Han Yan had initially wondered how she had managed to uncover the secret of the Flower Cage Grass, tying it to both the Water Orchid and the Dragon Blood Stone. How had Mu Nan of another lifeti discovered its secret and even found the Dragon Blood Stone through it? Suddenly, she understood it all. He must have been rely curious about the Water Orchid at first, and only later, upon seeing the Seven-star Flower Cage, did he start thinking of treasure hunting, eventually leading him to find the Dragon Blood Stone.
"Master, the Seven-star Flower Cage Grass is a rare sight. Don’t miss this opportunity. Where the Seven-star Flower Cage Grass grows, there often lies a strange treasure," the steward said excitedly.
"Mmm, I know, you can go now," Mu Nan nodded.
Mu Nan was smart. Che Xiang now belonged to Han Yan, so the Seven-star Flower Cage Grass didn’t matter as much to him. He couldn’t be greedy; indeed, he didn’t dare be greedy, or he would get beaten.
"Oh, I’m going now then. Tsk, tsk, to think I had the fortune to see such a treasure," the steward left, still tsking in amazent.
"Wait, haven’t I told you before? Don’t disturb while I’m discussing matters and don’t reveal my identity in front of others. What were you doing skulking by the door just now?" Mu Nan suddenly rembered and asked displeased.
"Oh, I ca to bring you good news. My master has written back. He has accepted your invitation and is willing to co to Heishi City to lend you a hand," the steward recalled his original purpose and said, slapping his forehead joyfully.
"That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful! When is your master coming? We should go greet him early," Mu Nan said, overwheld with joy.
"The master didn’t specify a date, but he wouldn’t agree if he hadn’t ant it. He should be coming soon," the steward answered.
"Good, good, send a few people to wait at the city outskirts, and let know imdiately when he arrives. We mustn’t neglect him," Mu Nan instructed enthusiastically, rubbing his hands.
"Yes," the steward bowed and retreated.
"Who is his master?" Seeing Mu Nan so excited, Han Yan asked curiously.
"His master is none other than the renowned Star Divination Master Qu Shanling. It is said that his Star Divination Technique is marvelously profound. Besides, Senior Qu’s ’Eye Power’ surpasses that of ordinary people, and he has a deep understanding of treasure appraisal. When his treasure appraisal skills combine with his Star Divination, even a keen-eyed expert would find it hard to match.
Having Master Qu grace the Nanmu Auction will surely make it trendously famous. It’d be hard not to make money, haha...haha," Mu Nan said exuberantly, dancing with joy, cockily.
"So it’s him, congratulations!" Han Yan comnted. She no longer felt the aversion toward the Mu brothers she had before and felt happy for him.
"Right, Brother Han Yan, you heard what was said earlier about the growing spot of the Seven-star Flower Cage, implying the presence of a strange treasure. You should act quickly, or, given ti, others might get there first," Mu Nan finally cald down and advised Han Yan.
No need for him to say—Han Yan wouldn’t miss this chance. After all, it wasn’t just any strange treasure; it was the Dragon Blood Stone.
Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Che Xiang, who now knew where the Seven-star Flower Cage Grass grew.
"Master, it’s not that I don’t wish to speak, but since I’ve already sworn to follow you, even if it costs my life, I wouldn’t hesitate, let alone care about any treasure or not.
