Chapter 718: Who Is Jealous?

Of course, the precious materials and crystal stones that were required to arrange and maintain a complex array were unimaginable.

Nangong Yu nodded and said, “This array should have evolved from an ancient array. Many complicated arrays are removed from it. Relatively speaking, it is not difficult to crack. At best, it can only be regarded as a fifth grade array.”

“If the original array here is now, it won’t be so easy for me to crack it.”

Hexi’s eyes looked yearning for it. She couldn’t help but said, “Array is really wonderful, I also want to learn.”

Nangong Yu rubbed her head and smiled pampering, “Okay, I will teach you!”

The two followed the passage all the way and soon came to a place similar to a pill refining room.

The most conspicuous thing in this room was not the pill furnace and the table, but the portrait hanging behind the table.

The woman in the portrait had a cold expression, but her face and eyes were beautiful. She was Nalan Hexi’s biological mother – An Lingyue.

Nangong Yu saw the portrait of An Lingyue, and his face showed a clear look of surprise.

After that, he stared at the portrait blankly. He was in a daze for a long while; he couldn’t even hear Hexi calling him.

Hexi was a little unhappy inexplicably, and she leaned close to Nangong Yu’s ear and said quietly, “Why? Isn’t she beautiful?”

Nangong Yu suddenly recovered, and he immediately reflexively said, “Xi’er is the most beautiful in my heart.”

“Cut it!” Hexi snorted coldly, “I saw you were in a daze looking at it. You just almost didn’t drool. You still say that she is not pretty?”

Nangong Yu looked at the little girl in front of him staring at him with her nose wrinkled, and he couldn’t help laughing.

He hugged the little girl in his arms, pinched her nose, and smiled very happily and sweetly, “Xi’er, you are so cute! You can even be jealous of a portrait, but how you look like when you are jealous!”

Seeing Hexi getting angry, he quickly said, “Don’t worry, except Xi’er, other women look the same to me. Even if they stand naked in front of me, I won’t be moved.”

Hexi wanted to sullenly refute his “who is jealous”, but she couldn’t help smiling.

Nangong Yu felt that she was more beautiful the more he looked at her. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, then he continued, “Xi’er, this woman is a bit familiar to me as if I have seen her before? Hmm... it seems I saw her a long time ago.”

Hexi said, “Don’t think about it, she is Nalan Hexi’s mother An Lingyue, and you have seen her portrait in Hundred Herb Mist, so it’s normal to look familiar!”

Nangong Yu shook his head and said, “The portrait of An Lingyue in Hundred Herb Mist has gentler eyebrows. At that time, I just thought she was like you, so I didn’t think much about it. But now I see this painting, but I always feel a little familiar. Where did I seen it?”

“Don’t think about it! There are similar people and similar things. Maybe you saw it wrong?”

Nangong Yu nodded thoughtfully, “Maybe!”

The two wandered around the room for a while, and they soon found another secret passage leading to the deeper underground.

Hexi had a hunch that the things hid in this secret path was the real secret of Nalan Zhengze.

The two concealed their traces and walked quickly into the secret passage.
