Chapter 1030: Exposing the King of the Southern Wilderness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
At night in the Southern Wilderness, thunder suddenly sounded.
The deafening thunder shook the window lattice.
Elder Lou was resting in the Elder Hall.
It had been a while since she went back. She was happy to be able to avoid the little annoying guy.
However, she was old and did not sleep as well as young people. She was woken up by lightning.
The lightning was too strong. It would be bad if it struck in.
Elder Lou sighed and stood up to close the window.
A bolt of lightning illuminated the world.
She turned around and saw a sinister figure standing at the door.
“Ah!”
Her soul was about to fly out of her body!
The figure walked towards her and smiled quietly. “Granny, long time no see.”
Elder Lou trembled!
Why was this little annoying guy here again?
He was so silent too. Was he reviving a corpse at night?
She pushed open the window that had just closed. She was secretly hoping for the lightning to kill that guy!
Su Xuan handed her a box of snacks.
Elder Lou decisively refused. “I don’t eat this!”
Su Xuan smiled. “It wasn’t bought outside. Cheng Su made it.”
Su Xuan brought Su Xiaoxiao’s snacks to Elder Lou once.
One taste would ruin one’s life.
Elder Lou glared at a certain annoying person. ‘What do you want to do now?”
“I want to ask Granny for a small favor.”
There was no such thing as a mildly annoying person. Back then, he only said that he would come to the Southern Wilderness to play. What happened in the end?
He refused to leave her residence!
She would not fall for the little annoying guy’s trick again!
Su Xuan still maintained an obedient smile. “This favor is also beneficial to the Holy Maiden Temple.”
At the mention of the Holy Maiden Temple, Elder Lou looked at him suspiciously. “Were you the ones who made the Saintess disappear?”
Su Xuan said innocently, “It has nothing to do with me.”
Elder Lou said coldly, “Can you guarantee that it has nothing to do with your accomplices?”
Su Xuan said, “No guarantee.”
Elder Lou was speechless.
Elder Lou said impatiently, “Speak quickly if you have something to say!” Su Xuan told her his request.
Elder Lou was so angry that she wished she could throw him out. “Why did I fall into your hands back then!”
After the lightning and thunder, the capital of the Southern Wilderness welcomed a rainstorm.
The commoners had long fallen asleep, but a large group of imperial guards were draped in straw raincoats and galloped under the rain.
The guards split up and headed to different streets and alleys. They knocked on the door from door to door.
The Holy Maiden Temple also received an imperial edict—the Saintess had disappeared. It was done by the arsonist who injured the Third Prince a few days ago in the palace. The King of the Southern Wilderness ordered the Holy Maiden Temple to participate in the search.
Naturally, the Holy Maiden Temple itself had to be searched.
Every corner of the Saintess’s Hall had been searched, including the Saintess’s bedroom and secret rooms.
The imperial guards also went to the four aristocratic families.
Old Master Yin’s secret room had been discovered. Helpless, he could only let
the imperial guards turn the Yin family upside down.
The lead guard said, “Patriarch Yin, please summon everyone in the residence, including the servants.”
Old Master Yin instructed.
Not long after, more than a hundred people from the Yin family gathered in the big garden under the rain.
The leader of the guards took out two portraits and pointed at a maidservant.
“You, come out!”
The maidservant walked out trembling.
The guard raised her face with the hilt of his sword.
The heavy rain kept washing over her face, and there were no traces of disguise.
The guard called a few maidservants and a few thin and slender men to check them one by one.
Yin Chongshan glanced at his father calmly.
The women called out by the guards were all similar to the Saintess, and the men who were called out were similar to the real King of the Southern Wilderness.
It was fake to catch the arsonist, but it was true to search for the Saintess and the real King.
The Cheng family was also searched; the guards did not even let go of the cellar.
Su Xiaoxiao guarded Cheng Sang’s bed and watched the guards rummage through the room with a calm expression.
Changliu Lane was searched only after dawn. By then, the storm had stopped.
Wei Ting and the others were called to the courtyard, except for Wei Xiyue.
She was a child. Her characteristics did not match.
Wei Ting took off his disguise early and Wei Liulang took off his mask.
However, the King of the Southern Wilderness was looking for the Saintess and Zongzheng Wei this time, not Wei Xu.
The reason why he didn’t look for Wei Xu was very simple.
Firstly, it was more urgent to find the Zongzheng Wei.
Secondly, the envoy of the Great Zhou was still in the capital. If the news was leaked, wouldn’t the envoy discover that Wei Xu had been imprisoned by the King of the Southern Wilderness?
As for Zongzheng Wei, he was too easy to recognize. There was no need to draw his face. Just his figure and skin color were enough.
After the guards left, Wei Liulang asked worriedly, “Will Dad be discovered? Is
Su Xuan reliable? After all, he wanted to kill Dad previously..”
