Chapter 1107: Chapter 58: If the Boss Says You Can, You Can

After having lunch at Old Master He’s house, as they were about to leave, Old Master He handed over a key.

“No matter what, you’ve called me master for so long. When a disciple gets married, it’s not right for me, the master, not to show something. Take this key and go to Xingguo Bank to retrieve a safety deposit box. The contents inside are considered as the red envelope from your master.”

Wang Yunxiao was too embarrassed to accept it, genuinely embarrassed.

He hadn’t shown much filial piety to this master, how could he have the face to take things from him.

However, Old Master He didn’t argue with him and directly threw the key into Li Mumu’s hand, looked around, and lowered his voice to say: “There’s something I must remind you, do you know why Miss Bai is letting you two accompany this child out?”

To be honest, Wang Yunxiao was indeed a bit clueless.

It couldn’t be just to let us come out and grab some red envelopes, right?

“There are some things from the Jianghu World you don’t understand, and I’ve never mentioned them to you. Who knew you’d have such good luck and now actually grown into a decent appearance.”

Old Master He sighed and said, “In the past, when there was the Dragon Maiden, she would enter the world, also known as the ‘Roaming Flood Dragon’. From the imperial court to the Jianghu World, many wanted to leverage the Dragon Maiden’s grand fortune to vie for destiny. However, the Hidden Dragon was deep in the abyss, and the Dragon Maiden had been blessed with fortune since childhood, making it difficult for others to see her true form. Even if they brushed past each other, they wouldn’t recognize her.”

“Around the Dragon Maiden, there would often be a Guardian General to protect her from petty eyes before she entered the world. Besides that, there would also be a Great Divine Power User who could glimpse a corner of heavenly secrets to go by the Dragon Maiden’s side for careful guidance and upbringing to avoid mistakes turning her into an Evil Dragon…”

“But now there is no more Dragon Maiden.”

“You know, I know, heaven knows, earth knows, but does everyone know? The customs developed by the old generation are not easy to change.”

Old Master He shook his head and said: “I see this child is smart and exceptional in temperament. He seems to be the most outstanding among Xu Lao Er’s many children, which is why Miss Bai brings him along for guidance. Her appearance at Tianmen will inevitably attract attention from those with intentions. As for whether she’s the Dragon Maiden, is there a Dragon Maiden? If you say no, would anyone believe it?”

Wang Yunxiao suddenly understood.

The old saying goes, if the leader says you can, you can even if you can’t. If the leader says you can, then you can’t even if you can.

The Ancient Dragon Court plan spans over eight thousand years of history from ancient times to the present, and people have long formed path dependency.

Or to put it bluntly, it’s the livelihood of millions of Canal Workers.

The Dragon Maiden ascends, history blanks are refilled, ordinary people are unaware of it, but in the eyes of people like Old Master He, those erased historical traces still exist in their memory.

Now the Four Seas Commerce Guild returns, and Xu Family’s descendants overseas are also gradually returning.

Xu Huange suddenly appears at this time, making it difficult for some people’s mentality not to undergo subtle changes.

Everyone knows the school flower receives love letters hand-soft every day, and suitors line up outside the school gate, but what if…

What if the great beauty has poor eyesight and just likes you, an ordinary person with no looks, no length, and pockets cleaner than your face?

Take a chance, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, make the school flower your wife.

This kind of lucky mindset everyone will have.

“Therefore, when you take the child out, you must be careful, especially of those inexplicable people. Don’t show mercy and let them develop any inappropriate thoughts.”

Old Master He advised in a low voice: “And it’s not just those from Jianghu World, even the big figures in the imperial court, you have to carefully guard against. Miss Bai holds a transcendent status at Tianmen, if you truly encounter a situation, don’t consider anyone’s face, do you understand my meaning?”

“Understood.”

He clearly understood it; Wang Yunxiao thought he had just done this job, so it was a familiar path for him.

They set off, following the guidance of the Red String, and the next stop turned out to be the headquarters of Xingguo Bank.

Li Mumu played with the safe deposit box key in her hand and quietly asked Wang Yunxiao: “What do you think the old man left you?”

“Hard to say…”

After all, someone who could casually pull out the Imperial Jade Seal as a soaring bandit, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t imagine what the old man could put in the safety deposit box.

Just having parked the car, the little girl as usual ran to the entrance and shouted, “I am Xu Huange!”

But this time, there was no reaction, and after waiting for a long time, no one came out.

Only the security guard at the bank entrance cast a curious glance over.

The little girl waited for a long time, unable to hold back, pursed her lips, turned to look pitifully at her great-great-great-granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law.

Her reputation fruit failed for the first time.

“It seems the person we want to visit isn’t here.”

“If they weren’t here, the Red String wouldn’t point this way.”

Li Mumu raised her head to look at Xingguo Bank’s sign: “If my memory isn’t wrong, the shareholder behind this bank is Pacific Bank, which is a part of Four Seas Commerce Guild.”

“Xu Family’s own bank?”

“Hard to say, within Four Seas Commerce Guild, factions are everywhere… Should we start with the safety deposit box?”

Opportunities to open surprise boxes are rare, especially when you know that at least there’s a small guarantee even if there isn’t anything great. Li Mumu’s curiosity couldn’t be suppressed.

Walking into the VIP room, they took out the key, and the bank manager instructed the receptionist to brew tea for guests. Soon after, a one-foot-square metal box was placed before them.

“What could it be?”

Li Mumu eagerly inserted the key into the lock and turned it twice. Upon opening the box, a red glow met their eyes.

Neatly folded inside the box was an embroidered cloth, which Wang Yunxiao, not familiar with such, could only tell was high-quality brocade.

“Is this… a bridal veil?”

Li Mumu took out the red cloth and unfolded it, marveling: “It’s even a dragon-phoenix bridal veil, the embroidery is excellent, wouldn’t it be something from the palace?”

Hard to say…

Could it be that the senior brother entered the palace back then, besides stealing the Jade Seal, also took a stroll around the harem?

But Wang Yunxiao quickly noticed the patterns on the veil seemed somewhat different.

On top was indeed a dragon-phoenix motif, but further down were Dunhuang Flying Celestials…or rather, it resembled those blood-clad women from Red Lantern Society.

Then below were layers upon layers of blooming lotus flowers, countless in number.

“This material… Why does it feel similar to the Forgetful River Blood River Map?”

Li Mumu also detected the anomaly: “Could it be a sister version of the Blood River Map? Why would it be locked here?”

“How about calling your senior sisters?”

“Good idea.”

Xu Huange pursed her lips in displeasure, having made a wasted trip with nothing to gain.

Just then, a man’s voice sounded outside the VIP room: “So the young miss of Xu Family personally visits. I was previously entwined with mundane tasks, delaying a bit, please don’t be offended, young miss.”

Wang Yunxiao raised his head and frowned at the man walking into the VIP room.

Not familiar, but recognized.

The man wore sunglasses, he was blind.
