Xiahou Ting'an entered the study quietly.
Because Xia Hourong had not given permission before, no one was allowed to enter the courtyard, so it was quiet and quiet here with no one else around.
Even if he found someone sneaking in, Xia Hourong did not dare to say anything. He just ran out to catch the person himself.
Why
—Aren’t you feeling guilty and worried that the person really heard something and spread the word
Therefore, the entire Xiahou Mansion was still silent, and there was no wave caused by this incident.
This is Xia Hourong's study. Not to mention ordinary people, even the young masters and young ladies in the mansion dare not approach it at will.
But Xiahou Ting'an was different.
He was trained by Xia Hourong as his successor, especially in the past two years, he has been here frequently.
Therefore, he is very familiar with everything here.
He walked in and went straight to the desk.
There were not many things on the desk. He took a cursory glance and his eyes lit up when he saw the pen holder.
Then, he carefully moved the pen holder away little by little.
Suddenly a hidden compartment pops up under the desk!
A bronze key is placed among them!
Xiahou Ting'an took out the key, turned and walked towards the small couch.
It was usually used by Xia Hourong to rest when he was tired from reading.
Walking to the small couch, Xiahou Ting'an rubbed his hand on the edge for a while, and then heard a "click" sound!
The headboard of the small couch suddenly split from the middle!
Another hidden grid pops up!
A palm-sized black lacquered wooden box was placed quietly in a hidden compartment!
At first glance, this black lacquered wooden box is very ordinary, but if you look carefully, you can see that it is covered with a very light silver light pattern!
Xiahou Ting'an knew that the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill was placed in the wooden box!
The silver light pattern on the outside is the enchantment carried by the black lacquered wooden box itself!
He had heard his father mention it before that the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill was the only ninth-grade pill handed down from Taizu and was very precious.
This black lacquered wooden box was made by Taizu himself, including the barrier on it, which he also laid down himself!
After thousands of years of inheritance, although this barrier has been loosened, every emperor will strengthen it, so to this day, this seal is still extremely strong!
And because of this, this black lacquered wooden box has an extremely strong aura, making it very easy for people to find it.
So Xiahou Ting'an came here today with the intention of directly taking away the elixir inside!
Naturally, he couldn't handle this barrier just by relying on his own strength.
But—he has the key!
The most important thing is that there is a drop of Emperor Ji's blood on this key!
Therefore, it can easily break the barrier and open this thing smoothly!
Looking at the black lacquered wooden box in front of him, Xiahou Ting'an swallowed hard, his throat was dry, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
He was so nervous that his hands were sweaty, and he quickly wiped them on his body before holding the key and inserting it into the lock on the wooden box.
Click!
There was only a slight crisp sound, and the lock fell down!
Xiahou Ting'an held his breath and slowly opened the box!
A red elixir the size of a longan is quietly placed inside!
On top of that, there are nine clear golden lines!
It is indeed Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill!
A rich and fragrant fragrance spreads.
Xiahou Ting'an took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed! Even the Force in the body seems to have become active!
He was secretly shocked.
The ninth-grade elixir is indeed worthy of its reputation!
If you really take this pill, you will be able to temper your muscles and bones and improve your cultivation. It will be no problem!
Xiahou Ting'an suppressed the excitement in his heart and stretched out his hand to explore the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill.
However, at this moment!
A cold wind suddenly hit!
Xiahou Ting'an only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then, the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill disappeared!
He was shocked and immediately looked up!
A mysterious man in a robe is holding the Nine Heavens Return to Yuan Pill in his hand!
The other party was covered so tightly that he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a woman, let alone his appearance.
Xiahou Ting'an was shocked and angry, and immediately pounced on him!
But the other party easily avoided his move, put away the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, and turned around to leave without any hesitation!
The man looked like a ghost, and Xiahou Ting'an didn't even see his movements clearly before he disappeared!
Seeing the person running away, Xiahou Ting'an did not dare to shout and quickly chased after him!
But as soon as he rushed to the door, he found that it was pitch black outside, and there was no trace of the man at all!
Everything happened so fast, Xiahou Ting'an felt that one second he was immersed in the excitement and joy of getting Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, and the next second he was intercepted halfway, and everything was gone!
Even if he wanted to chase him, he didn't know where to chase him at this time!
Xiahou Ting'an was filled with resentment and anger, and his fists clenched and creaked.
He tried his best to get here and found the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, but unexpectedly it was snatched away without any effort!
A breath choked in my chest, it couldn't go up or down, it was so suffocating that it almost burst!
Xiahou Ting'an wanted to just leave, but he remembered that the mess had not been dealt with yet, so he had to accept his fate and go back.
Looking at the empty black lacquered wooden box, Xiahou Tingan wanted to die!
No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that he was actually being plotted against!
That person obviously followed him, otherwise the barrier outside would never be able to enter!
The other party was simply waiting for him to find the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, and then take advantage of it to take action!
Xiahou Ting'an closed the wooden box again and locked the lock.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he always felt that after losing the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, the silver light patterns on the black lacquered wooden box seemed to become much lighter.
But this has nothing to do with him anymore!
Xiahou Ting'an put the keys back and restored everything to their original state before leaving reluctantly!
His journey back went smoothly without anyone noticing.
I was nervous and excited when I came, but frustrated and resentful when I left.
Xiahou Ting'an became suspicious and would check his surroundings every time he walked a certain distance, for fear that someone else was following him.
Although he himself knew that the other party would definitely not follow him again now that he had obtained the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill.
But the shadow in his heart lingered.
Back at the residence, Xiaodie was still sleeping peacefully on the bed.
Xiahou Ting'an, however, kept his eyes open and had no sleep all night.
The disappearance of Jiuxiao Huiyuan Dan will be exposed sooner or later.
By then, he will definitely be listed as one of the suspects!
I originally thought of using the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill first to improve my original blood level and strength, so that even if my father was angry, there would be nothing he could do.
Everything will fall into place.
But now, that thing has been snatched away by a third person!
If we find him again, a basin of dirty water will definitely be inevitable!
Xiahou Ting'an thought for a long time.
If that didn't work, he would threaten the truth about Di Ji's death!
My hand is feeling much better. I will continue to update at 6pm.
