Chapter 244 You'd be a burden if you went up there.
"You can't do it." Mo Li turned to look at Yun Yi.
"Why can't I?" Yunyi frowned.
"Because I'm your father."
"I am your... Fine, if you are my father, wouldn't it be better for me to inherit your mantle?"
“Didn’t you hear what that girl said? It’s a thankless task. Besides, Miao’er won’t agree to let her precious daughter go into fighting and killing.” Mo Li’s consciousness became slightly confused again. “I can’t upset her. Our daughter just needs to be pretty every day and eat, drink and play.”
Yunyi was inexplicably moved. This person truly loved Qi Miao'er, but it was a pity that fate played a cruel trick on them.
Hong Yi looked at Yun Yi with some complicated feelings. Although she didn't know the details clearly, she did know that it involved the love and hatred of the previous generation.
"I'll go find my apprentice first, I..." Mo Li shook his head and turned to leave.
Yunyi, however, sent two needles directly over.
Mo Li froze instantly, then her whole body lurched forward, but she was only halfway down when someone grabbed the back of her clothes.
The person closest to them was Yang Xiusong, who had lost his left arm. He rushed over and helped Mo Li up.
The others saw this and came over to help.
"Let him lie inside for a while." Yun Yi let go and took two steps back.
Yunyi removed the needle in less than five minutes.
"How did I end up here?" Mo Li quickly touched his head and got up. "Girl, what are you doing here? I remember fighting with that red girl just now."
"Okay, you must be tired from playing, come and rest." Yunyi said, pouring a cup of tea and handing it to him. "Have some water."
Mo Li's eyes lit up after taking the teacup. He glanced at Yun Yi, drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and said, "I'm going to take a dump." Then he ran off.
Yunyi couldn't help but sigh. This was truly bringing back a troublesome ancestor. She then asked Hongyi to call Lin Zhao over.
"Young Miss, Uncle Lin has gone up the mountain." Hong Yi returned quickly. "He hasn't been here lately; he's been wandering around the mountains almost every day."
Yunyi nodded: "Then I'll go up the mountain to look for him."
"Young Miss, are you going to abandon me again?" The woman in red's accusatory gaze was quite obvious.
"You'd only be a burden if you went up there."
“I…” Hongyi felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
"If you want to help here, then stay. If you don't want to, then go home first." Yunyi patted Hongyi's head. "That's an order."
Hong pouted. Although Yunyi was right, it really hurt her pride. Maybe she should become an apprentice? If she had that old man's skills, would she not be disliked by the young lady?
Yunyi had no idea what the little girl was thinking. As soon as she left the house, she headed straight up the mountain.
Everyone felt that she was just strolling leisurely up the mountain, but why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?
"Brother Quan, our girl doesn't seem to have any internal energy, so how come her lightness skill is so amazing?" He Fengguang, one of the seven veterans who came with him, was quite gossipy and talkative, and couldn't help but ask Brother Quan.
"You'd better not pry into the girl's affairs." Old Quan glanced at him. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask; that's a principle. Just in case..."
"Don't worry, I was just curious and asking casually." He Fengguang quickly smiled, "Don't make a big deal out of it."
Lao Quan nodded: "That would be best. Our girls are very discerning and won't tolerate even the slightest imperfection. You'd better rein in your gossipy nature."
He Fengguang chuckled awkwardly, "I know, I know." Then he turned around and went back to work, but when no one was looking, he couldn't help but rub his fingers together and roll his eyes.
Old Quan frowned slightly as he watched He Fengguang's retreating figure. He felt that this Old He was somewhat different from the Old He in his memory. If it weren't for the scar on the back of his hand, he would have thought that someone was impersonating him.
Yunyi quickly entered White Tiger Mountain, and only then did she release Sixteen from her restraints: [Where are you?]
"Boss, what do you mean? I've been calling you for ages, and you've ignored me? You...!"
[You didn't show up when I called you before, did you?]
Sixteen fell silent.
Alright, stop being so sentimental. Hurry up and get to White Tiger Mountain to find Lin Zhao's location.
Sixteen is the age when you can start working.
Wolves are kings in the mountains and forests, especially system wolves like Sixteen. With most of the wild beasts around here under their control, finding someone in the forest is too easy. They gave me the location in about ten minutes.
Lin Zhao was lying on the ground sniffing the earth like a dog when she suddenly saw a pair of embroidery threads in front of her. She quickly looked up and was overjoyed: "Miss, what brings you here?"
"Did you find something again?" Yunyi looked around. This place was already deep in the White Tiger Mountain, with two mountains separating it from the mountain she had bought.
“Young lady, if I’m not mistaken, there should be a huge burial complex down there.” Lin Zhao’s eyes lit up. “From that hilltop to here, there’s something underground.”
"So big?" Yunyi was also stunned.
“Hmm.” Lin Zhao nodded. “Moreover, a tomb of this scale shouldn’t be a tomb anymore; I think it should be a country.”
"A country?" Yunyi frowned slightly. "You mean, there's a buried country down there?"
Lin Zhao nodded: "That's my guess, but without going down there to see for myself, I can't be sure."
Yunyi stroked her chin: "Whether it's a tomb or a country where things are buried, there must be good things there, right?"
Lin Zhao was taken aback, then smiled: "Of course, but... whether we can get it or not depends on luck."
"I was thinking, didn't Mo Li want to build a manor here? He even asked the Mo family to set up traps. If there really are caves or secret rooms down there, wouldn't we be able to use them then?"
"what?"
"If we use it, we won't have to build it ourselves, which saves a lot of trouble, right?"
"Hehe, girl, you're saving money too."
"Yes, that's the main point."
“But…” Lin Zhao felt both amused and exasperated. “But we need to find the entrance below first and figure out what’s going on down there. Otherwise, if there’s something there, it would be a loss.”
“I know,” Yunyi nodded. “So, I want to find an opportunity to go down and take a look.”
"You?" Lin Zhao's eyes widened.
“Yes.” Yunyi nodded. “We can’t draw any conclusions without going down and taking a look. Are you interested? I know your sense of smell has returned.”
Lin Zhao fell silent. His sense of smell had indeed returned, but he hadn't done it for many years. Moreover, he couldn't say for sure that he could protect the girl.
“I don’t need your protection, you just need to be able to protect yourself.” Yunyi saw the other’s hesitation. “Of course, if you don’t want to, I can go down by myself.”
