1358 Sacrificial Items

Knowing that Xia Wanyuan had arrived in Linxi, Wei Jin, who was now the head of the Wei family, rushed to the hotel.

When she arrived, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up and was leaning on the sofa with a blanket around her. She was as beautiful as ever, but in Wei Jin’s opinion, Xia Wanyuan seemed to have an even gentler temperament.

“Cousin,” Wei Jin went forward and called out to Xia Wanyuan.

“Mm, you’re here.” Xia Wanyuan sat up and smiled at Wei Jin. “How has the Wei family been recently?”

“With your help, everything is still smooth.” Wei Jin nodded. “If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you more.”

“Okay.”

It was raining heavily outside, but the room was as warm as spring.

During this period of time, in order to integrate the Wei family in the north and south, Wei Jin had been extremely tense.

However, sitting beside Xia Wanyuan, Wei Jin seemed to relax.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan sitting quietly on the sofa, Wei Jin could not hide the envy in her eyes. “Cousin, when can I become someone like you?”

Xia Wanyuan looked at Wei Jin in confusion. “What?”

Wei Jin smiled. “I want to be like you, Cousin. No matter what happens, I can calm people down.”

Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment, her eyes curved slightly.

Outside the room, Mu Feng and Jun Shiling sat opposite each other.

“Have you decided?” Jun Shiling looked at Mu Feng.

The Mu family and the Jun family had been on good terms for generations. Mu Feng and Jun Shiling’s relationship was not that close, but Mu Feng had grown up with Jun Shiling.

Now, Mu Feng, who was sitting in front of Jun Shiling, had already abandoned the clothes and decorations that used to walk at the front of fashion and changed into a proper suit.

His silver hair was still there, but it was less carefree and unrestrained. It was more stable and heavy.

As time passed, responsibility and burden finally changed Mu Feng into a different person.

“I’ve decided.” Mu Feng nodded slightly. “If the mountain doesn’t come, the water will come. If the water goes, the mountain will come. The Wei family has developed in the south for so long. They definitely won’t go to the north to develop again.”

Wei Jin was already permanently living in the south, and the Wei family in Beijing had already moved back to the south with her.

Ever since Mu Feng inherited the Mu family, he had been wondering if he should stay in Beijing to develop or bring the Mu family to the south to develop again.

If they stayed in Beijing, the Mu family would have already accumulated a lot of resources there. It would be much easier to do all sorts of things. However, there was the Jun family and the Jiang family in Beijing. No matter how the Mu family developed, they were still limited.

If he moved to the south, he could help Wei Jin. However, the south had no foundation, and his future challenges would be much more serious.

Initially, Mu Feng had been conflicted until one rainy night, in the strong wind and heavy rain, Mu Feng drove to pick up Wei Jin, who had worked overtime late at night.

Seeing the thin and delicate Wei Jin standing alone at the entrance of the company, Mu Feng immediately made up his mind.

Wherever Wei Jin was, he would be there. No matter what the future was, he only wanted to appear by Wei Jin’s side as soon as possible when she needed him.

“Okay, then I wish you success.” Jun Shiling nodded at Mu Feng.

Only when there was destruction could there be construction. Jun Shiling believed that if Mu Feng and Wei Jin joined forces, they could bite down on Jiangnan, a difficult place.

Wei Jin and Mu Feng were both very busy. The two of them sat in the hotel for a while before leaving.

It was already dark. Xia Wanyuan stood by the window and watched the two of them leave together. She suddenly felt a little emotional.

“Time is really a magical thing. It seems to be able to change everything.”

Ever since she was pregnant and what had happened to Emperor Xia Yuan, Xia Wanyuan had sometimes become very emotional. Jun Shiling looked down at her. “No, some things won’t change.”

Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun Shiling and met the deep meaning in his eyes. Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Mm.”

The rainy night helped her sleep. That night, under the pattering rain, Xia Wanyuan slept quite well.

In the heavy rain, someone was running through the rain.

In the Lin family, Lin Qingyuan sat in the living room, drinking tea and looking at the rain outside the eaves.

Someone rushed over from the front courtyard and broke the silence.

“Family Head.” The person was wearing a raincoat and his face was covered in rain. Worried that the rain on his body would wet the carpet, he stood outside the door and did not enter.

“Tell me.”

“Our people searched the entire warehouse but didn’t find a similar jade pendant. Furthermore, that main coffin is empty. There’s no corpse at all.”

Lin Qingyuan’s hand that was holding the teacup paused. “Have they been taken away by Jun Shiling and the rest?”

“I don’t think so. When Jun Shiling and the rest arrived at the ancient tomb, our people were following them. At that time, the coffin was empty…”

“I understand. Continue to watch.” Lin Qingyuan waved his hand. “You can leave.”

“Yes.” The person left in a hurry.

The courtyard returned to silence, but Lin Qingyuan’s mood of drinking tea was gone. He pushed the teacup aside and narrowed his eyes when he thought of the prophecy that had been passed down in his family.

Now, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan must be looking for that thing too. I must not let them find it first.

If he wanted to bring the Lin family to become the number one family in China, that thing definitely had to be his.

The rain fell the entire night and did not stop until the next morning.

Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went to the warehouse where the collection was stored in the heavy rain.

A large number of burial items were piled up. Xia Wanyuan slowly looked at them.

When she saw the bamboo slips that still had words, Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at them for a while.

“Only you should be able to understand these words.” Jun Shiling stood beside Xia Wanyuan. “What does it say?”

Xia Wanyuan scanned it and felt a little strange. “It’s just a book of geography. There’s nothing important recorded.”

Emperor Xia Yuan had always liked all kinds of books. Presumably, this was the book he liked more when he was alive, so he brought it to the mausoleum.

Xia Wanyuan did not take it to heart. She put the geography book aside and looked at the other things again.

They were all very normal burial items. Xia Wanyuan did not notice anything special, but she felt a little strange when she saw the sacrificial items.

Because it had been a long time, coupled with all sorts of oxidation, the things on the sacrificial offering were already blurry. Very few could see the patterns clearly.

However, through various pieces, Xia Wanyuan saw a small mark on most of the sacrifices.

It had been so long that the details of the mark could not be seen clearly, but this outline reminded Xia Wanyuan of the time when she seemed to have returned to ancient times.

At that time, when she was following Emperor Xia Yuan and the black-robed man, she would occasionally see the wind blow at the black-robed man’s sleeves. On his arm, there seemed to be such a similar mark.

“Bring these things back. I want to study them again.” Xia Wanyuan pointed at the pile of sacrificial items in front of her.
