"You wait for me outside." Mu Hanyan said to Huayue and Zirong.
The Great Elder only said that she could choose any reward from the treasure house, but did not mention anyone else, so Manager Geng’s move was not considered to be making things difficult for her.
Huayue and Zirong nodded and simply left the courtyard. Although they had only been in the Mu family for a few months, they also knew that this treasure house was a major forbidden area of the Mu family. If something happened in the future, it would be difficult to explain it, so it was better to stay away from it.
Mu Hanyan pushed open the door alone, and there was a long and narrow passage. The passage was so narrow that only two people could pass through it side by side. Once they entered, the door closed and the scene was immediately dark.
After a while, my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and I could see a faint light shining from inside. The narrow and long passage, the weak light, the solid bluestone above, below, and on all sides, with even the edges and corners unpolished, all of this invisibly gave me a heavy and oppressive feeling.
Mu Hanyan quickened her pace and quickly passed through the passage. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a spacious hall appeared before her, but she did not feel relieved.
This hall is also built entirely of huge bluestones, each piece of which probably weighs thousands of pounds. Looking around, there is no small opening for light or ventilation, which gives people a more solemn and depressing feeling.
This feeling... was like a completely enclosed tomb. Yes, it felt like a tomb. To put it bluntly, it was solemn and dignified. To put it bluntly, it was eerie and terrifying.
In the hall, Mu Hanyan did not see the common wooden shelves found in ordinary treasure houses. Instead, she saw rows of stone shelves carved from whole pieces of bluestone. They were a bit rough, but also looked heavier and colder.
Rows of stone shelves were placed in an orderly manner in the hall, like a small maze. A cold wind blew in from nowhere, making people's necks feel cold and their heartbeats involuntarily quicken.
This feels like a tomb.
I don't know what the ancestors of the Mu family in Black Stone City were thinking, to actually build such a good treasure house into this state. Mu Hanyan couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Mu Hanyan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Only then did she feel a little relieved and walked towards the rows of stone shelves.
…
"Grandfather, why did you promise Mu Hanyan so easily?" At the same time, outside the treasure house, Mu Feng complained.
He hadn't even entered the treasure house yet, yet it had become a bargain for Mu Hanyan. She could take whatever she wanted, and his mentality was seriously unbalanced.
"She made a promise, but do you think she'll pick anything good?" the Great Elder said unhappily. Having been cornered by Mu Ziqing and the others, he regretted his words in a fit of rage. However, he still felt that while his words might not necessarily count in other matters within the Mu family, he still had the final say over the treasure vault. It was just an empty promise; he didn't believe Mu Hanyan would actually gain much benefit.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. As soon as I heard the news, I put away all the important things. Even if he turns this treasure house upside down, he won't be able to find any decent treasures." Manager Geng said flatteringly.
"Well done. I knew you wouldn't let me down." The Great Elder patted Manager Geng's shoulder with satisfaction.
Mu Feng then realized that Manager Geng had already made arrangements. He used to find it strange that his grandfather would banish such a smart and capable subordinate like Manager Geng to this remote place. Now he understood a little bit. This is what it means to make the best use of everything and everyone's talents.
