I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 98: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow, Secretly Building a Path

Golden color?!

Golden luck!!

Fu Ning widened his eyes, and the fourth sight was filled with golden light.

How is this possible?!

He rubbed his eyes again. With just his naked eyes, this was just a half of a wooden comb.

Regardless of the material or style, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

But why was its luck golden?

The concept of luck has always been mysterious.

The level of luck is related to the object itself on one hand, and it may also be related to the causal factors involved with the object.

Like the "Cold Ice Jade Box" Fu Ning obtained from the "Respected Envoy" before.

The purple luck was due to the extraordinary material and craftsmanship of the jade box, and it was also possible that an important item had been placed inside the box.

The half of a wooden comb in front of him was extremely ordinary in itself, but its luck was golden, indicating that there might be a huge secret hidden behind this wooden comb.

Fu Ning subconsciously thought of the "Wave Chart".

Both were things left behind by Cheng Ping, so why was the luck on the "Wave Chart" a color of gray decline, while the half of a wooden comb in front of him was filled with golden luck?

"This... is the comb my sister-in-law used before."

"Before my eldest brother passed away, he always held onto this half of a wooden comb, and he said..."

When Cheng An said this, his tone suddenly paused. Then, under Yun Niang's questioning gaze, he confessed with embarrassment, "He said that this was the remembrance left by my sister-in-law for you."

"When you comb your hair in the future, it will be like your own mother helping you comb it."

Saying this, he handed the half of a wooden comb to Yun Niang.

"I originally thought of waiting for you to get married..."

When it came to getting married, Cheng An's face suddenly turned pale, as if he wanted to slap himself ten times.

He cautiously raised his head and saw Yun Niang holding the comb in both hands, lost in thought. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

After a long time, Yun Niang finally came back to her senses. She gently combed her own hair with the comb.

It was as if she was trying hard to imagine her mother combing her hair for her.

Seeing this, Fu Ning let out a soft sigh and reached out to rub her hair.

Poor child.

On the other side, perhaps the situation was stronger than people.

Cheng An, as if accepting his fate, took out a small box. Inside the box were the land deeds, house deeds, and various properties of the Cheng family.

He fumbled with the sandalwood box, his face seeming desolate yet relieved.

"I was blinded by greed."

"These things should have belonged to you from the beginning."

After saying that, he pushed the small box in front of Yun Niang.

Yun Niang still held onto the half of a wooden comb in her hand, but she ignored the small box in front of her.

She had already embarked on her cultivation path, and these worldly possessions were no different from waste paper to her.

"I only want that little red sailboat."

After saying that, she turned her head to leave.

Yun Niang's parents had once sailed on a red sailboat to search for treasures at sea, so she only wanted the red sailboat as a remembrance.

When these words came out, Cheng An, who was behind her, suddenly froze, seemingly surprised that Yun Niang would be so decisive.

"Wait!"

These two words blurted out, as if even Cheng An himself was somewhat surprised.

His face changed several times, but in the end, he decided to reveal everything: "Actually, my eldest brother left behind a... map."

"A map?"

"Yes, my eldest brother called it the 'Wave Chart'."

"That chart doesn't get wet when it touches water, and it can outline ripples. Behind it should be... a treasure."

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law went to sea, probably to search for that treasure..."

Yun Niang's body trembled, her voice turning cold: "Where is the map?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng An's face immediately turned bitter: "Mei Niang...stole the map."

"But before Big Brother passed away, he said that the innocent should bear the blame for the guilty. He specifically instructed me to keep the treasure map and not let you know about it, fearing that you would follow in their footsteps."

Upon hearing this, Yun Niang involuntarily froze in place.

At the same time, Fu Ning suddenly had a bright idea.

The doubts that had been lingering in his mind suddenly became clear at this moment.

"The broken wooden comb," "the wave carriage map," "the mirage tower"!

Why is the luck on the "wave carriage map" gray and declining?

Why is the luck on the "broken wooden comb" golden and soaring?

These two questions collided and ultimately pointed to the Hongzu Scenic Palace's "mirage tower."

Fu Ning widened his eyes: Is it possible that this is a move by Cheng Ping?

Could the "wave carriage map" be a bait he released?

Cheng Ping must have known about his wife's "Miao clan" bloodline and also guessed that Yun Niang might have inherited the same bloodline.

That's why he set up this scheme.

This way, he could kill two birds with one stone.

First, by using the "wave carriage map" to bind his brother Cheng An and make him take care of Yun Niang.

Second, he had long guessed that Cheng An would eventually reveal the secret of the "wave carriage map." By using this bait, he could attract the majority of attention, with the goal of protecting his daughter.

That's why, before his death, he specifically instructed Cheng An to leave the wooden comb for Yun Niang.

Because the true secret was actually hidden in the broken comb.

Who, besides Yun Niang, would be interested in a broken comb?

What a clever strategy!

Thinking of this, Fu Ning suddenly became enlightened.

This Cheng Ping truly deserved to be the steward of the Cheng family at the age of nineteen!

But what secret does this broken comb hold?

Is it really related to the "mirage tower"?

"Mei Niang?"

Upon hearing this name, Yun Niang's eyebrows lightly furrowed, but she ultimately didn't say much, only leaving behind a slender figure as she walked out of the study.

As Yun Niang left the room, Cheng An suddenly fell to the ground, his whole person seeming much older: Yun Niang, Mei Niang...

Yun Niang left the study without stopping along the way, heading straight to the entrance of the inner courtyard.

Suddenly, she paused and turned her head to look at another room in the courtyard.

Inside that room should be her former nightmare, Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi was smart enough to understand that Yun Niang had returned and no longer dared to be arrogant.

But for some reason, Yun Niang didn't want to see Cheng Shi again.

Perhaps it was because she didn't know how to react when facing her.

Should it be anger, hatred, or revenge?

In fact, Yun Niang didn't know that Cheng Shi was currently under house arrest.

Yun Niang stood still for a long time, scenes from the past flashing through her mind, and her hatred grew stronger and stronger.

Until she inadvertently glanced and happened to see Cheng An stumbling after her, looking lost and disoriented, Yun Niang suddenly paused: Perhaps, this is the best revenge against them now.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked around, not stopping her feet anymore, and directly left the Cheng residence.

Cheng An wanted to take the opportunity to explain his situation, but on one hand, he felt guilty towards Yun Niang, and on the other hand, he thought about Cheng Shi still being in the other party's hands, so he obediently closed his mouth.

After the three of them had completely left, Cheng An was once again placed under house arrest.

On the other side, the three of them left the Cheng residence.

White Lotus Scenic Master remained silent the whole time, only when Yun Niang walked out of Left-foot Lane did the corners of her mouth slightly lift.

Letting go is the greatest cultivation.

I'm so tired, I finished the last drop today.

Thank you for the understanding from all the readers during this period of time. I will try to adjust the update time back. I owe one more update.
