The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

323 High Priest (1)

“The Valley of Heavenly Secrets was once deified by people in the previous dynasty.” Song Jingchen added.

Valley of Heavenly Secrets? Shen Yijia frowned. Wasn’t they just fortune-tellers? She had read a lot about divination in story books. It was actually just some tricks to deceive people.

She was not interested in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, the Valley Master, the High Priest, or the previous dynasty.

What concerned Shen Yijia was why the person in the portrait had the same flower bud as her. She subconsciously reached out and touched her forehead.

Putting aside whether Madam Wang was related to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

The flower bud between her eyebrows grew because she upgraded the spiritual liquid. Could it be that the woman in the portrait was the same as her?

However, she had the spiritual liquid in her previous life. This had nothing to do with the original host.

Instead of saying that Madam Wang had left the map and key for the original host, why did it seem more like she had left it for her?

However, Madam Wang could not possibly have known in advance that her daughter would die and let her body be occupied by a soul from another world, right?

“What are you thinking about?” Song Jingchen suddenly interrupted Shen Yijia’s thoughts.

Shen Yijia blinked and pointed at her forehead. She asked tentatively, “Do you think I’m related to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets?”

“As far as I know, the second daughter of the Shen family was indeed born after ten months of pregnancy, while the Wang family is just an ordinary merchant family, so it’s impossible for them to be related to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.” Song Jingchen looked at Shen Yijia meaningfully.

Shen Yijia slapped her forehead. That’s right. She was the Second Miss of the Shen family now. What did the Valley of Heavenly Secrets have to do with her?

She nodded seriously. “You’re right.”

Song Jingchen rubbed her head, and a solemn expression flashed across his face. Unfortunately, Shen Yijia was looking down at the things on the stone platform and didn’t see it.

It was unknown how the things inside were preserved, but there was not a trace of dust on the stone platform. If not for the fact that the candlesticks outside the stone door were covered in dust, she would have believed that someone cleaned this place every day.

“What’s this?” Shen Yijia picked up an object shaped like a round dome and knocked on it. It was quite hard.

Song Jingchen said, “A turtle shell.”

Shen Yijia suddenly understood. She took out a handful of copper coins from her pouch and placed them in. She picked them up and shook them. She grinned at Song Jingchen. “Sir, do you want to make a divination?”

The gloominess in Song Jingchen’s heart dissipated because of her actions. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he reached out and touched the turtle shell. “Divination only needs three copper coins.”

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks. “The more the merrier.”

With that, she put all the copper coins back into her pouch and tossed the turtle shell back onto the stone platform. She began to look at other things.

Actually, there were only three things on the stone platform. One was a book, one was a turtle shell, and the other was a box.

Shen Yijia was not interested in books. She picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a jade token the size of a baby’s palm.

The small piece of jade was heavier than Shen Yijia had expected.

The jade token was emerald green in color, translucent and pure, like congealed fat. Two words were engraved on it.

It looked familiar.

Shen Yijia looked up at the words on the portrait, then at the jade pendant, then at the portrait, and the jade pendant…

Before she could compare it, Song Jingchen’s laughter came from the side. “You’re not mistaken. It’s the word ‘Heavenly Secrets’.”

Shen Yijia rubbed her ears with a red face and handed the jade token to Song Jingchen. “Do you think this is valuable?”

Song Jingchen was silent. “It’s more valuable than the night pearl you saw just now.”

Moreover, the fact that this jade token could be placed here was probably not just a question of its value.

Shen Yijia was shocked. She was rich.

Without another word, she stuffed the jade token into Song Jingchen’s hands. “It’s for you.”

This was the most valuable thing she had so far.

It was as if the jade pendant was hers. She did not feel that she had taken someone else’s things at all.

Song Jingchen didn’t say anything and silently put away the jade pendant. He was worried that if he left it with this girl, she would pawn it one day when she lacked money.

He picked up the book and read it. The first half was mostly about how the Valley of Heavenly Secrets assisted the emperor.

For example, when and what hexagrams were divined, and why.

This sounded like a living record.

Song Jingchen casually flipped through it and realized that the second half of the content had suddenly changed. The handwriting didn’t come from the same person.

The more he read, the deeper his frown became.

Shen Yijia was curious. She leaned over to take a look and realized that she could not understand a word. She scratched her head and asked curiously, “What does it say?”

Song Jingchen looked up at her and pursed his lips.

It turned out that at first, the emperor of the previous dynasty had only suppressed the commoners who practiced divination. Later on, he even attacked the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, causing the disciples of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets to suffer heavy losses.
