Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 355 Mission

When Sheng Yu'an came back and saw Nanchun's eyes were red from crying, he hurriedly asked, "Bai Xun, could it be that you have upset Nanchun again?"

Nanchun said hurriedly: "No, Fourth Master! I am happy!"

"Happy?"

"Well! I found the underground fairy palace!" Nanchun said excitedly.

Sheng Yu'an said in surprise: "Did you find it?"

"Well, I'm sure that must be the underground fairy palace!" Nanchun took out the jade pendant and continued, "Fourth Master, do you recognize this?"

Sheng Yu'an took it and looked at it. "Yes, I recognize it. Old Master Nan said that this jade pendant is an heirloom of your Nan family. He also said that if he sees you in the future and can't identify you, he can use the jade pendant to identify you."

"This jade pendant is actually a map of the Underground Celestial Palace. Grandfather has said more than once that our Nan family weren't tomb seekers, but rather tomb keepers, and the tomb we guarded was actually an imperial cemetery. I used to think he was just telling a story, but now I know the tomb our ancestors guarded was probably the Underground Celestial Palace.

"Perhaps...something catastrophic happened, forcing our Nan family ancestors to leave Xinchuanling. Through the generations, many memories have faded, but the sense of responsibility as gravekeepers remains. However, the graves they wanted to guard were no longer available, so the Nan family's ancestors began searching for them." Nan Chun said.

He had such a guess because he asked his grandfather when he was a child.

Since the Nan family is the gravekeeper, why don’t they guard the tomb anymore and suddenly become tomb seekers?

Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "The Nan family has been gone for too long, and we can't find the imperial tomb. Only by finding the imperial tomb can we continue to fulfill the Nan family's mission."

Sheng Yu'an suddenly realized: "No wonder... No wonder Old Man Nan said that he had a connection with the Underground Fairy Palace. He may have already known that this is the place guarded by the ancestors of the Nan family."

Nanchun felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Grandpa must have known.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Li Minghe that the Nan family's ancestors had been guarding tombs and searching for mausoleums. If he couldn't find the underground palace in his lifetime, he would guard it well even after his death.

Guarding Xinchuanling is like guarding the underground fairy palace.

This is the mission of the Nan family.

Grandpa didn't tell him all this probably because he didn't want him to bear such a mission.

Sheng Yu'an has been dealing with Nan Chenglin for more than ten years, and he understands Nan Chenglin's intentions very well.

He was buried in Xinchuan Ridge and will guard the underground fairy palace forever.

Sheng Yu'an sighed, "Nanchun, don't feel burdened. Old Master Nan made this choice because he wanted you to live the life you want. The mission ends with him. You don't have to... dwell on it anymore."

Nanchun shed tears.

Yes, grandpa completed his mission.

But he…wanted me to live a different life.

Bai Xun reached out to wipe away his tears and gently patted his back.

Nan Chun choked up and said, "But I want to see the underground fairy palace. I want to see that...the place that my Nan family ancestors have always guarded. Fourth Master, please let me go to Xinchuanling again!"

Sheng Yu'an hesitated for a moment and said, "Not for now. I went to Sheng Mansion today and met the boss. What he said to me made me a little concerned."

Nanchun looked at him puzzledly: "Master Sheng?"

"Well, he said that back then... there was a traitor around Third Brother. We have to be careful!" Sheng Yu'an frowned.

"Traitor? That's impossible. I've been in Xinchuanling for so long, and the people around me are all brave and chivalrous. How could there be a traitor?" Nanchun looked at him in disbelief.

"That's very possible," Bai Xun said. "This kind of traitor might not be the kind you understand as someone who colludes with outsiders to betray his brothers. Just like the guy who suddenly ran away from your team before.

That man wasn't a traitor. He didn't want to betray you, and he'd rather die than surrender. He simply ran away because he suddenly got tired of it and wanted a different life. However, his choice nearly brought you disaster.

People's thoughts are always changing, and human nature cannot withstand the test. Before finding the underground palace, they may have been very pure. After finding it, seeing countless treasures before their eyes, their thoughts may have changed. Fourth Master, I agree with you, be cautious.

Nanchun felt a tightness in her heart, as what Bai Xun said made some sense.

A person even died for a few golden beans!

When countless treasures are placed before your eyes, how many people can resist being tempted?

Sheng Yu'an sighed: "Only the three of us know about finding the underground fairy palace. I will make arrangements for you to go to Xinchuanling, but not now."

Nanchun nodded.

After Sheng Yu'an left, Bai Xun said, "I'm going back to Baijiazhai. Do you want to go with me?"

Nanchun was slightly startled: "Me? Why should I go back?"

Bai Xun took his hand and said, "I am in charge of the Bai family now. You don't have to worry about anything."

Nanchun curled her lips. "Let's not talk about the fact that we've already divorced. Now we're just having fun occasionally. Your Bai family finally got rid of an unwelcome male wife. Now you want me to go back with you. Do you want to piss off the old patriarch and the old lady to death?"

Bai Xun smiled and said, "Don't you want to piss them off?"

Nanchun didn't hesitate and blurted out: "I do! How could I not want to?"

Realizing what he had said, he hurriedly covered his mouth and said awkwardly: "I'm not going back. We've already divorced."

Bai Xun took out the divorce letter from his arms and said, "I never thought about divorcing you from the beginning to the end."

Nanchun took a look and saw that there was indeed only his name on it.

Bai Xun took out a match and lit the divorce papers, and the flames quickly engulfed Nanchun's name.

He took Nanchun's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "Wait for me to come back."

Nanchun lowered his eyes and muttered, "Wishful thinking!"

It just so happened that Manager Shi also came to Yangcheng.

Sheng Yu'an had a drink with him.

"The boss said there's a traitor around the third brother. Have you noticed?"

Shopkeeper Shi nearly choked halfway through his drink. He put down his glass and frowned, saying, "He's talking nonsense! How could it be possible? You actually believed what he said?"

"Although... you may not believe it. The boss actually loves the third brother the most. He will not lie about this. The boss said that after his people left Xinchuanling, a group of people quickly entered Xinchuanling and headed straight for your destination. This group of people are not ordinary people, but people from above." Sheng Yu'an said.

Seeing that his expression was very serious, Shopkeeper Shi couldn't help but sit up straight and think carefully.

"I saw my guide's family being killed, so I left Xinchuanling overnight to look for Minghe and the others. So I don't know if anyone has been there." Shopkeeper Shi thought for a moment and said, "But two years later, I secretly went back once, and I found traces of the Bai family there."
