Fu Xiqin felt a thud in his heart.
The strings were about to snap!
The Ancestor was usually lazy and easygoing, rarely speaking so seriously. At this mont, the stance made him truly feel that if he accidentally said sothing wrong, his little life would be over.
"An-Ancestor! You have to believe in Qin Qin. I really heard that the master was dismbered, blood staining ten miles, and finally the body vanished into smoke, so tragic..."
Zuzi raised an eyebrow, "Heard? So you didn’t witness it with your own eyes?"
Fu Xiqin was sweating bullets, "Please, Ancestor, calm down, calm down. Qin Qin was sent by the master to handle a very important matter back then. By the ti I returned, the master had fallen, and I didn’t make it in ti to see it myself. It’s all from what the birds and fish of the East Sea said. If you don’t believe , I can bring Jingwei as a witness for you, or the four old turtles of Zhenhai, or..."
"No need."
"Ancestor, I’m willing to dig out my heart to show you that I dare not deceive you!"
"Pfft, you’re just a qin, you don’t have a heart." The little crow couldn’t help but sneer, "So you’re just spreading hearsay. What task did your master have you do back then?"
"It was very important..." Fu Xiqin tried hard to recall, but cold sweat kept pouring out, "Ancestor, I’m so nervous, I actually can’t rember all of a sudden."
The little crow, "It’s only been ten thousand years, and you can’t rember. Is your brain made of paper?"
Fu Xiqin nodded earnestly, "Yes! I need to eat more to nourish my brain..."
The little crow, "Ancestor, look at this unreliable guy. Just say the word, and I’ll pluck his strings bald and see if he dares to babble again..."
Zuzi neither agreed nor disagreed, turning to Bai Fei, "Head south."
At this mont, Bai Fei’s heart was pounding, and his nervousness was no less than Fu Xiqin’s, "Little fairy, we’re playing outside the city in the middle of the night. I’m afraid we won’t make it back before daybreak..."
Zuzi, "No need to co back."
Bai Fei hiccuped, "Ah? Then... should I book a hotel in advance? What style of hotel do you like, little fairy?"
By now, several styles of thed hotels had flashed through his mind, especially the romantic thes...
Unexpectedly, Zuzi threw a wet blanket over him, "No need. The Ancestor has his own place to stay."
Bai Fei hiccuped again, "..."
After driving for nearly two hours, Zuzi finally directed Bai Fei to stop.
It was pitch black all around, with no stars or moon.
Bai Fei was confused, "Little fairy, where’s the hotel...?"
Zuzi’s long dress swayed slightly as she got out of the car and walked forward unhurriedly.
She stopped in front of an unremarkable stone tablet.
Lightly tapping her finger, her red lips curved slightly, "This is the place."
Bai Fei leaned over to look. This wasn’t good; as soon as he looked, he started hiccupping uncontrollably, "This, this, this... hic! Hic! Hic!"
Oh my, this wasn’t a hotel at all.
This is... a grave, ah ah ah ah ah!

The next day.
When the staff opened the cell.
Bao Gucheng, wearing an overcoat, was resting his eyes.
The chill in the room poured out, making Chen Long shiver violently, "Mr. Bo! Why is it so cold? Is this a freezer? Are you alright?"
Bao Gucheng opened his eyes, sharp light gleaming, and strode out, "Hmm."
The coat that the little woman instructed him really ca in handy.
And the "soup wine" he drank last night also had an incredibly strong kick. He slept until dawn and now felt as warm as a furnace.
"Where is she?"
Without even asking if his charges were cleared, his first words were to find Zuzi.
Chen Long had a bitter face, "I was incapable. Last night, I couldn’t win against Mr. Bai. He took her out of the city in his car."
Bao Gucheng furrowed his brows, "Out of the city?"
"Yes, I heard they were looking for sothing..." Chen Long reported, "We were in the hospital at the ti, and we saw a diagram of a skeleton... Miss Xi looked troubled after seeing it and said she had to leave. I felt it was related to that diagram and made sure to inquire later."
Bao Gucheng nodded, "Continue."
Chen Long, "Mr. Bo, the person who took that picture turned out to be..."
