Chapter 231 Preparing to Go
The Dark Dance in Su Baifeng’s hands still had some influence and capabilities. In less than half a day, she found out that a certain item in the Prime Minister’s Estate’s treasure vault, the Crystal Jade Buddha, had emerged from the Duke of Zhongyi’s Estate. The Duke of Zhongyi had ordered someone to secretly take it to the Ghost Market to sell it.
“The Duke of Zhongyi, the Empress, you really have guts…” When Su Baifeng received the news, she was so angry that she knocked over the tea set on the table. She was aware that this matter was strange. With the ability of the Duke of Zhongyi, it was impossible for him to sneak into the Prime Minister’s Estate and empty the treasure vault.
There must be someone more powerful involved, but no matter who it was, she would not let go of the Duke of Zhongyi, especially the Empress behind them.
“We’ll be heading to the Red Maple Forest a few days later. Let’s take care of the Duke of Zhongyi’s Estate first. We can’t delay the matter of the crystal mine anymore. The longer we put it off, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Since we can’t find any information about Fanjiu, we’ll use the Duke of Zhongyi’s Estate. Whether the Heavenly Saint Emperor believes me or not, the Empress’s days will surely get more difficult.”
After the treasure vault robbery, Su Baifeng changed her entire plan. She originally wanted Fanjiu to be the scapegoat, but now, she decided to push out the Duke of Zhongyi and the Empress. Although this would be much more difficult, she was willing.
No matter how Su Baifeng and the Duke of Zhongyi fought, Xue Fanxin did not care, nor could she care. She was leaving for the Red Maple Forest today to find Tomb Two of the Spacetime Emperor.
Ye Jiushang woke up early to get ready. Actually, there was not much to prepare. He just had to give some simple instructions.
“Master, the tomb of the Spacetime Emperor is extraordinary. You can’t use force, so you should bring me along.” Two shadows stood by Ye Jiushang and looked at their master.

“Ruying, Suixing, stay behind. I’ll only take Zhuri and Little Lei with me. Zhuri is a promising talent. I have the intention to nurture him,” Ye Jiushang said.
Although Ruying and Suixing really wanted to follow Ye Jiushang to search for the tomb of the Spacetime Emperor, since their master had spoken, they could only listen. They replied in unison, “Yes.”
Ye Jiushang nodded in satisfaction. Apart from being loyal, his subordinates needed to be able to follow orders. If they did not, no matter how powerful they were, he would abandon them, just like Zhuiyue.
“When I’m not around, you have to keep an eye on some people for me. Don’t let them lead too good a life, but don’t kill them either. Otherwise, my little consort won’t have any fun.”
“Yes, Your Highness. There’s one more thing I want to report to you. Recently, the four great families have successively sent people to explore the Red Maple Forest. The earliest one was the Yi family, led by their young master. Then it was the Xue family. Long before Old Master Xue died, Xue Lianfeng had already sent Xue Mochen to the Red Maple Forest. Then it was the Bai family, and finally, the Lian family. The Lian family only set off a few days ago. However, no one from the four great families has returned yet. Those people are all missing, it is unknown if they are dead or alive.”
When Ye Jiushang heard Ruying’s report, he had some guesses, but he could not be certain.
The four great families had all run into the Red Maple Forest before them. Could it be that Tomb Two of the Spacetime Emperor had appeared? If not, what could attract the interest of the four great families?
It seemed like this tomb-seeking trip would be very lively.
