In the last ten minutes before night falls, everyone finally arrived at the familiar lake in their memories.

The lake was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sparse stars and the dim moon. Everything around was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility and adding a touch of vitality.

"We're finally here, Fatty. Come with me to set up the tent. It looks like it's going to rain soon."

"Okay, Sangbei, let's go."

Pan Zi, Fatty and Liu Sang took the folding tent and went away, while Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi were patrolling the surrounding environment. In the deep mountains and old forests, there would inevitably be ferocious wild beasts.

After Huo Xiuxiu, Aning and Bai Haotian packed their bags, they wandered around the forest together and picked up some dead branches for making fire.

Wu Xie followed Zhang Yecheng, Xi Liu, and Zhang Mo, and discussed with them which entrance would be best to enter through.

"Wu Xie, which entrance did you enter from the last time you came here? Can you tell me the details?"

"can."

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Yecheng who was staring at him. Xi Liu and Zhang Mo also immediately pretended to listen attentively. They had not participated in their actions a few years ago and were very curious about what had happened before.

“Before the operation began, Han Yan gave Xiao Hua and me a blueprint and asked us to go to Siguniang Mountain to get the password to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building.

When the last password popped up, it was stuck by a stone. The password was wrong, and everyone who entered the Zhang family ancient building was trapped inside.

Later, we found Fatty in the crevice of the rocks, and according to the map in his hand, we entered the Zhang family ancient building again to rescue Brother and Han Yan.

We entered through the crack in the mountain wall over there. The crack was hidden behind vines, and there was a tree growing horizontally outside the crack.

Many of us went in, and in the end only Fatty and I walked to the real Zhang family ancient building and met Brother and Han Yan.

They were fine, but the others died in the poisonous fog and strong alkali. On the way out, Han Yan found Pan Zi, Aning and Xiaohua one after another.

"Master Zhang, do you know? If it weren't for Han Yan, Pan Zi might have died in the hands of those Miluo Tuo. By the way, Han Yan is your apprentice, you know she..."

Wu Xie wanted to say something but stopped himself. He carefully observed the expression on Zhang Yecheng's face and swallowed the words he wanted to say bit by bit.

Xi Liu and Zhang Mo both knew Zhang Hanyan's secret, so they knew what Wu Xie wanted to ask without even having to think about it.

They all looked at the confused Zhang Yecheng. With just one glance, they were sure that Zhang Yecheng obviously didn't know Zhang Hanyan's secret.

"What did you want to ask just now? Why did you stop talking halfway?"

Zhang Yecheng's eyes moved between the three of them, not understanding what they were talking about.

"Nothing, I just suddenly forgot what I wanted to ask. I'm going to go back now. Just let us know when you decide where to go in."

Wu Xie left after he finished speaking, leaving Xi Liu and Zhang Mo to face Zhang Yecheng's scrutiny.

Xi Liu and Zhang Mo looked at each other and were about to slip away when Zhang Yecheng blocked their way with his quick eyes and hands.

"Are you hiding something from me? Tell me, is it related to my little girl? What are you hiding from me?"

Zhang Mo looked at the anger rising in Zhang Yecheng's eyes, took a step back silently, and pushed Xi Liu forward.

Xi Liu was caught off guard and was suddenly pushed by him, staggering and almost touching Zhang Yecheng's face.

He reacted with the fastest speed in his life to steady his falling body, and quickly took a few steps back, away from Zhang Yecheng.

"Ahem, sorry, Mr. Zhang, I didn't mean it."

He looked at Zhang Yecheng's face which was as dark as ink, and suddenly lost his usual expression control. His eyes wandered around uneasily, and the smile on his face almost disappeared.

"Don't tell me these nonsense. Today, if you two don't tell me everything you've hidden from me, don't even think about getting past me."

Zhang Yecheng folded his arms across his chest, staring at Xi Liu and Zhang Mo with eyes wide open, as if he was determined not to give up.

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we don't know whether we should tell you. This is a private matter about the Saint, and we can't make the decision on our own.

The clan leader has the closest relationship with the Saint, and he knows the most about the Saint. Why don't you wait until you find the clan leader and ask him in person?"

After Xi Liu finished speaking, he stood still. No matter how Zhang Yecheng threatened or tempted him, he would not utter another word.

Zhang Mo stood behind him, his round eyes looking at the sky, the earth, the mountains and the lakes, but not at Zhang Yecheng.

Zhang Yecheng had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking further and turned away.

After he left, Xi Liu instantly put away the kind smile on her face and turned to look at Zhang Mo angrily.

"You can hide back if you want, why are you pushing me? What if I didn't stop in time and fell on Mr. Zhang?"

"You didn't fall on him, I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, I have great faith in your skills. Let's go."

Xi Liu looked at Zhang Mo walking away in a leisurely manner, and in a trance, she seemed to see the naughty and talkative boy in her youth.

In the dark night, one or two birds chirping and insects chirping could be heard occasionally in the pitch-black forest. The moon was dim and the stars were sparse.

Everyone sat around the fire burning by the lake, eating their food quietly.

"Mr. Zhang, have you decided where we should go in early tomorrow morning? Or should we just go in the same way we did before?"

Wu Xie put down the square box and looked at Zhang Yecheng seriously. The others also looked up at him, waiting for his answer.

“No, I’m very familiar with the Zhang family’s ancient building. It’s time-consuming and laborious to go in through the entrance you found before.

We will go directly into the ancient village under the lake tomorrow. Inside the ancient village ancestral hall, there is a shortcut leading directly to the Zhang family's ancient building."

"A shortcut? A way to get in without using the password of Siguniang Mountain?"

Facing the fat man's question, Zhang Yecheng nodded firmly. When everyone saw this, they were speechless when they thought of the ordeal they had experienced before.

Xie Yuchen thought of the Miluotuo guarding outside the Zhang family's ancient building and looked at their bags. This time, they did not carry any strong alkali that could deal with the Miluotuo.

"Will we encounter those man-eating Miluotu again? If we do, I suggest not going in yet. I'll have someone send some strong alkali."

"Yes, those Miluotos are very ferocious. Last time, Tianzhen, Hanyan, and my brother fell into their lair. If it weren't for Hanyan, we might have died there."

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, everyone except Bai Haotian and Zhang Yecheng stopped talking instantly.
