The ancestor of the Wu family continued, "Has your master explained to you the content of this mission?"

"My mentor has not entrusted me with these details, I humbly request that the ancestor enlighten me."

"Over five hundred years ago, when the Manchu and Qing Tartars had just entered through the pass, I gathered the forces of the Imperial Alliance, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to support a descendant of the Zhu Family as emperor. Unfortunately, the timing was not right, and that fool Li Zicheng was defeated by the People of Manchu in a mere moment. Afterwards, the Imperial Alliance was ruthlessly hunted down by the Manchu. With no other choice, I led the main forces of the Alliance to escape East to Yamato." The ancestor of the Wu family looked up at the sky, a sense of vicissitude spontaneously arising, "Before heading East, one of my Shadow Guards inadvertently stumbled upon an ancient Yin Shang site, claiming it contained an immense amount of energy. At that time, a team was dispatched to investigate, but only one Shadow Guard came out alive. According to his report, there should be an enormous treasure hidden within the site."

The Saintess furrowed her brows and asked, "Forgive my dullness, but doesn’t the present-day Imperial Alliance have enough money?"

The ancestor of the Wu family laughed, "Naturally, we are not short of money, but the Empress has just awakened, and she needs two things that I currently do not have to her satisfaction."

Upon hearing it concerned the Empress, a sharp glint naturally flashed in the eyes of the Saintess, "What are those things?"

"A dress and a jade bracelet."

"A jade bracelet? That kind of thing didn’t exist during the Shang Dynasty, did it?"

"They didn’t have it during the Yin Shang period, but that doesn’t mean people from later generations couldn’t have brought it there."

As an exceedingly astute person, the Saintess immediately felt goosebumps all over at these words, thinking to herself, "It seems that the old witch is sending me to some demon’s lair!"

It seemed as if the ancestor of the Wu family saw through the Saintess’s thoughts and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I always reward those who work for me generously. Moreover, this time I will send a team of Shadow Guards with you. Apart from those two items, all other objects you acquire will belong to your Holy Alliance."

Upon hearing that there would be Shadow Guards for protection, the Saintess immediately smiled, "I will certainly not disappoint the ancestor’s high expectations!"

After some thought, the Saintess asked again, "May I ask the ancestor, where is this place?"

"Gourd Mountain, Zhao’s Village."

At two-thirty in the afternoon, Du Xishan, accompanied by you and Fan Yi, a total of three people, boarded a bus heading to Eastern Sea City.

On the bus, you and Du Xishan sat in one row, while Fan Yi sat opposite.

You turned to Du Xishan and asked, "Old Du, why do we only have three people on our side? What about the fatso?"

"What ’fatso’? You young people have no manners, his surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Lin." Du Xishan gave you a disgusted look, "Sun Lin is considered one of the top archaeologists in the country, you better show some respect when you meet him."

You shrugged, "But the problem is, with only three of us here, doesn’t that mean we’re just running errands for them?"

Du Xishan smiled mysteriously, "You’re still too green, kid."

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t think archaeology digs are like gang fights where the side with more people always wins. We... rely on this." Saying so, Du Xishan pointed to his head, "Old Sun may have brought an entire archaeological team this time, but who are those people really? Small fry! Moreover, according to my estimation, this place is definitely out of the ordinary and certainly cannot be excavated on a large scale formally."

Du Xishan paused, then continued, "It seemed on the surface that Shitou Zhang committed suicide, and the detectives over there have already made clear analyses, but I believe that even though Shitou Zhang killed himself, there must have been external forces pushing him to hastily end his own life."

Saying this, Du Xishan poked your arm and asked, "Mu Yun, you’ve had previous dealings with Shitou Zhang, haven’t you? Who do you think the mastermind behind this might be?"

"From what we can see now, it’s very likely the work of the Yamato Onmyoji who gave that bizarre stone to Shitou Zhang, but we don’t have any information on this person, and naturally, there’s no way to start."

Du Xishan just laughed and shook his head, "Some matters, some people, once they get involved, they can’t extricate themselves. These years, I’ve always trusted my instincts, and it’s precisely because of these instincts that I’m still alive today."

You looked at Du Xishan, with a slight frown on your forehead, "Are you saying there will be other forces getting involved this time?"

"That’s for certain. The reason Old Zhang sent a text to Old Sun just before he died, and from someone else’s cell phone at that, wasn’t because he was worried that the mastermind behind the scenes would know about our existence, but rather to warn us, to let us be concerned."

"If that’s the case, why didn’t he just speak plainly?"

"If he’d spoken plainly, do you think Old Sun would still be alive?"

Hearing this, you were stunned, not expecting the situation to be so complicated.

Just then, Du Xishan reached out to pat your shoulder, smiling and saying, "Don’t worry, no matter what, I will ensure your safety."

A smirk crossed your lips, and you laughed.

"What’s the beautiful lady’s surname?"

At that moment, from the corner of your eye, you saw a slightly overweight man sitting next to Fan Yi. The man looked quite sturdy with a flat top haircut and a fleshy face, the kind that signaled he was not someone to be trifled with.

Right now, he was leering at Fan Yi with a smile.

Fan Yi glanced at him but did not pay any attention.

"Hey, don’t be so cold, beautiful. I’ll have you know I’m a decent guy. I never usually start a conversation with girls. I did today only because you are just too pretty, and you even match my height perfectly." As he spoke, Flat Top Head pulled out a rose gold iPhone from his pocket, grinning with a mouthful of crooked teeth, "You have no idea, my mom has very strict requirements for a future daughter-in-law. She said I must find someone whose height matches mine because that would mean taller children; and then the person has to be beautiful, where do you find such girls these days, I was just thinking and in this sea of people, I found you, beautiful. My name is..."

"I don’t know what your name is, but if you don’t shut up, believe it or not, I’ll thrash you!"

You stood up fiercely and thundered down on Flat Top Head.

The Flat Top Head wasn’t one to be provoked either. He immediately slapped his seat and yelled, "Heh! Some brat is tired of living, daring to face off against me!"

Without a second word, you gave Fan Yi a look. She, not knowing why, got the message right away, stood up from her seat, and walked out.

And as Fan Yi stood up, your hand had already reached out, grabbing Flat Top Head by the collar and yanking him up from his chair!

"For your yapping! For your arrogance!"

You slammed Flat Top Head hard onto the floor, and while he was disoriented by the fall, struggling to find his bearings, you smashed a fist straight into Flat Top Head’s face!

One punch!

Two punches!

Three, four punches, blood dripping from the nose!
