Xie Yanghui held the jade pendant tightly, and his eyes darkened. A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered what You Xiaocheng said to him when they were discussing Emperor Yong'an's life-and-death disaster in the imperial study.
"Xie Guogong, it is impossible for you to find what you are yearning for. But in the process, you will find another treasure. You should cherish this treasure and don't bring back fakes. I wish you good luck."
After repeatedly recalling You Xiaocheng's words, Xie Yanghui finally calmed down. He looked at Zhan Wenmin and said, "You are right. Before confirming the identity of this young lady, we cannot let her know our identity to avoid any future problems."
Seeing that he finally calmed down, Zhan Wenmin clasped his fists and said, "Master, what is your order?"
