Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1422 - 827: Life Dragon Long Lake (Part 2)

One of the elders courteously bowed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, some miscreants have snuck into our Cherry Snow Forest. For safety reasons, please proceed to the Wind Snow Pavilion to rest."

Anyway, they had almost finished eating and drinking, and encountering such an incident, Gong Jiu and the others lost the mood to continue and looked towards Sui Yi.

Sui Yi glanced at the person who had fainted.

"Alright."

The Shen Family arrived too quickly and assertively, and since it was their place, even Zhou Yu and the others had to obediently leave.

As they left, Sui Yi, holding Pu Qinghan, turned to look at the Life Dragon Stone.

The magnetic sensation seeped in, revealing a small fissure inside.

The Wind Snow Pavilion, located at the core of the Cherry Snow Forest, was truly grand in scale, with no less than a hundred guest rooms, and it was said that only members of the central Shen Family lived here, while other branch members resided in other parts of the Capital City.

As they entered, Gong Jiu and the others saw the person standing in the living room, positioned at the front with neatly waiting servants behind.

Originally speaking with a steward, upon hearing the sound, the person turned to face them.

Even though Gong Jiu and the others were used to seeing beauties, they couldn’t help but feel a refreshing spring breeze sensation when this woman turned her gaze towards them.

Wind resolves emotions, reconciles the moon, yet doesn’t resolve romance, resolves wind and moon.

This woman was probably the type who perfectly blended elegance and profound allure.

Wearing a close-fitting traditional silk gown in pale silver, she stepped forward, her gaze swept over everyone and landed on Li Luo and Pu Qinghan held by Sui Yi.

"I’m sorry, the Shen Family’s defense was inadequate, causing you two to trouble. Steward, take them to change clothes, and invite Physician Liao to examine... As for the others, please follow me."

With just a few words, the woman’s authority left those present no choice but to follow her away.

Li Luo and Pu Qinghan were drenched. The former could dry off with inner strength, and Sui Yi could help the latter, but since they had things to discuss, they followed the steward away. Upon reaching a room, the steward left, arranging for clothes to be sent in, while they could bathe and wear robes first...

After the people left.

Sui Yi checked Pu Qinghan’s body, finding no major injuries. "It seems she was abruptly dragged into the water, hit her head, and fainted."

Sui Yi’s diagnosis made Li Luo look at her, "You don’t suspect me?"

"Suspect you of what?"

"This Cherry Snow Forest... I’ve been here before."

Oh?

"Back at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it already existed. At the time, it was property of the Ruyang Prince’s Mansion and a place she liked to frequent."

Zhao Min was the princess of the Ruyang Prince’s Mansion, the treasure of the palm, with the Ruyang army at her command, let alone a Cherry Snow Forest.

"Back then the area wasn’t as vast and wasn’t on this scale. When I first heard you mention it, I thought it was just a name duplication..."

Li Luo’s expression was somewhat strange, "I don’t quite understand. Since our times and spaces aren’t the same, why are history and dynasties so similar? This Life Dragon Lake also exists the same way, and also has..."

She paused, looking towards the direction of Life Dragon Lake amidst the glistening sea of snow.

"It also keeps a water monster."

If it was Li Luo’s doubt before, now it was described: "When I went with Miss Pu to the front earlier, I sensed those black-clothed men ahead, seemingly tossing something into the lake. I initially didn’t want to meddle, but then I saw that identical Life Dragon Stone. Out of curiosity, I approached, but before I could subdue those people, the monster shot up from the lake, dragging Miss Pu away."

Later, Li Luo jumped into the water and saved Pu Qinghan.

Because it happened so quickly, Sui Yi arrived just in time to miss seeing the two, only noticing those puzzled and uncertain black-clothed men.

Li Luo has always been reticent, saying so much now was likely an apology. Had it not been for her selfish motives, Pu Qinghan wouldn’t have been implicated.

"Until Zhao Min’s reincarnation is found, you’re likely stuck with us for the foreseeable future. If you always keep burdens and apologies in mind, you might not come across well."

Sui Yi said as he walked forward.

"Especially when your current personality isn’t very likeable to begin with."

Hmm?

Why did this person enjoy provoking her like this?

"Go in and help wash Pu Qinghan."

Li Luo was surprised, "You could help her..."

"I’m not wet."

Is there a logical connection?

Before Li Luo could react, Sui Yi had already taken Pu Qinghan into the bathroom.

Then came out.

"They seem to be uncomfortable with me touching them, perhaps because girls are more bashful, but I’ve seen it all before."

Then why are you so reserved?!!!

But evidently, Li Luo’s thought process wasn’t normal either, frowning, "Do you mean men aren’t bashful?"

"Yes."

"You’ve seen?"

"Yes... I’m a physician, to me there’s no difference between men and women, you know."

I don’t know.

Li Luo quietly glanced at her, then entered the bathroom and closed the door.

Sui Yi waited outside the bathroom.

After a while, someone arrived.

The steward came with a few maidservants, two by two pushing rolling clothes racks forward.

The racks were filled with clothes, including undergarments.

Sui Yi was somewhat surprised, but remembering how immensely wealthy the Shen Family was, and the fact that they were in their territory encountering trouble was enough for them to treat them with courtesy.

"Since we’re unsure of the preferences of you two ladies, we’ve selected some clothing... Dr. Liao is waiting downstairs, once you’ve changed into your clothes, you can head down."

With that, they left.

Sui Yi contemplated.

This Shen Family evidently knew she had medical skills, hence they weren’t in a rush to have the fainted Pu Qinghan treated.

However, they still needed to go through the motions.

After a short while, Li Luo came out, having helped Pu Qinghan dress in a bathrobe too.

Upon emerging, she immediately saw two sets of clothes already picked out on the bed.

Li Luo hadn’t been in this world long, yet somehow knew which ancient-style dresses to choose. But surely the Shen Family wouldn’t gift ancient-style dresses to first-time guests, right?
