Chapter 285: After coming back from death's door, encountered more difficulty again
Air Spirit had one hand behind his back, recalling the rumors he heard before as he slowly said.
“There was one year I toured the country of Jiang. I heard the emperor of Jiang country liked to collect famous flowers and precious herbs. And ten years ago, a minister offered him a strange flower for his birthday. This strange flower was stored in an ice cube. At that time, people who saw this flower all thought it was amazing. Because this flower didn’t have leaves, but flowers could actually bloom on its white branch, for a time it became an exotic tale among the common people. But because this flower was never shown in front of people again, everyone had forgotten about it. From the description of this flower from the people present at the scene, it’s sufficient to determine that this flower is the extremely rare Ice Crystal Flower.”
“Then is this Ice Crystal Flower still in the Jiang royal family?” It’s been ten years, Chu Qing-Yan couldn’t determine if this flower still existed. Although her heart was very excited, her mind was still sober.
“If the news I got is definite, it ought to still be there, because the emperor of Jiang country loves flowers to the point of foolishness. If he doesn’t have a serious hard to cure disease, then he wouldn’t lightly use this strange flower. I also heard there was a concubine who wanted to seize an opportunity to ask for this strange flower, but she was sent into the Cold Palace by this emperor of Jiang, the charge was for lusting and coveting things she shouldn’t, she was greedy and insatiable.” This matter touched upon his family’s master so when gathering information, he was especially cautious.
Chu Qing-Yan’s brows relaxed. “Knowing the whereabouts of the Ice Crystal Flowers is considered progress.”
Air Spirit nodded. “Although we don’t know how to get that Ice Crystal Flower, but eventually we’ll think of a way.”
“I think it will be very difficult.” Cheng Yan-Luo shook her head. “Since the Emperor of Jiang loves flowers to the point of being foolish, he would not send the flower to you guys unless you guys can give him a condition with which he is satisfied in exchange. But he is already the most noble emperor of a country, what doesn’t he have? So don’t use such a naive way to think of everything.”
Air Spirit knew Little Yan’s words were targeting him, but he still sunk into deep contemplation because of these words.
Chu Qing-Yan thought what Yan-Luo said was very reasonable, this was the predicament they were going to be facing. “This matter, I think I ought to consult with Earth Spirit’s group.”
