Next to the handprint are written several large characters: Only members of my clan may open this!
"It seems that this is why no one in your family has turned it on!"
I pointed to the handprint and glanced at the fat man.
This family was originally quite wary and probably had planned for this day long ago.
"Many people have probably discovered this door, but there's nothing they can do about it!"
The traces of this entrance show that many people have come here over the centuries, but they have all failed!
Continuing to observe the handprint, there are many, many traces around it, but the stone door is tightly closed and covered in dust.
Judging from the fact that quite a few people have come through the outer door, no one has been able to enter through the inner door.
"What a pity, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
Why don't we give it a try?
The older woman couldn't help but remind her.
I nodded, ready to let the kid give it a try first.
What if I'm wrong? Encouraged by me and the older woman, the fat man gritted his teeth and put his hand on it.
The next second, his obese and bloated body was thrown aside, and he fell into a daze.
The older woman and I covered our faces at the same time; it was exactly as we had guessed.
This guy isn't even from their bloodline.
It's a blatant case of the cuckoo taking over someone else's nest.
"Are you alright, Xiao He?"
I quickly went to the fat man's side, reached out and pulled him up, and asked him with concern.
"Don't worry, sir, this little injury is nothing to me!"
The fat man twisted his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed.
He dusted himself off and, with my help, got up.
He didn't look well, which immediately confirmed that the fat man wasn't a member of the He family.
"Grandpa, what was my surname before? How could our ancestors do such a beastly thing!"
The fat man looked very gloomy; this was a real blow to him.
"I don't know either, but if I can open this door, I'm afraid I'll find the answer!"
I shook my head and gave an impossible explanation.
Now our only hope has been dashed. This door is definitely not going to open. We can't rely on me and the old lady.
"Brother, how about the two of us give it a try?"
At this point, the older woman suggested that she try it with me.
"Never mind, I'll go first!"
I went over there with a try-it-out mentality and placed my hand on the handprint. As expected, a huge elastic force bounced me away.
It could be because my power has increased, or it could be because I don't have an earth soul.
So instead of flying out like the fat man, I bounced back two steps and stopped.
"See? Unless you're of their bloodline, you definitely can't activate it!"
I shrugged, having given up all hope.
The only option is to try and find clues in other places.
At that moment, the woman rolled up her sleeves and put her handprint on the fingerprint.
The fat man was cheering her on from the sidelines, telling her to push him away!
But the situation was far beyond what the fat man and I expected. When the old woman placed her hand on the handprint, her body did not move.
Then the door trembled. This huge stone door actually opened a crack right in front of me, and then the stone door rotated.
A passageway appeared in front of me.
I was completely dumbfounded and looked at the middle-aged woman next to me in disbelief.
"Young lady, you're actually a descendant of this family?"
My expression was a little strange.
After thinking it over and over, I never imagined that this young lady was actually from the He family.
In other words, these two people probably have a deep-seated blood feud.
The older woman's expression was quite unsettled; she didn't know what to say.
"Girl, are you saying I'm the enemy who wiped out your family?"
The fat man also cried, saying that this was all absurd and that he had inexplicably become someone's enemy.
I comforted the fat man: "Perhaps there's a mistake. Besides, even if the young lady is from the He family, so many years have passed, she shouldn't hold a grudge!"
Most importantly, the so-called "cuckoo taking over the nest" is just my speculation; we'll only know the truth once we're inside!
When I said that, even I didn't believe it.
Based on the current evidence, the two families are sworn enemies, and the fat man's family has taken over the He family's property.
"Brother, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go inside and take a look!"
The woman is also feeling very complicated right now. Suddenly, she has inexplicably gained a new background, which would be distressing for anyone!
"By the way, girl, how are your parents? You weren't adopted, were you?"
Just as the older woman and I were about to go inside, the fat man next to us caught up and said something incredibly irritating.
I wanted to go up to him and slap him twice across the face. He really knows how to rub salt in the wound.
You'd only be happy if the old lady got so angry she killed you, right?
"I don't know anything about my parents. I was raised by my grandfather!"
In other words, I really am an orphan!
The older woman answered the fat man seriously, then exhaled a breath of stale air, clearly in a bad mood.
The conversation with the fat man suddenly turned quite cold; the "buff" had been stacked to its maximum.
"Oh, right, I have a keepsake! It must have been left to me by my parents!"
The woman suddenly remembered something and took off a necklace from around her neck.
This is a string of jade pendants, and the chain is made of gold.
I took a look at it, and there was nothing special about it, and there were no similar patterns on the pendant.
"Brother, try it and see if you can fit it in?"
The woman must have gone through a lot of internal struggle before handing the item to me, wanting me to try and see if I could fit it in.
I picked up the pendant and tentatively dropped it in.
The pendant was directly integrated into the bronze mirror.
“Girl, you really do seem to be from this family…”
The fat man looked bitter; he had indeed run into an enemy.
Just as the woman was about to speak, the pendant unexpectedly appeared and shot out like a cannonball, pointing directly at her!
I quickly caught it with my hands.
I grabbed the necklace just one centimeter away from the old lady.
The woman's face was covered in sweat; she was quite frightened.
"It might not be that simple!"
My expression was complicated; things didn't seem as simple as I'd imagined.
"Brother, what's going on? I clearly sensed a killing intent just now!"
The woman wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, still shaken.
The woman told me that she had clearly felt a threat of death just now, and that she would probably be dead if it weren't for me.
I returned the necklace to the old lady and wiped my hands; they were still sore from that earlier incident.
I came to a terrible conclusion: the old lady might also have a grudge against this family!
