Chapter 1325: Chapter 1233: The Anomaly of the Buddha Statue

Su Pan’er picked up the candlestick and slowly walked to the wooden cabinet that covered an entire wall.

The books in the cabinet were still neatly arranged, but several of them had been moved from their specific places.

Su Pan’er furrowed her brows; who could have come in here?

Her first thought was of the Qin family’s clan leader and the clan elders, but then she immediately dismissed it. When the old clan leader was still alive, he might have frequented this place, as she could tell from the arrangement when she first came here. But now, the thick dust on the table was enough to show that it had been a long time since anyone had sat here reading books.

If not them, then who?

"Ke’er? No, impossible!"

Even if Ke’er had the key, it would still not be easy for him to enter the Qin Clan’s ancestral hall.

Bringing the conversation back, if the key in Ke’er’s possession wasn’t for this place, then what was it for?

Also, those family registers seemed to have been flipped through; who had been looking through them?

Su Pan’er glanced at the exit of the tunnel on the other side, intending to step in and take a look, but after thinking it through, she decided to turn back and leave.

She would wait until no one else was around before venturing further in.

As Su Pan’er left the ancestral hall, the inside remained just as she had left it, with the two clan elders still standing outside, not even turning their heads.

"Hm?"

She extended her mental power outward but unintentionally touched something, causing her a great deal of surprise and doubt. Subconsciously, she turned back.

There, the tall Buddha statue still stood silently in its place, as if nothing had changed.

However, this time, Su Pan’er did not leave directly; instead, she reached out and pressed her hand against the surface of the Buddha statue.

Almost as soon as her hand touched the surface, a powerful rebounding force suddenly appeared, pushing her hand far away.

"Eh?"

With a look of astonishment, Su Pan’er had just felt a strong fluctuation of mental power coming from the Buddha statue!

Remembering the commotion that had happened years ago, Su Pan’er instinctively stepped back three paces and narrowed her eyes, "Stop your tricks and come out!"

The Buddha statue remained quiet, without the slightest disturbance.

Su Pan’er suddenly realized that what she felt was only mental power.

Immediately using a secret sound transmission, she sent her voice out with her mental power, "Come out! Stop your tricks. Otherwise, don’t blame me for destroying this Buddha statue!"

The surroundings were still eerily quiet, without a hint of movement.

"Fine, since you’re going to be like this, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Su Pan’er nodded slightly, retreated a few more steps, and began to mobilize her own mental power.

But at the next moment, a strange consciousness suddenly enveloped her...

Following that, a dignified and aged voice emerged, "Wait... do you think it’s too excessive to attack and kill me, this remnant soul, you little child?"

There really was someone!

Su Pan’er broke out in a cold sweat on her back as she stared at the Buddha statue in front of her.

"Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I will not harm you, nor will I harm anyone else."

The ancient and exhausted voice hovered in her ears.

"The wolf that would eat Mr. Dongguo, would never claim to eat people itself."

Su Pan’er didn’t let her guard down in the slightest, "Speak! Who exactly are you, and why are you here? If you lie... heh heh!"

Dealing with the opponent, Su Pan’er had a slippery feeling that she couldn’t grasp.

The opponent was clearly somewhat afraid that she might truly destroy the Buddha statue, "Alas, there’s no need for you to worry about the old man. If you wish to know, I don’t mind telling you my past, but it’s a long story..."

"Then make a long story short!"

"..."

The opponent seemed to be choked up and was at a loss for words.

After a moment, he still spoke, "All right, all right, the old man will make a long story short. In the past, I was a companion by the Qin family ancestors’ side, accompanying the Qin family ancestors everywhere. But later, after the ancestor passed away from illness, I couldn’t bear to die just like that, so I separated a strand of my soul and hid inside this Buddha statue..."

"Aren’t Buddha statues supposed to be objects of suppression, making it impossible for those under them to struggle free? How come you are alright with no problems?"

Su Pan’er pressed on with her questions.

"Ah! With the old man in this state, do you think I am really alright with no problems? The old man has unspeakable suffering, it was easy to enter, but now I wish to leave and I can’t even get out of the Buddha statue. Does that seem alright?" The ancient voice seemed even more despondent.

"You can’t get out?"

Su Pan’er’s gaze dropped, and the many Buddhist scriptures on the Buddha statue caught her eye.

Could it be that someone among the Qin family’s ancestors intentionally trapped the opponent inside the Buddha statue? Once this thought emerged, it was like wild grass growing in Su Pan’er’s inner heart, ceaseless and unstoppable.

"In fact, you don’t need to be so adversarial towards the old man."

The opponent was clearly also somewhat indolent, "Let’s not mention that I can’t get out. Speaking of that rascal pig, with its character of profiting off every situation, it really hasn’t disappointed the old man!"

"You know the rascal pig?"

"Him? Of course, I know him. He is also from the younger generation of mine. I wouldn’t fail to maintain his reputation."

The ancient voice continued to speak.

He unexpectedly knew the rascal pig, and recalling that she hadn’t seen that damn pig for so long, Su Pan’er urgently asked, "When did you meet it?"

"He is from my younger generation, could I not recognize it? You also don’t need to be so cautious of the old man, after all, I am stuck here unable to leave. You can always challenge it, and if you find out I have lied, you have plenty of ways to teach the old man a lesson, right?"

Su Pan’er narrowed her eyes at him, "Fine, I’ll ask the rascal pig and then come back to discuss the details with you." Saying so, she casually picked up the red silk, threw it over the head of the Buddha statue, covering both the head and half of the body.

Decisively, Su Pan’er turned around and left the ancestral hall. She briefly chatted with the two clan elders waiting outside before turning back.

The sky was already dark outside, with only two or three sparse stars twinkling in the night.

Xiren had long been waiting outside. Seeing Su Pan’er come out, she quickly approached her, "Empress, are you... are you alright?"

"Do I look like someone in trouble? Let’s go, we’ll talk after we get back."

Su Pan’er had no interest in lingering, and she returned to the Qin Mansion with Xiren.

Zhou Ning’s mother had already been waiting at the gate, and upon seeing the two of them appear dirty and without anyone else by their side, the grievances in her heart exploded.

She rushed forward immediately, "Empress, the words you said before entering, you can’t go back on them! My poor Ning’er, who knows how he is now? Ning’er, my poor Ning’er..."

Already worried sick about the missing group, Su Pan’er felt a surge of anger rising within her due to Zhou Ning’s mother’s pressing.

"Stop crying! I’ve said that I will definitely bring him back safely. Do you not trust me, or do you not believe that Zhou Ning will come back alive?"
