He wanted to say that no one here should know what that thing was. Of course, except for Yue Suiyu, who was sent to the Zhanling Military Camp. She should know, right?

But even if she knew, she had already been sent away.

“So you really don’t know.” An Jiuyue chuckled.

How could he dare come searching for something he had no idea about? He was really… incredible!

However, Young Master Nie had no choice. Even if he did not want to look for it, he had to if the Yueming Emperor asked him to. “Then how are you planning to find it?”

“By intuition.” Young Master Nie chuckled.

“Madam Qian, you don’t know about this, but I’m the most inconspicuous son of a concubine in the Nie family’s collateral branch. However, I was born with a special sensitivity for treasures, so I gained the Yueming Emperor’s recognition.

“After that, Master Nie brought me to the main family as his legitimate son to help the Emperor find treasures. I’ve searched for many things before and proved my abilities to the Emperor.

“This time, the Emperor asked Yue Suiyu to take me to Scorching Rock Peak. All I know is that there is a Heavenly Material on Scorching Rock Peak, but I don’t know what it is.”

“Is that so? You’re quite pitiful, ” An Jiuyue remarked.

He was indeed pitiful. He was the one who found all the treasures, but he could not have any of them as they were given to someone else.

Although Young Master Nie did not respond to her remark, he agreed with her in his heart.

Regardless, his life was saved. As long as the Emperor still wanted the treasure, he would not do anything to him. The Nie family only dared to do whatever they wanted in the capital because they knew this.

“Although I don’t know what that Heavenly Material is, I know it’s protected by a very powerful seal. I can only sense it when the seal is at its weakest. The Yueming Emperor personally told me this,” he said.

He could sense the other heavenly materials and treasures once he got close to them. The only treasure that had proven difficult to find was the one that the Yueming Emperor had been after.

“We’ve been to Scorching Rock Peak many times. This is the only time we’ve clearly sensed the whereabouts of that thing.”

An Jiuyue glanced at Qian Jiyun and raised her eyebrows.

It seems like the Yueming Emperor was determined to obtain the Soul of the Divination Jade. How long has he been plotting to harm others? Qian Jiyun did not waste his breath and said, “Lead the way.”

“Alright, alright,” Young Master Nie replied repeatedly.

He was relieved to know that nothing would happen to his people as long as he led them to that thing.

In any case, anyone could have that thing. However, once Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue got that thing, he and his guards would never be able to return to Yueming Empire.

But why would everyone care?

Even if they took the thing and returned safely, given the Yueming Emperor’s viciousness, would they be able to live a long time since they knew his secret?

Death was only a matter of time.

Time passed slowly as they searched for the Soul of the Divination Jade. It was not until the next morning that Young Master Nie finally sensed its whereabouts.

“Why do I feel that this thing is ominous?”
