"This is very strange. Your Majesty and his men went through so much trouble to travel a long distance to Shenguang Island, and even used Heavenly Grade Magical Treasures. There must be something important going on, otherwise, Your Majesty would never go there in person, let alone use Heavenly Grade Magical Treasures."
"I suddenly have a bold guess, but I don't know if it's accurate?"
"Tell me, what kind of guess is that?"
"I wonder if it has something to do with the treasure lost by His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"It's still unclear whether the Third Prince lost his treasure or not. There's just a rumor that the Third Prince lost his treasure on Shenguang Island, in the abandoned city. As for whether the rumor is true or not, it's still unknown."
"Well, this matter is indeed a mystery. It is still unclear whether the Third Prince has lost any treasure, and it is even more impossible to know what kind of treasure the Third Prince has lost. Not long after the Third Prince came back, he announced that he would go into seclusion, and he has not come out yet, so there is no way to verify this question."
"This thing is actually very easy to explain. Just look at what your majesty and his men brought back from Shenguang Island, and it will become clear, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. It is said that after His Majesty returned from Shenguang Island, his expression has been solemn. It seems that he didn't find anything. Moreover, he ordered people to search everywhere where Shenguang Island sank. This further proves that His Majesty found nothing."
"It seems that there is indeed some important secret hidden in this."
"However, no matter what, Shenguang Island has completely sunk and entered the waters of the Chaos Sea. No matter how many things happened, they are all in the past. There is no need to think about them anymore."
"Uh-huh."
Wu Chen heard the conversation of the people at the table clearly. After listening, he couldn't help but frown. He also heard about what happened when Shenguan Island sank and after the sinking. It goes without saying that Huang Pujun used a heavenly magic treasure to go to Shenguan Island. It is obvious that this is definitely not as simple as breaking the divine light and rescuing the trapped people. There must be other purposes.
Then, he turned his attention to the abandoned city and the mysterious space. The treasures in that mysterious space had long been looted, and the remaining things were almost all scattered treasures. For ordinary warriors, they might be tempting, but for a strong man like Huang Pujun, they were not tempting at all, and it was even more impossible for the other party to use a heavenly-level spiritual treasure.
As for the fact that Huang Pu Changhen lost the treasure, he knew that it was true because he had obtained the treasure and it was still in his storage ring.
"Could it be that what Huang Pujun and the others are looking for is really that piece of jade?"
Wu Chen muttered in his heart, there was a blood curse on the piece of jade, which was enough to prove that Huang Pu Changhen valued it very much, because if it was an ordinary thing, there would be no need for him to cast a blood curse on it. Even if it was a quasi-heavenly spiritual treasure, he probably wouldn't do that.
Moreover, in that piece of jade, in addition to Huang Pu Changhen's blood curse, there is another extremely powerful force. That kind of power is extremely terrifying. If he guessed correctly, it should be set up personally by Huang Pu Changhen's father, the Emperor of the Xuanwu Empire. This means that not only Huang Pu Changhen values it very much, but even Huang Pu Jun also attaches great importance to it. This makes it even clearer that the piece of jade is definitely not an ordinary thing. It must be a priceless treasure of extraordinary value.
After his own analysis and argumentation, Wu Chen became more certain that what Huang Pujun and the others were looking for was most likely that piece of jade. Judging from the situation, there must be some huge secret hidden in that piece of jade, otherwise, Huang Pu Changhen and Huang Pujun would not attach so much importance to it, and Huang Pujun would not use a heavenly grade spiritual treasure just to find it.
Therefore, Wu Chen couldn't help but doubt whether he should return the jade to Huang Pu Changhen. If what Huang Pujun and the others were looking for was indeed that piece of jade, it meant that they valued that piece of jade very much. If he simply returned it to Huang Pu Changhen, then not only would it not be of any benefit to him, but on the contrary it might bring disaster. There were too many such examples in history.
In his previous life, he had heard of some such examples. Some people accidentally picked up some treasure and returned it to the owner. Although the owner was extremely grateful on the surface, he secretly used shady tactics to kill the person who found the treasure. He was afraid that those who had come into contact with the treasure would find out some secrets about the treasure. In order to prevent the secrets from being leaked, he killed the other party.
Regarding such cases, Wu Chen certainly felt contempt for the owner, because the person who found the treasure and returned it did so out of kindness, so he chose to return the treasure. However, the owner, on the other hand, killed the other person because he was afraid that the secret of the treasure would be leaked. Isn't this obviously a mean mentality
Such cases serve as a reminder to Wu Chen that if he gets someone else's treasure, he should certainly promote the spirit of returning it to the owner. After all, returning money and property is a virtue, an excellent spirit, and a positive energy. However, he must be careful, otherwise, he might follow in the footsteps of those people in the cases, be ambushed, and lose his life, which is not worth it.
Perhaps, some people would say that he was too cautious and was judging others by his own standards. However, he also hoped that this was really the case. If this was the case, then everything would be fine. However, he was afraid that the situation he mentioned would occur.
The ancients said: First the villain, then the gentleman. This sentence is very appropriate to describe his current psychology.
"Oh, if I had known that the jade was so troublesome, I shouldn't have picked it up. These days, it's so difficult to be a good person. There are so many things to consider. It's really a headache."
Wu Chen sighed in his heart. He felt a little regretful. Perhaps, he should not have picked up the piece of jade out of curiosity. It was not just a piece of jade at all. It was clearly a hot potato. If he was not careful, it would bring him great trouble and disaster, and he might even lose his life.
