I walked right through the mirror, and when I was completely through, the sunlight was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes.
I shielded my eyes from the sunlight with my hand; it felt so good to be exposed to the sun.
"Great, Brother Chen, we're finally out!"
Old Dao hugged me, celebrating our newfound life.
I was panting heavily, still feeling a bit shaken.
What I just witnessed left a deep impression on me.
This escape came at a great cost; I've used up all my strength.
We're basically living like zombies now.
"Hey girl, how are you?"
I looked at the older woman behind me and asked with concern.
The older woman is doing quite well now, at least better than me.
When she saw the long-awaited sunshine, the woman cried tears of joy.
"Big brother, you're finally out!"
The old woman burst into tears of emotion. From the moment we entered the woodshed, we had been trapped underground.
After a series of twists and turns, we finally left that awful place and saw the sun again.
"Should we stay or leave?"
I asked Lao Dao and the auntie for their opinions.
"He Feilong is already dead, there's no point in staying here any longer, and this mansion is too eerie!"
The older woman gave him her advice.
At the same time, I looked at Lao Dao.
"I think we should go back and take a look!"
This time, Lao Dao didn't blindly follow my advice; instead, he offered a different perspective.
"After you left, I slowly walked along the tunnel that Fatty Sister left behind, and somehow I ended up meeting up with you!"
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lao Dao continued to explain.
"That's right, these two places are connected!"
I nodded, because there was an underground passage running through the entire He Mansion, and this underground passage was also connected to the previous guesthouse.
It took us several hours to drive to He's residence, but for Lao Dao, it only took less than an hour to drive from the tunnel.
This house is clearly becoming increasingly dangerous, and the best way for us to find out is to go back to where we started.
Fortunately, I now have a map of this house, and since I had already walked through it once before, I know the way back in my mind.
I grabbed the old lady and Lao Dao and we ran like mad, the three of us not looking back. It took us about half an hour to reach the door.
I quickly closed the door, then took out the lock I had put in the mirror earlier and carefully locked the door.
"Luckily, I have the car keys. Let's hurry up and go!"
I shook the car keys in my hand. When I arrived, the fat man locked the car and then gave me the keys for safekeeping.
I never expected it would actually come in handy at this time.
Old Dao was driving in front, and my aunt and I were sitting in the back, seriously reviewing everything that had just happened.
We can't afford to mess with that thing in the mansion, but as long as we don't provoke it, it can't do anything to us.
"After He Feilong died, the trail went cold. It's worth mentioning that Xu Feng was also implicated!"
I lay in the car, reflecting on everything that had just happened.
This trip to the courtyard almost dragged all three of us in.
After gaining power, I became quite confident and had too much faith in my abilities.
Sometimes it's necessary to give way.
I gave Lao Dao some simple directions, and to my astonishment, he arrived in just half an hour.
"Brother Chen, do you think we're back?"
After Lao Dao stopped the car, he pointed to the guesthouse and asked.
I was completely baffled.
We walked for several hours to get here.
It seems the fat man was lying to me from the beginning. When he brought us here, he kept going in circles while plotting to take advantage of Lao Dao.
"That He Feilong deserves to die! If things hadn't come to this, I really wouldn't believe he could do something like that!"
Old Dao grumbled and cursed.
So we stopped the car and went back to the guesthouse. And while we were looking for our room, I actually ran into an acquaintance.
"I told you, we'll meet again!"
The man suddenly turned his face, startling Lao Dao and me.
"Holy crap, aren't you that old master craftsman?!"
Old Dao was so startled that he jumped up.
Yes, we ran into the same old chef at the guesthouse.
This old master gave me betel nuts.
This same experienced driver guided me many times on the high-speed train.
When we parted ways, the teacher said we would meet again.
We never expected to actually meet here.
"Good memory, young man. Still need to pee?"
The old master asked with a smile.
However, when I saw the master craftsman this time, I felt that he was somewhat different from the one I had seen before.
I always feel like something's missing.
"Master, stop teasing me!"
Old Dao blushed with embarrassment after hearing this; it had touched a nerve.
"Let me take a look... Hmm, you're quite lucky to have obtained so many magical artifacts!"
The problems I had were also resolved...
"Wait, why don't you have your Earth Soul yet?"
The experienced craftsman came over and grabbed my wrist, his expression growing more and more serious as he spoke.
"It's not that easy to fix!"
I almost laughed at what the old master said.
If replenishing the Earth Souls were really that easy, I wouldn't be in such a predicament.
After experiencing so much, although I still have some longing for the Earth Soul, I no longer have the same obsession as before.
"And who is this, sir?"
The older woman tugged at my sleeve, asking me to introduce the master craftsman. I quickly introduced the master craftsman to the older woman.
"This girl is not bad, she's got some skills!"
The old man squinted at the old woman, and after a long while, he finally uttered this remark.
"Master, what brings you here this time?"
Old Dao asked the question I wanted to ask.
We parted ways with our master craftsman so long ago, and we hadn't seen each other before. Now that we've just come back, we've met again, which I find quite coincidental.
"That woman is dead, I came to check on her!" The old man said something extraordinary to us in a calm tone.
The woman he was referring to was Fatty. It seems that the old master couldn't come here while Fatty was alive.
"It seems you still care quite a bit about your enemy. Your emotions were quite agitated when I mentioned that woman!"
The old man looked at the old woman with a half-smile.
"Senior, I don't understand what you're saying!"
The woman forced a smile and tried to appear calm, but it was all too obvious that she was putting on a brave face.
"And you're following Xiao Chen around because of that thing he has, right?"
The old master changed the subject
