Chapter 178 The Relationship Between Ye Wanlan and the Xiang Family! [2 More]
It was also because of the darkness that Director Xiang saw that there was another side to this dagger.
The moonlight fell through the hollow handle of the dagger, forming a pattern on the ground, like some kind of star disk.
Ye Wanlan moved his wrist, and the pattern on the ground also moved with it, shining brightly.
"This, this, this..." Director Xiang was shocked, "Isn't this the dagger made by King Yan? Did you enter the Qianyuan Treasury?"
The reason why Xiang Lefeng failed to get the dagger back was that when he got the news, the dagger had been sent to the Qianyuan Treasury.
How did it appear here now?
"I just planned to walk around, and luckily I found the entrance to an underground passage." Ye Wanlan was very calm, "Then I saw my dagger and brought it out by the way."
Director Xiang: "..."
Would he believe such words?
Only a fool would believe it!
The method of opening the Qianyuan Treasury was passed down from generation to generation by the Xiang family elders.
And in order to ensure absolute safety, each of the seven elders only controlled one level.
Therefore, every time the Qianyuan Treasury is opened, all the elders must be present.
How could Ye Wanlan open the Qianyuan Treasury alone and come out safely?
Director Xiang stared at Ye Wanlan, feeling very anxious. He couldn't help but said, "Do you know how to enter the Qianyuan Treasury?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Ye Wanlan had said that he came to Yunjing to clean up the family, and then Xiang Yannan was lying in a coma in the hospital.
Could it be that she was actually a member of their Xiang family? !
But if the Xiang family had someone like Ye Wanlan, how could he not know?
At this moment, Director Xiang's thoughts were in a mess, and he could not find his logic at all.
Ye Wanlan tore off the label on the dagger and threw it into the bushes: "There should be a positioning chip on this label. When they find that the dagger is not in the Qianyuan Treasury, they will find it here. Director, let's go first."
"Ah? Oh oh..." Poor Director Xiang was still dizzy and was pulled away by Ye Wanlan.
At the same time, as Ye Wanlan expected, the guards guarding the Qianyuan Treasury found that the dagger was no longer in the treasury.
This kind of thing has never happened before, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only hurriedly ask their superiors.
"Fourth Elder, something happened!" The guard leader was panicked, "Just now, the dagger of King Yan disappeared!"
"What?!" The fourth elder couldn't believe it and blurted out, "The dagger is missing?"
The elders were not gathered together, and the Qianyuan Treasury could not be opened. How could the dagger disappear?
Although the Qianyuan Treasury did not use any modern technology, the numerous traps and the Bagua formation made it impossible for even the most elite criminal gangs in the world to enter.
It was also because the Qianyuan Treasury was so safe that the Xiang family never thought of installing any surveillance system in it.
Now the dagger was suddenly lost, and even a suspect could not be found.
"It's true, Fourth Elder." The head of the guard was very panicked. "The label on the dagger was torn off. We found it in the bushes, but there was no one at the scene and no footprints were left."
"Who has been to the Xiang family today? Where is the surveillance?" The fourth elder shouted angrily.
"Today..." Butler Xiang was in a dilemma, "Only Master Yan..."
"It must have been them!" The fourth elder gritted his teeth, "Send out the guards immediately and arrest him!"
Butler Xiang was shocked: "Fourth elder, Master Yan is a good friend of Master Shao Yu, it's too rash to do it without evidence..."
"Besides them, who else came to the Xiang family to ask for the dagger openly today?" The fourth elder asked back, "I think he used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, attracting our attention in the front hall, so that his accomplice could do it."
But how did this accomplice get into the Qianyuan Treasury?
The fourth elder didn't show it on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.
If the method of opening the Qianyuan Treasury has been cracked by outsiders, it will be an extremely painful blow to the Xiang family!
He must get rid of this person before he can sleep well.
After the Fourth Elder said this, Butler Xiang was still a little hesitant: "No way..."
"Shao Yu has not yet taken the position of the head of the family, so it is inevitable that he will not be able to judge people well." The Fourth Elder said coldly, "Before the head of the family changes, get rid of these bad friends first! Guards, keep them for me."
Footsteps sounded, and in just a dozen seconds, the front hall was surrounded by a whole guard team.
Xiang Lefeng stood up suddenly: "What do you want to do?!"
"The fourth elder has ordered to arrest the thief." The guard chief said coldly, "Master Lefeng, please stand aside. Don't hurt yourself. We can't explain it."
"It's nonsense!" Xiang Lefeng was also angry, "Tingfeng was sitting here well, when did he become a thief? What did he steal?"
"The dagger disappeared, he knew it very well." The guard chief sneered, "If you stole from the Xiang family, don't think about leaving!"
Xiang Lefeng was also shocked: "The dagger is missing?"
"Noisy." Yan Tingfeng finally opened his eyes and stood up. He smiled slightly, "The dagger didn't belong to you."
"It was made by King Yan, so how can it not belong to the Xiang family? Stop talking nonsense and hand it over-"
The guard chief hadn't finished his words yet, and there was no Yan Tingfeng in front of him. Only the cup of hot tea was still emitting curling smoke.
"..."
The entire front hall was silent.
No one saw how Yan Tingfeng left the scene. They only felt a gust of wind passing by and the person disappeared.
What kind of kung fu is this?
After the head of the guards chased out, there was no one outside, and the surveillance cameras at the four doors of the Xiang family mansion did not capture any trace of Yan Tingfeng.
It seemed that in the Xiang family, he could easily enter and leave without a trace.
The eyes of the fourth elder changed: "Qinggong?"
Although the martial arts world collapsed and martial arts declined, in fact, some martial arts were still passed down, but they were not open to the whole world.
The Xiang family stood for a hundred years without falling, and it was also because they held a lot of martial arts.
But the fourth elder had only seen such Qinggong in history books.
According to historical records, on the night of the 1715th year of the Shenzhou calendar, the six evil men in the martial arts world ambushed the owner of Shenxiao Tower, but they never saw him. They only heard his flute sound from far to near and then to far away, and all died that night.
Even on the three-foot-thick snow, there was not a single footprint left, which shows that the master of Shenxiao Tower has unparalleled lightness skills and is treacherous and unpredictable.
The fourth elder's expression was a little stern: "Come back first and check if there are other people who entered the Xiang family today. Check them all. Don't pursue this Mr. Yan anymore."
"But fourth elder, if the dagger is really taken by him..." Xiang Butler asked tentatively, "Are we not going to check it?"
The fourth elder was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "This matter can only be decided after the other elders and Shao Yu come back."
He was a little regretful at this moment, why he was so impulsive before.
If he had known that Xiang Shao Yu's friend actually had internal strength and lightness skills, he would not have acted rashly.
**
Here, Yan Tingfeng and Xiang Lefeng had already met Ye Wanlan in a cafe.
He sat down: "Did you get it?"
"Yes." Ye Wanlan nodded, "They didn't pay any attention to the Qianyuan Treasury. Sorry to bother you."
"No trouble." Yan Tingfeng blinked and chuckled, "I said that all the things outside can be shared with Miss Ye. If Miss Ye needs help, I will help, not to mention it's just a small matter."
Xiang Lefeng also chased out. After hearing this conversation, he pondered for a moment before coming to his senses. He was surprised: "You were so cruel in the front hall, but it turned out to be just to attract the attention of the Xiang family?"
"Cruel?" Yan Tingfeng held the teacup, "I think I have learned to be very gentle now."
Xiang Lefeng: "..."
As soon as he entered the Xiang family, he showed his power. Isn't it cruel?
"The curator invited me to attend the auction. I will stay in Yunjing for another two days." Ye Wanlan asked, "What about you?"
"No hurry." Yan Tingfeng smiled slightly, "I'm on vacation recently, so I can accompany you."
"Did you really get the dagger?" Xiang Lefeng noticed the dagger in Ye Wanlan's hand, "You...you went into the Qianyuan Treasury? This is unscientific!"
"There are many unscientific things in the world. If you see them more often, you will get used to them." Ye Wanlan said, "I'll go back to the hotel first. Remember to take medicine on time."
Yan Tingfeng nodded in response, with gentle eyebrows.
"I think it's a bit strange. Even I don't know the method of Qianyuan Treasury." Xiang Lefeng pondered, "It is said that very advanced Qimen Dunjia, Bagua formation and mechanical skills are used. How can Miss Ye know these? Don't you think it's strange?"
"Why is it strange?" Yan Tingfeng smiled suddenly, "Don't you want to know what else she can do? I think it's very interesting."
"No, no, no, that's not the question." Xiang Lefeng was anxious, "I mean, is she related to my Xiang family? Otherwise, she has surpassed my ancestors in the use of mechanical skills."
Yan Tingfeng paused and turned his head: "I take back my words."
"What?"
"It's really wrong to compare you with Rong Yu. You are smarter than him."
Xiang Lefeng: "..."
Is this a compliment or a disparagement?
Yan Tingfeng looked out the window quietly for a few seconds, and his voice was very light: "Fourth Elder, it's time to change."
The Xiang family won't change, he will change.
See you tomorrow~~
