769 Important Discovery, Secret of the Sacred Clan

They had found everything they could in the courtyard. Yu Wan had left behind a few important pill formulas. Other than pill formulas, there was nothing else valuable here. As for the pills that could revive the dead, the old witch had added a lot of knockout medicine. It would be harmful if she took them.

“Young Master, there’s something here!”

Just as Yu Wan was about done plundering and was about to leave with Yan Jiuchao, Shadow Thirteen walked over with a heavy box.

“Shadow Six dug it out under the locust tree,” Shadow Thirteen said.

Shadow Six was a scout and was better at gathering information than everyone else. He could see through many ordinary things at a glance. However, this time, he did not discover any clues. Instead, he had a feeling that there was something under the locust tree.

“Open it,” Yan Jiuchao said.

Shadow Thirteen nodded and opened the box with his bare hands. However, to his surprise, the box was actually welded shut.

“Young Master, please wait a moment.”

Shadow Thirteen was worried that there was a mechanism inside. He took the box far away, pulled out his sword, and split it open.

A token fell out. It was dark and had complicated patterns engraved on it. At first glance, it looked a little similar to the totem of the Ghost Clan, but on closer look, it was different.

“Ah Dou, do you know this?” Yu Wan handed the token to Ah Dou, who was staring at Asura in the backyard.

Ah Dou left Asura and walked over. He took the token and looked at it. “Isn’t this… Eh? No.” He wanted to say that it was a token of the clan, but he had also realized that the totem was different.

“Who made the token? It’s so fake!” He looked around with disdain.

“Fake?” Yu Wan took the token and weighed it. “The quality is not bad.”

“Keep it first,” Yan Jiuchao said. He looked at Shadow Thirteen. “There’s also a portrait.”

Upon hearing the portrait, Shadow Six ran over eagerly. He picked up the paper in the box that was already slightly red and unfolded it to take a closer look. He was suddenly dumbfounded. “Eh?”

Yu Wan heard the surprise in his voice and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Shadow Six picked up the portrait and compared it to Yu Wan. He asked Shadow Thirteen, “Do you think the woman in the portrait looks a little similar to Madam?”

Shadow Thirteen looked at the portrait and then at Yu Wan. He frowned strangely. “It’s indeed somewhat similar.”

“Young Master, look.” Shadow Six brought the portrait over.

Yan Jiuchao’s gaze landed on the portrait.

From the degree of yellowing of the handwriting and paper, the portrait was quite old. It was obvious that the person in the portrait was not Yu Wan, but there was a hint of Yu Wan between her eyebrows. Or rather, there was a hint of the person in the portrait between Yu Wan’s eyebrows.

That was strange, wasn’t it?

“Could it be… Madam?” Shadow Six said.

The “Madam” he mentioned was Madam Jiang, but Madam Jiang and Yu Wan were eighty percent similar, and this portrait was only twenty to thirty percent similar, so it could be deduced that it was not Madam Jiang.

“Maybe it’s just someone who looks similar,” Shadow Thirteen guessed.

This made sense. Bai Qianli also looked a little like Prince Yan, but the two of them had nothing to do with each other. Yu Wan’s similarity to the woman in the portrait might be just a coincidence.

“Wait.” Just as Shadow Thirteen was about to put the portrait back into the box, Yan Jiuchao suddenly grabbed his hand.

Yan Jiuchao took out a box of powder, mixed it with water, and gently sprinkled it on the portrait. After the water dried up, the portrait on the paper disappeared and was replaced by a public map. The public map did not label the location, but Yan Jiuchao, Shadow Thirteen, and Shadow Six still recognized the terrain.

“Young Master, doesn’t this look like the Gobi we went through? We’re at the bottom of the cliff, which is this place,” Shadow Thirteen said, pointing at the map.

Ah Dou looked at him in admiration. No way? He had lived in the Gobi for ten years, why couldn’t he tell where he was!!!

Yan Jiuchao nodded. “It’s here.”

“This is the Feiyu Manor.” After knowing where the bottom of the cliff was on the map, Yu Wan also deduced where the Feiyu Manor was on the map. “But where is this?”

Was it the Ghost Clan, or somewhere other than the Ghost Clan?

“Ah Dou.” Yu Wan looked at Ah Dou.

Ah Dou was dumbfounded. Don’t ask me, I don’t know!

Yu Wan said, “Forget it, keep it first. We’ll slowly study it when we get up.”

Yan Jiuchao nodded.

“Asura.” Yu Wan gave him all the medical books.

Asura happily hugged it in his arms.

Ah Dou was even more dumbfounded. Was it an illusion? Was he seeing things? He actually saw this Asura smile? Could Asura smile too?

They had followed the mountain path down. They could just return the way they came. As for the children, they knew the way out after hearing from Ah Dou that there was a village nearby. It was not easy to take care of oneself in life. Moreover, this group of children even wanted to kill Yu Wan. Yu Wan would not find trouble for herself.

After everything was arranged, the group embarked on the path back to the forbidden area. Along the way, Yan Jiuchao was very silent. Yu Wan had been his wife for so long. When she saw him like this, she knew that he had something on his mind, so she asked him, “What are you thinking about?”

“About the portrait,” Yan Jiuchao said.

“Young Master, be careful.” Shadow Thirteen led the way. “There’s wood.”

“Okay.” Yan Jiuchao raised his foot in time and stepped over the piece of wood.

Yu Wan was held by him and easily stepped over. “What’s wrong with the portrait?”

Yan Jiuchao pondered for a moment and said, “That courtyard was originally left behind by that goddess. Do you think this portrait has anything to do with her?”

Yu Wan thought for a while. “You mean… the person in the portrait is the Goddess that Manor Master Ji’s friend has seen?”

“There’s only one possibility. We guessed that the person in the painting was the Goddess, and we also guessed that the Goddess was the descendant of the Saintess. If both guesses are correct, then you look similar to her. Will…” At this point, Yan Jiuchao paused.

Yu Wan continued his words. “Could it be that I’m also a descendant of the Saintess? If that’s the case, then that’s great. My blood can be your medicinal primer!”

Yan Jiuchao said, “Don’t you think that’s very unlikely?”

Yu Wan looked at the sky.

Her father was Yu Shaoqing, Helian Beiyu. The Helian family’s genealogy had been passed down from generation to generation. She remembered all eighteen generations of ancestors clearly. It was impossible for Old Madam and Bull Egg to be the descendants of the Saintess, so the bloodline on her father’s side could be eliminated. As for her mother, her father was the Emperor, so it was even more impossible for the royal bloodline to be the descendants of the Saintess.

...

The only one left was Consort Yun.

Consort Yun was the daughter of a concubine of the Shen family. She could also eliminate Old Master Shen’s bloodline, but that peerless concubine…

As she was only a concubine, her background was not as clear as his first wife. She was sure that she was extremely beautiful. Otherwise, she would not have given birth to a daughter as beautiful as Consort Yun. However, she was not accepted into the manor and had always been raised outside the manor as an outsider.

Someone said she was a lunatic. There were several times when she almost strangled her children to death. Old Master Shen couldn’t bear it, so he brought Consort Yun back to the manor and handed her over to Old Mrs. Shen to raise.

After Consort Yun entered the palace, she cut off all contact with the Shen family. Yu Wan naturally did not interact with the Shen family.

Consort Yun never mentioned her biological mother.

Yu Wan only learned from her uncle that Consort Yun’s biological mother had died of illness when she was a few years old. Her uncle had never seen her, but the servants he had seen had all said that Consort Yun’s biological mother was even more beautiful than the fairy in the sky.

Yu Wan patted her head. She was really desperate. What was she thinking about? Just because she was beautiful, she could guess that she was the descendant of the Saintess. Then Shangguan Yan was also beautiful, but Yan Jiuchao was even more beautiful!

Yu Wan did not dare to give herself too much hope, afraid that she would suffer an unbearable disappointment. “What I say now is nonsense. Let’s go back and ask Grandma.”

The group climbed the mountain path for more than half a day and finally arrived at the forbidden area. However, there was no sign of Grandma and the others at the place they had agreed on. Only Old Cui was squatting there with the first aid kit in his arms.

Yu Wan frowned. “Where did Grandma and the others go?”

...

Old Cui said with a sobbing tone, “They were taken away by the Ghost Clan. Princely Heir Yan went to look for you just now, but we were discovered. That group of people reported to the so-called King without a word. The… the King sent… sent his personal guards to capture them…”

“Why didn’t they capture you too?” Ah Dou asked.

Old Cui glared at him as if he was looking at a fool. “Is there a need to say that? They asked me to stay and pass a message to ‘Madam’! If you want to save someone, use yourself to exchange!”
