Chapter 124: A Box That Couldn’t Be Opened

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

This thought flashed through Su Yan’s mind, and it ran to the back of her mind.

Arriving at the Su family home, Su Yan went straight to Madam Su’s room.

She took out a letter and showed it to her, asking, “Mother, do you know what this means?”

Before Madam Su could have a good chat with her daughter, she stuffed a letter into her hand.

Seeing her nervous expression, she read it carefully.

After reading it, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. What’s going on?”

Su Yan was disappointed. She took out the wooden box that she had just gotten and handed it over. “Mother, take a look at this again. Do you recognize it?”

Madam Su’s expression became even more confused as she shook her head.

Madam Su frowned and asked, “Yan’er, did something happen to you?”

A mother knew her daughter. She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Su Yan.

Su Yan did not dare to tell them about her heart palpitations. Seeing that Madam Su was really clueless, she put away the letter and box, she smiled and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that this thing suddenly appeared in the Guang Residence two days ago. I saw that it was written in your name, so I brought it here for you to take a look at. It’s probably a coincidence.”

Madam Su wanted to ask something else, but she was fooled by Su Yan.

Old Master Su and Master Su were very happy that Su Yan had returned. The family ate a meal before Su Yan returned to Guang Residence.

Chu Tao walked into the room with a basin of water. When she saw that Su Yan was still looking at the wooden box, she smiled and said, “Princess Consort, you’ve been staring at it for a few days. Is it that fun?”

Su Yan sighed. She had a feeling that this was not an ordinary block of wood. There must be something important inside.

She said gloomily, “I just want to see what’s inside, but I can’t open it no matter how hard I try.”

Chun Xia walked in and heard it. She smiled and said, “Isn’t that simple? Just smash it open and see.”

Chu Tao laughed and scolded, “Stop fooling around.”

Su Yan’s eyes lit up. She hugged Chun Xia and said, “You’re really smart.”

After saying this, she left in a hurry.

Chu Tao and Chun Xia looked at each other. Chu Tao suddenly shouted, “Princess Consort, you haven’t washed up yet.”

Su Yan had already run away.

She came to the small kitchen and found an axe. She was ready to open the box.

Just as she picked up the axe, she suddenly remembered the dark history that was dominated by Master Xuanfeng.

Su Yan shook her head, threw away the thoughts in her mind, and cleaved down neatly.

The box was easily cleaved open, but a black ball appeared in the debris of the wooden box. It was unknown what material it was made of.

The axe could not dodge it either.

Su Yan looked at the ball in her hand in a daze. She kept feeling that there was something inside.

As she thought of something, Su Yan took the ball to the side of the pool. She scooped up a basin of water and hesitantly put the black ball into the water.

The black ball, which had not changed no matter how she fiddled with it, began to melt as soon as it came into contact with the water.

Su Yan quickly took out a red pill from the melted black ball.

Why did she know that it was a pill? It was because it was too similar to the Soul Revival Pill, except that the color was different.

With this, all the mysteries were solved.

When she went to Shen An Temple to ask for medicine, she first chopped wood and then went up the mountain to fetch water. This time, the steps of opening the wooden box were just right.

She just didn’t know why Master Xuanfeng took such a big detour to deliver the medicine to her.

Chu Tao came over and said hurriedly, “Princess Consort, the Su family sent someone to bring miss back.”

Su Yan was brought back to the Su family with a dumbfounded look on her face. No one gave her an explanation.

An Yi was still by her side.

Two days later, Su Yan overheard the conversation between her grandfather and her father in the study. Her body stiffened and she violently pushed open the study door.

Old Master Su and Master Su saw Su Yan’s furrowed brows.

Su Yan asked, “What happened to Gu Ruoyun?”

Old Master Su did not want her to find out but he replied, “Nothing.”

Su Yan turned pale and sobbed, “Did you say that he died on the battlefield?”
