Dragon's Origin

Chapter 315: A Letter from the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion (Part 2)

The large Two-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box was taken out and placed in front of Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng didn't think too much and directly prepared to act.

If Song Yan hadn't secretly sent the message out, the Exquisite Pavilion would never have brought an Exquisite Imprint Box without a key. This was the Exquisite Pavilion's test, an exam to prove that Wang Sheng had the ability to open the Exquisite Imprint Box.

However, the Two-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box was not difficult for Wang Sheng at all. Not to mention Wang Sheng's lock-picking skills trained on Earth could open it, but now Wang Sheng had cultivation. Using the Nine Character Incantation 'Action' formula, after a few tries, Wang Sheng could almost determine the structure of the lock inside the Exquisite Imprint Box.

Before, Wang Sheng needed to put his ear close to the Exquisite Imprint Box to listen to the sound of the internal mechanism moving, but now with the Nine Character Incantation, it was not necessary at all. Wang Sheng really didn't use the sophisticated tools in his military watch, but directly found two similar iron pieces and easily opened the large Two-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box.

As Wang Sheng expected, inside the large Two-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box, there was another normal box. Wang Sheng was also very familiar with the box; it was clearly a normal-sized Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box.

Sure enough, they were cautious. A Two-Phases Imprint Box was not enough to prove that Wang Sheng had the ability to open the Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box. However, this still couldn't stump Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng was able to open the Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box when he was at the Shi family's place. This one was the same structure as that one, only the serrations of the lock were different. For Wang Sheng, there was no difficulty.

Opening the Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box again, Wang Sheng saw a well-sealed envelope inside. Out of caution, Wang Sheng checked it, and after confirming there were no problems, he opened it.

There was only a piece of paper inside the envelope, and it was actually a Huanchua笺 paper. Fortunately, it was only white, otherwise Wang Sheng would have suspected that the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion had other preferences.

There was nothing else on the stationery, only an address. An address outside of Worry-Free City, which looked unremarkable, but Wang Sheng knew that this address must have been arranged by the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion specifically to wait for Wang Sheng to come.

Should he go or not? There was no doubt about it. Wang Sheng's Qian Sheng Yuan business was now inseparable from the Exquisite Pavilion, so he definitely had to go. It was just that he didn't know what kind of impression this Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion, whom he had never met, would give Wang Sheng.

In Worry-Free City, Wang Sheng came and went freely. Wang Sheng strolled around the street for a while, looking around aimlessly, and then slowly strolled out of Worry-Free City.

The address left by the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion was a shop, located outside Worry-Free City. Wang Sheng strolled through various shops along the way, buying a little here and a little there. Even if someone was paying attention, they wouldn't know which shop was Wang Sheng's real target.

There were quite a few shops outside Worry-Free City. Not just anyone could afford to open a shop in the city, so as long as there was no great danger, they would generally open outside the city.

The shop Wang Sheng entered was a grocery store, with only one room, and not many items. It looked very normal.

After entering, Wang Sheng ignored whether anyone was following him and handed the letter left by the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion to the slightly familiar shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took it and a bitter expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Why this expression?" Wang Sheng knew that the experts in this world had many unique skills, so he asked normally, not afraid that their words would be heard by others. Shadow Old Eunuch had such skills. If the Pavilion Master of the Exquisite Pavilion didn't even have this kind of skill, it would be a waste of his time in the Imperial City.

"For the Marquis to find his way here shows that the Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box, which my Exquisite Pavilion always thought was foolproof, is no longer so secure." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, neither fat nor thin, and his voice was very pleasant to listen to. Even when he said it with a bitter smile, it was easy to give people a sense of closeness.

"What's your name?" Wang Sheng didn't comment on this answer. For Wang Sheng, the Exquisite Imprint Box had never been a safe, it was meaningless.

"My surname is Chen." Shopkeeper Chen quickly replied: "My father is in charge of affairs in the capital."

So he and Shopkeeper Chen, who was in charge of external affairs in the capital, were father and son. No wonder their faces looked vaguely similar.

"What does the Pavilion Master mean by this?" Considering him as half an acquaintance, Wang Sheng didn't plan to stay here for long to avoid attracting the attention of those who were interested, and asked directly.

"The Pavilion Master heard some rumors from other places, saying that the Marquis could open the Four-Phases Exquisite Imprint Box. He wasn't sure, so he specially tried it out." Little Shopkeeper Chen said to Wang Sheng: "Now that it has been confirmed that the Marquis can open it, the Pavilion Master asks the Marquis to visit the Exquisite Pavilion in the capital at your convenience, as there is something to ask of you."

"You don't know what it is?" Wang Sheng was a little surprised. He was asked to come here, just to confirm whether he could open the Exquisite Imprint Box? Wasn't this a bit of an overreaction?

Little Shopkeeper Chen shook his head, indicating that he really didn't know, but he still said: "I really don't know what the Pavilion Master wants to do. However, the Pavilion Master told me to tell you that you have some trouble to solve now."

"What trouble?" Wang Sheng asked.

"The Dai family's boundary marker was made by a senior of my Exquisite Pavilion." Little Shopkeeper Chen was purely a mouthpiece, and said to Wang Sheng very politely: "After so many years, it has lost its spiritual energy. But the Dai family suspects that you have some special method to find the aura of the boundary marker, and even suspects your origins."

Wang Sheng knew only the Dai and Song families knew when he descended from the sky. Now that Song Yan would not pursue Wang Sheng's origins, then only the Dai family would definitely hold on to it. Wang Sheng had been mentally prepared for this.

"According to the information we received, the Dai family is preparing to attack you." Little Shopkeeper Chen truthfully conveyed the message: "They have made preparations. Unless you stay in Worry-Free City all the time, they will attack."

"Also, this is the news I just received, and I haven't had time to notify you yet, but you came out of Worry-Free City." Little Shopkeeper Chen said with a very apologetic tone: "This is because the Pavilion Master did not consider it carefully, and I am afraid it will put you in a dangerous situation. The Pavilion Master said that he will apologize to you for this when we meet next time."

"Are you sure your Pavilion Master is not colluding with the Dai family to deal with me?" Wang Sheng seemed not surprised at all when he heard the news, but asked Little Shopkeeper Chen curiously.

"The Pavilion Master knew you would ask this." Little Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said to Wang Sheng: "The Pavilion Master left a message saying that he owes you one. Next time we meet, if there is any assignment, he will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"How long has your Pavilion Master been gone?" Wang Sheng had already sensed the aura of a group of experts, but still asked calmly.

Little Shopkeeper Chen was stunned, and then smiled again: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The Pavilion Master was originally going to wait for you, but suddenly had an urgent matter, and only left this morning."
