He watched Gu Qingfeng enter and also told Lin Xiao everything Gu Qingfeng had done.
Upon hearing that Gu Qingfeng had bowed to the Lin family's graves, Lin Xiao said, "There's nothing left there. Let him do as he pleases, as long as he doesn't disturb my parents' rest down below."
"Yes."
The Nether Doctor knew Gu Qingfeng must have sensed his presence here, so he made no effort to hide. He followed Gu Qingfeng into the grand manor.
"Why are you here too?"
After a long period of looking around the manor, Gu Qingfeng said to the Nether Doctor who had appeared beside him.
"Brother Xiao said I should follow you, as long as you don't disturb the rest of his elders," the Nether Doctor said, pointing towards the cemetery outside.
"Naturally. I'm after the Lin family's legacy, not grave robbing," Gu Qingfeng replied.
However, a thought flashed through his mind – perhaps something truly would be in that cemetery...
No, that couldn't be right. The people from the Heaven's Alliance had already dug up the graves.
Therefore, he might as well look around this manor to see if anything had been overlooked.
Even though the hope was slim, he held onto it.
An hour later, Gu Qingfeng had searched every corner of the manor. For a master of the Earth Ranking, it was easy to find something out of place in such a dwelling. However, he found nothing.
"This shouldn't be."
Gu Qingfeng remained unconvinced. It wasn't just the Lin family; his own Gu family, besides the Cold Jade, also had some inherited locations from their ancestors. Not many, but some.
Many things couldn't be taken away. The land where one's ancestors resided was the imprint of their family...
Wait.
Land? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Gu Qingfeng suddenly looked down at his feet.
Everything in the manor had been taken, but perhaps something lay beneath it?
With this thought, he went directly into the courtyard.
He lightly stomped his foot on the ground.
A surge of true qi swept across the ground.
Indeed!
He sensed it – there was a space underground!
Clearly, the Nangong family and the Heaven's Alliance people at the time had not discovered what was beneath the ground. Four years had passed, and even Lin Xiao himself hadn't returned to check this place. There were clues below!
Seeing the joy on Gu Qingfeng's face, the Nether Doctor immediately reported to Lin Xiao.
"Brother Xiao, he seems to have discovered something beneath the manor."
"Underground? What could be there?"
Lin Xiao was a little surprised. As far as he remembered, they had moved to this place when he was in primary school. He had never seen his parents or grandparents bury anything underground.
Wait... underground?!
Burying things?!
Lin Xiao remembered something and immediately said, "Don't let him do anything! I'll be right there!"
After saying this, Luo Qinghan, who was beside him coaxing their child to sleep, gave him an annoyed look. "Don't disturb the child's sleep!"
"I'll... be back soon. Don't wait for me..."
With that, he sped out again.
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng had already made his move. He raised his hand, and the surge of true qi he had injected underground broke through the ground, sending dust flying.
"Brother Xiao... it might be too late."
The Nether Doctor said, watching the scene unfold. He had already rushed forward with all his might and blocked Gu Qingfeng. "Brother Xiao said you cannot continue."
