An Ning looked at Mu Ange, and with just one glance, Mu Ange understood what An Ning meant.

"Grandpa, they say I look a lot like that Lord An, what do they mean?"

Since coming into this world, Anning has never heard any news about her parents. At first, Anning thought she was an orphan, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Uncle Ge was no longer as excited as before, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes: "May I ask who you three are? And how did you find out about this dungeon?"

Old Yan said, "It was really lucky to find out about this place. I didn't know there was such a place before. As for my identity, I am currently working in the Ministry of Works."

When the old man looked at Elder Yan, a hint of surprise flashed across his face: "Oh? You're actually a colleague."

Old Yan was also startled, then glanced at the blueprints on the table, something he was very familiar with.

"I am the Third Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty."

"Your Highness!"

As soon as Mu Ange finished speaking, the crowd stirred again. The fact that he was a prince seemed to be the last thing they wanted to hear, and a hint of resentment flashed across everyone's face.

The old man looked at Mu Ange and unconsciously straightened up and moved a little further away from him.

An Ning was slightly taken aback: They seemed to really dislike the Great Qi royal family!

“I am his apprentice, and I learned construction skills under his tutelage.”

As An Ning spoke, she pointed at Old Yan.

Old Ge couldn't help but step forward and take a closer look at An Ning, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "So alike, so very alike."

"Do I resemble Lord An? My surname is also An!"

An Ning looked at Elder Ge and said earnestly.

Old Ge exclaimed in surprise, "You also have the surname An?"

As Mr. Yan watched this scene, memories from many years ago flooded back.

"Could it be An Chang, the head of the Helian Kingdom's carpenters?"

The moment the name Anchang was uttered, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

The crowd stirred once again.

The way Old Ge looked at Old Yan changed in an instant.

"You know Lord An?"

Old Yan looked at An Ning and said, "When Helian Kingdom was exterminating the ghosts, Lord An escaped from the secret passage covered in blood. At that time, I was repairing the wooden horse in the Ministry of Works compound. He was covered in blood and handed a child to me, begging me to spare her life. That child was An Ning."

An Ning's pupils dilated instantly.

Old Ge limped over to An Ning, took her hand, and said with red eyes, "So, you really are Lord An's son."

An Ning gently shook her head: "It's not a son, it's a daughter."

As she spoke, An Ning pulled the hairpin off her head, and her long, flowing hair cascaded down, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

An Ning looked at Elder Ge, then at the others, and asked, "What exactly happened? How did you all end up here?"

Old Ge slowly sat down at the table, staring at the nearly extinguished candle flame, lost in memories.

"This is a long story."

After Helian became a vassal state of Qi, it lost control of many things. In Helian, there was a group of people called the "Carpenters," who possessed superb architectural skills, capable of constructing breathtaking buildings, even tombs that could never be looted. The Emperor of Qi, attracted by our unparalleled skills, put on a pretentious act from the moment Helian submitted to Qi, feigning respect and even inviting us to exchange skills with the officials of his Ministry of Works.

At this point, Mr. Yan nodded repeatedly: "It was me. The reason why my skills improved so quickly was all because I learned a lot from the carpenter back then."
