Chapter 4: The Golden Dragon Treasure

  In this vast land of Daxia, there are various powerful forces and factions. Among them, two major powers maintain absolute neutrality, and neither the various kingdoms nor even the imperial court of Daxia would dare to provoke them lightly.

  One is the Holy Mystic Star Academy, two is the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank.

  The Shengxuan Star Academy is the ultimate dream of countless young men and women in Dashu, and every year, the young talents who emerge from it are sought after by both the imperial family and various factions.

  Jinlong Treasure House, on the other hand, is engaged in the business of storing and retrieving various items, as well as auctioning and exchanging them. Its financial resources are so abundant that countless powers have coveted it, but no one has ever dared to make a move against it, because Jinlong Treasure Houses power is too vast, far surpassing the imagination of any power in the Great Xia Kingdom. In this kingdom, the treasure house is only one of its branches.

  In the vast and boundless lands beyond the Great Xia Empire, the true Golden Dragon Treasure House still held a prestigious name. The Golden Dragon Tickets produced by the Golden Dragon Treasure House were said to be exchangeable for an equivalent amount of Heavenly Gold in any place where humans existed.

  Nanfeng City, as the county seat of Tian Shu County, naturally has the existence of Golden Dragon Treasure, and it is also located in the most luxurious area in the center of the city.

  As Li Luo stepped down from the carriage and gazed at the magnificent building in front of him, even though it wasnt his first time seeing it, he couldnt help but let out a sigh of admiration. Just one branch of the Golden Dragon Bank in a small county town was already this impressive; its financial resources were truly unimaginable.

  Compared with this majestic thing, even Luolans mansion seems a bit small.

  Jiang Qinge was calm and collected, her eyes didnt linger for a moment, she directly stepped forward towards the treasure hall, Li Luo quickly followed suit.

  Inside the exceptionally luxurious carriage, Jiang Qinge took out a golden ticket and handed it to a maid. The maid carefully checked it and then hastily welcomed the two into the VIP room with great respect.

  Two people waited for a moment in the VIP room, and then they saw a middle-aged fat man with a joyful smile on his face, wearing diamond rings of different colors on all ten fingers, walking in.

  "Haha, so its the young master of Luolan Prefecture and Miss Jiang who have arrived. Its truly an honor for me. I must say, those who can work at Jindragon Precious Bank are indeed sophisticated and tactful. Since they recognized Li Luo, they naturally understood his current situation, but they didnt show any neglect or arrogance. They even put Li Luo first in the order of address."

  "This is Jin Longbao, the head of Tian Shu Countys Lyu Guild." Jiang Qinge apparently knew him and introduced him to Li Luo.

  "Director Lü, take us to pick up the goods."

  After the introduction, Jiang Qing showed a style of doing things that was swift and decisive.

  Lü Huichang smiled and nodded, turning around to lead the way forward. The three of them walked through layer after layer of gates, finally seeming to have gone deep underground.

  Under the guidance of Director Lü, the last three people arrived in a completely enclosed room. The stone walls were dark and smooth, like mirrors.

  Lü Huichang stretched out his palm and gently patted the smooth stone wall. Suddenly, the wall began to crack open, and a metal box made of unknown metal slowly protruded from it.

  "Two of you, this is what the two masters left here at that time. To open it, the young master must come in person and use fresh blood as the key." Lü Huizhang said with a smile, then he consciously exited the room.

  Li Luo stared at the safe in front of him, lost in thought for a moment. He had no idea what his parents were being so mysterious about, or what they had left for him.

  But for some reason, he felt that this thing was extremely important to him, and if he couldnt get it, his future would be changed.

  He took a deep breath, stepped forward two steps, stretched out his palm and pressed it against the safe. Suddenly, he felt a stinging sensation on his fingertips, as if a drop of fresh blood was being drawn in and sucked into the safe.

  Crack crack!

  The next moment, a mechanical sound suddenly came from the safe that was like one body, followed by a faint glow on the surface of the box, and then it slowly cracked open from the middle.

  As the safe cracked open, its contents finally fell into Li Luos eyes.

  It was a pitch-black crystal ball, the crystal ball was extremely smooth, reflecting Li Luos face, vaguely showing some mystery.

  "This is..." Li Luo blinked his eyes.

  "Put it away for now. Master and Mistress said that you can open it again on your 17th birthday." Jiang Qinge handed over a suitcase.

  Li Luo nodded slightly, carefully took out the black crystal ball and put it in the box, then grasped it tightly, his eyes seeming to be a little moist.

  "Whats wrong?" Jiang Qinge looked over in puzzlement.

  "I have a premonition, Im about to turn things around, exciting."

  Li Luo swung her suitcase and solemnly said to Jiang Qinge: "Wait for me, I will definitely succeed in breaking off the engagement!"

  “......”

  Jiang Qinge didnt bother to argue with him, and directly turned around to walk towards the outer room of the secret chamber. She knew that Li Luos emotions were a bit turbulent at this time, so she didnt want to provoke him further.

  The two came out of the underground storage room and met Lv Hui Zhang again, but this time, a lovely girl was standing beside him.

  The maiden wore a green dress, her slender figure was tall and elegant, her appearance was extremely delicate. Her dark hair cascaded down to her tiny waist like a waterfall, her eyes were bright and deep, her skin was most striking, it had a crystal clear whiteness, as if she had truly icy skin and jade bones.

  In addition, her hands were covered with gloves as thin as silk, and even with the gloves covering them, one could still feel the slender length of her jade fingers. It was likely that if she were to remove the gloves, those jade-like hands would be so captivating that people would be mesmerized by their beauty.

  In terms of looks and temperament, the girl in front of me is obviously better than Tifa I saw before.

  However, when Li Luo saw her, his face was slightly unnatural for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

  "Hehe, this is my little niece, Lü Qinger. Shes currently studying at Nanfeng Academy and has a lot of admiration for Miss Jiang. She insisted on coming to meet you, so I hope you wont mind." Lü Hui Zhang smiled and bowed slightly towards Jiang Qinge.

  "Nice to meet you, Elder Sister Jiang." Lü Qinger gave a polite and elegant bow to Jiang Qinge.

  Jiang Qinge sized up Lü Qinger, nodded slightly and said: "Since you are also cultivating at Nanfeng Academy, then shouldnt you know Li Luo?"

  Lü Qinger glanced at Li Luo beside her, smiled lightly and nodded slightly, her eyes deep and mysterious: "In the past, Li Luo had taught me divination techniques, Ive always been grateful to him, but in these two years, he seems to not want to see me."

  Li Luowens face suddenly showed an awkward smile, and he hastily laughed: "No, no, dont talk nonsense, we just belong to different courts, its rare to meet each other."

  In his heart, however, some helplessness arose. The Lü Qinger in front of him had a reputation at Nanfeng Academy that surpassed Tifa Qīngs Golden Flower by a whole level, because she was not only beautiful, but also the new face of Nanfeng Academy, and even in that academy where talents emerged in droves, she was undoubtedly the number one person.

  In the past, Li Luoshang was in a courtyard when many students had not yet opened their Xiang Gong. His innate talent and enlightenment in Xiang Shu made him a standout in the courtyard, so many students would come to ask for his guidance, including Lyu Qinger who stood before him.

  The relationship between the two was actually pretty good at the time.

  It wasnt until later that those incidents occurred, and after Li Luo was kicked out of the First House and went to the Second House, the relationship between them became much more awkward.

  Of course, the main reason is that Li Luo has been avoiding Lü Qinger. This isnt because he dislikes her, but rather because its really awkward when they meet. After all, in the past, he was the number one person in the hospital, and now Lü Qinger has taken his place...

  Li Luo was also a proud young man. In order to avoid that awkward situation, he generally avoided Lü Qinger in the academy.

  I didnt expect to run into you here today.

  In response to Li Luos somewhat perfunctory words, Lü Qinger neither confirmed nor denied them, but instead shifted her gaze to Jiang Qinge and began chatting with her in a soft smile.

  Finally they sent Jiang Qinge and Li Luo to the gate of Bao Xing.

  "Hehe, Miss Jiang, I heard that the Luolan Mansion will be quite lively these next two days." When parting ways, Director Lü said with a smile, hinting at something.

  Jiang Qinges expression was calm and she said, "Director Lüs information is indeed accurate."

  "What a pity."

  Lü Huichang sighed and said: "In the future, if theres anything that requires cooperation, you two can come to me at any time. Jinlongbao values harmony and believes that harmony generates wealth."

  Li Luo looked puzzled beside her, but didnt ask anything else and followed Jiang Qinge onto the carriage, quickly leaving.

  Lü Huichang stroked his oily chubby face, glanced at Lü Qinger beside him, and found that her watery double pupils were staring in the direction where the carriage had left.

  "Cough."

  Lü Huichang suddenly coughed and said: "Im saying, girl, you, you dont have a crush on Li Luo, do you?"

  Lü Qingers eyes widened slightly, and she said in a soft voice: "I just feel sorry for Li Luo, and besides, he did point out my divination skills back then. As for Li Luo, I only have some admiration for him from before. If it werent for the Empty Fate, he would be my greatest competitor at Nanfeng Academy."

  Lü Huìzhǎng patted his chest, let out a sigh of relief and said: "Thats good, thats good... Qīngér, someone with an engagement on their hands is not worth your attention. With your conditions, this Dà Xià youngster isnt worthy of you."

  Lü Qinger shook her head and ignored Lü Huis muttering to himself, directly leading Xiang Feng away, leaving behind Lü Hui who was standing in place rubbing his head with a silly smile.
