My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 614: Even Wen Kang Was Fooled

Arriving at the top floor, the envoy greeted the two guards stationed outside the gate, "Good day, Brothers."

Glancing at the black token hung on the envoy’s waist, one of the guards recognized him. Nodding at the envoy, he said, "Brother, you are visiting again today."

The envoy nodded and explained, "I have something important to submit to the Pavilion Master. Brother, can you help me inform the Pavilion Master?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Hearing this, the guard nodded. "Please wait here."

Clasping his fists, the envoy politely responded, "Thank you, Brother."

While he was waiting outside the gate, the guard went inside. Walking into the main hall, he stopped before Yu Zhao.

Clasping his fists, the guard reported, "Pavilion Master, the envoy from yesterday is requesting an audience with you."

Without looking up from the investigation reports, Yu Zhao ordered, "Let him in."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." With that, the guard left to bring the envoy in.

After the guard left the main hall, Sha Ying rubbed his chin and said with a hint of curiosity in his voice, "The envoys are working very hard these days. They can even find things that are valuable enough to be submitted directly to you, Master."

Yu Zhao didn’t react to his words, so Sha Ying just kept his thoughts to himself.

Before long, the guard returned with the envoy following him. Clasping his fists, the guard reported, "Pavilion Master, the envoy is here."

"Mhm, leave us." Yu Zhao ordered without expression.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

After the guard left, the envoy knelt before Yu Zhao. With a lowered head, he greeted Yu Zhao, "This subordinate greets the Pavilion Master."

Looking up from the investigation report, Yu Zhao looked at the envoy and said, "Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Staring at the envoy, Yu Zhao asked, "What do you bring this time?"

Taking out the small shiny black bead from the leather pouch hung on his waist, the envoy presented it with both hands.

Without raising his head, the envoy replied, "Pavilion Master, this morning, Wen Kang requested us to help him deliver a small jade pendant to the Defender General of the imperial capital city, Fang Shou. This small black bead is the payment for that mission."

Listening to what he said, Yu Zhao leaned back on the magnificent black chair, supported his chin with his palm, then asked coldly, "Are you here just to show me that black bead?"

Noticing Yu Zhao’s displeasure, the envoy calmly asked, "Pavilion Master, have you read the old book?"

When Yu Zhao heard this, he thought for a moment, then realization flashed in his pair of cold eyes. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Bring it up."

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Receiving his permission, the envoy walked up to Yu Zhao.

Handing the black bead to Sha Ying, he turned to Yu Zhao and said, "Pavilion Master, this subordinate had inspected this black bead and found a small black dragon flying inside the bead. It’s identical to one of the ancient artifacts written in the old book."

Sha Ying handed the black bead to Yu Zhao, then waited on the side while Yu Zhao inspected it.

After listening to what the envoy said, Yu Zhao raised the small black bead and peered into it. The second he saw the mini black dragon flying inside the black bead, his usually cold eyes flashed with surprise.

Handing the black bead to Sha Ying so he could have a look, Yu Zhao looked at the envoy and asked, "Have you told anyone about this black bead?"

Shaking his head, the envoy replied, "Answering the Pavilion Master, this subordinate didn’t tell anyone about this black bead. After receiving it, this subordinate immediately returned to report to you."

Nodding in appreciation, Yu Zhao said, "You did a good job. What about the small jade pendant?"

"This subordinate had relayed the mission to the field team. Based on the close distance, the field team should have completed the mission not long after this subordinate left the imperial capital city of the Yu Empire."

Yu Zhao thought for a moment, then ordered, "Very well. You can go and get your reward. Keep an eye on the situation in the imperial capital city. If there is any movement from the Wen Clan or the royal family, inform me as soon as possible."

Clasping his fists, the envoy replied, "This subordinate accepts the order."

Waving at him, Yu Zhao said, "You may leave now."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

After the envoy left the main hall, Sha Ying placed the small black bead on the table.

Looking at Yu Zhao, he said, "Master, there is really a small black dragon inside. Do you think this black bead is a real ancient artifact?"

Yu Zhao shook his head in response to his question. "I’m not sure. However, for Wen Kang to treat this mysterious black bead with more importance than the tiger talisman, it should be real. Unless... even Wen Kang was fooled."

Nodding in agreement, Sha Ying thought for a moment, then asked, "Master, then what should we do with this black bead?"

Yu Zhao looked at the black bead placed in front of him thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "Let’s keep it for now. If what was recorded in the old book was true, then this black bead might be useful for our plan later."

Hearing this, Sha Ying responded, "Master is wise."

Standing up from his seat, Yu Zhao took the black bead, then went to touch the wall behind the seat. A few seconds later, the wall opened, and he walked inside while Sha Ying guarded the entrance.

Meanwhile, far away in the western region, Bai Hanyun turned on the mobile receiver and broadcasting tower. The second the tower was powered on, her phone received a notification.

Ding!

Hearing the notification sound, Bai Hanyun grabbed Feng Xiyan’s left hand, then opened his palm. Placing the mini tower on his palm, she said, "Help me hold this for a moment."
