Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 717

In the Secret Pavilion, seeing the mammoth collection of books arranged in rows, Harper felt a headache coming on. Although she knew that the royal family of the Bright Dynasty had a hobby of collecting books about rare secrets, these many books were way out of her expectation. Even though this building was built at the bottom of the lake, the air inside was surprisingly dry, with no moisture.

"We have to look for it separately," Harper suggested at once. The collection of books in the Secret Pavilion was gargantuan. If both she and Matthew were to search together, it wasn't possible to tell when they would find the one they wanted. Therefore, the better option was to search for it separately, as that would help in saving some time.

Matthew nodded his head in agreement. The two of them moved to different places and began searching for the book which recorded the history and secrets of the Qin Clan. They strongly believed that they would find some trace here because it was impossible for some common people to destroy the Qin Clan. Only a powerful class like the royal family of the Bright Dynasty could destroy the Qin Clan. No other forces would be that capable. Moreover, they suspected that the royal family of the Bright Dynasty was actually searching for the missing Heavenly Book all these years, instead of looking for the reason behind Qin Clan's elimination.

Harper was good at spotting things. Among all those shelves filled with piles of books, it was not an easy task to search for the specific one which recorded the story of the Qin Clan. Fortunately, both of them were good searchers. It didn't take long for them to locate the one they wanted.

"Harp, I think I have found something. Come here," Matthew called and asked Harper to come over. Harper hurried over and took the book from his hand. She rushed through the pages, searching for relevant information and discarding whatever wasn't useful. This book recorded the fact that the members of the Qin Clan had magic power. It described the Qin Clan to be a very mysterious family. It even said that the Qin Clan was the main cause which led to the existence of the four countries in the world as of today.

"It's strange. How could the Qin Clan be related to the union or the split-up of the whole world? You know, the world would be divided into different countries at one time and would also be unified at some other. It's just nature's rule. Why does it have something to do with the Qin Clan according to the book?" Harper asked in surprise.

Matthew shook his head and replied, "I don't know much about it. But I have heard that the Qin Clan manipulated the destruction of the previous dynasty and promoted the present political situation of the world."

Harper grew more stunned. 'What on earth is the Qin Clan? How could it overturn the previous dynasty and produce four different countries? Was it just an ordinary clan with some extraordinary skills?' she pondered inwardly.

"It is written that the Qin Clan came from another place. Which is this another place?" Harper asked herself. She had been of the belief that the sooner she would get into this place and find out the relevant book, the sooner she would learn about the hidden secrets of the Qin Clan. But on the contrary, she just ended up more confused about them. The only thing she confirmed was that the Qin Clan owned very strong power. But still, all the members of it were killed overnight. It was unbelievable that such a powerful clan went extinct in such a short period of time.
