Tang Rou obviously wasn’t stupid enough to tell them everything, especially the incident at the museum.
“One more thing, I want to tell you that this ancient painting has already been targeted by other people. It’s very possible that it’s the person who made that evil arrangement for your family. They also really want to get the scroll within the painting, but what they want to do is bad things.”
Tang Rou’s ability to lie really was quite good, but it wasn’t a lie. We tried our best to simplify the process, to reduce the Bai Family’s suspicion towards Tang Rou and me. In any case, the two of us were very open in our hearts.
“I never would have thought that I would encounter so many things after returning home this time. Luckily, I met all of you. Otherwise, I would have let the bad guys succeed.”
Old Man Bai should also know that the fake painting in the museum had been stolen, so he would definitely believe Tang Rou’s words. He believed that those so-called conspirators wanted to steal the painting.
“You guys have said so much. What is your goal?”
At this moment, the steward, who was standing aside and talking to the side, finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked another question.
“Very simple, didn’t I tell you earlier? If you want to destroy that place’s setup, at the same time, allow that pitiful singer’s soul to be reincarnated, then you must have a magic tool with special power. Right now, both of us don’t have that kind of thing in our hands, but … ”
Tang Rou paused for a bit and continued.
“I think you understand what I mean. The scroll of that painting can be used to make magic tools, and with this, our plan will have a much higher chance of success. I just wonder if Mr. Bai is willing to believe us or not.”
I saw that the butler still wanted to speak, but after being glared at by Old Master Bai, he immediately stopped and retreated to the side.
“Actually, you can say it directly from the beginning. The most important part of the painting is not the scroll, if you really need it, I can get someone to remove the scroll. Actually, I originally planned to reframe the painting as well, so the rosewood scroll doesn’t count as destroying this ancient artifact.”
Even though the old gramps said it was easy, this isn’t a decision an ordinary person can make. It’s like the old gramps said, the reason why we reassembled the ancient painting is to protect it, but after knowing the value of the painting, we readily agreed to it. On one hand, it’s to surpass the soul of that Bai Clan disciple, and on the other hand, it’s because we have absolute trust in both of us.
Even though outsiders wouldn’t know, someone as knowledgeable as Tang Rou knew, for the people in the dao sect, these two thousand year old peach wood hearts were definitely worth a lot more than this painting.
We didn’t waste any time. Old Mr. Bai immediately contacted the local staff to take out the painting’s scroll. To a professional, this was a piece of cake, and Tang Rou and I were lucky enough to see the painting’s true appearance.
It wasn’t too different from the one in the museum, but the moment I got closer, I could feel the simple and ancient traces of time on it. Especially when I got close to the peach tree, I instinctively became wary.
I discovered that ever since the red lotuses on my body continued to take effect, the Raksha Seal seemed to have gradually returned to the state it was in a long time ago. Even if it had a reaction, it wouldn’t have been particularly strong when it was asleep, but this time it was completely different, I could clearly feel that the thousand year old peach tree on the painting was filled with a large amount of positive energy. Without needing to guess, I knew that the thousand year old peach wood heart is the real thing, and it is even more powerful than I had imagined.
Tang Rou’s face was also filled with excitement. She immediately walked over and grabbed one of the thousand year old peach trees. After discovering the abnormality in my face, she immediately understood and intentionally turned around to block between me and the thousand year old peach tree.
At this moment, I had already started to suppress my emotions. There was some hostility, so my reaction wasn’t that big anymore. As long as I could maintain a distance of half a meter from the thousand-year-old peach wood, there wouldn’t be any mistakes.
Tang Rou held the two thousand year old peach trees in her hands. I could immediately feel that Tang Rou had become a gathering point for her energy, and even the air in the space that she was in had quickly gathered around Tang Rou. What I was worried about was that Tang Rou didn’t feel unwell because she had been receiving a large amount of energy from the trees for a long time, but rather the two peach trees in her hands were able to absorb the energy.
This thousand-year-old peach tree was originally very hard to find, and this ancient painting also had a long history. In the past, it must have been collected by some famous merchants and big families, and they took care of it very well.
This was definitely a rare treasure.
“How do I use this?”
Old Master Bai didn’t pay attention to the process of the painting changing into a scroll. Instead, he ran over to ask Tang Rou and me how we would use the thousand-year old peach wood.
“The power of the peach wood is very strong. I will directly use the peach wood as the core to break the formation of that place. As long as a large amount of righteousness is suppressed, then there won’t be any problems when the two of us do it.”
Tang Rou tried her best to make it sound simple and understandable, but I knew that to Old Man White, it was simply like listening to a book from heaven. Fortunately, the old man didn’t continue asking for details and allowed Tang Rou and I to take care of everything.
I could clearly feel the excitement and a hint of relief on Tang Rou’s face. I knew that with these two thousand-year old peach trees, we would definitely be able to succeed today.
“Tell me honestly, do we need to consume two pieces of peach wood this time?”
I really couldn’t hold back from asking this question. After Tang Rou heard my question, she immediately raised her eyebrows at me.
“According to my calculations, there should be some leftovers. Although it is not like how it was when I first got both of them, the strength of this item is much better than I imagined. As for the specific situation, we still have to wait and see.”
