Chapter 825 The Truth - Thick Skin and Thick Flesh
Of course, there is also the most important evidence, which is Mu Fan's words.
Mu Fan set a trap using the shoe prints of several people, and the result was obvious: Yun Yichen had followed her. She believed that even if Mu Fan deliberately changed the footprints, given Yun Yichen's intelligence, he would still be able to find her.
The group struggled toward the door, with Mu Fan rushing out behind them, and in front of Mu Fan, the old man was striding briskly up the mountain.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and that the group was not fast enough to outrun them, Gu Shuyan had no choice but to turn her attention to Wuyin.
"No sound, quickly take everyone away."
Gu Shuyan rushed to the stone as fast as she could and used all her strength to press it down heavily.
A loud bang was heard, and the stone door slowly opened from the inside.
At the same time, the old man and Mu Fan, who were following closely behind, also caught up with the group.
Just as Wuyin pulled Yufei through the stone gate, Gu Shuyan was suddenly grabbed and pulled up. The gate, which had not yet been fully opened, slowly began to close as Gu Shuyan stepped off the stone.
"lady!"
"Miss!"
Two maids' anxious voices came over, and Wuyin tried to use her body to stop the stone door from closing, but she had no strength to resist such a heavy stone door.
"Hurry up, let's go find Yichen."
Gu Shuyan knew very well that even if she opened the door now, she would not be able to escape from the old man's grasp.
Rather than everyone being trapped here to die, it would be better to let the two of them leave and find reinforcements.
Seeing Gu Shuyan struggling desperately in his hands, the old man let go and threw her to the ground.
Gu Shuyan groaned in pain, but did not cry out.
"As expected of the girl that kid has his eye on, she's not like those delicate young ladies; she can take a beating."
"You might as well just say that I have thick skin and a tough body."
Gu Shuyan rubbed her sore hand as she got up, then sat cross-legged on the spot, showing no signs of being a proper young lady.
"Words won't work; I don't fall for that. Of course, if you're trying to stall for time, I can assure you that your two maids won't get away."
As the old man spoke, he waved his hand, and his subordinates who had caught up immediately stepped forward and opened the door connecting to the cave.
Gu Shuyan watched helplessly as nearly ten people chased after them, silently praying that Wuyin and the others would run faster.
Swallowing hard, Gu Shuyan looked directly at the man who was speaking to her. "You are the Emperor of Jin?"
Gu Shuyan showed no awareness that the person opposite her was the emperor of a country; in fact, there was a hint of deep sarcasm in her eyes.
The old man disliked Gu Shuyan's gaze, but considering that she was still useful, he suppressed his discomfort.
"Yes, I am the Emperor of Jin, and also your man's teacher."
Gu Shuyan scoffed upon hearing this, "What kind of master are you? Others take on disciples to pass on their knowledge, but you're teaching Yichen just to use him as a pawn. If one day the pawn becomes disobedient, or out of control, you'll make those brothers turn against each other and kill each other. In the end, you're just a selfish and petty person."
"Looks like you know quite a bit."
The old man felt a surge of anger rising in his heart. To be honest, he hadn't heard anyone call him selfish in twenty years. He never imagined that twenty years later, as a local tyrant, he would be called a selfish and petty person by such a young girl.
But so what? As long as the final result is what he wants, he's willing to be the villain.
"Mu Fan, keep a close eye on the person. We'll be going into the tomb soon."
The old man waved his hand and led a few people back to the village.
Originally, he planned to wait two more days, but things have clearly changed, and the old man has no choice but to bring the whole plan forward.
After watching the old man walk away, Mu Fan turned to Gu Shuyan and said, "How dare you say such things? Didn't you see that the master's face turned green just now?"
Gu Shuyan glared at him irritably, "It's better that you're being cuckolded. If you dare to call yourself Yichen's master, don't blame me for speaking harshly."
It has to be said that when it comes to the topic of master, whether it's Yun Yichen or Gu Shuyan, they only have one person in their hearts: Wu Liming.
Gu Shuyan became stubborn, so Mu Fan didn't want to argue with her anymore. "I don't know why the old man wants to keep you here. You'd better pray for yourself in a bit!"
Mu Fan's words served as a reminder to Gu Shuyan. Gu Shuyan was not ungrateful, so she clasped her hands slightly in thanks.
However, these words had a very different meaning when heard by the Wei Emperor.
Yang Kun had just finished treating his wounds and saw that the bleeding had stopped. Wei Huang quickly turned around and said, "Girl, that madman is definitely not going to do anything good by leaving you here. If you have a chance, run away. Don't follow him into that tomb."
Emperor Wei spoke in front of his subordinates, leaving those watching them speechless.
Come on, are you treating us like we don't exist?
"You can't escape."
Mu Fan said this, but in his heart he was thinking, if Gu Shuyan's life was really in danger, should he turn a blind eye?
After entering the cave, Wuyin and Yufei ran out of the cave without delay. However, because they were unfamiliar with the cave, even though they left the cave following their memory of when they entered, they were still caught up by the people behind them.
If Wuyin were the only one being caught, she might have been able to shake off her pursuers. However, she was accompanied by Yufei, a maid who didn't know any martial arts. As a result, Wuyin found herself struggling to keep up with the others.
Gu Shuyan was led into the cave by the old man, and even when she stood outside the tomb entrance, her gaze never left the cloth bag that the old man was holding.
Based on the shape of the bag, Gu Shuyan guessed that it must be a person, but who could it be that the old man would hold it himself and be reluctant to put it down?
Gu Shuyan considered many possibilities in her mind, but she rejected every single one of them.
Do you know whose tomb this is?
The old man shifted his gaze from the Tai Chi symbol and finally looked back at Emperor Wei and Gu Shuyan.
This was the first time either of them had been to this place, so how could they possibly know whose tomb it was? They both shook their heads.
The old man's gaze fell on Gu Shuyan's face. "Speaking of which, you should kowtow to the owner of this tomb, after all, you are also his descendant."
"I?"
Gu Shuyan looked at the rather large tomb in front of her, but apart from the Bagua diagram, there was no information related to the tomb owner.
Most importantly, her family has lived in the capital for generations, so how could she possibly have any kinship with the owner of the tomb on Yufeng Mountain?
