Chapter 563

After giving the Suihou Pearl to Yanfei as a gift, Su Xuan finally had time to study the box that had contained it.

It had to be said that this move by King Kaolie of Chu had exceeded everyone's expectations.

He had hidden the secret inside the box; when everyone's eyes were on the Suihou Pearl, they would naturally and subconsciously ignore the box that held it.

In the original work, Lord Changping had also used this trick.

He hid the map of Dongjun inside the box containing the night-luminescent pearl; ordinary people only thought the pearl was worth a fortune, not knowing that the real secret was in the box.

The box containing the Suihou Pearl was made by someone unknown, and it was incredibly ingenious, but for Su Xuan, breaking its mechanism was not a difficult task.

Even without the things Lord Changping had told him, he was capable of breaking the mechanism himself.

After fiddling with it a few times, the bottom of the box suddenly split open.

A map fell out from within.

Su Xuan picked up the map and examined it carefully.

He could not help but praise King Kaolie of Chu, the father of Lord Changping, in his heart.

The secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon was widely circulated in the world, and historically, only the royal families of various states knew of it, but even as members of the royal family, not everyone was qualified to know this secret.

King Kaolie of Chu naturally knew.

But he did not tell this secret to his own son, the current King of Chu.

Instead, he told it to his son, Lord Changping, who was hidden in the Qin Guo.

This naturally contained deep meaning.

King Kaolie of Chu had stayed in the Qin Guo for many years, and during his reign, the State of Chu had participated in several joint attacks against Qin by the five states; he knew better than anyone how powerful the Qin Guo was. If he had told the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon to his son in Chu, the State of Chu might not have been able to keep the secret.

Telling it to Xiong Qi in the Qin Guo was a different matter.

Even if one day the Qin Guo truly destroyed the State of Chu, Xiong Qi held a high position in the Qin Guo and could find a way to keep the secret, allowing the secret of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon to continue.
