Chapter 275 The Dragon Robe Appears, the Luo Family's End

"Shh!"

Seeing Wenwen's gesture to silence him, Wen Chengbin quickly covered his mouth.

The divine senses of the others spread out immediately.

"Butler, let's stop the embroidery work here for today."

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to work overtime to finish it? It's only been a short while."

"Butler, it's late. The embroiderer's eyes and hands need to rest fully, otherwise the embroidery will not be to your liking."

"...Are you trying to intimidate me by using your adult status?"

"No, no, butler, what makes you say that?"

"Hmph, give it a rest. Let's start earlier tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, butler, please take care."

"Alright, you guys pack your things and get some rest. Come back early tomorrow."

"Shopkeeper, we understand."

After a while, the sound of rustling footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

People with different levels of cultivation can always recognize the final footsteps, regardless of whether they hear them or not.

Once the commotion had completely subsided, Wenwen said, "This place is connected to the mountain villa!"

Wen Qilin: "Is the person who was talking to the butler the same one who was scolded by Luo Qianyou today?"

Wen Qiyuan: "It seems to be him. It sounds like he also manages a group of embroiderers."

Wen Chengjian: "Then, shall we go over there?"

Wen Chengbin: "Brother, what kind of question is that? Shall we go?"

Wenwen: "...Let's go."

Wenwen thought to herself: Her second brother can't even hear her, yet he's pretending to know everything. She's really impressed with him.

Actually, although Wen Chengbin couldn't hear it, he could guess the meaning from those few words with a high degree of accuracy, because he was a smart man!

Wen Qilin led the way, following the side entrance all the way there.

This time the path was more winding and complicated, sometimes going up steps, sometimes down steps, sometimes through narrow passages, sometimes through spacious halls, twisting and turning until finally reaching a small secret room. A quick scan with his divine sense revealed some ledgers and letters in the secret room, which he copied and restored to their original state.

There were several more traps after we left the secret room.

These mechanisms were just for show; they easily bypassed them and arrived at a very spacious embroidery room.

On the left side of the room were several embroidery frames, and the table was covered with embroidery threads of various colors. On another table was a large ball of gold thread. This thing was extremely eye-catching. Even a small candle could make it dazzling, let alone the fact that the room was brightly lit, as bright as day, and the ceiling was inlaid with several luminous pearls. The light made the ball of gold thread almost blind everyone.

Everyone shifted their gaze from the table to the center of the room.

Everyone gasped in shock.

hiss--

God!

My goodness!

In the middle of the room hung a yellow robe embroidered with nine dragons. Although the dragon claws were not yet finished, it was clear that this was an unfinished dragon robe!

A dragon robe!

In the Zhongzhao Kingdom, yellow represents supreme status.

The robe is embroidered with nine dragons, which signifies the supreme ruler, the current emperor!

What does the appearance of this dragon robe at the Luo family manor signify?

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

Luo Qianyou is plotting a rebellion and wants to become emperor!

First came the food, then the weapons, and finally this dragon robe.

Every single thing is laid out clearly.

Luo Qianyou is willing to join forces with foreign enemies to overthrow the Zhongzhao Kingdom, disregarding the lives of its people. The Luo family is doomed.

Wen Qilin's worries were confirmed at this moment, and his heart calmed down.

Wen Qiyuan smirked and teased, "Well, so this is the dragon robe! I've never seen one this close before. Brother, come on, let's take a few steps forward and take a closer look."

Wen Chengbin became even more talkative, "Oh my god, this is a dragon robe? My goodness, how much of this shiny stuff did they add? It must weigh at least eight ounces, if not a pound! This is too, too what was it again, little sister?"

"Amazing!" Wenwen chimed in, leaning closer to look. "This embroiderer is amazing! Brother, look, those claws are so realistic. If I get too close, I'm worried they'll reach out and scratch me."

Wen Chengjian: "...More than that, look at its mouth, if you call it, it will probably answer you immediately."

Wen Chengbin: "Hahaha, brother is right. Look at their teeth, don't they look like the monster we fought the other day? Awooo—"

Wenwen...

She really didn't know what to say; no one could learn her second brother's optimism.

Wenwen forced herself to say, "Second Brother, dragons are mythical beasts. Maybe we'll encounter one in the future."

"Huh? Really?"

"Hahaha...you kids, stop being naughty."

The reason they were so bold, laughing and joking like that inside, was because they had used a smokescreen and set up a soundproof array. No one outside could hear anything from there unless someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining came and broke through it.

With this protective layer, Wenwen didn't hesitate to take out her camera to record videos for posterity. The embroidery was an intangible cultural heritage, and of course, the dragon robe was too.

Her family knows about and has used all these modern electronic gadgets. Since her cultivation level improved, these gadgets work perfectly here, except for the lack of signal. Of course, all apps that require data will run in circles, but the photo and video recording functions work normally.

From the Yanqian Mountains to here, whenever time and space allowed, she took it out countless times, taking pictures here and there, recording here and there. Her family had gotten used to it; once this thing appeared, it wouldn't stop for at least half a cup of tea's time.

click!

Wen Chengbin watched as Wenwen kept taking pictures of the dragon robe, from every angle, 360 degrees. And that wasn't enough; she even recorded a video while asking herself all sorts of questions and explaining herself. In the end, she didn't stop until after half a cup of tea had been brewed.

"Phew—perfect."

Seeing her put away her iPad, Wen Chengbin leaned over and whispered, "Little sister, do you like this dress?"

"Hmm? How did you figure that out, Second Brother?"

"Second brother, are you mistaken? You've been taking pictures of this outfit for so long, surely you're not?"

Wenwen answered decisively, "Of course not. First of all, I don't like yellow. Secondly, this dress is very complicated, with three layers inside and three layers outside. It's too troublesome to wear and it's inconvenient to take big steps. I like the embroidery because it's well done."

"Hey, what's so great about this embroidery? You're really something... Brother, you tell me."

Wen Chengjian laughed and said, "Sister, Mother's embroidery skills are even better than this."

Wenwen: How could she not know? Is she trying to humiliate her own family? Oh dear, I'll have to apologize to my mother when I get home. But there's someone here who knows my mother best; she can ask my father.

Wenwen turned to look at Wen Qilin, her lips curving into a sweet smile, and said, "Father, is what Big Brother said true? I haven't seen Mother pick up any needle and thread."

Wen Qilin was discussing something with Wen Qiyuan when he heard their conversation and replied, "Your mother hasn't used a needle and thread for many years."

Wenwen, puzzled, asked directly, "Why?"

Wen Qilin just smiled and didn't answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Do you still want to watch? If not, then we're leaving."

"Don't look at it."

They've seen the key points; now they need to go out and discuss it.

Instead of returning the way they came, guided by their divine sense, they left the embroidery room and soon arrived at the backyard of the manor.

The group left the manor without anyone noticing, returned to the cave by the stream, restored the manor's genius passage to its original state, summoned back the eagle, and flew towards the vine-covered mountain next to the mine.
