Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 17 Fallen Goddess

Another day, another escape series.

The Zhuque sect renowned Chaos Duo once again happily leave their sect without informing anyone, making sure that Ko Shun'U won't be able to tail them. Unlike this duo, the others are quite diligent on their studies in every field, so they could be a help to their sect in the future. Not that Wei Ying and Tiao Reinshun are not, they're just simply knew how to relax.

Cangse Sanren once said that all of the kids are talented and smart on their fields, so they don't have to push themselves so hard and they could rest and relax once in a while.

Wei Ying even tries to drag them but it's no use, they keep repeating they are doing it for him, for Wei Ying.

The young master asked what they mean, but they only smile at him. Which makes him curious, but no one wants to answer him, so he complained this to Tiao Reinshun; the girl only sigh and smile, shook her head and pats his shoulder as if comforting him, which only raises his curiosity and confusion.

Putting it in the back of his mind, noting himself to ask it again in the future, the now fourteen years old Wei Ying, and Tiao Reinshun who is currently thirteen, have arrived at the foot of Dafan Mountain.

Before going here, Wei Ying and Tiao Reinshun able to gain information about strange occurrence in this place. From where? Where else but in House of Zhang, the house that keeping information that gathered through various means.

At first, nothing interests the Chaos Duo, until they stumble into certain documents about Dafan Mountain. Feeling all familiar with the place since Myo Qing and Myo Ning were found there, Wei Ying reads it.

One of cases is about a wealthy merchant: according to the documents, the merchant is quite a greedy one, being wealthy and making himself wealthier, but what questionable is despite being all wealthy why is he still staying at foot of Dafan Mountain. People heard that the merchant have found a treasure one day at the mountain, in happiness the merchant threw a banquet, and at the very same night the merchant died.

The second case is about a woman: according to the citizens, the woman's sister is about to marry but then the fiancée of her sister switches his eyes towards the woman, thus they married instead. Three days after consummating their marriage the woman died. At first people close the case saying that the sister must curse her, but they very well known the sister and claimed that she isn't someone who would do it, especially by how much she loves her sister. But who knows?

And the last case is about another woman. This time the lady at age of eighteen desires to enter the imperial palace as a concubine to meet the prince, the one who will be the next in line of throne. It came true, but they heard, and was confirmed by House of Zhang's members that the lady concubine abruptly died right instant she meets the imperial prince. Poison or any of sort were not found in her, and according to the State Preceptor of Imperial Palace, she lost her soul.

Hearing this, the House Zhang reinvestigate the other cases and found that they have similarities, and that is they are all come up at the mountain and pray at Peri, the stone goddess.

Finally, fire has ignited at Wei Ying and Tiao Reinshun, which leads them here now.

Just like Wei Ying remembered, the streets are totally busy; vendors cries how amazing and how cheap their products, madams that are busy gossiping, potential customers looking around and couriers carrying sacks of items in haste, and since they are in such hurry whoever in their ways was shove away not even receiving apologies and instead getting harsh condemnation for being in their way.
