Imperial Treasure

Chapter 690 - 436 New Foreign Language, People at Feet_2

"Ah~ Although I’ve always been open-minded, I must admit that some gentlemen who seem proper are indeed harsh and contradictory to their noble demeanor... The dead, however, are the quietest and most mannered.."

Having said that, Ming Lanyuan stood up, the two men in black guarding The Gate opened it, watching over Ming Lanyuan as he left..

"Very well, now that the lady eating chips has left, Young Master Cao, let us begin..."

A mobile phone appeared in front of Cao Yu.

Meanwhile, in a certain cathedral.

Xiao Xianting followed Sui Yi through the cathedral’s spacious and mural-laden corridor, where stained glass cast flamboyant light, illuminating the wall paintings..

Sui Yi slowly looked over them, stopping finally in front of a poem..

Looking from top to bottom...

Then, turning his head, he looked at Xiao Xianting, "You are free now, won’t you leave?"

"I thought I could still do something for you."

"It shouldn’t be necessary anymore."

The bells tolled, eight o’clock in the morning.

It seemed as if it was fated.. or perhaps she really was like a deity.

The sound of the bells echoed through the vast cathedral, Xiao Xianting saw her standing under an open grand window, next to a huge painting of Jesus’s Passion..

She stretched out her hand, raising it mid-air, and a large flock of white doves cascaded from the grand window, white and boundless, rustling loudly.

Like a wave crashing down from a vast ocean...

One of the doves landed on her arm.

Xiao Xianting was stunned when he saw her take out a rolled-up small paper from her pocket and tie it to the dove’s leg while Sui Yi tapped the glass window, clang!

All the doves suddenly flew up...

Taking that paper with them, departing.

He didn’t understand, yet seemed to, perhaps he could say he grasped her method, but not how she accomplished it.

But he noticed her lips moved slightly, uttering faint odd words.

He was sure it was not any foreign language or dialect he knew of..

"Do you understand how to train doves?"

Sui Yi’s gaze was downcast, her tone indifferent, "I’ve recently started learning a foreign language."

That witchcraft scroll contained a kind of beast language, belonging to eccentric and unconventional methods, but unexpectedly effective.

Especially when all their communication devices were under strict surveillance.

But to Xiao Xianting, the idea of another language felt ridiculous.

"You have broader interests than I imagined.."

"An extra language never hurts.. Aren’t you leaving yet?"

"I honestly thought you wanted me to come with you because you had something to confide, just say it, anything I can do.." Xiao Xianting said earnestly and sincerely.

Sui Yi looked at him, her gaze deep.. and somewhat inexplicable.

"I didn’t mean that."

Xiao Xianting also saw the seriousness in Sui Yi’s demeanor and frowned: "Then why did you allow me to come with you..."

"Your legs are your own; I don’t have the right to refuse."

"...."

Her implication was: Follow if you want, what’s it to me?

Xiao Xianting twitched his mouth, feeling as though he’s pulling at his own crotch. Embarrassing!

Is my worth really this low!!

"Have I lost all value?" he frowned.

"Because you have already contributed.. " At least half of the value coordinates, Sui Yi murmured secretly.

"Let’s go, they should be arriving soon.."

"Hide and then surveil them?"

"In this game, no one can surpass their surveillance capabilities on either side, any personal surveillance is a joke.."

Sui Yi said as she walked out of the cathedral..

And Xiao Xianting still had one question in mind.

—Who had Sui Yi just sent the message to? Moreover, it seemed her visit was not merely for sending a message.

Xiao Xianting had an inexplicable feeling.

She was here for another purpose, undoubtedly.

As the two left the cathedral, a shadow emerged from the corner’s darkness, watching them leave, then turned back to the spot where Sui Yi had paused with the doves..

From underneath the first row of seats, a small paper was retrieved from a drawer.

Opened.

On it was a line of extremely elegant and spirited writing.

—"The place you come from, is where it lies, help them."

——————

Whether Xiao Xianting was really that bored or perceptive, he chose not to leave but to return to the villa with Sui Yi, only to see the atmosphere was eerie upon entering.

Indeed, there was an added body on the living room floor.

They soon learned his identity.

Zheng Yu, set for an interrogation, had been assassinated.

Just as he went to the bathroom, and Yue Beiqing went to find him, they discovered he was dead.. killed just then!

The murderer was nowhere to be found, Yue Beiqing’s face a haze of fog, his breath cold..

Seeing Sui Yi and the other enter, he slightly retracted his coldness, saying, "It seems our prior analysis had some gaps"
