Chapter 460: First Arrival in the Slippery Clan
After another two days of travel, the road was quite safe, although it was bumpy, but it was also safe to reach the slippery family.
"Ye Zi, I've entered the Slippery Clan City Pass in front, how are you going to find your mother?"
"Let's inquire step by step, it is said that the sapphire on this green sword is unique to the Slippery Clan, I think, it should be easy to inquire."
Entering Chengguan, Xia Ye got out of the carriage and walked down the street, and Mu Yi followed behind her.
"Mu Yi, I've arrived safely in the Slippery Clan now, you can go back." Xia Ye looked back at Mu Yi and said.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and protect you." Mu Yi said.
"I don't need your protection, I'm fine, I have relatives in the Slippery Clan." Xia Ye smiled to reassure Mu Yi, and then said: "Young dart head, the dart you bet on has been delivered, you can go back, your father-in-law didn't say to let you be my personal bodyguard." β
"But I'm afraid those men in black will come to you again." Mu Yi said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I will have someone to protect me in the Slippery Clan, if I am not safe in the Slippery Clan, your stepfather will not let you send it to the Slippery Clan, but let you protect me with him."
Mu Yi scratched his head, feeling that what Xia Ye said still made sense, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Oh, young dart, don't worry, if you don't hurry back, your stepfather will probably have to worry about whether something happened to us on the road, and worry about it again, you better go back and report to your godfather, I will be fine."
"That's... Then I will send you to your relatives and leave, so that I can rest assured. β
Xia Ye Nunu mouthed, then sighed and said, "Okay." β
According to the location on the map, Xia Ye successfully found an industrial point left by the Cloud Palace in the Slippery Clan, which was a small inn.
Seeing Xia Ye find his relatives, Mu Yi left the Slippery Clan with peace of mind.
After Mu Yi left, Xia Ye took the green sword and went out to ask about the whereabouts of the sapphire.
"Uncle, I heard that your slippery clan has a unique sapphire, do you know where that gem is?" Xia Ye went out of the inn and asked a vendor.
The old man who bought the cucumber glanced at Xia Ye, and then shook his head: "I don't know." β
"No, uncle, that kind of sapphire is unique to your slippery clan, you can't know it?" Xia Ye took out the green sword in his hand without giving up, and then pointed to the sapphire on it and said, "It's this kind of gem, uncle, don't you really know?" β
"Oh, I said I don't know, don't stand here and block my business." The old man said impatiently.
Xia Ye had no choice but to leave, and then asked passers-by if anyone knew about this sapphire as he went.
"Well, girl, I know where the sapphire is."
A fortune teller on the side of the road suddenly stopped Xia Ye and said.
"Huh? Are you sure? Master, do you really know where this sapphire came from? Xia Ye happily ran over and asked.
The fortune teller nodded, then stroked his beard and said, "Of course." β
"Then the master speaks quickly." Xia Ye said anxiously, and then saw the fortune teller stretching out his right hand, rubbing his thumb and index finger back and forth.
Hey, damn it, Xia Ye just wanted to explode into foul language, but when she thought that she was still in a hurry to find out her mother's whereabouts, she had to change her smile and say, "I understand." Then he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the fortune teller.
If she wanted to put it aside, Xia Ye would have left a long time ago, because this was obviously a god stick to cheat money, but now as long as there is a little news, she will not let it go.
After giving the silver, Xia Ye eagerly asked, "The master can say it now, right?" β
"The sapphire in the girl's hand is indeed unique to our slippery clan, but..."
"But what?" Xia Ye asked.
"Thisβ" The man stretched out his left hand again and sold.
Xia Ye gritted his teeth and forcibly endured his anger, and gave the man another piece of silver.
"But this gem is only owned by the royal family, and this gem was not so precious before, it is a very ordinary gemstone, but because the material of this gemstone is different from ordinary gemstones, it is also very troublesome to manufacture, and it is difficult to make a complete gem, but..."
Speaking of this, the man stretched out his left hand again, and Xia Ye had no choice but to give another piece of silver.
"But our slippery clan produced a craftsman, like this sapphire only he can make a complete gem, and the success rate is particularly high, and then this gem is valued by the lord of the slippery clan, and the craftsman is also called to the palace to be a master craftsman, specifically for the royal family to provide this kind of sapphire, but..."
This time, without waiting for the man to stretch out his hand, Xia Ye was ready to feel the silver: "The master continued. β
"But then the craftsman didn't know how to offend the lord and was expelled from the slippery clan by the lord, and this sapphire slowly became no one to make gems."
No wonder she asked a few people just now, but no one knew: "Does the master know where the craftsman has gone?" Xia Ye asked.
"I heard that after the craftsman was expelled from the Hua clan, he was favored by the emperor of the Li State, and I heard that the craftsman was also given a very high position in the Li State."
"Li Guo?" Xia Ye looked puzzled: "Then why does the emperor of the Li Kingdom take a fancy to a craftsman?" β
"It's not because the craftsman was resentful after being expelled by the lord of the Slippery Clan, and actually sold the unique sapphire of the Slippery Clan to the Li Kingdom, and now the sapphire can be said to be unique to the Li Kingdom, otherwise how could an emperor of the Li Kingdom take a fancy to a craftsman."
After saying this, the fortune teller smiled and put a large handful of silver into his money bag.
"Hey..."Seeing that the silver that was originally his own was given to others like that, Xia Ye suddenly felt heartache.
Moreover, she doesn't know if she can believe the words of this god stick, if it is really like what the god stick said, then she is not a white slippery clan, she can only find the craftsman who made sapphires to find out a little about her mother, now that the craftsman has gone to the country of Li, isn't she going to go to the country of Li again.
Oh my! Do you want to be so sad?
"Master, is what you said true?" Xia Ye asked with a frowning face.
"I, Zhang Banxian, took people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and now I have accepted the girl's silver, and my words are naturally true." The self-proclaimed Zhang Banxian said with a smile, and then told Xia Ye: "The sapphire on the girl's sword is delicate and shiny, and it looks like it is from the hand of that craftsman, and this kind of gem is rare in the slippery clan, unless it is owned by the royal family, the girl does not dare to show it casually with this gem, otherwise I am afraid that it will provoke the fire." β
Xia Ye took the green sword and left as if he didn't believe it, and muttered in his heart, that magic stick actually cheated her out of all her silver, and said that she didn't want her to show it casually with the sword, saying that it would provoke the fire, I don't know if it's true.
Xia Ye decided to ask a few more people, and if it was really the same as what the god stick said just now, she would leave for Li Guo again.
