Mu Jingheng was reborn, so he naturally knew where the things they were looking for were. Coincidentally, those things were in the cave that Xu Xinning and her brother had discovered.

Actually, there's more to that cave than meets the eye; it's been converted into a large warehouse. Only the shallow entrance remains unchanged, so the bats still like to nest there.

Moreover, those people are also experts; some of them know how to set up formations.

The reason why the sinkhole is so eerie is because the formations arranged there are effective.

The strange stories in the village were also spread by people to prevent others from discovering what was there.

In his previous life, Mu Jingheng only returned to that place with Jiang Juecheng long after Xu Xinning's death, and they endured a lot of hardship to complete the mission.

But this life is different. Xu Xinning is fine, which means that the Xu family will not repeat the tragedy of the previous life. Before Mu Jingheng told Jiang Juecheng about the existence of the cave, Mu Jingheng first obtained Xu Xinning's consent. After all, Xu Xinning was the one who discovered the place, and he is now under Xu Xinning's leadership. Without the leader's approval, how could he dare to act rashly?

To gain Xu Xinning's consent, he would inevitably have to reveal his current identity to her.

Mu Jingheng was very self-aware. He felt that since the two of them had decided to be together and wanted to live happily ever after, they had to be honest with each other. Although there were some secret missions that couldn't be told, there were always things that could be said if they picked and chose. Xu Xinning should be able to understand.

"Wife..." Mu Jingheng leaned closer to Xu Xinning and said in a cheeky tone.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xinning interrupted him with a sharp glare.

Mu Jingheng really liked this feeling; he felt extremely at ease with Xu Xinning's vivid personality.

Mu Jingheng touched his nose and said softly, "It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so it's all the same whether it's called sooner or later, and it sounds nice."

Seeing that Xu Xinning didn't stop him, he said again, "Wife, I have something to tell you."

Xu Xinning glanced at him, put down the book in her hand, and then sat up straight, waiting for Mu Jingheng to confess.

To be honest, Xu Xinning was quite curious about what he would say. Since she had nothing else to do at the moment, she decided to listen for fun.

Mu Jingheng was quite pleased with Xu Xinning's cooperation, so he told her about his mission and the two people who were participating in the mission, Jiang Juecheng and Xu Mingyang.

In fact, Xu Xinning had noticed something, but since they didn't say anything, she didn't point it out.

Xu Xinning: "You want the recipe for the Resurrection Pill?"

Mu Jingheng: "If we find it, we'd like to keep it, but that's not our main purpose. The details are confidential, and I can't tell you."

Xu Xinning frowned, feeling uneasy that so many people coveted her tomb, as if some lecherous men were always curious about her boudoir.

Xu Xinning: "Actually, you don't need to go through so much trouble to get the secret formula for the Rejuvenation Pill. I can write it down for you right away."

Mu Jingheng was so shocked by these words that his mouth dropped open. He knew that Xu Xinning wouldn't lie; if she said she knew, she really meant it.

But isn't that an ancient prescription that has been lost?

However, upon closer reflection, Xu Xinning seems strange in every way. She suddenly changed her personality, suddenly became skilled in medicine, and was a very formidable expert at that, able to conjure up any prescription at will. Oh, and she also knows how to use Gu poison.

Based on Mu Jingheng's understanding of the Xu family, it seems they had no contact with any of them, and apart from Xu Xinning, there was no one else who knew medicine or witchcraft.

The Xu family dotes on Xu Xinning. No matter what changes Xu Xinning undergoes, they seem to accept it well. They always feel that she is special. When a special person suddenly develops special methods, the Xu family feels it's normal.

It is said that Xu Xinning's special gift came about after she encountered danger two years ago.

Could it be that she also had the same fate as him?

Mu Jingheng felt that this was the only possibility.

So, was she also reborn?

But her life in her previous life ended in a landslide, so was she reborn from that time?

Mu Jingheng was very curious, but dared not ask.

This is unbelievable. If I guess wrong, won't I scare the little girl?

But then he thought about it again. In his past life, Xu Xinning was also a person with excellent medical skills. So where did she get her medical skills from?

Thinking about it that way, she couldn't possibly be reborn.

Mu Jingheng was puzzled and itching to try it, but felt that now was not the right time.

Mu Jingheng took Xu Xinning's hand and held it tightly in his palm, as if he wanted to hold her firmly in his hand.

Mu Jingheng: "You know this secret recipe?"

Xu Xinning looked at him and nodded seriously, then said, "I also know many, many other secret recipes."

Mu Jingheng smiled, "There's no rush. We can talk about it when we need it later. Besides, it's your own stuff, there's no need to be so generous."

Xu Xinning said nonchalantly, "It's alright. These recipes aren't important to me. If I can, I'll figure out even more."

Mu Jingheng touched Xu Xinning's face and said sincerely, "My wife is amazing. I've struck gold."

Xu Xinning tilted her head; she felt too itchy.

Mu Jingheng continued, "I'm not here to talk about the Resurrection Pill. What I want to say is that I suspect what we and the enemy agents have been looking for might be in the cave that you and Lao San discovered."

Xu Xinning: "A cave?"

Mu Jingheng: "Yes, it's that cave. My uncle and Jiang Juecheng searched almost every cave in the mountains, big and small, but they didn't find what they were looking for. Even the enemy agents searched for longer than us, but they still didn't find it. The place you found is in a rather special location. It seems to be under a cliff, but it's not a real cliff; it's just the steam from the hot spring that creates the illusion. And the entrance should be quite hidden, plus the rumors in the village, so almost no one has actually been there. I think that's the most likely place where what we're looking for is hidden."

Xu Xinning: "What do you mean by telling me this today...?"

Mu Jingheng: "You're the one who discovered that place, and only you know where the entrance is. I want you to take us in and search carefully. If it really is there, you'll have done a great service."

Xu Xinning glanced at his legs, frowned, and said, "Why don't we wait a little longer? Even with crutches, you can't walk on mountain paths."

Mu Jingheng: "It's alright. Let's avoid people and have the other brothers carry me up. The sooner the better, I'm afraid it will be bad if enemy agents find out."

Xu Xinning: "Why don't we go tomorrow? There are troops in the village now, so the enemy agents should be more cautious lately."

Mu Jingheng: "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

Xu Xinning pinched Mu Jingheng's soft flesh in annoyance and threatened, "Don't shout in front of others, you shameless person."

Mu Jingheng smiled broadly, pulled Xu Xinning into his arms, and whispered, "I'll listen to my wife."

Xu Xinning really has no temper left.

never mind!

I'll let it go.

So tired!
