Chapter 651
The Emperor narrated the story of the Ancient Four’s origins.
The Ancient Four dated back to a thousand years ago. “Prince of Orchid Mountain?”
James frowned.
There was no record of this person in history. He glanced at the Emperor and asked, “Who’s that?” The Emperor shook his head.
He also did not know who the Prince of Orchid Mountain was.
“How would i know about a person that existed a thousand years ago? Moreover, very little is recorded about him in the ancient scrolls of the Ancient Four.”
“Mr. Johnston, why are you explaining so much to him?” Bobby said dissatisfiedly.
The Emperor waved his hand and said, “Bobby, James is also a descendant of the Cadens. He should know about the history of his family. Plus, the things I’m telling him aren’t secrets anyway.”
Bobby stopped interfering. His hand was broken, and he could not gather any strength in his arm.
He waited patiently. When the people he arranged in Cansington to retrieve the chest unearthed from the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s ancient tomb in the House of Royal, he would find a place to heal his injury.
“I only know that the Prince of Orchid Mountain was a man from a thousand years ago. I think he was the younger brother of an emperor. He was exiled after failing to claim the crown. However, he was not satisfied. He collected the world’s treasures and wealth. He wanted to make a comeback but could not claim the throne until his death. Before his death, he handed
over the four paintings to his four officials for safekeeping. “It’s rumored that a huge secret is hidden within the four paintings. Apparently, the Prince of Orchid Mountain did not want the four paintings to be put together, so he deliberately separated them.
“He never said anything about the way to unlock the secrets hidden with the four paintings. “It wasn’t until the last few decades that people from the Ancient Four realized the key item to unraveling the secret was in a chest buried inside the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain after they went through their family’s ancient scrolls. Therefore, the Ancient Four spent dozens of years investigating the whereabouts of the ancient tomb of the Prince of Orchid Mountain.”
James listened carefully to the untold histories of his family.
Now, he was curious about the relationship between the meridian and acupuncture diagrams inside the bronze chest and the four paintings.
He had seen the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge before.
It was a simple landscape painting.
