"Bing Er, what nonsense are you talking about? What fight for power? We are a family, we should unite and live in harmony. "The beautiful woman glared at her daughter.
She was afraid that Yue Yang did not know the gravity of the situation, or that he would really contract the Quintet Puppet Mice out of anger.
She stepped forward and patted Yue Yang's shoulder lightly, "San-er, keep it for now. We can study it slowly and understand its use before we contract it. Uncle Zhong, please tell the Clan Master that the Fourth Daughter-in-law and San-er are grateful for the Clan's kindness. If San-er becomes successful in the future, he will repay the Clan with all his heart. "
Hearing the beautiful woman's words, the servant, Uncle Zhong, lowered his head and complied. He then respectfully handed over a special silver-patterned banknote with gold and silver patterns with both hands.
This was the subsidy that every junior in the Yue Clan who had successfully contracted a grimoire would receive.
With this special patterned banknote, Yue Yang could exchange it for a hundred gold in any big city within the Yue Clan.
A hundred gold was not a small amount of money.
Since there was money to accept, Yue Yang naturally accepted it without hesitation. Seeing this, Yue Bing felt a little indignant. She knew that on the surface, everyone would receive a hundred gold, but in reality, the First and Second Daughter-in-law would receive a hundred and fifty gold, or even two hundred gold. When it was her turn, she would receive a hundred and twenty gold. Now that it was her Third Brother's turn, why did he only receive a hundred gold?
This was obviously looking down on others!
"Seventh Sister, don't be angry. It's already good enough to receive a hundred gold." Yue Yang felt that he was not the pitiful guy. It was already good enough that he could receive money even though he was a fake.
As for the Yue Clan members looking down on the beautiful woman and not treating her as a kind and virtuous daughter-in-law, he felt that when he had the power, he would definitely bring the beautiful woman back to the Yue Clan Castle and trample on those arrogant fellows. This way, he would be able to take revenge for the Fourth Daughter-in-law's care and love.
Although he was not the pitiful guy, in reality, he had enjoyed all the love she had for the pitiful guy.
Although he didn't say it on the surface, Yue Yang had the intention to help her vent her anger.
After the old servant Uncle Zhong left, the black-clothed Yue Bing repeatedly warned Yue Yang not to contract the Bronze Grimoire. That would be a waste of the Bronze Grimoire's pages.
Yue Yang nodded on the surface, but he was secretly amused.
The Quintet Puppet Mice invented by the Ghost Genius Yue Gong was practically the most precious puppet beast that the Ghost Genius had ever invented. How could it be trash? Moreover, the Five Element Puppet Mice could be combined into one and coexist on the same page. It was only those who didn't understand the secret of summoning the Five Element Puppet Mice that would separate them into five independent bodies. Splitting it into five was the most foolish and ridiculous thing to do!
In fact, the Five Elements Puppet Mice didn't have such a name.
Its original name was the 'Quintet Seeking Golden Mice', and it had a super strong detection ability towards all kinds of ores, energy items, traps, force fields, and barriers.
For example, where there was a gold mine, they would be able to detect it with just a sniff.
Or where there was a treasure or a buried divine weapon, they would be able to detect it immediately …
The most important thing was that the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice was suitable for any terrain. Any terrain in the world could be adapted to by the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. No matter if it was the blazing River of Fire or the bone-chilling Valley of Ice and Wind, the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice would be able to move freely with their respective attributes. At the same time, because they were all Level 1 Puppet Beasts, they didn't have any fighting power or life force. Even if they entered the territory of some strong beasts, they wouldn't be attacked.
It could be said that these were five treasures that combined detection and treasure hunting into one!
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they were used in battle, they could still discover hidden traps and force fields on the battlefield.
If they weren't so powerful, would the Ghost Genius Yue Gong love them so much?
Yue Yang sighed. The later generations didn't know how to appreciate treasures, and actually treated them as useless trash … What a joke!
Of course, Yue Yang knew this secret, but he wouldn't say it out loud. He only smiled and nodded, indicating that he wouldn't contract the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice.
When the black-clothed Yue Bing and the beautiful woman left, he immediately contracted the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice. A golden light flashed, and five cute little mice of different colours appeared on the fourth page of the Bronze Grimoire. In the middle, there was a mysterious pattern of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth intersecting. On the outside, there were five little mice of different colours, connected head to tail, delicate and cute.
"Alright, let's see if there are any treasures buried nearby!" When Yue Yang summoned them, he realized that the five little mice could be summoned at the same time, and there was no limit to their numbers.
A golden light flashed, and when the five little mice appeared, their small eyes made of five coloured gems immediately lit up.
They all ran towards the same location, making squeaking sounds.
On the blank fourth page of the Bronze Grimoire, a line of words magically appeared: Discovered gold, small amount; Discovered jade-type energy item, large amount of energy stored …
Yue Yang was so happy that he jumped three feet in joy.
He had always suspected that the pitiful guy, who had committed suicide by jumping into the river, still had his belongings, because there was no money in the pitiful guy's room. Since the pitiful guy had jumped into the river to commit suicide, he couldn't have taken all his money with him to commit suicide, right? There was definitely something left behind, but Yue Yang didn't know where the pitiful guy had hidden it. He couldn't have found it even after searching for half a month. Now that the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice had moved out, they had found the place. What made Yue Yang even more surprised was that they could also roughly judge the quantity and use of the items. Their function was not as simple as finding the place where the treasures were hidden.
With these five little things, his future treasure hunting journey would be much smoother!
Yue Yang dug out the wooden box that was buried under the floor tiles and opened it. He discovered that there was indeed all of the pitiful guy's' belongings' inside.
There were fifteen gold coins, sixty-two silver coins, and several hundred copper coins in a small leather bag. Other than the pitiful guy's childhood wooden toys, childhood clothes and two 'diaries' that his parents had left for him, there was also a black and swarthy jade necklace that had an ordinary appearance.
If the Quintet Seeking Golden Mice had not judged that this jade necklace contained a large amount of energy, Yue Yang wouldn't have dared to confirm that this necklace was really a treasure.
Yue Yang discovered that his [Divine Vision] Inherent Skill was actually unable to see through this ordinary looking necklace.
"This, should be the treasure that the pitiful guy's parents had left for him. It's a pity that they died early and didn't tell the pitiful guy in time. Hence, the pitiful guy didn't know that this was a treasure and treated it as trash, keeping it with his childhood toys and clothes. Alright, now it's mine! " Yue Yang was just worried that he didn't have anything to prove that he was the pitiful guy. Now that this black jade necklace could be used, he immediately wore it.
After keeping the gold coins, he placed the wooden toys and childhood clothes back into the wooden box and buried them back under the floor tiles.
He then flipped open the 'diaries' that the pitiful guy's parents had written. On the surface, this was a diary that the parents had written about how much they missed their son, recording every little detail of their lives. However, with Yue Yang's [Divine Vision] Inherent Skill, he could tell that these two diaries weren't that simple.
They must have used some kind of invisibility potion or a secret technique to record some important things.
It was a pity that Yue Yang's [Divine Vision] level was not high enough, so he couldn't see through it.
"Thank you two elders, I will treasure the fruits of your labor!" The shameless Yue Yang kept the two books in his bosom. He really thought that he was the pitiful guy.
After receiving the pitiful guy's bountiful belongings, Yue Yang's mood was especially good.
His sleep was also exceptionally sweet.
In his dreams, the Heavenly Sword Goddess that he hadn't seen for a long time had miraculously appeared.
