Young Master Yang added:

"The ancient Kingdom of Jialan has been annihilated for sixty years, and its illusion must have been lost."

Murong Yu waved his hand, Young Master Yang bowed back.

Not long after, Wuying came in and asked:

"My Lord, do you take what Young Master Yang said as reliable?"

Murong Yu pondered for a long while, and said,

"Illusion is one of the three secret arts of the ancient Kingdom of Jialan.

Even if the descendants of Illusions are still in the world, they will not easily use illusions."

Wuying said:

"These subordinates will continue to search for news about the three secret arts."

After he stepped back, Murong Yu picked up a thin book from a cabinet.

The dim light flashed on his handsome face, the light was faint, and the shadows were brilliant.

Jialan Ancient Kingdom, he is determined to find it.

...

Fengtian Temple is a building dedicated to the ancestors and descendants of the Murong Clan.

Usually, Fengtian Temple is solemn and holy, few people come, and besides special occasions, it is very a quiet and reserved place.

This morning, many Palace people gathered in front of the temple and formed a circle.

Everyone did not dare to get close to the middle of the circle and watched the discussion keeping a certain distance.

"It's scary. What are those things?"

A court lady shrank against her companion, her face full of horror.

"It seems to be Jade,"

a servant guessed.

"It should be Blood Jade."

Another servant added,

"Once I worked as an errand in the Imperial Concubine's Zhaoyang Hall warehouse and I saw blood jade there."

"Blood Jade is extremely rare, why are there so many Blood Jade in our Fengtian Temple?

And this Blood Jade seems to be bleeding. It is terrible..."

The maid trembling with fear, dare not look at it again.

"Master Manager is here!"

Someone shouted.

The onlookers of the palace immediately opened a gap, and bowed their heads to pay respects:

"Master Manager."

The Palace Staff Chief, Liu An, majestically walked over with large strides, followed by ten little maids.

He was in his fifties. His hair was mostly gray, his face covered with fine lines was ruddy, his eyebrows were straight, showing a bit of majesty.

He flicked the dust, holding the shrill voice,

"You are all dismissed. Move away now!"

The palace people retreated one after another, and a few scattered, and went back to work.

Liu An looked at the blood jade scattered on the ground and inhaled strangely, puzzled.

He raised his voice and asked,

"What is going on? Which one was discovered first? Where is the bishop of Fengtian Temple?"

A servant who was about fifty years old walked hurriedly and bowed and said,

"Master, this humble servant works in the consecration and promotion of Fengtian Temple.

This is Xiao Yin, who is working with this servant in the Fengtian Temple.

Early this morning, the servant and him came for routine cleanings of the Hall in the Fengtian Temple and found this."

The young servant Xiao Yin next to him was about twenty years old, with beautiful eyes, red lips and white skin.

Although Liu An lowered his head, you could see from the contours of his face that he was soft and rigid.

Liu An's favored servant Xiao Yingzi whispered in his ear:

"Master, this is a big deal.

If these unlucky things appear in other palaces, it would be a great matter for the Kingdom and the reputation of Fengtian Temple, which is dedicated to worship the ancestors of the Murong Clan.

These blood jade appeared out of thin air, and so much blood was shed.

It must be no small matter. To be cautious, this subordinate thinks that it should be reported to the Concubine Xiao and the Prince Regent."

Liu An patted him on the shoulder,

"For once you are being clever..."

Xiao Yingzi reminded him well that this matter didn't matter for them directly, but could affect the reputation of the Fengtian Temple, and in case something serious happened, they couldn't afford it.

So he immediately sent someone to report to the Imperial Concubine Xiao and the Prince Regent, and since he was at it, he also sent someone to report to the Crown Prince.
