"I'm not stupid, how could I possibly say anything? I wouldn't even tell Ou Jingxuan!" Lan Rongrong said with an exaggerated expression, "But you, you can't say anything either!" After a pause, she added worriedly, "Lan Ziye's mood has been off lately. Don't gossip and ruin the entire Jin family!"
Jin Ruozhen swallowed and said, "I only told my dad!"
Her father is now the next head of the family, and he knows how to handle things properly! She told her father that he would definitely handle things well!
Lan Rongrong pouted and said, "It's up to you. However, you still have to remind your father that this matter must not be made public. This is a matter concerning the reputation of the entire Lan family!"
"I know, my dad knows his limits!" Jin Ruozhen nodded hurriedly in response.
After the funeral of Ou Jingyao and Xiaobai was over, the body was held and buried. However, after everyone left, Lan Ziye dug out the coffin again and put it into the Qiankun bag that Chu Xixuan had prepared for her.
Xiaobai**'s business was over, and the next step was to go to the underground passage.
Based on Qi Xiaobao's general description of the passage, Lan Ziye prepared some materials to break the formation in advance, and then arrived at the place agreed by Qi Xiaobao, the door of an ancient house where the passage was located.
"This place is very desolate. There is not even a modern building around, so I could only make do with buying this old house. It took me a lot of effort to buy this old house. Please don't despise it!" Qi Xiaobao muttered as he took Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan into the old house.
Uh... no one responded!
Qi Xiaobao closed his mouth in embarrassment.
As soon as they entered the ancient house, Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan saw a room full of strangers, about twenty of them. Lan Ziye couldn't help but look at Qi Xiaobao curiously.
Chu Xixuan asked directly: "Qi Xiaobao, what's going on?"
Before Qi Xiaobao could answer, a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat stood up and introduced himself: "I am Qi Xiaobao's elder brother, the eldest in the Qi family, Qi Yue."
Then he turned to look at Chu Xixuan and said politely: "Mr. Chu, long time no see!"
Seeing that Lan Ziye and Chu Xixuan's faces were still cold and they had no intention of paying attention to him, Qi Yue smiled awkwardly and continued to introduce them, "These are all elders of my Qi family who are well-versed in mechanical devices and other Qimen Dunjia techniques. Young Master Chu should know them all! As for these few... they are well-known predecessors in the tomb-robbing world. They heard that you were going down the tunnel and came here specially to lend a hand!"
Lan Ziye sneered inwardly, but said calmly, "I heard from Qi Xiaobao that quite a few people have gone down the tunnel before and after. Is this how you all support them?"
Everyone present was instantly embarrassed, looking at each other and then looking at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was now even more embarrassed. He chuckled dryly and said, "Isn't it Young Master Chu and Miss Lan who have come in person? Actually, we came here hoping to learn from them, learn from them!"
"Forget about Young Master Chu. We all know that he has great spiritual power. Even if he can't enter the passage, he will have no problem protecting himself. Miss Lan, isn't it not good for a little girl like you to speak so rudely?" A white-haired old man deliberately coughed twice and said dissatisfiedly.
Lan Ziye looked at the old man with amusement. How was she being rude?
Qi Xiaobao noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Elder Helan, this Miss Lan is a master of magic arrays. She is the one who will enter the passage today!"
