Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 354 Gravekeeper

Sheng Yuqing was silent for a moment, then said, "There's a traitor around Yuning, and the news has leaked out. Someone higher up is interested in the Underground Palace and has sent people to investigate.

These people are not ordinary thieves, they can't be killed in one go. I sent people to track down Yuning's whereabouts, thinking of killing all those around him who knew about it, and then bringing him back. But..."

But the third brother chose to die.

"Traitor?" Sheng Yu'an frowned. "How could there be a traitor? Everyone around Third Brother is a fearless hero! How could there be a traitor? You didn't make it up on purpose to evade your own guilt, did you?"

Sheng Yuqing said, "If there were no traitors, how could those people chase us to Xinchuanling so quickly? As soon as my people left, they discovered that a group of people had entered Xinchuanling and were heading straight for where Yuning was camping.

Fortunately, these people only knew the name of the tomb seeker Wuming, and did not know that Wuming was Yuning. Otherwise, the entire Sheng family would have been buried with him.

Sheng Yu'an looked at him doubtfully.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the whole story." Sheng Yuqing took a sip of tea.

"I've asked you this many times over the years, but you ignored me. Why are you suddenly willing to tell me now?" Sheng Yu'an asked.

"The situation is serious, and the Sheng family's current situation is not optimistic. After the separation, everything you do will only be related to you. I don't have to keep these secrets anymore." Sheng Yuqing said.

Sheng Yuan felt mixed emotions.

He originally thought that if he found out that it was really the eldest or second brother who killed the third brother, he would make them pay with their lives.

But now I know the truth.

He knew he couldn't do it.

"Yu'an, I have never known whether what I did to Yuning was right or wrong, but that result was not what I wanted. So, when you took the same path as Yuning, I changed to another method. Now that I think about it, maybe it was wrong at that time..." Sheng Yuqing said bitterly with his eyes lowered.

Sheng Yu'an stood up, turned his back to him, and said, "Whether he was wrong or not, Third Brother has always respected and loved you. He would write home every time he went out, and in every letter he would ask about you."

Sheng Yuqing suddenly raised his head.

"Since you know about the Underground Fairy Palace, you should also know about the Demonic Book, right? You must have guessed that it was a letter from my third brother. I hated you, so I deliberately hid the part about you in every letter. Although your relationship with my third brother was very strained at that time, he always cared about you."

Sheng Yu'an left after saying this.

He actually always knew that the eldest brother was very important to the third brother, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Sheng Yuqing was silent for a long time, and a very bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile was even more desolate than crying.

At that time, he did not agree with Yu Ning's exploration of the mausoleum, so he deliberately ignored him, and the relationship between the two was very strained.

"I should talk to him properly..."

The Sheng family is not at peace, and the Bai family is not at peace either.

A letter came from Yangcheng saying that the whereabouts of the second young lady had been discovered and that the head of the family had close contacts with her.

Bai Yishui held the letter in his hand, his face extremely gloomy.

"No wonder Xun'er hasn't come back since he went to Yangcheng for so long. It turns out he hid Nanchun there."

Bai Shan sighed: "The Patriarch is still too attached to friendship. This is both good and bad."

"As the head of a family, this is definitely not a good thing! This is clearly telling everyone what my weaknesses are! Alas, I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted, nor should I have taken it slow. I should have killed him directly!" Bai Yishui gritted his teeth.

"Old patriarch, don't be anxious. Since the patriarch didn't take the initiative to mention the matter of the second young lady, it means he still has some concerns. Why don't you take this opportunity to mention the matter of making Concubine Han the legal wife? It is not in accordance with the rules for the dignified patriarch of the Bai family to not have a legal wife." Bai Shan stepped forward to add some tea to Bai Yishui.

Bai Yishui thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to Xun'er, and also to Song'er. If Xun'er ignores them, let Song'er be a witness."

Han Bailing was standing by the pond, scattering fish food in his hand.

After listening to the servant's report, she couldn't help laughing.

"Girl, is this good news?" Xiao Liu asked.

Han Bailing shook his head and said, "Our old patriarch doesn't want to live a peaceful life at all. He will always find something to make trouble for even if there is nothing to do. Just wait and see, there will be trouble in the near future!"

When Bai Xun received the telegram from the old house, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

I'm angry, but some things need to be made clear.

When Bai Xun arrived at Xiyan Building, Nanchun was drawing a blueprint.

"what is this?"

Nanchun looked up at him and said, "A map of Xinchuanling. I think my concept is correct, but... I haven't found the real underground palace. I thought about drawing it out and studying it carefully to see if there's anything important I've missed."

Bai Xun stood behind him, looked at it for a while, and said, "Don't you think this tomb... looks like a dragon riding on the clouds?"

"What?" Nanchun looked at him.

"Stand up and look over there from a distance," Bai Xun said. "This is the dragon's head, this hole is the dragon's eye, and this patch of mist over here looks like a dragon soaring through the clouds..."

Nanchun took the picture away, stood up and looked over.

It really looks like a flying dragon.

Yes, that maze was just an illusion, just treat it as a cloud of mist.

He had been inexplicably trapped in that maze before.

If that part of the maze is removed, the parts on this side will form a flying dragon.

If it is a flying dragon, then the stone-like tree in the cave in the middle palace is not a tree, but a dragon claw.

Dragon Claw...

He hurriedly took the drawing and carefully recalled the appearance of the stone.

The huge stone pillars are not tree trunks but dragon legs.

The stones on the ground are like thick tree roots, twisting and swirling, and deeply rooted in the ground.

How many are there?

Nanchun closed her eyes and tried hard to recall.

one two three four……

The dragon on the stone gate has five claws.

There should also be five claws here, it is impossible to have only four claws.

Where is the missing claw?

Nanchun covered his chest, his heart was beating fast.

He hurriedly took out the jade pendant that his grandfather had given him when he left home.

The fifth claw is hidden underneath, not carved in, but an impurity originally present in the jade. The craftsman cleverly used the shadow effect to transform that spot into a hidden claw.

Nanchun clenched the jade pendant tightly, hugged Baixun, and said excitedly: "Grandpa has never lied to me, and Grandpa has never lied to me!"

The ancestors of the Nan family were indeed gravekeepers.

And the tomb they are guarding is not an ordinary tomb, but an underground fairy palace.

Nanchun burst into tears.

"That mausoleum is truly magnificent... It's filled with countless rare treasures, and the mechanisms within are incredibly ingenious... Many tomb robbers have perished there. The Nan family is incredibly loyal, willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the mausoleum. Bai Xun, everything Grandpa said is true!"
