"My father has passed away." Gu Qingfeng lowered his head, and Cui Yong and the others did not ask any more questions.

Cui Yong once saved Gu Qingfeng's father when he was young. Although the two did not interact often, they had a good relationship.

Gu Qingfeng had met Cui Yong when he was young, but he had never heard from him since Cui Yong disappeared.

Gu Qingfeng's father died of an old illness two years ago. Gu Qingfeng's martial arts skills were average, and since his father's death, Gu Qingfeng has become an insignificant figure in the martial arts world.

If it weren't for the treasure hunting incident, Gu Qingfeng might have retired from the martial arts world completely.

"Lao Cui, you and I know the treasure trove best. I..."

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't want to hear about the treasure trove, Aunt Yuan, let's go home." Xu Ning interrupted the Grand Minister of Agriculture, covering his ears with one hand and pulling Xu Yuan with the other, wondering what was wrong with Qin Wen. Why was he talking about the treasure trove in the middle of the night? Did he think she was too old?

"There is no treasure in the treasure trove!" the Minister of Agriculture argued.

"You won't listen!" Xu Ning put down the hand that was covering his ears and went to open the door. Finally, the Minister of Agriculture rushed over and closed the door again.

"There is no treasure hiding place, it's all a cover!" The Grand Minister of Agriculture looked helpless, and Xu Ning had an even worse expression, but he had no intention of leaving.

Inwardly, Xu Ning cursed them for being idiots. Why would they come up with a pretext to kill someone? Did they think the Daqing Dynasty wasn't miserable enough, or that the underworld wasn't chaotic enough?

"There was no other way at that time. If we hadn't brought out the story about the treasure hiding place, all the people in the martial arts world would have died!" The Grand Minister of Agriculture sat dejectedly beside Cui Yong's bed. It was a rare occasion that Cui Yong didn't argue with him.

More than a decade ago, the Central Plains martial arts world suffered a devastating disaster, and many young people at that time had decided to die. It was Cui Yong and the Minister of Agriculture who moved out a box of treasures and told those who were still alive at the time that there was a treasure trove, which ignited the fighting spirit of those who wanted to die.

Later, the various factions in the martial arts world gradually recovered, and Cui Yong also retired at this time.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture continued to be the Grand Minister of Agriculture. If it weren't for another natural disaster, he would probably still be working in the fields.

"Qin Wen, you've been really lucky these years." Xu Ning complained.

"It is the people who should not fight against the officials." Pei Jiao suddenly said. The Grand Minister of Agriculture was still an official, and a good one at that. Those most righteous people in the martial arts world naturally did not dare to take action against him easily.

"That was in the past. Today, with constant natural disasters, they are no longer the chivalrous heroes in the eyes of the people." Gu Qingfeng said. When he went out of the mountains to look for Cui Yong's whereabouts, these people used their skills to do countless evil things.

If Gu Qingfeng hadn't relied on his family background, he might not have been able to live up to his conscience.

Life is so difficult for the people nowadays.

Xu Ning curled his lips. It would have been better to let those people die at that time. How could there be so many problems now?

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in Xu Ning's mind. After all, the ones who suffered were the instigators - Cui Daxia and Da Si Nong.

After all, it has little to do with her, a small follower.

"Let's talk about what to do now. Those people in the town will be discovered sooner or later. If the government also knows about the treasure trove, things will be out of control." What Xu Ning is most worried about is that by then the entire Xu family may not be able to escape unscathed.

No! Damn it! This peaceful life I finally had! It's only the first day of the new year! And she's going to ruin it!

"The dead can't speak." Xu Ning was still angry, but Cui Yong's sudden words immediately extinguished the anger that was rising in Xu Ning's forehead.
