Chapter 822 An Abundance Of Old Friends (Part Two)
"You mean what's recorded in the Heavenly Book are the cultivation methods of the Qin Clan?"Matthew was rather surprised. The Heavenly Books of the four kingdoms' royal families were afterwere actually written by the Qin Clan. Inside the books were no more than a few cultivation methods.This was so ironic to him because the royal families of the four kingdoms all thought that what waswritten in the book were records of the ways on how humans could live forever. If they had known thatthere were only cultivation methods in those books, they would seriously be enraged.
"Then the Qin Clan had been annihilated by?"
"Someone else." Harper told Matthew everything she found out from the queen of South Kingdom.Meanwhile, Matthew's face became solemn while he carefully listened to her every word. If there was ahidden force that had exterminated the Qin Clan, then it must be a very powerful one. If these peopleknew about Harper and found her, Matthew was not sure whether he would be able to protect her.
"I won't let anyone hurt you." Matthew suddenly became uneasy.
"And just the same, I won't allow anyone to lay a finger on me so easily. If these people even dare tocome to me, I won't let them go! After all, they murdered every single one of my family," Harper firmlyexclaimed.
Matthew nodded and agreed with her. "It seems like we have to get the Heavenly Books as soon aspossible. As for the Sacred Seal of the Wonder Kingdom, we'll get it after we're done with the books."
"Actually, I've already asked Kile Murong to help me in finding out the whereabouts of the Sacred Seal,"Harper said.
"Kile Murong?" Murong was the surname of a royal family in the Wonder Kingdom. A man came toMatthew's mind when he heard the name. As he remembered, the third prince of the Wonder Kingdomwas named Kile. "Is the third prince of the Wonder Kingdom a friend of yours?" he asked.
Harper nodded with a smile, "We became friends many years ago after we got off a bad start."
The expression on Matthew's face became a bit sour after he knew this fact. He just recently found outthat his wife knew the young master of the Phoenix City and they had a close relationship. And now, hewas finding out that his wife knew the third prince of the Wonder Kingdom, and they were close as well.But the most surprising thing was that when they met the third prince in the South Kingdom, he andHarper didn't show any signs of knowing one another, especially that coward prince. ‘That brat musthave been pretending,' Matthew thought the whole matter in his mind. He decided that he woulddefinitely teach Kile a lesson when he saw him next time!
"Harp, when did you get to know all of these people?"
"I met Kile when I was out gathering herbs with my uncle."
"That means you've been friends for many years." At this new information, Matthew felt a bit jealous.He started to compare his relationship with Harper to her relationship with Kile and that guy fromPhoenix City. He thought that he had known Harper for far too short and he just got along with her nottoo long ago. Name any of her friends and they knew Harper for a longer time than he did. Although itcould be said that he had known Harper for many years as well, there was a long time that he had onlyheard of her name before actually getting to know her.
"Yes, we've been friends for many years. I almost couldn't recognize him the last time I saw him in theSouth Kingdom. He's still as mischievous as before. I was actually surprised when he pretended to notknow me. He did it so well that I almost got deceived by him," Harper confirmed.
Matthew took hold of Harper's hand and said, "They've known you for way longer than I have. Isuddenly feel like I didn't spend enough time with you. In the future, I have to be by your side moreoften than before, lest these people appear out of nowhere and take you away."
"Then you must keep a close watch on your wife, Darling. Otherwise, you'll have no one to blame whenshe's taken away someday," Harper playfully said while laughing.novelbin
"Seems like you're asking for some good spanking! If anyone dares to take my wife from me, my swordwill show no mercy. Well then, if they get hurt by my sword, don't blame me for being ruthless,"Matthew said while eyeing Harper from the corner of his eyes.
"Alright, alright. I don't doubt it. You bring death to the battleground. Everyone is so afraid of you. Ifanyone dares to steal me from you, they're asking for a painful death." Harper readily agreed withMatthew while gently stroking his head. She knew that only when the lion was satisfied and happycould she have a peaceful time.
"By the way, there seems to be something wrong with Felton. You should go and see him when youhave the time," Matthew suddenly said. It was actually hard for him to be this lenient. If it were in thepast, he would never allow Harper to stay with another man by herself.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since we came back. He should have run out of his medicine bynow. I need to make a new prescription for him. Actually, I have acquired a lot of valuable things frommy 'trip' to the Labyrinth Swamp. I think I'll come back there some other time," Harper said afterthinking about it for a while.
All this time, Patrick had been sleeping so soundly in a corner. But when it heard that the LabyrinthSwamp had been mentioned, it instantly opened its eyes. Then, it jumped on Harper's shoulders, anddanced with so much excitement. It looked as if it liked the idea of going to the Labyrinth Swamp somuch.
Patrick's sudden aggressive and carefree attitude was way too much in Matthew's eyes, so henarrowed his eyes. He then waved his hand and knocked Patrick away from Harper's shoulder. Patrick
fell on the ground and rolled over several times. With a confused look, it couldn't understand whyMatthew did that. But it quickly got up and rushed straight to Harper.
However, it wasn't as lucky this time. Before it could make it to Harper, it was shaken away by a strongwind that it nearly passed out. But this time, it understood that someone was trying to mess with it.
Patrick jumped up from the ground once again, put its hand on the waist, and pointed at Matthew'snose. Then it furiously squeaked so loud that Harper quickly tried to calm it down. Seeing that itsmaster was such a coward in front of Matthew, it immediately raised its sharp claws and pounced onMatthew. If a Holy Beast like Patrick didn't show the power that it had, it might be treated as a merepet.
"Meow!" With a scream, Patrick slid down against the wall and fell to the ground. After a long time, itslowly got up. Taking a look at Matthew, it lunged at him again. But as soon as Matthew casually wavedhis hand, Patrick met the same fate and was thrown against the wall, time and again. Harper shook herhead and walked out.
"You guys have fun. I'm going to see Felton now," Harper said with a shrug.
