"Little fairy, my little ancestor, please—don’t!"
Bai Fei’s attempt to stop it was already too late.
Zuzi not only tapped the stone coffin but also murmured to herself, "It’s supposed to be inside, so why isn’t it coming out..."
Bai Fei stretched out a hand, wanting to bravely protect Zuzi, while the other arm instinctively covered his face: "Ahhh! Zombie lord, please don’t co out, please don’t co out!"
Zuzi smiled slightly and slowly withdrew her delicate hand, glancing at the Jade Pendant in her palm.
It seed she rembered wrong; the Jade Pendant of the little boy wasn’t used to open the Jade Coffin.
If the boy’s Jade Pendant wasn’t the key, then whose hand holds the key corresponding to this Jade Coffin? Could it be the eldest of the Xi family?
Hmm, it’s quite a hassle to have too many keys left by ancestors.
She pondered silently.
anwhile, Bai Fei finally cald down from his fear, slapped his thigh: "So that’s it!"
His look of sudden realization made the little crow and Fu Xiqin nervous. No way, did this mortal see through the secret of the ancestor’s Jade Key?
The Immortal Artifact in the coffin isn’t sothing just anyone can see. If this mortal knows too much, he might...
They worried.
Yet Bai Fei bead, "Hey, who would have thought Bao Gucheng’s Jade Pendant could ward off evil? Look, even the zombie in the coffin is too scared to co out. So that’s it, that’s it, hahaha!"
The two fairy pets: "..." Cough, cough, cough, never mind, they overestimated the mortal’s thought process; this fool only has this pitiful bit of intelligence left.
"Ancestor, since that’s the case, we need to find the matching Jade Key first, and then co back to open the coffin," the little crow eagerly suggested, "Coincidentally, the little boy just got out of prison. He’s definitely in a hurry to see you. Why don’t you go sniff him out, and we can gather our strength..."
Zuzi put away Bao Gucheng’s Jade, resting her chin as she pondered, "Sniff him out..."

At this mont.
In the Imperial City.
In the hospital’s intensive care unit, the Old President had just started a series of complex morning physical examinations when his secretary reported, "Mr. Bo has co to visit you. It seems he’s here for sothing important. The conversation might be taxing. Shall we wait until after your examination?"
"No need, let him in imdiately," the old man decisively replied.
From last night until now, this highly respected elder had turned away countless social elites and governnt dignitaries.
Inviting soone in so straightforwardly was a first.
The secretary couldn’t help but comnt softly while leading Bao Gucheng in, "Mr. Bo, your reception is quite unusual."
Bao Gucheng’s thin lips pressed tightly as he looked at the elder on the sickbed.
The old man laughed heartily, "Gucheng, it’s not special treatnt for you. In truth, it’s because I want to avoid the endless checkups, haha. Frankly speaking, staying in the hospital is like being in prison. Although I’ve been in a coma, I feel like I’m being tortured every day in my haze. I just want to catch my breath, co and chat with ."
Bao Gucheng’s serious expression relaxed slightly: "As you wish."
The staff and nurses smiled, tactfully leaving to provide the two with a quiet space.
"Gucheng, to be honest, you didn’t just co to chat with , did you?" After everyone left, the Old President’s expression beca more serious, "Did sothing big happen?"
Before coming, Bao Gucheng had prepared several conversational plans, hoping to learn the truth from the elder.
At this mont, he decided to abandon those plans, opting to be straightforward, and asked directly: "Do you rember my subordinates, such as Si She?"
The Old President nodded: "They are all loyal and capable officers."
Bao Gucheng slowly said: "They inexplicably died in the deep mountains of Qingcheng."
