All this money was squeezed out of others. He also has several private properties, which are all quite profitable."
"It seems Ouyang Yuan isn't very kind to his subordinates. He's even forcing them to start a side business and poaching their employees. Interesting."
"Hubby, what about the remaining two guardians?"
Lu Beichen shook his head. "The three Dharma protectors are meant to check and balance each other. They know it all. They appear to be incompatible on the surface, but in private they keep to themselves."
Fu Ling laughed. "These three are really interesting. How did Ouyang Yuan choose them? I remember him being quite conceited. He remembers everyone being incredibly loyal to him, right? Really loyal! This is truly an eye-opener."
"A man as vicious as Ouyang Yuan only cares about himself and his own interests. How could he care about the lives of others? If it weren't for his status as the Imperial Master and the cards he holds, he would have been retaliated against by the forces he cultivated long ago."
"That makes sense. These guardians are some big fish. I just received 56 points, and now I'm even more excited about the other two guardians." Fu Ling rubbed his hands and continued, "This way, I'm getting closer and closer to 1000 million points. I'm curious about what rewards I'll get after upgrading."
He originally planned to leave the task of finding a guardian to Xuanyuan Gen, but after hearing what his wife said, he immediately changed his mind.
"The news of Ouyang Yuan's death will spread quickly. Their secret agents will find a way to contact them after hearing the news. Don't worry, they can't escape."
"Well, I'm not in a hurry. What are you going to do next?" Fu Ling asked back.
"I'm looking for the source of the virus. Our journey won't be complete until we find the source of the virus first."
"Yeah, where do you think the virus originated from?"
Lu Beichen shook his head: "I don't know. Those things didn't appear in Ouyang Yuan's memory. They should have slowly appeared after his death."
"That shouldn't be the case. Let's wait a little longer. If all else fails, we can only use time travel to go back to the year when the virus appeared. I don't believe we can't find the source."
“It can only be this way…”
"Wait..." A light bulb went off in Fu Ling's head, and a name suddenly appeared in her mind.
"What's wrong, wife?"
"I suddenly thought of someone to come."
"Who?"
"An elder from Wanyao Valley. He has a close personal relationship with Ouyang Yuan. Perhaps we can find some clues in Wanyao Valley."
"Are you talking about Qin Ming?" Lu Beichen had some impression of this person.
