Chapter 226: Transaction Successful
Transaction Successful
Even if she didn't care about her appearance, Nie Jinxuan was still a woman, a young woman, so being told this by a man she met for the first time, Nie Jinxuan would naturally be angry.
But at this time, hearing this, Gong Wuyai raised his eyebrows and looked Nie Jinxuan up and down again.
"Hmph~! You are quite sharp-tongued, but even if you turn into a cup of yellow earth, so what? Ugly is ugly, that is a fact!"
Completely ignoring Nie Jinxuan's anger, Gong Wuyai continued to be annoying without drafting. But afterward, after the words fell, Gong Wuyai's eyebrows relaxed, and he hooked his hair with his hand.
"However, you were really right just now. This seat came here this time, although on one hand, I wanted to see who was looking for this seat every day, on the other hand, it was to see you~!"
The unique voice carried a trace of intoxicating laziness. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who had been angry until her face turned green, was stunned.
"What does Hall Master Gong mean by this..."
"It doesn't mean anything? Just watching the fun! The big ice block said the person the boss was waiting for had appeared, so naturally, this seat had to come and see... It's just that it's a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be looking for this seat~!"
Before, when Leng Tianfang left, he had mentioned that she was the person his master was waiting for, and had been waiting for more than twenty years. And now this Gong Wuyai actually mentioned 'the boss'... Could it be that they were talking about the Underworld Night Palace Master?! But she was a stranger to the Underworld Night Palace Master, why would the other party be looking for her?!
So, at this time, hearing Gong Wuyai mention this matter again, Nie Jinxuan became even more puzzled and curious.
"Uh... may I ask Hall Master Gong, there is one thing Jinxuan has never understood. May I ask what the purpose is for your Palace Master to look for Jinxuan..."
"I don't know!"
Gong Wuyai answered quickly, without even a trace of hesitation. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned, but afterward, she saw Gong Wuyai spread his hands.
"This seat really doesn't know. But it is true that she has been waiting for you for more than twenty years. As for the specific situation, this seat doesn't know either!"
Speaking of which, this matter had to start from when Baili Xiaole broke into the Underworld Night Palace back then. At that time, Baili Xiaole had said that in this life, she could not see through three people: one was herself, one was the Palace Master Xia Weiyang, and the other was in Dongling twenty years later!
Of course, for the words of his own divine stick wife, Gong Wuyai was too lazy to pay attention. Although she had never calculated wrong, this matter really didn't interest him, Gong Wuyai. But for some reason, Palace Master Xia Weiyang had taken this matter to heart. And this made Gong Wuyai feel somewhat strange, so last time when he heard Leng Tianfang say that he had already found this person in Dongling, Gong Wuyai naturally had to run over to see what kind of sacred person the other party was!
Gong Wuyai's words did not seem false, but Nie Jinxuan became more and more confused. But afterward, Nie Jinxuan suddenly remembered that this was not the time to talk about these things, so she sat down beside Gong Wuyai and asked in a low voice:
"Hall Master Gong, since you are here, there is one thing Jinxuan wants to ask you..."
Nie Jinxuan got to the point. At this time, Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fenglian saw that Gong Wuyai had no malice, so they sat down as well. But at this time, hearing Nie Jinxuan's words, Gong Wuyai instantly raised his eyebrows and glanced at her with his peach-blossom eyes.
"What do you want to ask this seat? It wouldn't be about the mask, would it? But this seat can tell you, this seat will not easily say who the buyer is!"
Clearly, Gong Wuyai had already guessed Nie Jinxuan's purpose, so he had already sealed the words in advance. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was indeed stunned, but afterward, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Then... does Hall Master Gong not want that Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan anymore?"
Although it was their first meeting, Nie Jinxuan had already grasped Gong Wuyai's temper somewhat. And hearing this, Gong Wuyai, who had been leisurely and lazy, indeed moved his expression and turned to look at Nie Jinxuan.
"Are you threatening this seat?"
"Hall Master misunderstood, Jinxuan just wants to know if this deal can still be made with Hall Master Gong!"
"..."
Nie Jinxuan finally grasped Gong Wuyai's weak point. At this time, Gong Wuyai indeed pursed his lips, looked at her quietly, but did not speak for a long while. Then after a long while, Gong Wuyai's eyes moved.
"You speak nicely, but didn't you say before that the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan belongs to the Emperor? Are you sure you can get it out from the Emperor? This seat tells you, this seat likes good things, but never does theft. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to go to such trouble. Of course, this seat disdains doing things, and you had better not do them either. This seat does not accept stolen goods!"
With Gong Wuyai's light martial arts, what in this world could he not get?! It was just that Gong Wuyai disdained doing so, because it did not fit his aesthetics at all!
Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was indeed stunned, but in the moment she turned her eyes, she smiled again.
"Hall Master Gong has good character, rest assured. Jinxuan will definitely not trap Hall Master in injustice. That Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan will definitely be presented to the Hall Master in a legitimate way!"
Nie Jinxuan said confidently, her beautiful face filled with indescribable confidence. So, meeting her eyes, Gong Wuyai raised his eyebrows instantly, and then smiled like a flower.
"Alright! Then this seat will wait for the good news!"
After speaking, Gong Wuyai looked at Nie Jinxuan again, then flashed, and disappeared before Nie Jinxuan's eyes as if he had evaporated from the world.
Gong Wuyai left. In the blink of an eye, the room became quiet again, but afterward, not long after, Yin Fenglian frowned and looked at Nie Jinxuan.
"Princess Consort, the words you said just now were a bit big! That Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan is Father Emperor's beloved object, are you sure you can get it out from Father Emperor's hands?"
Yin Fenglian was somewhat worried. And at this time, Nie Jinxuan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"That Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan, neither you nor I can naturally get it out. However, there is one person who can!"
"Who?"
"Fifth Imperial Uncle!"
Speaking the three words quietly. Afterward, Nie Jinxuan stood up directly, called Shui Yun, and went directly out of the palace to the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng's mansion!
Actually, ever since opening Prince Xiang's tomb to examine the corpse last time, Nie Jinxuan had discovered that the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng, had deep feelings for his Second Imperial Brother, Prince Xiang. And now, Prince Xiang's death was confusing, so asking the Fifth Imperial Uncle for help at this time, the other party would definitely not refuse!
And on the other hand, now whether it was herself, Yin Fengzhan, Yin Fenglian, or Noble Consort Zhang, their weight in speaking before Emperor Shuncheng was somewhat light, so it was not certain he would simply take out the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan! But the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng, was different. He was Emperor Shuncheng's brother, and for all these years, he had not asked about government affairs, so it was rare for him to open his mouth to beg for something. Therefore, only the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng, opening his mouth now would be most likely to make Emperor Shuncheng willing to take out the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan!
Nie Jinxuan weighed it clearly. And the subsequent events were just as Nie Jinxuan had expected. After learning Nie Jinxuan's purpose, the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng, agreed without a word, and then entered the palace that afternoon. Originally, Emperor Shuncheng did not want to take out the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan, but seeing the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng, crying and begging, Emperor Shuncheng could not refuse, and immediately had someone take out the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan and give it to him!
Just like this, Nie Jinxuan successfully obtained the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan through the Fifth Imperial Uncle, Yin Yanheng. Afterward, the next morning, before Nie Jinxuan could think of a way to notify Gong Wuyai, Gong Wuyai had already walked in swaggeringly!
Today, Gong Wuyai was wearing a treasure-blue brocade robe, embroidered with exquisite water patterns, luxurious yet elegant, and one could tell at a glance that it was priceless. At this time, after walking into the room, he sat in a seat unceremoniously, crossed his legs, and looked at Nie Jinxuan and said:
"How about it? Did you get the thing?"
Gong Wuyai was as leisurely and lazy as ever. At this time, hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who was still talking to Yin Fenglian and Yin Fengzhan, smiled slightly, then turned to have Shui Yun go down to prepare tea and snacks, and stepped forward to answer:
"Of course!"
Nie Jinxuan said quickly. After speaking, she walked directly to the wardrobe to the side, took out a brocade box from inside, and then came to Gong Wuyai.
And seeing Nie Jinxuan really bring the thing, Gong Wuyai's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out to take the brocade box from Nie Jinxuan's hand, but just at this moment, Nie Jinxuan shrank her hand first, and then took the brocade box into her arms.
Nie Jinxuan's action was so obvious, instantly, Gong Wuyai was stunned, and then he heard Nie Jinxuan say with a smile:
"Hall Master Gong, what's the rush? The thing is here, it won't run away! So Hall Master Gong, answer the question first, and it won't be too late to take the thing~!"
"Hmph! Are you afraid this seat won't keep my word?"
"Hehe~ Hall Master is serious, Jinxuan is naturally not afraid, it's just that being careful is the way to sail for ten thousand years!"
"Hmph, spare me that. This seat must see the thing first. After all, how would this seat know if what you put in that brocade box is real?!"
Nie Jinxuan was shrewd, but Gong Wuyai was not stupid either. Afterward, after looking at each other for a long while, Nie Jinxuan finally moved her eyebrows and placed the brocade box before Gong Wuyai.
Seeing this, Gong Wuyai finally moved his expression, reached out and opened the brocade box, and then took out the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan inside...
Top-grade white jade as the frame, peacock tail feathers as the surface, double-sided embroidery, one side with flower pavilions, one side with water pavilions... Just like the legend before, the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan was indeed a masterpiece of the world!
So at this time, looking at the precious fan in his hand, even Gong Wuyai, who had seen countless treasures, had a flash of surprise on his face, and then began to play with it lovingly! Seeing Gong Wuyai's reaction, Nie Jinxuan could not help but smile and asked in a low voice:
"Can Hall Master Gong answer Jinxuan's question now~!"
"Speak!"
"Alright, then may I ask, more than twenty years ago, did you make a mask for Prince Xiang?"
"Prince Xiang? This seat doesn't know who he is... However, there was indeed a Dongling person who paid a high price for this seat to make a mask!"
"Then may I ask if Hall Master Gong remembers what the mask looked like?"
"Twenty-something years old, features were not bad... Of course, compared to this seat, it was much worse! However, he was quite kind-looking, with a bit of scholarly air!"
