Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 743 Chat before opening the box

Gu Xun held the copper box obtained from Yan Dan in his hand and walked happily along the Weishui River, heading north.

Not long after, they walked out of the bustling palace area and arrived at the slightly remote suburbs of Xianyang.

It is said to be a suburb, but there are not many residents here, but the prosperity is slightly less prosperous.

After Concubine Yan returned to Xianyang with Gu Xun, she did not follow Gu Xun's suggestion and live in the Imperial Master's Mansion. Instead, she found a small single-family courtyard to live here.

Gu Xun is here to find her now.

Arriving at Concubine Yan's residence, Gu Xun didn't bother to knock on the door and jumped in without covering up the noise he made.

Concubine Yan immediately walked out of the house after hearing the sound. At first glance, she saw that the person was Gu Xun, and she relaxed and lowered her guard. However, when she glanced at the copper box in Gu Xun's hand for the second time, her expression returned. Becoming a little nervous again.

"This box..."

Hearing this, Gu Xun raised his hand and said, "This is from Yan Dan."

After receiving this answer, Concubine Yan was not surprised where Gu Xun suddenly found the copper box.

As for why Yan Dan gave the box to Gu Xun...it must be because of his previous escape.

No need to think about it.

At the same time, she also roughly guessed the reason why Gu Xun came to find her.

"Do you want me to open this box?"

"Can you do it?" Gu Xun nodded unceremoniously.

Concubine Yan gave Gu Xun an unexpected reply, "I can't do it."

"Ah? I thought you had a way to open it..." Gu Xun scratched his head in surprise.

Concubine Yan explained, "Donghuang... Taiyi did teach me how to open the copper box, but it can only be opened a little."

"A little bit? What kind of operation is this?" Gu Xun looked at Concubine Yan in surprise and then at the box.

He even had the illusion that Concubine Yan was playing tricks on him again...

"This method can only shake the copper box slightly to expose a slight gap, which can be used to check whether the box is complete."

"Donghuang Taiyi once said that the box cannot be truly opened before the time comes." Concubine Yan further explained.

"Ah..." Gu Xun nodded suddenly. This really can only be opened a little bit.

"It doesn't matter, just open a crack. How to do it?"

"You have to wait until night, observe the stars, and cooperate with the zodiac chart." Concubine Yan replied.

"You can wait until night... It's fine. There's no rush anyway." Gu Xun then asked, "Do you still need a stargazing instrument?"

"No need." Concubine Yan shook her head.

If you are just observing the stars and not practicing astrology, you do not necessarily need the assistance of stargazing instruments.

Moreover, after her trip to Shushan, she became more and more skilled in Soul Xilongyou, and her Yin Yang technique had officially entered the fifth level of Soul Changing, and her dependence on stargazing instruments had been greatly reduced.

"That's good." Gu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

If he still needed a stargazer, he would have to 'borrow' one from Yin Yang's house.

Although it was still early before nightfall, Gu Xun did not leave first. He sat down on the stone bench in the small courtyard and chatted:
  "How's it going? Has anyone from the Yin Yang family been looking for you recently?"

Concubine Yan walked to the opposite side of Gu Xun, sat down, and replied hesitantly, "The Moon God once came to see me..."

"What is she looking for you for?" Gu Xun asked curiously.

"No..." Concubine Yan shook her head, "She didn't do anything or say anything. She just came to see me."

"Uh..." Gu Xun pursed his lips. He was really confused about the relationship between the sisters.

But generally speaking, Concubine Yan and the Moon God at this time were far from what he saw in the anime. The God of the Moon had a considerable degree of... let's call it malicious intent towards Concubine Yan.

Nowadays, they are just a pair of sisters who are at odds with each other because they both have strong personalities.

Maybe it's because both of them are still relatively young and have relatively simple minds?
  It doesn't matter, the reason is not important anyway.

Gu Xun didn't think much about this problem and continued, "It seems that Donghuang Taiyi has remembered some of my words and stopped making random mistakes."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Concubine Yan showed a trace of confusion, "I grew up in the Yin Yang family since I was a child, but now... except for practicing meditation behind closed doors, I have nothing to do."

Gu Xun smacked his lips and replied helplessly, "That's why I told you to live in the Imperial Master's Mansion before. It's more lively there."

"It's easy to get bored if you stay alone all the time."

Concubine Yan's phoenix eyes were like daggers. She glanced sideways, gouged out Gu Xun's body, and replied lightly:

"The Imperial Master has a lovely wife and beautiful concubine in his house. He is living a happy life, but it is still inconvenient for me to disturb him."

"Hi..." Gu Xun rubbed his brows helplessly, but did not insist on forcing it, and suggested, "Otherwise, you should go back to Yin Yang's house."

"The matter of Yan Dan has been settled. After my warning, this matter has been completely overturned. If you are willing to return to the Yin Yang family, Donghuang Taiyi will definitely not refuse."

No matter what, the Yin Yang family cannot be so luxurious that they don't care about a master of Concubine Yan's level.

Due to Donghuang Taiyi's scheming government, even if they broke up with her not long ago, they could still accept Concubine Yan as if nothing had happened.

Of course, Dong Jun's name may only exist in name only.

It's a pity that Donghuang Taiyi has such a thick skin, but Concubine Yan does not.

For someone as proud as her, she obviously couldn't get over the hurdle of turning against the Yin and Yang family before, so she pretended to be nonchalant before going back.

So he shook his head and rejected Gu Xun's proposal without hesitation.

"It's impossible for me to return to Yin Yang's house again."

Gu Xun shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"You don't want to advance, and you don't want to retreat...forget it, let's just be alone first."

When Concubine Yan saw that Gu Xun would not continue talking about this topic, she also changed the topic and said, "Are you going to give this copper box to King Qin?"

When Gu Xun heard this, his eyes shifted to the copper box he placed on the stone table, "Does Donghuang Taiyi definitely need it?"

From the information he knew now, it seemed that the copper boxes were not necessary to collect.

Concubine Yan was about to answer yes subconsciously, but after thinking about it carefully, she still answered rigorously:

"As far as I know, the Yin Yang family has been searching for all the copper boxes, but I don't know if it is necessary. Donghuang Taiyi has not stated this explicitly."

Then she asked Gu Xundao, "Do you want to stop Donghuang Taiyi?"

Gu Xun looked at the copper box and shook his head, "No, it won't."

Then he added, "While Ying Zheng is still alive, I will not prevent him from approaching Canglong Qisu."

"As long as he asks for these things from me through Ying Zheng, I will not forcibly withhold them."

Concubine Yan subconsciously asked, "Then if King Qin dies..."

Gu Xun replied categorically, "The Yin Yang family will also become the dust of history!"

Concubine Yan was silent about this, and couldn't help but secretly thought that it was exactly what Donghuang... Taiyi thought. The only one who could restrain Gu Xun's behavior was King Qin Ying Zheng.
