Chapter 911: Weapon 901 (15) 4th Update

Most people followed Ye Shaohua to her courtyard to see the commotion.

As they entered Ye Shaohua’s courtyard, their eyes were shocked by a pile of extremely precious items placed on the stone table.

Even Ye Yanyu was looking enviously at the things laid out on Ye Shaohua’s table.

The Butler turned his head to look at the Lady Shen, "My lord, Lady, these are all the things I found in the Young Lady’s room."

Ye Shaohua wasn’t looking at the items on the stone table.

Instead, she was looking at some things carelessly thrown beside the table, which were components for the mechanisms she made, merely half-completed.

Some were the embryos of newly crafted weapons, while others had already taken the shape of swords.

There were also a few completed weapons, all heedlessly thrown to the side by the Butler and his men, who probably thought these were the least valuable junk.

"Who gave you permission to touch these things?" Ye Shaohua took a deep breath.

The Butler, however, remained indifferent, thinking Ye Shaohua was trying to change the subject, "I’m only looking for the things missing from the Ye Residence, besides, it’s not like these things are of any consequence. Young Lady, you still haven’t explained how exactly you ’bought’ those items?"

And the wet nurse also noticed the items thrown on the ground, holding a half-finished mechanism with great distress, "How can you casually handle the Young Lady’s belongings!"

"They are but a pile of scrap iron," those present knew Ye Shaohua belonged to the Ye Family, but they couldn’t believe that after living like this for five years, Ye Shaohua could produce any outstanding weapons, "Are you saying that you acquired the South Sea Pearl with these items, Miss Ye?"

Little did the speaker know, their comment was just meant as a casual mockery of Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua glanced at the person who spoke, suppressing the rage in her heart, and called over a servant with a bit of martial skill.

"Go to the Yulai Inn," Ye Shaohua took a blood-colored jade pendant from her pocket and handed it to the servant, "Find a Lord surnamed Nangong, and show him this jade pendant. He will come with you."

This servant was one of the few who had accompanied Ye Shaohua to the mountains days earlier.

Loyal to Ye Shaohua, he took the jade pendant and hurried off at the fastest speed.

No one at the scene knew what she was up to.

"Who did you send for?" Shen Jiran, seeing the curiosity in the crowd, stepped beside her and asked softly, frowning.

Ye Shaohua looked at the pile of half-finished products on the ground and felt a headache coming on, "Someone, I asked him to come deal with these things."

"You couldn’t possibly..." Hearing Ye Shaohua’s remark, Shen Jiran paused, a possibility dawning on him, "Surely the jewelry on your stone table wasn’t traded for these things, was it?"

He too was very curious about where Ye Shaohua got so much stuff.

Ye Shaohua gave him a look but said nothing.

"Young Lady, you are being obstinate," those people had been waiting for a quarter of an hour and were getting restless, thinking that Ye Shaohua was playing for time. The Butler took a deep breath, "As long as you tell truthfully about these items..."

The Shen Family members, hearing the relentless accusations of Butler Ye,

Ye Shaohua didn’t look at him but placed the mechanism lock she was holding on the table, then stood up from beside Lady Shen and looked towards the door.

Everyone else also turned their gazes towards the courtyard gate.

The servant who had gone out brought in an old man with him.

Upon seeing that person, not only Shen Jiran and his father were startled, but even Cheng Yan shuddered, quickly stood up, and respectfully performed a big bow, "General Nangong!"

Some who did not recognize the newcomer changed their expressions upon hearing the name General Nangong.

General Nangong in the Wang Dynasty was a legendary figure, second only to one, commanding two hundred thousand elite troops, and most importantly, he was sworn brothers with the Emperor, who never doubted his loyalty.

But he was always stationed at the Borderland, so why did he suddenly appear here?

General Nangong did not let them ponder for long, and with a casual wave to Cheng Yan and the others, he walked towards Ye Shaohua, "Miss Ye, why did you seek this old man today? Is it because there is news about my Divine Weapon... Wait, what happened to these?"

He had not finished speaking when he saw the half-finished mechanism box on the table.

Shocked, his face twisted with anguish.

"The Young Lady had not yet finished it when someone took it out," said the wet nurse, also in great distress.

Before General Nangong could finish lamenting over the mechanism box, he noticed the various semi-finished products carelessly laid out and realized that some mechanisms once dismantled were ruined, but these newly formed weapons were not wasted, although it still felt like a sacrilege!

"Miss Ye, what’s all this about? Who did this to your belongings?"

With a voice like a great bell, General Nangong’s gaze was intimidating, causing the wet nurse to naturally look towards the Butler.

The Butler still did not realize what he had done wrong, "Reporting to the General, I was merely removing items from the Young Lady’s room that should not be there. These iron embryos were taken alongside. If this has caused the Young Lady any loss, I will compensate."

Hearing that the Butler was responsible, General Nangong almost wished he could kick him against the wall.

"Compensate? With what will you compensate? Do you know what this is?" General Nangong pointed to the mechanism box on the table, his face red and neck thick with rage, "This is the Bagua mechanism box. It has been lost for two hundred years. Two hundred years ago, the Zhou King exchanged an entire city for the only Bagua lock of that era. You compensate, with what will you compensate? Ten of your lives wouldn’t be enough to make up for this!"
