The stunned guard quickly stepped forward to lead the way for them, "Master, Miss, please come in."
The cave was very humid and full of wet mud.
Miss Chu complained as she walked: "There is so much mud here, I would not have come if I had known."
Master Wan had a sullen expression and did not reply.
Earlier, Master Wan had no intention of bringing her to the mountains, but Miss Chu had insisted on coming along, saying that she had never seen a real national treasury and wanted to see what the national treasury of the previous dynasty looked like.
Now they are here again complaining about the muddy ground being difficult to walk on. Master Wan's face is becoming more and more gloomy, and he is obviously a little impatient.
Perhaps because he was too upset, Master Wan changed the subject and said, "I heard that the young lady who fled with the Fu family is your sister?"
When Miss Chu heard him mention Chu Chenyin, a trace of displeasure immediately appeared on her face, "What sister? She is just the daughter of a lowly maid."
"My concubine's daughter! But the Fu family is really strange. They knew that it was your Chu family who conspired with our Wan family to kill all of them, but they actually took your concubine's sister with them."
Miss Chu snorted coldly and said, "That woman Chu Chenyin is as good at seducing people as her mother. Maybe she has seduced Fu Yanting's heart and made them take her away willingly."
After hearing this, Master Wan showed a hint of curiosity, "If that's true, then it's her ability."
Miss Chu frowned and raised her lips to reveal a mocking smile, "She is lucky, but she will not have many good days left with the Fu family. When the emperor finds them, he will definitely throw her into the military camp to be a prostitute!"
When Master Wan heard her words, he shuddered and his face darkened. "She is your sister after all."
Miss Chu still argued, "We are not born from the same mother, so what kind of sister is she?"
Young Master Wan shook his head and quickened his pace as he walked inside.
Miss Chu looked up and found that she had gone far away, so she quickly picked up the hem of her skirt and chased after her, "Feng Lang! Wait a minute!"
Master Wan didn't wait for her and strode to the stone gate.
The guard quickly helped him push open the stone door, "Master, the gold mine is inside."
Young Master Wan looked inside expectantly, only to see that it was pitch black. "No, I remember there were four eternal lamps here!"
The guard was also surprised. "The eternal light was still on when we left. How come it suddenly went dark?"
While wondering, he opened the fire starter in his hand and lit the torches on both sides of the door.
As the torches were lit, the cave gradually became brighter.
The cave that was once full of gold is now filled with only black stones and wet mud. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
