Chapter 3303 - 3304: He Wouldn’t Kill Him to Keep Him Quiet, Would He?
"What?"
The minister saw the lord in secret heading out and quickly followed.
Is there really a record of the mutant child-death flower in the Ghost Book Pavilion? Many ministers have been to the Ghost Book Pavilion and never seen it.
Could it be that someone saw it and then destroyed the records of the mutant child-death flower?
One must say, the minister indeed hit upon the truth.
When they arrived at the Ghost Book Pavilion, the lord in secret went to where he remembered seeing the records of the mutant child-death flower, searched through all the books, and couldn’t find the book.
"It was clearly here, how could it be gone?"
He was still somewhat incredulous and continued to flip through the books, already on his second pass, afraid he might have missed it the first time.
The books in the Ghost Book Pavilion are not randomly placed. Wherever one takes them from, they’re put back in the same spot, and they’re not allowed to be rearranged or moved to a different location.
And he was certain he had seen the records of the mutant child-death flower in this place.
So...
"Did someone come and take this book away?"
After a long time, he finally realized this truth: someone had taken it, which is why he couldn’t find it.
"Lord in secret, who could take books from the Ghost Book Pavilion?" the minister asked softly.
Even the lord in secret could only borrow books from the Ghost Book Pavilion; they needed to be returned after reading and logged.
"Unless it is..."
"Shut up!"
Before the minister could say anything, the lord in secret interrupted him.
He certainly didn’t believe the Ghost Emperor would take the records of the mutant child-death flower away.
But only the Ghost Emperor could take books from the Ghost Book Pavilion without any logging. If not the Ghost Emperor, then who could it be?
The minister pursed his lips and said no more.
However, in his heart, he already deeply suspected the Ghost Emperor. If anyone would try to make a dangerous flower, the Ghost Emperor would be highly suspect. Moreover, the Ghost Emperor really doesn’t care about the Ghost Clan’s common people.
The lives of people in the Ghost Clan mean nothing to the Ghost Emperor.
"Lord in secret, what should we do now? Investigate the whereabouts of that book?" he asked.
Hearing this, the lord in secret glanced at him.
If investigating the whereabouts of a book could find out who took those infants, that would be too simple.
"You continue to guard those areas; I’m going to the Ghost Emperor to inquire," he commanded.
"Yes, lord in secret."
The minister responded and turned to leave.
Initially, he planned to report to the lord in secret and then report to the Ghost Emperor, but now...
He really doubted whether he could come back out if he went to the Ghost Emperor. Wouldn’t the Ghost Emperor want to silence him?
Upon arriving outside the Ghost Book Pavilion, he raised a hand to touch the back of his neck, feeling it’s very likely.
"Could it really be him?"
Inside the Ghost Book Pavilion, the lord in secret also harbored such suspicion, though he truly didn’t want to believe that his brother could be such a person.
...
"Captured a mutant child-death flower?"
In the Ghost Emperor’s palace, he also received the report from the ghost guards and learned about what happened in Seven’s household.
"I really underestimated them, being able to capture the mutant child-death flower. If I’d known, I should have destroyed that thing back then!"
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
But when he went to dig the mutant child-death flower himself back then, he didn’t see the larger one.
