Chapter 240 - Coincidence Or Connection?

Bai Rouyun felt very puzzled. She could not sense the hostility in Jiang Wei's inquiring gaze, nor could she understand the purpose of his wish to gain information about herself and her knowledge of the Eternal Shadow Palace.
The uncertainty and the doubts made it so that Bai Rouyun was extra cautious in the words she chose and the questions she answered.
Jiang Wei was also an expert at avoiding sensitive topics, and at the time they arrived at the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, she had still not gained any information about his past.
The two both shared a gaze of deep inquiry before they tacitly decided to postpone their conversation. It was not suitable for the two of them to continue their conversation within the store.
Bai Rouyun located the manager. She was getting impatient waiting for a resource with the properties of recreating or enhancing her body. The inability to use Qi was truly making her frustrated.
Jiang Wei was looking at her with a complex gaze. The emotions within were impossible to decipher, and it was even more challenging to grasp the mood of the young man.
It was not known by many that Bai Rouyun was unable to use her Qi. However, everyone knew of her search for some treasure with the same properties as the Qilin horn.
The thoughtful expression on Jiang Wei's face did not diminish as the manager treated Bai Rouyun with respect and even a hidden fear.
The manager led Bai Rouyun and Jiang Wei into a private room where he ordered one of his assistants to bring the items that had been handed in by those who wished to trade for the pills.
Unsure of how many were willing to trade, Bai Rouyun waited patiently to see if any of the items could grasp her attention. She would be lying if she said that she was not hopeful.
Jiang Wei was silent as he witnessed everything that was happening in front of him. He was unsure of the details concerning this transaction at first, but after witnessing the treasures that were brought to the room, he understood that the famous trade was initiated by Bai Rouyun.
A thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes as he surveyed the things that had been laid out on top of the table. Most of these treasures had the ability to enhance or recreate the human body, making it evident that Bai Rouyun was looking for something with this particular purpose.
Although Bai Rouyun had not met Jiang Wei prior to this day, it was not the same the other way around. Jiang Wei had followed the development of the lives of both Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun and knew many of their details already.
Upon thinking, he found that it was a very long time since Bai Rouyun had been seen using her Qi.
Although he could not determine anything with certainty, he guessed at what might roughly have happened.
The gaze deepened as Jiang Wei moved his eyes back to Bai Rouyun. He was still silent and did not participate in the conversation, but he found that after Bai Rouyun observed all the treasures on the table, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she seemed very satisfied.
Amusement flashed by the young man's eyes as he noticed the previously mature woman show such childish happiness in front of these treasures. It was a relief to see her this happy and unaffected by the day's events.
However, he could not help but wonder how she had planned to trade for all these items. They were offered by different experts, and each one of them wanted to get a pill of ancient origin.
Even the Eternal Shadow Palace did not have unlimited numbers of these pills, and every member understood the rarity. Also, before being given the pill, they would have to swear a heavenly oath not to tell others of these pills' existence and not to let them flow out of the Eternal Shadow Palace.
Although Bai Rouyun had taken over the position as the new leader of the Eternal Shadow Palace, she could not use such resources for her own benefit, so where did all these pills come from?
Jiang Wei was not feeling uncomfortable with her potentially using such a vast number of pills to exchange things for her own benefit, but he was very curious about where she had gotten these pills from.
He did not believe that Li Moyun would give her this many in private, so the only reason would be that she had some sort of connection to these pills. They also appeared after her marrying into their palace.
As if he had just touched upon a very well-hidden secret, Jiang Wei's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
He had never previously connected these two things together, but upon closer consideration, it might not be that much of a coincidence.
Could it be that Bai Rouyun had done many things to benefit the Eternal Shadow Palace without anyone knowing of her contributions?
Although both shock and surprise had flashed in his eyes, the facial expression of the young man had not changed, and he quickly masked the emotions within his eyes.
He did not have anything to prove his sudden guess, so he continued to observe the actions of Bai Rouyun.
He had missed most of the conversation between her and the manager, but looking at the wretched smile on the manager's face, it seemed that things were rather beneficial for him.
Bai Rouyun waved her hand, and twenty-three vials appeared on the table. At the same time, twenty-three of the treasures had vanished, leaving a few of the more common behind.
The manager did not waste any time but quickly picked up one of these vials and opened the lid. A pleasant and heavy scent of herbs spread in the room, and the smile on the manager's face was so wide what he could hardly see.
